[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "The lightest punishment among the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection would be for a man who will be wearing a pair of shoes that will be heated with fire to the extent that his brain will be boiling from them." This hadith is considered authentic according to the conditions set by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, but Al-Dhahabi did not mention it in his summary.  

الحاكم:٨٧٣٢ – حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ بَالَوَيْهِ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا الْإِمَامُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَخْطُبُ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ أَهْوَنَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِرَجُلٍ يُوضَعُ عَلَى أَخْمَصِ قَدَمَيْهِ جَمْرَةٌ يَغْلِي مِنْهَا دِمَاغُهُ» صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The least punished person of the (Hell) Fire people on the Day of Resurrection will be a man under whose arch of the feet two smoldering embers will be placed, because of which his brain will boil just like Al-Mirjal (copper vessel) or a Qum-qum (narrow-necked vessel) is boiling with water."

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: the least suffering for the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Resurrection would be for the man under whose soles would be placed two embers and his brain would boil on account of them.
