Heavenly Jewels

When the kufaar become weary of the punishment, they will discuss with one another and . agree to summon Maalik (upon whom be peace), who is the gate keeper of Hell. They will say, 'Please end our lives' Maalik (upon whom be peace) will not reply to them for one thousand years. After a thousand years he will say, 'Do not call to me. Call out to Him, Whom you have disobeyed.' They will then call out to Allah (The Exalted) with his merciful names for a thousand years. Allah (The Exalted) will not reply to them for a thousand years. After this time, He will say, "Be off. Remain in Hell and do not call out to me." The Kufaar will become disillusioned and will scream and wail like donkeys. They will cry so bitterly that deep scars will form on their faces. They will cry blood and matter instead of tears.

The form of the people from hells will be that which has been explained above. Finally the kufaar will be placed into caskets of fire equivalent to their heights. A lock of fire will be placed onto this casket and this casket will be placed into another casket of fire with fire between it and a lock on it. These will then be p·,aeed into a third casket and then thrown into the depths of Hell. The person in each casket will think that he is the only one left in hell.
