All about the Hell Fire - Jahannam
The Effects upon the Present World

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:

"The Hellfire complained to its Lord, saying, 'O my Lord, my different parts eat each other up.' So Allah allowed it to take two breaths - one in the winter and the other in the summer.

This is [the cause pf] the severe heat and the bitter cold you experience.'"

[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Ibn Umar (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: "Fever is from the breath of the Hellfire; so cool it with water."

[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Abu Dharr (radiAllahu anhu) narrated: "While the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) was on a journey, he said [regarding the performance of the thuhr prayer], 'Wait until it gets cooler.'

He said the same thing again until the shade of the hillocks extended, and then he said, 'Delay the [thuhr] prayer until it gets cooler, for the severity of heat is from the breath of Hell.'"

(thuhr period is just before 'Asr)

[Sahih al-Bukhari]

The Great number of inhabitants

"And most of the people are not believers even though you take great care in this respect."

[Yusuf, 12: 103]

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated: "The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, 'The first man to be called on the Day of Resurrection will be Adam, who will be shown his descendants. And it will be said to them,

"This is your father, Adam." Adam will say, [responding to the call], "Labbayk wa sa'dayk." Then Allah will say [to Adam], "Bring forth from your descendants the delegations of the Fire." He will say, "O Lord, how many should I bring?"

Allah will answer, "From every hundred, ninety-nine.'"

The companions said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if ninety-nine out of every one hundred of us are brought forth , then what will remain of us?'

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) stated, 'My nation among other nations is like a white hair on a black bull.'"

[Sahih al-Bukhari]

The Size of its inhabitants

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:

"The molar tooth of an unbeliever or the canine tooth of an unbeliever will be like [Mount] Uhud, and the thickness of his skin will be like a three night's journey."

[Muslim]

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:

"The distance between the two shoulders of the non-believer in Hell will be like a three day's journey for a swift rider."

[Muslim]

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:

"Indeed, the thickness of the disbeliever's skin will be the length of forty-two forearms of those of giants, his molar tooth like [Mount] Uhud, and his seat in Hellfire [the distance] between Makkah and Madinah."

[at-Tirmidhi and al-Hakim]
