Sunan Abi Dawud 4755 (Book 42, Hadith 160) #25046
Remembering Family on the Day of Resurrection

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of remembering one's family on the Day of Resurrection and how there are three places where no one will remember anyone.

'A’ishah said that she thought of Hell and wept. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) asked her : What makes you weep ? She replied : I thought of Hell and wept. Will you remember your family on the 4th Day of resurrection ? the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said : There are three places where no one will remember anyone: at the scale until one knows whether his weight is light or heavy; at (the examination of) the book when one is commanded : Take and read Allah’s record, until he knows whether his book will be put into his right hand, or into his left hand, or behind his back ; and the path when it is placed across JAHANNAM.
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَحُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، أَنَّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏:‏ أَنَّهَا ذَكَرَتِ النَّارَ فَبَكَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ مَا يُبْكِيكِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ ‏:‏ ذَكَرْتُ النَّارَ فَبَكَيْتُ، فَهَلْ تَذْكُرُونَ أَهْلِيكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏:‏ ‏"‏ أَمَّا فِي ثَلاَثَةِ مَوَاطِنَ فَلاَ يَذْكُرُ أَحَدٌ أَحَدًا ‏:‏ عِنْدَ الْمِيزَانِ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَيَخِفُّ مِيزَانُهُ أَوْ يَثْقُلُ، وَعِنْدَ الْكِتَابِ حِينَ يُقَالُ ‏{‏ هَاؤُمُ اقْرَءُوا كِتَابِيَهْ ‏}‏ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَيْنَ يَقَعُ كِتَابُهُ أَفِي يَمِينِهِ أَمْ فِي شِمَالِهِ أَمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِهِ، وَعِنْدَ الصِّرَاطِ إِذَا وُضِعَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَىْ جَهَنَّمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ ‏:‏ عَنْ يُونُسَ وَهَذَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِ

Remember your family members in this life for their benefit after death

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of remembering our families on the day of resurrection. It is narrated by 'Aishah who was so moved by her thoughts about hell that she wept. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ then asked her why she was weeping and she replied that it was because she thought about hell. He then told her that there are three places where no one will remember anyone - at the scale until one knows whether his weight is light or heavy; at (the examination of) the book when one is commanded : Take and read Allahs record, until he knows whether his book will be put into his right hand, or into his left hand, or behind his back ; and the path when it is placed across JAHANNAM. This hadith teaches us to always remember our families in this life as we do not know what awaits us in the hereafter. We should strive to make sure that our families are taken care off in this life so they can benefit from our good deeds in their lives after death as well.
