The arrogant will be punished in hellfire in a prison called Boolas

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

What is arrogance?

The prophet (ﷺ) said:

الكبر بَطَر الحق، وغَمط الناس

Kibr (arrogance) is rejection of the truth and to look down upon the people. (Umdatul-Tafsīr 1/121)

The punishment for arrogance

The prophet (ﷺ) said:

يُحْشَرُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَمْثَالَ الذَّرِّ، فِي صُوَرِ النَّاسِ، يَعْلُوهُمْ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الصَّغَارِ، حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا سِجْنَا فِي جَهَنَّمَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : بُولَسُ فَتَعْلُوَهُمْ نَارُ الْأَنْيَارِ، يُسْقَوْنَ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْخَبَالِ، عُصَارَةِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ

The Mutakabbirūn (arrogant ones) will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection like specks in the appearance of people, everything will be larger than them (on the basis) of humiliation (that Allāh will place upon them); until they enter a prison in Hell, which is called Būlas, where the most intense of the fire will overwhelm them, and they will be given drink of the tīnati-l-khabāl, the puss of the people of Hell. (Musnad Imām Ahmad #6677. Declared Sahīh by Ahmad Shākir in ‘Umdatul-Tafsīr 1/136)
