“The Hell-Fire was kindled for one thousand years and turned white. Then it was kindled for another thousand years and it turned red. Then it was kindled for another thousand years and it turned black. So it is black like the darkest night.”  

ابن ماجة:٤٣٢٠حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أُوقِدَتِ النَّارُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَابْيَضَّتْ ثُمَّ أُوقِدَتْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَاحْمَرَّتْ ثُمَّ أُوقِدَتْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَاسْوَدَّتْ فَهِيَ سَوْدَاءُ كَاللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ

"أُوقِدَ على النَّارِ أَلْفُ سَنَة حتى احْمَرَّتْ، ثُمَّ أوقدَ عَليها أَلْفُ سَنَة حَتَّى ابيضّت، ثُمَّ أُوقِدَ عَلَيْهَا أَلْفُ سَنَةٍ حَتَّى اسْوَدَّتْ، فهى سَوْدَاءُ مُظلِمَةٌ كاللَّيْلِ المُظْلم".
