(the mother of believers) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) during his fatal ailment said, "Order Abu Bakr to lead the
people in prayer." I said, "If Abu Bakr stood at your place (in prayers, the people will not be able to
hear him because of his weeping, so order `Umar to lead the people in prayer." He again said, "Order
Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer " Then I said to Hafsa, "Will you say (to the Prophet), 'If Abu
Bakr stood at your place, the people will not be able to hear him be cause of his weeping, so order
`Umar to lead the people in prayer?" Hafsa did so, whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You are like the
companions of Joseph (See Qur'an, 12:30-32). Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Hafsa
then said to me, "I have never received any good from you!"

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi:
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، قَالَ جَاءَ عُوَيْمِرٌ إِلَى عَاصِمِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلاً وَجَدَ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلاً فَيَقْتُلُهُ، أَتَقْتُلُونَهُ بِهِ سَلْ لِي يَا عَاصِمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَسَأَلَهُ فَكَرِهَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَسَائِلَ وَعَابَ، فَرَجَعَ عَاصِمٌ فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَرِهَ الْمَسَائِلَ فَقَالَ عُوَيْمِرٌ وَاللَّهِ لآتِيَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَجَاءَ وَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى الْقُرْآنَ خَلْفَ عَاصِمٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ " قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيكُمْ قُرْآنًا ". فَدَعَا بِهِمَا فَتَقَدَّمَا فَتَلاَعَنَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ عُوَيْمِرٌ كَذَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُهَا. فَفَارَقَهَا وَلَمْ يَأْمُرْهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِفِرَاقِهَا، فَجَرَتِ السُّنَّةُ فِي الْمُتَلاَعِنَيْنِ. وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " انْظُرُوهَا فَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَحْمَرَ قَصِيرًا مِثْلَ وَحَرَةٍ فَلاَ أُرَاهُ إِلاَّ قَدْ كَذَبَ، وَإِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَسْحَمَ أَعْيَنَ ذَا أَلْيَتَيْنِ فَلاَ أَحْسِبُ إِلاَّ قَدْ صَدَقَ عَلَيْهَا ". فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى الأَمْرِ الْمَكْرُوهِ.
'Uwaimir Al-`Ajlani came to `Asim bin `Adi and said, "If a man found another man with his wife and
killed him, would you sentence the husband to death (in Qisas,) i.e., equality in punishment)? O
`Asim! Please ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about this matter on my behalf." `Asim asked the Prophet (ﷺ) but the
Prophet disliked the question and disapproved of it. `Asim returned and informed 'Uwaimir that the
Prophet disliked that type of question. 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will go (personally) to the Prophet."
'Uwaimir came to the Prophet (ﷺ) when Allah had already revealed Qur'anic Verses (in that respect), after
`Asim had left (the Prophet (ﷺ) ). So the Prophet (ﷺ) said to 'Uwaimir, "Allah has revealed Qur'anic Verses
regarding you and your wife." The Prophet (ﷺ) then called for them, and they came and carried out the
order of Lian.
Then 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Now if I kept her with me, I would be accused of telling a
lie." So 'Uwaimir divorced her although the Prophet (ﷺ) did not order him to do so. Later on this practice
of divorcing became the tradition of couples involved in a case of Li'an. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the
people). "Wait for her! If she delivers a red short (small) child like a Wahra (a short red animal). then
I will be of the opinion that he ('Uwaimir) has told a lie but if she delivered a black big-eyed one with
big buttocks, then I will be of the opinion that he has told the truth about her." 'Ultimately she gave
birth to a child that proved the accusation. (See Hadith No. 269, Vol. 6)

