Sahih al-Bukhari #7101

Oneness, Uniqueness of Allah (Tawheed)
Sahih

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

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَقْبِضُ اللَّهُ الأَرْضَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَيَطْوِي السَّمَاءَ بِيَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ أَيْنَ مُلُوكُ الأَرْضِ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ شُعَيْبٌ وَالزُّبَيْدِيُّ وَابْنُ مُسَافِرٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ‏.‏
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection Allah will hold the whole earth and fold the heaven with His right hand and say, 'I am the King: where are the kings of the earth?" '
Narrated by Narrated Abu Huraira:

Context

In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) describes a powerful scene on the Day of Resurrection where Allah will display His sovereignty by holding the earth and folding the heavens. This moment emphasizes the ultimate authority of Allah and serves as a reminder of the transient nature of worldly power. The takeaway is the stark contrast between earthly kings and the King of Kings, Allah.

Modern Application

This hadith encourages individuals to reflect on the impermanence of worldly status and power. In daily life, it serves as a reminder to prioritize humility and submission to Allah, rather than seeking dominance or recognition among peers.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Day of Judgment and Divine Majesty because it illustrates the majesty of Allah on the Day of Resurrection and the ultimate accountability of all beings.
