قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ ؓ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنْ شِئْتُمْ أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ بِأَوَّلِ مَا يَقُولُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَبِأَوَّلِ مَا يَقُولُونَ، قَالُوا: نَعَمْ، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ: أَحْبَبْتُمْ لِقَائِي ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: نَعَمْ، يَا رَبَّنَا، [فَيَقُولُ: لِمَ ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: رَجَوْنَا عَفْوَكَ وَمَغْفِرَتَكَ]، فَيَقُولُ: فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَوْجَبْتُ لَكُمْ رَحْمَتِي

✧ If you wish, I will tell you the first thing Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will say to the believers on the Day of Resurrection, and the first thing they will say. They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' He ﷺ said: 'Allah, Blessed and Exalted, will say to the believers on the Day of Resurrection: "Did you love to meet Me?" They will say: "Yes, O our Lord." [Then He will say: "Why?" They will say: "We hoped for Your pardon and Your forgiveness."] Then He will say: "I have made My mercy obligatory for you."
