"Every one has to pass over Hell"

وَإِن مِّنكُمۡ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا‌ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ حَتۡمً۬ا مَّقۡضِيًّ۬ا . ثُمَّ نُنَجِّى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَواْ وَّنَذَرُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ فِيہَا جِثِيًّ۬ا

There is not one of you but will pass over it (Hell); this is with your Lord; a Decree which must be accomplished
Then We shall save those who use to fear Allah and were dutiful to Him. And We shall leave the Zalimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers) therein (humbled) to their knees (in Hell).

(Qur'an 19:71-72)


The Prophet S.A.W.S. said:
"The bridge over Hell is like the sharp edge of a sword. The first group to cross it will pass like a flash of lightning. The second group will pass like the wind. The third group will pass like the fastest horse. The fourth group will pass like the fastest cow. Then, the rest will pass while the angels will be saying, `O Allah save them, save them.'"

(Sahih Bukhari)


Tafsir Ibn Kathir:
When all of the creatures passed over the Hellfire, and those disbelievers and the disobedient people who are destined to fall into it because of their disobedience, Allah will save the believers and the righteous people from it because of their deeds. Therefore, their passing over the bridge and their speed will be based upon their deeds that they did in this life.
