Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection Death will be brought forward in the shape of a
black and white ram. Then a call maker will call, 'O people of Paradise!' Thereupon they will stretch
their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will say, 'Yes, this is
Death.' By then all of them will have seen it. Then it will be announced again, 'O people of Hell !'
They will stretch their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, 'Do you know this?' They will
say, 'Yes, this is Death.' And by then all of them will have seen it. Then it (that ram) will be
slaughtered and the caller will say, 'O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and no death O people of
Hell! Eternity for you and no death."' Then the Prophet, recited:--
'And warn them of the Day of distress when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a state
of carelessness (i.e. the people of the world) and they do not believe.' (19.39)
‘Death will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and made to
stand
on the Sirat (the Bridge over Hell). It will be said: “O people
of
Paradise!” And they will look. Anxious and afraid lest they be
brought out of the place they are in. Then it will be said: “O
people
of Hell!” and they will look, hoping that they will be
brought out of
the place they are in. Then it will be said: “Do you
know what this
is?” They will say: “Yes, this is Death.” Then
the command will be
given for it to be slaughtered on the Sirat, and
it will be said to
both groups: “It is eternal wherever you are,
and there will never be
any death therein.”
Death would be brought on the Day of Resurrection. in the form of a white-coloured ram. Abu Kuraib made this addition: Then it would be made to stand between the Paradise and the Hell. So far as the rest of the hadith is concerned there is perfect agreement (between the two narrators) and it would be said to the inmates of Paradise: Do you recognise this? They would raise up their necks and look towards it and say: Yes, ' it is death. Then it would be said to the inmates of Hell-Fire.. Do you recognise this? And they would raise up their necks and look and say: Yes, it is death. Then command would be given for slaughtering that and then it would be said: 0 inmates of Paradise,, there is an everlasting life for you and no death. And then (addressing) to the inmates of the Hell-Fire, it would be said: 0 inmates of Hell-Fire, there is an everlasting living for you and no death. Allah's Messenger (may peace be u@on him) then recited this verse pointing with his hand to this (material) world:" Warn them, this Day of dismay, and when their affairs would be decided and they would be un- mindful and they believe not" (xix. 39).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I will be the first to raise my head after the second blowing of the trumpet and will
see Moses hanging the Throne, and I will not know whether he had been in that state all the time or
after the blowing of the trumpet."
Between the two blowings of the trumpet (there would be an interval of forty). They said: Abu Huraira, do you mean forty days? He said: I cannot say anything. They said: Do you mean forty months? He said: I cannot say anything. They said: Do you mean forty years? He said: I cannot say anything. Then Allah would cause the water to, descend from the sky and they (people) will sprout like vegetable. The only thing in a man which would not decay would be one bone (the tailbone) from which the whole frame would be reconstituted on the Day of Resurrection.
