The sizes of the
people will be larger in paradise and hell. They will be greatly exaggerated.
In a hadith in at-Tirmidhi, Abu Hurayrah narrates that RasulAllah sallallahu
‘alayhi wa sallam says that the thickness of the skin of the people of hell
fire is 42 diraa’ (which is almost one meter – about three feet. This is an
estimate). That’s about 126 feet! You might wonder why specifically the skin is
mentioned. The skin is the centre of the nerves and that’s where the pain is
felt. Then RasulAllah sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said that one tooth will be
like the mountain of Uhud – which is huge. The area occupied by them when they
sit down is the distance between Makkah and Madinah.
Why is the size
expanded? So there would be more surface for punishment. The people of Jannah
will not be the same size, but they will be larger.
