Moreover, Muslim furnished a full chain for the report that al-Bukhari had left unattached, transmitting it from Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Isḥāq, from Yaḥyā ibn Bukayr … and so on, until the end of the ḥadīth.⦗1⦘

This narration has also come through another route from Abū Hurayrah. Ibn Abī Ḥātim said:

“My father told us; Abū al-Walīd told us; ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Abī al-Zinād told us, from Ṣāliḥ, the freedman of al-Tuʾāmah, from Abū Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

‘A man who is voracious, fond of drink and of great bulk will be brought forward, yet when he is weighed against a single grain he will not match it.’ He then recited: ‘So We shall assign no weight for them on the Day of Resurrection’ (al-Kahf 18:105).”

Ibn Jarīr likewise related it from Abū Kurayb, from Ibn al-Ṣalt⦗2⦘, from Ibn Abī al-Zinād, [from Ṣāliḥ], from Abū Hurayrah, as a marfūʿ report, in wording identical to that of al-Bukhārī.

Al-Bazzār said: “Al-ʿAbbās ibn Muḥammad narrated to us; ʿAwn ibn ʿUmārah narrated to us; Hishām ibn Ḥassān narrated to us, from Wāṣil, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Buraydah, from his father, who said:

‘We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man from Quraysh approached, swaggering in a fine cloak. When he stood before the Prophet ﷺ, the Prophet said:

“O Buraydah, this is one of those for whom Allah will assign no weight on the Day of Resurrection.”’

Al-Bazzār then remarked: This narration is unique to ʿAwn ibn ʿUmārah; he is not reliable and no one corroborated him.⦗3⦘

Imam Aḥmad said: ‘ʿAbd al-Ṣamad and Ḥasan ibn Mūsā both narrated to us: Ḥammād narrated to us, from ʿĀṣim, from Zirr ibn Ḥubaysh, from Ibn Masʿūd:

He was cutting a miswāk from an arak tree, and his shins were thin. A gust of wind caused him to sway, and the people laughed at him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“What makes you laugh?” They answered, “O Messenger of Allah, at the thinness of his shins.” He said, “By Him in whose hand is my soul, they are heavier on the Scale than Mount Uḥud.”’

Aḥmad alone transmitted this report, and its chain is sound and strong; several narrations have come describing these very qualities.⦗4⦘

In the Musnad of Imam Aḥmad, one of the routes for the ḥadīth of the Card—related through Ibn Luhayʿah—states that the doer himself is weighed along with his deed and his scroll, and Allah, exalted is He, knows best what is correct.⦗5⦘

Imam Aḥmad also said: ‘ʿAffān narrated to us; al-Qāsim ibn al-Faḍl narrated to us, who said: al-Ḥasan said: ʿĀʾishah asked, “O Messenger of Allah, will you remember your families on the Day of Resurrection?” He replied:

“There are three stations at which no one will remember anyone else: at the Book, at the Scale, and at the Bridge (ṣirāṭ).”⦗6⦘

His words “the Book” may refer to the register of deeds that will testify against people concerning their actions; or they may refer to the moment when the scrolls are dispersed among humanity, some receiving theirs in their right hands and others in their left, as He, the Exalted, said
