It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty "By the dawn" [Surah al-Fajr: 1] , that he said: This is an oath; and concerning "Indeed, your Lord is ever watchful" [Surah al-Fajr: 14] he said: Beyond the Sirat there will be three bridges (checkpoints): on one bridge will be (the questioning about) the trust, on the second bridge (the questioning about) the ties of kinship, and on the third bridge will be the Lord, the Mighty and Majestic (Himself, to take account). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
