Hadith text

Narrated 'Ata' bin Yazid Al-Laithi: On the authority of Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night?" They said, "No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They said, "No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "So you will see Him, like that. Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection, and say, 'Whoever worshipped something (in the world) should follow (that thing),' so, whoever worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and whoever worshiped the moon will follow the moon, and whoever used to worship certain (other false) deities, he will follow those deities. And there will remain only this nation with its good people (or its hypocrites). (The sub-narrator, Ibrahim is in doubt.) Allah will come to them and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will (deny Him and) say, 'We will stay here till our Lord comes, for when our Lord comes, we will recognize Him.' So Allah will come to them in His appearance which they know, and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord,' so they will follow Him. Then a bridge will be laid across Hell (Fire)' I and my followers will be the first ones to go across it and none will speak on that Day except the Apostles. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day will be, 'O Allah, save! Save!' In Hell (or over The Bridge) there will be hooks like the thorns of As-Sa'dan (thorny plant). Have you seen As-Sa'dan? " They replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "So those hooks look like the thorns of As-Sa'dan, but none knows how big they are except Allah. Those hooks will snap the people away according to their deeds. Some of the people will stay in Hell (be destroyed) because of their (evil) deeds, and some will be cut or torn by the hooks (and fall into Hell) and some will be punished and then relieved. When Allah has finished His Judgments among the people, He will take whomever He will out of Hell through His Mercy. He will then order the angels to take out of the Fire all those who used to worship none but Allah from among those whom Allah wanted to be merciful to and those who testified (in the world) that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah. The angels will recognize them in the Fire by the marks of prostration (on their foreheads), for the Fire will eat up all the human body except the mark caused by prostration as Allah has forbidden the Fire to eat the mark of prostration. They will come out of the (Hell) Fire, completely burnt and then the water of life will be poured over them and they will grow under it as does a seed that comes in the mud of the torrent. Then Allah will finish the judgments among the people, and there will remain one man facing the (Hell) Fire and he will be the last person among the people of Hell to enter Paradise. He will say, 'O my Lord! Please turn my face away from the fire because its air has hurt me and its severe heat has burnt me.' So he will invoke Allah in the way Allah will wish him to invoke, and then Allah will say to him, 'If I grant you that, will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by Your Power, (Honor) I will not ask You for anything else.' He will give his Lord whatever promises and covenants Allah will demand. So Allah will turn his face away from Hell (Fire). When he will face Paradise and will see it, he will remain quiet for as long as Allah will wish him to remain quiet, then he will say, 'O my Lord! Bring me near to the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say to him, 'Didn't you give your promises and covenants that you would never ask for anything more than what you had been given? Woe on you, O Adam's son! How treacherous you are!' He will say, 'O my lord,' and will keep on invoking Allah till He says to him, 'If I give what you are asking, will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by Your (Honor) Power, I will not ask for anything else.' Then he will give covenants and promises to