The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "As for the people of the Fire who are truly its inhabitants, they will neither die in it nor live. But there are people whom the Fire will touch because of their sins" (or he said, "because of their wrongdoings"), "and it will cause them to die a death. Once they have been reduced to charcoal, permission will be granted for intercession. They will be brought forth in groups upon groups and scattered along the rivers of Paradise. Then it will be said, 'People of Paradise, pour water upon them,' and they will sprout as a seed sprouts in the silt left by a flood."A man from the gathering remarked, "It is as though the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had once lived in the desert."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: أما أهل النار الذين هم أهلها فإنهم لا يموتون فيها ولا يحيون، ولكن ناس أصابتهم النار بذنوبهم (أو قال: بخطاياهم)، فأماتهم إماتة حتى إذا كانوا فحما أذن بالشفاعة، فجيء بهم ضبائر ضبائر، فبثوا على أنهار الجنة، ثم قيل: يا أهل الجنة أفيضوا عليهم، فينبتون نبات الحبة تكون في حميل السيل. فقال رجل من القوم: كأن رسول الله ﷺ قد كان بالبادية.
Muslim narrated it in the Book of Iman (185) through several routes from Abu Salama, from Abu Nadra, from Abu Saeed, and he related it.His saying, "dabair," is the plural of "dabara" (with the letter dad vowelled either with kasra or fatha), meaning groups scattered apart. His saying, "fabaqu" means they were dispersed.
