English translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“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.”
