The Mutual Conversation and Accusation Among the People of Hell:
This presents a conversation at the time when the people of Hell are being admitted into Hell. The first group will be the leaders, chiefs, and guides. The angels will bring them to the edge of Hell. Then, after them, a great multitude of their followers will be brought. As soon as the leaders see this great multitude, they will say: "Here is another group eagerly advancing to enter Hell." "May Allah's curse and wrath be upon them—where have they come from?" When the latter group hears this from the former, they will say: "May Allah's curse and wrath be upon you! You were our leaders and the cause of our coming here into Hell. And now you are the ones cursing and condemning us."
