and said, “Tell me who is able to stand on the Day of Resurrection, the Day about which Allah, Most High, has said:
“The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds” (6) [al-Mutaffifin].
He replied, “It will be lightened for the believer until it is for him like an obligatory prayer.” (1)
ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ said: “On the Day of Resurrection the believers will have chairs of light; they will sit on them while the clouds give them shade, and that Day will seem to them no more than an hour of daylight, or one of its two halves.” Ibn Abī al-Dunyā recorded it in “al-Ahwāl.”
Imam Aḥmad said: “Abū Kamil narrated to us; Ḥammād narrated to us; from Suhayl ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ, [from his father], from Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
‘No owner of a treasure who fails to pay its due right will escape having his treasure turned into plates that are heated in the Fire of Jahannam; his forehead, his sides, and his back will be branded with them, until Allah—Exalted is He—judges between His servants on a Day whose span is fifty thousand years according to what you count. Then he will be shown his path, either to Paradise or to Hell…’
He then mentioned the rest of the hadith about the one who withholds the zakāh of sheep, cattle, and camels: they will be spread out for him on a flat, stone-strewn plain, trampling him with their hooves and cloven feet and goring him with their horns. Each time the last of them passes over him, the first is brought back again, until judgment is concluded among the servants, on a Day whose span is fifty thousand years according to what you count; then he will be shown his path, either to Paradise or to Hell. (2)
Abū Dāwūd al-Ṭayālisī likewise narrated it in his Musnad: Wahīb ibn Khālid—who was trustworthy—told us; Suhayl ibn Abī Ṣāliḥ narrated to us; from his father; from Abū Hurayrah; from the Prophet ﷺ … and he related something similar. Muslim recorded it from the narrations of Rawḥ ibn al-Qāsim and ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn al-Mukhtār, both from Suhayl, with the same wording; and Muslim also transmitted it from Zayd ibn Aslam, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from Abū Hurayrah as a marfūʿ report concerning gold, silver, camels, cattle, and sheep. (3)
Imam Aḥmad and Abū Dāwūd likewise related it through the narration of Shuʿbah, and al-Nasāʾī through Saʿīd ibn Abī ʿArūbah, both from Qatādah; from Abū ʿUmar al-Ghadanī; from Abū Hurayrah, who said:
“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Whoever owns camels and does not give their due in their hardship and ease’—meaning in difficult times and in times of plenty—‘they will come on the Day of Resurrection in the most vigorous, stout, largest and most savage state (4); they will be laid out for him on a flat, stone-strewn plain, trampling him with their hooves. When the last of them has passed over him, the first will be returned upon him again, on a Day whose span is fifty thousand years, until judgment is concluded among the people and he is shown his path. And if he owns cattle and does not pay their due in their hardship and ease, they will come on the Day of Resurrection in the most vigorous, largest, stoutest and most savage state; then they will be spread out for him on a flat, stone-strewn plain. Every cloven-footed animal will trample him with its hoof, and every horned animal will gore him…’”}
