The reader: As for the wording of the hadith, the wording of Al-Bukhari is from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said

The Shaykh : From or about?
The reader: From Abu Hurayrah, he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Paradise and the Fire (Hell) argued, and the Fire (Hell) said, "I have been given the privilege of receiving the arrogant and the tyrants.' Paradise said, 'What is the matter with me? Why do only the weak and the humble among the people enter me?' On that, Allah said to Paradise. 'You are My Mercy which I bestow on whoever I wish of my servants.' Then Allah said to the (Hell) Fire, 'You are my (means of) punishment by which I punish whoever I wish of my slaves. And each of you will have its fill.' As for the Fire (Hell), it will not be filled till Allah puts His Foot over it whereupon it will say, 'Qati! Qati!' At that time it will be filled, and its different parts will come closer to each other; and Allah will not wrong any of His created beings تحاجت الجنة والنار فقالت النار : أوثرت بالمتكبرين والمتجبرين وقالت الجنة مالي لا يدخلني إلا ضعفاء الناس وسقطتهم قال الله تبارك وتعالى للجنة أنت رحمتي أرحم بك من أشاء من عبادي وقال للنار إنما أنت عذاب أعذب بك من أشاء من عبادي ولكل واحدة منهما ملؤها فأما النار فلا تمتلئ حتى يضع رجله فتقول قط قط فهنالك تلتوي ويزوي بعضها إلى بعض ولا يظلم الله عز وجل
Sahih al-Bukhari 4850


The Shaykh : Until what? Until
The reader: Until He places His foot, and it will say: Enough, enough

The Shaykh : Is it "in it" or "upon it"?
The reader: No, it is not in
And it will say: Enough, enough. Then it will be filled and contract, some of it to some. And Allah (Mighty and Majestic) does not wrong anyone of His creation. And as for Paradise, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) will create for it a creation فتقول قط قط فهنالك تمتلي وينزوي بعضها إلى بعض ولا يظلم الله عز وجل من خلقه أحد وأما الجنة فإن الله عز وجل ينشأ لها خلقاً

As for the narration of Muslim, there is an addition after mentioning the hadith
by Your Majesty and Your Generosity بعزتك وكرمك
after mentioning the phrase
Absolutely, absolutely. قط قط
his saying:
by Thy might and generosity.' In paradise there will continue to be more room till God creates people for it and causes them to dwell in the extra space in paradise. بعزتك وكرمك ولا يزال في الجنة فضل حتى ينشأ الله لها خلقا فيسكنهم فضل الجنة
Mishkat al-Masabih 5695

As for Ibn Khuzaymah, he narrated it with the wording
And as for Hell, they will be thrown into it, and it will say: Is there any more? And they will be thrown into it, and it will say: Is there any more? Until the Mighty One places His foot there, and it will be filled and contract, some of it to some, and it will say: Enough, enough وأما النار فيلقون فيها وتقول هل من مزيد ويلقون فيها وتقول هل من مزيد حتى يضع الجبار قدمه هناك تمتلئ ويزوي بعضها إلى بعض وتقول قط قط

As for the narration of al-Bayhaqi, it says

The Shaykh : Places what? The Mighty One in it
The reciter:
Until the Mighty One places His foot there, it will fill up and some of it will be drawn together, and it will say, "Enough, enough." حتى يضع الجبار قدمه هناك تمتليء ويضم بعضها إلى بعض تقول قط قط

As for the narration of al-Bayhaqi
Hell will not cease to say, "Is there any more?" until the Lord of Majesty places His foot in it, and it will say, "Enough, enough, by Your Majesty, by Your Majesty," and some of it will be drawn together. And there will remain in Paradise a surplus until Allah creates a people to settle in the surplus of Paradise. لا تزال جهنم تقول هل من مزيد حتى يضع رب العزة فيها قدمه فتقول قط قط وعزتك وعزتك وزوي بعضها غلى بعض ولا يزال في الجنة فضل حتى ينشأ الله خلقا فيسكنهم فضول الجنة

