18435 - Abu Sa'id narrated to us, al-Muharibi narrated to us, Layth narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Tharwan, from Huzayl, from 'Abd Allah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The souls of the martyrs are in the bellies of green birds that roam in Paradise wherever they wish. And the souls of the children of the believers are in the bellies of birds that roam in Paradise wherever they wish, then they take shelter in lamps hanging from the Throne.
And the souls of the family of Pharaoh are in the bellies of black birds that go out to Hell and return to it [in the morning and evening], and that is their being presented [before the fire].

He said: We asked: O Messenger of Allah, what is the reward of the disbeliever? He replied: "If he maintained ties of kinship, gave charity, or performed a good deed, Allah rewards him with wealth, children, health, and similar things." We asked: Then what is his reward in the Hereafter? He replied: "A punishment less than the [severest] punishment." And he recited: "Admit the family of Pharaoh into the severest punishment."
