Hadith 159

eckon that any creature had been Created being more wretched than me–la, so Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed to mela: ‘Yes, I-azwj have Created one who is more wretched than you–la! Go to Maalik (keeper of Hell), he will show him to you–la! ”
I–la went to Maalik and said, ‘The Salaam (Allah-azwj) Conveys the Greetings to you and Says to show me–la one who is more wretched than me–la! ’ Maalik went with me to the Fire and raised the top covering. A dark fire came out, I–la thought it would consume me–la and consume Maalik. He said to it, ‘Calm down! ’ So, it calmed down. Then he went from it to the second covering. A flame came out which was more intense than that black one, and more intensely hotter. He said to it, ‘Subside! ’ It subsided, until he went with me–la to the seventh, and each flame coming out from a covering was severer than the former. A fire came out, I–la thought it would consume me–la and consume Maalik and entirety of whatever Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Created. I–la placed my–la hands upon my–la eyes and said, ‘Order it, O Maalik, to subside, otherwise I–la will die! ’ He said, ‘You–la will never die up to the known time’. He ordered it and it subsided. I–la saw two men having chains of fire in their necks, handing by it to above, and upon their heads was a group having rods of fire with them, whipping them both with these. I–la said, ‘O Maalik! Who are these two? ’
He said, ‘And what did you read upon the Base of the Throne, and before you–la were reading it before Allah-azwj had Created the world by two thousand years: “There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj. I-azwj Aided him-asws and Helped him-saww with Ali-asws! ” He said, ‘These two are enemies of them-asws and their-asws oppressors’’. [72]
