Description This book Hell is compiled by Ibn Abi ‘l-Dunya, a great authority on Ahadith. He has collected nearly two hundred and sixty two Ahadith describing Hell, the chastisement to its inmates, its mountains, valleys, weapons, animals, and food and drink. He has drawn a vivid picture of the plight and regret of the inmates through Ahadith and apt quotations from the Quran. Though Hell is a place no one would like to go to yet only the pious perform deeds that will save them from going there. This is why the Prophet in a Hadith narrated in this book says: Hell is created as a mercy, for Allah injects its fear in his creatures that they might refrain from bad deeds. Abu Bakr, ‘Abdullah bin Muhammad bin ‘Ubaid bin Sufyan bin Abu adDunya Al-Qurashi Al-Baghdadi, the freed slave of Banu Umaiya, was born in 208 H. He was a Muhaddith and truthful ‘Aalim. He wrote some books and educated more than one of the caliphs’ sons like Al-Mu’tadid. Ibn Abu Ad-Dunya died in Jumada Al-Ula, 281 H Author: Ibn Abu Ad-Dunya Weight: 220g
