It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Once the fire of Hell complained to its Lord, saying, "One part of me has consumed another part." Allah granted it permission to breathe twice a year. Because of this, the extreme cold is due to the coldness (zamharir) of Hell, and the most intense heat is also the effect of the heat of Hell.
