Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What did the author (may Allah have mercy on him) transmit from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and the Prophet) regarding his statement, “Rejoice, O Abdullah, of Paradise after the retribution”?
Answer:
The retribution, yes, after the retribution. Because some people are promised Paradise absolutely, and that is the complete believer in faith. And among them are those who are promised Paradise after punishment, and that is the one who committed a major sin, a major sin that is less than shirk (associating partners with Allah). So this person may be punished in the Fire, but his ultimate destination is Paradise. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
