The latter said to him: “O Jibra’il! Describe the Hell-fire and its heat to me.” He replied: “Allah SWT created the Hell-fire and kindled it for 1000 years until it became red. He then kindled it for another 1000 years until it turned white. He then kindled it for another 1000 years until it turned black. And so it is pitch black. I take an oath by that being (Allah) who sent you with the truth that if a garment of the inmates of Hell were to appear before the inhabitants of this world, they would all die together. If a bucket of its drink were to be poured on all waters of the world, whoever drinks it will be killed. If one arm’s length of its chain which Allah SWT mentioned in the Qur’an “in a chain whose length is 70 arms length” (Surah al-Haqqah, V.32) – the extent of one arm length is between east and west – were to be placed on the mountains of this world, they would all melt. If a person is put into the Hell-fire and is then removed, the people of this world will all die on account of the offensive odour that he will emit.”

The Messenger of Allah S.A.W. then asked Jibra’il: “Describe to me the gates of Hell. Are they like these gates of ours?” He then replied: “No. Instead, they have levels some of which are lower than others. The distance between one gate and the next is a journey of 70 years. Each door is 70 times hotter than the one next to it. “He also asked him about the inhabitants of these gates. He replied: “As for the lowest level, in it are the hypocrites. The name of this level is al-hawiyah. Allah SWT says: “The hypocrites are in the lowest level of the fire.” (Surah an-Nisa’, V145). In the second level are the polytheists. The name of this level is al-jahim. In the third level are the Sabeans. The name of this level is saqar. In the fourth level is Satan -curse be on him- and the Mageans who followed him. The name of this level is laza. In the fifth level are the Jews. The name of this level is al-hutamah. In the sixth level are the Christians. The name of this level is as-sa’ir.” Jibra’il then remained silent. So the Messenger of Allah said to him: “You did not inform me about the inmates of the seventh level.” Jibra’il replied: “O Muhammad! Do not ask me about them.” He said: “You must certainly inform me.” Jibra’il said: “In this (seventh) level are those from your ummah who committed major sins and passed away without having repented.”

This is fabricated.

It is stated in a tradition that Jibra’il came to the Messenger of Allah.
