حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ فُلْفُلٍ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنِّي لَكُمْ إِمَامٌ، فَلَا تَسْبِقُونِي بِالرُّكُوعِ، وَلَا بِالسُّجُودِ، وَلَا بِالْقِيَامِ، فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ أَمَامِي وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَايْمُ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا "، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا رَأَيْتَ؟ قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ " (٣)، ،

English translation

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (ﷺ) said: I am your Imam, so do not go ahead of me in bowing, prostration, or standing, because I see you from in front of me as well as from behind me. And by the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (ﷺ), if you had seen what I have seen, you would laugh little and weep much. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), what have you seen? He replied: I have seen Paradise and Hell with my own eyes.
