ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ رُؤْيَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَبَّهُمْ فِي الْمَعَادِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ دُونَ أَبْصَارِهِمْ
[Machine] "People, O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun on a clear summer day, when the sky is clear without any clouds?" They said, "No." He said, "In the same way, you will not have any difficulty in seeing your Lord on the Day of Resurrection, just as you have no difficulty in seeing one of them who meets his Lord on the Day of Resurrection. Then Allah, the Most Exalted and Glorious, will say, 'O servant! Did I not create you? Did I not make you able to hear and see? Did I not give you wealth and marry you? Did I not honor you? Did I not give you dominion over horses and camels? Did I not make you the leader and ruler?' The servant will respond, 'Yes, my Lord.' Then Allah will say, 'Then did you not think that you would meet Me?' The servant will say, 'Yes, my Lord. But I thought that you would not recognize me.' Allah will say, 'Today I will forget you just as you forgot Me.' Then the next person will come and Allah will say the same to him. The hypocrite will seek to excuse himself, but he will be seized and sealed. It will be said to his thigh, 'Speak!' and it will speak about his deeds and his bones and nerves will bear witness to what he used to do. Then a caller will call out, 'Will every nation follow what they used to worship?' And the worshipers of the cross will follow the cross, the worshipers of the fire will follow the fire, and the worshipers of idols will follow the idols, and every tyrant will follow their tyranny, until they are all led to Hell. Then the believers, while we are the believers, will come to our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, and we will be standing. He will say, 'What are these people standing for?' We will say, 'We are the believing servants of Allah. We believed in Him and did not associate anything with Him. This is our place and we will not move from here until our Lord comes to us as our Lord and keeps us firm.' He will say, 'Do you know Him?' We will say, 'Glory be to Him! When He acknowledges us, we will acknowledge Him.' Sufyan (one of the narrators) said, 'Here is a word that I do not say to you.' He (Abu Bakr, who was beside the Prophet ﷺ ) said, 'That (person) is a slave whom no one protects. He knocks at a door, but it is not opened for him, and he enters from the other door.' The Prophet ﷺ wiped his shoulders and said, 'I hope that you will be among them (i.e., the believers).' "
