Thinking about death

Beginning of Creation

Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 3260

رَبِّهَا، فَقَالَتْ رَبِّ أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا، فَأَذِنَ لَهَا بِنَفَسَيْنِ نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ، فَأَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ فِي الْحَرِّ، وَأَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الزَّمْهَرِيرِ

rabbihā, faqālat rabbi akala baʿḍī baʿḍan, fa-adhina lahā binafasayni nafasin fī ash-shitāʾi wanafasin fī aṣ-ṣayfi, fa-ashaddu mā tajidūna fī al-ḥarri, wa-ashaddu mā tajidūna mina az-zamharīri

The full narration

Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The (Hell) Fire complained to its Lord saying, 'O my Lord! My different parts eat up each other.' So, He allowed it to take two breaths, one in the winter and the other in summer, and this is the reason for the severe heat and the bitter cold you find (in weather)
