حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّهُ لَيَأْتِي الرَّجُلُ الْعَظِيمُ السَّمِينُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ يَزِنُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ جَنَاحَ بَعُوضَةٍ وَقَالَ اقْرَءُوا {فَلاَ نُقِيمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَزْنًا} ". وَعَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ مِثْلَهُ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection, a huge fat man will come who will not weigh, the weight of the wing of a mosquito in Allah's Sight." and then the Prophet (ﷺ) added, 'We shall not give them any weight on the Day of Resurrection ' (18.105)

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4729
This hadith about weight before Allah gives a strong reminder about the Day of Resurrection. Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said that a huge fat man will come on that Day, yet he will not weigh even the wing of a mosquito in Allah’s sight. Then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recited the verse saying that no weight will be given to them on the Day of Resurrection. The hadith does not teach people to mock bodies or judge others by appearance. The text is about true worth before Allah. A person may appear important in this world, but the final measure belongs to Allah. For people searching for the mosquito wing hadith, the lesson is to care about faith, truth, and standing with Allah rather than outward status.
What we learn from this hadith
- Worldly size or status is not the real measure before Allah.
- The Day of Resurrection will reveal true weight and worth.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم connected the teaching to a verse from Surah Al-Kahf.
- The hadith warns against relying on outward appearance alone.
