[482] 329 - (195) It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Allâh, Blessed be He and Most High, will gather the people together (on the Day of Resurrection), and the believers will stand until Paradise is brought near to them. They will go to Âdam - ﷺ - and will say: 'O our father! Ask for Paradise to be opened for us.' He will say: 'Were you expelled from Paradise for anything other than the error of your father Âdam? I am not the one to do that. Go to my son Ibrâhîm, the Close Friend of Allâh (Khalîlillâh).'[1] But Ibrâhîm will say: 'I am not the one to do that. I was a close friend from beyond, and beyond.'[1] Go to Mûsâ to whom Allâh spoke directly.' So they will go to Mûsâ - ﷺ - but he will say: 'I am not the one to do that. Go to 'Eisâ, the word of Allâh and a spirit created by Him.' But "Eisâ - ﷺ - will say: 'I am not the one to do that.' Then they will go to Muḥammad ﷺ and he will stand and permission will be granted to him (to open the Paradise). Trustworthiness and the ties of kinship will be sent and they will stand on either side of Aṣ-Ṣirāt (the Bridge), on the right and left. The first of you will cross like lightning.' I said: 'May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, what does like lightning mean?' He said: 'Do you not see how the lightning strikes and returns in the blink of an eye? Then they will cross like the wind, or like birds, or like swiftly-running men. People's progress (of crossing the Bridge) will be in accordance with their deeds, and your Prophet will be standing on the Bridge saying: 'O Lord, grant safety, grant safety.' Then people's deeds will fail them, until a man comes, able to move only by crawling. At the sides of the Sîrât will be hooks, which are commanded to seize those whom they are commanded. Some will be scratched and saved, and others will be piled up in the Fire.'" "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Abû Hurairah! The depth of Hell is (a distance of) seventy years."
