Hadith 117

n what you have ever seen at all. I-saww said to them: ‘What are they? ’ They said to me, ‘Come! ’ We went and came to a large garden. I-saww had not seen a garden larger than it nor any more excellent. They said to me, ‘Go into it, ascending in it! ’ We ascended in it and ended up to a city built with bricks of gold and bricks of silver. We came to a gate of the city sought it to be opened. It was opened for us. We entered it. We met therein men of various physiques as excellent as what you have seen, and a variety as ugly as what you have seen. They both said to them, ‘Go and fall into that river! ’ There was a river crossing, flowing. Its water was pure in the whiteness. They went and fell into it. Then they returned to us, and the evil was gone away from them. They had become of excellent images. They said to me, ‘There is the Garden of Eden, and over there is your-saww house. I-saww raised my-saww sight and there was a castle like the nourished eggs. They said to me, ‘This is your-saww house! ’
I-saww said to them, ‘May Allah-azwj Bless you both! Leave me-saww to enter it’. They said, ‘As for now, so no, and you-saww will be entering it’. I-saww said to them, ‘I-saww have been seeing wonders tonight, so what it this which I-saww have seen? ’
They said to me, ‘As for us, we shall be informing you-saww. As for the first man whom you‑saww had come to, his head was being smashed with the rocks, he is the man who took the Quran and rejected it, and he slept from the Prescribed Salats. This will be done with him up to the Day of Qiyamah. As for the man whom you had come to, his mouth was being spread to his back, and his nostrils to his back, and his eyes to his back, it is the man who went from his house and tells lies, i. e. , reaching the horizons. So, this is being done with him up to the Day of Qiyamah. And as for naked men and women, those who were in the like of the oven, they were the adulteresses and the adulterers. And as for the man whom you-saww had come to swimming in the river and swallowing the stones, he had consumed the usury (interest). And as for the man of abhorrent appearance, the one who had a fire with him, feeding it, it is Maalik, keeper of the Fire. And as for the tall man who was in the garden, it is Ibrahim-as, and as for the children, those who were around him-as, it is every new-born who had died upon the nature. And as for the people, those a group of them were good looking, and a group of them were ugly, they are a people who had mingled righteous deeds and other evil deeds. Allah-azwj had Overlooked from them, and I-as am Jibraeel-as and this is Mikaeel-as! ’’[181] (From a Non-shia source)
In a Hadeeth of the Prophet-saww: ‘Every new-born is born upon the nature. Its parents Judaised him, and Christianised him, and Magianised him’’. [182]
