• The Hadīth on Intercession

  عن حذيفة بن اليمان وأبي هريرة رضي الله عنهما مرفوعاً: «يجمع الله -تبارك وتعالى- الناس فيقوم المؤمنون حتى تُزْلَفَ لهم الجنة، فيأتون آدم صلوات الله عليه، فيقولون: يا أبانا استفتح لنا الجنة، فيقول: وهل أخرجكم من الجنة إلا خطيئة أبيكم! لست بصاحب ذلك، اذهبوا إلى ابني إبراهيم خليل الله، قال: فيأتون إبراهيم فيقول إبراهيم: لستُ بصاحب ذلك إنما كنت خليلا من وراءِ وراء، اعمدوا إلى موسى الذي كلمه الله تكليما، فيأتون موسى، فيقول: لستُ بصاحب ذلك، اذهبوا إلى عيسى كلمة الله وروحه، فيقول عيسى: لست بصاحب ذلك، فيأتون محمدا صلى الله عليه وسلم فيقوم فيؤذن له، وتُرسَلُ الأمانة والرحم فيقومان جَنْبَتَي الصِّرَاطَ يمينا وشمالا فيَمُرُّ أوَّلُكُم كالبَرْقِ» قلتُ: بأبي وأمي، أي شيء كَمَرِّ البرْقِ؟ قال: «ألم تروا كيف يمر ويرجع في طَرْفِة عَيْنٍ، ثم كَمَرِّ الرِّيح، ثم كَمَرِّ الطَّيْرِ، وشَدِّ الرِّجال تجري بهم أعمالهم، ونبيكم قائم على الصراط، يقول: رب سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ، حتى تعجز أعمال العباد، حتى يجيء الرجل لا يستطيع السير إلا زَحْفَا، وفي حافتي الصراط كَلالِيبُ مُعَلَّقَةٌ مأمورة بأخذ من أُمِرَتْ به، فَمَخْدُوشٌ نَاجٍ، ومُكَرْدَسٌ في النار». والذي نفس أبي هريرة بيده، إن قَعْرَ جهنم لسبعون خريفا.

  Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamān and Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will gather mankind (on the Day of Resurrection). The believers will stand until Paradise is brought near to them. So, they will go to Adam (peace be upon him) and say: 'O our Father, request that Paradise be opened for us.' He will say: 'Was it anything other than your father's sin that got you out of Paradise? I am not fit for that. Go to my son Ibrahīm, the intimate friend of Allah.' They will go to Ibrahīm who will say: 'I am not fit for that. Indeed, I was only an intimate friend of a low order. Go to Mūsa whom Allah spoke directly to.' They will go to Mūsa, but he will say: 'I am not fit for that. Go to ‘Īsa, the Word and Spirit of Allah.' ‘Īsa will say: 'I am not fit for that.' So they will go to Muhammad who will stand and will be given permission. Trust and kinship will be sent to stand on the right and left of the Sirāt. The first of you will pass over it like lightning." I (the narrator) said: "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you! What is the passing of lightening like?" He said: "Have you not seen how it comes and goes in the blink of an eye? Then it will be like the passing of wind. Then it will be like the passing of birds. Then it will be like the running of men; their deeds will make them run. Your Prophet will be standing at the Sirāt saying: 'O Lord, give salvation, give salvation!' until the deeds of slaves will not avail them; until a man would not be able to move except by crawling. On the two edges of the Sirāt, there will be suspended hooks, commanded to snatch whom they are ordered to snatch. Some people will sustain injuries but will be saved; others will be dumped in the Fire." By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Abu Hurayrah, the depth of Hell is seventy years.

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know who the bankrupt is?" They said: "The bankrupt among us is the one who has neither money nor belongings." He said: "Verily, the bankrupt in my Ummah is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayers, fasting, and Zakah, but he comes while he has hurled abuse at this one, slandered that one, unlawfully consumed the wealth of this one, shed the blood of that one, and beat this one. So, this one will be given of his good deeds and that one will be given of his good deeds. If his good deeds run out before justice is fulfilled, some of their sins will be cast upon him and then he will be thrown into Hellfire."

