Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 27633a
"يُؤْتَى بِالْمَوْتِ كَأَنَّه كَبْشٌ أَمْلَحُ حَتَّى يُوقَفَ عَلَى السُّورِ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، فَيُقَالُ: يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ؟ فَيَشْرَئِبوُّنَ، وَيُقَالُ: يَا أَهْلَ النَّارِ؟ فَيَشْرئِبُّون، فَيُقَالُ: هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ هَذَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: نَعَمْ، هَذَا الْمَوتُ، فَيُضْجَعُ وَيُذْبَحُ، فَلَوْلَا أَنَّ اللَّه قَضَى لأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الْحَيَاةَ وَالْبَقَاءَ لَمَاتُوا فَرَحًا، وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ اللَّه قَضَى لأَهْلِ النَّارِ الْحَيَاةَ فِيهَا لمَاتُوا ترَحًا".
Translation
Machine translation, not reviewed
“Death will be brought in the likeness of a speckled ram and stopped on the wall between Paradise and the Fire. It will be said, ‘O people of Paradise!’ and they will raise their heads, and it will be said, ‘O people of the Fire!’ and they will raise their heads. It will be said, ‘Do you know this?’ They will say, ‘Yes, this is death.’ It will be laid down and slaughtered. Then, were it not that Allah had decreed life and endurance for the people of Paradise, they would die of joy, and were it not that Allah had decreed life therein for the people of the Fire, they would die of sorrow.”
