Sahih al-Bukhari 431 (Book 8, Hadith 81) #425
The Prophet's Vision of the Hellfire

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) saw the Hellfire and was greatly disturbed by what he saw.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas: The sun eclipsed and Allah's Messenger offered the eclipse prayer and said, "I have been shown the Hellfire (now) and I never saw a worse and horrible sight than the sight I have seen today".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ انْخَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أُرِيتُ النَّارَ، فَلَمْ أَرَ مَنْظَرًا كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ أَفْظَعَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith is about a time when the sun eclipsed and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) offered a special prayer known as salat al-qamariyya. During this prayer, he was shown a vision of the Hellfire and said that he had never seen anything worse than what he saw. This shows us how terrible and frightening it must be to experience such an event. It also teaches us that we should always strive to do good deeds in order to avoid going there in the afterlife. We should also remember that Allah is All-Knowing and All-Seeing so He knows our every action and will judge us accordingly on Judgment Day.
