Hadith 183
وحَدَّثَنِي وحَدَّثَنِي سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي حَفْصُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، " أَنَّ نَاسًا فِي زَمَنِ ِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَلْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : هَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ الشَّمْسِ بِالظَّهِيرَةِ ، صَحْوًا لَيْسَ مَعَهَا سَحَابٌ ؟ وَهَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ ، صَحْوًا لَيْسَ فِيهَا سَحَابٌ ؟ قَالُوا : لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : مَا تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، إِلَّا كَمَا تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ أَحَدِهِمَا ، إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ لِيَتَّبِعْ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ مَا كَانَتْ تَعْبُدُ ، فَلَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ غَيْرَ اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ مِنَ الأَصْنَامِ ، وَالأَنْصَابِ ، إِلَّا يَتَسَاقَطُونَ فِي النَّارِ حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ مِنْ بَرٍّ ، وَفَاجِرٍ ، وَغُبَّرِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ ، فَيُدْعَى الْيَهُودُ ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ : مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ ؟ قَالُوا : كُنَّا نَعْبُدُ عُزَيْرَ ابْنَ اللَّهِ ، فَيُقَالُ : كَذَبْتُمْ ، مَا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ مِنْ صَاحِبَةٍ ، وَلَا وَلَدٍ ، فَمَاذَا تَبْغُونَ ؟ قَالُوا : عَطِشْنَا يَا رَبَّنَا فَاسْقِنَا ، فَيُشَارُ إِلَيْهِمْ أَلَا تَرِدُونَ ، فَيُحْشَرُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ ، كَأَنَّهَا سَرَابٌ يَحْطِمُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا ، فَيَتَسَاقَطُونَ فِي النَّارِ ، ثُمَّ يُدْعَى النَّصَارَى ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ : مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ

حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى مِنْ بَرٍّ ، وَفَاجِرٍ ، أَتَاهُمْ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى فِي أَدْنَى صُورَةٍ مِنَ الَّتِي رَأَوْهُ فِيهَا ، قَالَ : فَمَا تَنْتَظِرُونَ ، تَتْبَعُ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ مَا كَانَتْ تَعْبُدُ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَبَّنَا ، فَارَقْنَا النَّاسَ فِي الدُّنْيَا ، أَفْقَرَ مَا كُنَّا إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَمْ نُصَاحِبْهُمْ ،

الشَّفَاعَةُ ، وَيَقُولُونَ : اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْ سَلِّمْ ، قِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا الْجِسْرُ ؟ قَالَ : دَحْضٌ مَزِلَّةٌ فِيهِ خَطَاطِيفُ ، وَكَلَالِيبُ ، وَحَسَكٌ تَكُونُ بِنَجْدٍ فِيهَا شُوَيْكَةٌ ، يُقَالُ لَهَا : السَّعْدَانُ ، فَيَمُرُّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ كَطَرْفِ الْعَيْنِ ، وَكَالْبَرْقِ ، وَكَالرِّيحِ ، وَكَالطَّيْرِ ، وَكَأَجَاوِيدِ الْخَيْلِ وَالرِّكَابِ ، فَنَاجٍ مُسَلَّمٌ ،

فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ : أَخْرِجُوا مَنْ عَرَفْتُمْ ، فَتُحَرَّمُ صُوَرُهُمْ عَلَى النَّار ، فَيُخْرِجُونَ خَلْقًا كَثِيرًا قَدْ أَخَذَتِ النَّارُ إِلَى نِصْفِ سَاقَيْهِ وَإِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ ، ثُمَّ