  عَنْ أَبي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ صَاحِبِ ذَهَبٍ وَلَا فِضَّةٍ، لَا يُؤَدِّي مِنْهَا حَقَّهَا، إِلَّا إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ، صُفِّحَتْ لَهُ صَفَائِحُ مِنْ نَارٍ، فَأُحْمِيَ عَلَيْهَا فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَيُكْوَى بِهَا جَنْبُهُ وَجَبِينُهُ وَظَهْرُهُ، كُلَّمَا بَرَدَتْ أُعِيدَتْ لَهُ، فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ، حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ، فَيَرَى سَبِيلَهُ، إِمَّا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِمَّا إِلَى النَّارِ» قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَالْإِبِلُ؟ قَالَ: «وَلَا صَاحِبُ إِبِلٍ لَا يُؤَدِّي مِنْهَا حَقَّهَا، وَمِنْ حَقِّهَا حَلَبُهَا يَوْمَ وِرْدِهَا، إِلَّا إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ، بُطِحَ لَهَا بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ، أَوْفَرَ مَا كَانَتْ، لَا يَفْقِدُ مِنْهَا فَصِيلًا وَاحِدًا، تَطَؤُهُ بِأَخْفَافِهَا وَتَعَضُّهُ بِأَفْوَاهِهَا، كُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَاهَا، فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ، حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ، فَيَرَى سَبِيلَهُ إِمَّا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِمَّا إِلَى النَّارِ» قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَالْبَقَرُ وَالْغَنَمُ؟ قَالَ: «وَلَا صَاحِبُ بَقَرٍ، وَلَا غَنَمٍ، لَا يُؤَدِّي مِنْهَا حَقَّهَا، إِلَّا إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ بُطِحَ لَهَا بِقَاعٍ قَرْقَرٍ، لَا يَفْقِدُ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا، لَيْسَ فِيهَا عَقْصَاءُ، وَلَا جَلْحَاءُ، وَلَا عَضْبَاءُ تَنْطَحُهُ بِقُرُونِهَا وَتَطَؤُهُ بِأَظْلَافِهَا، كُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ أُولَاهَا رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَاهَا، فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ، حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ، فَيَرَى سَبِيلَهُ إِمَّا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِمَّا إِلَى النَّارِ» قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَالْخَيْلُ؟ قَالَ: «الْخَيْلُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: هِيَ لِرَجُلٍ وِزْرٌ، وَهِيَ لِرَجُلٍ سِتْرٌ، وَهِيَ لِرَجُلٍ أَجْرٌ، فَأَمَّا الَّتِي هِيَ لَهُ وِزْرٌ، فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا رِيَاءً وَفَخْرًا وَنِوَاءً عَلَى أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَهِيَ لَهُ وِزْرٌ، وَأَمَّا الَّتِي هِيَ لَهُ سِتْرٌ، فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْسَ حَقَّ اللهِ فِي ظُهُورِهَا وَلَا رِقَابِهَا، فَهِيَ لَهُ سِتْرٌ وَأَمَّا الَّتِي هِيَ لَهُ أَجْرٌ، فَرَجُلٌ رَبَطَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ لِأَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فِي مَرْجٍ وَرَوْضَةٍ، فَمَا أَكَلَتْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَرْجِ، أَوِ الرَّوْضَةِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ، إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُ، عَدَدَ مَا أَكَلَتْ حَسَنَاتٌ، وَكُتِبَ لَهُ، عَدَدَ أَرْوَاثِهَا وَأَبْوَالِهَا، حَسَنَاتٌ، وَلَا تَقْطَعُ طِوَلَهَا فَاسْتَنَّتْ شَرَفًا، أَوْ شَرَفَيْنِ، إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ عَدَدَ آثَارِهَا وَأَرْوَاثِهَا حَسَنَاتٍ، وَلَا مَرَّ بِهَا صَاحِبُهَا عَلَى نَهْرٍ، فَشَرِبَتْ مِنْهُ وَلَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْقِيَهَا، إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللهُ لَهُ، عَدَدَ مَا شَرِبَتْ، حَسَنَاتٍ» قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَالْحُمُرُ؟ قَالَ: «مَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ فِي الْحُمُرِ شَيْءٌ، إِلَّا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ الْفَاذَّةُ الْجَامِعَةُ»: {فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْرًا يَرَهُ، وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ} [الزلزلة: 8].

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No owner of gold or silver who does not pay what is due on it except that on the Day of Judgment they will be made for him sheets of fire and will be heated in the fire of Hell. His side, forehead, and back will be seared therewith. Whenever they cool down, they will be heated for him again on a day, the length of which is fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among the slaves and he sees his path, either to Paradise or Hellfire." It was said: O Messenger of Allah, what about camels? He said: "And no owner of camels who does not pay what is due on them, and this includes milking them on their watering day, except that on the Day of Judgment he will be thrown down in a vast, smooth plain, and they will come, more numerous than they have ever been without even a single young one missing thereof. They will trample him with their hooves and bite him with their mouths. Whenever the first of them passes over him, the last of them will be made to return and pass over him on a day, the length of which is fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among the slaves and he sees his path, either to Paradise or Hellfire." It was said: O Messenger of Allah, what about cows and sheep? He said: "And no owner of cows and sheep who does not pay what is due on them except that on the Day of Judgment he will be thrown down in a vast, smooth plain and they will come without any of them missing. There will be none among them with twisted horns, without horns, or with a broken horn. They will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hooves. Whenever the first of them passes over him, the last of them will be made to return and pass over him on a day, the length of which is fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among the slaves and he sees his path, either to Paradise or Hellfire." It was said: O Messenger of Allah, what about horses? He said: "Horses are three: they are a burden for a man, a shield for another man, and a reward for a third man. As for the one for whom they are a burden, he is a man who kept them by way of showing off, boasting, and expressing hostility towards Muslims; so they are a burden for him. As for the one for whom they are a shield, he is a man who kept them for the sake of Allah and did not forget the right of Allah concerning their backs and their necks, and so they are a shield for him. As for the one for whom they are a reward, he is a man who kept them in a meadow or pasture for the sake of Allah to be used for the interest of Muslims. Whatever they eat from that meadow and pasture will be recorded for him as good deeds, and even their dung and urine will be recorded for him as good deeds. They will not break their halter and prance a course or two without their hoof marks and their dung written for him as good deeds. And their owner does not take them past a river from which they drink, though he did not intend thereby to quench their thirst, except that Allah will record for him the amount they drink as good deeds."

