2591. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The Fire was kindled for one thousand years until it reddened, then it was kindled for one thousand years until it whitened, then it was kindled for one thousand years until it became blackened, so it is dark black." (Da'if)
(Another chain) similarly from Abū Hurairah, but he did not narrate it in Marfū' form.
[Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah about this is more authentic as Mawqūf, and I do not know anyone who narrated it in Marfū' form other than Yahya bin Abī Bukair from Sharik (narrators in the chain).
