حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يُصَاحُ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ،‏‏‏‏ فَيُنْشَرُ لَهُ تِسْعَةٌ وَتِسْعُونَ سِجِلًّا،‏‏‏‏ كُلُّ سِجِلٍّ مَدَّ الْبَصَرِ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ تُنْكِرُ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئًا،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَا رَبِّ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَظَلَمَتْكَ كَتَبَتِي الْحَافِظُونَ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَكَ عُذْرًا؟ أَلَكَ عنْ ذَلِكَ حَسَنَةٌ؟ فَيُهَابُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ بَلَى،‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَنَا حَسَنَاتٍ،‏‏‏‏ وَإِنَّهُ لَا ظُلْمَ عَلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَتُخْرَجُ لَهُ بِطَاقَةٌ فِيهَا:‏‏‏‏ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَبِّ،‏‏‏‏ مَا هَذِهِ الْبِطَاقَةُ مَعَ هَذِهِ السِّجِلَّاتِ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّكَ لَا تُظْلَمُ،‏‏‏‏ فَتُوضَعُ السِّجِلَّاتُ فِي كِفَّةٍ وَالْبِطَاقَةُ فِي كِفَّةٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَطَاشَتِ السِّجِلَّاتُ وَثَقُلَتِ الْبِطَاقَةُ . ‏‏‏‏ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى:‏‏‏‏ الْبِطَاقَةُ الرُّقْعَةُ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَهْلُ مِصْرَ يَقُولُونَ لِلرُّقْعَةِ:‏‏‏‏ بِطَاقَةً.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “A man from my nation will be called before all of creation on the Day of Resurrection, and ninety-nine scrolls will be spread out for him, each one extending as far as the eye can see. Then Allah will say: “Do you deny anything of this?” He will say: “No, O Lord.” He will say: “Have My recording scribes been unfair to you?” Then He will say: “Apart from that, do you have any good deeds?” The man will be terrified and will say: “No.” (Allah) will say: “Indeed, you have good deeds with Us, and you will not be treated unjustly this Day.” Then a card will be brought out on which is written Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger). He will say: “O Lord, what is this card compared with these scrolls?” He will say: “You will not be treated unjustly.” Then the scrolls will be placed in one side of the Balance and the card in the other. The scrolls will go up (i.e., be light) and the card will go down (i.e., will weigh heavily).” Muhammad bin Yahya says: "A card" refers to a piece of paper, while the Egyptians call a rak'ah "a card."

‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr رضی اللہ عنہما narrated that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَطِيَّةُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ لِي حَوْضًا مَا بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَةِ،‏‏‏‏ وَبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ،‏‏‏‏ أَبْيَضَ مِثْلَ اللَّبَنِ،‏‏‏‏ آنِيَتُهُ عَدَدُ النُّجُومِ،‏‏‏‏ وَإِنِّي لَأَكْثَرُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ تَبَعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “I have a Cistern, (as large as the distance) between the Ka’bah and Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem). (It is) whiter than milk, and its vessels are the number of the stars. I will be the Prophet with the most followers on the Day of Resurrection.”

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَارِقٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ حَوْضِي لَأَبْعَدُ مِنْ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى عَدَنَ،‏‏‏‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ،‏‏‏‏ لَآنِيَتُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ النُّجُومِ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَهُوَ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ،‏‏‏‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ،‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي لَأَذُودُ عَنْهُ الرِّجَالَ كَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّجُلُ الْإِبِلَ الْغَرِيبَةَ عَنْ حَوْضِهِ ،‏‏‏‏ قِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَعْرِفُنَا؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمْ،‏‏‏‏ تَرِدُونَ عَلَيَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ،‏‏‏‏ لَيْسَتْ لِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِكُمْ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “My Cistern is wider than the distance between Ailah and ‘Aden. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, its vessels are more numerous than the number of stars, and it is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will drive men away from it as a man drives strange camels away from his cistern.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, will you recognize us?” He said: “Yes, you will come to me with radiant faces, hands and feet, because of the traces of ablution, and this is not for anyone but you.”

