So if they endure the chastisement the Fire will still be their abode; and if they seek reconciliation if they seek the satisfaction of God then they will not be among the reconciled those deemed satisfactory by God.

The (permanent) inhabitants of the Fire are those who are doomed to it, and verily they would neither die nor live in it (al-Qur'an, xx. 47; lxxxvii. 13). But the people whom the Fire would afflict (temporarily) on account of their sins, or so said (the narrator)" on account of their misdeeds," He would cause them to die till they would be turned into charcoal. Then they would be granted intercession and would be brought in groups and would be spread on the rivers of Paradise and then it would be said: O inhabitants of Paradise, pour water over them; then they would sprout forth like the sprouting of seed in the silt carried by flood. A man among the people said: (It appears) as if the Messenger of Allah lived in the steppe.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi #2328Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:

"There shall come upon the people a time in which the one who is patient upon his religion will be like the one holding onto a burning ember."

Sahih Muslim #6533Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying:Sahih

Anyone amongst the Muslims, three of whose children die, and he resigns himself calmly to the will of God, Fire will not touch him but for the fulfilment of the oath.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi #2156Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet(S.A.W) visited a man who was ill, so he said:Da'if

"Cheer up, for indeed Allah said: 'It is My Fire which I impose upon My sinning slave as his portion of the Fire." (Hasan) Al-Hasan said: "They would hope that the fever that occurred at night would atone for any deficiency caused by sins."

Sunan Abu Dawud #4596Narrated AbuHurayrah:Sahih

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: No recompense may be demanded if the fire spreads.
