The Card Bearing the Testimony of Faith
إنَّ اللهَ سيُخلِّصُ رجلًا مِن أمَّتي على رؤوسِ الخلائقِ يومَ القيامةِ فينشُرُ عليه تسعةً وتسعينَ سِجِلًّا كلُّ سِجلٍّ مدُّ البصرِ ثمَّ يقولُ له: أتُنكِرُ شيئًا مِن هذا ؟ أظلَمك كتَبتي الحافظون ؟ فيقولُ: لا يا ربِّ فيقولُ: أفلك عذرٌ أو حسنةٌ ؟ فيُبهَتُ الرَّجلُ ويقولُ: لا يا ربِّ فيقولُ: بلى إنَّ لك عندنا حسنةً وإنَّه لا ظُلمَ عليك اليومَ فيُخرِجُ له بطاقةً فيها: أشهَدُ أنْ لا إلهَ إلَّا اللهُ وأنَّ محمَّدًا عبدُه ورسولُه فيقولُ: احضُرْ وزنَك فيقولُ: يا ربِّ ما هذه البطاقةُ مع هذه السِّجلَّاتِ ؟ فيقولُ: إنَّك لا تُظلَمُ قال: فتوضَعُ السِّجلَّاتُ في كِفَّةٍ والبطاقةُ في كِفَّةٍ فطاشت السِّجلَّاتُ وثقُلتِ البطاقةُ يُقالُ: فلا يثقُلُ اسمَ اللهِ شيءٌ
`Abdullah b. `Amr reported God's messenger as saying that on the day of resurrection God will separate a man belonging to his people in presence of all creatures and spread ninety-nine scrolls over him, each scroll extending as far as the eye can see, then say, "Do you object to anything in this? Have my scribes who keep note wronged you?" He will reply, "No, my Lord." He will ask him if he has any excuse; and when he tells his Lord that he has none, He will say, "On the contrary you have with Us a good deed, and you will not be wronged to-day." A document will then be brought out containing, "I testify that there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger," and He will say, "Come to be weighed." He will ask his Lord what this document along with these scrolls is. and He will reply, "You will not be wronged." The scrolls will then be put in one side of the scale and the document in the other, and the scrolls will become light and the document heavy, for nothing can compare in weight with God's name. Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.

‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “A man from my nation will be called before all of creation on the Day of Resurrection, and ninety-nine scrolls will be spread out for him, each one extending as far as the eye can see. Then Allah will say: “Do you deny anything of this?” He will say: “No, O Lord.” He will say: “Have My recording scribes been unfair to you?” Then He will say: “Apart from that, do you have any good deeds?” The man will be terrified and will say: “No.” (Allah) will say: “Indeed, you have good deeds with Us, and you will not be treated unjustly this Day.” Then a card will be brought out on which is written Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger). He will say: “O Lord, what is this card compared with these scrolls?” He will say: “You will not be treated unjustly.” Then the scrolls will be placed in one side of the Balance and the card in the other. The scrolls will go up (i.e., be light) and the card will go down (i.e., will weigh heavily).”