كَثِيرًا ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ : رَبَّنَا لَمْ نَذَرْ فِيهَا أَحَدًا مِمَّنْ أَمَرْتَنَا ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : ارْجِعُوا فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ نِصْفِ دِينَارٍ مِنَ خَيْرٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ ، فَيُخْرِجُونَ خَلْقًا كَثِيرًا ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ : رَبَّنَا لَمْ نَذَرْ فِيهَا مِمَّنْ أَمَرْتَنَا أَحَدًا ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : ارْجِعُوا فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ خَيْر ، فَأَخْرِجُوهُ فَيُخْرِجُونَ خَلْقًا كَثِيرًا ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُونَ : رَبَّنَا لَمْ نَذَرْ فِيهَا خَيْرًا ، وَكَانَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ ، يَقُولُ : إِنْ لَمْ تُصَدِّقُونِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، فَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ : إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِنْ تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِنْ لَدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا سورة النساء آية 40 ، فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : شَفَعَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ ، وَشَفَعَ النَّبِيُّونَ ، وَشَفَعَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ ، وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ، فَيَقْبِضُ قَبْضَةً مِنَ النَّارِ ، فَيُخْرِجُ مِنْهَا قَوْمًا لَمْ يَعْمَلُوا خَيْرًا قَطُّ ، قَدْ عَادُوا حُمَمًا ، فَيُلْقِيهِمْ فِي نَهَرٍ فِي أَفْوَاهِ الْجَنَّةِ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : نَهَرُ الْحَيَاةِ ، فَيَخْرُجُونَ كَمَا تَخْرُجُ الْحِبَّةُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ أَلَا تَرَوْنَهَا تَكُونُ إِلَى الْحَجَرِ أَوْ إِلَى الشَّجَرِ ، مَا يَكُونُ إِلَى الشَّمْسِ ، أُصَيْفِرُ ، وَأُخَيْضِرُ ، وَمَا يَكُونُ مِنْهَا إِلَى الظِّلِّ يَكُونُ أَبْيَضَ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ تَرْعَى بِالْبَادِيَةِ ؟ قَالَ : فَيَخْرُجُونَ كَاللُّؤْلُؤِ فِي رِقَابِهِمُ الْخَوَاتِمُ ، يَعْرِفُهُمْ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ هَؤُلَاءِ عُتَقَاءُ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ أَدْخَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ عَمِلُوهُ ، وَلَا خَيْرٍ قَدَّمُوهُ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : رَبَّنَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا مَا لَمْ تُعْطِ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : لَكُمْ عِنْدِي أَفْضَلُ مِنْ هَذَا ، فَيَقُولُونَ : يَا رَبَّنَا ، أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ هَذَا ؟ فَيَقُولُ : رِضَايَ ، فَلَا أَسْخَطُ عَلَيْكُمْ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا .
Hafs bin Maisarah narrated from Zaid bin Aslam, who narrated from Ata bin Yasar, and he narrated from Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during his time: "O Messenger of Allah! Will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." He said: "Do you have any difficulty seeing the sun at noon when the sky is clear and there are no clouds?" And he said: "Do you have any difficulty seeing the full moon on a clear night when there are no clouds?" The companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! No!" He said: "On the Day of Resurrection, you will have no more difficulty seeing Allah, Blessed and Exalted, than you have in seeing either of these." When the Day of Resurrection comes, a caller will announce: 'Every nation should follow what it used to worship.' No one will remain who used to worship idols and stones besides Allah except that he will fall into the Fire, until only those who worshipped Allah remain, whether righteous or wicked, and none will remain except the remnants of the People of the Book (from later times). Then the Jews will be called and it will be said to them: 'What did you worship?' They will say: 'We worshipped Uzair, the son of Allah.' It will be said: 'You have lied, Allah did not take a wife nor a son. So what do you want now?' They will say: 'O Lord! We are thirsty, give us water to drink.' They will be pointed to: 'Why don't you go to the water?' Then they will be gathered and driven towards the Fire, which will appear like a mirage, one part destroying the other, and they will all fall into the Fire one after another. Then the Christians will be called and it will be said to them: 'What did you worship?' They will say: 'We worshipped the Messiah, the son of Allah.' It will be said to them: 'You have lied, Allah did not take a wife nor a son.' Then it will be said to them: 'What do you want now?' They will say: 'We are thirsty, our Lord! Give us water to drink.' He said: "They will be pointed to: 'Why don't you go to the water?' Then they will be gathered and driven towards Hell, which will appear like a mirage, one part (in its intensity) destroying the other, and they will all fall into the Fire one after another, until none remain except those who worshipped Allah, whether righteous or wicked. Then the Lord of all worlds, Glorified and Exalted, will come to them in a form less than (or different from) the one they had seen before and will say: 'What are you waiting for? Every nation has gone after what it used to worship.' They (turning away from the apparent form and turning to their Lord) will plead: 'O our Lord! We separated ourselves from all people in the world, no matter how much we needed them, we did not join them.' He will say: 'I am your Lord.' They will say: 'We seek refuge with Allah from you, we will not associate anyone with Allah.' (They will say this two or three times) until some of them are about to change, then He will say: 'Is there any sign between you and Him by which you can recognize Him?' They will reply: 'Yes!' Then the Shin will be uncovered, and none will remain who used to prostrate to Allah from his heart except that Allah will allow him to prostrate, and none will remain who used to prostrate out of fear of people or for show except that Allah will make his back one solid piece, whenever he tries to prostrate he will fall on his back. Then they will raise their heads and Allah will have come in the form in which they first saw Him and He will say: 'I am your Lord.' They will say: '(Yes) You are our Lord.' Then the bridge will be laid over Hell and the door of intercession will be opened, and (all the Messengers) will be saying: 'O Allah! Grant safety, grant safety.'” It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What is the bridge (Sirat)?" He said: "It is a slippery, shaky place, with hooks that snatch and thorns with many prongs, and there are thorny plants like those in Najd called Sa'dan. So the believers will pass over it as quickly as the blink of an eye, or like lightning, or like the wind, or like birds, or like fast horses and mounts. Some will be saved unharmed, some will be scratched and let go, and some will be piled up in the Fire, layer upon layer, until when the believers are saved from the Fire—by the One in Whose hand is my soul! None of you will plead with Allah more earnestly for his full right to be given than the believers will plead on the Day of Resurrection for their brothers who are in the Fire. They will say: 'O our Lord! They used to fast with us, pray with us, and perform Hajj with us.' It will be said to them: 'Take out those whom you recognize.' Their faces will be forbidden to the Fire. So they will bring out many people whom the Fire had reached up to their shins or knees. Then they will say: 'O our Lord! None of those whom You commanded us to take out remains in the Fire.' He will say: 'Go back, and bring out anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to a dinar.' So they will bring out a great number of people. Then they will say: 'O our Lord! None of those whom You commanded us to take out remains in the Fire.' He will say: 'Go back, and bring out anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to half a dinar.' So they will bring out a great number of people. Then they will say: 'O our Lord! None of those whom You commanded us to take out remains in the Fire.' He will say: 'Go back, and bring out anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to a mustard seed.' So they will bring out a great number of people. Then they will say: 'O our Lord! We have not left anyone with any good in him in the Fire.'" (Faith can be as little as a mustard seed.) Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "If you do not believe me in this hadith, then if you wish, recite this verse: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ ۖ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا» 'Indeed, Allah does not wrong even the weight of a speck, and if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.'" He said: "Then Allah, the Exalted, will say: 'The angels have interceded, the Prophets have interceded, the believers have interceded, and none remains except the Most Merciful of the merciful.' So He will take a handful from the Fire and bring out people who never did any good, and they will have become charcoal, then He will throw them into a river at the entrance of Paradise called the River of Life, and they will grow out (from it) as a seed grows in the silt carried by a flood. Do you not see that it sometimes clings to a stone or a tree? That which is exposed to the sun is yellow and green, and that which is in the shade is white?" The companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! It seems you used to graze animals in the wilderness?" He said: "So those people will come out (of the river) like pearls, with seals on their necks. The people of Paradise will recognize them (later) as those whom Allah has freed, whom Allah admitted to Paradise without any deed they did or any good they sent forth. Then He will say: 'Enter Paradise, and whatever you see is yours.' They will say: 'O our Lord! You have given us what You have not given to anyone among the worlds.' He will say: 'Shall I not give you something better than that?' He will say: 'My pleasure, for after that I will never be angry with you.'"

