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 .
´‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr narrated that 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).”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ On the Day of Resurrection, some people will enter Paradise without any reckoning.
See: (Hadith: 4286)
And among those who will enter Hell, there will also be some whose deeds will not be weighed, because all their good deeds will have been lost.
See: (Surah al-Kahf: 18: 105)
➋ The weight of good deeds depends on sincerity of intention and adherence to the Sunnah.
The more sincerely a good deed is performed, and the more it conforms to the Sunnah, the greater its weight will be.
➌ Bearing witness to the testimony of faith—that is, believing in the Oneness of Allah and the Messengership (Tawhid and Risalah) with the heart—is such an act that all previous sins are forgiven through it.
Therefore, if a person, after embracing faith, does not get the opportunity to perform righteous deeds and passes away, then his testimony of faith will suffice for his salvation.
The person mentioned in the hadith is such an individual.
➍ The testimony of faith will not save the one who, after accepting Islam, does not act accordingly, from entering Hell.
However, after suffering the punishment for his sins, he will be taken out of Hell, and due to the testimony of faith, he will attain salvation.
➎ Whoever uttered the testimony of faith only with the tongue, without having conviction in the heart, is a hypocrite (munafiq) who will abide eternally in Hell.
His punishment is more severe than that of the common disbeliever.
Allah the Exalted has said:
﴿إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِيْنَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الأَسْفَلَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُمْ نَصِيْرًا﴾ (al-Nisa 4/145)
“Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire, and you will never find for them any helper.”
➏ This hadith is well-known among the scholars as the Hadith of the Card (Hadith al-Bitaqah).
This hadith appears to be a manifestation of the special mercy and perfect kindness of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, for the sinful believers.
And Allah knows best.
