That the Prophet (ﷺ) talked to them about the night of his Ascension to the Heavens. He said, "(Then
Gabriel took me) and ascended up till he reached the second heaven where he asked for the gate to be
opened, but it was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel replied, 'I am Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is
accompanying you?' He replied, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he been called?' He said, 'Yes.'
When we reached over the second heaven, I saw Yahya (i.e. John) and Jesus who were cousins.
Gabriel said, 'These are John (Yahya) and Jesus, so greet them.' I greeted them and they returned the
greeting saying, 'Welcome, O Pious Brother and Pious Prophet!;' "

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " مَا مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مَوْلُودٌ إِلاَّ يَمَسُّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ حِينَ يُولَدُ، فَيَسْتَهِلُّ صَارِخًا مِنْ مَسِّ الشَّيْطَانِ، غَيْرَ مَرْيَمَ وَابْنِهَا ". ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ {وَإِنِّي أُعِيذُهَا بِكَ وَذُرِّيَّتَهَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ }.
Abu Huraira said, "I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, 'There is none born among the off-spring of Adam,
but Satan touches it. A child therefore, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of Satan,
except Mary and her child." Then Abu Huraira recited: "And I seek refuge with You for her and for
her offspring from the outcast Satan" (3.36)

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari:
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُرَّةَ الْهَمْدَانِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" فَضْلُ عَائِشَةَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ كَفَضْلِ الثَّرِيدِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الطَّعَامِ، كَمَلَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ كَثِيرٌ، وَلَمْ يَكْمُلْ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلاَّ مَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The superiority of `Aisha to other ladies is like the superiority of Tharid (i.e. meat and bread dish) to other meals. Many men reached the level of perfection, but no woman reached such a level except Mary, the daughter of `Imran and Asia, the wife of Pharaoh."
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "Amongst all those women who ride camels (i.e. Arabs), the ladies of Quraish are the best. They are merciful and kind to their off-spring and the best guardians of their husbands' properties.' Abu Huraira added, "Mary the daughter of `Imran never rode a camel."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If anyone testifies that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone Who
has no partners, and that Muhammad is His Slave and His Apostle, and that Jesus is Allah's Slave and
His Apostle and His Word which He bestowed on Mary and a Spirit created by Him, and that Paradise
is true, and Hell is true, Allah will admit him into Paradise with the deeds which he had done even if
those deeds were few." (Junada, the sub-narrator said, " 'Ubada added, 'Such a person can enter
Paradise through any of its eight gates he likes.")
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None spoke in cradle but three: (The first was) Jesus, (the second was), there a man
from Bani Israel called Juraij. While he was offering his prayers, his mother came and called him. He
said (to himself), 'Shall I answer her or keep on praying?" (He went on praying) and did not answer
her, his mother said, "O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes." So while he was
in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a shepherd and
presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her and then later she gave birth to a
child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his
hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablution and offered prayer,
and then came to the child and said, 'O child! Who is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.'
(After hearing this) the people said, 'We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,' but he said, 'No, of
nothing but mud.'(The third was the hero of the following story) A lady from Bani Israel was nursing
her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, 'O Allah ! Make my child like
him.' On that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, 'O Allah! Do not make me like him.'
The child then started to suck her breast again. (Abu Huraira further said, "As if I were now looking at
the Prophet (ﷺ) sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.") After a while the people passed by, with a
lady slave and she (i.e. the child's mother) said, 'O Allah! Do not make my child like this (slave girl)!,
On that the child left her breast and said, 'O Allah! Make me like her.' When she asked why, the child
replied, 'The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely accused of theft and illegal sexual
intercourse."

