‘Azza WerJall (to Him belongs Might and Majesty).” (Related by AlHaafiz Abu Ya‘la Al-Moosalee) It is Ghareeb with its chain of narrators, but some parts of the hadith are attested to by what is related in As-sahih, as we will clarity shortly, Insha Allah. We trust in Allah and completely depend on Him.

Man Will Be Raised By The Garment Of His Deeds — Whether They Are Good Or Bad

1) Their garments decompose after they rise from their graves. When they come to the Mawgif (place where they will gather), they will be naked. Then after that, they will wear the attire of Paradise.

2) When the Prophets, the truthful ones, and those after them in their respected ranking; are clothed, the attire of each person will be of the same hind that he died wearing. Then when people will enter Paradise, they will wear the garments of Paradise.

3) The meaning of garments hére is deeds, i.e., people will be resurrected in the deeds that they died upon, whether they were good or bad. Allah # said:

“And your garments purify") Explaining this last Verse, Al-Qataadah said, “And as for your deeds, purify them (making them sincere for Allah).” Then AlBaihagee mentioned the following narration, which is related by Muslim, to support his last answer: Jaabir 4 related that the Messenger of Allah 2 said, “Each slave (of Allah) will be resurrected on that which he died upon.” And in another narration, the Messenger of Allah #% said, “Whoever dies on a ranking from these rankings will be raised upon it on the Day of Resurrection.” (Ahmad) “Amr ibn Al-Aswad said, “When he left (on a journey), Mu’aadh asked us to look after his wife. She died and we buried her. He returned to us just as we raised our hands from burying her. He & said, ‘In what did you prepare her” We said, ‘In her garments.’ He made an order and the grave was dug up. Then we enshrouded her in new garments. He said, ‘Enshroud your dead well, for they will be resurrected in them (in the attire that that they are enshrouded in).’” (Related by Abu Bakr ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa) Ibn ‘Abbaas a said, “The dead will be resurrected in their shrouds.” (Related by Ibn Abee Ad-Dunyaa) It is related from Abu Al- ‘Aaliyah that ‘Abu Saaleh Al-Mizzee said, “It has reached me that they will come out of their graves in ugly shrouds, with decomposed bodies; their faces will be changed, their heads will be disheveled, and their bodies will be exhausted... The people will not know their Ma’waa (literally, shelter or resting place; here it means final abode) until they will leave the Maugif (place of gathering for accountability). They will be directed to Paradise or to the Hellfire.” He then called out with his loudest voice: “Alas! How awful is the destination if You do not shelter us with Your vast mercy! Our chests are constricted because of grave sins and crimes, for which there is no forgiver save You.”

And they will be set before your Lord in (lines as) vows, (and Allah will say): “Now indeed, you have come to Us as We created you the first time. Nay, but you thought that We had appointed no meeting for you (with Us).” And the Book (one's Record) will be placed {in the right hand for a believer in the Oneness of Allah, and in the left hand for a disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah), and you will see the Mujrimoon (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.), fearful of that which is (recorded) therein. They will say: “Woe to us! What sort of Book is this that leaves

“They made not a just estimate of Allah such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up ia His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partaers with Him! And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah will. Then it will be blown a second time and behold, they will be standing, looking on (waiting). And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord (Allah, when He will come to judge among men) and the Book will be placed (open) and the Prophets and the witnesses will be brought forward, and it will be judged between them with truth, and they will not be wronged.
