Book 57, Number 57.1.1:
Malik related to me from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra
that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, "The fire of the children of Adam which they kindle is a seventieth
part of the fire of Jahannam." They said, "Messenger of Allah, this
fire is certainly enough." He said, "That fire is sixty-nine times greater."
Book 57, Number 57.1.2:
Malik related to me from his paternal uncle Abu Suhayl ibn Malik from
his father that Abu Hurayra said, "Do you think that it is red like
this fire of yours? It is blacker than tar."
