Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُخْتَارُ بْنُ فُلْفُلٍ،، ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ، لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا، وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا "، قَالُوا: وَمَا رَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ "، وَحَضَّهُمْ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، وَنَهَاهُمْ أَنْ يَسْبِقُوهُ بِالرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ، وَنَهَاهُمْ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفُوا قَبْلَ انْصِرَافِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ، وَقَالَ: " إِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَمِنْ أَمَامِي " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (ﷺ) turned towards us after finishing the prayer and said: Indeed, I see you from in front of me as well as from behind me. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, 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." O people! I am your Imam, so do not go ahead of me in bowing, prostration, standing, sitting, or finishing (the prayer), for I see you from in front of me as well as from behind me.
