حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلَالٍ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ: «هَلْ تُضَارُونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ الشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا كَانَتْ صَحْوًا». قُلْنَا لَا.

قَالَ: «فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تُضَارُونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ رَبِّكُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ، إِلاَّ كَمَا تُضَارُونَ فِي رُؤْيَتِهِمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ لِيَذْهَبْ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ إِلَى مَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ. فَيَذْهَبُ أَصْحَابُ الصَّلِيبِ مَعَ صَلِيبِهِمْ، وَأَصْحَابُ الأَوْثَانِ مَعَ أَوْثَانِهِمْ، وَأَصْحَابُ كُلِّ آلِهَةٍ مَعَ آلِهَتِهِمْ حَتَّى يَبْقَى مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ مِنْ بَرٍّ أَوْ فَاجِرٍ، وَغُبَّرَاتٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ، ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِجَهَنَّمَ تُعْرَضُ كَأَنَّهَا سَرَابٌ فَيُقَالُ لِلْيَهُودِ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ قَالُوا كُنَّا نَعْبُدُ عُزَيْرَ ابْنَ اللَّهِ.

فَيُقَالُ كَذَبْتُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلَّهِ صَاحِبَةٌ وَلَا وَلَدٌ فَمَا تُرِيدُونَ قَالُوا نُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْقِيَنَا، فَيُقَالُ اشْرَبُوا فَيَتَسَاقَطُونَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لِلنَّصَارَى مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ فَيَقُولُونَ كُنَّا نَعْبُدُ الْمَسِيحَ ابْنَ اللَّهِ. فَيُقَالُ كَذَبْتُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلَّهِ صَاحِبَةٌ وَلَا وَلَدٌ، فَمَا تُرِيدُونَ فَيَقُولُونَ نُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْقِيَنَا.

فَيُقَالُ اشْرَبُوا. فَيَتَسَاقَطُونَ حَتَّى يَبْقَى مَنْ كَانَ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ مِنْ بَرٍّ أَوْ فَاجِرٍ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ مَا يَحْبِسُكُمْ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ النَّاسُ فَيَقُولُونَ فَارَقْنَاهُمْ وَنَحْنُ أَحْوَجُ مِنَّا إِلَيْهِ الْيَوْمَ وَإِنَّا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا يُنَادِي لِيَلْحَقْ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ.

وَإِنَّمَا نَنْتَظِرُ رَبَّنَا قَالَ فَيَأْتِيهِمُ الْجَبَّارُ. فَيَقُولُ أَنَا رَبُّكُمْ. فَيَقُولُونَ أَنْتَ رَبُّنَا. فَلَا يُكَلِّمُهُ إِلاَّ الأَنْبِيَاءُ فَيَقُولُ: هَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ آيَةٌ تَعْرِفُونَهُ فَيَقُولُونَ السَّاقُ. فَيَكْشِفُ عَنْ سَاقِهِ فَيَسْجُدُ لَهُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ، وَيَبْقَى مَنْ كَانَ يَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ رِيَاءً وَسُمْعَةً، فَيَذْهَبُ كَيْمَا يَسْجُدَ فَيَعُودُ ظَهْرُهُ طَبَقًا وَاحِدًا، ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِالْجَسْرِ فَيُجْعَلُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَىْ جَهَنَّمَ».

قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الْجَسْرُ قَالَ: «مَدْحَضَةٌ مَزِلَّةٌ، عَلَيْهِ خَطَاطِيفُ وَكَلَالِيبُ وَحَسَكَةٌ مُفَلْطَحَةٌ، لَهَا شَوْكَةٌ عُقَيْفَاءُ تَكُونُ بِنَجْدٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا السَّعْدَانُ، الْمُؤْمِنُ عَلَيْهَا كَالطَّرْفِ وَكَالْبَرْقِ وَكَالرِّيحِ وَكَأَجَاوِيدِ الْخَيْلِ وَالرِّكَابِ،

فَنَاجٍ مُسَلَّمٌ وَنَاجٍ مَخْدُوشٌ وَمَكْدُوسٌ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ، حَتَّى يَمُرَّ آخِرُهُمْ يُسْحَبُ سَحْبًا، فَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَشَدَّ لِي مُنَاشَدَةً فِي الْحَقِّ، قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْجَبَّارِ، وَإِذَا رَأَوْا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ نَجَوْا فِي إِخْوَانِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا إِخْوَانُنَا كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ مَعَنَا وَيَصُومُونَ مَعَنَا وَيَعْمَلُونَ مَعَنَا.

فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى اذْهَبُوا فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ دِينَارٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ. وَيُحَرِّمُ اللَّهُ صُوَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ، فَيَأْتُونَهُمْ وَبَعْضُهُمْ قَدْ غَابَ فِي النَّارِ إِلَى قَدَمِهِ وَإِلَى أَنْصَافِ سَاقَيْهِ، فَيُخْرِجُونَ مَنْ عَرَفُوا، ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبُوا فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ نِصْفِ دِينَارٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ.

فَيُخْرِجُونَ مَنْ عَرَفُوا، ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ فَيَقُولُ اذْهَبُوا فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ. فَيُخْرِجُونَ مَنْ عَرَفُوا».

قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ تُصَدِّقُونِي فَاقْرَءُوا «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِنْ تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَاعِفْهَا» «فَيَشْفَعُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَيَقُولُ الْجَبَّارُ بَقِيَتْ شَفَاعَتِي. فَيَقْبِضُ قَبْضَةً مِنَ النَّارِ فَيُخْرِجُ أَقْوَامًا قَدِ امْتُحِشُوا، فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِي نَهَرٍ بِأَفْوَاهِ الْجَنَّةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَاءُ الْحَيَاةِ، فَيَنْبُتُونَ فِي حَافَتَيْهِ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحِبَّةُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ، قَدْ رَأَيْتُمُوهَا إِلَى جَانِبِ الصَّخْرَةِ إِلَى جَانِبِ الشَّجَرَةِ،

فَمَا كَانَ إِلَى الشَّمْسِ مِنْهَا كَانَ أَخْضَرَ، وَمَا كَانَ مِنْهَا إِلَى الظِّلِّ كَانَ أَبْيَضَ، فَيَخْرُجُونَ كَأَنَّهُمُ اللُّؤْلُؤُ، فَيُجْعَلُ فِي رِقَابِهِمُ الْخَوَاتِيمُ فَيَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ هَؤُلَاءِ عُتَقَاءُ الرَّحْمَنِ أَدْخَلَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ عَمَلٍ عَمِلُوهُ وَلَا خَيْرٍ قَدَّمُوهُ. فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ لَكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ وَمِثْلُهُ مَعَهُ»

We said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?” He said, “Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon when the sky is clear?”

We said, “No.” He said, “So you will have no difficulty in seeing your Lord on that Day as you have no difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon (in a clear sky).” The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then said, “Somebody will then announce, ‘Let every nation follow what they used to worship.’ So the companions of the cross will go with their cross, and the idolators (will go) with their idols, and the companions of every god (false deities) (will go) with their god, till there remain those who used to worship Allah, both the obedient ones and the mischievous ones, and some of the people of the Scripture.

Then Hell will be presented to them as if it were a mirage. Then it will be said to the Jews, ‘What did you use to worship?’ They will reply, ‘We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.’

It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. What do you want (now)?’ They will reply, ‘We want You to provide us with water.’ Then it will be said to them ‘Drink,’ and they will fall down in Hell (instead).

Then it will be said to the Christians, ‘What did you use to worship?’ They will reply, ‘We used to worship Messiah, the son of Allah.’ It will be said, ‘You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. What: do you want (now)?’ They will say, ‘We want You to provide us with water.’

It will be said to them, ‘Drink,’ and they will fall down in Hell (instead). When there remain only those who used to worship Allah (Alone), both the obedient ones and the mischievous ones, it will be said to them, ‘What keeps you here when all the people have gone?’ They will say, ‘We parted with them (in the world) when we were in greater need of them than we are today, we heard the call of one proclaiming, ‘Let every nation follow what they used to worship,’ and now we are waiting for our Lord.’

Then the Almighty will come to them in a shape other than the one which they saw the first time, and He will say, ‘I am your Lord,’ and they will say, ‘You are not our Lord.’ And none will speak: to Him then but the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) s, and then it will be said to them, ‘Do you know any sign by which you can recognize Him?’

They will say. ‘The Shin,’ and so Allah will then uncover His Shin whereupon every believer will prostrate before Him and there will remain those who used to prostrate before Him just for showing off and for gaining good reputation. These people will try to prostrate but their backs will be rigid like one piece of a wood (and they will not be able to prostrate).

Then the bridge will be laid across Hell.” We, the companions of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! What is the bridge?”

He said, “It is a slippery (bridge) on which there are clamps and (Hooks like) a thorny seed that is wide at one side and narrow at the other and has thorns with bent ends. Such a thorny seed is found in Najd and is called As-Sadan. Some of the believers will cross the bridge as quickly as the wink of an eye, some others as quick as lightning, a strong wind, fast horses or she-camels.

So some will be safe without any harm; some will be safe after receiving some scratches, and some will fall down into Hell (Fire). The last person will cross by being dragged (over the bridge).”

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “You (Muslims) cannot be more pressing in claiming from me a right that has been clearly proved to be yours than the believers in interceding with Almighty for their (Muslim) brothers on that Day, when they see themselves safe. They will say, ‘O Allah! (Save) our brothers (for they) used to pray with us, fast with us and also do good deeds with us.’

Allah will say, ‘Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of one (gold) Dinar.’ Allah will forbid the Fire to burn the faces of those sinners. They will go to them and find some of them in Hell (Fire) up to their feet, and some up to the middle of their legs. So they will take out those whom they will recognize and then they will return, and Allah will say (to them), ‘Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of one half Dinar.’

They will take out whomever they will recognize and return, and then Allah will say, ‘Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant), and so they will take out all those whom they will recognize.’

Abu Said said: If you do not believe me then read the Holy Verse: ‘Surely! Allah wrongs not even of the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant) but if there is any good (done) He doubles it.’ (An-Nisa 4:40) The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) added, ‘Then the prophets and Angels and the believers will intercede, and (last of all) the Almighty (Allah) will say, ‘Now remains My Intercession.

He will then hold a handful of the Fire from which He will take out some people whose bodies have been burnt, and they will be thrown into a river at the entrance of Paradise, called the water of life. They will grow on its banks, as a seed carried by the torrent grows. You have noticed how it grows beside a rock or beside a tree, and how the side facing the sun is usually green while the side facing the shade is white.

Those people will come out (of the River of Life) like pearls, and they will have (golden) necklaces, and then they will enter Paradise whereupon the people of Paradise will say, ‘These are the people emancipated by the Beneficent. He has admitted them into Paradise without them having done any good deeds and without sending forth any good (for themselves).’ Then it will be said to them, ‘For you is what you have seen and its equivalent as well.’’’”

আবূ সা‘ঈদ খুদরী (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমরা বললাম, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! আমরা কিয়ামতের দিন আমাদের রবেবর দর্শন লাভ করব কি? তিনি বললেনঃ মেঘহীন আকাশে সূর্যকে দেখতে তোমাদের অসুবিধা হয় কি?

