Al-Bukhārī reports it through the chain of Ibrāhīm ibn Saʿd, from al-Zuhrī, and he added: Abu Saʿīd said, “I testify that I memorised from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ his statement: ‘That is yours, and ten times as much.’ (1)”

This explicit affirmation transmitted by Abu Saʿīd takes precedence over what Abū Hurayrah did not retain; even if Abū Hurayrah were to deny it, we would still give priority to Abu Saʿīd’s affirmation, for it is an accepted addition from a reliable Companion—especially since other Companions, such as Ibn Masʿūd, corroborate it, as will be mentioned shortly, if Allah wills.

Al-Bukhārī also said: “Yahyā ibn Bukayr related to us; al-Layth related to us, from Khālid ibn Yazīd, from Saʿīd ibn Abī Hilāl, from Zayd, from ʿAṭāʾ ibn Yasār, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, who said:

We asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, shall we see our Lord?’ He replied, ‘Do you find any hardship in seeing the sun and the moon on a clear, full-moon night?’ We said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘You will have no more hardship in seeing your Lord than you have in seeing them.’

He continued: ‘Then a herald will proclaim: Let every people follow that which they used to worship. The bearers of the cross will depart with their cross, the idol-worshippers with their idols, and the devotees of every deity with their deities, until only those remain who worshipped Allah—whether righteous or sinful—and a handful (2) from the People of the Book. Hell will then be brought forth and displayed like a mirage.

It will be said to the Jews, “What did you worship?” They will answer, “We used to worship ʿUzayr, the son of Allah.” They will be told, “You have lied; Allah has no consort and no child. What do you seek?” They will say, “We ask You to give us water.” He will say, “Drink,” and they will topple into Hell.

Then it will be said to the Christians, “What did you worship?” They will reply, “We used to worship the Messiah, the son of Allah.” They will be told, “You have lied; Allah has no consort and no child.” They will be asked, “What do you desire?” They will say, “We want You to give us water.” It will be said, “Drink,” and they will fall headlong into it, until none remains except those who worshipped Allah—righteous or sinful.

They will be asked, “What keeps you here when the people have gone?” They will say, “We had a God whom we used to worship; we left the people and are in greater need of Him today. We heard a caller proclaim, ‘Let every people follow that which they used to worship,’ and so we are waiting for our Lord, exalted and majestic.”

The Compeller—exalted and majestic—is He—will then come to them in a form other than the one in which they first saw Him and will say, “I am your Lord.” They will answer, “You are our Lord.” None will speak to Him on that Day except the prophets. He will ask, “Is there a sign between you and Him by which you recognise Him?” They will say, “The shin.” He will then uncover His shin, and every believer will fall in prostration, while those who used to prostrate merely for show and reputation will try to prostrate, but their backs will become a single rigid plate.

Then the bridge will be brought and laid across the middle of Hell.’ We asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what is the bridge?’ He said, ‘A slippery slope, upon it are hooks and prongs, and a flattened thorn with a bent barb (3) that grows in Najd, called al-saʿdān. The believer will pass over it as swiftly as a blink, as lightning, as the wind, as champion horses and riders. Some will be saved unharmed, some will be saved but scratched, and some will be flung (4) into the Fire of Hell, until the last of them crosses, being dragged along. And you are not any more…’

(1) The wording: “That is yours, and ten times as much.”
(2) Literally, “dust-covered ones,” i.e., a small, insignificant remnant.
(3) A curved, barbed thorn known in Najd as al-saʿdān.
(4) i.e., hurled head-first.
