Sunan Ibn Majah 4279 (Book 37, Hadith 180) #33635
The Day of Judgement and the Sirat

SUMMARY: On the Day of Judgement, people will be on the Sirat (Bridge across Hell-fire).

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah : "On the Day when the earth will be changed to another earth and so will be the heavens". 14:48 – where will the people be on that Day?’ He said: 'On the Sirat (the Bridge across Hell-fire).’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ‏{يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَوَاتُ ‏}‏ فَأَيْنَ تَكُونُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ ‏"‏ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for righteousness and faith in Allah
EXPLANATIONS:
On the Day of Judgement, all people will be gathered together and will have to cross a bridge called ‘Sirat’. This bridge is said to be over Hell-fire. It is believed that this bridge is so thin that it can only fit one strand of hair. People who are righteous and have faith in Allah will easily cross this bridge while those who do not believe in Allah or have done wrong deeds in their life may find it difficult to pass through this bridge. The ones who successfully pass through this bridge will enter Heaven while those who fail to do so shall fall into Hell-fire. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive for righteousness and faith in Allah as these are essential for our salvation on the Day of Judgement.
