Sahih al-Bukhari 7437, 7438
Narrated 'Ata' bin Yazid Al-Laithi:
On the authority of Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! 
     Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 
     "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night?" 
     They said, "No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "Do you have any 
     difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They said, 
     "No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "So you will see Him, like that. 
     Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection, and say, 
     'Whoever worshipped something (in the world) should follow (that 
     thing),' so, whoever worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and 
     whoever worshiped the moon will follow the moon, and whoever used to 
     worship certain (other false) deities, he will follow those deities. 
     And there will remain only this nation with its good people (or its 
     hypocrites). (The sub-narrator, Ibrahim is in doubt.) Allah will come 
     to them and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will (deny Him and) say, 'We 
     will stay here till our Lord comes, for when our Lord comes, we will 
     recognize Him.' So Allah will come to them in His appearance which 
     they know, and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our
     Lord,' so they will follow Him. 


     Then a bridge will be laid across Hell (Fire)' I and my followers will
     be the first ones to go across it and none will speak on that Day 
     except the Apostles. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day 
     will be, 'O Allah, save! Save!' In Hell (or over The Bridge) there 
     will be hooks like the thorns of As-Sa'dan (thorny plant). Have you 
     seen As-Sa'dan? " They replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "So
     those hooks look like the thorns of As-Sa'dan, but none knows how big 
     they are except Allah. Those hooks will snap the people away according
     to their deeds. Some of the people will stay in Hell (be destroyed) 
     because of their (evil) deeds, and some will be cut or torn by the 
     hooks (and fall into Hell) and some will be punished and then 
     relieved. When Allah has finished His Judgments among the people, He 
     will take whomever He will out of Hell through His Mercy. He will then
     order the angels to take out of the Fire all those who used to worship
     none but Allah from among those whom Allah wanted to be merciful to 
     and those who testified (in the world) that none has the right to be 
     worshipped but Allah. The angels will recognize them in the Fire by 
     the marks of prostration (on their foreheads), for the Fire will eat 
     up all the human body except the mark caused by prostration as Allah 
     has forbidden the Fire to eat the mark of prostration. They will come 
     out of the (Hell) Fire, completely burnt and then the water of life 
     will be poured over them and they will grow under it as does a seed 
     that comes in the mud of the torrent. 


     Then Allah will finish the judgments among the people, and there will 
     remain one man facing the (Hell) Fire and he will be the last person 
     among the people of Hell to enter Paradise. He will say, 'O my Lord! 
     Please turn my face away from the fire because its air has hurt me and
     its severe heat has burnt me.' So he will invoke Allah in the way 
     Allah will wish him to invoke, and then Allah will say to him, 'If I 
     grant you that, will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 
     'No, by Your Power, (Honor) I will not ask You for anything else.' He 
     will give his Lord whatever promises and covenants Allah will demand. 


     So Allah will turn his face away from Hell (Fire). When he will face 
     Paradise and will see it, he will remain quiet for as long as Allah 
     will wish him to remain quiet, then he will say, 'O my Lord! Bring me 
     near to the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say to him, 'Didn't you give
     your promises and covenants that you would never ask for anything more
     than what you had been given? Woe on you, O Adam's son! How 
     treacherous you are!' He will say, 'O my lord,' and will keep on 
     invoking Allah till He says to him, 'If I give what you are asking, 
     will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by Your 
     (Honor) Power, I will not ask for anything else.'


     Then he will give covenants and promises to Allah and then Allah will 
     bring him near to the gate of Paradise. When he stands at the gate of 
     Paradise, Paradise will be opened and spread before him, and he will 
     see its splendor and pleasures whereupon he will remain quiet as long 
     as Allah will wish him to remain quiet, and then he will say, O my 
     Lord! Admit me into Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you give your 
     covenants and promises that you would not ask for anything more than 
     what you had been given?' Allah will say, 'Woe on you, O Adam's son! 
     How treacherous you are! ' 


     The man will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most miserable of 
     Your creation,' and he will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will 
     laugh because of his sayings, and when Allah will laugh because of 
     him, He will say to him, 'Enter Paradise,' and when he will enter it, 
     Allah will say to him, 'Wish for anything.' So he will ask his Lord, 
     and he will wish for a great number of things, for Allah Himself will 
     remind him to wish for certain things by saying, '(Wish for) 
     so-and-so.' When there is nothing more to wish for, Allah will say, 
     'This is for you, and its equal (is for you) as well."


     'Ata' bin Yazid added: Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri who was present with Abu 
     Huraira, did not deny whatever the latter said, but when Abu Huraira 
     said that Allah had said, "That is for you and its equal as well," Abu
     Sa'id Al-Khudri said, "And ten times as much, O Abu Huraira!" Abu 
     Huraira said, "I do not remember, except his saying, 'That is for you 
     and its equal as well.'" Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri then said, "I testify 
     that I remember the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'That is for you, and ten times as
     much.' ' Abu Huraira then added, "That man will be the last person of 
     the people of Paradise to enter Paradise."
