Attribute of those who will come out of Hellfire by intercession

 The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam described the condition of some of the believers in the Oneness of Allah when they come out of the hellfire by the Prophet´s intercession after they have undergone their prescribed punishment. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said:

´´They will come out of Hell by intercession as if they are Sha´aareer.´

´Ash-Sha´aareer´ is the plural for small cucumbers or a plant similar to it but longer. It means that when they are engulfed in the Fire of Hell, their bodies, shapes and sizes will change due to the intensity of what they were subjected to and they will become like shrivelled cucumbers.

The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam explained that the people of tawheed will exit from the Fire even if they had been punished therein. He said:

´´Some people will come out of the Fire after they have recived a touch of the Fire, which will change their colour, and they will enter Paradise, and the people of Paradise will name them ´Al-Jahannamiyin´ the (Hell) Fire people.´´25

This intercession for other than the mushrikeen to be redeemed from Hellfire after being cleansed from their sins is not specific to the Prophet and his Ummah; rather, it is generally applicable to believers of all nations. All messengers, prophets, righteous people and others as Allah wills will have their share in this intercession. However, the share of Prophet Muhammad salla alayhi wa sallam will be greater.

Salvation

 None will be saved on the Day of Resurrection except he who used to worship alah alone with Whom there is no associate. As for the other gods, they will lead their adherents into the Fire.

Voluntary Fasting

 Fasting is one of the major acts of worship with which Allah redeems the fasting person from the Fire. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Fasting is a shield against the Fire (of Hell) just like the shield one of you would use during fighting.´´80 The supererogatory fasting has its virtue. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who observes fast for a day in the path of Allah, He will remove his face from the Hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years.´ distance.´´81 The phrase ´in the path of Allah´ could either mean fasting a day sincerely, intending the pleasure of Allah; or fasting in the course of a military expedition in the path of Allah.

Backbiter and Tale-Bearer

 A backbiter is the individual who indugles in backiting which involves mentioning about your brother that which he would detest. The tale-bearer is the person who varries bad tale among the people in order to cause disaffection among them. These sins cause pervading tribulations, and enormous corruption also stems from them. Their perpetrators are among the worst of people and due to their capricious tongue, they speak as dictated by their whims and desires.  Their situation at the time of resurrection will be appalling as the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned, Whoever eats the flesh of his brother in the world (i.e. bacjbites), he will be presented to him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to him, Eat his dead as you have eaten him alive. He would eat him and he would scowl and scream.