আমরা বললাম, না। তিনি বললেনঃ সেদিন তোমাদের রবকে দেখতে তোমাদের কোন অসুবিধা হবে না। এতটুকু ব্যতীত যতটুকু সূর্য দেখার সময় পেয়ে থাক। সেদিন একজন ঘোষণাকারী ঘোষণা করবেন, যারা যে জিনিসের ‘ইবাদাত করতে, তারা সে জিনিসের কাছে গমন কর। এরপর যারা ক্রুশপূজারী ছিল, তারা যাবে তাদের ক্রুশের কাছে। মূর্তিপূজারীরা যাবে তাদের মূর্তির সঙ্গে।

সকলেই তাদের উপাস্যের সঙ্গে যাবে। বাকী থাকবে একমাত্র আল্লাহর ‘ইবাদাতকারীরা। নেক্কার ও বদকার সকলেই এবং আহলে কিতাবের কতক লোকও থাকবে। অতঃপর জাহান্নামকে আনা হবে। সেটি তখন থাকবে মরীচিকার মত। ইয়াহূদীদেরকে জিজ্ঞাসা করা হবে, তোমরা কিসের ‘ইবাদাত করতে?

তারা উত্তর করবে, আমরা আল্লাহর পুত্র উযায়র (আঃ)-এর ‘ইবাদাত করতাম। তখন তাদেরকে বলা হবে, তোমরা মিথ্যা বলছ। কারণ আল্লাহর কোন স্ত্রীও নেই এবং নেই তাঁর কোন সন্তান। এখন তোমরা কী চাও? তারা বলবে, আমরা চাই, আমাদেরকে পানি পান করান। তখন তাদেরকে বলা হবে, তোমরা পানি পান কর। এরপর তারা জাহান্নামে নিক্ষিপ্ত হতে থাকবে।

তারপর নাসারাদেরকে বলা হবে, তোমরা কিসের ‘ইবাদাত করতে? তারা বলবে, আমরা আল্লাহর পুত্র মসীহের ‘ইবাদাত করতাম। তখন তাদেরকে বলা হবে, তোমরা মিথ্যা বলছ। আল্লাহর কোন স্ত্রীও ছিল না, সন্তানও ছিল না। এখন তোমরা কী চাও? তারা বলবে, আমাদের ইচ্ছা আপনি আমাদেরকে পানি পান করতে দিন।

তাদেরকে উত্তর দেয়া হবে, তোমরা পান কর। তারপর তারা জাহান্নামে নিক্ষিপ্ত হতে থাকবে। অবশেষে বাকী থাকবে একমাত্র আল্লাহর ‘ইবাদাতকারীগণ। তাদের নেক্কার ও বদকার সকলেই। তাদেরকে লক্ষ্য করে বলা হবে, কোন্ জিনিস তোমাদেরকে আটকে রেখেছে? অথচ অন্যরা তো চলে গেছে। তারা বলবে, আমরা তো সেদিন তাদের থেকে আলাদা রয়েছি, যেদিন আজকের চেয়ে তাদের অধিক প্রয়োজন ছিল।

আমরা একজন ঘোষণাকারীর এ ঘোষণাটি দিতে শুনেছি যে, যারা যাদের ‘ইবাদাত করত তারা যেন ওদের সঙ্গে যায়। আমরা অপেক্ষা করছি আমাদের রবের। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেনঃ এরপর মহাক্ষমতাশালী আল্লাহ্ তাদের কাছে আসবেন। এবার তিনি সে সুরতে আসবেন না, যেভাবে তাঁকে প্রথমে ঈমানদারগণ দেখেছিলেন। এসে তিনি ঘোষণা দেবেন- আমি তোমাদের রবব, সবাই তখন বলে উঠবে আপনিই আমাদের প্রতিপালক।

আর সেদিন নবীগণ ছাড়া তাঁর সঙ্গে কেউ কথা বলতে পারবে না। আল্লাহ্ তাদেরকে বলবেন, তোমাদের এবং তাঁর মাঝখানে পরিচয়ের জন্য কোন আলামত আছে কি? তারা বলবেন, পায়ের নলা। তখন পায়ের নলা খুলে দেয়া হবে। এই দেখে ঈমানদারগণ সবাই সিজদা্য় পড়ে যাবে। বাকি থাকবে তারা, যারা লোক-দেখানো এবং লোক-শোনানো সিজদা্ করেছিল। তবে তারা সিজদার মনোভাব নিয়ে সিজদা্ করার জন্য যাবে, কিন্তু তাদের মেরুদন্ড একটি তক্তার মত শক্ত হয়ে যাবে।

এমন সময় জাহান্নামের উপর পুল স্থাপন করা হবে। সাহাবীগণ বললেন, সে পুলটি কেমন হবে হে আল্লাহর রাসূল? তিনি বললেনঃ দুর্গম পিচ্ছিল স্থান। এর ওপর আংটা ও হুক থাকবে, শক্ত চওড়া উল্টো কাঁটা বিশিষ্ট হবে, যা নাজ্দ দেশের সাদান বৃক্ষের কাঁটার মত হবে। সে পুলের উপর দিয়ে ঈমানদারগণের কেউ পার হয়ে যাবে চোখের পলকের মতো, কেউ বিদ্যুতের মতো, কেউ বাতাসের মতো আবার কেউ দ্রুতগামী ঘোড়া ও সাওয়ারের মতো।

তবে মুক্তিপ্রাপ্তরা কেউ নিরাপদে চলে আসবেন, আবার কেউ জাহান্নামের আগুনে ক্ষতবিক্ষত হয়ে যাবে। এ কবারে শেষে অতিক্রম করবে যে লোকটি, সে হেঁচড়িয়ে কোন ভাবে পার হয়ে আসবে। এখন তোমরা হকের বিষয়ে আমার চেয়ে অধিক কঠোর নও, যতটুকু সেদিন ঈমানদারগণ আল্লাহর সম্মুখে হয়ে থাকবে, যা তোমাদের কাছে স্পষ্ট হয়ে গেছে। যখন ঈমানদারগণ এ দৃশ্যটি দেখবে যে, তাদের ভাইদেরকে রেখে একমাত্র তারাই মুক্তি পেয়েছে, তখন তারা বলবে, হে আমাদের রব!

