A prophet says Hell is dark black!


They said:
One of the myths told by the Prophet of Islam is: Hell is black not red, for this they refer to what is narrated by Al Tirmthy in his Sunan number 2516:
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Prophet (s.a.w) said:
"The Fire was kindled for one thousand years until it reddened, then it was kindled for one thousand years until it whitened, then it was kindled for one thousand years until it became blackened, so it is dark black." (Da'if)
Swaid said to us that Abdulla Bn Mubarak narrated from Sharik from Assim from Abi Salih or another man from Hurairah this hadith and he did not considered it to be as statement of Prophet, Abu Esa said:
As for the tradition narrated by Abu Hurairah what is correct is that it is Mawquf (not connected to the Prophet.) I do not know if anybody narrated it except for Yahya Bn Abi Bukair from Sharik.

Refuting this slander:

First:
The hadith (is seen as fabricated) is not from prophet’s (Allah’s peace and blessing be upon him) statements, the hadith is weak and falsely attributed to the Prophet (Allah’s peace and blessing be upon him), some eminent Islamic experts have clarified this as:

1-Imam Al Tirmthy (May Allah have mercy upon him), clarified this at the end of the hadith, it is apparent that they turned blind eyes on what he says:
As for the tradition narrated by Abu Hurairah what is correct is that it is Mawquf (not connected to the Prophet.) I do not know if anybody narrated it except for Yahya Bn Abi Bukair from Sharik.




2- Al Shekh Al Albany (May Allah have mercy upon him) considered it as weak in the weak serial number 1305.

And depending on what mentioned before the claim they did is repealed and there is no reason to mock the issue.




Second:
If we suppose the hadith is right does anything prevent them from believing it?!
Have the objectors seen Hell? And did they see its colour and size…?
Is the colour of Hell described in the Bible?

The answer:
No, but there are texts say: it is a lake of fire and brimstone, and this is stated in the book of Apocalypse (Revelation of Christ to John) chapter 20 number 10:
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.


So, they should not object invisible divine concerned issues they have not seen, and it is not mentioned in their in addition we definitely believe that the hadith is not true at all…
