How authentic is the Hadith: "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul, it will be lightened for the believer until it becomes easier for him than a prescribed prayer he performs in this world," which is mentioned in the interpretation of the verse: "On a Day the extent of which is fifty thousand years"? And how can a believer be reassured about their fate on the Day of Resurrection, so that Satan finds no way to their despair?

People differ in the extent to which they are affected by the horrors of the Day of Judgment. They are eased for believers and intensified for others. While the sun draws near to creation, people drown in their sweat according to their deeds. For some, the sweat covers their ankles; for others, it reaches their knees or waists; and for some, the sweat bridles them. People pass over the Sirat (bridge) at varying speeds; some pass like lightning, some like the wind, some like strong men, and others crawl, all according to their deeds. On the Day of Judgment, Allah's mercy will be at its greatest, and believers will rejoice in it.
