2577. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed a disbeliever's skin will be forty-two forearm lengths thick, his molar teeth will be like Uḥud (mountain), and his sitting place in Hell will be like what is between Makkah and Al-Madīnah." (Da'if) This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb Ṣaḥīḥ as a narration of Al-A'mash.
٢٥٧٧ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسٌ الدُّورِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا شَيْبَانُ ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ غِلَظَ جِلْدِ الْكَافِرِ اثْنَتَانِ وَأَرْبَعُونَ ذِرَاعًا،» وَإِنَّ ضِرْسَهُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ، وَإِنَّ مَجْلِسَهُ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ كَمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَعْمَشِ.

The case of all the disbelievers shall not be at par with one another as to the degree of their disbelief and evil deeds. Accordingly, the bulk and size of their body parts shall also be of different proportions. Apparent disparity in the description of these parts reflects the difference in the kind and degree of evil.
