(4). 3167. Ibn 'Abbās narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood to deliver a Khutbah, he said: 'O you people! You will be gathered before Allāh naked and uncircumcised.' Then he recited: 'As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it...' until the end of the Āyah.[1] He said: 'The first to be clothed on the Day of Resurrection is Ibrāhīm. Indeed some men from my Ummah will be brought and taken from the left side, so I will say: "My Lord! My followers!" It will be said: "Indeed you do not know what they innovated after you." So I shall say as the righteous slave said: 'And I was a witness over them while I dwelt among 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...' [until the end of] the Āyah.[2] I shall be told: 'These people have not ceased turning on their heels as apostates ever since you parted from them.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
It is known from this Hadīth that after his demise, he ﷺ is unaware of the people's personal and individual deeds. It is not in his knowledge if they commit major sins. In this Hadīth, the matter of those Bedouin apostates is referred who chose the path of apostasy after the demise of the Prophet ﷺ in the reign of Abu Bakr ﷺ; and Abū Bakr battled against them. [Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi: vol. 4, p. 149]
