Jubbul Huzn – A Valley in Jahannum

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم تعوذوا بالله من جب الحزن  قالوا يا رسول الله وما جب الحزن قال واد في جهنم تتعوذ منه جهنم كل يوم مائة مرة قيل يا رسول الله ومن يدخله قال القراء المراؤون بأعمالهم  رواه الترمذي (الترغيب والترهيب 1/78)

Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said to the Sahaabah (Radhiallahu Anhum): “Seek Allah’s refuge from ‘jubbul huzn’”. Sahaabah asked, “O Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), what is ‘jubbul huzn?’” Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “It is a valley in Jahannum which Jahannum itself seeks protection from it hundred times daily.” Sahaabah (Radhiallahu Anhum) then asked; “Which class of people will be made to enter this valley?” Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Those Ulama and Huffaaz who do actions for show.”
