Ikrimah says that Sirat is a bridge over Hell on which people will pass.

Hazrat Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Sirat will be placed and its edge will be as sharp as the edge of a razor. The angels will say, "O our Lord! Whom will You make to pass over it?" Allah Almighty will say, "I will make whomever I wish to pass over it."

Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the Day of Judgment, people will be brought towards the Scale and they will argue intensely.

Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Why do you not worry about the day when Hell will be brought forth and it will encompass both horizons? On that day it will be said that you cannot enter Paradise until you have circled around Hell. If you have light, you will remain firm on the Bridge (Sirat) with its help and attain salvation. If you do not have light, the hooks of Hell will seize you and you will be destroyed.

Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair says that the blade of the Bridge of Sirat is like a sword. There will be angels near it who will have hooks in their hands. The prophets will be standing and saying, "O our Lord, grant safety, grant safety." Some people will be wounded, some will fall into Hell, and some will attain salvation.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: When Allah Almighty created all creation, He wrote with His own hand for Himself that My mercy prevails over My wrath.

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you do not commit sins, Allah Almighty will bring another creation who will commit sins, and Allah Almighty will forgive them.

Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that if there were no such creatures for Allah Almighty who would commit sins, then Allah the Exalted would create a new creation who would commit sins, and then on the Day of Judgment they would be forgiven.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub that the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: If you do not commit sins, Allah will bring a people who will commit sins, then Allah will forgive them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Salman that when Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was shown the hidden (wondrous) secrets of the earth and the heavens, he saw a man committing adultery with a woman. He prayed against him, and he was destroyed. Then he saw another and prayed against him, and he too was destroyed. Then he saw a third and prayed against him, and he too was destroyed. Allah Almighty commanded: "Bring My servant down; My servants should not be destroyed."
