The Severity of Hell's Punishment

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the punishment of Hell and how it is severe.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were in the company of Messenger of Allah when we heard a bang. Thereupon Messenger of Allah said".Do you know what this (sound) is?" We said, "Allah and His Messenger know better". He said, "That is a stone which was thrown into Hell seventy years before and it has just reached its bottom". Muslim.
وعنه قال‏:‏ كنا مع رسول الله، إذا سمع وجبة فقال‏:‏ ‏"‏هل تدرون ما هذا‏؟‏‏"‏ قلنا‏:‏ الله ورسوله أعلم‏.‏ قال‏:‏ هذا حجر رمى به في النار منذ سبعين خريفاً فهو يهوي في النار الآن حتى انتهي إلى قعره، فسمعتم وجبتها‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was with his companions when they heard a loud bang. He asked them if they knew what it was and they said that Allah and His Messenger know better. He then informed them that it was a stone which had been thrown into Hell seventy years before and had just reached its bottom. This shows us how severe the punishment of Hell is, as even after seventy years, the stone has only just reached its bottom. It also serves as a reminder to us to stay away from sins so we can avoid such punishments in the hereafter.
