The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the people of A'raf, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They are those who were killed in the way of Allah, but were prevented from entering Paradise because of their disobedience to their fathers, and were prevented from entering Hell because they were killed in the way of Allah.

Hadith Gradingمحدثین:الحديث سنده ضعيف جدًّ لجهالة ابن عبد الرحمن المزني، وجهالة حال الراوي عنه يحيى بن شبل، وضعف أبي معشر واضطرابه في سنده كما سيأتي، وقد توبع وخولف في سنده كما سيأتي، ولكنه ضعيف جدًّا أيضًا.
