twentieth hadith (100)
The Messenger of God, may God give him blessings and peace, said:
By Him who holds my soul in His Hand, you shall come to no
harm in seeing your Lord.
God will meet with the servant and ask, “O so-and-so, tell Me:
was I not generous towards you, did I not give you authority, did
I not grant you a wife, did I not give you power over horses and
camels, did I not put you in charge and grant you a quarter [of the
spoils of war]?”
The man will reply: “Indeed, my Lord!”
God will ask: “And did you once think that you were going to
meet Me?”
[The man] will reply: “O Lord, I have believed in You and in Your
Book and in Your Messengers, I have prayed, fasted and given alms”,
and he will repeat God’s praises in the best way he is able to.
When he has spoken, God will say: “Come here now.”
Then it will be said to him: “We have just dispatched Our
witness against you.”
The man will wonder to himself: “Who is it that will testify
against me?”
Then a seal will be put over his mouth, and it will be said to his
legs: “Speak!”
Thereupon his legs, his ¦esh and his bones will speak of his
actions, making apology for his soul.
That is the hypocrite. That is he with whom God is displeased.
Reported by Muslim, according to Ab¬ Hurayra, who said: “The Companions asked:
‘O Messenger of God, will we see our Lord?’ Then [the Prophet] mentioned the ¢ad¨th
relating to the Vision and quoted this.”
