Chapter 1: On the Day of Judgement
"There is no man among youexcept that his Lord shall conversewith him on the Day of Judgement,there being no interpreter betweenhim and Him (Allah). Then helooks to the south (his right) anddoes not see anything except thethings he put forward (of good),then he looks to the north (his left)and he does not see anythingexcept the things he put forward(of evil), then he turns to lookbefore him to find he is facing theFire." The Messenger of Allah SAW, said:"Whoever among you is able toprotect his face from [the heat of]the Fire – even with a piece of adate - then let him do so." (Sahih)[Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith isHasan Sahih]. Abu As-Sã'ib narrated to us: "Oneday, Waki' narrated this Hadith tous from Al-'Amash. When Waki'was finished with this Hadith, hesaid: 'Whoever is present from theinhabitants of Khurãsãn, then lethim seek the reward of spreadingthis Hadith in Khurãsãn." Abu 'Eisa said: The Jahmiyyahrejected this. [Abu As-Sã'ib's nameis Salam bin Junadah bin Khãlid binJäbir bin Samurah Al-Kufi]. ThisHadith is Hasan Sahih.
"Thefeet of the son of Adam shall notmove from before his Lord on theDay of Judgement, until he is askedabout five things: About his life andwhat he did with it, about his youthand what he wore it out in, abouthis wealth and how he earned it,and spent it upon, and what he didwith what he knew." (Da'if)[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isGharib, we do not know of it as anarration of Ibn Mas'üd from theProphet except through thenarration of Husain bin Qais.Husain [bin Qais] was graded weakin Hadith [due to his memory].There are narrations on this topic from Abu Barzah and Abu Sa'eed.
"The feet of the slave of Allah shall not move [on the Day of Judgement] until he is asked about five things: about his life and what he did with it, about his knowledge and what he did with it, about his wealth and how he earned it and where he spent it on, about his body and for what did he wear it out." [He said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. Sa'eed bin Abdullah binJuraij (a narrator in the chain) [isfrom Al-Basrah], and he is thefreed slave of Abu Barzah AlAslami, and Abu Barzah AlAslami's name is Nadlah bin 'Ubaid.
Chapter 2: What Has Been Related About the Matter of the Reckoning and Requital
"Do you know who the bankrupt is?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah SAW! The bankrupt among us is the one who has no Dirham nor property." The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The bankrupt in my Ummah is the one who comes with Salat and fasting and Zakat on the Day of Judgement, but he comes having abused this one, falsely accusing that one, wrongfully consuming the wealth of this one, spilling the blood of that one, and beating this one. So he is seated, and this one is requited from his rewards. If his rewards are exhausted before the sins that he committed are requited, then some of their sins will be taken and cast upon him, then he will be cast into the Fire." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isHasan Sahih.
"May Allah have mercy upon a servant who has wronged his brother in his honor or his wealth, then he comes to him to seek his pardon before (his right) is taken, when he has no Dinar nor Dirham. Then if he has any rewards, it will be taken from his rewards, and if he have no rewards, Then some of his (brothers) bad deeds will be levied upon him." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isSahih [Gharib as a narration ofSa'eed Al-Maqburi]. Malik binAnas also reported it from Sa'eedA]-Maqburl, from Abu Hurairahfrom the Prophet SAW, and it issimilar in meaning.
"Rights will be given to their due, such that the hornless sheep would get its claim from the horned sheep." There are narrations on this topicfrom Abu Dharr and 'Abdullah binUnais.[Abu 'Eisa said:] The Hadith ofAbu Hurairah is a Hasan SahihHadith.
"I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saying: 'On the Day of Judgement, the sun will be drawn near the servants, until it has come a mile or two (away).'" Sulaim bin 'Amir said: " I do not know if it is miles that refer to distance on the land, or Al-Mil which is used to apply Kuhl for the eyes." He (the Prophet (s.a.w)): "The sun will melt them, until they will be in sweat according to their deeds. Among them one will be covered up to his ankles, and among them will be one who is covered up to his knees, and among them will be one who is covered up to his waist, and among them will be one who is bridled with it.' I saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) indicating with his hand toward his mouth, meaning that one would be bridled with it.'" [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isHasan Sahih.There are narrations on this topicfrom Abu Sa'eed and Ibn 'Umar.
“And it is Marfu` in our view.” (He said): “The Day when all mankind will stand before the Lord of all that exists. They will be standing in their sweat up to the middle of their ears.” (Sahih) [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isHasan Sahih.(Another chain) from the Prophet SAW with similar meaning.
Chapter 3: What Has Been Related About the Matter of the Gathering
"The people will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection bare-foot, naked and uncircumcised as they were created." Then he recited: "As we begin the first creation, we shall repeat it: A promise binding upon Us. Truly We shall do it. And the first of people to be clothed will be Ibrahim. Among my companions will be some men who are taken to the right and to the left. I will say: 'O my Lord! My companions!' It will be said: 'You do not know what they innovated after you, they continued to be apostates since you parted from them.' So I will say as the righteous worshipper said: If you punish them, they are your slaves, and if You forgive them, indeed You, only You are the Almighty, the All-Wise." (Another chain) and he mentioned similarly.[Abü 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih].
