I heard Messenger of Allah (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 ﷺ pointed his hand towards his mouth. (Using translation from Muslim 2864)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تُدْنِا الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ كَمِقْدَارِ مِيلٍ» قَالَ سُلَيْمٌ وَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا عَنَى بِالْمِيلِ؟ مَسَافَةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ؟ أَمِ الْمِيلَ الَّذِي يُكْحَلُ بِهِ الْعَيْنُ؟ قَالَ «فَيَكُونُ النَّاسُ عَلَى قَدْرِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ فِي الْعَرَقِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ إِلَى حِقْوَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُلجَمُ الْعَرَقَ إِلْجَامًا» وَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى فِيهِ
