(92) It is narrated by Abu Sa’eed Khadri that [once] he went to
the Apostle of God and said: “The Day of Judgement, about which
it has been said: On that Day men will stand in the presence of the
Lord of the Worlds, who will have the strength to remain standing on
it [i.e., who will be able to stand throughout the Day of Judgement
about which it is stated in the Quran and the Traditions that it will
be equal to fifty thousand years]?” The Prophet replied, “For
the truthful Believers it will be made easy to stand on that Day so
much so that it will be like standing for an obligatory prayer-service.”
-Baihaqi
Commentary.-An indication of what the Prophet told Abu Sa’eed
Khadri is also available in the Quran which reads: For when the
Trumpet shall sound, surely that day will be a day of anguish, not of
ease, for the disbelievers.
(lxxiv : 8-10)
