Some people during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes," and went on with a long hadith, in which he said, "Then the bridge will be set across Hellfire and intercession will be permitted, and people will say, 'O Allah, grant safety, grant safety.'"Someone asked, "Messenger of Allah, what is the bridge?"He answered, "It is a slippery, treacherous place, on which there are hooks, clamps, and thorny spikes resembling a thorny plant found in Najd called Saadan. The believers will pass over it like the blink of an eye, like lightning, like the wind, like birds, and like the finest of horses and riding-camels. Some will emerge safe and sound, some will be lacerated but released, and some will be cast headlong into the fire of Hell.When the believers have been delivered from the Fire, by the One in whose hand is my soul, none of you pleads with Allah more earnestly in claiming what is rightfully his than the believers will plead with Allah on the Day of Resurrection for their brothers who are in the Fire…" and the hadith continues.
أن ناسا في زمن رسول الله ﷺ قالوا: يا رسول الله! هل نرى ربنا يوم القيامة؟ قال رسول الله ﷺ: نعم في حديث طويل، وجاء فيه: ثم يضرب الجسر على جهنم وتحل الشفاعة. ويقولون: اللهم سلم سلم. قيل: يا رسول الله، وما الجسر؟ قال: دحض مزلة، فيه خطاطيف وكلاليب وحسك، تكون بنجد فيها شويكة يقال: لها لسعدان، فيمر المؤمنون كطرف العين وكالبرق وكالريح وكالطير وكأجاويد الخيل والركاب، فناج مسلم ومخدوش مرسل ومكدوس في نار جهنم. حتى إذا خلص المؤمنون من النار، فوالذي نفسي بيده ما منكم من أحد بأشد مناشدة لله في استقصاء الحق من المؤمنين الله يوم القيامة لإخوانهم الذين في النار… الحديث.
