4625. Narrated Ibn 'Abbas رضي الله عنهما: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ delivered a Khutba (religious talk) and said, "O people! You will be gathered before Allāh bare-footed, naked and not circumcised." Then (quoting Qur'an) he said: “...As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it, (it is) a promise binding upon Us. Truly, We shall do it” (V.21:104) The Prophet ﷺ then said, “The first of the human beings to be dressed on the Day of Resurrection, will be Ibrāhīm (Abraham). Verily! Some men from my followers will be brought and then (the angels) will drive them to the left side (Hell-fire). I will say, ‘O my Lord! (They are) my Companions!’ A reply will come, ‘You do not know what they did after you.’ Then I will say as the pious slave [the Prophet ‘Isā (Jesus)] عليه السلام said: ‘...And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them; but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them.’ (V.5:117) “Then it will be said, ‘These people continued as apostates since you left them.’”

4625 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنَا المُغِيرَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّكُمْ مَحْشُورُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلًا»، ثُمَّ قَالَ: {كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُعِيدُهُ، وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ} [الأنبياء: 104] إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَلاَ وَإِنَّ أَوَّلَ الخَلاَئِقِ يُكْسَى يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ، أَلاَ وَإِنَّهُ يُجَاءُ بِرِجَالٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيُؤْخَذُ بِهِمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ، فَأَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ أُصَيْحَابِي، فَيُقَالُ: إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ، فَأَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ العَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ: {وَكُنْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيدًا مَا دُمْتُ فِيهِمْ، فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي كُنْتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ} [المائدة: 117] فَيُقَالُ: إِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ لَمْ يَزَالُوا مُرْتَدِّينَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ مُنْذُ فَارَقْتَهُمْ "
