Chapter 19 | Traditions About Paradise and Hell

محمد بن أبي عمير عن ابن بكير عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن في جهنم لواد للمتكبرين يقال له: سقر شكى إلى الله (شدة حره) وسأله (ان يأذن له) ان يتنفس فأذن له فتنفس فاحرق جهنم.

14.Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿUmayr narrated from Ibn Bukayr, from Abū ʿAbdillāh who said, “Verily in Hell there is a valley for the arrogant ones which is called Saqar. It [once] complained to Allah about the intensity of its heat and asked Him to permit it to respire, so He permitted it and when it exhaled, it burnt [the entirety of] Hell.”