I proceeded till I entered upon `Umar (and while I was sitting there), his gate-keeper Yarfa came to
him and said, " `Uthman, `Abdur-Rahman, Az-Zubair and Sa`d ask your permission to come in."
`Umar allowed them. So they entered, greeted, and sat down. (After a while the gatekeeper came) and
said, "Shall I admit `Ali and `Abbas?'' `Umar allowed them to enter. Al-`Abbas said "O Chief of the
believers! Judge between me and the oppressor (`Ali)." Then there was a dispute (regarding the
property of Bani Nadir) between them (`Abbas and `Ali). `Uthman and his companions said, "O Chief
of the Believers! Judge between them and relieve one from the other." `Umar said, "Be patient!
beseech you by Allah, with Whose permission the Heaven and the Earth Exist! Do you know that
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Our property is not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be given in
charity,' and by this Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) meant himself?" On that the group said, "He verily said so."
`Umar then faced `Ali and `Abbas and said, "I beseech you both by Allah, do you both know that
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said so?" They both replied, "Yes". `Umar then said, "Now I am talking to you about
this matter (in detail) . Allah favored Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) with some of this wealth which He did not give
to anybody else, as Allah said: 'What Allah bestowed as Fai (Booty on His Apostle for which you
made no expedition... ' (59.6)
So that property was totally meant for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), yet he did not collect it and ignore you, nor did
he withhold it with your exclusion, but he gave it to you and distributed it among you till this much of
it was left behind, and the Prophet, used to spend of this as the yearly expenditures of his family and
then take what remained of it and spent it as he did with (other) Allah's wealth. The Prophet (ﷺ) did so
during all his lifetime, and I beseech you by Allah, do you know that?" They replied, "Yes." `Umar
then addressed `Ali and `Abbas, saying, "I beseech you both by Allah, do you know that?" Both of
them replied, "Yes." `Umar added, "Then Allah took His Apostle unto Him. Abu Bakr then said 'I am
the successor of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)' and took over all the Prophet's property and disposed of it in the
same way as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to do, and you were present then." Then he turned to `Ali and
`Abbas and said, "You both claim that Abu Bakr did so-and-so in managing the property, but Allah
knows that Abu Bakr was honest, righteous, intelligent, and a follower of what is right in managing it.
Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him, 'I said: I am the successor of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr.' So
I took over the property for two years and managed it in the same way as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and Abu
Bakr used to do. Then you both (`Ali and `Abbas) came to me and asked for the same thing! (O
`Abbas! You came to me to ask me for your share from nephew's property; and this (`Ali) came to me
asking for his wives share from her father's property, and I said to you both, 'If you wish, I will place
it in your custody on condition that you both will manage it in the same way as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
Abu Bakr did and as I have been doing since I took charge of managing it; otherwise, do not speak to
me anymore about it.'
Then you both said, 'Give it to us on that (condition).' So I gave it to you on that condition. Now I
beseech you by Allah, did I not give it to them on that condition?" The group (whom he had been
addressing) replied, "Yes." `Umar then addressed `Abbas and `Ali saying, "I beseech you both by
Allah, didn't I give you all that property on that condition?" They said, "Yes." `Umar then said, "Are
you now seeking a verdict from me other than that? By Him with Whose Permission the Heaven and
the Earth exists I will not give any verdict other than that till the Hour is established; and if you both
are unable to manage this property, then you can hand it back to me, and I will be sufficient for it on
your behalf." (See, Hadith No. 326, Vol. 4)
I said to Anas, "Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) make Medina a sanctuary?" He replied, "Yes, (Medina is a
sanctuary from such-and-such place to such-and-such place. It is forbidden to cut its trees, and
whoever innovates an heresy in it or commits a sin therein, will incur the curse of Allah, the angels,
and all the people." Then Musa bin Anas told me that Anas added, "..... or gives refuge to such an
heretic or a sinner..."
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Allah will not deprive you of knowledge after he has given it to you, but
it will be taken away through the death of the religious learned men with their knowledge. Then there
will remain ignorant people who, when consulted, will give verdicts according to their opinions
whereby they will mislead others and go astray."
I asked Abu Wail, "Did you witness the battle of Siffin between `Ali and Muawiya?" He said, "Yes,"
and added, "Then I heard Sahl bin Hunaif saying, 'O people! Blame your personal opinions in your
religion. No doubt, I remember myself on the day of Abi Jandal; if I had the power to refuse the order
of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I would have refused it.
We have never put our swords on our shoulders to get involved in a situation that might have been
horrible for us, but those swords brought us to victory and peace, except this present situation.' " Abu
Wail said, "I witnessed the battle of Siffin, and how nasty Siffin was!"

