Sahih Muslim 2848a (Book 53, Hadith 46) #14230
The Filling of Hell

SUMMARY: Hell will continue to be filled with sinners until Allah places His foot in it and says enough.

Anas b. Malik reported that Allah's Apostle said that the Hell would continue to say: Is there anything more, until Allah, the Exalted and High, would place His foot therein and that would say: Enough, enough, by Your Honour, and some parts of it would draw close to the other.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَزَالُ جَهَنَّمُ تَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ ‏.‏ حَتَّى يَضَعَ فِيهَا رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَدَمَهُ فَتَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ وَعِزَّتِكَ ‏.‏ وَيُزْوَى بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the filling of hell with sinners, or people who have committed sins. It is reported by Anas b. Malik that the Prophet Muhammad said that hell will continue to fill up with sinners until Allah, the most exalted and high, places his foot in it and says "enough". This means that no matter how many people are sent to hell, it will never be full until God himself decides when it is full. This hadith serves as a reminder for us all to strive for righteousness so we can avoid being sent to hell on judgement day.
