Different Levels of Punishment in Hellfire

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the different levels of punishment in Hellfire.

Samura b. Jundub reported Allah's Apostle (may peace -be upon him) as saying: There will be some to whose ankles the fire will reach, some to whose knees, some to whose waist the fire will reach, and some to whose collar-bone the fire will reach.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا نَضْرَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ النَّارُ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ إِلَى حُجْزَتِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the different levels of punishment that will be given to people in the hereafter. It is reported by Samura b. Jundub that Allah's Apostle said, “There will be some to whose ankles the fire will reach, some to whose knees, some to whose waist the fire will reach, and some to whose collar-bone the fire will reach”. This means that there are various degrees of punishment for those who have committed sins and wrongdoings on earth and they shall receive their due punishments accordingly in hellfire. It is a reminder for us all that we should strive hard to do good deeds so as not to face such severe punishments on Judgment Day.
