4292. It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "This nation has been granted mercy (in the Hereafter) and its torment (in this world) is at the hands of one another. When the Day of Resurrection comes, each Muslim man will be given a man from among the idolaters and it will be said: "This is your ransom from the Fire." (Da'if)
4292 - حَدَّثَنَا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ الْمُغَلِّسِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ مَرْحُومَةٌ، عَذَابُهَا بِأَيْدِيهَا، فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ، دُفِعَ إِلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَيُقَالُ: هَذَا فِدَاؤُكَ مِنَ النَّارِ "

[1] Those who enter Hell will do so because they deserve to, but their numbers will serve as a ransom for the others.
In both places, in Paradise and in Hell, a house is prepared for everyone. On the Day of Judgment, non-believers will get their places which are in Hell; and their houses which are in Paradise are granted to those who enter Paradise. Similarly, the houses of believers which are in Hell will be granted to non-believers, and those believers will enter Paradise. This is the procedure of ransom that is mentioned in the Hadith.