• My Lord has promised me that seventy thousand of my Ummah will enter Paradise without being brought to account or punished. With every thousand there will be (another) seventy thousand, and three handfuls of my Lord

  عن أبي أمامة رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «وَعَدَني ربِّي أنْ يُدْخِلَ الجنةَ من أُمَّتي سبعين ألفًا بغير حسابٍ ولا عذابٍ، مع كلِّ ألفٍ سبعون ألفًا، وثلاثُ حَثَيَاتٍ مِن حَثَيَاتِ ربِّي».

  Abu Umāmah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Lord has promised me that seventy thousand of my Ummah will enter Paradise without being brought to account or punished. With every thousand there will be (another) seventy thousand, and three handfuls of my Lord.”

• The Sirāt will be placed over the center of Hell, covered with thorns similar to the thorns of the Sa‘dān. Then, people will pass over it; some will be safe without any harm, some will be safe after receiving some scratches, and some will fall down into Hell

  عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «يُوضَعُ الصِّراط بين ظَهْرَي جهنم، عليه حَسَكٌ كحَسَك السَّعْدان، ثم يستجيز الناس، فناجٍ مُسَلَّم، ومَجْدوح به ثم ناجٍ، ومحتبَس به فمنكوسٌ فيها، فإذا فرغ اللهُ عز وجل من القضاءِ بين العباد، يفقد المؤمنون رجالًا كانوا معهم في الدنيا يُصلُّون بصلاتهم، ويُزَكُّون بزكاتهم، ويصومون صيامهم، ويحجُّون حجَّهم ويغزون غزوَهم فيقولون: أي ربنا عبادٌ من عبادك كانوا معنا في الدنيا يُصلُّون صلاتنا، ويُزَكُّون زكاتنا، ويصومون صيامنا، ويحجُّون حجَّنا، ويغزون غزوَنا لا نراهم، فيقول: اذهبوا إلى النار فمن وجدتم فيها منهم فأخرجوه، قال: فيجدونهم قد أخذتهم النارُ على قَدْر أعمالهم، فمنهم مَن أخذته إلى قدميه، ومنهم مَن أخذته إلى نصف ساقيه، ومنهم مَن أخذته إلى رُكبتيه، ومنهم من أخذته إلى ثَدْيَيْه، ومنهم من أزرته، ومنهم من أخذته إلى عنقه، ولم تَغْشَ الوجوهَ، فيستخرجونهم منها فيُطرحون في ماء الحياة»، قيل: يا رسول الله وما الحياة؟ قال: «غسل أهل الجنة فينبتون نباتَ الزرعة» وقال مرة: «فيه كما تنبت الزرعة في غُثاء السَّيل، ثم يشفع الأنبياء في كلِّ من كان يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله مخلِصًا فيخرجونهم منها» قال: «ثم يتحنَّنُ اللهُ برحمته على من فيها، فما يترك فيها عبدًا في قلبه مثقالُ حبَّة من إيمان إلا أخرجه منها».

  Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Sirāt will be placed over the center of Hell, covered with thorns similar to the thorns of the Sa‘dān. Then, people will pass over it; some will be safe without any harm, some will be safe after receiving some scratches, and some will fall down into Hell. When Allah, Glorified and Exalted, has finished judging between the slaves, the believers will look for men who were with them on earth praying as they prayed, paying Zakah as they paid it, fasting as they fasted, performing pilgrimage as they performed it, and fighting (in the cause of Allah) as they fought. The believers will then ask: 'O our Lord, there were slaves from among Your slaves who were with us on earth and used to pray as we prayed, pay Zakah as we paid it, fast as we fasted, perform pilgrimage as we performed it, and fight (in Your cause) as we fought, yet we do not see them.' Allah will say: 'Depart to Hell and whomever of these you find therein take him out.' So they will find them, engulfed by the fire according to their deeds. Some of them will be engulfed by the fire to their feet, some to the middle of their legs, some to their knees, some to their breasts, some to their waist and some to their necks, but not their faces. They will be removed from the fire and cast into the water of life." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is (the water of) life?" He replied: "The washing of the dwellers of Paradise; and they will sprout as a plant sprouts. (In another narration, he said: And they will sprout in it as the plant sprouts in the silt left by a flood.) Then, the prophets will intercede on behalf of anyone who faithfully witnessed that there is no god but Allah and they will be taken out of Hell. Then, Allah will show compassion by His mercy to those in it (Hell) so that there will not be left in it a slave who has an atom’s weight of faith in his heart."

• Our Lord will reveal His Shin, and then all believers, men and women, will prostrate themselves before Him, but there will remain those who used to prostrate in the worldly life for showing off and gaining good reputation. Such people will try to prostrate (in that situation) but their backs will be as stiff as if it is one bone

  عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «يكشِف ربُّنا عن ساقِه، فيسجدُ له كلُّ مؤمنٍ ومؤمنةٍ، فيبقى كلُّ مَن كان يسجدُ في الدنيا رياءً وسُمْعةً، فيذهبُ ليسجدَ، فيعودَ ظهرُه طبقًا واحدًا».

  Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Our Lord will reveal His Shin, and then all believers, men and women, will prostrate themselves before Him, but there will remain those who used to prostrate in the worldly life for showing off and gaining good reputation. Such people will try to prostrate (in that situation) but their backs will be as stiff as if it is one bone (a single vertebra)."

• The Hadīth of Abu Sa‘īd depicts some of the scenes of the Day of Judgment, when the believers see Allah, Blessed and Exalted; the "Sirāt" (bridge over Hell), taking anyone in whose heart there is an atom weight of faith out of the Fire, and the intercession

  عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه قلنا يا رسولَ الله، هل نرى ربَّنا يوم القيامة؟ قال: «هل تُضَارُّون في رؤية الشمس والقمر إذا كانت صَحْوًا؟»، قلنا: لا، قال: «فإنكم لا تُضَارُّون في رؤية ربِّكم يومئذ، إلا كما تُضَارُّون في رؤيتهما» ثم قال: «ينادي منادٍ: ليذهب كلُّ قوم إلى ما كانوا يعبدون، فيذهب أصحابُ الصليب مع صليبهم، وأصحابُ الأوثان مع أوثانهم، وأصحابُ كلِّ آلهةٍ مع آلهتهم، حتى يبقى من كان يعبد اللهَ، مِن بَرٍّ أو فاجر، وغُبَّرات من أهل الكتاب، ثم يؤتى بجهنم تعرضُ كأنها سَرابٌ، فيقال لليهود: ما كنتم تعبدون؟ قالوا: كنا نعبد عُزَير ابنَ الله، فيقال: كذبتم، لم يكن لله صاحبة ولا ولد، فما تريدون؟ قالوا: نريد أن تسقيَنا، فيقال: اشربوا، فيتساقطون في جهنم، ثم يقال للنصارى: ما كنتم تعبدون؟ فيقولون: كنا نعبد المسيحَ ابن الله، فيقال: كذبتم، لم يكن لله صاحبة، ولا ولد، فما تريدون؟ فيقولون: نريد أن تسقيَنا، فيقال: اشربوا فيتساقطون في جهنم، حتى يبقى من كان يعبد الله من بَرٍّ أو فاجر، فيقال لهم: ما يحبسكم وقد ذهب الناس؟ فيقولون: فارقناهم، ونحن أحوجُ منا إليه اليوم، وإنَّا سمعنا مناديًا ينادي: ليَلْحقْ كلُّ قوم بما كانوا يعبدون، وإنما ننتظر ربَّنا، قال: فيأتيهم الجَبَّار في صورة غير صورتِه التي رأوه فيها أولَ مرة، فيقول: أنا ربُّكم، فيقولون: أنت ربُّنا، فلا يُكَلِّمُه إلا الأنبياء، فيقول: هل بينكم وبينه آيةٌ تعرفونه؟ فيقولون: الساق، فيَكشِفُ عن ساقه، فيسجد له كلُّ مؤمن، ويبقى من كان يسجد لله رِياءً وسُمْعَة، فيذهب كيما يسجد، فيعود ظهرُه طَبَقًا واحدًا، ثم يؤتى بالجسر فيُجْعَل بين ظَهْرَي جهنم»، قلنا: يا رسول الله، وما الجسر؟ قال: «مَدْحَضةٌ مَزَلَّةٌ، عليه خطاطيفُ وكَلاليبُ، وحَسَكَةٌ مُفَلْطَحَةٌ لها شوكةٌ عُقَيْفاء تكون بنَجْد، يقال لها: السَّعْدان، المؤمن عليها كالطَّرْف وكالبَرْق وكالرِّيح، وكأَجاويد الخيل والرِّكاب، فناجٍ مُسَلَّمٌ، وناجٍ مَخْدوشٌ، ومَكْدُوسٌ في نار جهنم، حتى يمرَّ آخرُهم يسحب سحبًا، فما أنتم بأشد لي مُناشدةً في الحق قد تبيَّن لكم من المؤمن يومئذ للجَبَّار، وإذا رأَوْا أنهم قد نَجَوْا، في إخوانهم، يقولون: ربنا إخواننا، كانوا يصلون معنا، ويصومون معنا، ويعملون معنا، فيقول الله تعالى : اذهبوا، فمن وجدتُم في قلبه مِثْقالُ دِينار من إيمان فأخرجوه، ويُحَرِّمُ اللهُ صُوَرَهم على النار، فيأتونهم وبعضُهم قد غاب في النار إلى قدمِه، وإلى أنصاف ساقَيْه، فيُخْرِجون مَن عَرَفوا، ثم يعودون، فيقول: اذهبوا فمَن وجدتُم في قلبه مِثْقال نصف دينار فأخرجوه، فيُخْرِجون مَن عَرَفوا، ثم يعودون، فيقول: اذهبوا فمن وجدتم في قلبه مِثْقال ذرة من إيمان فأخرجوه، فيُخْرِجون مَن عَرَفوا» قال أبو سعيد: فإنْ لم تُصَدِّقوني فاقرءوا: {إنَّ اللهَ لا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وإنْ تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا} «فيشفعُ النبيُّون والملائكة والمؤمنون، فيقول الجَبَّار: بَقِيَتْ شفاعتي، فيَقْبِض قَبْضَةً من النار، فيُخْرِجُ أقوامًا قدِ امْتَحَشُوا، فيُلْقَوْن في نهرٍ بأفواه الجنة، يقال له: ماء الحياة، فيَنْبُتون في حافَّتَيْه كما تَنْبُتُ الحِبَّة في حَمِيل السَّيْل، قد رأيتُموها إلى جانب الصَّخْرة، وإلى جانب الشجرة، فما كان إلى الشمس منها كان أخضر، وما كان منها إلى الظِّلِّ كان أبيض، فيخرجون كأنَّهم اللؤلؤ، فيُجعل في رقابهم الخَوَاتيم، فيَدخلون الجنة، فيقول أهل الجنة: هؤلاء عُتَقاءُ الرحمن، أدخلهم الجنةَ بغير عَمَلٍ عملوه، ولا خيرٍ قَدَّموه، فيقال لهم: لكم ما رأيتم ومثلُه معه».

  Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we see our Lord on the Day of Judgment?" He said: "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon when the sky is clear?" We said: 'No.' He said: "So you will have no difficulty in seeing your Lord on that Day as you have no difficulty in seeing them (the sun and the moon in a clear sky)." He then said: "Somebody will then announce: 'Let every nation follow what they used to worship.' So the followers of the cross will go with their cross, and the idolaters will go with their idols, and the followers of every false deity will go with their deity, until those who used to worship Allah, both the pious and the sinful, and some of the People of the Book remain. Then Hell will be presented to them as if it were a mirage. It will be said to the Jews: 'What did you use to worship?' They will reply: 'We used to worship ‘Uzayr (Ezra), the son of Allah.' It will be said to them: 'You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. So what do you want?' They will reply: 'We want You to provide us with water.' It will be said to them: 'Drink, and they will fall down in Hell (instead).' Then it will be said to the Christians: 'What did you use to worship?' They will reply: 'We used to worship the Messiah, the son of Allah.' It will be said: 'You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. So what do you want?' They will say: 'We want You to provide us with water.' It will be said to them: 'Drink, and they will fall down in Hell (instead).' When only those who used to worship Allah, both the pious and the sinful ones, remain, it will be said to them: 'What keeps you here when all the people have gone?' They will say: 'We parted with them (in the world) when we were in greater need of them than we are today. We heard the call of one proclaiming, 'Let every nation follow what they used to worship', and now we are waiting for our Lord.' Then the Almighty will come to them in a form other than the one in which they saw Him the first time, and He will say: 'I am your Lord,' and they will say: 'You are our Lord.' None will speak to Him then but the prophets, and then it will be said to them: 'Do you know any sign by which you can recognize Him?' They will say: 'The Shin,' and so Allah will uncover His Shin, whereupon every believer will prostrate before Him, and there those who used to prostrate before Him just for showing off and for gaining good reputation will remain. These people will try to prostrate, but their backs will be rigid, like a piece of wood (and they will not be able to prostrate). Then the Sirāt will be laid across Hell." We, the Companions of the Prophet, said: "O Messenger of Allah, what is the Sirāt?" He said: "It is a slippery (bridge) on which there are clamps and hooks like a thorny seed that is wide at one side and has thorns with bent ends. Such a thorny seed is found in Najd and is called As-Sa‘dān. Some of the believers will cross the Sirāt as quickly as the wink of an eye, others as quickly as lightning, as a strong wind, and as fast horses and riding camels. So some will be safe without any harm, some will become safe after having received some scratches, and some will fall down into Hell. The last person will cross by being dragged (over the bridge). You (Muslims) cannot be more pressing in claiming a right that has been clearly proved to be yours from me than the believers in interceding with the Almighty for their (Muslim) brothers on that Day, when they see themselves safe. They will say: 'O Allah, (save) our brothers (for they) used to pray with us, fast with us, and do good deeds with us.' Allah will say: 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of a dinar.' Allah will forbid the Fire to burn the faces of those sinners. They will go to them and find some of them in the fire of Hell up to their feet, and some up to the middle of their legs. So they will take out those whom they will recognize and then return, and Allah will say (to them): 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of half a dinar.' They will take out whomever they will recognize and return, and then Allah will say: 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of an atom,' and so they will take out all those whom they will recognize.' If you do not believe me then read the noble verse: {Surely, Allah wrongs not even of the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant) but if there is any good (done) He doubles it.} [Sūrat An-Nisā: 40]" The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) added: "The prophets and angels and the believers will intercede, and then the Almighty will say: 'Now remains My Intercession.' He will then hold a handful of the Fire from which He will take out some people whose bodies have been charred, and they will be thrown into a river at the entrance of Paradise called the water of life. They will grow on its banks just as a seed carried by the torrent grows. You have noticed how it grows beside a rock or beside a tree and how the side facing the sun is green while the side facing the shade is white. Those people will come out (of the River of Life) like pearls, and they will have seals on their necks, and then they will enter Paradise, whereupon the people of Paradise will say: 'These are the people emancipated by the Most Merciful. He has admitted them into Paradise without them having done any good deeds and without sending forth any good (for themselves).' Then it will be said to them: 'For you is what you have seen and its equivalent as well.'"