From Ma`mar as below.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I met Moses on the night of my Ascension to heaven." The Prophet (ﷺ) then described
him saying, as I think, "He was a tall person with lank hair as if he belonged to the people of the tribe
of Shanu's.' The Prophet (ﷺ) further said, "I met Jesus." The Prophet (ﷺ) described him saying, "He was one
of moderate height and was red-faced as if he had just come out of a bathroom. I saw Abraham whom
I resembled more than any of his children did." The Prophet (ﷺ) further said, "(That night) I was given
two cups; one full of milk and the other full of wine. I was asked to take either of them which I liked,
and I took the milk and drank it. On that it was said to me, 'You have taken the right path (religion). If
you had taken the wine, your (Muslim) nation would have gone astray."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" رَأَيْتُ عِيسَى وَمُوسَى وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ، فَأَمَّا عِيسَى فَأَحْمَرُ جَعْدٌ عَرِيضُ الصَّدْرِ، وَأَمَّا مُوسَى فَآدَمُ جَسِيمٌ سَبْطٌ كَأَنَّهُ مِنْ رِجَالِ الزُّطِّ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I saw Moses, Jesus and Abraham (on the night of my Ascension to the heavens).
Jesus was of red complexion, curly hair and a broad chest. Moses was of brown complexion, straight
hair and tall stature as if he was from the people of Az-Zutt."
The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned the Masih Ad-Dajjal in front of the people saying, Allah is not one-eyed
while Masih Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye and his eye looks like a bulging out grape. While
sleeping near the Ka`ba last night, I saw in my dream a man of brown color the best one can see
amongst brown color and his hair was long that it fell between his shoulders. His hair was lank and
water was dribbling from his head and he was placing his hands on the shoulders of two men while
circumambulating the Ka`ba. I asked, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'This is Jesus, son of Mary.' Behind
him I saw a man who had very curly hair and was blind in the right eye, resembling Ibn Qatan (i.e. an
infidel) in appearance. He was placing his hands on the shoulders of a person while performing Tawaf
around the Ka`ba. I asked, 'Who is this? 'They replied, 'The Masih, Ad-Dajjal.' "
No, By Allah, the Prophet (ﷺ) did not tell that Jesus was of red complexion but said, "While I was asleep
circumambulating the Ka`ba (in my dream), suddenly I saw a man of brown complexion and lank hair
walking between two men, and water was dropping from his head. I asked, 'Who is this?' The people
said, 'He is the son of Mary.' Then I looked behind and I saw a red-complexioned, fat, curly-haired
man, blind in the right eye which looked like a bulging out grape. I asked, 'Who is this?' They replied,
'He is Ad-Dajjal.' The one who resembled to him among the people, was Ibn Qatar." (Az-Zuhri said,
"He (i.e. Ibn Qatan) was a man from the tribe Khuza`a who died in the pre-lslamic period.")

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If a person teaches his slave girl good manners properly, educates her properly,
and then manumits and marries her, he will get a double reward. And if a man believes in Jesus and
then believes in me, he will get a double reward. And if a slave fears his Lord (i.e. Allah) and obeys
his masters, he too will get a double reward."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You will be resurrected (and assembled) bare-footed, naked and
uncircumcised." The Prophet (ﷺ) then recited the Divine Verse:-- "As We began the first creation, We
shall repeat it: A promise We have undertaken. Truly we shall do it." (21.104)
He added, "The first to be dressed will be Abraham. Then some of my companions will take to the
right and to the left. I will say: 'My companions! 'It will be said, 'They had been renegades since you
left them.' I will then say what the Pious Slave Jesus, the son of Mary said: 'And I was a witness over
them while I dwelt amongst them; when You did take me up, You were the Watcher over them, and
You are a Witness to all things. If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if you forgive them,
You, only You are the All-Mighty the All-Wise.' " (5.117-118) Narrated Quaggas, "Those were the
apostates who renegade from Islam during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr who fought them".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely (Jesus,) the son of Mary will soon
descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill
the pigs and there will be no Jizya (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in
abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better
than the whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Huraira added "If you wish, you can recite (this
verse of the Holy Book): -- 'And there is none Of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians)
But must believe in him (i.e Jesus as an Apostle of Allah and a human being) Before his death. And
on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness Against them." (4.159) (See Fath-ul-Bari, Page 302 Vol

`Uqba bin `Amr said to Hudhaifa, "Won't you relate to us of what you have heard from Allah's
Apostle ?" He said, "I heard him saying, "When Al-Dajjal appears, he will have fire and water along
with him. What the people will consider as cold water, will be fire that will burn (things). So, if
anyone of you comes across this, he should fall in the thing which will appear to him as fire, for in
reality, it will be fresh cold water." Hudhaifa added, "I also heard him saying, 'From among the people
preceding your generation, there was a man whom the angel of death visited to capture his soul. (So
his soul was captured) and he was asked if he had done any good deed.' He replied, 'I don't remember
any good deed.' He was asked to think it over. He said, 'I do not remember, except that I used to trade
with the people in the world and I used to give a respite to the rich and forgive the poor (among my
debtors). So Allah made him enter Paradise." Hudhaifa further said, "I also heard him saying, 'Once
there was a man on his death-bed, who, losing every hope of surviving said to his family: When I die,
gather for me a large heap of wood and make a fire (to burn me). When the fire eats my meat and
reaches my bones, and when the bones burn, take and crush them into powder and wait for a windy
day to throw it (i.e. the powder) over the sea. They did so, but Allah collected his particles and asked
him:
Why did you do so? He replied: For fear of You. So Allah forgave him." `Uqba bin `Amr said, "I
heard him saying that the Israeli used to dig the grave of the dead (to steal their shrouds).
On his death-bed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) put a sheet over his-face and when he felt hot, he would remove it
from his face. When in that state (of putting and removing the sheet) he said, "May Allah's Curse be
on the Jews and the Christians for they build places of worship at the graves of their prophets." (By
that) he intended to warn (the Muslim) from what they (i.e. Jews and Christians) had done.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Israelis used to be ruled and guided by prophets: Whenever a prophet died,
another would take over his place. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who
will increase in number." The people asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What do you order us (to do)?" He
said, "Obey the one who will be given the pledge of allegiance first. Fulfil their (i.e. the Caliphs)
rights, for Allah will ask them about (any shortcoming) in ruling those Allah has put under their
guardianship."
