I saw a group of people in which fire was being poured into their mouths and it was coming out of their rear‑ends.
I requested an explanation on who they are. Jibra'il replied, "These were people who took the property of the orphans unlawfully."
Then I saw another group of people whose stomachs were so large that they could not even get up.
I asked a question regarding these people and the answer I was given was that they were people who used to take interest, were deceived by the Devil and followed the ways of the People of Fira'un. Every morning and evening, fire is given to them. They say, "O' Allah! When will the Day of Judgement take place so that we will have some respite from this life, which is taking away our strength?"
