Sahih Muslim 213b (Book 1, Hadith 423) #7688
The Least Suffering in Hell

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the least suffering of the inhabitants of Hell, which is having two shoes and two laces of fire on one's feet that boil their brain like a cooking vessel.

Nu'man b. Bashir reported: The Messenger of Allah said: Verily the least suffering for the inhabitants of Fire would be for him who would have two shoes and two laces of Fire (on his feet), and with these would boil his brain as boils the cooking vessel, and he would think that he would not see anyone in a more grievous torment than him, whereas he would be in the least torment.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ أَهْوَنَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا مَنْ لَهُ نَعْلاَنِ وَشِرَاكَانِ مِنْ نَارٍ يَغْلِي مِنْهُمَا دِمَاغُهُ كَمَا يَغْلِي الْمِرْجَلُ مَا يَرَى أَنَّ أَحَدًا أَشَدُّ مِنْهُ عَذَابًا وَإِنَّهُ لأَهْوَنُهُمْ عَذَابًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith talks about the least suffering for those who are in Hell. According to this hadith, it would be having two shoes and two laces made out of fire on one's feet that would boil their brain like a cooking vessel or pot. This means that even though they are in the least amount of torment, they will still feel immense pain and suffering due to the heat from these items burning them. It also implies that there are other people who have it worse than them, making them think they have it bad but not as bad as others do. This teaches us to be grateful for what we have and not take anything for granted because there could always be someone else with more difficulties than us.
