حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى أَبُو صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ حَدَّثَنِى سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنِى الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الأَسْوَدِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « تُدْنَى الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ كَمِقْدَارِ مِيلٍ ». قَالَ سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِى مَا يَعْنِى بِالْمِيلِ أَمَسَافَةَ الأَرْضِ أَمِ الْمِيلَ الَّذِى تُكْتَحَلُ بِهِ الْعَيْنُ. قَالَ « فَيَكُونُ النَّاسُ عَلَى قَدْرِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ فِى الْعَرَقِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ إِلَى حَقْوَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُلْجِمُهُ الْعَرَقُ إِلْجَامًا ». قَالَ وَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بِيَدِهِ إِلَى فِيهِ.

Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: 'The sun will be brought near to the people on the Day of Resurrection, until it is one Mil away from them."' Sulaim bin 'Amir said: "By Allah, I do not know what he meant by the word Mil - was it a measure of distance (mile) or the stick which is used to apply kohl to the eyes." "And he (s.a.w) said: 'The people will be submerged in the sweat in accordance with their deeds; for some it will come up to their ankles, for some it will come up to their knees, for some it will come up to their waists and for some it will come up to their mouths.' And the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) pointed with his hand to his mouth.
