Another Chain With Another Wording

Abu Hurairah 2s reported that the Messenger of Allah # said, “This Fire is one of one hundred parts from the Fire of Hell.” (Ahmad) The chain of this narration fulfills the conditions of Muslim, but in its wording there is Gharaabah, for most narrations from Abu Hurairah 4 mention “one of seventy parts.” The hadith has been related with that same wording by someone else — by way of ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood +,

‘Abdullah .t: reported that the Messenger of Allah #¢ said, “The good dream is a glad tiding, and it is one of seventy parts of Prophethood. And this fire of yours is ww of seventy parts frum the poisons of the Hellfire. And as long as the slave (of Allah) is waiting for the prayer, he is in (the state of) Prayer, so long as he does not do Hadath (something t “5 out of the state of purity, such as passing wind).” Al-L.. .. ar related it and said, “It has been related Mawgoofan (a saying, nui of the Prophet #%, but of a Companion) by way of Abu Sa’eed #),”

Abu Hurairha 2s related that the Messenger of Allah #8 said, “Do you know what the example of this fire of yours is compared to the Fire of Hell? It has 70 times more smoke than the smoke of this fire of yours.” Al-Haafiz Ad-Diyaa said, “Ibn Mus’ab related it from Maalik, who deemed it to be Mmwqoof (not a saying of the Prophet # but of a Companion). With me, it fulfills the conditions of As-Sahech.

The Hellfire Was Ignited For 3000 Years Until It Became Black And Dark

The Heat Of The Hellfire Never Goes Out And One Does Nat Warm Oneself By Its Flame (i.c., One Does Not Find Comfort From It, As Opposed To The Fire Of This World: If One Is Not Touching Fire On A Cold Day, But Is Near It, One Finds Comfort And Warmth From It)

Salmaan 4 related that the Messenger of Allah #% said, “The heat of the Hellfire does not go out, nor is warmness (the comforting kind) achieved by its flame.” He # then recited:

Then the Messenger of Allah #% said, “Perhaps my intercession will benefit him on the Day of Resurrection, so that he is placed in a shallow (part of the Hellfire), where (the Fire) will reach his ankles, and from that his brain will boil.” (Bukhaaree) In the narration of Muslim, Abu Sa’eed reported that the Messenger of Allah # said, “The dweller of the Hellfire who will be punished the least is he who will wear shoes of Fire: his brain will boil from the heat of his shoes.”

Abu Sa’ced xeported that the Messenger of Allah 2g said, “The least punished of the dwellers of Hell is he who has two shoes on his feet: his brain will boil from them.” Ahmad related this narration, and then he mentioned the completion of the hadith. An-No’maan 4 related that he heard the Prophet #% say, “Indeed, the east punished from the dwellers of Hell on the Day of Resurrection is a man, for whom live coals are placed under his feet: from them his brain will boil.” (Bukhaaree) Muslim related it from the hadith of Sho’bah.

An-No’maan ibn Basheer related that he heard the Prophet #% say, “On the Day of Resurrection, the least punished of the dwellers of Hell is a man, for whom two live coals are placed on the soles of his feet.
