باب جَهَنَّمَ أَعَاذَنَا اللهُ مِنْهَاChapter: Description of Hell (May Allah Protect Us from It)
Hadith 2845
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ قَتَادَةُ : سَمِعْتَ أَبَا نَضْرَةَ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ النَّارُ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ إِلَى حُجْزَتِهِ ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ " .
ahadeeth bin Jundub reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) (may peace -be upon him) as saying: There will be some to whose ankels the fire will reach, some to whose knees, some to whose waist the fire will reach, and some to whose collar-bone the fire will reach.

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا نَضْرَةَ ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ النَّارُ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ النَّارُ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ النَّارُ إِلَى حُجْزَتِهِ ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَأْخُذُهُ النَّارُ إِلَى تَرْقُوَتِهِ " ،

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: In Hell, not all people will be in the same rank or in the same condition. Rather, according to the nature of their sins and crimes, there will be an increase or decrease in their punishment. The Fire will seize people from their ankles up to their necks in accordance with their crimes.
