Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنِ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ دَرَّاجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ الصَّعُودُ جَبَلٌ مِنْ نَارٍ يُتَصَعَّدُ فِيهِ الْكَافِرُ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا وَيَهْوِي فِيهِ كَذَلِكَ أَبَدًا ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مَرْفُوعًا إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ ‏.‏

Translation

Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Abu Sa‘id reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Al-Sa‘ud is a mountain of fire. The disbeliever will climb it for seventy years, then fall down it for the same length of time, forever.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is gharīb; we know it as a Prophetic report only through the narration of Ibn Lahi‘ah.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source calls al-Sa‘ud a mountain of fire and says the ascent and descent each last seventy years, continuing forever. It grades the report gharīb and identifies Ibn Lahi‘ah as the sole known marfu‘ route; the English witness adds a ‘Da‘if’ label not present in the Arabic text.
