| The severity of its heat, and their variation in it:
An-Nu`man ibn Bashir, radhiallahu `anhu, narrated that he heard the Prophet,(pbuh) say: The least torture in the Hell on the Day of Judgment is that of a man
whose foot sole is laid on a live coal which causes his brain to boil just like a
boiler. [Bukhari and Muslim]
Muslim narrated in his Sahih:
He does not think that any other person is tortured
more severely than him although he is in the least torture. [Muslim]
Abu Huraira, radhiallahu `anhu, narrated:
"This fire of yours which burns the son of Adam (in
this world) is the seventieth part of the heat of the Hell. They say: We swear by
Allah, our fire is quite enough. The Prophet said: It is sixty nine times more
and each part of it is like the heat of your fire.'" [Muslim]
Samura narrated that he heard the Prophet, (pbuh), said:
"Fire holds some to their ankle bones, some to their
knees, some to their waists, and some up to their collarbones." [Muslim]
This Hadith is a statement for the variation in degrees in
the punishment of those in the Hell. We seek protection of Allah from it and from anything
that leads to it whether word or deed. |
