Sunan Ibn Majah 4318 (Book 37, Hadith 219) #33674
The Fire We Use and Its Connection to Hell

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that the fire we use in our daily lives is only a fraction of the heat of Hell, and it is reduced by water so that we can benefit from it.

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah said: "This fire of yours is one-seventieth part of the fire of Hell. Were it not that its heat has been reduced by water twice, you would not have been able to benefit from it. And it is praying to Allah, asking Allah not to return it (to its original level of heat)".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَيَعْلَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ نُفَيْعٍ أَبِي دَاوُدَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ نَارَكُمْ هَذِهِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّهَا أُطْفِئَتْ بِالْمَاءِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَا انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لاَ يُعِيدَهَا فِيهَا

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us an important lesson about the fire we use in our daily lives.

Furthermore, he said that even this small amount of fire is praying to Allah, asking Him not to return it to its original level of heat. This hadith teaches us about the power and mercy of Allah; He has given us something as powerful as fire but has made sure that its intensity does not harm us. It also reminds us to be grateful for all His blessings and mercies on us.
