Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 9728 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Allah Almighty will

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty will gather the first and the last at the appointed time of a known Day. They will stand for forty years, their gazes fixed upon the sky, awaiting the judgement." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty will descend in canopies of clouds from the Throne to the Footstool (Kursi). Then a caller will call out: O people! Are you not content with your Lord, who created you, provided for you, and commanded you to worship Him and associate nothing with Him, that He should entrust every group to that (deity) which they followed and worshipped in religion? Is that not justice from your Lord? They will say: Certainly. He said: Then let every group go to what they used to worship in the world. He said: So they will set off, and the things they used to worship will be made to appear before them in bodily form. Some of them will go to the sun, some to the moon, and some to idols of stone and things like those they used to worship. For whoever used to worship Isa (peace be upon him), the devil of Isa will be made to appear, and for whoever used to worship Uzayr, the devil of Uzayr will be made to appear, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Ummah will remain. Then the Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, will appear (in a manner befitting His majesty), come to them and say: What is the matter with you that you do not go as the (other) people have gone? They will say: We have a God whom we have not yet seen. He will say: Would you recognise Him if you saw Him? They will say: Between us and Him there is a sign; when we see it we will recognise it. He will say: What is it? They will say: He will uncover His Shin. At that moment the Shin will be uncovered, and everyone whose back has the suppleness (for prostration) will fall down in prostration, and a people will remain whose backs are like the horns of cattle (stiff); they will want to prostrate but will not be able to, though they used to be called to prostration when they were safe and sound. Then He will say: Raise your heads. They will raise their heads, and He will give them their light according to their deeds. Some of them will be given light like a great mountain, running before him; some will be given less than that; some will be given light like a palm tree in his right hand; some will be given less than that; until there will be a man who is given his light only on the big toe of his foot, which shines at one time and goes out at another; when it shines he steps forward and walks, and when it goes out he stops. And the Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, will be ahead of them until He passes through the Fire, and its trace will be like the edge of a sword, slippery and treacherous. And He will say: Pass over. So they will pass according to their light: some will pass like the blink of an eye, some like lightning, some like a cloud, some like a shooting star, some like the wind, some like a galloping horse, some like a running man, until the one who was given his light only on the big toe of his foot passes, crawling on his face, hands and feet; one foot falls while the other catches, and the Fire touches his sides, and he remains like this until he gets clear. When he gets clear, he will stand by it and say: All praise is for Allah; Allah has given me what He has given no one, in that He saved me from it after I had seen it. Then he will be taken to a pool by the gate of Paradise; he will bathe, and the fragrance and colour of the people of Paradise will return to him. He will look at Paradise through the gap in the gate and say: O my Lord! Admit me into Paradise. Allah Almighty will say to him: Do you ask for Paradise when I have saved you from Hell? He will say: O my Lord! Place a screen between me and it (Hell), so that I do not even hear its sound. So he will enter Paradise. He will see - or there will be raised up for him - a dwelling ahead, as though it were a dream to him, and he will say: O Lord! Give me that dwelling. Allah Almighty will say: Perhaps if I give it to you, you will ask for something else. He will say: No, by Your might! I will not ask for anything besides it; and what dwelling could be better than it? Then he will see - or there will be raised up for him - another dwelling ahead, as though it were a dream, and he will say: Give me that dwelling. Allah, Exalted be His majesty, will say: Perhaps if I give it to you, you will ask for something else. He will say: No, by Your might! I will not ask for anything else; and what dwelling could be better than it? So it will be given to him and he will settle in it, then he will fall silent. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will say: What is the matter with you that you do not ask? He will say: O Lord! I have asked You so much that I feel shy before You, and I have sworn to You so much that I feel shy before You. Allah Almighty will say: Are you not content that I give you the like of the world, from the day I created it until the day I brought it to an end, and ten times as much? He will say: Are You mocking me, when You are the Lord of Might? And the Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, will laugh at what he says." (The narrator said:) I saw Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) laugh whenever he reached this point of this hadith. A man said to him: O Abu Abd al-Rahman! I have heard you narrate this hadith several times, and whenever you reach this point you laugh. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrate this hadith several times, and whenever he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached this point he laughed until his (peace and blessings be upon him) molars appeared. He said: The Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, will say: But I am able to do that; ask. He will say: Join me with the (other) people. He will say: Go and join the people. He said: So he will go briskly through Paradise, and when he draws near the people, a palace of pearl will be raised up for him, and he will fall down in prostration. It will be said to him: Raise your head; what is the matter with you? He will say: I saw my Lord - or: my Lord appeared to me. It will be said to him: This is only one of your dwellings. He said: Then he will meet a man and make ready to prostrate to him, and it will be said to him: Stop! What is the matter with you? He will say: I thought you were one of the angels. He will say: I am only one of your treasurers, one of your servants; under me are a thousand stewards, all like me. He said: He will go ahead of him until he opens the palace for him. He said: That palace will be in a hollow pearl; its roofs, doors, locks and keys will all be of that pearl. A green jewel lined with red will meet him; every jewel will lead to another jewel of a colour different from the other; in every jewel there will be couches, wives and maidservants, the lowest of whom will be a wide-eyed houri wearing seventy garments, the marrow of whose shin will be seen through her garments. Her heart will be his mirror and his heart will be her mirror. When he turns away from her for a moment, she will become seventy times more (beautiful) in his eyes than she was before, and when she turns away from him for a moment, he will become seventy times more (handsome) in her eyes than he was before. He will say to her: By Allah! You have increased seventy times in my eyes. And she will say to him: And you, by Allah! You too have increased seventy times in my eyes. It will be said to him: Look out. He said: He will look out, and it will be said to him: Your dominion extends a hundred years' journey, and your sight will reach its farthest end.
The narrator said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Ka'b! Do you hear what Ibn Umm Abd (Ibn Mas'ud) is telling us about the one of the lowest rank in Paradise? Then (think) what will be the state of the one of the highest rank! Ka'b said: O Commander of the Believers! It is something no eye has seen and no ear has heard. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, made an abode and placed in it what He willed of wives, fruits and drinks, then He sealed it, and none of His creation has seen it, neither Jibril nor any other angel. Then Ka'b recited this verse: "No soul knows what delight of the eyes has been hidden for them as a reward for what they used to do" [Surah Al-Sajdah: 17]. Ka'b said: And besides that (lofty abode) Allah created two other gardens, adorned them as He willed, and showed them to whomever of His creation He willed. Then he said: Whoever's record of deeds is in Illiyyin will settle in that abode which no one has seen, so much so that when a man of the people of Illiyyin goes out and travels through his dominion, there will remain no tent among the tents of Paradise but that the light of his face enters it, and they will rejoice at his fragrance and say: How excellent is this fragrance! This is a man of the people of Illiyyin who has gone out to travel through his dominion. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Woe to you, O Ka'b! These hearts have become very expansive (with your words); now restrain them somewhat. Ka'b said: By the One in whose hand is my soul! On the Day of Resurrection Hell will let out such a roar that there will be no angel brought near and no prophet sent but that he falls on his knees, so much so that even Ibrahim, the Friend of Allah (peace be upon him), will say: O Lord! Myself, myself! Even if you had the deeds of seventy prophets along with your own deeds, you would think that you would not be saved."
