حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِیرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ یَقُولُ إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَاباً یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ لَسَبْعَهُ نَفَرٍ أَوَّلُهُمُ ابْنُ آدَمَ الَّذِی قَتَلَ أَخَاهُ وَ نُمْرُودُ الَّذِی حَاجَّ إِبْراهِیمَ فِی رَبِّهِ وَ اثْنَانِ فِی بَنِی إِسْرَائِیلَ هَوَّدَا قَوْمَهُمَا وَ نَصَّرَاهُمَا- وَ فِرْعَوْنُ الَّذِی قَالَ أَنَا رَبُّکُمُ الْأَعْلی وَ اثْنَانِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّهِ أَحَدُهُمَا شَرُّهُمَا فِی تَابُوتٍ مِنْ قَوَارِیرَ تَحْتَ الْفَلَقِ فِی بِحَارٍ مِنْ نَارٍ.

1. It is narrated that Imam Ja’far Sadiq said, “The severest punishment will befall seven persons (in all). The son of Prophet Adam who murdered his brother, Nimrod who fought with Prophet Ibrahim regarding the Lord, the two persons of Bani Israel who made their communities Jew and Christian, Firon who claimed divinity and two persons of this Ummah, out of which one is worse than the other. These people will be kept inside a casket of glass in the river of fire below Hell.”
