حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْكَاهِلِيِّ، عَنْ شَقِيقِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يُؤْتَى بِجَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَهَا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ زِمَامٍ مَعَ كُلِّ زِمَامٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَجُرُّونَهَا " . قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ لاَ يَرْفَعُهُ . حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيُّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْهُ .

‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘On that Day, Hell will be brought forward with seventy thousand reins, each drawn by seventy thousand angels.’ ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman said: ‘Al-Thawri did not attribute it to the Prophet.’ ‘Abd ibn Humayd narrated it through ‘Abd al-Malik ibn ‘Amr Abu ‘Amir al-‘Aqadi, from Sufyan, from al-‘Ala ibn Khalid, with this chain and similar wording, but did not attribute it to the Prophet (mawquf).
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic calls them reins (زمام), not handles as in the English witness. The source preserves a transmission distinction: al-Thawri did not raise the report to the Prophet, and the alternate chain likewise gives it without Prophetic attribution.
