Worldly Fire compared to the Fire of
Hell
Abu Hurairah narrated
that the Prophet said: “This fire of yours which burns the son of Adam (in
this world) is one seventieth of the heat of the Hell. They said: “We swear by
Allah, our fire is quite enough.” The Prophet said: “It is sixty nine times more
and each part of it is like the heat of your fire.”1
‘Adl ibn Hatim related:
The Messenger of Allah said: “Allah, Exalted is He, shall speak to every one
of you without [the need for] an interpreter. When you look to your right side
you will find only deeds you have done [in this worldly life]. When you look to
left side you will only find the deeds you have done [in this worldly life].
When you look in front of you there will be Hell so save yourself from Hell-fire
even by giving half a date-fruit in charity.”2
