Narrated Abu Huraira:The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear (not cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said, "You will see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the people to follow what they used to worship. So some of them will follow the sun, some will follow the moon, and some will follow other deities; and only this nation (Muslims) will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them and say, 'I am Your Lord.' They will say, 'We shall stay in this place till our Lord comes to us and when our Lord will come, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will call them, and As-Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across Hell and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah! Save us. O Allah Save us.' There will be hooks like the thorns of Sa'dan [??] in Hell. Have you seen the thorns of Sa'dan [??]?" The people said, "Yes." He said, "These hooks will be like the thorns of Sa'dan [??] but nobody except Allah knows their greatness in size and these will entangle the people according to their deeds; some of them will fall and stay in Hell forever; others will receive punishment (torn into small pieces) and will get out of Hell, till when Allah intends mercy on whomever He likes amongst the people of Hell, He will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Him alone. The angels will take them out by recognizing them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds growing on the bank of flowing water. Then when Allah had finished from the Judgments amongst his creations, one man will be left between Hell and Paradise and he will be the last man from the people of Hell to enter paradise. He will be facing Hell, and will say, 'O Allah! Turn my face from the fire as its wind has dried me and its steam has burnt me.' Allah will ask him, "Will you ask for anything more in case this favor is granted to you?' He will say, "No by Your (Honor) Power!" And he will give to his Lord (Allah) what he will of the pledges and the covenants. Allah will then turn his face from the Fire. When he will face Paradise and will see its charm, he will remain quiet as long as Allah will. He then will say, 'O my Lord! Let me go to the gate of Paradise.' Allah will ask him, 'Didn't you give pledges and make covenants (to the effect) that you would not ask for anything more than what you requested at first?' He will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most wretched, amongst Your creatures.' Allah will say, 'If this request is granted, will you then ask for anything else?' He will say, 'No! By Your Power! I shall not ask for anything else.' Then he will give to his Lord what He will of the pledges and the covenants. Allah will then let him go to the gate of Paradise. On reaching then and seeing its life, charm, and pleasure, he will remain quiet as long as Allah wills and then will say, 'O my Lord ! Let me enter Paradise.' Allah will say, May Allah be merciful unto you, O son of Adam! How treacherous you are! Haven't you made covenants and given pledges that you will not ask for anything more that what you have been given?' He will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most wretched amongst Your creatures.' So Allah will laugh and allow him to enter Paradise and will ask him to request as much as he likes. He will do so till all his desires have been fulfilled . Then Allah will say, 'Request more of such and such things.' Allah will remind him and when all his desires and wishes; have been fulfilled, Allah will say "All this is granted to you and a similar amount besides." Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri, said to Abu Huraira, 'Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, 'That is for you and ten times more like it.' "Abu Huraira said, "I do not remember from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) except (his saying), 'All this is granted to you and a similar amount besides." Abu Sa`id said, "I heard him saying, 'That is for you and ten times more the like of it."

Sahih
It is related that Abu Hurayra said that the people said, "Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Rising?" He said, "Do you have any doubt about seeing the moon on a night when it is full and there are no clouds obscuring it?" They said, "No, Messenger of Allah." He said, "Do you have any doubt about seeing the sun when there are no clouds obscuring it?" They said, "No." He said, "That is how you will see Him. On the Day of Rising people will be gathered together. Allah will say, 'Whoever used worship something should follow it.' Some of them will follow the sun, some will follow the moon and some will follow idols. This community will be left, together with its hypocrites. Then Allah will come to them and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "This where we stay until our Lord comes to us. When our Lord comes to us, we will recognise him." Then Allah will come to them again and say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "You are our Lord." He will summon them and the Sirat will be set up over Jahannam, and I will be the first of the Messengers to cross it with my community. No one will speak that day except for the Messengers and their words that day will be, "O Allah, preserve us ! Preserve us!" "'In Jahannam there will be hooks like the thorns of the prickly-plant Have you seen the thorns of the prickly-plant?' They said, 'Yes.' He said, 'They are like the thorns of the prickly-plant except that only Allah knows how huge they are. They will hook onto people according to their actions. Some of them will be destroyed by their actions and some will be lacerated and then saved. When Allah wishes to show mercy to those He chooses among the people of the Fire, He will command the angels to take out all those who worshipped Allah. They will bring them out, recognising them by the mark of sajda. Allah has forbidden the Fire to consume the mark of sajda. Thus they will come out of the Fire. The Fire consumes every part of the son of Adam except for the mark of sajda. They will emerge from the Fire burned and blackened and the water of life will be poured over them and they will grow as the seed on the bank of a stream grows. "Then Allah will finish judging between His slaves and only one man will be left between the Garden and the Fire. He will be the last of the people of the Fire to enter the Garden. His face will be turned towards the Fire and he will say, "O Lord! Turn my face away from the Fire! Its wind has poisoned me and its blaze has burned me." Allah will say, "If that is done for you, will you not for something else?" He will say, "No, by Your might!" and he will give Allah whatever pledge and promise he wishes and Allah will turn his face away from the Fire. "'When Allah turns him to face the Garden and he sees its radiance, he will be silent as long as Allah wills that he be silent. Then he will say, "O Lord, take me to the door the Garden!" Allah will say, "Did you not give me pledges and promises that you would not ask for anything other than what you asked for?" He will say, "O Lord, do not make me the most wretched of Your creation!" He will say, "If that is granted to you, will you not ask for something else?" He said, "No, by Your might, I will not ask for anything except that!" So will give his Lord whatever pledge and promise he wishes. He will bring him right up to the door of the Garden. "'When he reaches its door and sees its flowers and the splendours and pleasures it contains, he will be silent for as long as Allah wishes him to be silent. Then he will say, "O Lord, let me enter the Garden!" Allah will say, "Woe to you, son of Adam! How treacherous you are! Did you not give pledges and promises that you would not ask for other than what you asked for?" He will say,"O Lord, do not make me the most wretched of Your creation!" Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, will laugh at him and then give him permission to enter the Garden and will say, "Wish" and he will make wishes until, when he stops wishing, Allah the Mighty and Exalted will say, "Ask for more of such and such and such and such." His Lord will go on reminding him and when his wishes are exhausted, Allah the Almighty will say, "You can have that and the same again." ' " Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said to Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said that Allah said, 'You can have that and ten times like it.' " Abu Hurayra said, "I only recall from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, that he said, 'You can have that and the same again.' " Abu Sa'id said, "I heard him say, 'You can have that and ten times like it.' "
