A hadith states: “The news of the earth implies that it will bear witness against the actions that every man and woman performed upon it. It will say: ‘He did such an action on so and so day and so and so action on such a day.’ This is its news.” (Sunan Al-Tirmidhi: 2437) It is stated in another hadith: “Be cautious of the earth as this is your essence. It will relate news about a person’s good and bad actions.” (Al-M’ujam Kabīr: 4596)
