Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When Allah, the Exalted, gathers the servants on a land, a caller will call out: Every nation should follow that which it used to worship. So the people will follow that which they used to worship (in the world), and some people will remain in that state (i.e., they will not follow anyone). At that time, Allah, the Exalted, will come to them and say: What is the matter, all the people have gone and you are still here? They will say: We are waiting for our Lord. Allah, the Exalted, will say: Do you recognize Him? They will say: If You show us a sign, we will recognize our Lord. At that time, Allah, the Exalted, will uncover His shin and they will fall down in prostration." This is what Allah, the Exalted, has said in this verse: «﴿يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ سَاقٍ . . . . . .﴾» (Al-Qalam: 42/68) Translation: The Day the shin will be uncovered and they will be called to prostration but will not be able to do so.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every hypocrite will remain standing and will not be able to prostrate, then the believers will be sent towards Paradise."
