Hadith 6558

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّارِ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ كَأَنَّهُمُ الثَّعَارِيرُ ، قُلْتُ : مَا الثَّعَارِيرُ ؟ قَالَ : الضَّغَابِيسُ ، وَكَانَ قَدْ سَقَطَ فَمُهُ " ، فَقُلْتُ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ : سَمِعْتَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " يَخْرُجُ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ مِنَ النَّارِ " ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ .
Narrated Hammad from `Amr from Jabir: The Prophet said, "Some people will come out of the Fire through intercession looking like The Thaarir." I asked `Amr, "What is the Thaarir?" He said, Ad Dagh`Abis, and at that time he was toothless. Hammad added: I said to `Amr bin Dinar, "O Abu Muhammad! Did you hear Jabir bin `Abdullah saying, 'I heard the Prophet saying: 'Some people will come out of the Fire through intercession?" He said, "Yes. "

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Dawood Raz
Hadith Commentary:
Some have said that "tharareer" is another type of vegetable which is white in color.
The meaning is that these people will first become blackened like coal by burning in Hellfire.
Then, when they are taken out of Hell due to intercession (shafa‘ah) and are bathed in the Water of Life (ma’ al-hayat), they will become white like tharareer.
This hadith refutes those who say that a believer will not enter Hell.
Likewise, it also refutes those who say that intercession (shafa‘ah) will be of no benefit, such as the saying of the Mu‘tazilah and the Khawarij.
Al-Bayhaqi narrated from Umar radi Allahu anhu that he delivered a sermon and said: In this ummah there will arise people who will deny stoning (rajm), will deny the Dajjal, will deny the punishment of the grave,
and will deny intercession (shafa‘ah).
In another hadith, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: My intercession will be for those among my ummah who are involved in major sins (kabirah).
O Allah, grant us the intercession of Muhammad and his family and all his companions. By Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful, Ameen.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Some people from among the believers, due to the consequences of their sins, will be burned and turned into charcoal. Then, when they are taken out through intercession and placed in the Water of Life, they will become white like small cucumbers, and life will be created in them anew.

(2)
This hadith refutes those who say that those who commit major sins (kabirah) will not enter Hell, and it also refutes those who hold the view that intercession (shafa‘ah) will be of no benefit, as is the belief of the Mu‘tazilah and the Khawarij. On one occasion, ‘Umar radi Allahu anhu said that there will arise in this ummah people who will deny stoning (rajm), the Dajjal, the punishment of the grave, and intercession (shafa‘ah).
