4327. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Death will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and made to stand on the Sirât (the Bridge over Hell). It will be said: "O people of Paradise!" And they will look. Anxious and afraid lest they be brought out of the place they are in. Then it will be said: "O people of Hell!" and they will look, hoping that they will be brought out of the place they are in. Then it will be said: "Do you know what this is?" They will say: "Yes, this is Death." Then the command will be given for it to be slaughtered on the Sirât, and it will be said to both groups: "It is
eternal wherever you are, and there will never be any death therein." (Hasan)

Commentary
The purpose of slaughtering death after presenting it in a physical form is to make them certain that there is no more death.
Slaughter of death increases joys of the inhabitants of Paradise and causes more grief for those who are in Hell.
This is announced when all the believers who have been rescued from Hell by the intercession enter Paradise, and only those who will live forever in Hell remain in Hell.
