In pronouncing salutation), for I see you in front of me and behind me, and then said: By Him in Whose hand Is the life of Muhammad, if you could see what I see, you would have laughed little and wept much more. They said: What did you see, Messenger of Allah? He replied: (I saw) Paradise and Hell.

And he said, 'Verily I see you from behind and from the front.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا قَالُوا وَمَا رَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ وَحَضَّهُمْ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَنَهَاهُمْ أَنْ يَسْبِقُوهُ بِالرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ وَنَهَاهُمْ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفُوا قَبْلَ انْصِرَافِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَقَالَ إِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَمِنْ أَمَامِي
