What is the meaning of the Prophet's (PBUH) saying: "And the people of Hellfire are five: the weak who have no deterrent, those among you who are followers, seeking neither family nor wealth"? And why did this type deserve to enter Hellfire? And does it include those who embraced Islam and fit these descriptions? And will their monotheism intercede for them?
Scholars have interpreted the : "The weak one is he who has no zubr" with two interpretations: First, he is one who has no intellect to restrain him from what is improper. Second, he is one who has no strength or eagerness for what benefits him in the afterlife, being idle and lazy. Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned that if a servant is an ascetic and idle, he becomes corrupted with the greatest corruption. Whereas Ibn Rajab opines that this type is the worst of categories, because he has no ambition in this world or the hereafter; rather, his concern is the lust of his stomach and private parts. These descriptions apply to the Muslim who is characterized by them. As for intercession, it is established among the people of that the texts of warning are qualified, and the warning may be averted by repentance, forgiveness, or intercession.
