17.Muḥammad ibn Sinān narrated from Abū Khālid al-Qammāṭ[1] who said,

“I asked Abū ʿAbdillāh [and in another version: Abū Jaʿfar ], ‘When Allah admits the people of Paradise into Paradise and [throws] the people of Hell into Hell, then what [happens next]?’ So Abū Jaʿfar said, ‘If Allah wishes to create another creation and make a world for them to return to, He will do so – and I am not saying to you that this is what He will [surely] do.’”
