WITNESSING OF THE EARTH

409

“’On that Day it shall proclaim her news.’ 99:4 Koran. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, inquired: ‘"Do you know what its news is?’ They replied: ‘Allah and His Messenger, praise and peace be upon him, know best.’ He said: ‘Its news is that it will bear witness against every man and women concerning the things they did on its back. It will say: You did this and this on such and such a day. This will be its news.”

Tirmidhi with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, recited this.
