[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, the distance between each heaven and the one after it is a journey of five hundred years. The highest of them is upon the back of a whale, and the two ends meet in the sky. The whale rests on a rock, and the rock is held by an angel. The second heaven is controlled by the wind spirits. When Allah wanted to destroy 'Ad, He commanded the keeper of the wind to send a wind that would annihilate them. The keeper said, 'O Lord, should I send upon them a wind like the breath of a camel?' The Almighty and Exalted One said, 'Then it would suffice for the earth and all upon it. But send upon them a wind like that from the tip of a finger, for that is what Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said in His Mighty Book: 'No thing does it take if it comes upon it, but it makes it like scattered dust.' (Quran 51:42) The third heaven contains the stones of Hell, the fourth contains the sulfur of Hell. They asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, is there sulfur in Hell?' He said, 'Yes, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, there are valleys of sulfur in Hell. If mountains with peaks were thrown into them, they would immediately be set on fire.' The fifth contains the snakes of Hell. Their mouths are like valleys that bite the disbelievers with a bite that leaves no flesh on bone. The sixth contains the scorpions of Hell. Even the lowest sting of one of them is like a heavily loaded camel, which strikes the disbeliever with a blow that makes them forget every other blow they have experienced. The blow is as hot as the fire of Hell. The seventh contains Saqar (a level in Hell) and in it is Iblis, shackled with chains of iron. He has a hand in front of him and a hand behind him. When Allah intends to release him for whatever He wills among His servants, He releases him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْأَرَضِينَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ أَرْضٍ إِلَى الَّتِي تَلِيهَا مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسُمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ فَالْعُلْيَا مِنْهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ حُوتٍ قَدِ التَّقَى طَرَفَاهُمَا فِي سَمَاءٍ وَالْحُوتُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ وَالصَّخْرَةُ بِيَدِ مَلَكٍ وَالثَّانِيَةُ مُسَخَّرُ الرِّيحِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ عَادًا أَمَرَ خَازِنَ الرِّيحِ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًا تُهْلِكُ عَادًا قَالَ يَا رَبِّ أُرْسِلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الرِّيحَ قَدْرَ مِنْخَرِ الثَّوْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْجَبَّارُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِذًا تَكْفِي الْأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَلَكِنْ أَرْسِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِقَدْرِ خَاتَمٍ وَهِيَ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ فِي كِتَابِهِ الْعَزِيزِ {مَا تَذَرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَالرَّمِيمِ} [الذاريات 42] وَالثَّالِثَةُ فِيهَا حِجَارَةُ جَهَنَّمَ وَالرَّابِعَةُ فِيهَا كِبْرِيتُ جَهَنَّمَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلِلنَّارِ كِبْرِيتٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ فِيهَا لَأَوْدِيَةٌ مِنْ كِبْرِيتٍ لَوْ أُرْسِلَ فِيهَا الْجِبَالُ الرُّوَاسِي لَمَاعَتْ وَالْخَامِسَةُ فِيهَا حَيَّاتُ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّ أَفْوَاهَهَا كَالْأَوْدِيَةِ تَلْسَعُ الْكَافِرَ اللَّسْعَةَ فَلَا يَبْقَى مِنْهُ لَحْمٌ عَلَى عَظْمٍ وَالسَّادِسَةُ فِيهَا عَقَارِبُ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى عَقْرَبَةٍ مِنْهَا كَالْبِغَالِ الْمُؤَكَّفَةِ تَضْرِبُ الْكَافِرَ ضَرْبَةً تُنْسِيهِ ضَرْبَتُهَا حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ وَالسَّابِعَةُ سَقَرُ وَفِيهَا إِبْلِيسُ مُصَفَّدٌ بِالْحَدِيدِ يَدٌ أَمَامَهُ وَيَدٌ خَلْفَهُ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُطْلِقَهُ لِمَا يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ أَطْلَقَهُ»