قَالَ مُسْلِم : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى عِيسَى بْنِ حَمَّادٍ زُغْبَةَ الْمِصْرِيِّ ، هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ ، وَقُلْتُ لَهُ : أُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنْكَ ، أَنَّكَ سَمِعْتَ مِنَ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، قُلْتُ لِعِيسَى بْنِ حَمَّادٍ : أَخْبَرَكُمُ اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنَرَى رَبَّنَا ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : هَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ الشَّمْسِ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمٌ صَحْوٌ ؟ قُلْنَا : لَا " ، وَسُقْتُ الْحَدِيثَ حَتَّى انْقَضَى آخِرُهُ وَهُوَ نَحْوُ حَدِيثِ حَفْصِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ ، وَزَادَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ : بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ عَمِلُوهُ وَلَا قَدَمٍ قَدَّمُوهُ ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ : لَكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْجِسْرَ ، أَدَقُّ مِنَ الشَّعْرَةِ وَأَحَدُّ مِنَ السَّيْفِ ، وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ اللَّيْثِ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : رَبَّنَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا مَا لَمْ تُعْطِ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ وَمَا بَعْدَهُ ، فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ .
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) : We said: Messenger of Allah, shall we see our Lord? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Do you feel any trouble in seeing the sun on a cloudless day? We said: No. And the remaining part of the hadith has been narrated to the end like the hadith transmitted by Hafs bin Maisara with the addition of these words: Without the deed that they did or any good that they had sent before. It would be said to them: For you is whatever you see (in it) and with it the like of it. Abu Sa'id said: I have come to know that the bridge would be thinner even than the hair and sharper than the sword; and in the hadith narrated by Laith these words are not found: They would say, O our Lord! Thou hast bestowed upon us (favours) which thou didst not bestow on anyone else in the world.

