(91) It is related by Ayesha Siddiqa that “I heard the Prophet making the supplication in some of his prayers [Namaz]: O God I judge me leniently on the Day of Judgement. I, thereupon, asked him, ‘O Apostle of God! What is meant by lenient reckoning?’ The Apostle replied, ‘It means that the bondsman’s Book of Deeds is seen and passed over [i.e., he is not questioned about it]. The truth, O Ayesha, is that he will be lost whose Balance-Sheet of Deeds is examined on the Day of Judgement.’”
