Does anyone enter the Fire after crossing the Sirat?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the believers cross the Sirat on the Day of Resurrection, and some of them take revenge on others, does this mean that one of them might enter the Fire after crossing the Sirat?

Answer:
Allah knows best. Entering Paradise: they only enter after the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) opens the gate of Paradise for them. They enter gradually. The intercession of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is necessary for them to enter. For this reason, it came in the verse:
But those who feared their Lordوَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ
[Az-Zumar 39:73]
... into Paradise in groups, until when they came to it and its gates were opened... The use of the conjunction "wa" (and) attached to "came to it" indicates that they do not enter it immediately. As for the Fire, may Allah protect us from it,
until, when they reach it while its gates have been openedحَتَّىٰ إِذَا جَاءُوهَا وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا
[Az-Zumar 39:73]
... they enter it gradually. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
