حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " إِنَّكُمْ مَحْشُورُونَ رِجَالاً وَرُكْبَانًا وَتُجَرُّونَ عَلَى وُجُوهِكُمْ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2424
This hadith about the gathering on the Day of Judgment is brief but striking. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said that people will be gathered in different states: walking, riding, and dragged upon their faces. The text does not give extra detail here about who belongs to each group, so the safest explanation is to stay with the words of the narration. It tells us that the gathering will not be the same for everyone. Some will move normally, some will be carried or riding, and others will face a humiliating form of being dragged. For people searching for a hadith about being gathered on Judgment Day, this narration shows that the Day of Resurrection includes different states and outcomes.
What we learn from this hadith
- People will not all be gathered in the same condition.
- The hadith mentions walking, riding, and being dragged on faces.
- The image of being dragged shows the seriousness of that day.
- The narration encourages a person to think about their final standing before Allah.
