Question:
Please explain to us the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 3195.
Answer:
Its meaning is that the wrongdoer bears this portion, and what is beneath it down to the seven earths. For this reason, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1610a This means that He places a collar around his neck consisting of that portion and what is beneath it down to the bottom of the earth. This is a type of severe torment for him due to his oppression of his brother. It is also used as evidence that if a person owns land, he owns what is beneath it; he has the right to dig and dig and dig, even beyond the horizon, because he has owned the land and what is beneath it, based on this authentic hadith. Yes.
