HELL IS BROUGHT ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT AND ITS NECK PROTRUDES AND THEN IT SPEAKS
Allah, Almighty said:
“No! When the earth has been leveled—pounded and crushed, and your Lord has come and the Angels, rank upon rank, and brought [within view], that Day, is Hell—that Day, man will remember, but what good to him will be the remembrance? He will say, ‘Oh, I wish I had sent ahead [some good] for my life. ‘“ (Al-Fajr (89): 21-24)
Allah also said:
“But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity—The Daywhen man will remember that for which he strove, and Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see.” (Al-Nazi’at (79): 34-36)
Al- Rabi Ibn Anas said in regards to the verse,
“and Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see”
That, ‘Its cover will be removed.’
Allah, Almighty said:
“No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty… You will surely see the Hellfire.Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty. “ (Al-Takathur (102): 5-7)
Al-Ala’ Ibn Khalid Al-Kahili reports from Abu Wa’il, from Ibn Mas’ud (radiyAllahu ‘anhu), that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Hell will be brought on that Day [of Resurrection] with seventy thousand bridles; and with every bridle will be seventy thousand Angels, pulling it.” This was stated by Muslim, (Muslim, #2842) through Hafs Ibn Ghaiyath, from Al-Ala’. It was also stated byTirmidhi through Sufyan, from Al-Ala’, attributed to Ibn Mas’ud (radiyAllahu ‘anhu). Al- ‘Uqayli and Al-Darqutni consider it more likely to be attributed to Ibn Mas’ud (radiyAllahu ‘anhu).
Ibn Abi Hatim stated through ‘Ubayd-Allah Ibn Al-Walid Al-Wasafi, from ‘Atiyyah, that Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) said: “When this verse,
“and brought [within view], that Day, is Hell. “ (Al-Fajr (89): 23)
The colour of the Prophet’s (pbuh) face changed, and it was apparent in his face. This distressed his Companions,so they asked him, and he said: “Jibril (alayhis-salam) came to me and gave me this verse.” It was asked, ‘How is it (i.e. Hell) brought?’ He said: “Seventy thousand Angels will be pulling it; it goes astray once, and if it was left, it would burn the people congregated on the plains and everything above it. The Hell-fire is then exposed, and it says, “…for you, O Muhammad (pbuh), Allah has made your flesh forbidden for me. There’s none remaining except saying, ‘Myself, myself, and Muhammad (pbuh) says, ‘My Ummah (nation), my Ummah.’” Al-Wasafi is a righteous man with poor memorisation, thus, many munkar hadiths are narrated from him.
Abi Ya’la Al-Mawsali stated from Abu’l Haytham,from Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (radiyAllahu ‘anhu), that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “When Allah gathers all people in one plain on the Day of Judgment, the Fire is brought—parts of it are piling over other parts—and its Angels are holding it back, while it exclaims,‘By the might of my Lord, you shall not stand between me and my spouses or I shall overwhelm people with a single embrace.’ They ask, ‘Who are your spouses?’ It replies, ‘Every arrogant tyrant. ‘” (Al-Majma’, 10/292)
Imam Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi (Ahmad, 2/292, TirmidhI, #2577 and al-Albani said its isnad is sahlh see Ahadith al-Sahihah, #512) stated from Al-A’mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah (radiyAllahu ‘anhu), that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Some of the Fire (in the shape of a long neck) will come out of the Fire on the Day of Judgment. It will have two eyes that can see, two ears that can hear, and a tongue that can speak. It will say, ‘I have been left in charge of three: Every obstinate oppressor, everyone who called upon a deity besides Allah, and the makers of sculpture.’” This is deemed as authentic by Tirmidhi. Some said:‘ It was not preserved through this chain of narrators, rather it was narrated by Al-A’mash, from ‘Atiyyah, from Abu Sa’id (radiyAllahu ‘anhu).’
