Resurrection, Reckoning, Standing Before Allah, the Exalted, and al-Ṣirāṭ — Hadith 12

12. Ibrāhīm ibn Abī al-Bilād narrated from one of our fellow companions, from Abū ʿAbdillāh, from his father (a) who said, “Jibraʾīl (a) came to the Prophet (ṣ), took him by the hand and led him to al-Baqīʿ. They came to a grave, and he called out to its occupant saying, ‘Rise by the permission of Allah! ’ So a man with a bright face came out from it. He wiped away the earth from his face saying, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, and Allah is the greatest! ’ Jibraʾīl then said [to him], ‘Return [as you were] with the permission of Allah. ’ Then he took him to another grave and called out to its occupant saying, ‘Rise by the permission of Allah! ’ So a man with a dark face came out from it saying, ‘Alas, what regret! Alas, what ruin! ’ Then Jibraʾīl told him, ‘Return to your previous state with the permission of Allah! ’ Then he said, ‘O Muḥammad, this is how they will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment; the believers will utter this statement and these others will say what you see. ’”
