Maryam 19:85

<h2>The Condition of the Righteous and the Criminals on the Day of Resurrection</h2><p>Allah, the Exalted, informs about His righteous friends, who feared Him in the life of this world. They followed His Messengers and believed in what the Messengers told them. They obeyed them in what they commanded them and abstained from that which they prohibited. Allah explains that He will gather these people on the Day of Resurrection like a delegation that has come to Him. A Wafd (delegation) is a group that arrives while riding and from it comes the word Wufud (arriving). They will come riding upon noble steeds of light from the riding animals of the Hereafter. They will arrive before the Best Receiver of delegations at the abode of His honor and pleasure. In reference to the criminals, who denied the Messengers and opposed them, they will be driven violently to the Hellfire. Allah says,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">وِرْداً</div><p>(In a thirsty state.) This means parched and thirsting for drink. This was stated by `Ata', Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and many others. Here it will be said,</p><div class="arabic uthmani">أَىُّ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ خَيْرٌ مَّقَاماً وَأَحْسَنُ نَدِيّاً</div><p>(Which of the two groups is best in Maqam (position) and the finest Nadiyyan …

On the day when We shall gather the righteous unto the Beneficent, a goodly company.

The day We shall gather the righteous to (Allah) Most Gracious, like a band presented before a king for honours,

The Day We shall gather the Muttaqun (pious - see V. 2:2) unto the Most Beneficent (Allah), like a delegate (presented before a king for honour).

On the Day when We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful, as guests.
