While I was on my way, all of a sudden I saw a shepherd driving his sheep, I asked him whose
servant he was. He replied that he was the servant of a man from Quraish, and then he mentioned
his name and I recognized him. I asked, “Do your sheep have some milk?” He replied in the affirmat –
ive. I said, “Are you going to milk for me?” He replied in the affirmative. I ordered him and he tied the
legs of one of the sheep. Then I told him to clean the udder (teats) of dust and to remove dust off his
hands. He removed the dust off his hands by clapping his hands. He then milked a little milk. I put
the milk for Allah’s Apostle in a pot and closed its mouth with a piece of cloth and poured water over
it till it became cold. I took it to the Prophet and said, “Drink, O Allah’s Apostle!” He drank it till I was
pleased.

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle 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.”
