The Book of Asceticism · Hadith 257 (#Ḥadīth #2)

فضالة بن أيوب عن عمر بن ابان عن أديم أخي أيوب عن حمران قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: انهم يقولون: لا تعجبون من قوم يزعمون أن الله يخرج قوما من النار فيجعلهم من أصحاب الجنة مع أوليائه؟ فقال: أما يقرؤن قول الله تبارك وتعالى: (ومن دونهما جنتان) انها جنة دون جنة ونار دون نار انهم لا يساكنون أولياء الله وقال: (ان بينهما والله منزلة (منزلتين) ولكن لا أستطيع أن أتكلم ان أمرهم لا ضيق من الحلقة ان القائم لو قام بدأ بهؤلاء.

2.Faḍālah ibn Ayyūb narrated from ʿUmar ibn Abān, from Udaym the brother of Ayyūb, from Ḥumrān who said, “I said to Abā ʿAbdillāh , ‘They say: do not be impressed by the group which claims that Allah will remove some people from the Fire and place them among the inhabitants of Paradise with His friends.’ So he said, ‘Do they not read the verse in which Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: There are two other Gardens below these two (Q55:62)? It refers to a paradise besides Paradise and a fire besides the Fire. They will not dwell with the friends of Allah [but rather, in another paradise].’ And he said, ‘There is, by Allah, a level [or two levels] between them, but I cannot talk about it [here]. Their matter is more constricted than a [tight] noose. Indeed, were the Riser to rise, he would start with these people.’”
