Thinking about death

The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1403

رَبِّ أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا فَأْذَنْ لِي أَتَنَفَّسْ . فَأَذِنَ لَهَا بِنَفَسَيْنِ نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ فَمَا وَجَدْتُمْ مِنْ بَرْدٍ أَوْ زَمْهَرِيرٍ فَمِنْ نَفَسِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمَا وَجَدْتُمْ مِنْ حَرٍّ أَوْ حَرُورٍ فَمِنْ نَفَسِ جَهَنَّمَ

rabbi akala baʿḍī baʿḍan fa-dhan lī atanaffas . fa-adhina lahā binafasayni nafasin fī ash-shitāʾi wanafasin fī aṣ-ṣayfi famā wajadtum min bardin aw zamharīrin famin nafasi jahannama wamā wajadtum min ḥarrin aw ḥarūrin famin nafasi jahannama

The full narration

Abu Huraira reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:The Fire said to the Lord: O Lord! some parts of mine have consumed the others, so allow me to exhale (in order to find some relief from this congestion). It was granted permission to take two exhalations, one exhalation during the winter and the other exhalation during the summer So whatever you perceive in the form of intense cold or hurting cold is from the exhalation of Hell. And whatever you perceive in the form of extreme heat or intense beat is from the exhalation of Hell