Allah and then Allah will bring him near to the gate of Paradise. When he stands at the gate of Paradise, Paradise will be opened and spread before him, and he will see its splendor and pleasures whereupon he will remain quiet as long as Allah will wish him to remain quiet, and then he will say, O my Lord! Admit me into Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you give your covenants and promises that you would not ask for anything more than what you had been given?' Allah will say, 'Woe on you, O Adam's son! How treacherous you are! ' The man will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most miserable of Your creation,' and he will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will laugh because of his sayings, and when Allah will laugh because of him, He will say to him, 'Enter Paradise,' and when he will enter it, Allah will say to him, 'Wish for anything.' So he will ask his Lord, and he will wish for a great number of things, for Allah Himself will remind him to wish for certain things by saying, '(Wish for) so-and-so.' When there is nothing more to wish for, Allah will say, 'This is for you, and its equal (is for you) as well." 'Ata' bin Yazid added: Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri who was present with Abu Huraira, did not deny whatever the latter said, but when Abu Huraira said that Allah had said, "That is for you and its equal as well," Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said, "And ten times as much, O Abu Huraira!" Abu Huraira said, "I do not remember, except his saying, 'That is for you and its equal as well.'" Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri then said, "I testify that I remember the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'That is for you, and ten times as much.' ' Abu Huraira then added, "That man will be the last person of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise

Ata bin Yazid Al-Laithi, Abu Huraira ke hawaale se, bataate hain: Logon ne kaha, 'Aye Allah ke Rasool! Kya hum Qayamat ke din apne Rab ko dekhenge?' Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Kya tumhein poornima ki raat mein chaand dekhne mein koi mushkil hoti hai?' Unhone kaha, 'Nahi, Aye Allah ke Rasool.' Unhone kaha, 'Kya tumhein baadal na hone par suraj dekhne mein koi mushkil hoti hai?' Unhone kaha, 'Nahi, Aye Allah ke Rasool.' Unhone kaha, 'To tum use waise hi dekhoge. Allah Qayamat ke din sab logon ko jama karega, aur kahega, "Jisne bhi kisi cheez ki ibaadat ki (duniya mein), use uski pairvi karni chaahiye," isliye, jisne suraj ki ibaadat ki, wo suraj ki pairvi karega, aur jisne chaand ki ibaadat ki, wo chaand ki pairvi karega, aur jisne kisi doosri (jhoothi) devi-devta ki ibaadat ki, wo unki pairvi karega. Aur sirf yahi ummat apne neik logon (ya munaafiqon) ke saath rahegi. (Ravi Ibrahim ko shak hai.) Allah unke paas aayega aur kahega, "Main tumhaara Rab hoon." Wo (inkaar karke) kahenge, "Hum yahaan tab tak rahenge jab tak hamaara Rab na aaye, kyunke jab hamaara Rab aayega, hum use pehchaan lenge." To Allah unke paas apni us shakl mein aayega jise wo jaante hain, aur kahega, "Main tumhaara Rab hoon." Wo kahenge, "Tu hamaara Rab hai," isliye wo uski pairvi karenge. Phir Jahannam par ek pul bichhaaya jaayega. Main aur mere maanne wale isse paar hone wale sabse pehle log honge, aur us din koi bhi baat nahi karega siwaaye Rasoolon ke. Aur us din Rasoolon ki dua hogi, "Aye Allah, bacha! Bacha!" Jahannam mein (ya pul ke oopar) kaante honge jaise As-Sa'dan (kaantedaar paudhe) ke kaante. Kya tumne As-Sa'dan dekha hai?" Unhone jawab diya, "Haan, Aye Allah ke Rasool!" Unhone kaha, "To wo kaante As-Sa'dan ke kaanton jaise dikhenge, magar unki lambaai ka andaaza sirf Allah ko hi hai. Wo kaante logon ko unke amaal ke mutaabik khainch lenge. Kuch log apne (bure) amaal ki wajah se Jahannam mein reh jaayenge (barbaad ho jaayenge), aur kuch kaanton se kaate ya phaad diye jaayenge (aur Jahannam mein girenge) aur kuch ko saza dee jaayegi aur phir raahat di jaayegi. Jab Allah