It was narrated from Hudhaifah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُهَاجِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ نُبِّئْتُ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ الْحَبَشِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ عَلَى بَرِيدٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ عَلَيْهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَقَدْ شَقَقْنَا عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا سَلَّامٍ فِي مَرْكَبِكَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَجَلْ وَاللَّهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ الْمَشَقَّةَ عَلَيْكَ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ حَدِيثٌ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُحَدِّثُ بِهِ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْحَوْضِ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تُشَافِهَنِي بِهِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنِي ثَوْبَانُ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ حَوْضِي مَا بَيْنَ عَدَنَ إِلَى أَيْلَةَ،‏‏‏‏ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ،‏‏‏‏ أَوانيِهُ كَعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ،‏‏‏‏ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ شَرْبَةً لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهَا أَبَدًا،‏‏‏‏ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَرِدُهُ عَلَيَّ فُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ،‏‏‏‏ الدُّنْسُ ثِيَابًا وَالشُّعْثُ رُءُوسًا،‏‏‏‏ الَّذِينَ لَا يَنْكِحُونَ الْمُنَعَّمَاتِ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا يُفْتَحُ لَهُمُ السُّدَدُ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَبَكَى عُمَرُ حَتَّى اخْضَلَّتْ لِحْيَتُهُ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَكِنِّي قَدْ نَكَحْتُ الْمُنَعَّمَاتِ،‏‏‏‏ وَفُتِحَتْ لِي السُّدَدُ،‏‏‏‏ لَا جَرَمَ أَنِّي لَا أَغْسِلُ ثَوْبِي الَّذِي عَلَى جَسَدِي حَتَّى يَتَّسِخَ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا أَدْهُنُ رَأْسِي حَتَّى يَشْعَثَ.

“Umar bin ‘Abdul-‘Aziz sent for me and I came to him upon the riding animal prepared for swift mail delivery. When I came to him, he said: ‘We have caused you some trouble O Abu Sallam.’ He said: ‘Yes, by Allah, O Commander of the Believers!’ He said: ‘By Allah, we did not want to cause you any hardship, but there is a Hadith which I have heard that you narrate from Thawban رضی اللہ عنہ, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), concerning the Cistern, and I wanted to hear it directly from you.’ He said: “I said: ‘Thawban رضی اللہ عنہ, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), told me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “My Cistern is (wider than) the distance between Ailah and ‘Aden. It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey, and its cups are as many as the stars in the sky. Whoever drinks from it will never feel thirst again. The first ones who come to drink from it will be the poor Muhajirin, with dirty clothes and disheveled hair, who do not marry refined women and for whom no doors are opened.” ‘Umar wept until his beard became wet, then he said: ‘But I have married refined women and doors have been opened for me. Certainly I will not wash the clothes that are on my body until they become dirt, and I will not comb my hair until it becomes disheveled.’

It was narrated that Abu Sallam Al-Habashi said

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا بَيْنَ نَاحِيَتَيْ حَوْضِي كَمَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ،‏‏‏‏ أَوْ كَمَا بَيْنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَعُمَانَ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The distance between the two ends of my Cistern is like the distance between San’a and Al-Madinah,’ or ‘between Al-Madinah and ‘Amman.’”

It was narrated from Anas رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يُرَى فِيهِ أَبَارِيقُ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ كَعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘One can see in it (the Cistern) jugs of gold and silver, like the number of stars in the sky.”

Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ narrated that

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَن النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ أَتَى الْمَقْبَرَةَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمَقْبَرَةِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِينَ،‏‏‏‏ وَإِنَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِكُمْ لَاحِقُونَ ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّا قَدْ رَأَيْنَا إِخْوَانَنَا ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ أَوَلَسْنَا إِخْوَانَكَ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْتُمْ أَصْحَابِي،‏‏‏‏ وَإِخْوَانِي،‏‏‏‏ الَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِي،‏‏‏‏ وَأَنَا فَرَطُهُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَهُ خَيْلٌ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ خَيْلٍ دُهْمٍ بُهْمٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُهَا ،‏‏‏‏ قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ بَلَى،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْتُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرًّا،‏‏‏‏ مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنْ أَثَارِ الْوُضُوءِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْض ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَيُذَادَنَّ رِجَالٌ عَنْ حَوْضِي كَمَا يُذَادُ الْبَعِيرُ الضَّالُّ،‏‏‏‏ فَأُنَادِيهِمْ أَلَا هَلُمُّوا ،‏‏‏‏ فَيُقَالُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ بَدَّلُوا بَعْدَكَ وَلَمْ يَزَالُوا يَرْجِعُونَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا سُحْقًا سُحْقًا .