আমাদের সেসব ভাই কোথায়, যারা আমাদের সঙ্গে সালাত আদায় করত, সওম পালন কত, নেক কাজ করত? তখন আল্লাহ্ তা‘আলা তাদেরকে বলবেন, তোমরা যাও, যাদের অন্তরে এক দ্বীনার পরিমাণ ঈমান পাবে, তাদেরকে জাহান্নাম থেকে বের করে আন। আল্লাহ্ তাদের মুখমন্ডল জাহান্নামের ওপর হারাম করে দিয়েছেন। এদের কেউ কেউ দু’পা ও দু’পায়ের নলার বেশি পর্যন্ত জাহান্নামের মধ্যে থাকবে।

তারা যাদেরকে চিনতে পারে, তাদেরকে বের করবে। তারপর এরা আবার ফিরে আসবে। আল্লাহ্ আবার তাদেরকে বলবেন, তোমরা যাও, যাদের অন্তরে অর্ধ দ্বীনার পরিমাণ ঈমান পাবে, তাদেরকে বের করে নিয়ে আসবে। তারা গিয়ে তাদেরকেই বের করে নিয়ে আসবে, যাদেরকে তারা চিনতে পারবে। তারপর আবার ফিরে আসবে। আল্লাহ্ তাদেরকে আবার বলবেন, তোমরা যাও, যাদের অন্তরে অণু পরিমাণ ঈমান পাবে, তাদেরকে বের করে নিয়ে আসবে।

তারা যাদেরকে চিনতে পারবে তাদেরকে বের করে নিয়ে আসবে। বর্ণনাকারী আবূ সা‘ঈদ খুদরী (রাঃ) বলেন, তোমরা যদি আমাকে বিশ্বাস না কর, তাহলে আল্লাহর এ বাণীটি পড়ঃ ‘‘আল্লাহ অণু পরিমাণও যুল্ম করেন না, আর কোন পুণ্য কাজ হলে তাকে তিনি দ্বিগুণ করেন’’- (সূরাহ আন্-নিসা ৪/৪০)। তারপর নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম, ফেরেশ্তা ও মু’মিনগণ সুপারিশ করবে।

তখন মহা পরাক্রান্ত আল্লাহ্ বলবেন, এখন শুধু আমার শাফাআতই বাকী রয়েছে। তিনি জাহান্নাম থেকে একমুষ্টি ভরে এমন কতগুলো কওমকে বের করবেন, যারা জ্বলে পুড়ে দগ্ধ হয়ে গিয়েছে। তারপর তাদেরকে জান্নাতের সম্মুখে অবস্থিত ‘হায়াত’ নামের নহরে ঢালা হবে। তারা সে নহরের দু’পার্শ্বে এমনভাবে উদগত হবে, যেমন পাথর এবং গাছের কিনারে বয়ে আনা আবর্জনায় বীজ থেকে তৃণ উদগত হয়।

দেখতে পাও তার মধ্যে সূর্যের আলোর অংশের গাছগুলো সাধারণত সবুজ হয়, ছায়ার অংশেরগুলো সাদা হয়। তারা সেখান থেকে মুক্তার দানার মত বের হবে। তাদের গর্দানে মোহর লাগানো হবে। জান্নাতে তারা যখন প্রবেশ করবে, তখন অন্যান্য জান্নাতবাসীরা বলবেন, এরা হলেন রাহমান কর্তৃক আযাদকৃত যাদেরকে আল্লাহ্ কোন নেক ‘আমল কিংবা কল্যাণকর কাজ ব্যতীতই জান্নাতে দাখিল করেছেন।

তখন তাদেরকে বলা হবেঃ তোমরা যা দেখেছ, সবই তো তোমাদের, এর সঙ্গে আরো সমপরিমাণ তোমাদেরকে দেয়া হলো। [২২; মুসলিম ১/৮১, হাঃ ১৮৩, আহমাদ ১১১২৭]

ہم سے یحییٰ بن بکیر نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے لیث بن سعد نے، ان سے خالد بن یزید نے، ان سے سعید بن ابی ہلال نے، ان سے زید بن اسلم نے، ان سے عطاء بن یسار نے اور ان سے ابوسعید خدری رضی اللہ عنہ نے بیان کیا کہ ہم نے کہا: یا رسول اللہ! کیا ہم قیامت کے دن اپنے رب کو دیکھیں گے؟

نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے دریافت فرمایا کہ کیا تم کو سورج اور چاند دیکھنے میں کچھ تکلیف ہوتی ہے جب کہ آسمان بھی صاف ہو؟

ہم نے کہا کہ نہیں۔ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اس پر فرمایا کہ پھر اپنے رب کے دیدار میں تمہیں کوئی تکلیف نہیں پیش آئے گی جس طرح سورج اور چاند کو دیکھنے میں نہیں پیش آتی۔ پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ ایک آواز دینے والا آواز دے گا کہ ہر قوم اس کے ساتھ جائے جس کی وہ پوجا کیا کرتی تھی۔

چنانچہ صلیب کے پجاری اپنی صلیب کے ساتھ، بتوں کے پجاری اپنے بتوں کے ساتھ، تمام جھوٹے معبودوں کے پجاری اپنے جھوٹے معبودوں کے ساتھ چلے جائیں گے اور صرف وہ لوگ باقی رہ جائیں گے جو خالص اللہ کی عبادت کرنے والے تھے۔ ان میں نیک و بد دونوں قسم کے مسلمانوں ہوں گے اور اہل کتاب کے کچھ باقی ماندہ لوگ بھی ہوں گے۔

پھر دوزخ ان کے سامنے پیش کی جائے گی وہ ایسی چمکدار ہو گی جیسے میدان کا ریت ہوتا ہے۔ ( جو دور سے پانی معلوم ہوتا ہے ) پھر یہود سے پوچھا جائے گا کہ تم کس کے پوجا کرتے تھے۔ وہ کہیں گے کہ ہم عزیر ابن اللہ کی پوجا کیا کرتے تھے۔

انہیں جواب ملے گا کہ تم جھوٹے ہو اللہ کے نہ کوئی بیوی ہے اور نہ کوئی لڑکا۔ تم کیا چاہتے ہو؟ وہ کہیں گے کہ ہم پانی پینا چاہتے ہیں کہ ہمیں اس سے سیراب کیا جائے۔