logon ke beech apna faisla poora kar lega, wo apni rehmat se jise chaahega Jahannam se nikaal lega. Phir wo farishton ko hukm dega ke wo un sab logon ko Aag se nikaalein jo sirf Allah ki ibaadat karte the, un logon mein se jinpar Allah reham karna chahega aur jinhone gawaahi di (duniya mein) ke Allah ke siwa koi ibaadat ke laayak nahi. Farishte unhein Aag mein sajde ke nishaanon (unke maathon par) se pehchaanenge, kyunke Aag insaani jism ke sab hissa jala degi siwaaye sajde ke nishaan ke, kyunke Allah ne Aag ko sajde ke nishaan jalaane se mana kiya hai. Wo (Jahannam ki) Aag se poori tarah jale hue nikalenge aur phir unpar zindagi ka paani daala jaayega aur wo uske neeche aise ugenge jaise seelaab ki mitti mein ek beej ugta hai. Phir Allah logon ke beech apna faisla poora karega, aur ek shaks bacha rahega jo Jahannam ki Aag ka saamna kar raha hoga aur wo Jahannam ke logon mein se sabse aakhri shaks hoga jo Jannat mein daakhil hoga. Wo kahega, "Aye mere Rab! Barah-e-meharbaani mera chehra aag se door kar do kyunke iski hawa ne mujhe takleef pahunchaayi hai aur iski sakht garmi ne mujhe jala diya hai." To wo Allah se usi tareeke se dua karega jaisa Allah chahega, aur phir Allah usse kahega, "Agar main tumhein ye de doon, to kya tum kisi aur cheez ke liye maangoge?" Wo jawab dega, "Nahi, teri Qudrat (Izzat) ki qasam, main tujhse kuch aur nahi maangunga." Wo apne Rab ko jitne bhi waade aur ahad chaahiye denge. To Allah uska chehra Jahannam se door kar dega. Jab wo Jannat ki taraf muh karega aur use dekhega, wo utni der khaamosh rahega jitna Allah chahega, phir wo kahega, "Aye mere Rab! Mujhe Jannat ke darwaaze ke qareeb le jaao." Allah usse kahega, "Kya tumne waade aur ahad nahi diye the ke tum jo tumhein diya gaya hai usse zyaada kabhi kuch nahi maangoge? Afsos hai tumpar, Aye Aadam ke bete! Tum kitne be-imaan ho!" Wo kahega, "Aye mere Rab," aur Allah se dua karta rahega yahaan tak ke Allah usse kahega, "Agar main jo tum maang rahe ho de doon, to kya tum kisi aur cheez ke liye maangoge?" Wo jawab dega, "Nahi, teri (Izzat) Qudrat ki qasam, main kisi aur cheez ke liye nahi maangunga." Phir wo Allah ko waade aur ahad dega aur phir Allah use Jannat ke darwaaze ke qareeb le jaayega. Jab wo Jannat ke darwaaze par khada hoga, Jannat khol di jaayegi aur uske saamne phaila di jaayegi, aur wo uski shaan-o-shaukat aur khushiyaan dekhega jispar wo utni der khaamosh rahega jitna Allah chahega, aur phir wo kahega, "Aye mere Rab! Mujhe Jannat mein daakhil kar." Allah kahega, "Kya tumne waade aur ahad nahi diye the ke tum jo tumhein diya gaya hai usse zyaada kabhi kuch nahi maangoge?" Allah kahega, "Afsos hai tumpar, Aye Aadam ke bete! Tum kitne be-imaan ho!" Wo shaks kahega, "Aye mere Rab! Mujhe apni makhlooq mein sabse zyaada badnaseeb mat bana," aur wo Allah se dua karta rahega jab tak Allah uski baaton par hans na de, aur jab Allah uspar hansega, wo usse kahega, "Jannat mein daakhil ho jaao," aur jab wo isme daakhil hoga, Allah usse kahega, "Kisi bhi cheez ki tamanna karo." To wo apne Rab se maangaega, aur wo bahut si cheezon ki tamanna karega, kyunke Allah khud use kuch cheezon ki tamanna karna yaad dilaayega, kehte hue, "(Tamanna karo) falaan-falaan." Jab tamanna karne ke liye kuch aur nahi bacha, Allah kahega, "Ye tumhaare liye hai, aur uska barabar (bhi tumhaare liye) hai."' Ata bin Yazid ne izaafa kiya: Abu Saeed Al-Khudri, jo Abu Huraira ke saath maujood the, unhone jo bhi Abu Huraira ne kaha usse inkaar nahi kiya, magar jab Abu Huraira ne kaha ke Allah ne kaha, 'Ye tumhaare liye hai aur uska barabar bhi,' Abu Saeed Al-Khudri ne kaha, 'Aur dus guna zyaada bhi, Aye Abu Huraira!' Abu Huraira ne kaha, 'Mujhe yaad nahi, siwaaye unke kehne ke, "Ye tumhaare liye hai aur uska barabar bhi."' Abu Saeed Al-Khudri ne phir kaha, 'Main gawaahi deta hoon ke mujhe yaad hai Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, "Ye tumhaare liye hai, aur dus guna zyaada bhi."' Abu Huraira ne phir izaafa kiya, 'Wo shaks Jannat ke logon mein sabse aakhri hoga jo Jannat mein daakhil hoga.'
