حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُلْهَمُونَ لِذَلِكَ " بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِهِمَا وَذَكَرَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ " فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا بَقِيَ فِي النَّارِ إِلاَّ مَنْ حَبَسَهُ الْقُرْآنُ أَىْ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْخُلُودُ " .
Anas bin Malik Narrated from:
The Prophet of Allah (may peace be, upon him) said: Allah will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection and they would be made mindful of it; and the rest (of the hadith) is like the one narrated above; and then he mentioned the fourth time: And I (the Holy Prophet) would say: O my Lord, no one is left in the Fire except he whom the Qur'an has restrained, i e. eternally doomed.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 193c
This hadith is another narration of the same intercession account from Anas bin Malik. It says Allah will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection and they will be made mindful of the matter. The rest is like the earlier narration, and it mentions the fourth time when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says that none remains in the Fire except the one whom the Qur'an has restrained, meaning the one for whom eternal stay is due according to the wording. The core topic is great intercession, but this entry focuses on the gathering of believers and the repeated return of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. It also shows that the narration was transmitted through another route while keeping the same main meaning.
What we learn from this hadith
- Allah gathers the believers on the Day of Resurrection.
- The narration points to the same intercession account reported earlier.
- It mentions the Prophet's statement about those restrained by the Qur'an.
- The wording keeps eternal stay tied to what the Qur'an has made binding.
