Which comes first, the Hawd or the Sirat?

Question:
Does the Hawd come before the Sirat, or does the Sirat come before the Hawd?

Answer:
The Hawd comes before the Sirat. The Hawd is present when the people are gathered on the Day of Resurrection. The believers drink from it and are honored, while the disbelievers turn away from it. Every Prophet has a Hawd, and the Hawd of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the largest and greatest of them. Its length is a month and its width is a month. The number of its cups is equal to the number of the stars in the sky. Whoever drinks from it will not become thirsty again. Yes, and it is before the Sirat. Then, afterwards, the people are ordered to pass over the Sirat. Whoever passes over the Sirat is saved and enters Paradise, and whoever does not pass over it falls into the Fire. We ask Allah for safety.
