عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ ، قَالَ : أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ ، فَصَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنَ الضُّحَى ، ضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ مَكَانَهُ حَتَّى صَلَّى الْأُولَى وَالْعَصْرَ وَالْمَغْرِبَ ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ ، حَتَّى صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ : سَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا شَأْنُهُ ؛ صَنَعَ الْيَوْمَ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَصْنَعْهُ قَطُّ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، فَجُمِعَ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَالْآخِرُونَ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ ، فَفَظِعَ النَّاسُ بِذَلِكَ ، فَانْطَلَقُوا إِلَى آدَمَ ، وَالْعَرَقُ يَكَادُ يُلْجِمُهُمْ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا آدَمُ ، أَنْتَ أَبُو الْبَشَرِ وَأَنْتَ اصْطَفَاكَ اللهُ ، اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ ، فَقَالَ : لَقَدْ لَقِيتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي لَقِيتُمُ ، انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى أَبِيكُمْ بَعْدَ أَبِيكُمْ ، إِلَى نُوحٍ ، إِنَّ اللهَ اصْطَفَى نُوحًا وَآلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ ، قَالَ : فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ إِلَى نُوحٍ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ ، أَنْتَ اصْطَفَاكَ اللهُ وَاسْتَجَابَ لَكَ فِي دُعَائِكَ ، فَلَمْ يَدَعْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا ، فَيَقُولُ : لَيْسَ ذَاكُمْ عِنْدِي ، انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى مُوسَى ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ كَلَّمَهُ تَكْلِيمًا ، فَيَقُولُ مُوسَى : لَيْسَ ذَاكُمْ عِنْدِي ، وَلَكِنِ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى عِيسَى ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَالْأَبْرَصَ وَيُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى ، فَيَقُولُ عِيسَى : لَيْسَ ذَاكُمْ عِنْدِي ، وَلَكِنِ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِ وَلَدِ آدَمَ ، فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الْأَرْضُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ يَشْفَعْ لَكُمْ إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ ، قَالَ : فَيَنْطَلِقُ ، فَيُنَادَى جِبْرِيلُ ، قَالَ : فَيَأْتِي جِبْرِيلُ رَبَّهُ ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ : ائْذَنْ لَهُ وَبَشِّرْهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ ، قَالَ : فَيَنْطَلِقُ بِهِ جِبْرِيلُ ، فَخَرَّ سَاجِدًا قَدْرَ جُمُعَةٍ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ ، وَقُلْ تُسْمَعْ ، وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ ، قَالَ : فَيَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ ، فَإِذَا نَظَرَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ خَرَّ سَاجِدًا قَدْرَ جُمُعَةٍ أُخْرَى ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ ، وَقُلْ تُسْمَعْ ، وَاشْفَعْ تُشَفَّعْ ، قَالَ : وَيَقَعُ سَاجِدًا ، قَالَ : فَيَأْخُذُ جِبْرِيلُ بِضَبْعَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَيَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ شَيْئًا لَمْ يَفْتَحْهُ عَلَى بَشَرٍ قَطُّ ، قَالَ : فَيَقُولُ : أَيْ رَبِّ ، جَعَلْتَنِي سَيِّدَ وَلَدِ آدَمَ وَلَا فَخْرَ ، وَأَوَّلَ مَنْ تَنْشَقُّ عَنْهُ الْأَرْضُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا فَخْرَ ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَرِدُ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ أَكْثَرُ مَا بَيْنَ صَنْعَاءَ وَأَيْلَةَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ يُقَالُ : ادْعُوا الصِّدِّيقِينَ ، فَيَشْفَعُونَ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ يُقَالُ : ادْعُوا الْأَنْبِيَاءَ ، قَالَ : فَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مَعَهُ الْعِصَابَةُ ، وَالنَّبِيُّ مَعَهُ الْخَمْسَةُ وَالسِّتَّةُ ، وَالنَّبِيُّ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ يُقَالُ : ادْعُوا الشُّهَدَاءَ ، قَالَ : فَيَشْفَعُونَ لِمَنْ أَرَادُوا ، قَالَ : فَإِذَا فَرَغَتِ الشُّهَدَاءُ ، قَالَ : يَقُولُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى : أَنَا أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ ، أَدْخِلُوا جَنَّتِي مَنْ كَانَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا ، قَالَ : فَيَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهُ : انْظُرُوا إِلَى النَّارِ ، هَلْ ثَمَّ أَحَدٌ عَمِلَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ ؟ قَالَ : فَيَجِدُونَ فِي النَّارِ رَجُلًا ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : هَلْ عَمِلْتَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ ؟ قَالَ : لَا ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أُسَامِحُ فِي الْبَيْعِ ، قَالَ : فَيَقُولُ اللهُ : اسْمَحَا لِعَبْدِي سَمَاحَهُ إِلَى عَبِيدِي ، ثُمَّ يُخْرَجُ مِنَ النَّارِ ، قَالَ : وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ ، فَيَقُولُ اللهُ : هَلْ عَمِلْتَ خَيْرًا قَطُّ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : لَا ، غَيْرَ أَنِّي قَدْ أَمَرْتُ وَلَدِي إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ، ثُمَّ اطْحَنُونِي ، حَتَّى إِذَا صِرْتُ مِثْلَ الْكُحْلِ ، اذْهَبُوا بِي إِلَى الْبَحْرِ فَاذْرُونِي فِي الرِّيحِ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ اللهُ : لِمَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ : مِنْ مَخَافَتِكَ ، قَالَ : فَيَقُولُ : انْظُرُوا إِلَى مُلْكِ أَعْظَمِ مَلِكٍ ، فَإِنَّ لَكَ مِثْلَهُ وَعَشْرَ أَمْثَالِهِ ، قَالَ : فَيَقُولُ : أَتَسْخَرُ بِي وَأَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ ؟ وَذَلِكَ الَّذِي ضَحِكْتُ مِنْهُ بِالضُّحَى .