عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُحَاسَبُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا هَلَكَ» . قلتُ: أوَ ليسَ يقولُ اللَّهُ: (فسوْفَ يُحاسبُ حسابا يَسِيرا) فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ الْعَرْضُ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ نُوقِشَ فِي الْحساب يهلكُ» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
`A'isha reported the Prophet as saying, "Everyone who is taken to account on the day of resurrection will perish." She asked if God does not say, "He will made subject to an easy reckoning," * and he replied, "That is merely the review, but those who are closely examined in the reckoning will perish." *Quran; 84:8 This is here explained as a general review and not a detailed examination. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
