2592. Abū Hurairah narrated that said the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The Fire complained to its Lord. It said: 'Some parts of me consume other parts.' So He allowed it to take two breaths: one during the winter, and one during the summer. As for the breath in the winter then it is Zamharīr, and as for the breath in the summer then it is Samūm." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. It has been reported from Abū Hurairah [from the Prophet ﷺ] through other routes. Al-Mufaḍḍal bin Ṣāliḥ (a narrator) is not of a very sound memory according to the people of Hadīth.

Commentary
Allāh ﷻ can grant power of speech to whomever He wills from His creatures. Accordingly, on the Day of Resurrection not only the different parts of the human body, but also the Earth, shall be allowed to describe what man has been doing all along the period of his life. There is, therefore, nothing surprising if the Fire is given the faculty of speech on that day.
