Hadith 21737

حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ , حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ , عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ , عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ بِالسُّجُودِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ , وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُؤْذَنُ لَهُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ رَأْسَهُ , فَأَنْظُرَ إِلَى بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ , فَأَعْرِفَ أُمَّتِي مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأُمَمِ , وَمِنْ خَلْفِي مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ , وَعَنْ يَمِينِي مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ , وَعَنْ شِمَالِي مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ " , فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ أُمَّتَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأُمَمِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ نُوحٍ إِلَى أُمَّتِكَ ؟ قَالَ : " هُمْ غُرٌّ مُحَجَّلُونَ مِنْ أَثَرِ الْوُضُوءِ , لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ كَذَلِكَ غَيْرَهُمْ , وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ يُؤْتَوْنَ كُتُبَهُمْ بِأَيْمَانِهِمْ , وَأَعْرِفُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, the first person to be granted permission to prostrate will be me, and I will be the first to be allowed to raise my head. Thus, when I look before me, I will recognize my Ummah among the other communities, and likewise, I will recognize my Ummah from behind and from the right and left as well. A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! From Hazrat Nuh (peace be upon him) until you, how will you recognize your Ummah among all the communities that have come?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: The foreheads of the people of my Ummah will be radiant and shining due to the traces of ablution; this quality will not be found in anyone else. And I will also recognize them in that their books of deeds will be in their right hands, and that their minor children will be running ahead of them.
