It is affirmed in the that the Mizan (Scale) will have two pans. There are also narrations and statements from scholars confirming that the Mizan will have a tongue and two pans, and that it is real, by which deeds will be weighed. Some scholars have even reported the consensus of the Ahl al-Sunnah (Sunnis) on this matter. As for the description of the vastness of the pans, that they will encompass the heavens and the earth, this has been narrated in a tradition from Salman (may Allah be pleased with him), and some scholars have explicitly stated it.
