183. It was narrated that Safwân bin Muhriz Al-Mâzini said: "We were with 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar when he was circumambulating the House; a man came up to him and said: 'O Ibn 'Umar, what did you hear the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say about the Najwa?'[1] He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: 'On the Day of Resurrection, the believer will be brought close to his Lord until He will cover him with His screen, then He will make him confess his sins. He will ask him: "Do you confess?" He will say: "O Lord, I confess." This will continue as long as Allâh wills, then He will say: "I concealed them for you in the world, and I forgive you for them today." Then he will be given the scroll of his good deeds, or his record, in his right hand. But as for the disbeliever or the hypocrite, (his sins) will be announced before the witnesses.'" (One of the narrators) Khâlid said: "At: 'before the witnesses' there is something
missing.”[1] “These are the ones who lied against their Lord!” No doubt! the curse of Allāh is on the wrongdoers.”[2] (Sahih)

Commentary
a. The Hadith contains the affirmation of Allāh's attribute of speech. The People of the Sunnah hold the belief that Allāh speaks whatever He wills, whenever He wills and, to whoever He wills; and the addressee hears Him speak.
b. It speaks of a great bounty from Allāh which encourages the believers to hope for His mercy. It also mentions the disgrace of the sinners, regarding which the believers are to remain in constant fear of Allāh, since both hope and fear are the necessary ingredients of Imân.
