Al-Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “The sun will draw near to the creation on the Day of Resurrection until it is a mile away from them. People will be in sweat according to their deeds: 1 some up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up to their waists, and some will have sweat bridling them.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) pointed to his mouth with his hand.

(1) His statement: “Some up to their ankles, etc.”: Ibn al-Malik said: If you ask how, if the sweat is like a sea bridling some, it reaches only the ankles of others, we say: It is possible that Allah, the Exalted, creates elevation in the earth under some people’s feet, or that Allah holds each person’s sweat according to their deeds, so it does not reach others. I say: The relied-upon view is the latter, as matters of the Hereafter are all based on breaking the norm. Do you not see that two people in one grave may have one punished and the other blessed, without one knowing about the other? Similarly, in this world, two sleeping people have different dreams, one sad and the other joyful. Or two people sitting in one place, one in the highest ranks and the other in the lowest depths, or one in health and the other in pain or calamity. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله: فمنهم من يكون إلى كعبيه إلخ : قال ابن الملك : إن قلت: إذا كان العرق كالبحر يلجم البعض، فكيف يصل إلى كعب الآخر ؟ قلنا: يجوز أن يخلق الله تعالى ارتفاعا في الأرض تحت أقدام البعض، أو يقال: يمسك الله تعالى عرق كل إنسان بحسب عمله، فلا يصل إلى غيره منه شيء، كما أمسك جرية البحر الموسى ال. قلت: المعتمد هو القول الأخير، فإن أمر الآخرة كله على وفق خرق العادة، أما ترى أن شخصين في قبر واحد يعذب أحدهما وينعم الآخر، ولا يدري أحدهما عن غيره، ونظيره في الدنيا نائمان مختلفان في رؤياهما، فيحزن أحدهما ويفرح الآخر، بل شخصان قاعدان في مكان واحد، أحدهما في عليين والآخر في أسفل سافلين، أو أحدهما في صحة والآخر في وجع أو بلية. كذا في «المرقاة».
