Two categories of the people of the Fire whom I have not seen

Question:
He (peace be upon him) said:

There will be in the end of my Ummah (the Muslim community)

سيكون في آخر أمتي

Women who are ungrateful, or whose heads are like the humps of camels, curse them, for they are cursed,

These women would not get into Paradise and they would not perceive the odour of Paradise, although its frag- rance can be perceived from such and such distance (from great distance).

لا يدخلن الجنة، ولا يزن ريحها، وإن ريحها لتوجد من مسيرة كذا وكذا

Sahih Muslim 2128b

, is this a simile?

Answer:
Yes, this is the wording of the hadith, approximately, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in which he said (peace and blessings be upon him).

the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating

أهل النار لم أرهما رجال معهم سياط كأذناب البقر يضربون

Sahih Muslim 2128

with it.

the people, and women who are ungrateful, arrogant, causing others to deviate, and deviating themselves, their heads like the humps of a tilted camel, they will not enter Paradise nor smell its scent

الناس، ونساء تاكيات عاليات مائلات، أميلات رؤوسهن كعشمة الأخت المائلة، لا يدخلن الجنة ولا يجدن ريحها

, and in another wording

Curse them, for they are cursed,

العنوهن فإنهن ملعونات،

this contains a severe warning for women who do not observe gratitude and chastity, and women who expose themselves to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and expose themselves to the anger of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) because they cause fitnah for themselves and for others due to their lack of care for hijab (the covering prescribed for women), and their lack of care for covering, life, chastity, and Islamic morals.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
