Hadith 94

Nahj Al-Balagah: ‘Until when the Decree reaches its term, and the Command (reaches) its Pre-determination, and the last of the people catch up with their first ones, and there comes from Allah-azwj a Command He-azwj Wants from renewal of His-azwj creatures, He-azwj would Extend the sky and Originate it, and Convolutes the earth and Shakes it, and Uproots its mountains and Scatter them, and part of it would demolish part from awe of His-azwj Majesty, and fear of His-azwj Domination, and the ones in it would come out. He-azwj would Renew them after their wearing out, and Gather them after their separation. Then He-azwj would Distinguish them to what He-azwj Wants from their interest about the hidden deeds, and secret deeds, and Make them to be as two groups – Favouring upon these ones and Avenging from those. As for the obedient people, He-azwj would Reward them with His-azwj Vicinity and eternal abiding in His-azwj House (Paradise), where they will neither be transferred from, nor would their states change, nor would panic seize them, nor would the sickness attain them, nor would the danger be exposed to them, nor would the journeys present to them. And as for the disobedient people, He-azwj would Descend them in an evil House (Hell), and Shackle the hands to the necks, and Chain the foreheads with the feet, and Clothe them with trousers of tar and pieces of the fires in a Punishment in which its heat would have intensified, and a door which would have closed upon its inhabitants in a Fire having difficulties for it, and shouts, and screams, and radiant flames, and an enormous pit. Neither would its resident be moved, nor would its captivity come to an end, nor would its shackles be broken, nor would the term of the House be terminated, nor would there be death for a people so they would expire’’.
