Hadith Commentary:
(1)
In another narration of Sahih al-Bukhari, it is stated that when the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the people of Hell enter Hell, death will be brought forth between them and slaughtered. Then the aforementioned announcement will be made so that the people of Paradise experience utmost joy and the people of Hell experience utmost grief.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Riqaq, Hadith: 6548) (2)
The purpose of mentioning these hadiths under this heading is to clarify that whoever enters Paradise will not be a guest for just a few days, but will remain therein forever. However, those who enter first, without reckoning, will have an additional distinction in that they will not have to pass through the severe and backbreaking stage of accounting.
(Fath al-Bari: 11/504)
And Allah knows best.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Death is an existent entity which, on the Day of Resurrection, will appear in a tangible form.
➋
The purpose of manifesting death in a tangible form is so that neither of the two parties (the people of Paradise and the people of Hell) will have any doubt regarding the cessation of death.
➌
The slaughtering of death will be a cause of increased joy for the people of Paradise, and a cause of increased sorrow for the people of Hell.
➍
This announcement will be made after those who are saved due to intercession have entered Paradise, and only those will remain in Hell for whom the decree of eternal abode (khulud) has been established.
