“Seventy years before it reached the bottom”

“Seventy years before it reached the bottom”

Abu Umamah heard the Prophet say:

لو أخذ سبع خلفات بشحومهن فألقين من شفير جهنم ما انتهين إلى آخرها سبعين عاما

“If there was a huge stone as big as seven khalifaat stones, and it was thrown from the edge of Hell it would fly through it for seventy years before it reached the bottom”.

["Sahih al-Jaami Al-Saghir", 5124].
