Sahih Muslim 2844a (Book 53, Hadith 36) #14220
The Sound of a Stone in Hell

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the sound of a stone that was thrown into Hell seventy years ago and has now reached its base.

Abu Huraira reported: We were in the company of Allah's Messenger that we heard a terrible sound. Thereupon Allah's Apostle 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.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي، حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِذْ سَمِعَ وَجْبَةً فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏"‏ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ هَذَا حَجَرٌ رُمِيَ بِهِ فِي النَّارِ مُنْذُ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا فَهُوَ يَهْوِي فِي النَّارِ الآنَ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى قَعْرِهَا

The hadith also mentions that there was a sound heard from hell which was caused by a stone being thrown in seventy years ago and reaching its base. This shows us how powerful Allah's punishment can be and how long it can last for even after many years have passed. We should take this as an example to remind ourselves to stay away from sins so we don't end up facing such punishments in the hereafter.