For it was narrated from Al-A’mash and others, from ‘Atiyyah, from Abu Sa’id (radiyAllahu ‘anhu), that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Some of the Fire (in the shape of a long neck) will come out of the Fire and say,‘I have been left in charge of three: Every obstinate oppressor, everyone who called upon a deity besides Allah, and whoever killed a soul unless for a soul.’ Thereupon, it will embrace them and throw them into the wrenches of Hell-fire.” This was stated by Imam Ahmad. (Ahmad, 3/40 and its chain is weak)
Al-Bazzar stated similarly, with the wording, “Some of the Fire [in the shape of a long neck] will come out of the Fire and speak with an unfettered eloquent tongue.It will have two eyes that can see, and a tongue that can speak. It will say, ‘I have been left in charge of everyone who called upon a deity besides Allah, every obstinate oppressor and whoever killed a soul unless for a soul.’It takes them away five hundred years before the rest of the people.” It was also narrated by ‘Atiyyah and attributed to Abu Sa’id rather than the Prophet (pbuh).
Ibn Luhay’ah narrated from Khalid Ibn Abu ‘Imran, from Al-Qasim, from A’ishah (radiyAllahu ‘anha) that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Some of the Fire [in the shape of a long neck] will come out of the Fire, embracing and raging upon them. This neck-shaped object will say,‘I have been left in charge of three. I have been left in charge of three. I have been left in charge of three:Everyone who called upon a deity besides Allah, everyone who did not believe in the Day of Judgment, and every obstinate oppressor.’ Thereupon, it will embrace them and throw them in the wrenches of Hell-fire.” Stated by Imam Ahmad. (Ahmad, 6/110 and its chain is weak)
It was stated from Shahr Ibn Hawshab, that Ibn ‘Abbas (radi Allahu ‘anhuma) said: ‘On the Day of Judgment,some of the Fire in the shape of a long neck will come out and look upon the creatures. It will have eyes that can see and an eloquent tongue. It will say, ‘I have been left in charge of every obstinate oppressor,’ thereupon it will pick them out from amidst the rows and confine them in Hell-fire.Then it will come out again and say, ‘I have been left in charge of those who abuse Allah and His Messenger,’ thereupon it will pick them out from amidst the rows and confine them in Hell-fire. Then it will come out again and say, ‘I have been left in charge of those who made sculptures,’ thereupon it will pick them out from amidst the rows and confine them in Hell-fire.’
In the lengthy hadith of sculptures stated by Ishaq Ibn Rahawiya, Abi Ya’la and others, through a chain of narration that contain weak narrators, from Abu Hurayrah (radiyAllahu ‘anhu), that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “…Then Allah Commands Hell-fire, and some of the Fire in the shape of a long, dark neck will come out and He will say,
‘But stand apart today, you criminals’,
until the verse,
‘…so did you not use reason?”’ (Yasin (36): 59-62)
Ibn Abu Dunya stated through Al-Sha’bi that Abu Hurayrah (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) said: ‘Hell-fire is brought being pulled by seventy thousand bridles; each bridle is pulled by seventy thousand Angels. It resists them until it stops on the right side of the throne. Allah throws shame upon it on that Day, and reveals to it, ‘What is this shame?’ Hell-fire says, ‘O myLord! I fear Your resentment for me.’ Allah reveals to it, ‘I created you as resentment [for others], but I have no resentment for you.’ Thereupon, Allah reveals to it, and it exhales an exhalation that leaves no tear in an eye except it is dried; then it exhales another exhalation that leaves no Angel nor a Messenger or Prophet except they are shocked—except your Prophet (pbuh)—the Prophet of mercy (pbuh). He will [be concerned for his people and] say, “My Lord! My Ummah! My Ummah! “
‘Abdullah, the son of Imam Ahmad, narrated [through a chain of narrators] from Abu ‘Abdullah Al-Jadali, that ‘Ubadah Ibn Al-Samit (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) and Ka‘b (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) said: ‘Some of the Fire (in the shape of a long neck) will come out of the Fire and pronounce, ‘I have been left in charge of three: ever person who called upon a deity besides Allah, every obstinate oppressor and every aggressor. Verily, I know the man better than a parent knows his child and better than the child knows his parent.”
