2428. Abū Sāliḥ reported from Abū Hurairah and Abū Sa'eed that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The servant will be brought on the Day of Judgement, and He will say to him: ‘Did I not give you hearing, sight, wealth, children, and did I not make the cattle and tillage subservient to you, and did I not leave you as the head of people taking from their wealth? Did you not think that you would have to meet with Me on this Day of yours?’ So he will say: ‘No.’ So it will be said to him: ‘Today you shall be forgotten just as you have forgotten Me.’” (Saḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Aadīth is
Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb and the meaning of His saying: "Today you shall be forgotten just as you have forgotten Me" is: Today I shall leave you in chastisement. [This is how they have explained it].
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This is how some of the people of knowledge have explained this Āyah: So this Day We shall forget them...[1] They said that it means: We shall leave them in chastisement.

Commentary
The Hadīth confirms that there shall come a day when those who have been blessed with manifold bounties by Allāh in this world, and are yet forgetful of Him as well as of the reckoning on the Day of Judgement, shall have to stand before Allāh to render their accounts. When questioned by Him about their misdeeds, they will have no words to offer in their defence. They shall, therefore, face great humiliation and be thrown into Hellfire.
