bukhari:6535al-Ṣalt b. Muḥammad > Yazīd

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The believers, after being saved from the (Hell) Fire, will be stopped at a bridge between Paradise and Hell and mutual retaliation will be established among them regarding wrongs they have committed in the world against one another. After they are cleansed and purified (through the retaliation), they will be admitted into Paradise; and by Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, everyone of them will know his dwelling in Paradise better than he knew his dwelling in this world."

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the believers pass safely over (the bridge across) Hell, they will be stopped at a bridge in between Hell and Paradise where they will retaliate upon each other for the injustices done among them in the world, and when they get purified of all their sins, they will be admitted into Paradise. By Him in Whose Hands the life of Muhammad is everybody will recognize his dwelling in Paradise better than he recognizes his dwelling in this world."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The believers will be saved from the Fire and will be placed on a bridge between Paradise and Hellfire. They will seek justice from one another for any wrongdoings that occurred among them in the worldly life. When they are purified and cleansed, permission will be granted to enter Paradise. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, one of them will intercede for another to be placed in a higher position in Paradise than his own position in the worldly life." Qatada said, "Some of them will only be equivalent to the people who attended their congregational prayer."
