Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "People will be thrown into Hell, and Hell will say: 'Are there any more?' until the Lord places His foot upon it, then it will say: 'Enough, enough.'"

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) This is one of those narrations in which the example of proximity is applied, and its form is this: On the Day of Resurrection, some people and places will be thrown into Hell—the places where Allah Almighty was disobeyed. Hell will continue to demand more, until the Lord places one of the disbelievers or one of the places into Hell, then it will be filled. Then Hell will say: 'Enough, enough.' What is meant by this is: 'This is sufficient for me, this is sufficient for me.' The reason for this is: The Arabs sometimes use the word 'foot' in their language to mean 'place,' as in the statement of Allah Almighty: 'For them will be a place of truth with their Lord.' What is meant by this is a place of truth; it does not mean that Allah Almighty will place His foot in Hell. Our Lord is exalted and far above this and similar things.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Allah Almighty will say to His servant on the Day of Resurrection: O son of Adam! I was ill, but you did not visit Me. The servant will say: O my Lord! How could I visit You, when You are the Lord of all the worlds? Allah Almighty will say: Did you not know that My such-and-such servant was ill, and you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him, you would have found its reward with Me? Allah Almighty will say: O son of Adam! I asked you for water to drink, but you did not give Me water. The servant will say: O my Lord! How could I give You water to drink, when You are the Lord of all the worlds? Allah Almighty will say: Did you not know that if you had given water to that person, you would have found (its reward) with Me? O son of Adam! I asked you for food, but you did not give Me food. The servant will say: O my Lord! How could I feed You, when You are the Lord of all the worlds? Allah Almighty will say: Did you not know that My such-and-such servant asked you for food, but you did not give him food? If you had given him food, you would have found (its reward) with Me."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Abu al-Qasim (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whenever a servant gives charity from lawful earnings—indeed, Allah Almighty accepts only what is lawful, and only what is lawful ascends towards the sky—then it happens that the Lord takes that charity in His hand, and then He begins to nurture it, just as a person raises and nurtures the offspring of his animal, until that morsel or that date, when they come on the Day of Resurrection, will be like a great mountain."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Exactly as if he placed it in the hand of the Most Merciful." This clarifies for you that in these narrations, the words of example are used; it is not intended that the reality of it exists or that its nature is known, because the addressee can only understand these things through the words to which their application is made.
