Hadith 87

From Ibn Masoud who said, ‘I was seated in the presence of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and he-asws said: ‘For the Day of Qiyamah, there are fifty pausings, each pausing being of a thousand years. So, the first pausing is the exit from his grave, being withheld for a thousand years, naked, bare-footed, hungry, thirsty. The one who exits from his grave as a believer in his Lord-azwj, and as a believer in His-azwj Paradise, and His-azwj Fire, and as a believer in the Resurrection, and the Reckoning, and the Day of Qiyamah, acknowledging with Allah-azwj, ratifying His-azwj Prophet-saww, and with whatever came from the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, would be saved from the hunger and the thirst.

And it is said, ‘As different groups. [88]
