Waki' bin Hudus narrated that his paternal uncle Abu Razin said:"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, where was our Lord before He created His creation?' He said: He was above the clouds, below which was air, and above which was air and water. Then He created His Throne above the water

It was narrated that Safwan bin Muhriz Al-Mazini said:"We were with 'Abdullah bin 'Umar when he was circumambulating the House; a man came up to him and said: 'O Ibn 'Umar, what did you hear the Messenger of Allah say about the Najwa?' He said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'On the Day of Resurrection, the believer will be brought close to his Lord until He will cover him with His screen, then He will make him confess his sins. He will ask him: "Do you confess?" He will say: "O Lord, I confess." This will continue as long as Allah wills, then He will say: "I concealed them for you in the world, and I forgive you for them today." Then he will be given the scroll of his good deeds, or his record, in his right hand. But as for the disbeliever or the hypocrite, (his sins) will be announced before the witnesses.' " (One of the narrators) Khalid said: "At: 'before the witnesses' there is something missing." "These are the ones who lied against their Lord!' No doubt! The curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers

He will look at them, and they will look at Him, and they will not pay any attention to the delights (of Paradise) so long as they look at Him, until He will screen Himself from them. But His light and blessing will remain with them in their bodies

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الملك بن ابي الشوارب، حدثنا ابو عاصم العباداني، حدثنا الفضل الرقاشي، عن محمد بن المنكدر، عن جابر بن عبد الله، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " بينا اهل الجنة في نعيمهم اذ سطع لهم نور فرفعوا رءوسهم فاذا الرب قد اشرف عليهم من فوقهم فقال السلام عليكم يا اهل الجنة . قال وذلك قول الله {سلام قولا من رب رحيم} قال فينظر اليهم وينظرون اليه فلا يلتفتون الى شىء من النعيم ما داموا ينظرون اليه حتى يحتجب عنهم ويبقى نوره وبركته عليهم في ديارهم

You have a covenant with Allah and He wants to fulfill it." They will say: "What is it?" Has Allah not made the Balance (of our good deeds) heavy, and made our faces bright, and admitted us to Paradise and saved us from Hell?"

Then "When fear is banished from their hearts, they say: 'What is it that your Lord has said?' They say: 'The truth. And He is The Most High, The Most Great." He said: 'Then the eavesdroppers (from among the jinn) listen out for that, one above the other, so (one of them) hears the words and passes it on to the one beneath him. The Shihab (shooting star) may strike him before he can pass it on to the one beneath him and the latter can pass it on to the soothsayer or sorcerer, or it may not strike him until he has passed it on.
