حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلاً كَمَا خُلِقُوا ثُمَّ قَرَأََ (كَمَا بَدَأْنَا أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُعِيدُهُ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ ) وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يُكْسَى مِنَ الْخَلاَئِقِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَيُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي بِرِجَالٍ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَصْحَابِي . فَيُقَالُ إِنَّكَ لاَ تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَزَالُوا مُرْتَدِّينَ عَلَى أَعْقَابِهِمْ مُنْذُ فَارَقْتَهُمْ . فَأَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُْ: (إِنْ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ) ". حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ، بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The People Will Be Gathered On The Day Of Resurrection Bare-Foot, Naked And Uncircumcised As They Were Created." Then He Recited: "As We Begin The First Creation, We Shall Repeat It: A Promise Binding Upon Us. Truly We Shall Do It. And The First Of People To Be Clothed Will Be Ibrahim.Among My Companions Will Be Some Men Who Are Taken To The Right And To The Left. I Will Say: 'O My Lord! My Companions!' It Will Be Said: 'You Do Not Know What They Innovated After You, They Continued To Be Apostates Since You Parted From Them.' So I Will Say As The Righteous Worshipper Said: If You Punish Them, They Are Your Slaves, And If You Forgive Them, Indeed You, Only You Are The Almighty, The All-Wise."(Another Chain) And He Mentioned Similarly. [Abü 'Eisa Said:] This Hadith Is Hasan Sahih].

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2423
This hadith about the Day of Resurrection describes how people will be gathered before Allah. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said that people will be gathered barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised, just as they were created. He then recited the verse about Allah repeating the first creation. The hadith also states that Ibrahim will be the first of creation to be clothed. Then the narration mentions some men from the Prophet’s companions being taken to the right and left, and the Prophet (s.a.w) being told that he did not know what they changed after him. The explanation should stay with the text: it is about resurrection, gathering, and the serious matter of remaining firm after the Prophet (s.a.w).
What we learn from this hadith
- People will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection as they were first created.
- The hadith connects resurrection with Allah’s promise to repeat creation.
- Ibrahim is mentioned as the first to be clothed among creation.
- Changing after guidance is shown as a serious danger in this narration.