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to a graveyard and greeted (its occupants) with Salam, then he said: “Peace be upon you, abode of believing people. We will join you soon, if Allah wills.” Then he said: “Would that we could see our brothers.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?” He said: “You are my Companions. My brothers are those who will come after me. I will reach the Cistern ahead of you.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognize those of your nation who have not yet come?” He said: “If a man has a horse with a blaze on its forehead and white feet, don’t you think that he will recognize it among horses that are deep black in color?” They said: “Of course.” He said: “On the Day of Resurrection they will come with radiant faces, hands, and feet, because of the traces of ablution.” He said: “I will reach the Cistern ahead of you.” Then he said: “Men will be driven away from my Cistern just as stray camels are driven away. And I will call to them: ‘Come here!’ But it will be said: ‘They changed after you were gone, and they kept turning on their heels.’ So I will say: “Be off with you!”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَتَعَجَّلَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَتَهُ،‏‏‏‏ وَإِنِّي اخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي،‏‏‏‏ فَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْهُمْ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Every Prophet had a prayer that was answered, and every Prophet offered this prayer in this world. But I am saving my prayer so that I can intercede for my nation, and it reaches every one of them who dies not associating anything with Allah.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا مُجَاهِدُ بْنُ مُوسَى،‏‏‏‏ وَأَبُو إِسْحَاق الْهَرَوِيُّ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ،‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَا سَيِّدُ وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَلَا فَخْرَ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ الْأَرْضُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ شَافِعٍ وَأَوَّلُ مُشَفَّعٍ وَلَا فَخْرَ،‏‏‏‏ وَلِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ بِيَدِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I am the leader of the sons of Adam, and it is no boast. I will be the first one for whom the earth will be split open on the Day of Resurrection, and it is no boast. I will be the first to intercede and the first whose intercession will be accepted, and it is no boast. The banner of praise will be in my hand on the Day of Resurrection, and it is no boast.”

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،‏‏‏‏ وَإِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا،‏‏‏‏ فأنهم لا يَمُوتُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَوْنَ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ نَاسٌ أَصَابَتْهُمْ نَارٌ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ أَوْ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَمَاتَتْهُمْ إِمَاتَةً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا فَحْمًا،‏‏‏‏ أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ،‏‏‏‏ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ ضَبَائِرَ ضَبَائِرَ،‏‏‏‏ فَبُثُّوا عَلَى أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقِيلَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ،‏‏‏‏ أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَنْبُتُونَ نَبَاتَ الْحِبَّةِ،‏‏‏‏ تَكُونُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ:‏‏‏‏ كَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ كَانَ فِي الْبَادِيَةِ.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “As for the people of Hell, who are its people (i.e., its permanent residents), they will neither die nor live therein. But there are some people who will be punished with fire because of their sins, whom it will kill, then when they have become like coal, permission will be granted for intercession for them. They will be brought, group by group, and scattered on the banks of the rivers of Paradise. It will be said: ‘O people of Paradise, pour water on them.’ Then they will grow like seeds carried by a flood (i.e., quickly).” A man among the people said: It is as if the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) has been in the desert.”

It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ جَابِرٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ شَفَاعَتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِأَهْلِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي .

“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘My intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be for those among my nation who committed major sins.’”

It was narrated that Jabir رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أَسَدٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَدْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ خُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ لِأَنَّهَا أَعَمُّ وَأَكْفَى،‏‏‏‏ أَتُرَوْنَهَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ لَا،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنَّهَا لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ الْخَطَّائِينَ الْمُتَلَوِّثِينَ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I was given the choice between being admitted to Paradise, and I chose intercession, because it is more general and more sufficient. Do you think it is for the pious? No, it is for the impure sinners.”

