حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنْذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ سورة مريم آية 39 ، قَالَ : " يُؤْتَى بِالْمَوْتِ كَأَنَّهُ كَبْشٌ أَمْلَحُ حَتَّى يُوقَفَ عَلَى السُّورِ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ ، فَيُقَالُ : يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ ، فَيَشْرَئِبُّونَ ، وَيُقَالُ : يَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ ، فَيَشْرَئِبُّونَ ، فَيُقَالُ : هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ هَذَا ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ : نَعَمْ هَذَا الْمَوْتُ ، فَيُضْجَعُ فَيُذْبَحُ فَلَوْلَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَضَى لِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الْحَيَاةَ فِيهَا وَالْبَقَاءَ لَمَاتُوا فَرَحًا ، وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَضَى لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ الْحَيَاةَ فِيهَا وَالْبَقَاءَ لَمَاتُوا تَرَحًا " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Narrated Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited: And warn them of a Day of griefs and regrets (19:39) and he said: 'Death will be brought as if it is a mixed black and white ram, until it is halted upon the barrier between Paradise and the Fire. It will be said: 'O people of Paradise! They will raise up their necks to look. It will be said: 'O people of the Fire! And they will raise up their necks to look. It will be said: 'Do you recognize this?' They will say: 'Yes. This is death.' Then it will be laid down and slaughtered. If it were not that Allah had decreed that the inhabitants of Paradise would remain, then they would die of joy, and if it were not that Allah had decreed that the inhabitants of the Fire would remain, then they would die of grief.'"

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
1.
In one narration, it is stated that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Death will be brought and made to stand on the Bridge (Sirat), then the people of Paradise will be called, and they will look on in fear, thinking that perhaps they will be taken out of Paradise. Then the people of Hell will be called, and they will look up with joy, raising their necks in hope that they will be taken out of Hell. Then it will be said to all of them, ‘Do you recognize this?’ They will all say, ‘Yes, we recognize it.’ Then it will be ordered that it be slaughtered, so it will be slaughtered on the Bridge (Sirat). Then it will be said to both groups, ‘You will remain where you are forever. There will be no more death.’” (Sunan Ibn Majah, Kitab az-Zuhd, Hadith 4327)
In another narration, it is stated that it will be slaughtered on a wall between Paradise and Hell. (Jami‘ at-Tirmidhi, Sifat al-Jannah, Hadith: 2557)

2.
The purpose is that death will be slaughtered in order to double the happiness of the people of Paradise and to increase the distress of the people of Hell. Thus, the wording of the hadith narrated from Ibn ‘Umar (radi Allahu anhuma) is as follows:
“Death will be slaughtered so that the happiness of the people of Paradise may increase and the regret and sorrow of the people of Hell may intensify.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab ar-Riqaq, Hadith: 6548)

3.
From these ahadith, it is also understood that the disbelievers and polytheists will remain in Hell forever; death will not come to them, nor will they have a life of comfort and ease, as the statement of Allah, the Exalted, says:
“And those who disbelieve, for them is the fire of Hell; neither will it be decreed for them that they should die, nor shall its torment be lightened for them.” ()
It should be noted that this announcement will be made when those who are saved due to intercession have already entered Paradise, and only those will remain in Hell for whom it has been decreed to remain there forever. They will even try to escape from there, but the angels appointed by Allah will not let them leave, and they will subject them to new forms of physical punishment and mental torment.
May Allah protect us from it.

Hadith Commentary:

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Death is also a creation.
Allah has said:
"He who created death and life to test you as to which of you is best in deed." (: Surah Al-Mulk: 2)
➋ On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will bring death in the form of a ram, and this is not beyond Allah’s power.
➌ Nothing impossible or absurd results from this.
➍ It is not correct to interpret this away by saying that the transformation of realities is impossible.
➎ To compare the Hereafter to the world, or to confine Allah’s power within the human framework, is in fact the source and fountainhead of misguidance.

(The phrase "Falo anna ahadan" is not authentic,
because Atiyyah Awfi is weak,
and in this portion he has no corroborator (mutabi‘),
nor is there any supporting narration (shahid) for it.)