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ فَجَاءَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُنِي وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ، فَأَتَانِي وَقَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَىَّ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَبَّ وَضُوءَهُ عَلَىَّ فَأَفَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَقُلْتُ أَىْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي قَالَ فَمَا أَجَابَنِي بِشَىْءٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ.
I fell ill, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr came to visit me on foot. The Prophet (ﷺ) came to me while I was
unconscious. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed ablution and poured the Remaining water of his ablution over
me whereupon I became conscious and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! How should I spend my wealth? Or
how should I deal with my wealth?" But the Prophet (ﷺ) did not give me any reply till the Verse of the
laws of inheritance was revealed.
A woman came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Men (only) benefit by your teachings,
so please devote to us from (some of) your time, a day on which we may come to you so that you may
teach us of what Allah has taught you." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Gather on such-and-such a day at suchand-
such a place." They gathered and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to them and taught them of what Allah
had taught him. He then said, "No woman among you who has lost her three children (died) but that
they will screen her from the Fire." A woman among them said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If she lost two
children?" She repeated her question twice, whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Even two, even two, even
two!" (See Hadith No. 341, Vol. 2)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A group of my follower swill remain predominant (victorious) till Allah's Order
(the Hour) comes upon them while they are still predominant (victorious).
I heard Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan delivering a sermon. He said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "If Allah
wants to do a favor to somebody, He bestows on him, the gift of understanding the Qur'an and Sunna.
I am but a distributor, and Allah is the Giver. The state of this nation will remain good till the Hour is

When the (following) Verse was revealed to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ): 'Say: He has power to send torment on
you from above,'..(6.65) he said, "O Allah! I seek refuge with Your Face (from that punishment)."
And when this was revealed: '..or from beneath your feet.' (6.65) he said, "O Allah! I seek refuge with
Your Face (from that)." And when this Verse was revealed: '..or to cover you with confusion in partystrife,
and make you to taste the violence of one another,'...(6.65) he said: "These two warnings are
easier (than the previous ones).
A bedouin came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "My wife has delivered a black boy, and I suspect that he
is not my child." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him, "Have you got camels?" The bedouin said, "Yes." The
Prophet said, "What color are they?" The bedouin said, "They are red." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Are any of
them Grey?" He said, "There are Grey ones among them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whence do you think
this color came to them?" The bedouin said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! It resulted from hereditary
disposition." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "And this (i.e., your child) has inherited his color from his ancestors."
The Prophet (ﷺ) did not allow him to deny his paternity of the child.
A woman came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "My mother vowed to perform the Hajj but she died before
performing it. Should I perform the Hajj on her behalf?" He said, "Yes! Perform the Hajj on her
behalf. See, if your mother had been in debt, would you have paid her debt?" She said, "Yes." He said,
"So you should pay what is for Him as Allah has more right that one should fulfill one's obligations to
Him. "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not wish to be like anybody except in two cases: The case of a man whom
Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and that of a man whom Allah has given
religious wisdom (i.e., Qur'an and Sunna) and he gives his verdicts according to it and teaches it." (to
others i.e., religious knowledge of Qur'an and Sunna (Prophet's Traditions)). "

`Umar bin Al-Khattab asked (the people) about the Imlas of a woman, i.e., a woman who has an
abortion because of having been beaten on her `Abdomen, saying, "Who among you has heard
anything about it from the Prophet?" I said, "I did.'' He said, "What is that?" I said, "I heard the
Prophet saying, "Its Diya (blood money) is either a male or a female slave.' " `Umar said, "Do not
leave till you present witness in support of your statement." So I went out, and found Muhammad bin
Maslama. I brought him, and he bore witness with me that he had heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Its Diya
(blood money) is either a male slave or a female slave."

A bedouin gave the Pledge of allegiance for embracing Islam to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and then he got an attack of fever in Medina and came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ): and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Cancel my pledge." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) refused to do so. The bedouin came to him again and said, "Cancel my pledge," but he refused again, and then again, the bedouin came to him and said, "Cancel my pledge," and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) refused.

I said, 'Do not do so, for the season (of Hajj) gathers the riffraff mob who will form the majority of your audience, and I am afraid that they will not understand (the meaning of) your saying properly and may spread (an incorrect statement) everywhere. You should wait till we reach Medina, the place of migration and the place of the Sunna (the Prophet's Traditions). There you will meet the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from the Muhajirin and the Ansar who will understand your statement and place it in its proper position' 'Umar said, 'By Allah, I shall do so the first time I stand (to address the people) in Medina.' When we reached Medina, 'Umar (in a Friday Khutba-sermon) said, "No doubt, Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed to him the Book (Quran), and among what was revealed, was the Verse of Ar-Rajm (stoning adulterers to death).'"

