Hadith 13205

وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”اشْتَكَتِ النَّارُ إِلَى رَبِّهَا فَقَالَتْ رَبِّ أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا فَنَفِّسْنِي فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ بِنَفَسَيْنِ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ فَأَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْبَرْدِ مِنْ زَمْهَرِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ وَأَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ حَرِّ جَهَنَّمَ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Hell complained to its Lord, saying: O my Lord! Some parts of me are consuming other parts, so allow me to breathe. Allah Almighty allowed it to breathe twice every year: once in the winter and once in the summer. The intense cold you feel is from the severe cold of Hell, and the intense heat you feel is from the heat or steam of Hell.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From the apparent words of these ahadith, what is understood should be accepted as the truth: that the real cause of heat and cold is Hell, and its reality should be entrusted to that Being who knows the realities of His creation.

It is astonishing that the fire found in this world is only one seventieth part of the heat of the fire of Hell, yet when a person falls into it, he is consumed and perishes within two or three minutes. However, in the fire of Hell, a person will not perish. May Allah Ta'ala grant us His protection.
