حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ , وَإِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ , حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ , عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا , فأنهم لا يَمُوتُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَوْنَ , وَلَكِنْ نَاسٌ أَصَابَتْهُمْ نَارٌ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ أَوْ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ , فَأَمَاتَتْهُمْ إِمَاتَةً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا فَحْمًا , أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ , فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ ضَبَائِرَ ضَبَائِرَ , فَبُثُّوا عَلَى أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ , فَقِيلَ : يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ , أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَنْبُتُونَ نَبَاتَ الْحِبَّةِ , تَكُونُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ " , قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ : كَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ كَانَ فِي الْبَادِيَةِ .
´It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “As for the people of Hell, who are its people (i.e., its permanent residents), they will neither die nor live therein. But there are some people who will be punished with fire because of their sins, whom it will kill, then when they have become like coal, permission will be granted for intercession for them. They will be brought, group by group, and scattered on the banks of the rivers of Paradise. It will be said: ‘O people of Paradise, pour water on them.’ Then they will grow like seeds carried by a flood (i.e., quickly).” A man among the people said: It is as if the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has been in the desert.”

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Those people who will be taken out of Hell, the inhabitants of Paradise will refer to them with the title "Jahannami" (people of Hell), whereas with Allah, their name will be "those freed by Allah," as is mentioned in a hadith.
(Sahih Muslim, Al-Iman, Hadith: 454 (183)) (2)
The return of people to their original state has been likened to that seed which quickly sprouts in the debris and refuse of a flood.
When the inhabitants of Hell are placed in the Water of Life (Aab-e-Hayat), they will very quickly return to their original bodies.
Some scholars are of the opinion that the title "Jahannami" is not for their disgrace, but rather so that they may remember Allah's blessing and continue to express gratitude for it. However, Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah did not agree with this view; rather, he wrote that if this were the case, there would be no reason to remove this title.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
The meaning of the heart being weak and the breast being tender is that within their hearts there is fear (khawf), awe (khashyah), and humility (tawadu‘), and they possess the ability to be quickly affected by admonition and advice, and to accept what is correct.
They are free from the hardness and harshness of the heart, and their hearts are sound and pure.

Benefits and Issues:
(1)
Passing safely and swiftly over the Bridge of Sirat will depend on faith (iman) and righteous deeds (amal salih). The stronger the faith, the faster one will cross; and the greater the sins, the more the hooks and thorns on the Bridge of Sirat will wound the person. And for those concerning whom it is decreed, those hooks will drag them into Hell (Jahannam).
