The Depth and Heat of Hell

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the extreme heat and depth of Hell, and how one should remember it to stay away from sin.

Al-Hasan said: "While he was on the pulpit – the pulpit of Al-Basrah – 'Utbah bin Ghazwain narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Indeed a giant rock can be thrown from the brink of Hell and it will continue to fall into it for seventy years without reaching the bottom of it"..He said: "'Umar used to say:'Increase in your remembrance of the Fire, for its heat is extreme, its bottom is distant, and its whips are of Iron'." (Sahih)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجُعْفِيُّ، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ قَالَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِنَا هَذَا مِنْبَرِ الْبَصْرَةِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الصَّخْرَةَ الْعَظِيمَةَ لَتُلْقَى مِنْ شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتَهْوِي فِيهَا سَبْعِينَ عَامًا وَمَا تُفْضِي إِلَى قَرَارِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ يَقُولُ أَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ النَّارِ فَإِنَّ حَرَّهَا شَدِيدٌ وَإِنَّ قَعْرَهَا بَعِيدٌ وَإِنَّ مَقَامِعَهَا حَدِيدٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى لاَ نَعْرِفُ لِلْحَسَنِ سَمَاعًا مِنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ وَإِنَّمَا قَدِمَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ غَزْوَانَ الْبَصْرَةَ فِي زَمَنِ عُمَرَ وَوُلِدَ الْحَسَنُ لِسَنَتَيْنِ بَقِيَتَا مِنْ خِلاَفَةِ عُمَرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the depths and heat of Hell. It was narrated by Al-Hasan that while he was on the pulpit in Al-Basrah, 'Utbah bin Ghazwain said that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that a giant rock can be thrown from the brink of Hell and it will continue to fall into it for seventy years without reaching the bottom. Umar ibn al-Khattab used to say that one should increase their remembrance of Fire as its heat is extreme, its bottom is distant, and its whips are made out of iron. This hadith serves as a reminder for us to stay away from sinning as we know how severe punishment awaits us if we do not repent for our sins. We must remember this warning so we can lead a life full of righteousness instead.
