I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "People will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection," or he said, "the servants will be gathered, naked, uncircumcised, and buhman."We asked, "What does buhman mean?"He replied, "They will have nothing with them. Then He will call them with a voice heard equally by those far and near, 'I am the King, I am the Judge. No one from the people of the Fire shall enter the Fire while having a claim against any of the people of Paradise, until I settle it for him. And no one from the people of Paradise shall enter Paradise while any of the people of the Fire has a claim against him, until I settle it for him, even for a slap.'"We asked, "How can this be, when we will come before Allah naked, uncircumcised, and with nothing at all?"He answered, "By means of good deeds and bad deeds."
سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: يحشر الناس يوم القيامة- أو قال: العباد- عراة غرلا بهما. قال: قلنا: ما بهما؟ قال: ليس معهم شيء، ثم يناديهم بصوت يسمعه من بعد كما يسمعه من قرب، أنا الملك، أنا الديان، ولا ينبغي لأحد من أهل النار أن يدخل النار، وله عند أحد من أهل الجنة حق حتى أقصه منه، ولا ينبغي لأحد من أهل الجنة أن يدخل الجنة ولأحد من أهل النار عنده حق حتى أقصه منه حتى اللطمة. قال: قلنا: كيف وإنا إنما نأتي الله عز وجل عراة غرلا بهما؟ قال: بالحسنات والسيئات.
Imam Ahmad narrated it (16042), and this is his wording, as did Harith bin Abu Usama (45) in his Zawaid, Bukhari in Adab al-Mufrad (970) and in Khalq Afal Abbad (p. 92), Ibn Abu Asim in Sunnah (514), and Hakim (2/437), who graded it sahih, all of them through chains from Hammam bin Yahya, from Qasim bin Abdul-Wahid Makki, from Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqeel, that he heard Jabir bin Abdullah say, "A hadith reached me from a man who had heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so I bought a camel, saddled it, and traveled for a month until I arrived at him in Syria. There I found Abdullah bin Unays. I said to the doorman, 'Tell him Jabir is at the door.' He said, 'The son of Abdullah?' I said, 'Yes.' So he came out, treading on his garment, and he embraced me and I embraced him. I said, 'A hadith reached me from you, that you heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning retaliation, and I feared that you might die, or I might die, before I heard it.' He said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say...'" and he related the hadith.Its chain of transmission is hasan because of Qasim bin Abdul-Wahid Makki and his teacher Abdullah bin Aqeel, for neither of them reached the rank of "trustworthy narrators." Munziri also graded it hasan in Targheeb wal-Tarheeb (4/202), even though Haythami, may Allah have mercy on him, graded it daif in Majma (1/133) because of Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqeel. But the correct view is that his hadith is hasan unless he contradicts others, in which case it is not accepted, as Dhahabi stated in his biographical entry in Mizan. Hakim's grading of it as sahih was also endorsed in Talkhis al-Mustadrak.Bukhari cited it with a definitive attribution (1/173) and said, "Jabir bin Abdullah traveled a month's journey to Abdullah bin Unays for the sake of a single hadith."Hafiz said in Fath al-Bari (1/174), "It has another chain, narrated by Tabarani in Musnad Shamiyin and by Tammam in his Fawaid, through Hajjaj bin Dinar, from Muhammad bin Munkadir, from Jabir, relating something similar, and he said its chain of transmission is sound. It also has a third chain, narrated by Khatib in Rihla, through Abu Jarud Ansi, with a silent noon, from Jabir, relating something similar, though its chain of transmission contains some weakness."
