حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ. أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ يُحْشَرُ الْكَافِرُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ " أَلَيْسَ الَّذِي أَمْشَاهُ عَلَى الرِّجْلَيْنِ فِي الدُّنْيَا قَادِرًا عَلَى أَنْ يُمْشِيَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ". قَالَ قَتَادَةُ بَلَى وَعِزَّةِ رَبِّنَا.
Anas bin Malik Narrated from:
A man said, "O Allah's Prophet! Will Allah gather the non-believers on their faces on the Day of Resurrection?" He said, "Will not the One Who made him walk on his feet in this world, be able to make him walk on his face on the Day of Resurrection?" (Qatada, a subnarrator, said: Yes, By the Power of Our Lord!)

Summary of Sahih Bukhari Hadith 4760
This hadith about the Day of Resurrection answers a direct question: can the non-believers be gathered on their faces? The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم points to something everyone already sees in daily life. Allah made human beings walk on their feet in this world. So the One who gave that ability is also able to make a person move on his face on the Day of Resurrection. The core message is simple: Allah’s power is not limited by what feels normal to us. The hadith teaches belief in resurrection, accountability, and Allah’s complete ability over creation without adding details beyond the text.
What we learn from this hadith
- Allah has power over how people are gathered on the Day of Resurrection.
- What seems unusual to people is not hard for the Creator.
- The believer should accept true reports about the Hereafter with humility.
