حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تَزَالُ جَهَنَّمُ تَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ . حَتَّى يَضَعَ فِيهَا رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَدَمَهُ فَتَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ وَعِزَّتِكَ . وَيُزْوَى بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ " .
Anas bin Malik Narrated from:
The Hell would continue to say: Is there anything more, until Allah, the Exalted and High, would place His foot therein and that would say: Enough, enough, by Your Honour, and some parts of it would draw close to the other.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2848a
This hadith from Anas b. Malik reports that Hell would continue to say, "Is there anything more?" until Allah, the Exalted and High, places His foot therein. Then it would say, "Enough, enough, by Your Honour," and some parts of it would draw close to the other. The core topic is the filling of Hell and Allah's complete authority over it. The narration does not discuss who is thrown in, except that Hell keeps asking for more in the wording. It also does not add details about Paradise in this version. A reader looking for the hadith where Hell says "Is there more?" should notice the direct warning: Hell is real, it is filled by Allah's command, and it stops only when Allah wills.
