2089. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up to give an admonition and he said: 'O people, you will be gathered to Allâh naked.'" (One of the narrators) Abû Dâwûd said: "Barefoot and uncircumcised." (The narrators) Wakî and Wahb said: "Naked and uncircumcised: As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it."[1] The first one to be clothed on the Day of Resurrection will be Ibrâhîm, peace be upon him. Then some men from among my Ummah will be brought and will be taken toward the left.[1] I will say: 'O Lord, my companions.' It will be said: 'You do not know what they innovated after you were gone.' And I shall say what the righteous slave said: 'And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them, but when You took me up, You were the Watcher over them; and You are a Witness to all things. If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if You forgive them, verily, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.'[2] And it will be said: 'These people kept turning away since you left them.'" (Sahîh)

2088 - أَخْبَرَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي الزَّرْقَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ قُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا جَلَسَ يَجْلِسُ إِلَيْهِ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ لَهُ ابْنٌ صَغِيرٌ يَأْتِيهِ مِنْ خَلْفِ ظَهْرِهِ، فَيُقْعِدُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَهَلَكَ فَامْتَنَعَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَحْضُرَ الْحَلْقَةَ لِذِكْرِ ابْنِهِ، فَحَزِنَ عَلَيْهِ، فَفَقَدَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «مَالِي لَا أَرَى فُلَانًا؟» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، بُنَيُّهُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَهُ هَلَكَ، فَلَقِيَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ بُنَيِّهِ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ هَلَكَ، فَعَزَّاهُ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «يَا فُلَانُ، أَيُّمَا كَانَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَمَتَّعَ بِهِ عُمُرَكَ، أَوْ لَا تَأْتِي غَدًا إِلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَجَدْتَهُ قَدْ سَبَقَكَ إِلَيْهِ يَفْتَحُهُ لَكَ»، قَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ، بَلْ يَسْبِقُنِي إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا لِي لَهُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ، قَالَ: «فَذَاكَ لَكَ»

Commentary

"To the left" means they will be driven toward Hell. The denizens of Hell have been called the As'hâbush Shimâl: the people of the left.
