"There is no man among you
except that his Lord shall converse
with him on the Day of Judgement,
there being no interpreter between
him and Him (Allah). Then he
looks to the south (his right) and
does not see anything except the
things he put forward (of good),
then he looks to the north (his left)
and he does not see anything
except the things he put forward
(of evil), then he turns to look
before him to find he is facing the
Fire."
The Messenger of Allah SAW, said:
"Whoever among you is able to
protect his face from
the Fire – even with a piece of a
date - then let him do so." (Sahih)
[Abu 'Eisa said: This Hadith is
Hasan Sahih].
Abu As-Sã'ib narrated to us: "One
day, Waki' narrated this Hadith to
us from Al-'Amash. When Waki'
was finished with this Hadith, he
said: 'Whoever is present from the
inhabitants of Khurãsãn, then let
him seek the reward of spreading
this Hadith in Khurãsãn."
Abu 'Eisa said: The Jahmiyyah
rejected this. [Abu As-Sã'ib's name
is Salam bin Junadah bin Khãlid bin
Jäbir bin Samurah Al-Kufi]. This
Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Topics
This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment and Afterlife because it discusses the personal accountability each individual will face on the Day of Judgment as conveyed by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
The Day every soul will find what it has done of good present [before it] and what it has done of evil, it will wish that between itself and that [evil] was a great distance. And Allah warns you of Himself, and Allah is Kind to [His] servants."
Then is he who will shield with his face the worst of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection [like one secure from it]? And it will be said to the wrongdoers, "Taste what you used to earn."
And whoever turns his back to them on such a day, unless swerving [as a strategy] for war or joining [another] company, has certainly returned with anger [upon him] from Allah, and his refuge is Hell - and wretched is the destination.
Respond to your Lord before a Day comes from Allah of which there is no repelling. No refuge will you have that day, nor for you will there be any denial.
