1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Yahya al-’Attar who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Ya’qub b. Yazid from Muhammad b. ’Amru from Salih b. Sa’eed from his father Sa’eed al-Halwani from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said
“What have you done to yourselves? What happened to you?” The person replied, “We were fine in the morning and reached Hawiya at night.” He was asked what Hawiya was. The person answered, “It is an ocean of fire having mountains of fire.” He was asked the reason for being sent to that place. He replied, “Because of the love of this world and worship of idols.” He was asked, “How much love did you have for this world?” The person replied, “We loved it as much as a child loves its mother. The child becomes happy when she comes and becomes sad when she goes away.” He was asked, “How much did you worship the devil?” He answered, “We used to obey whenever a command was given to us.” He was asked, “Why is it so that only you are replying and others are quiet?” He replied, “Because their mouths are filled with fire and angels appointed over them are torturing them severely. I used to live with them but did not act like them. The chastisement took me along with these people. Till now, I am hanging from a wire as thin as a hair. I fear that I will also fall in the fire of Hell.” Isa (a.s.) told his companions, “Sleeping on dry grass and eating barley bread is a way to save ourselves.”