"You shall be gathered walking, riding, and dragged upon your faces." There is a narration on this topicfrom Abu Hurairah.[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isHasan [Sahih].
Chapter 4: What Has Been Related About the Presentation
"The people will face three presentations on the Day of Judgement. As for (the first) two presentations, they are the arguments and the excuses, as for the third presentation, upon that the records will fly into the hands. Some will take them in their right hand, and some will take them in their left hand." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isnot correct, because Al-Hasan didnot hear from Abu Hurairah. Someof them reported it from 'Ali bin'Ali - and he is Ar-Rifa'i - fromAl-Hasan, from Abu Musã fromthe Prophet SAW.[Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isnot correct, because Al-Hasan didnot hear from Abü Musa].
Chapter 5: Whoever is Questioned He Shall be Ruined
"I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saying: 'Whoever his account is questioned about , he shall be ruined.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Indeed Allah [Most High] has said: Then as for him who shall be given his Record in his right hand. He surely will receive an easy reckoning.' Then he said: 'That is the presentation.'" [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isSahih Hasan, Ayyub also reported it from Ibn Abi Mulaikah.
Chapter 6: The Lord's Questioning of His Servant About What He Granted Him in the World
"The son of Adam will be brought on the Day of Judgement as if he is a goat kid to be stood before Allah, Most High. Allah will say to him: 'I gave to you, I granted you, and I bestowed favors upon you. So what did you do?' So he says: 'I collected it, increased it, and left it as more than what it was. So return me and I shall give it all to You.' So He will say to him: 'Show me what you have prepared.' So he says: 'My Lord! I collected it, increased it and left it more than it was, So return me and I shall give it all to You.' So when the servant does not present any good he will be entered into the Fire." Abu 'Eisa said: More than onenarrator reported this from Al-Hasan as his saying. And they didnot rely upon Ismä'il bin Muslimwho was graded weak in Hadith[due to his memory].There are narrations on this topicfrom Abu Hurairah and AbuSa'eed Al-Khudri.
"The servant will be brought on the Day of Judgement, and He will say to hi: 'Did I not give you hearing, sight, wealth, children, and did I not make the cattle and tillage subservient to you, and did I not leave you as the head of people taking from their wealth? Did you not think that you would have to meet with Me on this Day of yours?' So he will say: 'No.' So it will be said to him: 'Today you shall be forgotten just as you have forgotten Me.'" [Abü 'Elsa said:] This Hadith is Sahih Gharib and the meaning of His saying: "Today you shall be forgotten just as you have forgotten Me" is: Today I shall leave you in chastisement. [This is how theyhave explained it].[Abu 'Eisa said:] This is how some of the people of knowledge haveexplained this Ayah: So this Day We shall forget them...Theysaid that it means: We shall leavethem in chastisement.
Chapter 7: The Explanation of The Most High's Saying "That Day it Will Declare it's Information."
"The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) recited:That Day it will declare its information. And said: 'Do you know what its information is?' they said: 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'Indeed its information is that it will testify against every servant, male and female, It will say that he did such and such, on such and such a day.' He said: 'With this it shall be ordered.'" [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib.
Chapter 8: What Has Been Related About the Matter of the Sur
"A Bedouin came to the Prophet (S.a.w) and said:'What is the Sur?' He said: 'A horn that will be blown into'" [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. It has been reported by more than one narrator from Sulaimãn At-Taimi, and we do not know of it except as his narration.
"The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:'How can I be comfortable when the one with the horn is holding it to his lip, his ears listening for when he will be ordered to blow, so he can blow.' It was as if that was very hard upon the Companions of the Prophet (s.a.w), so he said to them: 'Say: "Allah is sufficent for us and what a good protector He is, and upon Allah we rely." [Abu' Eisa said:] This Hadith isHasan. This Hadith has beenreported through other routes from'Atiyyah, from Abu Sa'eed [AlKhudri] from the Prophet SAW, similarly.
Chapter 9: What Has Been Related About the Matter of the Sirat
"The sign of the believers upon the Sirat is: O lord, protect (us), protect (us).'" [Abü 'Eisa said:] This Hadith isGharib [as a narration of AlMughirah bin Shu'bah] we do notknow of it except through thenarration of 'Abdur-Rahmãn binIshaq [and there is something on this topic from Abu Hurairah].
"I asked the Prophet (s.a.w) to intercede for me on the Day of Judgement. He said: 'I am the one to do so.'" [He said:] "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Then where shall I seek you?' He said: 'Seek me, the first time you should seek me is on the Sirat.'" [He said:] "I said: 'If I do not meet you upon the Sirat?' He said: 'Then seek me at the Mizan.' I said:'And if I do not meet you at the Mizan?' He said: 'Then seek me at the Hawd, for indeed I will not me missed at these three locations.'"
