Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “On the Day of Resurrection, the arrogant will be resurrected in the form of small ants in the shape of human beings. Every small thing will be bigger than them (or will pass over them). Then they will be driven towards a prison in Hell called ‘Bawlas’. The fire of burning wood will overpower them, and they will be given to drink the ‘Tinat al-Khabal’, which is the extract (pus and blood, etc.) of the people of Hell.”

Benefit: In this hadith, the condemnation of arrogance is mentioned. Every person who rejects the truth and considers others insignificant is arrogant. For the arrogant, a prison has been prepared in Hell whose name is Bawlas. If Allah, Lord of all worlds, bestows His special mercy upon a person, then that person should become extremely humble and express gratitude for Allah’s blessings. However, it is unfortunate that after receiving Allah’s special favor, he turns to rebellion against Allah Himself. As a result, on the Day of Judgment, the arrogant will be given a body like that of an ant and will be thrown into Hell. May Allah protect us from arrogance. Ameen.
