We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when his companions became spread out along the road. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his voice with these two verses, "People, fear your Lord. The earthquake of the Hour is a tremendous thing," up to His words, "Allah's punishment is severe" [Hajj 22:1–2].When his companions heard this, they urged their mounts forward, knowing he was about to say something. He said, "Do you know what day that is?"They replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best."He said, "That is the day when Allah will call out to Adam. His Lord will call him and say, 'Adam, send forth the delegation of the Fire.'He will say, 'My Lord, what is the delegation of the Fire?'He will say, 'Out of every thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine to the Fire and one to the Garden.'"The people despaired to the point that not a smile appeared on their faces. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw the state of his companions, he said, "Work and rejoice. By the One in whose hand is Muhammad's soul, you are alongside two creations, neither of which has ever been with anything without making it numerous, Yajuj and Majuj, and those who have died from the children of Adam and the children of Iblis."Some of the distress they were feeling was relieved, and he then said, "Work and rejoice. By the One in whose hand is Muhammad's soul, you are among mankind only like a mark on the side of a camel or like a spot on the foreleg of a riding beast."
حدثنا محمد بن بشار حدثنا يحيى بن سعيد حدثنا هشام بن أبي عبد الله عن قتادة عن الحسن
كنا مع النبي ﷺ في سفر فتفاوت بين أصحابه في السير فرفع رسول الله ﷺ صوته بهاتين الآيتين {يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم إن زلزلة الساعة شيء عظيم} إلى قوله {عذاب الله شديد} فلما سمع ذلك أصحابه حثوا المطي وعرفوا أنه عند قول يقوله فقال هل تدرون أي يوم ذلك قالوا الله ورسوله أعلم قال ذاك يوم ينادي الله فيه آدم فيناديه ربه فيقول يا آدم ابعث بعث النار فيقول يا رب وما بعث النار فيقول من كل ألف تسع مائة وتسعة وتسعون في النار وواحد في الجنة فيئس القوم حتى ما أبدوا بضاحكة فلما رأى رسول الله ﷺ الذي بأصحابه قال اعملوا وأبشروا فوالذي نفس محمد بيده إنكم لمع خليقتين ما كانتا مع شيء إلا كثرتاه يأجوج ومأجوج ومن مات من بني آدم وبني إبليس قال فسري عن القوم بعض الذي يجدون فقال اعملوا وأبشروا فوالذي نفس محمد بيده ما أنتم في الناس إلا كالشامة في جنب البعير أو كالرقمة في ذراع الدابة
