A tradition relates that on Doomsday some people will arise from their graves in such condition that fire shall be raging in their mouths. Someone asked: “O Apostle of God who might these people be ?’’ In reply to this question, the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) recited this verse: ‘‘Those who consume the riches of the orphans (they fill their bellies with Fire).” On the night of his visit to heaven, the illustrious Prophet (peace be upon him) beheld a people whose lips were as big as the lips of a camel. The angels had overpowered: these people and the angels were cutting open the lips of these people and thrusting stones of fire into their mouths and the fire after entering the mouth was coming out from their anuses and _ those people were crying loudly and bitterly. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked Gabriel - “Who are these people ?” To this, Gabriel replied: ‘These are the people who consumed the riches of the orphans. They are being fed with fire.”
There is a tradition of the Holy Prophet that four are the types of persons whom God Almighty shall not send into Paradise, nor will such people ever taste the delights of Paradise. Firstly, a person who drinks liquor. Secondly, a person. who lives on usury. Thirdly, a person who unjustly takes the goods belonging to orphans. Fourthly, a person who commits unfilial acts.
