‘Do you want me to tell you what Allah Almighty will say to the believers first on the Day of Rising, and what you will say to Him first?’ ‘Yes, Messenger of Allah,’ the Companions answered. He said, ‘Allah Almighty will say to the believers, “Did you want to meet me?” They will answer, “Yes, our Lord.” He will ask, “Why?” and they will say, “We hoped for Your forgiveness and Your pardon.” He will say, “My forgiveness is mandatory for you.”’ (Aḥmad 22072, Ṭabarānī in Kabīr 20:125 and Bayhaqī in Shuʿab 1017).
