Jami at-Tirmidhi 2581 (Book 39, Hadith 9) #28216
Intensity of Allah's Punishment

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) compared the intensity of Allah's punishment to that of boiling oil, which is so hot that it would cause the skin to fall off if brought close to one's face.

Abu Sa'eed narrated regarding His (Allah's) statement: Kal Muhl, the Prophet (s.a.w)said: 'Like boiling oil, such that when it is brought close to his face, the skin of his face will fall off into it".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رِشْدِينُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ دَرَّاجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ فِي قَوْلِهِ‏:‏ ‏(‏كَالْمُهْلِ ‏)‏ قَالَ ‏ "‏ كَعَكَرِ الزَّيْتِ فَإِذَا قَرَّبَهُ إِلَى وَجْهِهِ سَقَطَتْ فَرْوَةُ وَجْهِهِ فِيهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ رِشْدِينَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ‏.‏ وَرِشْدِينُ قَدْ تُكُلِّمَ فِيهِ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the intensity of Allah’s punishment and how it is compared to boiling oil. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used this example as a way to illustrate how severe and powerful Allah’s punishment can be, so much so that if someone were to bring boiling oil close enough to their face, their skin would fall off into it. This hadith serves as a reminder for us all that we should strive our best in following the commands of Allah and stay away from His prohibitions in order for us not be subjected to His wrathful punishment on the Day of Judgment.
