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."
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."
