Conditions of the Day of Judgment

79. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Abu Ubeyda Al-Haza’a, from Suweyr Bin Abu Fakhta who said: I heard Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام Bin Al-Husayn عليه الصلاة والسلام narrating in the Masjid of the Rasool صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Allah عز وجل saying: ‘Narrated to me عليه الصلاة والسلام by my عليه الصلاة والسلام father عليه الصلاة والسلام, and he عليه الصلاة والسلام heard it from his عليه الصلاة والسلام father عليه الصلاة والسلام Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام Bin Abu Talib عليه الصلاة والسلام narrating to the people saying: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, Allah عز وجل will Resurrect the people from their graves in their isolation, without beards, in one plane, being driven by the light, and Gather them in the darkness until they are paused upon the hurdle on the Place of Resurrection. So, some of them will climb upon the others, becoming over crowded. They will be prevented from passing. Their breathing will be heavy and they will sweat profusely, and their affairs would be constricted, their noises would intensify, and their voices would be raised. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘This will be the first sensation from the sensations of the Day of Judgement’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The Compeller عز وجل Blessed and High will Attend to them from above His عز وجل Throne in the shadow of the Angels, so He عز وجل Command an Angel from the Angels who would call out among them: ‘O group of creatures! Listen, and listen intently to the Caller of the Compeller عز وجل’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So the last of them would hear it just as the first of them’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Their voices would break up due to that, and they will anxiously look around and their body parts would become restless, and their hearts would be in a panic, and they will be raising their heads towards the direction of the voice hastening to the Caller’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So when that happens, the Infidel would say, ‘This is a difficult day’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So the Compeller عز وجل Mighty and Majestic would Attend to be the Judge over them, so He عز وجل will Say to them: “I عز وجل am Allah عز وجل. There is no god except for Me عز وجل. I عز وجل am the Equitable Judge Whom will not Let any injustice be done today. I عز وجل Shall Judge between you all with Justice and Equity. No one will be done injustice in My عز وجل Presence today. I عز وجل shall Take the rights for weak ones from the strong ones and for those who have suffered injustices will be retaliation from the good deeds and the sins as compensation and be Rewarded for the gifts. And no one will be Permitted today in My عز وجل Presence, as an unjust one or one to whom injustice has been done except if he waives his right against the other one, and I عز وجل shall Take from him (the unjust one) during the Accounting correlated. O you creatures! And seek what is due to you from the one who was unjust to you for it in the world, and I عز وجل am a Witness for you against them, and I عز وجل am sufficient as a Witness’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So they will recognise each other and seize the opportunity. So not one would remain for whom there would be anything from the unjust one any right except that he would claim for it’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So they would do that for as long as Allah عز وجل so Desires. Their condition would become difficult, and they will sweat profusely, and their grief would intensify, and they would be raising their voices by intense noise. So they would wish to be finished from it by letting go of their rights and not bother to claim for it from the unjust ones’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘And Allah عز وجل would Know of their struggles, so a Caller would Call out from the Presence of Allah عز وجل Blessed and High which the last of them would hear as well as the first of them: ‘O group of creatures, listen intently to the Caller of Allah عز وجل Blessed and High, and listen to what Allah عز وجل Blessed and High is Saying to you all: ‘I عز وجل Am the Bestower and would Love it if you would gift (forego) each other and if you do not then I عز وجل will Take it for you from the one who was unjust to you’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So they would become happy with that due to their difficult struggles, and constriction, and their behaviour and contention’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So some of them would forego their rights in the hope that it would finish them from the situation that they would be in, and there would remain some of them who would say, ‘O Lord عز وجل, our rights are greater than us being able to forego them’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So a Caller would Call out from beside the Throne: ‘Where is Rizwaan, the keeper of the Gardens of Al-Firdows?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic will Command him to display from Al-Firdows a castle of silver with whatever is inside it from the construction and the servants’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The butlers and the servants would be seen on the grounds of the castle’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So a Caller would Call out from the Presence of Allah عز وجل Blessed and High: “O group of creatures! Raise your heads and look at this castle’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So they will be raising their heads, and each one of them would wish for it’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So a Caller will Call out from the Presence of Allah عز وجل: “O group of creatures! This is for every one forgives a Believer’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So all of them would be forgiving except for a few’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic will Say: “There is no Permission to My عز وجل Paradise today for the unjust one, and there is no Permission today to the Fire today for the one who was oppressed, or anyone from the Muslims who has in his possession somebody’s rights until it will be Taken from him during the Accounting. O you creatures! Be prepared for the Accounting’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Then their way would be cleared for them, so they will be moving to the next stage preparing one another until they end up at the Plains, and the Compeller عز وجل Blessed and High would be upon the Throne. The registers (of deeds) would have been published, the scales set, and the Prophets عليه السلام, and the witnesses عليه الصلاة والسلام, and these would be the Imams عليه الصلاة والسلام would be present. Each Imam عليه الصلاة والسلام testifying over the people of his عليه الصلاة والسلام era, having stood among them by the Command of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic, and called them to the Way of Allah عز وجل’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So a man from Qureish said to him عليه الصلاة والسلام, ‘O son عليه الصلاة والسلام of the Rasool صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Allah عز وجل, if there is a Believing man who has a claim against an infidel man, which thing would be taken from the infidel, and he is from the inhabitants of the Fire?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام Bin Al-Husayn عليه الصلاة والسلام said to him: ‘The sins of the Muslim would be taken from him in accordance with what is due to him from the infidel, so the infidel would be Punished by it along with his Punishment for his infidelity in accordance with what was for the Muslim before that right’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘So the Qureishi said to him عليه الصلاة والسلام, ‘So if there was a right for a Muslim against a Muslim, how would it be taken from a Muslim?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The good deeds would be taken for the oppressed against the oppressor in accordance with the right of the oppressed and it would increase the good deeds of the oppressed one’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The Qureishi said to him عليه الصلاة والسلام: ‘If the oppressor does not have any good deeds to his credit?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘If the oppressor does not have any good deeds to his credit, the sins of the oppressed would be taken from him so it would increase the sins of the oppressor’.
