Volume 8, Book 76, Number 537:
Narrated Abu Said:
The Prophet said, “Allah will say, ‘O Adam!. Adam will reply, ‘Labbaik and Sa’daik (I respond to
Your Calls, I am obedient to Your orders), wal Khair fi Yadaik (and all the good is in Your Hands)!’
Then Allah will say (to Adam), Bring out the people of the Fire.’ Adam will say, ‘What (how many) are
the people of the Fire?’ Allah will say, ‘Out of every thousand (take out) nine-hundred and ninety-
nine (persons).’ At that time children will become hoary-headed and every pregnant female will
drop her load (have an abortion) and you will see the people as if they were drunk, yet not drunk;
But Allah’s punishment will be very severe.”
That news distressed the companions of the Prophet too much, and they said, “O Allah’s Apostle!
Who amongst us will be that man (the lucky one out of one-thousand who will be saved from the
Fire)?” He said, “Have the good news that one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog, and the one (to
be saved will be) from you.” The Prophet added, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I Hope that you
(Muslims) will be one third of the people of Paradise.” On that, we glorified and praised Allah and
said, “Allahu Akbar.” The Prophet then said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I hope that you will
be one half of the people of Paradise, as your (Muslims) example in comparison to the other people
(non-Muslims), is like that of a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a round hairless spot on the
foreleg of a donkey.”

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The people will fall down unconscious at the time when they should fall down
(i.e., on the Day of Resurrection), and then I will be the first man to get up, and behold, Moses will be
there holding (Allah’s) Throne. I will not know whether he has been amongst those who have fallen
unconscious.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 526:

right Hand, and then He will say, “I am King! Where are the kings of the earth ? “
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 527:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, “The (planet of) earth will be a bread on the Day of Resurrection, and The resist –
ible (Allah) will topple turn it with His Hand like anyone of you topple turns a bread with his hands
while (preparing the bread) for a journey, and that bread will be the entertainment for the people of
Paradise.” A man from the Jews came (to the Prophet) and said, “May The Beneficent (Allah) bless
you, O Abul Qasim! Shall I tell you of the entertainment of the people of Paradise on the Day of Re –
surrection?” The Prophet said, “Yes.” The Jew said, “The earth will be a bread,” as the Prophet had said.
Thereupon the Prophet looked at us and smiled till his premolar tooth became visible. Then the Jew
further said, “Shall I tell you of the udm (additional food taken with bread) they will have with the

bread?” He added, “That will be Balam and Nun.” The people asked, “What is that?” He said, “It is an
ox and a fish, and seventy thousand people will eat of the caudate lobe (i.e. extra lobe) of their livers.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 528:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa’d:

white land like a pure loaf of bread (made of pure fine flour).” Sahl added: That land will have no
landmarks for anybody (to make use of).
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 529:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The people will be gathered in three ways: (The first way will be of) those who
will wish or have a hope (for Paradise) and will have a fear (of punishment), (The second batch will
be those who will gather) riding two on a camel or three on a camel or ten on a camel. (The third
batch) the rest of the people will be urged to gather by the Fire which will accompany them at the
time of their afternoon nap and stay with them where they will spend the night, and will be with
them in the morning wherever they may be then, and will be with them in the afternoon wherever
they may be then.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 530:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A man said, “O Allah’s Prophet! Will a Kafir (disbeliever) be gathered (driven prone) on his face?”
The Prophet said, “Is not He Who made him walk with his legs in this world, able to make him walk
on his face on the Day of Resurrection?” (Qatada, a sub-narrator said: Yes, (He can), by the Power of
Our Lord!”)