ان سے کہا جائے گا کہ پیو وہ اس چمکتی ریت کی طرف پانی جان کر چلیں گے اور پھر وہ جہنم میں ڈال دئیے جائیں گے۔ پھر نصاریٰ سے کہا جائے گا کہ تم کس کی پوجا کرتے تھے؟

وہ جواب دیں گے کہ ہم مسیح ابن اللہ کی پوجا کرتے تھے۔ ان سے کہا جائے گا کہ تم جھوٹے ہو۔ اللہ کے نہ بیوی تھی اور نہ کوئی بچہ، اب تم کیا چاہتے ہو؟ وہ کہیں گے کہ ہم چاہتے ہیں کہ پانی سے سیراب کئے جائیں۔

ان سے کہا جائے گا کہ پیو ( ان کو بھی اس چمکتی ریت کی طرف چلایا جائے گا ) اور انہیں بھی جہنم میں ڈال دیا جائے گا۔ یہاں تک کہ وہی باقی رہ جائیں گے جو خالص اللہ کی عبادت کرتے تھے، نیک و بد دونوں قسم کے مسلمان، ان سے کہا جائے گا کہ تم لوگ کیوں رکے ہوئے ہو جب کہ سب لوگ جا چکے ہیں؟

وہ کہیں گے ہم دنیا میں ان سے ایسے وقت جدا ہوئے کہ ہمیں ان کی دنیاوی فائدوں کے لیے بہت زیادہ ضرورت تھی اور ہم نے ایک آواز دینے والے کو سنا ہے کہ ہر قوم اس کے ساتھ ہو جائے جس کی وہ عبادت کرتی تھی اور ہم اپنے رب کے منتظر ہیں۔ بیان کیا کہ پھر اللہ جبار ان کے سامنے اس صورت کے علاوہ دوسری صورت میں آئے گا جس میں انہوں نے اسے پہلی مرتبہ دیکھا ہو گا اور کہے گا کہ میں تمہارا رب ہوں!

لوگ کہیں گے کہ تو ہی ہمارا رب ہے اور اس دن انبیاء کے سوا اور کوئی بات نہیں کرے گا۔ پھر پوچھے گا: کیا تمہیں اس کی کوئی نشانی معلوم ہے؟ وہ کہیں گے کہ «ساق‏.‏» پنڈلی، پھر اللہ تعالیٰ اپنی پنڈلی کھولے گا اور ہر مومن اس کے لیے سجدہ میں گر جائے گا۔

صرف وہ لوگ باقی رہ جائیں گے جو دکھاوے اور شہرت کے لیے اسے سجدہ کرتے تھے، وہ بھی سجدہ کرنا چاہیں گے لیکن ان کی پیٹھ تختہ کی طرح ہو کر رہ جائے گی۔ پھر انہیں پل پر لایا جائے گا۔

ہم نے پوچھا: یا رسول اللہ! پل کیا چیز ہے؟ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا , وہ ایک پھسلواں گرنے کا مقام ہے اس پر سنسنیاں ہیں، آنکڑے ہیں، چوڑے چوڑے کانٹے ہیں، ان کے سر خمدار سعدان کے کانٹوں کی طرح ہیں جو نجد کے ملک میں ہوتے ہیں۔ مومن اس پر پلک مارنے کی طرح، بجلی کی طرح، ہوا کی طرح، تیز رفتار گھوڑے اور سواری کی طرح گزر جائیں گے۔

ان میں بعض تو صحیح سلامت نجات پانے والے ہوں گے اور بعض جہنم کی آگ سے جھلس کر بچ نکلنے والے ہوں گے یہاں تک کہ آخری شخص اس پر سے گھسٹتے ہوئے گزرے گا تم لوگ آج کے دن اپنا حق لینے کے لیے جتنا تقاضا اور مطالبہ مجھ سے کرتے ہو اس سے زیادہ مسلمان لوگ اللہ سے تقاضا اور مطالبہ کریں گے اور جب وہ دیکھیں گے کہ اپنے بھائیوں میں سے انہیں نجات ملی ہے تو وہ کہیں گے کہ اے ہمارے رب!

ہمارے بھائی بھی ہمارے ساتھ نماز پڑھتے تھے اور ہمارے ساتھ روزے رکھتے تھے اور ہمارے ساتھ دوسرے ( نیک ) اعمال کرتے تھے ( ان کو بھی دوزخ سے نجات فرما ) چنانچہ اللہ تعالیٰ فرمائے گا کہ جاؤ اور جس کے دل میں ایک اشرفی کے برابر بھی ایمان پاؤ اسے دوزخ سے نکال لو اور اللہ ان کے چہروں کو دوزخ پر حرام کر دے گا۔

چنانچہ وہ آئیں گے اور دیکھیں گے کہ بعض کا تو جہنم میں قدم اور آدھی پنڈلی جلی ہوئی ہے۔ چنانچہ جنہیں وہ پہچانیں گے انہیں دوزخ سے نکالیں گے، پھر واپس آئیں گے اور اللہ تعالیٰ ان سے فرمائے گا کہ جاؤ اور جس کے دل میں آدھی اشرفی کے برابر بھی ایمان ہو اسے بھی نکال لاؤ۔

چنانچہ جن کو وہ پہچانتے ہوں گے ان کو نکالیں گے۔ پھر وہ واپس آئیں گے اور اللہ تعالیٰ فرمائے گا کہ جاؤ اور جس کے دل میں ذرہ برابر ایمان ہو اسے بھی نکال لاؤ۔ چنانچہ پہچانے جانے والوں کو نکالیں گے۔

ابوسعید رضی اللہ عنہ نے اس پر کہا کہ اگر تم میری تصدیق نہیں کرتے تو یہ آیت پڑھو «إن الله لا يظلم مثقال ذرة وإن تك حسنة يضاعفها‏» ”اللہ تعالیٰ ذرہ برابر بھی کسی پر ظلم نہیں کرتا۔“ اگر نیکی ہے تو اسے بڑھاتا ہے۔ پھر انبیاء اور مومنین اور فرشتے شفاعت کریں گے اور پروردگار کا ارشاد ہو گا کہ اب خاص میری شفاعت باقی رہ گئی ہے۔

