Abu Umamah reported from the Prophet, explaining the words ‘He will be given water of pus to drink, gulping it down’: ‘It will be brought toward his mouth, and he will loathe it. When it is brought close, it will scorch his face and the skin of his scalp will fall into it. When he drinks it, it will cut up his intestines until it comes out through his anus.’ Allah says: ‘They will be given boiling water to drink that cuts up their intestines,’ and He says: ‘If they cry for relief, they will be relieved with water like molten brass that scorches faces—an evil drink.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is gharīb. Muhammad ibn Isma‘il likewise reported it from ‘Ubaydullah ibn Busr. We know ‘Ubaydullah ibn Busr only through this hadith. Safwan ibn ‘Amr also narrated other reports from ‘Abdullah ibn Busr, a Companion of the Prophet. ‘Abdullah had a brother who heard from the Prophet, and his sister also heard from the Prophet. The ‘Ubaydullah ibn Busr from whom Safwan narrated the hadith of Abu Umamah may perhaps have been ‘Abdullah’s brother.’

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The source distinguishes ‘Ubaydullah ibn Busr from the Companion ‘Abdullah ibn Busr and only tentatively suggests they were brothers. The citations are rendered in English; ‘water of pus’ translates sadid, while the second verse uses the image of water like molten brass (muhl).