• I know the last of the inhabitants of Hell to come out of it, and the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it. He is a man who will emerge from Hellfire crawling, and Allah, the Almighty, will say to him: Go and enter Paradise. When he arrives, it will appear to him that it is full. He will say: O Lord, I have found it full

  عن المغيرة بن شعبة رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «سَأل موسى صلى الله عليه وسلم ربَّه: ما أدْنَى أهل الجَنَّة مَنْزِلَة؟ قال: هو رَجُل يَجِيءُ بعد ما أُدخِل أهل الجَنَّة الجَنَّة، فَيُقَال له: ادخل الجَنَّة. فيقول: أيْ رب، كيف وقد نَزَل النَّاس مَنَازِلَهُم، وأخَذُوا أَخَذَاتِهِم؟ فَيُقَال له: أَتَرْضَى أن يكون لك مثل مُلْكِ مَلِكٍ من مُلُوكِ الدُّنيا؟ فيقول: رَضِيْتُ رَبِّ، فيقول: لك ذلك ومثله ومِثْلُه ومِثْلُه ومِثْلُه، فيقول في الخامِسة. رَضِيْتُ رَبِّ، فيقول: هذا لك وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِه، ولك ما اشْتَهَتْ نَفْسُكَ، وَلَذَّتْ عَيْنُكَ. فيقول: رَضِيتُ رَبِّ. قال: رَبِّ فَأَعْلاَهُمْ مَنْزِلَة؟ قال: أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ أَرَدْتُ غَرَسْتُ كَرامَتَهُم بِيَدِي، وخَتَمْتُ عليها، فلم تَر عَيْنٌ، ولم تسمع أُذُنٌ، ولم يَخْطُر على قَلْب بَشَر». وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «إنِّي لأَعْلَمُ آخِر أَهل النَّارِ خُرُوجًا منها، وآخِر أهل الجنَّة دخولًا الجنَّة. رَجُل يخرج من النَّار حَبْوا، فيقول الله عز وجل له: اذهب فادخل الجنَّة، فيَأتِيَها، فَيُخَيَّل إليه أَنَّها مَلْأَى، فيرجع، فيقول: يا رب وجَدُتها مَلْأَى! فيقول الله عز وجل له: اذهب فادخل الجَنَّة، فيأتيها، فَيُخَيَّل إليه أَنَّها مَلْأَى، فيرجع فيقول: يا ربِّ وجَدُتها مَلْأَى، فيقول الله عز وجل له: اذهب فادخل الجَنَّة، فإن لك مثل الدنيا وَعَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِهَا؛ أو إن لك مثل عَشَرَةَ أَمْثَالِ الدُّنْيَا، فيقول: أَتَسْخَرُ بِي، أو تضحك بِي وأنت الْمَلِكُ!». قال: فلقد رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ضَحِك حتى بَدَت نَوَاجِذُه فكان يقول: «ذلك أَدْنَى أهل الجَنَّة مَنْزِلة».

  Al-Mughīrah ibn Shu‘bah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Mūsa (peace be upon him) asked his Lord: 'Who amongst the inhabitants of Paradise will be the lowest in rank?'

He is a man who will emerge from Hellfire crawling, and Allah, the Almighty, will say to him: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ When he arrives, it will appear to him that it is full. He will say: ‘O Lord, I have found it full.’ Allah, the Almighty, will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise, for you will have the like of the world and ten times more - or you will have ten times the like of the world.’ He will say: ‘Are You mocking me - or are You laughing at me - while You are the King?’” Ibn Mas‘ūd said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) smiling so broadly that his molar teeth could be seen. He then said: "That is the lowest in rank among the people of Paradise!”

  عَنِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «تُدْنَى الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ، حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ كَمِقْدَارِ مِيلٍ»، قَالَ سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ: فَوَاللهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا يَعْنِي بِالْمِيلِ؟ أَمَسَافَةَ الْأَرْضِ، أَمِ الْمِيلَ الَّذِي تُكْتَحَلُ بِهِ الْعَيْنُ قَالَ: «فَيَكُونُ النَّاسُ عَلَى قَدْرِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ فِي الْعَرَقِ، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ إِلَى حَقْوَيْهِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُلْجِمُهُ الْعَرَقُ إِلْجَامًا» قَالَ: وَأَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى فِيهِ.

  Al-Miqdād ibn al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "On the Day of Judgment, the sun will be brought close to the people until it is only a Mīl away from them." Sulaym ibn ‘Ᾱmir said: By Allah, I do not know what he meant by "mīl". Is it the distance of the earth, or the "mīl" used as kohl for the eyes? He said: "People will be in sweat according to their deeds. Some will be up to their ankles, some up to their knees, some up to their waist, while others will be bridled by sweat." He said: And the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his hand to his mouth.

• For you is what you wished, and the like of it along with it

  عَن أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَدْنَى مَقْعَدِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ: تَمَنَّ فَيَتَمَنَّى، وَيَتَمَنَّى، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: هَلْ تَمَنَّيْتَ؟ فَيَقُولُ: نَعَمْ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: فَإِنَّ لَكَ مَا تَمَنَّيْتَ وَمِثْلَهُ مَعَهُ».

