Once `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz delayed the `Asr prayer a little. `Urwa said to him, "Gabriel descended
and led the prayer in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) " On that `Umar said, "O `Urwa! Be sure of what you say."
"Urwa, "I heard Bashir bin Abi Masud narrating from Ibn Masud who heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying,
'Gabriel descended and led me in prayer; and then prayed with him again, and then prayed with him
again, and then prayed with him again, and then prayed with him again, counting with his fingers five
prayers."

Narrated Abu Dhar:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" قَالَ لِي جِبْرِيلُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ، أَوْ لَمْ يَدْخُلِ النَّارَ، قَالَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ قَالَ وَإِنْ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Gabriel said to me, 'Whoever amongst your followers die without having
worshipped others besides Allah, will enter Paradise (or will not enter the (Hell) Fire)." The Prophet (ﷺ)
asked. "Even if he has committed illegal sexual intercourse or theft?" He replied, "Even then."

Chapter 6: The reference to angels - كتاب بدء الخلق
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" الْمَلاَئِكَةُ يَتَعَاقَبُونَ، مَلاَئِكَةٌ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَلاَئِكَةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ، وَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي صَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ، ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ الَّذِينَ بَاتُوا فِيكُمْ، فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ وَهْوَ أَعْلَمُ، فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ تَرَكْتُمْ {عِبَادِي} فَيَقُولُونَ تَرَكْنَاهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ، وَأَتَيْنَاهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Angels keep on descending from and ascending to the Heaven in turn, some at
night and some by daytime, and all of them assemble together at the time of the Fajr and `Asr prayers.
Then those who have stayed with you over-night, ascent unto Allah Who asks them, and He knows
the answer better than they, "How have you left My slaves?" They reply, "We have left them praying
as we found them praying." If anyone of you says "Amin" (during the Prayer at the end of the
recitation of Surat-al-Faitiha), and the angels in Heaven say the same, and the two sayings coincide,
all his past sins will be forgiven."
I stuffed for the Prophet (ﷺ) a pillow decorated with pictures (of animals) which looked like a Namruqa
(i.e. a small cushion). He came and stood between the two doors and his face began to change. I
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What did we do wrong?" He said, "What is this pillow?" I said, "I have prepared this
pillow for you, so that you may recline on it." He said, "Don't you know that angels do not enter a
house wherein there are pictures; and whoever makes a picture will be punished on the Day of
Resurrection and will be asked to give life to (what he has created)?"

is a picture." Busr said, "Later on Zaid bin Khalid fell ill and we called on him. To our surprise we
saw a curtain decorated with pictures in his house. I said to Ubaidullah Al-Khaulani, "Didn't he (i.e.
Zaid) tell us about the (prohibition of) pictures?" He said, "But he excepted the embroidery on
garments. Didn't you hear him?" I said, "No." He said, "Yes, he did."

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْرَأُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ {وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِكُ}. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فِي قِرَاءَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَنَادَوْا يَا مَالِ.
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) reciting the following Verse on the pulpit: "They will call: O Malik...' and Sufyan
said that `Abdullah recited it: 'They will call: O Mali...' (43.77)
That she asked the Prophet (ﷺ) , 'Have you encountered a day harder than the day of the battle) of Uhud?"
The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Your tribes have troubled me a lot, and the worse trouble was the trouble on the
day of 'Aqaba when I presented myself to Ibn `Abd-Yalail bin `Abd-Kulal and he did not respond to
my demand. So I departed, overwhelmed with excessive sorrow, and proceeded on, and could not
relax till I found myself at Qarnath-Tha-alib where I lifted my head towards the sky to see a cloud
shading me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw Gabriel in it. He called me saying, 'Allah has heard
your people's saying to you, and what they have replied back to you, Allah has sent the Angel of the
Mountains to you so that you may order him to do whatever you wish to these people.' The Angel of
the Mountains called and greeted me, and then said, "O Muhammad! Order what you wish. If you
like, I will let Al-Akh-Shabain (i.e. two mountains) fall on them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No but I hope
that Allah will let them beget children who will worship Allah Alone, and will worship None besides
Him."
I asked Zir bin Hubaish regarding the Statement of Allah: "And was at a distance Of but two bowlengths
Or (even) nearer; So did (Allah) convey The Inspiration to His slave (Gabriel) and then he
(Gabriel) Conveyed (that to Muhammad). (53.9-10) On that, Zir said, "Ibn Mas`ud informed us that
the Prophet (ﷺ) had seen Gabriel having 600 wings."
Regarding the Verse: "Indeed he (Muhammad) did see. Of the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!"
(53.18) That the Prophet (ﷺ) had seen a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the sky.
Whoever claimed that (the Prophet) Muhammad saw his Lord, is committing a great fault, for he only
saw Gabriel in his genuine shape in which he was created covering the whole horizon.
I asked Aisha "What about His Statement:-- "Then he (Gabriel) approached And came closer, And
was at a distance Of but two bow-lengths Or (even) nearer?" (53.8-9) She replied, "It was Gabriel who
used to come to the Prophet (ﷺ) in the figure of a man, but on that occasion, he came in his actual and real
figure and (he was so huge) that he covered the whole horizon."

them), 'Cover me! (with a blanket), cover me!' Then Allah sent the Revelation: "O, You wrapped up

women), and so I quickly went away from that palace." (When `Umar heard this from the Prophet), he
wept and said, "Do you think it is likely that I feel Ghaira because of you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?"

what they used to do." (32.17)

moon when it is full. They will not spit or blow their noses or relieve nature. Their utensils will be of
gold and their combs of gold and silver; in their centers the aloe wood will be used, and their sweat
will smell like musk. Everyone of them will have two wives; the marrow of the bones of the wives'
legs will be seen through the flesh out of excessive beauty. They ( i.e. the people of Paradise) will
neither have differences nor hatred amongst themselves; their hearts will be as if one heart and they
will be glorifying Allah in the morning and in the evening."