Ibn `Abbas was asked, "Did you offer the Id prayer with the Prophet?" He said, "Yes, had it not been

`Aisha said to `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, "Bury me with my female companions (i.e. the wives of the

sanctified (just for being buried there).''
Narrated Hisham's father: `Umar sent a message to `Aisha, saying, "Will you allow me to be buried
with my two companions (the Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr) ?" She said, "Yes, by Allah." though it was her
habit that if a man from among the companions (of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) sent her a message asking her to
allow him to be buried there, she would say, "No, by Allah, I will never give permission to anyone to
be buried with them."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to perform the `Asr prayer and then one could reach the `Awali (a place in the

without saying anything to him. While the Prophet (ﷺ) was leaving, `Ali heard him striking his thigh (with
his hand) and saying, "But man is quarrelsome more than anything else." (18.54)

While we were in the mosque, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out and said, "Let us proceed to the Jews." So we
went out with him till we came to Bait-al-Midras. The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up there and called them, saying,
"O assembly of Jews! Surrender to Allah (embrace Islam) and you will be safe!" They said, "You
have conveyed Allah's message, O Aba-al-Qasim" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said to them, "That is what I
want; embrace Islam and you will be safe." They said, "You have conveyed the message, O Aba-al-
Qasim." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said to them, "That is what I want," and repeated his words for the third
time and added, "Know that the earth is for Allah and I want to exile you from this land, so whoever
among you has property he should sell it, otherwise, know that the land is for Allah and His Apostle."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Noah will be brought (before Allah) on the Day of Resurrection, and will be
asked, 'Did you convey the message of Allah?" He will reply, 'Yes, O Lord.' And then Noah's nation
will be asked, 'Did he (Noah) convey Allah's message to you?' They will reply, 'No warner came to
us.' Then Noah will be asked, 'Who are your witnesses?' He will reply. '(My witnesses are)
Muhammad and his followers.' Thereupon you (Muslims) will be brought and you will bear witness."
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited: 'And thus We have made of you (Muslims) a just and the best nation, that
you might be witness over the nations, and the Apostle a witness over you.' (2.143)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent the brother of the tribe of Bani Adi Al-Ansari as governor of Khaibar. Then the
man returned, bringing Janib (a good kind of date). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked him, "Are all the dates of
Khaibar like that?" He replied, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We take one Sa' of these (good)
dates for two Sas of mixed dates." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said, "Do not do so. You should either take
one Sa of this (kind) for one Sa' of the other; or sell one kind and then buy with its price the other kind
(of dates), and you should do the same in weighing."
That he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "If a judge gives a verdict according to the best of his
knowledge and his verdict is correct (i.e. agrees with Allah and His Apostle's verdict) he will receive a
double reward, and if he gives a verdict according to the best of his knowledge and his verdict is
wrong, (i.e. against that of Allah and His Apostle) even then he will get a reward ."
Abu Musa asked permission to enter upon `Umar, but seeing that he was busy, he went away. `Umar
then said, "Didn't I hear the voice of `Abdullah bin Qais? Allow him to come in." He was called in and
`Umar said to him, "What made you do what you did." He replied, "We have been instructed thus by
the Prophet" `Umar said, "Bring proof (witness) for this, other wise I will do so-and-so to you." Then
`Abdullah bin Qais went to a gathering of the Ansar who then said, "None but the youngest of us will
give the witness for it." So Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri got up and said, "We used to be instructed thus (by
the Prophet)." `Umar said, "This tradition of the Prophet (ﷺ) remained hidden from me. Business in the
market kept me busy."

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنَ الأَعْرَجِ، يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يُكْثِرُ الْحَدِيثَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاللَّهُ الْمَوْعِدُ، إِنِّي كُنْتُ امْرَأً مِسْكِينًا أَلْزَمُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى مِلْءِ بَطْنِي، وَكَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الصَّفْقُ بِالأَسْوَاقِ، وَكَانَتِ الأَنْصَارُ يَشْغَلُهُمُ الْقِيَامُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ، فَشَهِدْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَقَالَ
" مَنْ يَبْسُطْ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى أَقْضِيَ مَقَالَتِي ثُمَّ يَقْبِضْهُ، فَلَنْ يَنْسَى شَيْئًا سَمِعَهُ مِنِّي ". فَبَسَطْتُ بُرْدَةً كَانَتْ عَلَىَّ، فَوَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا نَسِيتُ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ.
Abu Huraira said, "You people claim that Abu Huraira narrates many narrations of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
(Anyhow) with Allah will be our appointment. I was a poor man, and used to stick to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
contented with what will fill my stomach, and the Muhajirin (emigrants) used to be busy trading in the
markets, and the Ansar used to be busy looking after their properties. One-day I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
saying, 'Who will spread his Rida' (a garment covering the upper part of the body) till I finished my
speech and then fold it, (i.e. wrap it over your body), in which case he will never forget anything he
had heard from me." So I spread my garment which I was wearing; and by Him Who sent Muhammad
with the Truth, ever since, I have never forgotten whatever I heard from him (the Prophet)" (See,

