Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Abu Zubair says: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about the coming of the Day of Resurrection. In response, he narrated to me this hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "On the Day of Resurrection, we will be on a mound higher than the common people. The nations will be called along with their idols and deities; they will come one after another. Then, our Lord will come to us and ask: 'What are you waiting for?' We will say: 'We are waiting for our Lord.' He will say: 'I am your Lord.' We will say: (Remove the veil from before Yourself) so that we may see You. So Allah Almighty will appear to them, smiling, and they will follow Him."
