57. Jahannam

【1】

Malik related to me from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from AbuHurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant himpeace, said, "The fire of the children of Adam which they kindle is aseventieth part of the fire of Jahannam." They said, "Messenger ofAllah, this fire is certainly enough." He said, "That fire is sixty-nine times greater." Malik related to me from his paternal uncle Abu Suhayl ibn Malikfrom his father that Abu Hurayra said, "Do you think that it is redlike this fire of yours? It is blacker than tar."
