حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي السَّمْحِ، عَنِ ابْنِ حُجَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الْحَمِيمَ لَيُصَبُّ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ فَيَنْفُذُ الْحَمِيمُ حَتَّى يَخْلُصَ إِلَى جَوْفِهِ فَيَسْلِتَ مَا فِي جَوْفِهِ حَتَّى يَمْرُقَ مِنْ قَدَمَيْهِ وَهُوَ الصَّهْرُ ثُمَّ يُعَادُ كَمَا كَانَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ وَسَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ يُكْنَى أَبَا شُجَاعٍ وَهُوَ مِصْرِيٌّ وَقَدْ رَوَى عَنْهُ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَابْنُ حُجَيْرَةَ هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ حُجَيْرَةَ الْمِصْرِيُّ ‏.‏

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet said: ‘Scalding water will be poured over their heads. It will penetrate until it reaches their insides and dissolves what is within, until it comes out through their feet. This is the melting; then they will be restored as they were.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is hasan sahih gharīb.’ Sa‘id ibn Yazid was known by the teknonym Abu Shuja‘, was Egyptian, and al-Layth ibn Sa‘d narrated from him. Ibn Hujayrah was the Egyptian ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Hujayrah.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic explains al-sahr as melting/dissolution and says the water exits through the feet before the person is restored. The source includes the narrator biographies and grading, which the English witness omits.
