(Explanation that what is slaughtered between Paradise and Hell is death itself, not the Angel of Death) Or have you not heard of its slaughter between the two dwellings, like the slaughter of a ram?

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
This section, as the author (may Allah have mercy on him) explains, states that death is brought between Paradise and Hell, and the people of Paradise and Hell are called out and asked: Do you know this? They say: Yes, this is death. It is then slaughtered while they watch, and it is said:As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 65:339 And their saying: refers to this which was brought in the form of a white ram. It is not the angel, the Angel of Death, who is one of the noble angels, but rather death itself. The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "And the refutation of those who said that the slaughter is for the Angel of Death, and that that is a metaphor" meaning that applying the term "death" to it is a metaphor for the Angel of Death. He said:
"Or have you not heard of its slaughter between the two dwellings, like the slaughter of a ram?"
The two dwellings are the dwelling of the people of Paradise and the dwelling of the people of Hell.
"May this noble King be spared, for it is only our appointed death for mankind"
"May this noble King be spared" means I purify the matter from the slaughter being for the angel himself; rather, it is for the appointed death.

O people of Paradise, it is eternity and no death, and O people of Hell, it is eternity and no death.
يا أهل الجنة خلودٌ ولا موت ويا أهل النار خلودٌ ولا موتThis is death.
