📖 1 min readThe Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed that on the Day of Judgment, the sun will be brought close to the people and will approach them until it is only a mile's distance from their heads. Sulaym ibn ‘Āmir, the Tābi‘i, said: By Allah, I do not know which of the two meanings he was referring to, that of the distance on earth or the one used as kohl for the eye? He said: They will be in sweat according to their deeds. Some of them will have sweat up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up to their waist and the waistband of their lower garments, and some will have sweat reaching their mouths, preventing them from speaking. He said: He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his hand to his mouth.
