Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
This hadith has been narrated through other chains of transmitters on the authority of Ibn Abbas, (and) the words are: While Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up to deliver a sermon, he said: 0 people, Allah would make you assemble barefooted, naked and uncircumcised (and then recited the words of the Qur'an):" As We created you for the first time, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise (binding) upon us. Lo! We are to perform it, and the first person who would be clothed on the Day of Resurrection would be (Hadrat) Ibrahim (peace be upon him)" and, behold! some persons of my Ummah would be brought and taken to the left and I would say: My Lord, they are my companions, and it would be said: You do not know what they did after you, and I would say just as the pious servant (Hadrat 'Isa) said:, I was a witness regarding them as I remained among them and Thou art a witness over everything, so if Thou chastisest them, they are Thy servants and if Thou for- givest them, Thou art Mighty, Wise" (v. 117-118). And it would be said to him: They constantly turned to their heels since you left them.This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Waki' and Mu'adh (and the words are):" What new things they fabricated."

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2860b
This Hadith about assembly on Judgment Day gives a longer sermon. The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said people will be gathered to Allah barefooted, naked, and uncircumcised, and he recited the verse about creation being repeated as it began. He then said Ibrahim (peace be upon him) would be the first clothed on the Day of Resurrection. The report also mentions people from the Ummah being taken to the left. The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) would say, “My Lord, they are my companions,” and he would be told that he did not know what they did after him, or what new things they made. The Hadith teaches fear of turning back after guidance and the seriousness of standing before Allah.
What we learn from this hadith
- People will be gathered as they were first created, according to the quoted verse.
- Ibrahim (peace be upon him) is mentioned as the first to be clothed.
- Some people from the Ummah are described as being taken to the left.
- The report warns against turning back and making new matters after the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم.
