Question:
The questioner asks: What is the significance of mentioning cold and snow in the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 805Sahih (Darussalam), and how many pits does Hellfire have?
Answer:
The significance, and Allah knows best, in mentioning snow, water, and cold is the repetition of purifiers. Because if water, snow, and cold are repeated on a garment, that makes it cleaner and removes the dirt from it more effectively. So the meaning is: "Wash me of my sins with water, snow, and cold." This means the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is asking that his sins be expiated for him, completely. That all the evil deeds upon him be removed. Yes.
