Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4557 — The description of the resurrection

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that, describing the conditions of the Day of Resurrection, he said: "When it is the Day of Resurrection, the earth will be stretched out like leather to such-and-such an extent according to its breadth, and all creatures, jinn and humans, will be gathered on a single bare plain. When that stage comes, this lowest heaven will be opened up together with its inhabitants (for the people of the earth), and the angels will spread out over the surface of the earth. The angels of the first heaven alone will be twice as many as all the people of the earth, that is, the jinn and humans together. When they scatter over the surface of the earth, the people of the earth will be terrified by their awesomeness and will ask: 'Is our Lord among you?' The angels will tremble at what they say and will reply: 'Subhana rabbina laysa huwa fina, wa huwa at' (Glory be to our Lord! He is not among us, and He is coming). Then the angels of the second heaven will be brought; the angels of the second heaven alone will be twice as many as the angels of the lowest heaven and all the people of the earth together. When they spread over the people of the earth, the people of the earth, in fear, will ask them the same question: 'Is our Lord among you?' They too will be alarmed at what they say and give the same answer: 'Glory be to our Lord! He is not among us; rather, He is about to come.' Then all the heavens will be folded up one after another, and the angels of each heaven will be twice the total number of the angels of all the heavens below it and the people of the earth. Whenever they descend to the earth, the people of the earth, terrified by their awesomeness, will ask the same question and they will give the same answer. Then the angels of the seventh heaven will be brought, whose number will be twice that of the angels of the six heavens and all the people of the earth together. Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will appear among them (in a manner befitting His majesty), while all the nations will be kneeling in rows. Then a caller will call out: 'Today you will come to know who are the people of honour and nobility. Let those stand who used to praise their Lord abundantly in every state.' So they will set off towards Paradise. Then that caller will call out a second time: 'Today you will come to know who are the people of honour. Let those stand about whom the Exalted Lord has said: "Their sides forsake their beds" [Surah al-Sajdah: 16].' They will stand and set off towards Paradise. Then he will call out a third time: 'Let those stand about whom it was said: "Men whom neither trade nor selling distracts from the remembrance of Allah" [Surah al-Nur: 37].' They will stand and go towards Paradise. When these three groups (of the people of Paradise) have been set apart, a neck will emerge from the Fire and loom over all creatures; it will have two seeing eyes and an eloquent tongue. It will say: 'I have been put in charge of three kinds of people; I have been appointed over every stubborn tyrant who was an enemy of the truth.' Then it will snatch them out of the rows as a bird picks up sesame seeds, and take them and throw them into Hell. Then it will come out a second time and say: 'I have been put in charge of those who harmed Allah and His Messenger.' It will pick them too out of the rows as a bird picks up grain, and seat them in the fire of Hell. Then it will come out a third time (the narrator said: I think he said) and say: 'I have been put in charge of the makers of images.' Then it will pick them too out of the rows as a bird picks up grain, and send them into Hell. When these three groups (the people of Paradise) and these three groups (the people of Hell) have been dealt with, the records of deeds will be opened, the scales will be set up and all creatures will be summoned for the general reckoning."
This narration is mawquf, and its chain is hasan (good).
