Sunan an-Nasai 3993 — Bloodshed on the Day of Resurrection

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3993

This Day of Resurrection hadith says that the first scores settled among people will concern bloodshed. The narration places the warning in the setting of final judgment, where hidden facts and unresolved claims are brought forward. Its main lesson is the seriousness of harming or killing others. The wording “among the people” is important because it speaks about wrongs one person has done to another. The hadith does not give a detailed list of punishments, and it does not describe every stage of judgment. It tells us which kind of dispute will be addressed first. That alone is a strong call to avoid violence, revenge, and careless decisions that can end a life. It also gives weight to the claim of the victim. Even where a case was ignored or mishandled in this world, the narration teaches that bloodshed will not be treated as a minor matter on the Day of Resurrection.
