Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنِي جَدِّي، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ وَصَالِحٌ مَوْلَى التَّوْأَمَةِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ ضِرْسُ الْكَافِرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ وَفَخِذُهُ مِثْلُ الْبَيْضَاءِ وَمَقْعَدُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلاَثٍ مِثْلُ الرَّبَذَةِ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ ‏"‏ وَمِثْلُ الرَّبَذَةِ ‏"‏ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَالرَّبَذَةِ ‏.‏ وَالْبَيْضَاءُ جَبَلٌ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ ‏.‏

Translation

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

Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘On the Day of Resurrection, the disbeliever’s molar tooth will be like Mount Uhud, his thigh like al-Bayda, and his seat in the Fire will be a journey of three, like al-Rabadha.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is hasan gharīb.’ He explained that ‘like al-Rabadha’ means the distance between Madinah and al-Rabadha, and that al-Bayda is a mountain like Uhud.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source gives al-Bayda as a mountain like Uhud and glosses al-Rabadha as the distance from Madinah. ‘A journey of three’ is left without supplying a unit, which the Arabic does not specify in this wording.
