Abu Sumaynah relates: We differed among ourselves concerning the "wurud" (the arrival). Some of us said that a believer will not enter Hell, and some said that all (disbelievers and believers) will enter it, and then Allah Almighty will rescue those who were God-fearing. The narrator says: I met Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "We have differed among ourselves about this. Some of us say: 'A believer will not enter it,' and some of us say: 'All (disbelievers and believers) will enter it.'" Then Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) moved two of his fingers towards his two ears and said: "May these both become deaf if I did not hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'Wurud means entering. Every righteous and every sinful person will enter it, but it will be coolness and safety for the people of faith, just as it was (coolness and safety) for Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him), so much so that, because of their (the believers') coolness, the Fire (the narrator is unsure, or perhaps the words are:) Hell will give out a roar. Then Allah Almighty will rescue those who were God-fearing and leave the wrongdoers.'" (Allamah al-Haythami said:) I say: A hadith of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) is mentioned in the "Sahih", which is mawquf (stopping at the Companion) and is other than this narration.
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
