Is there a description in the noble Prophetic Hadith of either Paradise or Hell with the phrase: "Its scent captivated me, and its intensity burned me"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Hadith mentioned in the question was narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, and it is part of the story of the last man to leave Hellfire and enter Paradise.

His statement: "Its scent has poisoned me" (قَدْ قَشَبَنِي رِيحُهَا) means it has poisoned me, harmed me, and destroyed me. It is also said to mean it has changed my skin and appearance. This refers to the scent of the Fire.

His statement: "And its blaze has burned me" (وَأَحْرَقَنِي ذَكَاؤُهَا) refers to its flame, its intensity, and the severity of its heat.
