Musnad Ahmad 7717

Translation

✧ Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds beneath it? They said: No, O Messenger of God. Then he said: Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on the night of the full moon when there are no clouds beneath it? They said: No, O Messenger of God. He said: Then you will see Him likewise on the Day of Resurrection. God will gather the people and say: Whoever used to worship something, let him follow it. So those who worshipped the moon will follow the moon, those who worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and those who worshipped false deities will follow the false deities. This community will remain, with its hypocrites among them. Then God, Mighty and Majestic, will come to them in a form other than the one they know, and say: I am your Lord. They will say: We seek refuge in God from you. This is our place until our Lord comes to us, and when our Lord comes, we will recognize Him. He said: Then God, Mighty and Majestic, will come to them in the form they know, and say: I am your Lord. They will say: You are our Lord, and they will follow Him. He said: And a bridge will be set up over Hell. The Prophet ﷺ said: I will be the first to cross. The call of the messengers on that day will be: O God, grant safety, grant safety. It will have hooks like the thorns of sa'dan. Have you seen the thorns of sa'dan? They said: Yes, O Messenger of God. He said: They are like the thorns of sa'dan, except that no one knows the extent of their greatness except God [Exalted]. They will snatch people according to their deeds. Some will be destroyed by their deeds, and some will be cut to pieces and then saved. Until when God, Mighty and Majestic, finishes judging between the servants and wants to bring out of the Fire whom He wills to have mercy on from those who testify that there is no god but God, He will command the angels to bring them out. They will recognize them by the mark of the traces of prostration. God has forbidden the Fire to consume the traces of prostration on the son of Adam. So they will bring them out, having been burned. Then water called the water of life will be poured over them, and they will grow like a seed grows in the silt carried by a flood. One man will remain, turning his face toward the Fire, and he will say: O Lord, its smell has poisoned me and its blaze has burned me; turn my face away from the Fire. He will continue to call upon God until He says: Perhaps if I grant you that, you will ask Me for something else. He will say: No, by Your might, I will not ask You for anything else. So He will turn his face away from the Fire. Then after that he will say: O Lord, bring me near to the gate of Paradise. He will say: Did you not claim that you would not ask Me for anything else? Woe to you, O son of Adam, how treacherous you are. He will continue to call until He says: Perhaps if I grant you that, you will ask Me for something else. He will say: No, by Your might, I will not ask You for anything else. He will give God covenants and promises that he will not ask for anything else. So He will bring him near to the gate of Paradise. When he draws near to it, Paradise will open up for him. When he sees what is in it of joy and delight, he will remain silent as long as God wills him to remain silent. Then he will say: O Lord, admit me into Paradise. He will say: Did you not claim that you would not ask Me for anything else? You have given your covenants and promises that you would not ask Me for anything else. He will say: O Lord, do not make me the most wretched of Your creation. He will continue to call upon God until He laughs. When He laughs at him, He will permit him to enter it. When he enters, it will be said to him: Wish for such and such. He will wish. Then it will be said: Wish for such and such. He will wish until his desires are exhausted. Then it will be said to him: This is for you, and the like of it with it. He said: Abu Sa'id was sitting with Abu Hurayrah and did not object to anything he said, until he reached his saying: "This is for you and the like of it with it." Abu Sa'id said: I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: This is for you and ten times the like of it with it. Abu Hurayrah said: I memorized "the like of it with it." Abu Hurayrah said: That man is the last of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise.
