Sahih al-Bukhari #6284

To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يُحْشَرُ الْكَافِرُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَلَيْسَ الَّذِي أَمْشَاهُ عَلَى الرِّجْلَيْنِ فِي الدُّنْيَا قَادِرًا عَلَى أَنَّ يُمْشِيَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ بَلَى وَعِزَّةِ رَبِّنَا‏.‏
A man said, "O Allah's Prophet! Will a Kafir (disbeliever) be gathered (driven prone) on his face?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Is not He Who made him walk with his legs in this world, able to make him walk on his face on the Day of Resurrection?" (Qatada, a sub-narrator said: Yes, (He can), by the Power of Our Lord!")
Narrated by Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Context

In this hadith, a man inquires about the fate of disbelievers on the Day of Resurrection, specifically whether they will be gathered on their faces. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) responds by affirming that the same God who enabled them to walk on their feet in this world has the power to make them walk on their faces in the hereafter. This highlights God's omnipotence and serves as a reminder of the consequences of one's actions in this life.

Modern Application

This hadith encourages us to reflect on our actions and beliefs, reminding us that accountability awaits everyone in the afterlife. In today's context, it serves as a prompt for self-assessment and encourages individuals to strive for righteousness and faithfulness in their daily lives.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment and Afterlife because it discusses the fate of disbelievers and emphasizes God's ability to resurrect and judge all individuals.
