Musnad Ahmad 7546 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, death will be brought and made to stand on the Bridge of Sirat, and the people of Paradise will be called and summoned. They will look anxiously, fearing that perhaps they are being taken out of Paradise. Then it will be asked of them, "Do you recognize this?" They will say, "Yes, our Lord! This is death." Then the people of Hell will be called and summoned. They will look out with happiness, hoping that perhaps they will be allowed to leave that place. Then it will also be asked of them, "Do you recognize this?" They will say, "Yes, this is death." Then, by Allah's command, it will be slaughtered on the Bridge of Sirat, and it will be said to both groups, "The state in which you are now, you will remain in it forever; there will never be death again."
