What are the impediments that prevent Allah from inspiring a servant that he is among the people of Hellfire, with evidence from the Quran and Sunnah, and what is your commentary on Ibn Sirin’s interpretation of the dream, "Whoever sees himself with a black face and blue eyes," which indicates the possibility of a servant knowing his destiny in Hellfire?

The questioner's assertion that he is destined for Hellfire is not based on any or rational evidence. Rather, it is a whisper from Satan, who seeks to grieve the believers. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, clarified that dreams are of three types: one of which is terrors from Satan, by which he saddens the son of Adam. Furthermore, Satan has a "touch" with the son of Adam, through which he threatens with evil and denies the truth. The servant should seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Satan when these whispers occur, and not despair of Allah's mercy.
