حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرُّزِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَائٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلْ امْتَلَأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ فَأَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَزَالُ جَهَنَّمُ يُلْقَی فِيهَا وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ حَتَّی يَضَعَ رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ فِيهَا قَدَمَهُ فَيَنْزَوِي بَعْضُهَا إِلَی بَعْضٍ وَتَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ بِعِزَّتِکَ وَکَرَمِکَ وَلَا يَزَالُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَضْلٌ حَتَّی يُنْشِئَ اللَّهُ لَهَا خَلْقًا فَيُسْکِنَهُمْ فَضْلَ الْجَنَّةِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7179
Abd al-Wahhab b. Ata' reported in connection with the words of Allah, the Exalted and the Glorious: We would say to Hell on the Day of Ressurection: Have you been completely filled up? and it would say: Is there anything -more? And he stated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: (The sinners) would be thrown therein and it would continue to say: Is there anything more, until Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, would keep His foot there- in and some of its part would draw close to the other and it would say: Enough, enough, by Thy Honour and by Thy Dignity, and there would be enough space in Paradise until Allah would create a new creation and He would make them accommo- date that spare place in Paradise.
