Continuation of the explanation of the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr (may Allah be pleased with both of them): (

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : They are saying this in response to the angels' saying to them:

What did you do?

ماذا عملتم ؟

or to Allah, Blessed and Exalted, saying to them:

What did you do? They will say: "Our Lord, You tested us and we were patient, and You granted authority and wealth to others instead of us." Allah, Glorified and Exalted, will say: "You have spoken the truth." He said: They will enter Paradise before the people, and the severity of the reckoning will remain for the people of wealth and authority.

ماذا عملتم ؟ فيقولون: ربنا ابتليتنا فصبرنا، ووليتَ السلطان والأموال غيرنا، فيقول الله جل وعلا: صدقتم ، قال: فيدخلون الجنة قبل الناس، وتبقى شدة الحساب على ذوي الأموال والسلطان

. They asked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):

So they said: Where will the believers be at that time?

فقالوا : فأين المؤمنين يومئذ ؟

meaning: On the day when the people of authority and wealth remain in the severe reckoning, he said:

Thrones of light will be placed for them, and clouds will shade them.

توضع لهم كراسي من نور، وتظلل عليهم الغمائم

Sahih Ibn Hibban 64:330

due to the intense heat of that day, the Day of Resurrection, as is known in the authentic hadiths.

That day will be shorter for the Muslims than an hour of the day.

يكون ذلك اليوم أقصر على المسلمين من ساعة من نهار

This means that the standing in the gathering place on the Day of Resurrection is relative; so whoever is among the sincere believers will not think that his standing in the gathering place was anything but an hour of the day or less than that.
