Question:
The hadith of AishaSunan Abi Dawud 1543Sahih (Al-Albani).. What is the trial of the Fire? Some of the commentators said that the trial of the Fire is the questioning by the guardians; based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Surah al-Mulk:8]?
Answer:
Allah knows best, Allah knows best. The Fire is a trial. To *fatan* a thing means to torment it and adorn it [Surah al-Dhariyat:14], meaning your torment. The term *fitnah* is used for torment. The trial of the Fire means the torment of the Fire.

O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the trials of the Fire
اللهم إني أعوذ بك من فتنة النارIt almost bursts with rage. Every time a company is thrown into it, its keepers ask them, "Did there not come to you a warner?"

Allah knows best, Allah knows best. The Fire is a trial. To *fatan* a thing means to torment it and adorn it
