The Consequences of Suicide

SUMMARY: Killing oneself is a major sin and will result in eternal punishment in the Fire of Jahannam.

Abu Hurairah narrated (that the the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)) said: "Whoever kills himself with (an instrument of)iron, his iron will be in his hand, to continually stab himself in his stomach with it, in the fire of Jahannam, dwelling in that state eternally. And whoever kills himself with poison, then his poison will be in his hand, to continually take it in the Fire of Jahannam, dwelling in that state eternally. And whoever throws himself from a mountain to kill himself, then he will be continually throwing himself in the Fire of Jahannam, dwelling in that state eternally". Another chain reports a similar narration.
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قال حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِحَدِيدَةٍ فَحَدِيدَتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ يَتَوَجَّأُ بِهَا فِي بَطْنِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا وَمَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِسُمٍّ فَسُمُّهُ فِي يَدِهِ يَتَحَسَّاهُ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا وَمَنْ تَرَدَّى مِنْ جَبَلٍ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَهُوَ يَتَرَدَّى فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، قال حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ مِنَ الْحَدِيثِ الأَوَّلِ ‏.‏ هَكَذَا رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلاَنَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِسُمٍّ عُذِّبَ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا ‏.‏ وَهَكَذَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ لأَنَّ الرِّوَايَاتِ إِنَّمَا تَجِيءُ بِأَنَّ أَهْلَ التَّوْحِيدِ يُعَذَّبُونَ فِي النَّارِ ثُمَّ يُخْرَجُونَ مِنْهَا وَلَمْ يُذْكَرْ أَنَّهُمْ يُخَلَّدُونَ فِيهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us against committing suicide, which is a major sin according to Islam. It tells us that if someone kills themselves with an instrument such as iron or poison, they will be punished eternally in the Fire of Jahannam. They will have to continually stab themselves with the instrument they used or take their poison over and over again for eternity. Similarly, if someone throws themselves from a mountain to kill themselves, they will be thrown into the fire continuously for eternity. This hadith serves as a reminder that Allah has given us life and it is not our right to take it away from ourselves; only He can decide when we should die. We must remember that Allah knows best and He has promised rewards for those who are patient during difficult times instead of taking their own lives out of despair or anger.
