Riyad as-Salihin 402 (Book) #38787
The Day of Reckoning

SUMMARY: On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come so close to people that they will be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds.

Al-Miqdad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come so close to people that there would be left only a distance of one Meel". Sulaim bin 'Amir said: By Allah, I do not know whether he meant by "Meel", the mile of the distance measure or the stick used for applying antimony powder to the eye. (Messenger of Allah is, however, reported to have said:) "The people then will be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds, some up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up to the waist and some will have the bridle of perspiration (reaching their mouth and nose) and, while saying this Messenger of Allah pointed to his mouth with his hand". Muslim.
وعن المقداد، رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏ سمعت رسول الله، يقول‏:‏ ‏"‏تدنى الشمس يوم القيامة من الخلق حتى تكون منهم كمقدار ميل‏"‏ قال سليم بن عامر الراوى عن المقداد‏:‏ فوالله ما أدري ما يعني الميل، أمسافة الأرض أم الميل الذي يكحل به العين ‏"‏فيكون الناس على قد أعمالهم في العرق، فمنهم من يكون إلى كعبيه، ومنهم من يكون إلى ركبتيه، ومنهم من يكون إلى حقوبه، ومنهم من يلجمه العرق إلجاماً‏"‏ وأشار رسول الله، ، بيده إلى فيه ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