Chapter 23: If the Prophet (saws) did not disapprove of something - كتاب الاعتصام بالكتاب والسنة
Narrated Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir:
حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ أَنَّ ابْنَ الصَّائِدِ الدَّجَّالُ، قُلْتُ تَحْلِفُ بِاللَّهِ. قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ يَحْلِفُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
I saw Jabir bin `Abdullah swearing by Allah that Ibn Sayyad was the Dajjal. I said to Jabir, "How can
you swear by Allah?" Jabir said, "I have heard `Umar swearing by Allah regarding this matter in the
presence of the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) did not disapprove of it."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Horses may be used for three purposes: For a man they may be a source of
reward (in the Hereafter); for another, a means of protection; and for another, a source of sin. The man
for whom they are a source of reward, is the one who keeps them for Allah's Cause and ties them with
long ropes and lets them graze in a pasture or garden. Whatever those long ropes allow them to eat of
that pasture or garden, will be written as good deeds for him and if they break their ropes and run one
or two rounds, then all their footsteps and dung will be written as good deeds for him, and if they pass
a river and drink from it though he has had no intention of watering them, even then, that will be
written as good deeds for him. So such horses are a source of reward for that man. For the man who
keeps horses for his livelihood in order not to ask others for help or beg his bread, and at the same
time he does not forget Allah's right of what he earns through them and of their backs (that he presents
it to be used in Allah's Cause), such horses are a shelter for him (from poverty). For the man who
keeps them just out of pride and for showing off, they are a source of sin." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was
asked about donkeys. He said, "Allah has not revealed anything to me regarding them except this
comprehensive Verse:
"Then anyone who has done good, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it, and any
one who has done evil, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it." (99.7-8)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Clean yourself with it." Then I knew what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.

Um Hufaid bint Al-Harith bin Hazn presented the Prophet (ﷺ) with some butter, dried yoghurt (curd milk)
and mastigures as a gift. The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked for a meal (mastigures etc. to be put) and it was eaten
over his table cloth, but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not eat of it, as he had aversion to it. But if it had been illegal
to eat, it would not have been eaten over his table cloth nor would he have ordered that (mastigures
meat) to be eaten.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever has eaten garlic or onion, should keep away from us, or should keep
away from our mosque and should stay at home." Ibn Wahb said, "Once a plate full of cooked
vegetables was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) at Badr. Detecting a bad smell from it, he asked about the dish
and was informed of the kinds of vegetables in contained. He then said, "Bring it near," and so it was
brought near to one of his companions who was with him. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw it, he disliked
eating it and said (to his companion), "Eat, for I talk in secret to ones whom you do not talk to."
A lady came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and she talked to him about something, and he gave her some order.
She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If I should not find you?" He said, "If you should not find me, then go to
Abu Bakr." Ibrahim bin Sa`d said, "As if she meant the death (of the Prophet).
Narrated Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman that he heard Mu'awiya talking to a group of people from Quraish at Al-Madina, and on mentioning Ka'b Al-Ashbar, he said, "He was one of the most truthful of those who used to talk about the people of the Scripture, yet we used to detect certain faults in his information."
The people of the Book used to read the Torah in Hebrew and then explain it in Arabic to the
Muslims. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to the Muslims). "Do not believe the people of the Book, nor
disbelieve them, but say, 'We believe in Allah and whatever is revealed to us, and whatever is
revealed to you.' "
Ibn `Abbas said, "Why do you ask the people of the scripture about anything while your Book
(Qur'an) which has been revealed to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) is newer and the latest? You read it pure,
undistorted and unchanged, and Allah has told you that the people of the scripture (Jews and
Christians) changed their scripture and distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and
said, 'It is from Allah,' to sell it for a little gain. Does not the knowledge which has come to you
prevent you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never seen any man from them
asking you regarding what has been revealed to you!"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Recite (and study) the Qur'an as long as you are in agreement as to its
interpretation and meanings, but when you have differences regarding its interpretation and meanings,
then you should stop reciting it (for the time being.) (See Hadith No 581, Vol. 6)

