The answer

The description of male and female fornicators is accurate, except for the part about them being hung by their breasts, which Al-Albani deemed weak. As for the rest of thecriptions, Al-Bukhari narrated them, where the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned that he saw in his dream naked men and women in a structure like an oven, with flames coming to them from beneath. The two angels informed him that these were the male and female fornicators.
