It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty deprived those who were before us of (the virtue of) Friday. So Saturday was appointed for the Jews and Sunday for the Christians. Then Allah Almighty brought us and guided us to the day of Friday. In this way Allah made the order Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and likewise they will be our followers, coming after us, on the Day of Resurrection. We are the last to come in this world, but on the Day of Resurrection we will be the first of all creation, the first between whom judgement will be passed. Allah Almighty will gather the people on a single plain. When Paradise is brought near, the believers will say to one another: 'Who will have the gate of Paradise opened for us?' Then they will come to Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) and say: 'O Adam, have the gate of Paradise opened for us.' He will reply: 'Was it not the slip of your father Adam that had you expelled from Paradise? I am not fit for this great task. Go to your father Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him), the Khalil (intimate friend) of his Lord.' They will come to him and say: 'O Ibrahim, have Paradise opened for us.' He will say: 'I am not fit for this position; I was only a Khalil from far, far behind. Go to my brother Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him), to whom Allah spoke.' They will come to him, and he will say: 'I am not fit for it. Go to the Word of Allah and His Spirit, Sayyiduna Isa (peace be upon him).' When they come to him, he will say: 'I am not fit for this station. Go to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).' So they will come to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) will seek permission (to have the gate opened) and permission will be given to him. Then Trustworthiness (al-amanah) and the Ties of Kinship (al-rahim) will be sent with him (peace and blessings be upon him), and they will stand on the right and left sides of the Bridge (al-Sirat). The first of you will pass as swiftly as the flash of lightning." (The Companions asked: "How will he pass?") He said: "Have you not seen how lightning passes in the blink of an eye and returns? Then some will pass like the wind, some like birds, and some like swiftly running men; their deeds alone will carry them across. And your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will be standing on the Bridge, saying: 'Sallim' (O Allah, grant safety), until people's deeds fall short, and a man will come who has no strength for anything except crawling along. On both edges of the Bridge iron hooks will be hanging, appointed to seize those about whom they are commanded. So some will be saved though wounded, and some will be thrown headlong into the Fire of Hell." And by the One in whose Hand is the soul of Abu Hurayrah! The depth of Hell is equal to a distance of ninety years.