When the time of the death of the Prophet (ﷺ) approached while there were some men in the house, and
among them was `Umar bin Al-Khatttab, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Come near let me write for you a writing
after which you will never go astray." `Umar said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) is seriously ill, and you have the
Qur'an, so Allah's Book is sufficient for us." The people in the house differed and disputed. Some of
them said, "Come near so that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) may write for you a writing after which you will not go
astray," while some of them said what `Umar said. When they made much noise and differed greatly
before the Prophet, he said to them, "Go away and leave me." Ibn `Abbas used to say, "It was a great
disaster that their difference and noise prevented Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from writing that writing for them.

حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، فِي أُنَاسٍ مَعَهُ قَالَ أَهْلَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْحَجِّ خَالِصًا لَيْسَ مَعَهُ عُمْرَةٌ ـ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ ـ فَقَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم صُبْحَ رَابِعَةٍ مَضَتْ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا أَمَرَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ نَحِلَّ وَقَالَ " أَحِلُّوا وَأَصِيبُوا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ ". قَالَ عَطَاءٌ قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَلَمْ يَعْزِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَكِنْ أَحَلَّهُنَّ لَهُمْ فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّا نَقُولُ لَمَّا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ عَرَفَةَ إِلاَّ خَمْسٌ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَحِلَّ إِلَى نِسَائِنَا فَنَأْتِي عَرَفَةَ تَقْطُرُ مَذَاكِيرُنَا الْمَذْىَ قَالَ وَيَقُولُ جَابِرٌ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَحَرَّكَهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " قَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي أَتْقَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَصْدَقُكُمْ وَأَبَرُّكُمْ وَلَوْلاَ هَدْيِي لَحَلَلْتُ كَمَا تَحِلُّونَ فَحِلُّوا فَلَوِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُ مَا أَهْدَيْتُ ". فَحَلَلْنَا وَسَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا.
I heard Jabir bin `Abdullah in a gathering saying, "We, the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) assumed
the state of Ihram to perform only Hajj without `Umra." Jabir added, "The Prophet (ﷺ) arrived (at Mecca)
on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. And when we arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to finish the state
of Ihram, saying, "Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual relation)." Jabir added, "The
Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made that legal for us. Then he heard that
we were saying, "When there remains only five days between us and the Day of `Arafat he orders us
to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to `Arafat with our male
organs dribbling with semen?' (Jabir pointed out with his hand illustrating what he was saying).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up and said, 'You (People) know that I am the most Allah-fearing, the most
truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hadi with
me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so finish your Ihram. If I had formerly known
what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me.' So we finished our Ihram
and listened to the Prophet (ﷺ) and obeyed him." (See Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)

Chapter 27: Something forbidden by the Prophet (saws) is legally prohibited - كتاب الاعتصام بالكتاب والسنة
Narrated `Abdullah Al Muzam:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" صَلُّوا قَبْلَ صَلاَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ ـ قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ ـ لِمَنْ شَاءَ ". كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَهَا النَّاسُ سُنَّةً.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Perform (an optional) prayer before Maghrib prayer." (He repeated it thrice) and
the third time he said, "Whoever wants to offer it can do so," lest the people should take it as a Sunna
(tradition). (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 2)
After the slanderers had given a forged statement against her, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called `Ali bin Abi Talib
and Usama bin Zaid when the Divine Inspiration was delayed. He wanted to ask them and consult
them about the question of divorcing me. Usama gave his evidence that was based on what he knew
about my innocence, but `Ali said, "Allah has not put restrictions on you and there are many women
other than her. Furthermore you may ask the slave girl who will tell you the truth." So the Prophet (ﷺ)
asked Barira (my salve girl), "Have you seen anything that may arouse your suspicion?" She replied,
"I have not seen anything more than that she is a little girl who sleeps, leaving the dough of her family
(unguarded) that the domestic goats come and eat it." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) stood on the pulpit and said,
"O Muslims! Who will help me against the man who has harmed me by slandering my wife? By
Allah, I know nothing about my family except good." The narrator added: Then the Prophet (ﷺ)
mentioned the innocence of `Aisha. (See Hadith No. 274, Vol. 6)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) addressed the people, and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said, "What do you
suggest me regarding those people who are abusing my wife? I have never known anything bad about
her." The sub-narrator, `Urwa, said: When `Aisha was told of the slander, she said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Will you allow me to go to my parents' home?" He allowed her and sent a slave along with
her. An Ansari man said, "Subhanaka! It is not right for us to speak about this. Subhanaka! This is a
great lie!"
When the Prophet (ﷺ) sent Mu`adh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are going to a nation from the people
of the Scripture, so let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the Tauhid of Allah. If they
learn that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be offered in one day and one
night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Zakat of their properties and it is to
be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. And if they agree to that, then take from
them Zakat but avoid the best property of the people."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Mu`adh! Do you know what Allah's Right upon His slaves is?" I said, "Allah
and His Apostle know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "To worship Him (Allah) Alone and to join none in
worship with Him (Allah). Do you know what their right upon Him is?" I replied, "Allah and His
Apostle know best." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Not to punish them (if they do so).

