Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 912 — Alqamah bin Qays (may Allah have mercy on)
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ : نَا سَعِيدٌ ، عَنْ حُدَيْجِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ، يَقُولُ ، فِي قَوْلِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : تَرْمِي بِشَرَرٍ كَالْقَصْرِ قَالَ : أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ مِثْلَ الشَّجَرِ وَالْجَبَلِ ، وَلَكِنَّهَا مِثْلُ الْمَدَائِنِ وَالْحُصُونِ I " .
Alqamah bin Qays (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that he heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) say concerning the words of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, "Indeed, it throws sparks like castles": "Know that they (the sparks of Hell) are not like trees and mountains; rather, they are like great cities and fortresses."
