One day of Day of reckoning is equivalent to 50,000 years on earth

Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:  
The Day of Reckoning is one day, but it is a day whose length is equal to fifty thousand years, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“A questioner asked concerning a torment about to befall
Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,
From Allaah, the Lord of the ways of ascent.
The angels and the Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel)] ascend to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years”
[al-Ma’aarij 70:1-4] 
i.e., this torment will befall the disbelievers on a day the length of which is equal to fifty thousand years. 
In Saheeh Muslim it is narrated from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no owner of gold or silver who does not pay what is due on it (i.e., zakaah) but when the Day of Resurrection comes, plates of fire will be prepared for him and with them will be branded his forehead, his flanks and his back, and every time they cool down they will be reheated, on a Day the length of which is equal to fifty thousand years, until judgement is passed among the people.” 
This long Day is the day that will be hard for the kaafirs as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“and it will be a hard Day for the disbelievers”
[al-Furqaan 25:26] 
“Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day —
Far from easy for the disbelievers”
[al-Muddaththir 74:9-10]
