عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضى الله عنه، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ، قَالَ: «نَارُكُمْ هَذِهِ الَّتِي يُوقِدُ ابْنُ آدَمَ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنْ حَرِّ جَهَنَّمَ» قَالُوا: وَاللهِ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَافِيَةً يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! قَالَ: «فَإِنَّهَا فُضِّلَتْ عَلَيْهَا بِتِسْعَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ جُزْءًا، كُلُّهَا مِثْلُ حَرِّهَا».

Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 

1. This fire of yours which a person lights up has the heat of one out of seventy portions of Hell’s heat.  2. People said: By God, it would have been sufficient [as it is], Messenger of God.  3. He said: It is made greater by sixty-nine portions, each is similar to it in heat.
