Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ يُؤْتَى بِالْمَوْتِ كَهَيْئَةِ كَبْشٍ أَمْلَحَ فَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَشْرَئِبُّونَ وَيَنْظُرُونَ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ هَذَا فَيَقُولُونَ نَعَمْ هَذَا الْمَوْتُ، وَكُلُّهُمْ قَدْ رَآهُ، ثُمَّ يُنَادِي يَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ، فَيَشْرَئِبُّونَ وَيَنْظُرُونَ، فَيَقُولُ هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ هَذَا فَيَقُولُونَ نَعَمْ هَذَا الْمَوْتُ، وَكُلُّهُمْ قَدْ رَآهُ، فَيُذْبَحُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ، خُلُودٌ فَلاَ مَوْتَ، وَيَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ، خُلُودٌ فَلاَ مَوْتَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ‏‏{‏وَأَنْذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْحَسْرَةِ إِذْ قُضِيَ الأَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ‏}‏ وَهَؤُلاَءِ فِي غَفْلَةٍ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا ‏‏{‏وَهُمْ لاَ يُؤْمِنُونَ‏}‏‏"‏

Translation

Narrated Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Death will be brought in the form of a mottled ram. A caller will call, ‘People of Paradise!’ They will crane their necks and look. He will ask, ‘Do you recognize this?’ They will say, ‘Yes, this is death,’ and all of them will have seen it. Then he will call, ‘People of the Fire!’ They will crane their necks and look. He will ask, ‘Do you recognize this?’ They will say, ‘Yes, this is death,’ and all of them will have seen it. Then it will be slaughtered. Then he will say, ‘People of Paradise, eternity—there is no death! People of the Fire, eternity—there is no death!’” Then he recited: “Warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be decided, while they are heedless” (Qur’an 19:39). “These are the people of this world, who are heedless, and they do not believe.”