چنانچہ اللہ تعالیٰ دوزخ سے ایک مٹھی بھر لے گا اور ایسے لوگوں کو نکالے گا جو کوئلہ ہو گئے ہوں گے۔ پھر وہ جنت کے سرے پر ایک نہر میں ڈال دئیے جائیں گے جسے نہر آب حیات کہا جاتا ہے اور یہ لوگ اس کے کنارے سے اس طرح ابھریں گے جس طرح سیلاب کے کوڑے کرکٹ سے سبزہ ابھر آتا ہے۔

تم نے یہ منظر کسی چٹان کے یا کسی درخت کے کنارے دیکھا ہو گا تو جس پر دھوپ پڑتی رہتی ہے وہ سبزا بھرتا ہے اور جس پر سایہ ہوتا ہے وہ سفید ابھرتا ہے۔ پھر وہ اس طرح نکلیں گے جیسے موتی چمکتا ہے۔ اس کے بعد ان کی گردنوں پر مہر کر دی جائیں گے ( کہ یہ اللہ کے آزاد کردہ غلام ہیں ) اور انہیں جنت میں داخل کیا جائے گا۔

اہل جنت انہیں «عتقاء الرحمن» کہیں گے۔ انہیں اللہ نے بلا عمل کے جو انہوں نے کیا ہو اور بلا خیر کے جو ان سے صادر ہوئی ہو جنت میں داخل کیا ہے۔

اور ان سے کہا جائے گا کہ تمہیں وہ سب کچھ ملے گا جو تم دیکھتے ہو اور اتنا ہی اور بھی ملے گا۔

Ebu Said el-Hudri şöyle demiştir: Biz "Ya Resulallah! Kıyamet gününde bizler Rabbimizi görecek miyiz?" diye sordu k. Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem "Sizler gökyüzünde bulut olmadığı zaman güneşi ve ayı görmek için birbirinizi sıkıştınp, darlığa düşer misiniz?!!

buyurdu. Biz "Hayır" deyince, Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem "Şüphesiz sizler güneş ile ayı görmekte birbirinizi sıkıştırıp, darlığa düşürmediğiniz gibi o gün Rabbinizi görmekte de hiç birbirinizi sıkıştırıp darlığa düşmeyeceksiniz!!

buyurdu. Sonra şöyle devam etti: "Her bir kavmin dünyada ibadet edegeldiği şeye gitmesi için bir nidacı nida eder. Bunun üzerine haçlılar haçlarıyla, puta tapanlar putlarıyla her bir mabudun tapanları kendi mabudlarıyla giderler. Nihayet itaatkar olsun, günahkar olsun, hak üzere kalan kitap ehlinin geride kalanları olsun Allah'a ibadet etmekte olanlar kalır.

Sonra cehenneme getirilirler, cehennem onlara gösterilir ki sanki cehennem onların nazarında bir seraptır. Yahudilere 'Sizler kime tapardınız?' diye sorulur. Onlar 'Biz Allah'ın oğlu Üzeyr'e tapardık' derler. Bunun üzerine onlara Siz yalan söylüyorsunuz. Allah Teala hiçbir eş, hiçbir oğul edinmiş değildir. Şimdi söyleyin iz istediğiniz nedir?'

denilir. Yahudiler 'Ya Rab! Bize su içirmeni istiyoruz' derler. Onlara 'Haydi içiniz' denilir ve birbiri ardınca cehennemin içine dökülürler. Sonra Hıristiyanlara hitaben 'Sizler kime tapardınız?' diye sorulur. Onlar da 'Biz Allah'ın oğlu Mesih'e tapardık' derler. Bunun üzerine onlara 'Siz yalan söylüyorsunuz. Allah Teala hiçbir eş, hiçbir oğul edinmiş değildir.

Şimdi söyleyin iz ne istiyorsunuz?' denilir. Onlar da 'Bize su içirmeni istiyoruz' derler. Onlara da 'Haydin su için!' denilir de birbiri ardınca cehennemin içine dökülürler. Nihayet itaatkar olsun, günahkar olsun Allah'a ibadet etmekte olanlar kalır. Onlara da 'İnsanlar hep gittikleri halde sizleri burada alıkoyan nedir?' denilir.

Onlar 'Biz şimdikinden ziyade kendilerine muhtaç iken onlardan dünyada ayrılmıştık. (Şimdi nasılolur da onların arkasına takılırız?) Biz bir nidacının 'Her kavim vaktiyle ibadet ettiği ne idiyse ona kavuşsun!' diye nida ettiğini işittik. Bundan dolayı bizler Rabbimizi bekleyip duruyoruz!' derler." Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle devam etti: "Meydanda kalan mu'minlere cebbar olan Allah onları ilk defa gördükleri, tanıdıkları suretten başka bir surette gelir ve 'Ben sizin Rabbinizim!'

der. Onlar da 'Sen bizim Rabbimizsin!' derler. Artık onunla Nebilerden başkası konuşamaz. Allah Teala 'Rabbinizi tanıyabilmek için aranızda bir alamet var mıdır?' diye sorar. Onlar 'Evet saktır!' demeleri üzerine Allah Teala sakını açacaktır. Bunun üzerine her mu'min Allah'a secde eder. Allah'a riya ve şöhret için secde eden kimseler kalır.

Onlar da secde etmeye davranırlar fakat onların sırtı tek bir tahta gibi kaskatı bir tabakaya döner. Sonra köprü getirilir de cehennemin ortasına kurulur." Biz "Ya Resulallah! Köprü nedir?" dedik.

Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: :4yakların kayacağı bir yerdir ki üzerinde başları eğri demirden çengeller, dikenler, sert, keskin, enli şeyler vardır. Bunların Necid'de olan ve Sa'dan denilen dikenler gibi uçları kıurık, eğri dikenleri vardır. Mu'minlerin kimi onun üzerinden göz kırpacak kadar zaman içinde, kimi şimşek gibi, kimi rüzgar gibi, kimi iyi cins yörük at ve develer gibi süratle geçerler.

Bunların kimi sapsağlam olduğu gibi kurtulur. Kimi tırmıklar içinde perişan olmuş olarak salıverilir. Kimi de cehennem ateşi içine sapır sapır düşer. Nihayet sonuncuları sürüklene sürüklene geçer, kurtulur. Bugün ortaya çıkmış hakkını kurtarmak için hiçbirinizin bana yalvarıp yakarması, o (dehşetli) günde asi mu'minin cebbar olan Yüce Allah'a yalvarıp yakarmasına benzemez.

Onların kardeşleri arasında kurtulduklarını gördüklerinde 'Ey Rabbimiz! Bu kalanlar bizim kardeşlerimizdir. Onlar bizimle birlikte namaz kılar, oruç tutar, her türlü iyi işlerde bulunurlardı. ' Allah Teala 'Haydin gidin, kalbinde bir dinar ağırlığında iman olan her kimi bulursanız çıkarın!' buyuracaktır. Allah Teala onların suretlerini yakmayı ateşe haram edecektir.

Artık bunlar kimi ayağının üstüne, kimi de yarı inciğine kadar ateşe gömülerek içeriye dalıp, tanıdıklarını çıkaracaklardır. Yine Yüce Allah 'Haydin bir daha gidin, kalbinde zerre ağırlığınca iman olan kimi bulursanız çıkarın!' buyuracaktır. Yine böyle olanlardan tanıdıklarını çıkarıp döneceklerdir. Yine Yüce Allah 'Haydin bir daha gidin, kalbinde zerre ağırlığınca iman olan kimi bulursanız çıkarın!'buyuracaktır.

Yine böyle olanlardan tanıdıklarını çıkaracaklardır. " Ebu Said şöyle devam etti: "Eğer bu dediğime inanmıyorsanız "Şüphe yok ki Allah zerre kadar haksızlık etmez. (Kulun yaptığı iş eğer bir kötülük ise onun cezasını adaletle verir.) İyilik olursa, onu katlar (kat kat arttırır). Kendinden de büyük mükafat verir.

"(Nisa 40) ayetini okuyunuz. "Kısacası Nebiler, melekler, mu'minler şefaat edeceklerdir. Derken cebbar olan Yüce Allah Artık sıra benim şefaatime geldi!' buyuracak ve ateşten bir kabza tutacak ve simsiyah yanmış olan birtakım kavimleri dışarı çıkaracak, akabinde bunlar cennetin yolları üzerinde olup, hayat nehri denilen bir nehrin içine atılacaklardır.

Onlar o nehrin iki kıyısında sel uğrağında biten yabani (reyhan) tohumlarının bittiği gibi biteceklerdir. Sizler o tohumları taşın kenarında, ağacın yan tarafında görmüşsünüzdür. Onlardan güneşte olanları yeşildir, gölgeli olanları da beyazdır. Sonra onlar bu nehirden (beyaz ve parlak) inciler gibi çıkacaklar, boyunlarına kendileriyle tanınacakları (altın, gümüş türünden) hatemler takılacak ve cennete gireceklerdir.

Cennet ahalisi 'İşte bunlar hiçbir amelleri, geçmiş hiçbir hayırları olmadığı halde Allah 'ın cennete koyduğu azaldıklarıdır!' diyeceklerdir

What it means

Some of the Companions asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) if they will see their Lord on the Day of Judgment. He answered in the affirmative, saying that they will see their Lord just as they see the sun at noon and the moon in the full moonlit night, without crowding or competing for it. The similarity drawn here is related to the clarity of vision and the removal of doubt and difficulty.

It is a similarity of clear vision in both cases, not of the seen objects. This sight of Allah is different from the sight of Him in Paradise, which is particular to the allies of Allah as an honor for them. The sight of Him in this Hadīth distinguishes between those who worshiped Allah and those who worshiped other deities. Then the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said that on the Day of Judgment, a proclaimer will proclaim: "Whoever worshiped other than Allah, let him follow what he worshiped."

Another authentic narration says that Allah, the Almighty, is the One Who proclaims. Hence, all those who worshiped idols and stones would be gathered and thrown in the fire of Hell until only those who worshiped Allah remain, both the righteous and the sinful thereof, as well as some remnants of the Jews and the Christians, for most of them will have gone along with their idols to Hell.

Hell will be presented to the people in that situation as if it is a mirage. Then the Jews will be summoned, and it will be said to them: "What did you worship?" They will say: "We worshiped ‘Uzayr, the son of Allah."

It will be said to them: "You tell a lie; Allah never had a spouse or a son. What do you want now?" They will say: "We want to drink." Their primary request will be water because the successive terrors on that day will have made them extremely thirsty.

Hell will seem to be water to them, so they will be told to go and drink from what they see as water. Thus, they will go, only to find that it is Hell with its raging parts, which will be consuming one another, and they will fall into it. The same will happen to the Christians after them, until no one is left except those who worshiped Allah, be they pious or sinful.

It will be said to them: "Why are you still here while everyone else has gone?" They will say: "We kept ourselves separate from the people in the world though we were in great need of them because they disobeyed Allah and went against His command. So we did not associate ourselves with them, hating them for the sake of Allah and giving precedence to obeying our Lord.

We now await our Lord, Whom we used to worship in our worldly life." Allah, the Almighty, will come to them in a form other than the one they saw the first time. This is an explicit indication that they had seen Him in a form that was recognizable to them before this time. It is invalid to interpret this scene differently; rather, it must be accepted without asking 'How?'

or drawing analogies or distorting or negating it. When Allah, the Almighty, comes to them, He will say: "I am your Lord." They will joyfully say: "You are our Lord." Then only the prophets will speak to Him. He will say: "Is there a sign between you and Him by which you recognize Him?" They will say: "The Shin." So He will reveal His Shin, and the believers will recognize Him and fall in prostration before Him.

