Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #28745

Suwayd told us, Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak told us, on the authority of Sa’id bin Yazid, Abi Shuja’, on the authority of Abu Al-Samh, on the authority of Abu Al-Haytham, on the authority of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, on the authority of the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, who said: (And they are burning therein.) He said: “The distortion of fire causes his upper lip to shrink until It reaches the middle of his head and his lower lip relaxes until it hits his navel.” Abu Issa said, “This is a good, authentic, and strange hadith.” Abu Al-Haytham’s name is Suleiman bin Amr bin Abd Al-Awari, and he was an orphan in Abu Sa’id’s care.