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the lowest position of one of you in Paradise is that He will say to him: Wish, and he will wish and wish. Then He will say to him: Did you wish? And he will say: Yes. Then He will say to him: For you is what you wished, and the like of it along with it."

• Allah will gather the people, the first and the last, in one place, where they will hear the caller and they will be sighted clearly. The sun will draw near, and people will be overwhelmed with anguish and distress that they cannot endure or bear

  عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِلَحْمٍ فَرُفِعَ إِلَيْهِ الذِّرَاعُ، وَكَانَتْ تُعْجِبُهُ فَنَهَشَ مِنْهَا نَهْشَةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ، وَهَلْ تَدْرُونَ مِمَّ ذَلِكَ؟ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ الأَوَّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ، يُسْمِعُهُمُ الدَّاعِي وَيَنْفُذُهُمُ البَصَرُ، وَتَدْنُو الشَّمْسُ، فَيَبْلُغُ النَّاسَ مِنَ الغَمِّ وَالكَرْبِ مَا لاَ يُطِيقُونَ وَلاَ يَحْتَمِلُونَ، فَيَقُولُ النَّاسُ: أَلاَ تَرَوْنَ مَا قَدْ بَلَغَكُمْ، أَلاَ تَنْظُرُونَ مَنْ يَشْفَعُ لَكُمْ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ لِبَعْضٍ: عَلَيْكُمْ بِآدَمَ، فَيَأْتُونَ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فَيَقُولُونَ لَهُ: أَنْتَ أَبُو البَشَرِ، خَلَقَكَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ، وَنَفَخَ فِيكَ مِنْ رُوحِهِ، وَأَمَرَ المَلاَئِكَةَ فَسَجَدُوا لَكَ، اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ، أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ، أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى مَا قَدْ بَلَغَنَا؟ فَيَقُولُ آدَمُ: إِنَّ رَبِّي قَدْ غَضِبَ اليَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ نَهَانِي عَنِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَعَصَيْتُهُ، نَفْسِي نَفْسِي نَفْسِي، اذْهَبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِي، اذْهَبُوا إِلَى نُوحٍ، فَيَأْتُونَ نُوحًا فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا نُوحُ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَوَّلُ الرُّسُلِ إِلَى أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ، وَقَدْ سَمَّاكَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا، اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ، أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ فَيَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ غَضِبَ اليَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَإِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَتْ لِي دَعْوَةٌ دَعَوْتُهَا عَلَى قَوْمِي، نَفْسِي نَفْسِي نَفْسِي، اذْهَبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِي، اذْهَبُوا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَيَأْتُونَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ أَنْتَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ وَخَلِيلُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ، اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ: إِنَّ رَبِّي قَدْ غَضِبَ اليَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ كَذَبْتُ ثَلاَثَ كَذِبَاتٍ، نَفْسِي نَفْسِي نَفْسِي، اذْهَبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِي، اذْهَبُوا إِلَى مُوسَى فَيَأْتُونَ، مُوسَى فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا مُوسَى أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، فَضَّلَكَ اللَّهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَبِكَلاَمِهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ، اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ، أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ فَيَقُولُ: إِنَّ رَبِّي قَدْ غَضِبَ اليَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَإِنِّي قَدْ قَتَلْتُ نَفْسًا لَمْ أُومَرْ بِقَتْلِهَا، نَفْسِي نَفْسِي نَفْسِي، اذْهَبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِي، اذْهَبُوا إِلَى عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ، فَيَأْتُونَ عِيسَى، فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا عِيسَى أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُ، وَكَلَّمْتَ النَّاسَ فِي المَهْدِ صَبِيًّا، اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ؟ فَيَقُولُ عِيسَى: إِنَّ رَبِّي قَدْ غَضِبَ اليَوْمَ غَضَبًا لَمْ يَغْضَبْ قَبْلَهُ مِثْلَهُ قَطُّ، وَلَنْ يَغْضَبَ بَعْدَهُ مِثْلَهُ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ ذَنْبًا، نَفْسِي نَفْسِي نَفْسِي اذْهَبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِي اذْهَبُوا إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، فَيَأْتُونَ مُحَمَّدًا فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَخَاتِمُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ، اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ أَلاَ تَرَى إِلَى مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ، فَأَنْطَلِقُ فَآتِي تَحْتَ العَرْشِ، فَأَقَعُ سَاجِدًا لِرَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ مَحَامِدِهِ وَحُسْنِ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئًا، لَمْ يَفْتَحْهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ قَبْلِي، ثُمَّ يُقَالُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ، وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ فَأَرْفَعُ رَأْسِي، فَأَقُولُ: أُمَّتِي يَا رَبِّ، أُمَّتِي يَا رَبِّ، أُمَّتِي يَا رَبِّ، فَيُقَالُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَدْخِلْ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ مَنْ لاَ حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ البَابِ الأَيْمَنِ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الجَنَّةِ، وَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ النَّاسِ فِيمَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الأَبْوَابِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، إِنَّ مَا بَيْنَ المِصْرَاعَيْنِ مِنْ مَصَارِيعِ الجَنَّةِ، كَمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَحِمْيَرَ -أَوْ كَمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَبُصْرَى-».

