Is it true that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, will take hold of the reins of Hellfire on the Day of Resurrection after it breaks free from the angels and command it to return to its place until its people come to it, whereupon it will say: "Leave my path, for you are forbidden to me," and God will say to it: "Listen to the words of My beloved and obey him"?
We have not come across any authentic hadith indicating that the Fire escapes from thethan angels. Rather, this was narrated from Zayd ibn Aslam with a chain of transmission that is not sound, and Abu Hamid mentioned it without a chain of transmission, so it holds no weight.
