Commentary
Hell shall be brought forth from its resting place to the Plains of Resurrection before the people. The Qur'an says: And Hell will be brought near that Day (89:23). The Hadīth informs us that hundreds of thousands of angels shall be commissioned to drag Hell and bring it face to face with the people so that (i) those granted deliverance from it shall know from the jaws of what scary and fearful thing they have escaped, and (ii) exceeding awe and fear shall take grip over the people of the Fire from that very moment.
