إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجْرِمًۭا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ ٧٤
Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.

The Magicians admonish Fir`awn The clear intent of this is to be a completion of what the magicians admonished Fir`awn with. They warned him of the vengeance of Allah and His eternal and everlasting punishment. They also encouraged him to seek Allah's eternal and endless reward.They said,إِنَّهُ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُ مُجْرِمًاVerily, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal,This means, whoever meets Allah on the Day of Judgment while being a criminal.فَإِنَّ لَهُ جَهَنَّمَ لَاإ يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَاإ يَحْيىthen surely, for him is Hell, wherein he will neither die nor live.This is similar to Allah's statement,لَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُواْ وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ مِّنْ عَذَابِهَا كَذَلِكَ نَجْزِى كُلَّ كَفُورٍNeither will it have a complete killing effect on them so that they die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them. Thus do We requite every disbeliever! (35:36)Allah also said,وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الاٌّشْقَىالَّذِى يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَا But it will be avoided by the wretched, who will enter the great Fire. There he will neither die nor live. (87:11-13)وَنَادَوْاْ يمَـلِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مَّـكِثُونَAnd they will cry:"O Malik (Keeper of Hell)! Let your Lord made an end of us."He will say:"Verily, you shall abide forever." (43:77)Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal recorded that Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri said that the Messenger of Allah said,أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَوْنَ وَلكِنْ أُنَاسٌ تُصِيبُهُمُ النَّارُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ فَتُمِيتُهُمْ إِمَاتَةً حَتَّى إِذَا صَارُوافَحْمًا أُذِنَ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ ضَبَايِرَ ضَبَايِرَ فَبُثُّوا عَلَى أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيُقَالُ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَنْبُتُونَ نَبَاتَ الْحِبَّةِ تَكُونُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلThe dwellers of Hellfire, who are those who deserve it, they will not die in it, nor will they be living. Rather, they will be a people who will be punished by the Fire due to their sins. It will be gradually killing them and devouring them until they become burnt coals.Then, intercession will be allowed and they will be brought (out of Hell) group by group and they will be spread on the rivers of Paradise.It will then be said, "O people of Paradise, pour (water) over them."Then, they will start to grow like the growing of a seed on the muddy banks of a flowing river.A man among the people said, "It is as if the Messenger of Allah lived in the desert."This is how Muslim recorded this narration in his Sahih.Concerning Allah's statement
