وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ: قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ، صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وسلمْ {يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبَارَهَا} ثُمَّ قَالَ: "أَتَدْرُونَ مَا أَخْبَارُهَا؟" قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: "فَإِنَّ أَخْبَارَهَا أَنْ تَشْهَدَ كُلِّ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ بِمَا عَمِلَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا تَقُولُ: عَمِلْتَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فِي يَوْمِ كَذَا وَكَذَا، فهذه أخبارها" ((رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ : حَدِيثٌ حَسَن صَحِيح)).
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited, "That Day it (the earth) will reveal its news (about all that happened over it of good or evil)." (99:4). Then he (ﷺ) inquired, "Do you know what its news are?" He was told: "Allah and His Messenger know better". He said, "Its news is that it shall bear witness against every slave man and woman they did on its back. It will say: 'You did this and this on such and such day.' Those will be its news." [At-Tirmidhi, who classified it as Hadith Hasan Sahih].
