Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4542 — The description of the resurrection

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "I certainly know the last person of my Ummah who will cross the Sirat. He will be a man who writhes, trembles and stumbles along the Sirat, just as a child shows distress when his father brings him near (something he dislikes). Sometimes his hand will slip and the heat of the Fire will reach it, and sometimes his foot will slip and the Fire will catch hold of it." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then the angels will say to him: 'What do you think: if Allah Almighty delivers you from this (painful) place of yours and you walk upright, will you tell us about all the deeds you did (in the world)?' He will say: 'Yes, by the might of Allah! I will not conceal any deed of mine at all.'" He said: "Then the angels will say to him: 'Get up and now walk upright.' So he will stand and walk (safely) across the Sirat. When he has crossed, the angels will say to him: 'Now tell us about the deeds you did.' He will think to himself: 'If I tell them about my real misdeeds, they will push me back to my former place (near the Fire).' So he will say (in denial): 'No, by the might of Allah! I have never committed a single sin.'" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then the angels will say to him: 'We have clear proof and testimony against you.' He will turn to look right and left to see whether he can see any human who was a witness (to his deeds) in the world, but he will see no one there. Then he will say (demanding): 'Bring your testimony!' At that, Allah Almighty will seal his mouth, and his own hands, his feet and his thigh will begin testifying to his deeds. Then he will cry out humbly (when the truth is laid bare): 'Yes, O my Lord! By Your might! I certainly committed all those sins, and I have great destructive crimes as well.'" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Allah, Glorified and Exalted, will say to him (out of His perfect mercy): 'Go, I have forgiven you all those sins.'"
The chain of this hadith is hasan (good). Imam Abu Ya'la recorded it in his Musnad (7642), and Imam Ahmad also narrated it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
