In one Ḥadīth, the Prophet صَلَّى ٱللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلَّمَ stated:
“There are two types of people from the dwellers of
Hell that I have not yet seen: Men with whips
like the tails of cattle with which they strike the people…*
The renowned scholar, Shaykh Muḥammad b. Ṣāliḥ ‘Uthaymīn
(d. 1421/2001) commented on this Ḥadīth saying:
“[These are] the oppressive police officers who beat
the people without justification. They are from the dwellers of Hell because whoever
aids an oppressor shall receive a portion of their sin that he deserves.”*
