Question:
It is repeated to our ears by the preachers: “O Malik, we have been weighed down by iron. O Malik, non-existence is better than this existence.” What is this, O Shaykh? A hadith?
Answer:
This is narrated about the people of the Fire; they say this to Malik, the keeper of the Fire, while they are in the Fire.
Q: Is this a well-known saying?
The Shaykh: It is reported that the people of the Fire say this, but I do not know of a valid hadith regarding it. I do not recall anything, but it is reported that the people of the Fire address Malik, the keeper of the Fire.
[Surah al-Zukhruf: 77] This is what the Qur'an has specified. We ask Allah for well-being.

And they will call, "O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Indeed, you will remain."
وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مَاكِثُونَ
