The scholars differed concerning what is meant by having the longest necks on many opinions including:
● They are the most yearning people for the mercy of Allah Almighty. Because one extends his neck to what he aspires to, he yearns for the abundance of rewards he sees.
● If people are bridled with sweat on the Day of Resurrection, their necks will be long. Lest they suffer the anguish and sweat.
● They are masters and heads, and the Arabs describe the masters as having the longest necks.
