4319. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The Fire complained to its Lord and said: 'O Lord, parts of me have consumed other parts.' So He gave it two occasions to exhale, one in winter and one in summer. The intense cold that you feel (in winter) is part of its severe frost (Zamharir) and the intense heat that you feel in summer is part of its hot wind (Samum)."(Sahih)
4319 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اشْتَكَتِ النَّارُ إِلَى رَبِّهَا، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَبِّ أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا، فَجَعَلَ لَهَا نَفَسَيْنِ: نَفَسٌ فِي الشِّتَاءِ، وَنَفَسٌ فِي الصَّيْفِ، فَشِدَّةُ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْبَرْدِ مِنْ زَمْهَرِيرِهَا، وَشِدَّةُ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ سَمُومِهَا "

Paradise and Hell are also the creations that have feelings. The anger of Hell-fire is mentioned in the Qur'ān. (See Surat Al-Mulk 67:8) The heat and the cold of Hell are so severe that Hell itself cannot bear them, so it is permitted to release its cool and hot air twice in a year to ease itself. The severe heat in summer and severe cold in winter are known realities. The natural reasons of this heat and cold are known by scientists, but there are some unseen reasons that are informed of only by the Prophet ﷺ.