It was narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَجْتَمِعُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُلْهَمُونَ أَوْ يَهُمُّونَ،‏‏‏‏ شَكَّ سَعِيدٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُونَ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ تَشَفَّعْنَا إِلَى رَبِّنَا فَأَرَاحَنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا،‏‏‏‏ فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ فَيَقُولُونَ أَنْتَ آدَمُ أَبُو النَّاسِ،‏‏‏‏ خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَسْجَدَ لَكَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَاشْفَعْ لَنَا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ يُرِحْنَا مِنْ مَكَانِنَا هَذَا،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَذْكُرُ وَيَشْكُو إِلَيْهِمْ ذَنْبَهُ الَّذِي أَصَابَ فَيَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ ائْتُوا نُوحًا فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ رَسُولٍ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَأْتُونَهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَذْكُرُ سُؤَالَهُ رَبَّهُ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ بِهِ عِلْمٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ ائْتُوا خَلِيلَ الرَّحْمَنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَأْتُونَهُ:‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ ائْتُوا مُوسَى عَبْدًا كَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَعْطَاهُ التَّوْرَاةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَأْتُونَهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَيَذْكُرُ قَتْلَهُ النَّفْسَ بِغَيْرِ النَّفْسِ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ ائْتُوا عِيسَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولَهُ وَكَلِمَةَ اللَّهِ وَرُوحَهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَأْتُونَهُ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَسْتُ هُنَاكُمْ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَكِنْ ائْتُوا مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدًا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَيَأْتُونِي فَأَنْطَلِقُ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَذَكَرَ هَذَا الْحَرْفَ عَنْ الْحَسَنِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَمْشِي بَيْنَ السِّمَاطَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ أَنَسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَبِّي فَيُؤْذَنُ لِي،‏‏‏‏ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُهُ وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا،‏‏‏‏ فَيَدَعُنِي مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدَعَنِي،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ:‏‏‏‏ ارْفَعْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ،‏‏‏‏ وَقُلْ تُسْمَعْ،‏‏‏‏ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ،‏‏‏‏ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتَحْمِيدٍ يُعَلِّمُنِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا،‏‏‏‏ فَيُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ الثَّانِيَةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُهُ وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا،‏‏‏‏ فَيَدَعُنِي مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدَعَنِي،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ:‏‏‏‏ لِي ارْفَعْ مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ تُسْمَعْ،‏‏‏‏ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ،‏‏‏‏ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتَحْمِيدٍ يُعَلِّمُنِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا فَيُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ الثَّالِثَةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُ رَبِّي وَقَعْتُ سَاجِدًا،‏‏‏‏ فَيَدَعُنِي مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدَعَنِي،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ:‏‏‏‏ ارْفَعْ مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ تُسْمَعْ،‏‏‏‏ وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ،‏‏‏‏ وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي فَأَحْمَدُهُ بِتَحْمِيدٍ يُعَلِّمُنِيهِ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أَشْفَعُ فَيَحُدُّ لِي حَدًّا فَيُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أَعُودُ الرَّابِعَةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَبِّ،‏‏‏‏ مَا بَقِيَ إِلَّا مَنْ حَبَسَهُ الْقُرْآنُ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The believers will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection, inspired or worried.” – Sa’eed was not sure – “And they will say: ‘If we seek someone to intercede for us with our Lord, we may find relief from our situation.’ So they will go to Adam and will say: ‘You are Adam, the father of mankind. Allah created you with His Hand and His angels prostrated to you. Intercede for us with your Lord, that He might grant us relief from our situation.’ He will say: ‘I am not the one,’ and he will mention to them and complain of the sin that he committed. He will feel too shy to do that (and will say): ‘Rather go to Nuh, for he is the first Messenger whom Allah sent to the people of earth.’ So they will go to him, but he will say: ‘I am not the one,’ and he will mention of how he asked of Allah that of which he had no knowledge.* He will feel too shy to do that (and will say): ‘Rather go to the Close Friend of the Most Merciful, Ibrahim.’ So they will go to him and he will say: ‘I am not the one. Rather go to Musa, a slave to whom Allah spoke and to whom He gave the Torah.’ So they will go to him and he will say: ‘I am not the one,’ and he will mention how he killed a soul, not in retaliation for murder (and will say): ‘Rather go to ‘Isa, the slave of Allah and His Messenger, the Word of Allah and a spirit created by Him.’ So they will go to him, but he will say: ‘I am not the one. Rather go to Muhammad, a slave whose past and future sins Allah forgave.’ So they will come to me and I will go with them.” – There was a similar report from Hasan who added (the Prophet (ﷺ) said:) And I will walk between two rows of the believers.” Then he went back to the Hadith of Anas. – And he said: “And I will ask my Lord for permission and permission will be given to me. When I see Him I will fall down prostrating, and I will be left as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then it will be said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad. Speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be accepted.’ I will praise Him with praise that He will teach me, then I will intercede, and a limit will be set. Then they will be admitted to Paradise, and I will come back a second time. When I see Him I will fall down prostrating, and I will be left as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then it will be said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad. Speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be accepted.’ I will praise Him with praise that He will teach me, then I will intercede, and a limit will be set. Then they will be admitted to Paradise, and I will come back a third time. When I see Him I will fall down prostrating, and I will be left as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then it will be said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad. Speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be accepted.’ I will praise Him with praise that He will teach me, then I will intercede, and a limit will be set. Then they will be admitted to Paradise, and I will come back a fourth time and will say: ‘O Lord, there is no one left except those who are detained by the Qur’an.’” **

He heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: “More than (the members of the tribe of) Banu Tamim will enter Paradise through the intercession of a man from among my nation.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, besides you?” He said: “Besides me.” I (the narrator) said: "Did you hear that from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He said: "I head it."

