What is the refutation to the specious argument concerning the varying times of hellfire's scorching based on the different times of Dhuhr (noon prayer) around the world, and the specious argument regarding the falsehood of Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas in the story of his staying overnight with the man from the people of Paradise, which enemies of the Sunnah raise to impugn the justice of the Companions?
The hadith is authentic and must be believed. A Muslim should remember Hellfire and distance himself from the causes that lead to it. What is established in the texts of revelation does not contradict sound reason. The majority of scholars view the prohibition of performing voluntary prayers at noon. The stoking of Hell is not limited to midday; rather, it is stoked at other times, such as dawn, and Malik, the keeper of Hell, feeds it. Hellfire is beneath the earth, as indicated by the hadith of the stone that was thrown into Hell, and there is a possibility that the earth is affected by the heat of Hell during its rotation. The justice of the Companions is agreed upon, and the words of Abdullah ibn Amr are to be understood as metaphorical, not untruthful. Debating with disbelievers requires religious knowledge to convince them of the religion, and whoever does not possess this knowledge should not debate with them.
