 According to Muslim scholars, there are two major interpretations of the phrase “the divider of the Hell and the Heaven”:
-* '''First''', those who love Imam 'Ali (a) are indeed guided to the right path, and thus, they go to the Heaven, while his enemies are misguided, and hence, they go to the Hell.<ref>Ibn Abī l-Ḥadīd, ''Sharḥ Nahj al-balāgha'', vol. 19, p. 139; Māzandarānī, ''Sharḥ uṣūl kāfī'', vol. 11, p. 289, vol. 12, p. 172; Majlisī, ''Biḥār al-anwār'', vol. 39, p. 210; Ḥamūyī al-Juwaynī, ''Frāʾid al-samaṭayn'', vol. 1, p. 326.</ref> In reply to someone who denied the hadith of “I am the divider of the Hell,” [[Ahmad b. Hanbal]], a Sunni jurist (d. 241/855), adduced another hadith by the Prophet (s) concerning 'Ali (a): “No one loves you except a [[believer]], and no one takes you as an enemy except a [[hypocrite]],” and given that believers go to the Heaven and hypocrites go to the Hell, he infers that 'Ali is indeed the divider of the Hell.<ref>Ibn Abī Yaʿlī, ''Ṭabaqāt al-ḥanābila'', vol. 1, p. 320.</ref>

 * '''Second''', Imam 'Ali (a) is literally a divider of the Heaven and the Hell on the [[day of resurrection]]; that is, he says who would go to the Heaven and who would go to the Hell.<ref>Ibn Abī l-Ḥadīd, ''Sharḥ Nahj al-balāgha'', vol. 19, p. 139;  Ibn Maghāzīlī, ''Manāqib ʿAlī b.
