The Variation of Disbelievers in the Punishment of Hellfire and the Trial in the Grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, do the disbelievers vary in the punishment in the Fire of Hell, and are they tested in their graves?

Answer:
The disbelievers in the Fire of Hell are eternal, abiding therein forever, and there is no doubt that they vary in the punishment.
the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fireالْمُنَافِقِينَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ
[An-Nisa 4:145]
And refuge is sought in Allah from the most severe punishment. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment."أَدْخِلُوا آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَشَدَّ الْعَذَابِ
[Ghafir 40:46]
So they vary.
The least of them in punishment, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, is Abu Talib, the uncle of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). He is placed in shallow fire, and in the soles of his feet are two embers from which his brain boils. He does not see anyone with a more severe punishment than his, even though he is the least of the people of the Fire in punishment, and refuge is sought in Allah. Yes.
