The Meaning of What Came in the Hadith: "He Never Did a Good Deed..."

Question:
His statement, "He never did a good deed," means in addition to tawhid (the oneness of Allah)...?

Answer:
It is necessary; this is distinct from tawhid. Just as it was said: ... They will come out of the Fire after the intercessors have interceded. Allah will bring out a group of people from the Fire who never did any good, meaning except for tawhid. Allah will bring them out of the Fire without intercession, after they have been gathered in it and tormented... They will come out of the Fire. In a narration in the Sahih, it is stated: , and in another narration it was added: , and in another narration: .
The scholars have unanimously agreed that one who dies upon shirk (associating partners with Allah), and who is not excused, is not among the people of the periods of ignorance and has not been excused, that he will be eternal in the Fire and will not come out of it. The only point of discussion and disagreement between them and the Mu'tazilah and the Khawarij is regarding the sinners. The people of the Sunnah and the community say that the sinners will come out and will not be tormented with a permanent, eternal punishment, but rather their punishment has an end. The sinners have an end; and even if some of their punishment is described as eternal, it is an eternal punishment with an end, a temporary eternity like the eternity of the fornicator, the murderer, and the one who kills himself, but this has an end. As for the eternity of the disbelievers, it has no end; their eternity is continuous. We ask Allah for safety.
