‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘As reported that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will single out a man from my community before all creation. Ninety-nine records will be spread out for him, each extending as far as the eye can see. He will say, “Do you deny any of this? Have My recording angels wronged you?” The man will say, “No, my Lord.” He will ask, “Do you have an excuse?” The man will say, “No, my Lord.” He will say, “Indeed, you have one good deed with Us, and no injustice will be done to you today.” Then a small card will be brought out bearing: “I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.” He will say, “Bring your scales.” The man will say, “My Lord, what is this card compared with these records?” He will say, “You will not be wronged.” The records will be placed on one side of the scale and the card on the other. The records will be light, and the card heavy; nothing outweighs the name of Allah.’ Abu ‘Isa said: ‘This hadith is hasan gharīb.’ Qutaybah narrated a similar report in meaning through Ibn Lahi‘ah, from ‘Amir ibn Yahya. Al-bitaqah means a small piece/card.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The Arabic describes 99 records, each spanning as far as the eye can see, weighed against a bitaqah, which Abu ‘Isa glosses as a small piece. The alternate route and grading are included.