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was brought some meat, and the forearm was presented to him, and he used to like it, so he took a bite from it and then said: "I am the master of the people on the Day of Judgment, and do you know why? Allah will gather the people, the first and the last, in one place, where they will hear the caller and they will be sighted clearly. The sun will draw near, and people will be overwhelmed with anguish and distress that they cannot endure or bear. People will say: Do you not see what has befallen you all? Will you not look for someone to intercede for you with your Lord? Then some of the people will say to others: Go to Adam. They will come to Adam (peace be upon him) and say: You are the father of mankind; Allah created you with His Own Hand, breathed into you from His Spirit, and commanded the angels to prostrate to you. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see what we are going through? Do you not see what has befallen us? Adam will say: Indeed, my Lord is so angry today as He has never been before and will never be after. He has forbidden me from the tree, and I disobeyed Him. Myself, myself, myself! Go to someone else; go to Nūh (Noah). They will come to Noah and say: O Noah, you are the first of the messengers to the people of the earth, and Allah has named you a grateful slave. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see what we are going through? He will say: Indeed, my Lord is so angry today, as He has never been before and will never be after. I had a supplication that I made against my people. Myself, myself, myself! Go to someone else; go to Ibrāhīm (Abraham). They will come to Abraham and say: O Abraham, you are the Prophet of Allah and His close Friend from the people of the earth. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see what we are going through? He will say: Indeed, my Lord is so angry today as He has never been before and will never be after. I have told three lies. Myself, myself, myself! Go to someone else; go to Mūsa (Moses). They will come to Moses and say: O Moses, you are the Messenger of Allah; Allah has favored you with His message and His speech over the people. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see what we are going through? He will say: Indeed, my Lord is so angry today as He has never been before and will never be after. I killed a soul that I was not commanded to kill. Myself, myself, myself! Go to someone else; go to ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Mary. They will come to Jesus and say: O Jesus, you are the Messenger of Allah, and His Word which He cast to Mary, and a Spirit from Him, and you spoke to the people in the cradle as a baby. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see what we are going through? Jesus will say: Indeed, my Lord is so angry today as He has never been before and will never be after, and he did not mention a sin. Myself, myself, myself! Go to someone else; go to Muhammad. They will come to Muhammad and say: O Muhammad, you are the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. Allah has forgiven you what has preceded and what was later of your sin. Intercede for us with your Lord. Do you not see what we are going through? I will then set off and come beneath the Throne and fall in prostration to my Lord, Exalted and Glorified be He, and then Allah will inspire me with some forms of His praise and glorification that He has not inspired anyone with before me. Then it will be said: O Muhammad, raise your head; ask, and it will be granted to you, and intercede, and your intercession will be accepted. I will raise my head and say: My nation, O Lord! My nation, O Lord! My nation, O Lord! It will be said: O Muhammad, admit from your nation those who have no reckoning from the right gate of the gates of Paradise, and they will share with people in the other gates. Then he said: By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, what lies between the two gateposts of the gates of Paradise is like the distance between Makkah and Himyar—or as the distance between Makkah and Busra -".

• The first group to enter Paradise will be like the full moon on its brightest night, and those who will follow them will be like the brightest shining star in the sky

  عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ أَوَّلَ زُمْرَةٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الجَنَّةَ عَلَى صُورَةِ القَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ البَدْرِ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ عَلَى أَشَدِّ كَوْكَبٍ دُرِّيٍّ فِي السَّمَاءِ إِضَاءَةً، لاَ يَبُولُونَ وَلاَ يَتَغَوَّطُونَ، وَلاَ يَتْفِلُونَ وَلاَ يَمْتَخِطُونَ، أَمْشَاطُهُمُ الذَّهَبُ، وَرَشْحُهُمُ المِسْكُ، وَمَجَامِرُهُمْ الأَلُوَّةُ الأَنْجُوجُ، عُودُ الطِّيبِ وَأَزْوَاجُهُمُ الحُورُ العِينُ، عَلَى خَلْقِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ، عَلَى صُورَةِ أَبِيهِمْ آدَمَ، سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا فِي السَّمَاءِ».

  Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The first group to enter Paradise will be like the full moon on its brightest night, and those who will follow them will be like the brightest shining star in the sky. They will not urinate, defecate, spit, or blow their noses. Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat will smell like musk. Their censers will be the aloes-wood and their wives will be the houris. All of them will look alike and will resemble their father Adam, sixty cubits tall."

• So when you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaws

  عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضيَ اللهُ عنهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «فِي الجَنَّةِ مِائَةُ دَرَجَةٍ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ، وَالْفِرْدَوْسُ أَعْلاَهَا دَرَجَةً وَمِنْهَا تُفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الجَنَّةِ الأَرْبَعَةُ، وَمِنْ فَوْقِهَا يَكُونُ العَرْشُ، فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَسَلُوهُ الفِرْدَوْسَ».

  ‘Ubādah ibn as-Sāmit (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In Paradise, there are a hundred degrees; the distance between each two degrees is like the distance between the heavens and the earth. The highest of them in degree is Al-Firdaws, and from it flow the four rivers of Paradise, and above it is the Throne. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaws."
