Combining the hadith of the eternal abode of the suicide in the Fire with the principle of the people of the Sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is stated in the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community that a monotheist from the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) will not enter the Fire, and it is stated in the hadith of Abu Hurayrah that the one who kills himself will abide eternally in the Fire. How do you combine the hadith with the methodology?

Answer:
Note that the disbeliever and the one who associates partners with Allah is eternal in the Fire and will never enter Paradise.
Indeed, he who associates othersإِنَّهُ مَن يُشْرِكْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:72]
in
Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَأْوَاهُ النَّارُ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنصَارٍ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:72]
And He said, “The Fire is prepared for the disbelievers.” So the disbeliever and the one who associates partners with Allah will never enter Paradise; he will never enter Paradise. Allah has forbidden Paradise for him.
(40) Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle. And thus do We recompense the criminals. (41) They will have from Hell a bed and over them coverings [of fire]. And thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا عَنْهَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَلَا يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّىٰ يَلِجَ الْجَمَلُ فِي سَمِّ الْخِيَاطِ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُجْرِمِينَ لَهُم مِّن جَهَنَّمَ مِهَادٌ وَمِن فَوْقِهِمْ غَوَاشٍ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الظَّالِمِينَ
[Al-A'raf 7:40-41]
As for the disobedient believer who has committed a major sin, such as killing a soul without right, or committing unlawful sexual intercourse, or drinking intoxicants, he has committed a major sin from the major sins, and he is threatened with punishment and the Fire, but it returns to the will of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
If Allah wills, He will punish him and put him in the Fire according to his sins, then take him out of it into Paradise. And if Allah wills, He will pardon him and he will not enter the Fire at all, from the very first moment. This is subject to the will of Allah.
Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He willsإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَاءُ
[An-Nisa 4:48]
The successful sinner is under the will [of Allah].
If Allah wills, He will forgive him and admit him into Paradise from the very first moment, and the Fire will not touch him. And if He wills, He will punish him in the Fire according to his sins, then take him out of it and admit him into Paradise, and he will not abide eternally in the Fire. This is the principle of the people of the Sunnah and the community. Yes.
