(No one who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah will enter the Fire or be fed by it) Does this mean that the one who affirms the oneness of Allah will not enter the Fire initially?

The questioner : His statement
He who testifies that there is no god but Allah and I am the messenger of Allah would not enter Hell or its (flames) would not consume him. لا يشهد أحد أن لا إله إلا الله وأني رسول الله فيدخل النار أو تطعمه
Sahih Muslim 33a
Does this imply that the one who affirms the oneness of Allah will not enter the Fire at all?

The Shaykh : No.

The questioner : And what is the meaning of "or be fed by it"?

The Shaykh : This is not from the hadiths of hope; the conditions that prevent him from entering the Fire must be fulfilled.
