وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، ثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي زِيَادٌ النُّمَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ:
اشْتَكَتِ النَّارُ إِلَى رَبِّهَا عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَقَالَتْ: رَبِّ أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا، فَجَعَلَ لَهَا نَفَسَيْنِ: نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ، وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ، فَشِدَّةُ مَا تَجِدُونَهُ مِنَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ حَرِّهَا، وَشِدَّةُ مَا تَجِدُونَهُ مِنَ الْبَرْدِ مِنْ زَمْهَرِيرِهَا

✧ The Fire complained to its Lord, Mighty and Majestic, saying, 'My Lord, parts of me are eating other parts.' So He gave it two breaths: a breath in winter and a breath in summer. The intense heat you experience is from its heat, and the intense cold you experience is from its bitter cold.