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Do you know what choice my Lord gave me on this night?’ We said: ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘He gave me the choice between admitting half of my nation to Paradise and intercession, and I chose intercession.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, pray that we will be among its people (the people for whom you will intercede).’ He said: ‘It is for every Muslim.’”

Awf bin Malik Al-Ashja’i رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي،‏‏‏‏ وَيَعْلَى،‏‏‏‏ قَالَا،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ نُفَيْعٍ أَبِي دَاوُدَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ نَارَكُمْ هَذِهِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَوْلَا أَنَّهَا أُطْفِئَتْ بِالْمَاءِ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَا انْتَفَعْتُمْ بِهَا،‏‏‏‏ وَإِنَّهَا لَتَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ لَا يُعِيدَهَا فِيهَا .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “This fire of yours is one-seventieth part of the fire of Hell. Were it not that its heat has been reduced by water twice, you would not have been able to benefit from it. And it is praying to Allah, asking Allah not to return it (to its original level of heat).”

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ اشْتَكَتِ النَّارُ إِلَى رَبِّهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَبِّ،‏‏‏‏ أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا،‏‏‏‏ فَجَعَلَ لَهَا نَفَسَيْنِ نَفَسٌ فِي الشِّتَاءِ،‏‏‏‏ وَنَفَسٌ فِي الصَّيْفِ،‏‏‏‏ فَشِدَّةُ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْبَرْدِ مِنْ زَمْهَرِيرِهَا،‏‏‏‏ وَشِدَّةُ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ سَمُومِهَا .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The Fire complained to its Lord and said: ‘O Lord, parts of me have consumed other parts.’ So He gave it two occasions to exhale, one in winter and one in summer. The intense cold that you feel (in winter) is part of its severe frost (Zamharir) and the intense heat that you feel in summer is part of its hot wind (Samum).”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أُوقِدَتِ النَّارُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَابْيَضَّتْ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أُوقِدَتْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَاحْمَرَّتْ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أُوقِدَتْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَاسْوَدَّتْ،‏‏‏‏ فَهِيَ سَوْدَاءُ كَاللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ .

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The Hell-Fire was kindled for one thousand years and turned white. Then it was kindled for another thousand years and it turned red. Then it was kindled for another thousand years and it turned black. So it is black like the darkest night.”

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah رضی اللہ عنہ that

حَدَّثَنَا الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يُؤْتَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَنْعَمِ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الْكُفَّارِ،‏‏‏‏ فَيُقَالُ:‏‏‏‏ اغْمِسُوهُ فِي النَّارِ غَمْسَةً،‏‏‏‏ فَيُغْمَسُ فِيهَا،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ فُلَانُ،‏‏‏‏ هَلْ أَصَابَكَ نَعِيمٌ قَطُّ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا مَا أَصَابَنِي نَعِيمٌ قَطُّ،‏‏‏‏ وَيُؤْتَى بِأَشَدِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ضُرًّا وَبَلَاءً،‏‏‏‏ فَيُقَالُ:‏‏‏‏ اغْمِسُوهُ غَمْسَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ:‏‏‏‏ فَيُغْمَسُ فِيهَا غَمْسَةً،‏‏‏‏ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ فُلَانُ،‏‏‏‏ هَلْ أَصَابَكَ ضُرٌّ قَطُّ أَوْ بَلَاءٌ،‏‏‏‏ فَيَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا أَصَابَنِي قَطُّ ضُرٌّ وَلَا بَلَاءٌ .

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “On the Day of Resurrection the disbeliever who lived the most luxurious will be brought, and it will be said: ‘Dip him once in Hell.’ So he will be dipped in it, then it will be said to him: ‘O so- and-so, have you every enjoyed any pleasure?’ He will say: ‘No, I have never enjoyed any pleasure.’ Then the believer who suffered the most hardship and trouble will be brought and it will be said: ‘Dip him once in Paradise.’ So he will be dipped in it and it will be said to him: ‘O so-and-so, have you ever suffered any hardship or trouble?’ He will say: ‘I have never suffered any hardship or trouble.’”