The hypocrites, however, who used to prostrate out of ostentation, will be prevented from prostrating. Their backs will be like one stiff layer, unable to bow or prostrate. That is because they did not prostrate to Allah in the worldly life; rather, they prostrated to serve their worldly purposes. This scene establishes that Allah, the Almighty, has a Shin as one of His Attributes.

Thus, this Hadīth and similar ones interpret the noble verse: {The Day the Shin will be uncovered and they are invited to prostration but they will not be able to do so} [Sūrat al-Qalam: 42]. To interpret 'Shin' in this context as 'severe affliction' or 'distress' is an outweighed interpretation. In any case, the Attribute of the 'Shin' is established for Allah, the Almighty, from the Sunnah.

The preponderant view is that the verse indicates the Attribute, without asking "How?" or drawing analogies or distorting or negating. Then the Sirāt will be set up over Hell. It is slippery, feet cannot stand firm on it, with hooks to seize some of the passers on the Sirāt and thick flat thorns. The people will then pass over the Sirāt according to their faith and deeds.

Those of perfect faith and good deeds that were sincere to Allah will pass like the twinkling of an eye, others will pass like lightning, like wind, etc. Those who pass over the Sirāt will be of four categories: The first: Those who will be saved and safe from harm. They pass at different speeds, as mentioned above. The second: Those who will be saved but will sustain scratches from the hooks or lacerations from the flames of Hell.

The third: Those who will be cast into Hell, forcefully thrown into it. The fourth: Those who will be dragged on the Sirāt because they did not have enough good deeds to carry them over it. Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There will be none among you more eager to claim a right from me than the believers on the Day of Judgment from their Lord, the Almighty."

This is part of the mercy and generosity of Allah, as He permits His believing slaves to implore Him to pardon their brethren who were thrown in Hell because of the sins that they defied their Lord with. He will inspire the believers who were saved from the torment of the Fire and the terrors of the Sirāt to implore Him and intercede with Him for those sinning slaves.

This is indeed an aspect of His mercy, exalted be He. They will say: "O our Lord, they were our brethren who prayed with us, fasted with us, and did good deeds with us." This indicates that those who do not pray with the Muslims nor fast with them are not entitled to the intercession of the believers with their Lord on their behalf.

It also indicates that those whom the believers interceded for were also believers who worshiped Allah alone. They used to pray and fast, but they committed some sins which entailed entering Hell. This is a refutation of two deviant sects: the Kharijites and the Mu‘tazilites, who claim that whoever enters Hell never comes out of it and that the person who commits a major sin will remain eternally in Hell.

Allah, the Almighty, will say to the believers: "Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of a dinar (a gold coin)." And Allah will forbid the Fire to burn the faces of those sinners. They will go and find that some of them will have been overtaken by fire up to their feet, and some up to the middle of the shank or up to the knees.

They will take out those whom they recognize. Then they will return and implore Allah again. He will say: "Go and take out anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of half a dinar." They will take out those whom they recognize. Then they will return and implore Allah again. He will say: "Go and take out anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of an atom."

They will take out those whom they recognize. At this point, Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri said: "If you do not believe me, then recite (the noble verse): {Surely Allah wrongs not the weight of an atom; and if it is a good deed, He multiplies it.} [Sūrat An-Nisā': 40]" The fact that Abu Sa‘īd used this verse as evidence is clear proof that if the slave had an atom’s weight of faith in his heart, Allah will multiply it for him and thus save him from the torment thereby.

Then he said: "The prophets, the angels, and the believers will intercede." This is explicit proof that these three categories will be granted permission to intercede. However, it must be noted that any intercession from anyone does not take place except after Allah, the Almighty, permits it, as proved by their imploring their Lord, upon which He gives them permission and says: "Go and take out anyone you find…" He said: "Then the Almighty will say: 'Now remains My Intercession.'

He will then hold a handful of the Fire, from which He will take out some people whose bodies have been charred." The intercession of Allah, the Almighty, means bestowing His Mercy upon those tormented slaves, so He takes them out of the Fire. The statement: "He will then hold a handful," establishes that Allah, the Almighty, has a grip with which He holds a handful.

There are several texts in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger that establish the attributes of the 'Hand' and 'Grip' for Allah, the Almighty. However, the advocates of distorted, flawed interpretations refuse to accept these attributes and do not believe in them.

They shall soon know that the truth is what Allah said and what His Messenger said: and they will realize that they had gone astray in this regard. Allah, the Almighty, will hold a handful of the Fire from which He will take out some people whose bodies have been charred. They will then be cast into a river called the water of life on the outskirts of Paradise.

Upon that, their flesh and bones and vision that were burnt by the fire will grow again near that river just as a seed grows from the silt carried by flood water. "You have noticed how it grows beside a rock or beside a tree and how the side facing the sun is green while the side facing the shade is white." This means that their flesh will grow swiftly, because the seed carried by the torrent germinates quite fast.

"The side facing the shade is white while the side facing the sun is green" due to its fragility and tenderness. This simile does not necessarily mean that those people will grow with those colors, as some interpreters said: "The side facing Paradise will be white, while the side facing Hell will be green."

Rather, the simile is intended to resemble them to said plant in the swiftness of its growth and its fragility. Therefore, he said that they will come out (of the water of life) like pearls in the purity and beauty of their skin.

"And they will have seals on their necks" on which it is written: The ones emancipated from Hell by the Most Merciful. "Then they will enter Paradise, whereupon the people of Paradise will say: 'These are the people emancipated by the Most Merciful. He has admitted them into Paradise without them having done any good deeds and without sending forth any good (for themselves).'"

This means that though they did not do good deeds in worldly life, they do have the fundamental basis of faith, which consists of testifying that there is no god but Allah and believing in their Messenger.

"Then it will be said to them: 'For you is what you have seen and its equivalent as well.'" Apparently, they will enter vacant places in Paradise; hence, this was said to them.
