(حديث موقوف) (حديث مرفوع) قَالَ : ثُمَّ قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ ، لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا ، وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا رَأَيْتَ ؟ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us after finishing the prayer and said: O people! I am your Imam, so do not go ahead of me in bowing, prostration, standing, sitting, or ending the prayer, because I see you from in front of me as well as from behind me. And by the One in Whose hand is my soul, if you had seen what I have seen, you would laugh little and weep much. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What have you seen? He replied: I have seen Paradise and Hell with my own eyes.
