Benefits of the Hadith on the Reckoning.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This hadith, in its various chains of narration, indicates the establishment of the Reckoning, and that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) will reckon the creation. However, the Reckoning is of two types: a Reckoning of inquiry and a Reckoning of presentation. The Reckoning of presentation is when it is said, "Did you not do such-and-such on such-and-such a day? Did you not do such-and-such on such-and-such a day?" until he acknowledges his sins. Then Allah says to him, "I concealed them from you in this world, and I forgive them for you today." This is a Reckoning of presentation where only his deeds are presented to him, but Allah the Exalted pardons him. This is the easy Reckoning. As for the second, the second type, it is the Reckoning of inquiry, where the person is questioned. There is no doubt that if a person is questioned, he will certainly be punished. For if you were to compare one of the blessings of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) upon you with all your righteous deeds, this blessing would outweigh them, and you would remain indebted, and you would remain indebted. For inquiry means that a person is reckoned for or against. If Allah (Mighty and Majestic) were to inquire into the Reckoning, we would perish, because one of His blessings outweighs all our deeds. Indeed, our righteous deeds themselves are among the blessings that require gratitude. For if you look at the disbelievers, then at the open sinners, then at the transgressors, and you see that Allah has blessed you with what they do not have, this is a blessing that requires gratitude. For this reason, some of them said:
"If my gratitude is a blessing of Allah, a blessing upon me, for Him, in its like, gratitude is obligatory
How can the attainment of gratitude be except by His grace, even if the days lengthen and life continues"
"If my gratitude is a blessing of Allah, a blessing upon me, for Him, in its like, gratitude is obligatory
How can the attainment of gratitude be except by His grace, even if the days lengthen and life continues"
And guidance that we seek from him, we sought it, we sought these two verses.
The reader: No, I cannot memorize them.
The Shaykh : Never mind, who memorized them? Repeat the third one.
"If my gratitude is a blessing of Allah, a blessing upon me, for Him, in its like, gratitude is obligatory
How can the attainment of gratitude be except by His grace, even if the days lengthen and life continues"
The reader: If my gratitude is a blessing of Allah, a blessing upon me, in its like
The Shaykh : For Him
The reader: For Him, in its like, gratitude is obligatory. How can the attainment of gratitude be except by His grace, even if the days lengthen and life continues
The Shaykh : Yes, and I think you heard it before. Well, in any case, the point of these two verses is his saying:
"If my gratitude is a blessing of Allah, a blessing upon me, for Him, in its like, gratitude is obligatory"
This is the point. So the saying of the Messenger, "Whoever is questioned in the Reckoning will be punished," this is its meaning. And in this hadith is evidence that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would question the Companions about what was difficult for them from the Book of Allah, because Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) questioned the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with the Book of Allah,[Al-Inshiqaq 84:7-8].
