ابن ماجہ · Hadith 183

It was narrated that Safwân bin Muhriz Al-Mâzini said: “We were with ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Umar when he was circumambulating the House; a man came up to him and said: ‘0 Ibn ‘Umar, what did you hear the Messenger of Allah p.b.u.h say about the Najwa?’ He said: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah p.b.u.h say: ‘On the Day of Resurrection, the believer will be brought close to his Lord until He will cover him with His screen, then He will make him confess his sins. He will ask hint “Do you confess?” He will say: “0 Lord, I confess.” This will continue as long as AJlah wills, then He will say: “I concealed them for you in the world, and I forgive you for them today.” Then he will be given the scroll of his good deeds, or his record, in his right hand. But as for the disbeliever or the hypocrite, sins) will be announced before the witnesses.’” (One of the narrators) Khalid said: “At: ‘before the witnesses’ there is something missing. “These are the ones who lied against their Lord!’ No doubt! the curse of Allah is on the wrongdoers.” (Sahih)
