حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يُعْرَضُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثَلاَثَ عَرَضَاتٍ فَأَمَّا عَرْضَتَانِ فَجِدَالٌ وَمَعَاذِيرُ وَأَمَّا الْعَرْضَةُ الثَّالِثَةُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَطِيرُ الصُّحُفُ فِي الأَيْدِي فَآخِذٌ بِيَمِينِهِ وَآخِذٌ بِشِمَالِهِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَلاَ يَصِحُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ . وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الرِّفَاعِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَلاَ يَصِحُّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ قِبَلِ أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِي مُوسَى .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The People Will Face Three Presentations On The Day Of Judgement. As For (The First) Two Presentations, They Are The Arguments And The Excuses, As For The Third Presentation, Upon That The Records Will Fly Into The Hands. Some Will Take Them In Their Right Hand, And Some Will Take Them In Their Left Hand." [Abu 'Eisa Said:] This Hadith Is Not Correct, Because Al-Hasan Did Not Hear From Abu Hurairah. Some Of Them Reported It From 'Ali Bin 'Ali - And He Is Ar-Rifa'I - From Al-Hasan, From Abu Musã From The Prophet Saw. [Abu 'Eisa Said:] This Hadith Is Not Correct, Because Al-Hasan Did Not Hear From Abü Musa].

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2425
This report about the records on the Day of Judgment describes three presentations. The first two are described as arguments and excuses. The third is when the records fly into people’s hands, with some taking them in the right hand and some in the left hand. A careful explanation must also mention the grading note in the provided text. Abu Eisa said this hadith is not correct because Al-Hasan did not hear from Abu Hurairah. He also mentioned another route through Abu Musa and said it is not correct because Al-Hasan did not hear from Abu Musa. So this entry should be read as a report that contains a known meaning about records, while also noting the compiler’s criticism of this specific chain.
