Bismillah
Abu Hurayra reported that Allah's Messenger said: "After the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the People of the Fire enter Hell, Death will be brought foreward in the form of a spotted ram. It will be on the wall which seperated the people of Paradise from the people of the Fire. Then it will be said: 'O people of Paradise!' Thereupon they will raise their heads and stare apprehensively. Then it will be said: 'O people of the Fire!' Whereupon its inhabitants will raise their heads in hope of intercession. After this the people of Paradise and the inhabitants of the Fire will be addressed thus: 'Do you know what this is?' They will all reply: 'We know it; it is Death, which was assigned to us.' Thereupon Death will be placed on its side and slaughtered on the wall. Finally, it will be said: 'O people of Paradise, only eternity and no more death. O people of the Fire, only eternity and more death.'"
