15. Chapter of Ṣād (Male)
١٥۔ بَابُ الصَّادِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver a sermon on the Day of Sacrifice while riding his mount.
«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ»
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Verily, the last person to enter Paradise will be a man who will walk on the Sirat (bridge) back and forth, with his back like a young boy being beaten by his father. He will struggle to move forward, saying, 'O Lord, let me reach Paradise and save me from the Fire.' So Allah the Exalted will say to him, 'Did I not save you from the Fire and admit you into Paradise? Will you now admit your sins and wrongdoings to Me?' The servant will answer, 'Yes, O Lord, by Your honor and majesty! If You save me from the Fire, I will indeed confess my sins and wrongdoings to You.' Then the bridge will be crossed, and the servant will say to himself, 'If I confess my sins and wrongdoings to Him, He will return me to the Fire.' Then Allah will say to him, 'Admit your sins and wrongdoings to Me; I will forgive them for you and admit you into Paradise.' The servant will stubbornly say, 'By Your honor, I have never committed a sin or made a mistake.' Then Allah will say to him, 'I have evidence against you.' The servant will look to the right and left, but he will see no one. He will say, 'O Lord, show me Your evidence.' Allah will then cause the skin on his limbs to speak and bear witness to the sins he committed. When the servant witnesses this, he will say, 'O Lord, I have with me Your great hidden powers.' At this, Allah will say to him, 'I know better than you about them. Admit your sins to Me; I will forgive them for you and admit you into Paradise.' Then the servant will admit to his sins, and he will enter Paradise. Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars became visible and said, 'This person is the nearest of the people of Paradise. So how about those who are above him?'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ آخِرَ رَجُلٍ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ رَجُلٌ يَتَقَلَّبُ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ ظَهْرًا لِبَطْنٍ كَالْغُلَامِ يَضْرِبُهُ أَبُوهُ وَهُوَ يَفِرُّ مِنْهُ يَعْجِزُ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ أَنْ يَسْعَى فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ بَلِّغْ بِيَ الْجَنَّةَ وَنَجِّنِي مِنَ النَّارِ فَيُوحِي اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ عَبْدِي إِنْ أَنَا نَجَّيْتُكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَأَدْخَلْتُكَ الْجَنَّةَ أَتَعْتَرِفُ لِي بِذُنُوبِكَ وَخَطَايَاكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ نَعَمْ يَا رَبِّ وَعِزَّتِكَ وَجَلَالِكَ لَئِنْ تُنْجِينِي مِنَ النَّارِ لَأَعْتَرِفَنَّ لَكَ بِذُنُوبِي وَخَطَايَايَ فَيَجُوزُ الْجِسْرَ وَيَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ لَئِنِ اعْتَرَفَتُ لَهُ بِذُنُوبِي وَخَطَايَايَ لَيَرُدَّنِي إِلَى النَّارِ فَيُوحِي اللهُ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدِي اعْتَرِفْ لِي بِذُنُوبِكَ وَخَطَايَاكَ أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ وَأُدْخِلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ مَا أَذْنَبْتُ ذَنْبًا قَطُّ وَلَا أَخْطَأْتُ خَطِيئَةً قَطُّ فَيُوحِي اللهُ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدِي إِنَّ لِي عَلَيْكَ بَيِّنَةً فَيَلْتَفِتُ الْعَبْدُ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا فَلَا يَرَى أَحَدًا فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَرِنِي بَيِّنَتَكَ فَيَسْتَنْطِقُ اللهُ جِلْدَهُ بِالْمُحَقَّرَاتِ فَإِذَا رَأَى ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدُ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ عِنْدِي وَعِزَّتِكَ الْعَظَائِمُ الْمُضْمَرَاتُ فَيُوحِي اللهُ ﷻ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدِي أَنَا أَعْرَفُ بِهَا مِنْكَ اعْتَرِفْ لِي بِهَا أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ وَأُدْخِلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَعْتَرِفُ الْعَبْدُ بِذُنُوبِهِ فَيَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةُ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ يَقُولُ هَذَا أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً فَكَيْفَ بِالَّذِي فَوْقَهُ؟
