Do the disbelievers see the Lord of the Worlds on the Day of Resurrection?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Q: It is mentioned in the hadith:

It is brought on the Day of Resurrection three people, and one of them is asked: "You said, 'I struggled in Your cause until I was martyded.'"

إنه يؤتى بثلاثة يوم القيامة، فيسأل أحدهم أنك قلت جاهدت في سبيلك حتى استشهدت

, so do the disbelievers see the Lord of the Worlds on that day?
A: Yes, this is a valid hadith. The Lord speaks to all His servants. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

There will be none among you but his Lord will talk to him, and there will be no interpreter between him and Allah. He will look to his right and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look to his left and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and will look in front of him and see nothing but the (Hell) Fire facing him. So save yourself from the (Hell) Fire even with half a date (given in charity).

ما منكم أحد إلا سيكلمه ربه ليس بينه وبينه ترجمان، فينظر أيمن منه فلا يرى إلا ما قدم من عمله، وينظر أشأم منه فلا يرى إلا ما قدم، وينظر بين يديه فلا يرى إلا النار تلقاء وجهه، فاتقوا النار ولو بشق تمرة، فمن لم يجد فبكلمة طيبة

Sahih al-Bukhari 7512

It is agreed upon as authentic. Speaking does not necessarily imply seeing; seeing is one thing and speaking is another. He speaks to all of creation, but only the believers see Him.
As for the text of the hadith, it is:

Three people are brought on the Day of Resurrection: a mujahid, a reciter, and a charitable person. It is said to the reciter, who is a scholar: "For what did you learn knowledge and recite the Qur'an?" He says: "I recited the Qur'an for Your sake, and I learned knowledge for Your sake." Allah says to him: "You lied," and the angels say: "You lied. But you learned so that it would be said, 'He is a scholar,' and you recited so that it would be said, 'He is a reciter,' and that has been said." So he is ordered to be dragged on his face into the Fire. The mujahid is brought and it is said to him: "For what did you struggle?" He says: "I struggled in Your cause. I was commanded to struggle, so I struggled in Your cause." He says: "You lied," and the angels say to him: "You lied. But you struggled so that it would be said, 'He is brave'—meaning courageous—and that has been said." So he is ordered to be dragged on his face into the Fire. The charitable person, who gave charity with wealth, is brought and it is said to him: "For what did you give charity?" He says: "I was commanded to give charity in Your cause, so I did not leave a cause in which You love spending except that I spent in it." Allah says to him: "You lied," and the angels say: "You lied. But you gave charity so that it would be said, 'He is generous,' and that has been said." So he is dragged on his face into the Fire.

ثلاثة يؤتى بهم يوم القيامة: مجاهد، وقارئ، ومتصدق، فيقال للقارئ العالم: في ماذا تعلمت العلم وقرأت القرآن؟ قال: قرأت من أجلك القرآن، وتعلمت من أجلك العلم، فيقول الله له: كذبت، وتقول الملائكة: كذبت، ولكنك تعلمت ليقال عالم، وقرأت ليقال قارئ، وقد قيل ذلك، فيؤمر به فيسحب على وجهه إلى النار، ويؤتى بالمجاهد فيقال له، فيم جاهدت؟ قال: جاهدت في سبيلك، أمرت بالجهاد فجاهدت في سبيلك، قال: كذبت، وتقول له الملائكة: كذبت، ولكنك جاهدت ليقال هو جريء - يعني شجاع - وقد قيل ذلك، فيؤمر فيسحب على وجهه إلى النار، ويؤتى بالمتصدق الذي تصدق بالمال فيقال له، فيم تصدقت؟ قال: أمرت بالصدقة في سبيلك، فما تركت من سبيل تحب أن ينفق فيه إلا أنفقت فيه، فيقول الله له: كذبت، وتقول الملائكة: كذبت، ولكنك تصدقت ليقال هو جواد، وقد قيل ذلك، فيسحب على وجهه إلى النار

In this hadith and similar ones, there is a warning against showing off in worship and working for other than Allah.
And Allah the Exalted said:

Woe to the praying

فَوَيْلٌ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ ۝

those who are heedless of their prayer those who are showing off and who withhold what is useful [Al-Ma'un: 4-7]. "Wail" means a reference to the severity of the punishment. We seek refuge in Allah from that, and there is no power or strength except with Allah. From this is the saying of Allah the Exalted:

Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allah, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allah except a little,

إِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يُخَادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُوا إِلَى الصَّلاةِ قَامُوا كُسَالَى يُرَاءُونَ النَّاسَ وَلا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلا قَلِيلًا

[An-Nisa: 142].
