What is the Reality?He said:Indeed, God, Exalted is He, has magnified the circumstances of the Day of Resurrection and the severity (shidda) of it by the inclusion of the letter Hāʾ in it [the word al-ḥāqqa]. Its meaning is: the Day when each person will encounter his good and bad deeds.ʿUmar b. Wāṣil said:Its meaning is that on that day each group (ṭāʾifa) will be given its just reward (yaḥiqqu) for its works.His words, Mighty and Majestic is He:

And He will ask [the servant] about all of it, saying to him, �Did you not know about the hours [of the events of the Last Day] for My sake? Were you not placed in a position of [high standing] in assemblies [among people] for My sake? Did you not ask Me to marry you to such and such a bondswoman of Mine who was better than you and We married you to her? This is His questioning concerning the blessings He has bestowed upon you. So, how about His interrogation concerning the acts of transgression against Him?The saying has been related from ʿUtba al-Ghulām, �Truly, the believing servant will be kept standing before God, Exalted is He, a hundred years for one sin.�His words, Exalted is He:

It will be said, ‘Eat and drink to your heart’s content as a reward for what you have done in days gone by.’
Sahl al-Tustari

�Eat and drink in enjoyment [as a reward] for what you did formerly in days gone by.�This is referring to fasting during the month of Ramadan and during the days of the full moon. It has been mentioned in a ḥadīth that on the Day of Reckoning, tables spread with food will be placed before those believers who devoted themselves to fasting (ṣawwām), from which they will eat. [Others] will say, �O Lord, people are standing for the Reckoning who are not eating.� They will be told, �[These people] used to fast at length during the life of the world, while you ate your fill, and they would stay up at night in prayer while you took your rest.�

and [bind him] in a chain seventy metres long
Sahl al-Tustari

�And [bind him] in a chain seventy cubits long.�Each cubit is equivalent to seventy fathoms (bāʿ), and each fathom is longer that the distance between Kufa and Mecca. If you were to put one of its links on the summit of a mountain, it [the mountain] would melt, just as lead melts. This is what is related from Ibn ʿAbbās y. It is also related that ʿUmar once said to Kaʿb, �Frighten us, O Abū Isḥāq�. So he said, �O Commanderof the believers, if you performed acts of worship to the extent that you became like a pruned stick, and you had to your credit the works of seventy prophets, you would still think that you will not be saved from the command of your Lord and the Throne Bearers. When the Preserved Tablet is brought forward with the record of all the deeds, when Hell is displayed and Paradise is brought near, and humanity stands before the Lord of the Worlds, Hell will heave a sigh that will cause every one of the angels who are drawn near (malak muqarrab) and every prophet messenger (nabī mursal) to fall down on their knees without exception, to the point that Abraham will cry �My soul! My soul!� Then the just man (rajul ʿādil) and the oppressor (rajul jāʾir) will be summoned, [the name of each being called out] above the heads of the masses. When the just man is brought forward, his book will be raised up to him for him to receive in his right hand. There is no happiness, no joy, and no rapture that ever descended on a servant greater than that which will descend on him on that day. And he will say above the heads of the crowds what God, Exalted is He, related. Then the oppressor will be brought forward andhis book will be thrust into his left hand, and there is no grief, no humiliation, and no distress that ever befell a man severer than that which will befall that man. He will then say above the heads of the crowds what God, Exalted is He, has related. Then he will be seized and dragged on his face to the Fire and his flesh, bones and brains will be scattered about.�Upon this ʿUmar cried, �That�s enough for me! Enough!� Sahl said:The chains and shackles are not for the sake of binding [the people], but rather for the sake of dragging them ever lower, forever after, as long as they reside there.His words, Mighty and Majestic is He:
