While pains of the lives in Hell, are infinite times more than such sufferings to such person by extreme heat. If from such a hot-climate condition, a life from Hell is transferred to the earth [ at the place mentioned above in the example given), he would experience great relief and would sleep in luxury as if there is a cool breeze without any heat.
There are pains of hot climate conditions in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Hell. In the 4th Hell most of the lives suffer pains of hot climate conditions and few of the lives suffer pains of cold climate conditions. In the 5th Hell most of the lives suffer pains of cold climate conditions and few of the lives suffer pains of hot climate conditions. There are 2 types of pains [ hot and cold) in 4th and 5th Hell. In 6th and 7th Hell there are only pains of cold climate conditions.
