Hadith on Hisab: Whoever is interrogated will be punished

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever is fully taken to account on the Day of Resurrection will be punished.” I said, “Has not Allah Almighty said: He will soon have an easy reckoning?” (84:8) The Prophet said, “That is not the reckoning, for it is only the presentation of deeds. Whoever is interrogated for his account will be punished.”
