Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You will be resurrected (and assembled) bare-footed, naked and
uncircumcised." The Prophet (ﷺ) then recited the Divine Verse:-- "As We began the first creation, We
shall repeat it: A promise We have undertaken. Truly we shall do it." (21.104)
He added, "The first to be dressed will be Abraham. Then some of my companions will take to the
right and to the left. I will say: 'My companions! 'It will be said, 'They had been renegades since you
left them.' I will then say what the Pious Slave Jesus, the son of Mary said: 'And I was a witness over
them while I dwelt amongst them; when You did take me up, You were the Watcher over them, and
You are a Witness to all things. If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if you forgive them,
You, only You are the All-Mighty the All-Wise.' " (5.117-118) Narrated Quaggas, "Those were the
apostates who renegade from Islam during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr who fought them".

[It will be said to them], "And you have certainly come to Us alone as We created you the first time, and you have left whatever We bestowed upon you behind you. And We do not see with you your 'intercessors' which you claimed that they were among you associates [of Allah]. It has [all] been severed between you, and lost from you is what you used to claim."
And if you are astonished, [O Muhammad] - then astonishing is their saying, "When we are dust, will we indeed be [brought] into a new creation?" Those are the ones who have disbelieved in their Lord, and those will have shackles upon their necks, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
Those who disbelieve have claimed that they will never be resurrected. Say, "Yes, by my Lord, you will surely be resurrected; then you will surely be informed of what you did. And that, for Allah, is easy."
And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."
Say to those who remained behind of the bedouins, "You will be called to [face] a people of great military might; you may fight them, or they will submit. So if you obey, Allah will give you a good reward; but if you turn away as you turned away before, He will punish you with a painful punishment."
