a severe punishment for zina in al-Barzakh, before the punishment in the Hereafter. In the famous hadeeth of Samurah ibn Jundub (may Allaah be pleased with him) about the dream, it says: "... then we [i.e., the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and Jibreel and Mikaa'eel] proceeded and came to something like a tannoor (a kind of oven), in which there were clamouring voices." He [the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] said: "We looked into it and there we saw naked men and women. Flames were coming to them from the bottom of it, and when the flames reached them, they made uproar. I said to them [i.e., the two angels who were accompanying him], 'Who are these?' ... They said, 'We will tell you. As for the naked men and women in the structure that resembled a tannoor oven, they are the adulterers and adulteresses.'" Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6640).)******************************** all the observations that Propeht Peace Be Upon Him observed on "SHAB E MAIRAJ" .. was not observed in state of dream, but in actual.. for if it was dream, ALLAH SWT had explained it in the Qur'an Pak. while in Quran it's mentioned that He (PBUH) observed it awakened state, and not in dream.
