Muwatta Malik: Chapter 57

كتاب جهنم

Jahannam

Muwatta 57.1
Malik related to me from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu
Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "The fire of the children of Adam which they kindle is a
seventieth part of the fire of Jahannam." They said, "Messenger of
Allah, this fire is certainly enough." He said, "That fire is sixty-
nine times greater."

حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ نَارُ بَنِي آدَمَ الَّتِي يُوقِدُونَ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَافِيَةً ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهَا فُضِّلَتْ عَلَيْهَا بِتِسْعَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ جُزْءًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Muwatta 57.2
Malik related to me from his paternal uncle Abu Suhayl ibn Malik
from his father that Abu Hurayra said, "Do you think that it is red
like this fire of yours? It is blacker than tar."

وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي سُهَيْلِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتُرَوْنَهَا حَمْرَاءَ كَنَارِكُمْ هَذِهِ لَهِيَ أَسْوَدُ مِنَ الْقَارِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَالْقَارُ الزِّفْتُ ‏.‏
