Abu Huraira reported:
We were in the company of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that we heard a terrible sound. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Do you know what (sound) is this? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Thereupon he said: That is a stone which was thrown seventy years before in Hell and it has'been constantly slipping down and now it has reached its base.
Samura b. Jundub reported Allah's Apostle (may peace -be upon him) as saying:
There will be some to whose ankels the fire will reach, some to whose knees, some to whose waist the fire will reach, and some to whose collar-bone the fire will reach.
Samura b. Jundub reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
There would be among them those to whom the fire will reach up to their ankels and to some of them the fire would reach their knees and to some it would reach their waists and to some it would reach up to their collar-bones.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as say- ing:
There was a dispute between the Hell and the Paradise and it (the Hell) said: The haughty and the proud would find abode in me. And the Paradise said: The meek and the humble would find their abode in me. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, (addressing the Hell) said: You are (the means) of My punishment by which I punish those of My servants whom I wish. (And addressing the Paradise) He said: You are only My Mercy by means of which 1 shall show mercy to those whom I wish, but each one of you would be full.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as say- ing:
The Hell and the Paradise fell into dispute and the Hell said: I have been dis- tinguished by the proud and the haughty. And the Paradise said: What is the matter with me that the meek and the humble amongst people and the downtrodden and the simple enter me? Thereupon Allah said to the Paradise: You are (the means) of My Mercy whereby I show mercy to those of My servants whom 1 wish, and He said to the Hell: You are (the means) of punishment whereby 1 punish those of My servants whoml wish. Both of you will be full. The Hell will riot be filled up until Allah puts down His foot in it. The Hell would say: Enough, enough, enough, and at that time it will be filled up, all its parts integrated together.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
The Paradise and the Hell disputed with each other. The rest of the hadith is the same.
Hammam b. Munabbih reported that Abu Huraira narrated to them some ahadith of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and one of them is this that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
The Paradise and the Hell fell into dispute and the Hell said: 1 have been distinguished for accommodating (the haughty and proud in me), and the Paradise said: What is the matter that the meek and the humble and the downtrodden and simple would find an abode in me? Thereupon Allah said to Paradise: You are a (means) of My Mercy. 1 shall show mercy through you to one whom I will from amongst My servants. And lie said to the Hell: You are a (sign) of My chastisement and I shall chastise through you anyone whom I will from amongst My servants and both of you, would be full. And as regards the Hell it would not be full until Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, places His foot therein, and it would say: Enough, enough, enough, and it would be then full and the one part would draw very close to the other one and Allah would not treat unjustly anyone amongst His creation and He would create another creation for the Paradise (to accommodate it).
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
The Paradise and the Hell disputed with each other. The rest of the hadith is the same as transmitted by Abu Huraira up to the words'. It is essential for Me to fill up both of you.
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.

Anas reported Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
There would be left some space in Paradise as Allah would like that to be left. Then Allah would create another creation as He would like.
Abu Sa'id reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
Death would be brought on the Day of Resurrection. in the form of a white-coloured ram. Abu Kuraib made this addition: Then it would be made to stand between the Paradise and the Hell. So far as the rest of the hadith is concerned there is perfect agreement (between the two narrators) and it would be said to the inmates of Paradise: Do you recognise this? They would raise up their necks and look towards it and say: Yes, ' it is death. Then it would be said to the inmates of Hell-Fire.. Do you recognise this? And they would raise up their necks and look and say: Yes, it is death. Then command would be given for slaughtering that and then it would be said: 0 inmates of Paradise,, there is an everlasting life for you and no death. And then (addressing) to the inmates of the Hell-Fire, it would be said: 0 inmates of Hell-Fire, there is an everlasting living for you and no death. Allah's Messenger (may peace be u@on him) then recited this verse pointing with his hand to this (material) world: Warn them, this Day of dismay, and when their affairs would be decided and they would be un- mindful and they believe not (xix. 39).
Abu Sa'id reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
When the inmates of Paradise would be admitted to Paradise and the inmates of Hell would be admitted to Hell, it would be said (to the inmates of Paradise): 0 inmates of Paradise. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this variation (that he only) said. That is the word of Allah, the Exalted. And he did not say: Then Allah's Mes- senger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) recited, and he did not make a mention of his having pointed with his hand towards the (material) world.
Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
Allah would admit the inmates of Paradise into Paradise and the inmates of Hell into Hell. Then the announcer would stand between them and say: 0 inmates of Paradise, there is no death for you,0 inmates of Hell, there is no death for you. You would live for ever therein.
`Umar b. Muhammad b. Zaid b. `Abdullah b. `Umar b. al-Khattab reported on the authority of his father `Abdullah b. `Umar that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
When the inmates of Paradise would go to Paradise and the inmates of Hell would go to Hell, death would be called and it would be placed between the Paradise and the Hell and then slaughtered and then the announcer would announce: O inmates of Paradise, no death. O inmates of Hell-Fire, no death. And it would increase the delight of the inmates of Paradise and it would increase the grief of the inmates of Hell-Fire.

Abu Huraira reported directly from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) that he said:
The distance of the two shoulders of the non-believer in Hell will be a three-day journey for a swift rider.
Haritha b. Wahb reported that he heard Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
May I not inform you about the inmates of Paradise? They said: Do this, of course. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Every humble person who is considered to be humble if he were to adjure In the name of Allah, He would fulfil it. He then said: May I not inform you about the denizens of Hell-Fire? They said: Yes. And he said: Every haughty, fat and proud (person).
Haritha b. Wahb al-KhuzaIi reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
May I not inform you about the inmates of Paradise? (And then informing about them) said: Every meek person who is considered to be humble and if they were to adjure in the name of Allah, Allah would certainly fulfil it. May I not inform you about the inmates of Hell-Fire? They are all proud, mean and haughty.

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as say- ing:
I saw 'Amr b. Luhayy b. Qam'a b. Khindif, brother of Bani Ka'b, dragging his Intestines in Fire.
Sa'id b. Musayyib explained al-bahira as that animal which is not milked but for the idols. and none amongst the people milks them, and as-sa'iba as that animal which is let loose for the deities. Nothing is loaded over it, and Ibn Musayyib narrated that Abu Huraira stated that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
I saw 'Amr b. 'Amir al-Khuzili dragging his intestines in fire and he was the first who devoted animals to deity.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
Two are the types amongst the denizens of Hell, the one possessing whips like the tail of an ox and they flog people with their help. (The second one) the women who would be naked in spite of their being dressed, who are seduced (to wrong paths) and seduce others with their hair high like humps. These women would not get into Paradise and they would not perceive the odour of Paradise, although its frag- rance can be perceived from such and such distance (from great distance).
