Mishkat al-Masabih 5610 — The parable of indirect expressions
وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَخْرُجُ مِنَ النَّار بالشفاعة كَأَنَّهُمْ الثعارير؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّه الضغابيس» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Jabir reported God's messenger as saying, "People will come forth from hell like tha'arir because of the intercession." He was asked the meaning of tha'arir and replied that it meant small cucumbers. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
