Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Bridge of Sirat will be placed over Hell. It will have thorns like the plant called Sa'dan. Then people will begin to cross it. Some will attain salvation safely. Some will be scratched but will be saved. Some will be seized and thrown into it. When Allah Almighty has finished judging His servants, the believers will not see some people who used to pray in the world, give zakat, fast, perform Hajj, and strive in jihad. The believers will say: O our Lord! Some of Your servants used to pray in the world, give zakat, fast, perform Hajj, and strive in jihad, but now we do not see them? Allah Almighty will say: Go towards Hell, and take out from it whomever you recognize among them. They will go towards Hell, and the fire will have seized people according to their deeds. Some will have fire up to their feet, some up to half their shins, some up to their knees, some up to their bellies, some up to their chests, and some up to their necks. Then they will be dipped into the Water of Life. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the Water of Life? He said: It is the water with which the people of Paradise will bathe. Then they will sprout forth just as crops grow from water. Then the Prophets will intercede for those who said "La ilaha illallah" (There is no god but Allah) with sincerity. Then Allah Almighty will bestow further mercy upon the people of Hell and will remove from Hell every person in whose heart there is even a grain's weight of faith.
