حَدَّثَنَا الْحَکَمُ بْنُ مُوسَی أَبُو صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنِي الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ تُدْنَی الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ الْخَلْقِ حَتَّی تَکُونَ مِنْهُمْ کَمِقْدَارِ مِيلٍ قَالَ سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا يَعْنِي بِالْمِيلِ أَمَسَافَةَ الْأَرْضِ أَمْ الْمِيلَ الَّذِي تُکْتَحَلُ بِهِ الْعَيْنُ قَالَ فَيَکُونُ النَّاسُ عَلَی قَدْرِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ فِي الْعَرَقِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَکُونُ إِلَی کَعْبَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَکُونُ إِلَی رُکْبَتَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَکُونُ إِلَی حَقْوَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُلْجِمُهُ الْعَرَقُ إِلْجَامًا قَالَ وَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَی فِيهِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7206
Miqdad b. Aswad reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) as saying: On the Day of Resurrection, the sun would draw so close to the people that there woum be left only a distance of one mile. Sulaim b. Amir said: By Allah, I do not know whether he meant by mile the mile of the (material) earth or dn instrument used for applying collyrium to the eye. (The Prophet is, however, reported to have said): The people would be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds, some up to their. knees, Some up to the waist and some would have the bridle of perspiration and, while saying this, Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) pointed his hand towards his mouth.
