Some will be riding an animal, some will be walking on foot, while some will be walking on their faces". The narrator (rawi) asked him as to how could they walk on
their faces, to which the Prophet replied, "The Almighty who taught them to walk on their feet certainly has the power to make them walk on their faces".
That day will be equal to 50000 years.
"(that) day the measure of which is fifty thousand years" (Surah-al-Ma'arij : 4).
"It is written in the third volume of 'Biharul Anwaar' that Ma'soorn (A.S.) has said that Qayamat has fifty haulting stations, and each station is equal to a thousand years. The
evil doers will have to wait for a thousand years in each station". The calculation of years is according to the time of this world, but there will not be any sun or moon (for days and nights). Man will be able to see all those things which he could not see in the world at night. And all the deeds which men committed concealing from one another will be made apparent in front of all.

Taha:108)
And they will try to call another, but their hearts will
come to their throats because of fear.
"When hearts shall rise up to the throats, grieving
inwardly". (Surah-al-Momin: 18).
Then the second station will be of companionship where
people will inquire about the state of one another.
"And some of them shall advance towards others
questioning each other". (Surah-at-Toor: 25)
In this way people will cross one station and another.
They will be scattered like moths
"The day on which men shall be as scattered moths".
(Surah-al-Qare'ah : 4) And will flee from their own parents,
brothers and children.
"They day on which a man shall fly from his brother,