Abu Bakr (RA) bin Abi Shaiba, Ja'far bin 'Aun, Hisham bin Sa'd, Zaid bin Aslam narrated the hadith as transmitted by Hafs bin Maisara, with certain additions and omissions.

Hadith Commentary:
From this hadith, form (sura) is affirmed for the Lord.
If there were no form, then how would His vision be possible?
The reality of the form is known only to Allah Himself.
The Ahl al-Hadith do not interpret (make ta’wil of) the attributes of the Creator.
This has been the way of the pious predecessors (salaf salih).
In the narration of Muslim, it is stated as follows:
At first, the Muslims will not recognize their Lord, because He will manifest in a different form, and when He says, “I am your Lord,” the Muslims will say, “We seek refuge with Allah from you.” Then the Lord will appear in His original form, the form in which the Muslims had already seen Him.
At that time, all the Muslims will fall into prostration and say, “You are indeed our Lord.”

Hadith Commentary:
1.
In one narration, it is mentioned that Allah, the Exalted, will say: "Do you have any sign by which you will recognize your Lord?" They will reply, "The shin is a sign." Allah, the Exalted, will uncover His shin, and every believer will fall in prostration, while those who used to prostrate in the world for show and fame will remain behind. When they attempt to prostrate, their backs will become like a single plank. Then a bridge will be placed over Hell.
After that, Allah, the Exalted, will say to the saved people: "Go, and whoever you find in whose heart there is even the weight of a mustard seed of faith, bring him out of Hell." Thus, they will bring out whomever they recognize. The narrator of the hadith, Hazrat Abu Sa'id, says: "If you do not believe my words, then recite the statement of Allah, the Exalted:
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ ۖ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا﴾ ()
and (see) Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Tawhid, Hadith: 7439."

In one narration, it is mentioned that Allah, the Exalted, will say: "Do you have any sign by which you will recognize your Lord?" They will reply, "The shin is a sign." Allah, the Exalted, will uncover His shin, and every believer will fall in prostration, while those who used to prostrate in the world for show and fame will remain behind. When they attempt to prostrate, their backs will become like a single plank. Then a bridge will be placed over Hell.
After that, Allah, the Exalted, will say to the saved people: "Go, and whoever you find in whose heart there is even the weight of a mustard seed of faith, bring him out of Hell." Thus, they will bring out whomever they recognize. The narrator of the hadith, Hazrat Abu Sa'id, says: "If you do not believe my words, then recite the statement of Allah, the Exalted:
﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ ۖ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا﴾ ()
and (see) Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Tawhid, Hadith: 7439."
