This is a good, authentic (2) hadith, strange from this chain of transmission.

It is also narrated on the authority of Abu Hurayrah. (3)

‌‌51 - From Surah Adh-Dhariyat

3557 - Ibn Abi 'Umar narrated to us, saying: Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah narrated to us, from Sallam, from 'Asim ibn Abi an-Najud, from Abu Wa'il,

from a man of Rabi'ah, who said: I came to Medina and entered upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and mentioned before him the delegation of 'Ad.

Ibn Hibban said in his "Sahih" 1/502: This report is among those reports that employ the metaphor of adjacency. That is, on the Day of Resurrection, nations and places upon which Allah was disobeyed will be cast into the Fire, and it will not cease asking for more until the Lord, Glorified and Exalted, places a position of the disbelievers and places in the Fire, whereupon it becomes full and says: "Qat, qat," meaning "Enough for me, enough for me," because the Arabs, in their language, apply the term "foot" (qadam) to a place. Allah, Glorified and Exalted, said: {They have a foot of truth with their Lord} meaning a place of truth—not that Allah, Glorified and Exalted, places His foot in the Fire. Exalted is our Lord and far above anything like this and its like.
