Hadith on Sirat: Traverse over Hell thinner than a hair

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: We said, “O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do you have trouble seeing the sun on a day without clouds?” Abu Sa’id said, “I have come to know that the bridge over Hell is thinner than a hair and sharper than a sword.”

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَرَى رَبَّنَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلْ تُضَارُّونَ فِي رُؤْيَةِ الشَّمْسِ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمٌ صَحْوٌ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْجِسْرَ أَدَقُّ مِنْ الشَّعْرَةِ وَأَحَدُّ مِنْ السَّيْفِ
