sixteenth hadith (16)
According to Ab¬ Sa¡¨d al-Khudr¨, the Messenger of God, may God give him
blessings and peace, said:
On the Day of Resurrection, God, ever mighty and majestic is He,
shall say: “The angels have interceded, the prophets have interceded,
the believers have interceded, and no-one remains except
the Most Merciful of merci¥ers.”
Then, seizing a handful from the Fire, He will extract a group
of mankind who have never done any good and who have been
reduced to ashes. He will cast them into a river at the gates of
Paradise, called the River of Life.
It continues:
Then God, ever glori¥ed and exalted is He, will say: “Enter into
Paradise. Whatever you see is yours.”
They will reply: “Our Lord, You have given us something which
You have not given to any one else in all the universes.”
He will say: “For you I have something yet more precious than
that.”
They will ask: “Our Lord, what thing could be more precious
than that?”
To this He will reply: “My Good-Pleasure (ri‰å¤)! I shall never
again be displeased with you.”
