/usr/bin/php "/home/hussam/public_html/cron.php?cron_key=abcdef" >>/home/hussam/public_html/cronlog.txt 2>&1

replace abcdef with the cron_key

I get
Status: 404 Not Found
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.17
Content-type: text/html

No input file specified.

in the log
the cron.php permissions are 755

Any idea please?
this is a drupal installation

you can't pass query strings in cron jobs like that (the ?cron_key=abcdef part), just hardcode it in the script.

/usr/bin/php /home/hussam/public_html/cron.php >> /home/hussam/cron.log 2>&1
would be an appropriate line (script errors will get sent to a cron.log file in your home directory)

Try using wget instead:

Code: 
wget -O -  http://YOURSITE/cron.php?cron_key=abcd >>/home/USERNAME/public_html/cron_log.txt 2>&1
