It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Allah, Blessed be He and Most High, will gather the people together (on the Day of Resurrection), and the believers will stand until Paradise is brought near to them. They will go to Adam - and will say: 'O our father! Ask for Paradise to be opened for us.' He will say: 'Were you expelled from Paradise for anything other than the error of your father Adam? I am not the one to do that. Go to my son Ibrahim, the Close Friend of Allah (Khalilillah).' But Ibrahim will say: 'I am not the one to do that. I was a close friend from beyond, and beyond. Go to Musa to whom Allah spoke directly.' So they will go to Musa - but he will say: 'I am not the one to do that. Go to 'Eisa, the word of Allah and a spirit created by Him.' But "Eisa - will say: 'I am not the one to do that.' Then they will go to Muhammad (s.a.w) and he will stand and permission will be granted to him (to open the Paradise). Trustworthiness and the ties of kinship will be sent and they will stand on either side of As-Sirat (the Bridge), on the right and left. The first of you will cross like lightning.' I said: 'May my father and mother by sacrificed for you, what does like lightning mean?' He said: 'Do you not see how the lightning strikes and returns in the blink of an eye? Then they will cross like the wind, or like birds, or like swiftly-running men. People's progress (of crossing the Bridge) will be in accordance with their deeds, and your Prophet will be standing on the Bridge saying: 'O Lord, grant safety, grant safety.' Then people's deeds will fail them, until a man comes, able to move only by crawling. At the sides of the Siril! will be hooks, which are commanded to seize those whom they are commanded. Some will be scratched and saved, and others will be piled up in the Fire.'" "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Abu Hurairah! The depth of Hell is (a distance of) seventy years."
