Authentic Hadiths on Salvation on the Day of Judgment
According to Islamic scholars, understanding the nature of eternal success requires looking at the prophetic descriptions of the afterlife. These specific texts emphasize the expansive mercy of the Divine on the Day of Resurrection, demonstrating how believers receive unique avenues of ultimate safety. The narration outlines that even when some individuals arrive with immense burdens of wrongdoing as heavy as mountains, these errors are pardoned and shifted away. In their place, a proxy system is enacted where others take their position, acting as a direct rescue from the fires of Hell. These reports were deemed so significant that historic figures like 'Umar bin Abd al-'Aziz repeatedly sought solemn confirmation of their authenticity. Together, these accounts highlight a profound reassurance of divine forgiveness and the preservation of faithful souls during the final accountability.

Abu Burda Narrated from:
Abu Burda reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There would come people amongst the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them and He would place in their stead the Jews and the Christians. (As far as I think), Abu Raub said: I do not know as to who is in doubt. Abu Burda said: I narrated it to 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz, whereupon he said: Was it your father who narrated it to you from Allah's Apostle (ﷺ)? I said: Yes.

Safwan bin Muhriz Narrated from:
A person said to Ibn 'Umar: How did you hear Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying something about intimate conversation? He said: I heard him say: A believer will be brought to his Lord, the Exalted and Glorious, on the Day of Resurrection and He would place upon him His veil (of Light) and make him confess his faults and say: Do you recognise (your faults)? He would say: My Lord, I do recognise (them).He (the Lord) would say: I concealed them for you in the world. And today I forgive them. And he would then be given the Book containing (the account of his) good deeds. And so far as the non-believers and hypocrites are concerned, there would be general announcement about them before all creation telling them that these (people, i. e. non-believers and hypocrites) told a lie about Allah.
