Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 561

Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil narrates that he heard Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) say: I learned about a man that he had heard a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So I bought a camel, fastened my saddle on it, and travelled for a month until I reached Syria. That man was Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Unays (may Allah be pleased with him). I said to the doorkeeper: "Tell him: Jabir is at the door." The doorkeeper asked: "The son of Abdullah?" I replied: "Yes." So Abdullah bin Unays came out treading on his garment (that is, in haste) and embraced me. I said: "I have learned about a hadith from you, that you heard it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); it is about retribution (qisas, that is, settling of rights on the Day of Resurrection). I feared that you or I might die before I heard it." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Unays (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah Almighty will gather the people (the narrator is unsure, or perhaps the words are:) the servants, naked, uncircumcised and 'buhm'." (The narrator says: We asked: "What does 'buhm' mean?" He said: "They will have nothing with them.") "Then Allah Almighty will call out to them with a voice that one who is far will hear just as one who is near hears it, (saying): 'I am al-Dayyan (the Judge), I am the Sovereign. It is not fitting for any of the people of Hell to enter Hell while he owes a right to any of the people of Paradise, until I have settled it for him; and it is not fitting for any of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise while he owes a right to any of the people of Hell, until I have settled it, even if it is the matter of a slap.'" The narrator says: We said: "How can this (retribution) happen, when we will come (to the plain of gathering) naked, uncircumcised and with nothing with us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(On the Day of Resurrection, in recompense, there will be an exchange of) good deeds and bad deeds."
Imam Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains the narrator Abdullah bin Muhammad, who is da'if (weak).
