It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "When Allah Almighty gathers the people on a single plain on the Day of Resurrection, the fire of Hell will come forward with one part of it climbing over another, while its guardian angels hold it back. The Fire will say: 'Wa izzati rabbi la-tukhallinna bayni wa bayna azwaji aw la-aghshayanna al-nasa unuqan wahidan' (By the might of my Lord, you will get out from between me and my partners (the people assigned to me), or else I will engulf all the people at once). The angels will ask: 'Who are those partners of yours?' It will reply: 'Every extremely arrogant tyrant and oppressor.' Then the Fire will put out its tongue and pick them out one by one from among the people and hurl them into itself; then it will draw back. After that it will come again, surging in the same way, its flames riding one on top of another, while the angels restrain it, and it will call out again: 'Wa izzati rabbi la-tukhallinna bayni wa bayna azwaji aw la-aghshayanna al-nasa unuqan wahidan' (By the might of my Lord, get out from between me and my partners, or else I will cover the whole of creation in one go). The angels will ask: 'Who are your partners?' It will say: 'Everyone who was self-admiring, swaggering and boastful.' So it will snatch them with its tongue and throw them into the depths of its belly; then it will draw back, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will judge between the servants."
Imam Abu Ya'la narrated this hadith in his Musnad (hadith number: 4559). Its chain is of the hasan (good) grade; Muhammad bin Ishaq has explicitly stated that he heard it directly (tahdith), which removes the concern of tadlis (concealment), and the other narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