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) related that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the dawn prayer, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained seated until, when it was the forenoon (duha) time, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained seated in his place until he (peace and blessings be upon him) had offered the Zuhr, Asr and Maghrib prayers, and during all that time he did not speak to anyone, until he had prayed the Isha prayer. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to his family. The people said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him): Ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) what the matter was today; he (peace and blessings be upon him) did something today that he had never done before. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes. There was presented to me all that is to happen of the affairs of this world and the Hereafter. The first and the last were gathered on a single open plain, and the people were terrified by its horror. Then they went to Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him), while the sweat was reaching their mouths like a bridle. They said: O Adam! You are the father of mankind, and Allah chose you; intercede for us with your Lord. He said: I too am facing the same horror that you are facing; go to your father after your father, Sayyiduna Nuh (peace be upon him), for indeed, 'Allah chose Nuh, the family of Ibrahim and the family of Imran above all the worlds.'" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then they will go to Sayyiduna Nuh (peace be upon him) and say: Intercede for us with your Lord; Allah chose you, answered your supplication, and left not a single dweller of the disbelievers on the earth. He will say: This is not my station; go to Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him), for Allah spoke to him. Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) will say: This is not my station; rather, go to Sayyiduna Isa (peace be upon him), for he used to heal those born blind and the lepers, and he used to bring the dead to life. Sayyiduna Isa (peace be upon him) will say: This is not my station; rather, go to the leader of the children of Adam, for he will be the first for whom the earth will split open on the Day of Resurrection. Go to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him); he will intercede for you with your Lord." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "So (they) will go (for intercession), and Jibril (peace be upon him) will be called." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) will present himself before his Lord, and Allah Almighty will say: Give him permission and give him the glad tidings of Paradise." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Jibril (peace be upon him) will take him, and I will fall down in prostration (before Allah) for the length of a week (seven days). Then Allah Almighty will say: O Muhammad! Raise your head; speak, and you will be heard; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "So I will raise my head, and when I look at my Lord, I will again fall down in prostration for the length of another week. Then Allah Almighty will say: O Muhammad! Raise your head; speak, and you will be heard; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then I will fall into prostration again." He said: "Then Jibril (peace be upon him) will take hold of my upper arms, and Allah Almighty will open to me supplications such as He has never opened to any human being." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then I will say: O my Lord! You made me the leader of the children of Adam, and (I say this) without pride; and I will be the first for whom the earth splits open on the Day of Resurrection, and (I say this) without pride; until the expanse of those coming to me at my Pool (al-Kawthar) will be greater than the distance between Sana'a and Aylah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then the command will be given: Call the truthful ones (siddiqin), so that they may intercede. Then it will be said: Call the Prophets." He said: "So a Prophet (peace be upon him) will come with a group with him, a Prophet will have five or six people with him, and there will be a Prophet with not even a single person with him." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then the command will be given: Call the martyrs." He said: "So they will intercede for whomever they wish." He said: "When the martyrs have finished," then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, will say: I am the Most Merciful of those who show mercy; admit into My Paradise all those who did not associate anything with Me." He said: "So they will enter Paradise. Then Allah Almighty will say: Look into Hell; is there anyone there who ever did any good deed?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "So they will find a man in the Fire, and he will be asked: Did you ever do any good deed? He will say: No, except that I used to be lenient with people in buying and selling." He said: "Then Allah Almighty will say: Be lenient with this servant of Mine just as he used to be lenient with My servants. Then he will be taken out of the Fire." He said: "Then another man will be brought, and Allah will say: Did you ever do any good deed? He will say: No, except that I instructed my children that when I die they should burn me, then grind me until, when I have become as fine as kohl, take me to the sea and scatter me in the strong wind." He said: "Allah Almighty will ask: Why did you do that? He will say: Out of fear of You." He said: "Then Allah Almighty will say: Look at the kingdom of the greatest king; for you there is the like of it and ten times more." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That man will say (in astonishment): Are You mocking me, while You are the true King? And this is the scene at which I smiled in the forenoon."
