How tall and wide are the people of Paradise, and are the people of the Fire like them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : As for the people of Paradise, their height is sixty cubits and their width is seven, but has there been any specific text regarding the people of the Fire that defines their height?

Answer : Now, regarding the Fire, something more severe than this has been reported about them: the molar of each one of them is like Mount Uhud. I seek refuge in Allah. The wisdom behind this is so that the punishment is expanded upon them; instead of being in a small mass, they are in a large mass, and their punishment extends. We ask Allah for well-being.
