Sweating on the Day of Resurrection

SUMMARY: On the Day of Resurrection, people will sweat so much that it will sink deep into the earth and reach their mouths and ears.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "The people will sweat so profusely on the Day of Resurrection that their sweat will sink seventy cubits deep into the earth, and it will rise up till it reaches the people's mouths and ears".
حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْغَيْثِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَعْرَقُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَذْهَبَ عَرَقُهُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ سَبْعِينَ ذِرَاعًا، وَيُلْجِمُهُمْ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ آذَانَهُمْ

On the day of resurrection, people will be sweating profusely. This sweat is so intense that it will sink seventy cubits deep into the earth. A cubit is a unit of length equal to about 18 inches or 45 centimeters. This means that this sweat would be sinking down for over one hundred feet! The sweat would then rise up again until it reaches people's mouths and ears. This hadith serves as a reminder to us all about how serious judgement day is going to be and how important it is for us to prepare ourselves for it now by doing good deeds in our lives.
