198. It was narrated that ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar said: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say, when he was on the pulpit ‘The Compeller will seize the
heavens and the earths in His Hand' and he clenched his fist and began to open and close it. Then He will say: "I am the Compeller! Where are the tyrants? Where are the arrogant?" He said, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was turning to his right and to his left, until I saw the pulpit moving from below and I thought: 'What if it falls with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ on it?''' (Sahih)
