Arabic hadith text

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا مَاتَ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ مَقْعَدُهُ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَمِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيُقَالُ هَذَا مَقْعَدُكَ حَتَّى يَبْعَثك الله يَوْم الْقِيَامَة»

Translation

ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUmar reported that the Messenger of God said: ‘When one of you dies, his place is shown to him morning and evening. If he is among the people of Paradise, then it is a place among the people of Paradise; and if he is among the people of the Fire, then it is a place among the people of the Fire. It is said to him, “This is your place until God raises you on the Day of Resurrection.”’
