Jami at-Tirmidhi 2589 (Book 39, Hadith 17) #28224
The Intensity of Hellfire

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) is teaching us that the fire we kindle on earth is only a fraction of the heat of Hell, and that it is much more intense than what we experience here on earth.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "This Fire of yours, which the sons of Adam kindle, is one part from seventy parts of the heat of the Hell". They said: "By Allah! Would it not have been enough O Messenger of Allah?!" He said: "It is sixty-nine parts more – all of them similar in heat". (Sahih)
حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ نَارُكُمْ هَذِهِ الَّتِي يُوقِدُ بَنُو آدَمَ جُزْءٌ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ جُزءًا مِنْ حَرِّ جَهَنَّمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَافِيَةً يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَإِنَّهَا فُضِّلَتْ بِتِسْعَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ جُزْءًا كُلُّهُنَّ مِثْلُ حَرِّهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَهَمَّامُ بْنُ مُنَبِّهٍ هُوَ أَخُو وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ وَهْبٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us about the intensity of hellfire. He explains that even though we may feel heat from a fire here on Earth, it is nothing compared to the intensity of hellfire which has seventy times more heat than what we experience here on Earth. This hadith serves as a reminder for us to stay away from sins and strive to do good deeds in order to avoid being punished in hellfire in the hereafter. We should also take this opportunity to reflect upon our actions and repent for any wrongdoings so that Allah will forgive us and grant us paradise instead.
