It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), as Hammad thought, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection a man will meet his father and will say: 'O my dear father, what kind of son was I to you?' He will say: 'The best of sons.' The son will say: 'Will you obey me today in one thing I ask of you?' He will say: 'Yes.' The son will say: 'Take hold of my hand.' So he will take his hand, and he will go with him until he comes before the Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, while He is reviewing the creation. Allah Almighty will say: 'O son of Adam, enter Paradise by whichever of its gates you wish.' He will say: 'O my Lord, and my father is with me; You promised me that You would not disgrace me.' Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will turn away from him and turn to the creation, reviewing them; then He will turn to him and say: 'O son of Adam, enter Paradise by whichever of its gates you wish.' He will again say: 'O my Lord, and my father is with me; You promised me that You would not disgrace me.' Allah Almighty will again turn away from him and turn to the creation, reviewing them; then He will say: 'O son of Adam, enter Paradise by whichever of its gates you wish.' He will again say: 'O my Lord, and my father is with me; You promised me that You would not disgrace me.' Then Allah Almighty will transform his father into a male hyena with a swollen belly (or of a tawny colour), and he will be thrown into Hell. Then Allah Almighty will speak, and taking hold of him by the tip of his nose, will say: 'Is this your father?' He will say: 'No, by Your might, this is not my father.'"
Imam Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "We used to say among ourselves that he (the father) is Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him)."
