حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

"‏ يَخْرُجُ عُنُقٌ مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَهُ عَيْنَانِ تُبْصِرَانِ وَأُذُنَانِ تَسْمَعَانِ وَلِسَانٌ يَنْطِقُ يَقُولُ إِنِّي وُكِّلْتُ بِثَلاَثَةٍ بِكُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَبِكُلِّ مَنْ دَعَا مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَبِالْمُصَوِّرِينَ ‏"

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:

"Some of the Fire (in the shape of a long neck) will come out of the Fire on the Day of judgment. It will have two eyes which can see, two ears which can hear, and a tongue which can speak. It will say: 'I have been left in charge of three: Every obstinate oppressor, everyone who called upon a deity besides Allah, and the image makers."

قَوْلُهُ : ( تَخْرُجُ عُنُقٌ مِنْ النَّارِ ) قَالَ فِي الْقَامُوسِ : الْعُنُقُ بِالضَّمِّ وَبِضَمَّتَيْنِ وَكَأَمِيرٍ وَكَصُرَدٍ الْجَيِّدُ وَيُؤَنَّثُ وَالْجَمَاعَةُ مِنْ النَّاسِ. وَقَالَ الْمُنْذِرِيُّ فِي التَّرْغِيبِ بَعْدَ ذِكْرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ : الْعُنُقُ بِضَمِّ الْعَيْنِ وَالنُّونِ أَيْ طَائِفَةٌ وَجَانِبٌ مِنْ النَّارِ. وَقَالَ الطِّيبِيُّ : أَيْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهَا , وَمِنْ بَيَانِيَّةٌ. قَالَ الْقَارِي : وَالْأَظْهَرُ أَنَّهَا تَتَعَلَّقُ بِقَوْلِهِ يَخْرُجُ كَمَا أَنَّ قَوْلَهُ : ( يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ) ظَرْفٌ لَهُ. قَالَ وَالظَّاهِرُ أَنَّ الْمُرَادَ بِالْعُنُقِ الْجَيِّدُ عَلَى مَا هُوَ الْمَعْرُوفُ فِي اللُّغَةِ إِذْ لَا صَارِفَ عَنْ ظَاهِرِهِ. وَالْمَعْنَى أَنَّهُ تَخْرُجُ ق…