And in al-Sunnah with the wording:
Hell will not cease to have people thrown into it while it says, "Is there any more?" until its Lord, the Lord of the Worlds, comes to it and the Lord of the Worlds places His foot in it, and some of it will be drawn together. لا يزال جهنم يلقى فيها وهي تقول هل من مزيد حتى يأتيها رب العالمين فيضع رب العالمين قدمه فينزوي بعضها إلى بعض


The Shaykh : He places the foot of the Lord of the Worlds
The reader: He places the foot of the Lord of the Worlds

The Shaykh : Is it "in it" or "upon it"?
The reader: Yes, but He places the foot of the Lord of the Worlds
The Lord of the Worlds places His foot in it, and some of it will be drawn together, and it will say, "Enough, enough," or it will say, "Enough, enough, by Your Majesty and Your Generosity." يضع رب العالمين قدمه فينزوي بعضها إلى بعض وتقول قد قد أو تقول قط قط بعزتك وكرمك

And as for the narration of Ahmad in the Musnad, it is like the narration of Muslim in the previously mentioned wording
And as for the narration of al-Tirmidhi in the Tafsir, it is with a wording like the wording of Ibn Khuzaymah, and al-Tirmidhi also narrated it in the description of Paradise within a hadith with the wording:
And the people of Fire shall remain, then a party of them shall be cast down into it, and it shall be said (to the Fire): 'Have you become full?' So it shall say: Is there more? Then a party of them shall be cast down into it, and it shall be said: 'Have you become full?' So it shall say: Is there more? Until when they are all included into it, Ar-Rahman (the Most-Merciful) shall place His foot in it and its sides shall be all brought together, then He will say: 'Enough.' It will say 'Enough, enough.' ويبقى أهل النار فيطرح منهم فيها فوج ثم يقال: هل امتلأت؟ فتقول هل من مزيد ثم يطرح فيها فوج فيقال هل امتلأت فتقول هل من مزيد حتى إذا أوعبوا فيها وضع الرحمن قدمه فيها وأزوى بعضها إلى بعض ثم قالت قط قط
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2557Sahih. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. (Darussalam)

As for the wording of al-Darimi

The Shaykh : The wording
The reader: As for the wording of al-Darimi:
The people of the Fire will be thrown into the Fire. يلقى في النار أهلها
Sunan ad-Darimi 20:137


The Shaykh : Its people
The reader:
The people of the Fire, and it will say, "Is there any more? Is there any more? Is there any more?" three times, until its Lord comes to it and places His foot on it, and it will shrink and say, "Enough, enough, enough," and it will say, "Enough, enough, enough." أهلُها وتقول هل من مزيد هل من مزيد ثلاثاً حتى يأتيها ربها فيضع قدمه عليها فتنزوي وتقول قط قط قط وتقول قط قط قط

Likewise, and as for the wording of Hilyat al-Awliya, it is with the wording of Muslim mentioned earlier
And al-Khatib al-Baghdadi also narrated it with the wording:
The Mighty One places يضع الجبار
like the narration of Ibn Khuzaymah
And as for al-Nasa'i, it is in manuscript form, and I did not find the manuscript of al-Sunan al-Kubra, and praise be to the Lord of the Worlds

The Shaykh : Now, the problem is that the author attributed "His foot" and "upon it" to the two Sahihs, but the wording of the two Sahihs does not contain this
The student: Maybe in another topic, I did not find it

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: In the two Sahihs

The Shaykh : No, the one behind
The student: ...

The Shaykh : No, but we say it is agreed upon
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Yes, but what he mentioned now does not contain it
The student: Ends

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: Ends of the hadith

The Shaykh : No, it is found in other than the two Sahihs, but I did not find it in the two Sahihs, you must verify again so that we can comment on the author's statement ...
The student: Yes, I reached ... manuscript

The Shaykh : Yes, yes ..., do you have anything, Bandar?
The student: Yes

The Shaykh : Very well.

The questioner : Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : What does "qut" mean?

The Shaykh : It means: Enough for me, enough, enough, meaning: It is sufficient

The questioner : Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : What?

The questioner : I say, to save time, what ...

The Shaykh : This, and we want to make it a document, my intention, if Allah wills

The questioner : Meaning, if he wants to read

The Shaykh : If he wants to read, yes, there is no harm, yes
