A believer is brought close to his Almighty Lord on the Day of Judgment, and He bestows His Kanaf (concealment) on him and makes him confess his sins
عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ مُحْرِزٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما كَيْفَ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: فِي النَّجْوَى؟ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «يُدْنَى الْمُؤْمِنُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، حَتَّى يَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ كَنَفَهُ، فَيُقَرِّرُهُ بِذُنُوبِهِ، فَيَقُولُ: هَلْ تَعْرِفُ؟ فَيَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ أَعْرِفُ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَتَرْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَإِنِّي أَغْفِرُهَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ، فَيُعْطَى صَحِيفَةَ حَسَنَاتِهِ، وَأَمَّا الْكُفَّارُ وَالْمُنَافِقُونَ، فَيُنَادَى بِهِمْ عَلَى رؤُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَذَبُوا عَلَى اللهِ».
Explanation
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informed about the secret talk between Allah and His believing slave on the Day of Judgment saying: A believer is brought close to his Lord on the Day of Judgment and He conceals him from the gathered creation so no one would know his secret other than him. He says to him: Do you know such-and-such sin, making him confess the sins between him and his Lord. He will say: O Lord, yes.
When the believer, consequently, feels scared and afraid, Allah Almighty says to him: I have concealed them for you in the worldly life, and I forgive them for you today, and he will be handed the record of his good deeds. As for the disbeliever and the hypocrite, they are called out before all the witnesses: These are the ones who lied against their Lord. Indeed, Allah’s curse is upon the wrongdoers.
