Is it the person or the deed that is weighed on the Day of Resurrection?

Question : After that, the questioner says: Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. How do we reconcile the fact that it is the deed that is weighed with the hadith of Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, when the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) shins were uncovered and the people laughed, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “By Allah, in the scale it is heavier than a mountain,” or as he said?

Answer : Yes. The answer to this is that it can be said: either this is specific to Abdullah ibn Mas’ud, that the person himself is weighed, meaning the person who did the deed; or it can be said that some people’s deeds are weighed and some people’s bodies are weighed; or it can be said that when a person is weighed, he becomes heavy and prevails according to his deeds.
