On the authority of Abu Sa'id, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding His saying: {Like molten metal} [Al-Kahf: 29], he said: "Like the dregs of oil. When it is brought near his face, the skin of his face falls off into it."(1)

This is a hadith we do not know except from the narration of Rishdin ibn Sa'd, and Rishdin has been criticized with regard to his memory.

2762 - Suwayd ibn Nasr narrated to us, saying: Ibn al-Mubarak informed us, saying: Sa'id ibn Yazid informed us, on the authority of Abu al-Samh, on the authority of Ibn Hujayrah, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah, on the authority of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Indeed, the boiling water will be poured upon their heads, and the boiling water will penetrate until it reaches their insides, and it will melt away what is in their insides, until it passes out through their feet — and that is the molten [metal]. Then he is restored as he was."(2)

Ibn Hujayrah is: 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hujayrah al-Misri.
