2584. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated that about: Kal Muhl,[1] the Prophet ﷺ said: "Like boiling oil, such that whenever it is brought near him the skin of his face falls into it." (Da'if)
And with this chain, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "The enclosure of the Fire is made up of four walls, the Kithaf of every wall is like the distance traveled in forty years."
And also with this chain, from the Prophet ﷺ, that he said: "If a bucket of Ghassāq were poured out in the world, the people of the world would rot." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] We only know this Hadith through the narration of Rishdīn bin Sa'd. There is some disparagement regarding Rishdīn bin Sa'd. [He has been criticized due to his memory. And the meaning of his statement: "The Kithaf of each wall" is its thickness].

Commentary
So foul and strong will be the smell of Ghassāq (wound discharges or pus) that even if a bucketful of it were thrown into the world, the entire earth would be filled with its stench. Thus, the plight of those that will be made to drink it can very well be imagined.
