• Hellfire is surrounded by lusts, and Paradise is surrounded by adversities
• Among them are those whom the fire will reach up to their ankles, others up to their knees, others up to their waists, and others up to their collarbones
• There are two types of the dwellers of Hellfire whom I have not seen: people with whips like the tails of cows with which they beat people, and women who will be dressed yet naked, inviting to evil, and they themselves are inclined to it
• Oxus, Jaxartes, Euphrates, and the Nile are all from the rivers of Paradise
