On the Day of Regret, Death Will Be Slaughtered in the Form of a Ram:
There will be many occasions for the disbelievers to regret. But the final occasion will probably be when the decision is announced for the people of Paradise to enter Paradise and for the people of Hell to enter Hell, as mentioned in the following hadith: "Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri ؓ reports that the Prophet ﷺ said: (On the Day of Resurrection) death will be brought in the form of a speckled ram. Then a caller will call out: 'O people of Paradise!' They will look in that direction, and the angel will say: 'Do you recognize this ram?' They will say, 'Yes, this is death, and we have all tasted it.' Then he will call out, 'O people of Hell!' They too will raise their heads and look, and the angel will say: 'Do you recognize this ram?' They will say, 'Yes! This is death, we have all seen it.' At that moment, the ram will be slaughtered. After that, the angel will say: 'O people of Paradise! You will remain in Paradise forever, and O people of Hell! You too will remain in Hell forever. Now, no one will die.' Then the Prophet ﷺ recited this verse: ﴿وَاَنْذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ..... لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ﴾ [بخاري۔ كتاب التفسير، ترمذي، ابواب التفسير] On that day, the disbelievers will be seeing and hearing everything clearly, but in utter despair from all sides, they will bite their hands in regret. But at that time, it will be of no benefit.
