7437. Narrated 'Aṭā' bin Yazid Al-Laithi: On the authority of Abū Hurairah: The people said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night?" They said, "No, O Allāh's Messenger." He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They said, "No, O Allāh's Messenger." He said, "So you will see Him, like that. Allāh will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection, and say, 'Whoever worshipped something (in the world) should follow (that thing),' so, whoever worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and whoever worshipped the moon will follow the moon, and whoever used to worship certain (other false) deities, they will follow those deities. And there will remain only this nation (Muslims) along with its good people (or its hypocrites). (The subnarrator, Ibrāhīm is in doubt as to the exact word the Prophet ﷺ used). Allāh will come to them and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will (deny Him and) say, 'We will stay here till our Lord comes, for when our Lord comes, we will recognize Him.' So Allāh will come to them in His Appearance which they know, and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord,' so they will follow Him. Then a bridge will be laid across Hell (Fire). I and my followers will be the first ones to go across it and none will speak on that Day except the Messengers. And the invocation of the Messengers on that Day will be, 'O Allāh, Save! Save!' In Hell (or over the bridge) there will be hooks like the thorns of As-Sa'dān (thorny plant)." (The Prophet ﷺ asked:)"Have you seen As-Sa'dān?" They replied, "Yes, O Allāh's Messenger!" He said, "So, those hooks look like the thorns of As-Sa'dān, but none knows how big they will be, except Allāh. Those hooks will snap the people away according to their deeds. Some of the people will stay in Hell (be destroyed) because of their (evil) deeds, and some will be cut or torn by the hooks (and fall into Hell) and some will be punished and then relieved. When Allāh will finish His Judgement among the people, He will take whomsoever He will out of Hell through His Mercy. He will then order the angels to take out of the Fire all those who used to worship none but Allāh, from among those whom Allāh wanted to be Merciful and those who testified (in the world) that Lā ilāha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh). The angels will recognize them in the Fire by the marks of prostration (on their foreheads), for the Fire will eat up (burn) all the human body except the mark caused by prostration; as Allāh has forbidden the Fire to eat the mark of prostration. They will come out of the (Hell) Fire completely burnt; and then the water of Al-Hayāt (life) will be poured over them and they will grow under it as does a seed that comes in the mud of the torrent. Then Allāh will finish the judgements among the people, and there will remain one man facing the (Hell) Fire and he will be the last person among the people of Hell to enter Paradise. He will say, 'O my Lord! Please turn my face away from the Fire because its air has hurt me and its severe heat has burnt me.' So he will invoke Allāh in the way Allāh will wish him to invoke, and then Allāh will say to him, 'If I grant you that, will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by Your Izzat (Power, Honour) I will not ask You for anything more.' He will give his Lord whatever promises and covenants Allāh will demand. So Allāh will turn his face away from Hell (Fire). When he will face Paradise and will see it, he will remain quiet for as long as Allāh will wish him to remain quiet, then he will say, 'O my Lord! Bring me near to the gate of Paradise.' Allāh will say to him, 'Didn't you give your promises and covenants that you would never ask for anything more than what you had been given? Woe on you, O Ādam's son! How treacherous you are!' He will say, 'O my Lord,' and will keep on invoking Allāh till He will say to him, 'If I give what you are asking, will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by Your Izzat (Honour Power), I will not ask for anything else.' Then he will give covenants and promises to Allāh and then Allāh will bring him near to the gate of Paradise. When he stands at the gate of Paradise, Paradise will be opened and spread before him, and he will see its splendour and pleasures whereupon he will remain quiet as long as Allāh will wish him to remain quiet, and then he will say, 'O my Lord! Admit me into Paradise.' Allāh will say, 'Didn't you give your covenants and promises that you would not ask for anything more than what you had already been given?' Allāh will say, 'Woe on you, O Ādam's son! How treacherous you are!' The man will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most miserable of Your creation,' and he will keep on invoking Allāh till Allāh will laugh because of his sayings, and when Allāh will laugh because of him, He will say to him, 'Enter Paradise,' and when he will enter it, Allāh will say to him, 'Wish (for anything)'. So he will ask his Lord, and he will wish for a great number of things, for Allāh Himself will remind him to wish for certain things by saying, 'Wish for' so-and-so.' When there is nothing more to wish for, Allāh will say, 'This is for you, and its equal (is for you) as well.'
