حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرُّزِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ { يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امْتَلأْتِ وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ} فَأَخْبَرَنَا عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " لاَ تَزَالُ جَهَنَّمُ يُلْقَى فِيهَا وَتَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ حَتَّى يَضَعَ رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ فِيهَا قَدَمَهُ فَيَنْزَوِي بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَتَقُولُ قَطْ قَطْ بِعِزَّتِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ . وَلاَ يَزَالُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَضْلٌ حَتَّى يُنْشِئَ اللَّهُ لَهَا خَلْقًا فَيُسْكِنَهُمْ فَضْلَ الْجَنَّةِ " .
Abd al-Wahhab b. Ata' Narrated from:
Abd al-Wahhab b. Ata' reported in connection with the words of Allah, the Exalted and the Glorious: We would say to Hell on the Day of Resurrection: Have you been completely filled up? and it would say: Is there anything -more? And he stated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: (The sinners) would be thrown therein and it would continue to say: Is there anything more, until Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, would keep His foot there- in and some of its part would draw close to the other and it would say: Enough, enough, by Thy Honour and by Thy Dignity, and there would be enough space in Paradise until Allah would create a new creation and He would make them accommo- date that spare place in Paradise.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2848c
This hadith connects the statement of Hell, "Is there anything more?" with the filling of Hell and the remaining space in Paradise. The report mentions the verse about Allah saying to Hell on the Day of Resurrection, "Have you been completely filled up?" and Hell replying, "Is there anything more?" It then states that people would be thrown into it until Allah places His foot therein, and Hell says, "Enough, enough, by Your Honour and Your Dignity." Its parts then draw close. The narration also says there would remain space in Paradise until Allah creates a new creation and places them there. The core topic is Allah's control over the final filling of Hell and Paradise.
What we learn from this hadith
- Hell is described as asking whether there is more.
- The narration says Hell says enough by Allah's Honour and Dignity.
- Some parts of Hell draw close together when it is filled.
- The report says Allah creates a creation for the remaining space in Paradise.
