The Punishment in the Fire Before the Resurrection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that some people are punished in the Fire. Does this contradict the knowledge that the punishment in the Fire occurs after the Resurrection?
Answer:
It is not contradictory. They are punished with a portion of the punishment, just as I was shown the two men in the graves, one of whom did not benefit from the earth and the other who used to spread talebearing. They are punished with a portion of the punishment that Allah has decreed for them. Yes.
