Then he clarified that they are differing in it; he said: "It has seven gates"; Al-Rummani said: They are layers; some above others; from Ali ibn Abi Talib - may Allah be pleased with him - and Al-Hasan; and Qatadah; and Ibn Jurayj - may Allah have mercy on them -; "For each gate of them"; meaning: the misguided specifically; no sincere person shares with them in it; "A divided part"; known to us from the beginning; for our estimation of it; it does not increase anything; nor decrease anything; so there is no action in it without the causation that we have shown; to connect the rulings to what your minds require; and the course of your customs; and from Ibn Jurayj that the highest is Hell; then Ladhah; then Al-Hutamah; then Al-Sa'ir; then Sakar; then Al-Jahim; then Al-Hawiyah; and in one version, Sakar precedes Ladhah; and from Al-Dahhak that the highest is for the people of Tawhid; then they will exit; and the second is for the Christians; and the third is for the Jews; and the fourth is for the Sabians; and the fifth is for the Magians; and the sixth is for the polytheists of the Arabs; and the seventh is for the hypocrites; and the reason for their escalation is the difference in types of disbelief in severity and lightness; "And your Lord does not do injustice to anyone" [Al-Kahf: 49]; as a mercy from Him - glorified and exalted is He -; and perhaps it was seven considering the categories of disbelievers; because they are either deniers; or affirmers; and the affirmers are either Jews; or Sabians; or Christians; or Magians; or idol worshippers; and all are either open disbelievers; or hypocrites; and since the hypocrite is not known outwardly from which one he is? He was counted as one category; and his matter was entrusted to the All-Knowing, the All-Aware; and since all were acting upon what Allah had not permitted; they were in the ruling of the deniers; for their description of Allah with other than His attributes; so the categories returned to six; and the sinners from every group were added to it; and the uppermost layer of the fire was made to correspond to the category of the hypocrites from every nation; for their deeds are the deeds of disbelievers; with faith; just as the deeds of the hypocrites are the deeds of the believers; with disbelief; so they were the most concealed of the disbelievers; thus they had the lowest degree in the fire; then I saw in "Rashf al-Nasa'ih al-Imaniyyah wa Kashf al-Fadhaih al-Yunaniyyah"; by the one who knows Allah (the Exalted) Shihab al-Din Umar ibn Muhammad al-Suhrawardi - may Allah have mercy on him - that they were made seven according to the seven organs; from the eye; and the ear; and the tongue; and the stomach; and the private parts; and the hand; and the foot; because they are the sources of sins; so their entrances were the seven gates - and this is taken from the book of "Al-Muhasabah"; from the book of revival by Imam Al-Ghazali - and since they are in themselves sources of good deeds; on the condition of intention; and the intention is from the actions of the heart; the organs increased one; so the gates of Paradise were made eight; this is the meaning of his saying; he said: And the actions of the hearts from the sins are not held accountable.