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي صَعْصَعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَمِعَ رَجُلاً، يَقْرَأُ {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ} يُرَدِّدُهَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَذَكَرَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ، وَكَأَنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَتَقَالُّهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَعْدِلُ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ ". زَادَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَخِي، قَتَادَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
A man heard another man reciting (in the prayers): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allah, the One."
(112.1) And he recited it repeatedly. When it was morning, he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and informed him
about that as if he considered that the recitation of that Sura by itself was not enough. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the Qur'an."

The Prophet (ﷺ) sent (an army unit) under the command of a man who used to lead his companions in the
prayers and would finish his recitation with (the Sura 112): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allah, the
One." ' (112.1) When they returned (from the battle), they mentioned that to the Prophet. He said (to
them), "Ask him why he does so." They asked him and he said, "I do so because it mentions the
qualities of the Beneficent and I love to recite it (in my prayer)." The Prophet; said (to them), "Tell
him that Allah loves him."

Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَسُولُ إِحْدَى بَنَاتِهِ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى ابْنِهَا فِي الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " ارْجِعْ فَأَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّ لِلَّهِ مَا أَخَذَ، وَلَهُ مَا أَعْطَى، وَكُلُّ شَىْءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى، فَمُرْهَا فَلْتَصْبِرْ وَلْتَحْتَسِبْ ". فَأَعَادَتِ الرَّسُولَ أَنَّهَا أَقْسَمَتْ لَتَأْتِيَنَّهَا، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَامَ مَعَهُ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ، فَدُفِعَ الصَّبِيُّ إِلَيْهِ وَنَفْسُهُ تَقَعْقَعُ كَأَنَّهَا فِي شَنٍّ فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ " هَذِهِ رَحْمَةٌ جَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِ عِبَادِهِ، وَإِنَّمَا يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الرُّحَمَاءَ ".
We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) when suddenly there came to him a messenger from one of his daughters
who was asking him to come and see her son who was dying. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the messenger),
"Go back and tell her that whatever Allah takes is His, and whatever He gives is His, and everything
with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world). So order her to be patient and hope for Allah's
reward." But she sent the messenger to the Prophet (ﷺ) again, swearing that he should come to her. So the
Prophet got up, and so did Sa`d bin 'Ubada and Mu`adh bin Jabal (and went to her). When the child
was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) his breath was disturbed in his chest as if it were in a water skin. On that
the eyes of the Prophet (ﷺ) became flooded with tears, whereupon Sa`d said to him, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
What is this?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This is mercy which Allah has put in the heart of His slaves, and
Allah bestows His mercy only on those of His slaves who are merciful (to others)."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None is more patient than Allah against the harmful and annoying words He hears
(from the people): They ascribe children to Him, yet He bestows upon them health and provision .
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The keys of the unseen are five and none knows them but Allah: (1) None knows
(the sex) what is in the womb, but Allah: (2) None knows what will happen tomorrow, but Allah; (3)
None knows when it will rain, but Allah; (4) None knows where he will die, but Allah (knows that);
(5) and none knows when the Hour will be established, but Allah."

`Aisha said, "If anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen his Lord, he is a liar, for Allah says: 'No
vision can grasp Him.' (6.103) And if anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen the Unseen, he is a
liar, for Allah says: "None has the knowledge of the Unseen but Allah."

" إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّلاَمُ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ".
We used to pray behind the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to say: "As-Salamu 'Al-Allah. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah
himself is As-Salam (Name of Allah), so you should say: 'at-Tahiyatu lil-lahi was-sala-watu wattaiyibatu,
as-salamu `alaika aiyyuha-n-nabiyyu wa rahmatu-l-lahi wa barakatuhu, as-salamu `alaina
wa `ala `ibadi-l-lahi as-salihin. Ashhadu an la ilaha il-lallah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan
`abduhu wa rasuluhu."'
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "On the Day of Resurrection Allah will hold the whole earth and fold the heaven
with His right hand and say, 'I am the King: where are the kings of the earth?" '
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to say, "I seek refuge (with YOU) by Your 'Izzat, None has the right to be
worshipped but You Who does not die while the Jinns and the human beings die."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(The people will be thrown into Hell ( Fire) and it will keep on saying, 'Is there any
more?' till the Lord of the worlds puts His Foot over it, whereupon its different sides will come close
to each other, and it will say, 'Qad! Qad! (enough! enough!) By Your 'Izzat (Honor and Power) and
YOUR KARAM (Generosity)!' Paradise will remain spacious enough to accommodate more people
until Allah will create some more people and let them dwell in the superfluous space of Paradise. "
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to invoke Allah at night, saying, "O Allah: All the
Praises are for You: You are the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth.
All the Praises are for You; You are the Maintainer of the Heaven and
the Earth and whatever is in them. All the Praises are for You; You
are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. Your Word is the Truth,
and Your Promise is the Truth, and the Meeting with You is the Truth,
and Paradise is the Truth, and the (Hell) Fire is the Truth, and the
Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender myself to You, and I believe
in You and I depend upon You, and I repent to You and with You (Your
evidences) I stand against my opponents, and to you I leave the
judgment (for those who refuse my message). O Allah! Forgive me my
sins that I did in the past or will do in the future, and also the
sins I did in secret or in public. You are my only God (Whom I
worship) and there is no other God for me (i.e. I worship none but
You)."
Narrated Sufyan:
(regarding the above narration) that the Prophet (ﷺ) added, "You are the
Truth, and Your Word is the Truth."
We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey, and whenever we ascended a high place, we used to say,
"Allahu Akbar." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Don't trouble yourselves too much! You are not calling a deaf or
an absent person, but you are calling One Who Hears, Sees, and is very near." Then he came to me
while I was saying in my heart, "La hawla wala quwwatta illa billah (There is neither might nor power
but with Allah)." He said, to me, "O `Abdullah bin Qais! Say, 'La hawla wala quwwata illa billah
(There is neither might nor power but with Allah), for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or said,
"Shall I tell you of it?"

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فِي صَلاَتِي. قَالَ
" قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْمًا كَثِيرًا، وَلاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ مَغْفِرَةً، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ ".
Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said to the Prophet (ﷺ) "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Teach me an invocation with which I
may invoke Allah in my prayers." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Say: O Allah! I have wronged my soul very
much (oppressed myself), and none forgives the sins but You; so please bestow Your Forgiveness
upon me. No doubt, You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
As-Salami: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to teach his companions to perform the prayer of Istikhara for each
and every matter just as he used to teach them the Suras from the Qur'an He used to say, "If anyone of
you intends to do some thing, he should offer a two rak`at prayer other than the compulsory prayers,
and after finishing it, he should say: O Allah! I consult You, for You have all knowledge, and appeal
to You to support me with Your Power and ask for Your Bounty, for You are able to do things while I
am not, and You know while I do not; and You are the Knower of the Unseen. O Allah If You know It
this matter (name your matter) is good for me both at present and in the future, (or in my religion), in
my this life and in the Hereafter, then fulfill it for me and make it easy for me, and then bestow Your
Blessings on me in that matter. O Allah! If You know that this matter is not good for me in my
religion, in my this life and in my coming Hereafter (or at present or in the future), then divert me
from it and choose for me what is good wherever it may be, and make me be pleased with it." (See

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ أَهْلَهُ فَقَالَ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ، اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ، وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا. فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ يُقَدَّرْ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَدٌ فِي ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَضُرُّهُ شَيْطَانٌ أَبَدًا ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If anyone of you, when intending to have a sexual relation (sleep) with his wife,
says: Bismillah, Allahumma jannibna ashShaitan, wa Jannib ash-Shaitana ma razaqtana, Satan would
never harm that child, should it be ordained that they will have one. (Because of that sleep).
I asked the Prophet, "I send off (for a game) my trained hunting dogs; (what is your verdict
concerning the game they hunt?" He said, "If you send off your trained hunting dogs and mention the
Name of Allah, then, if they catch some game, eat (thereof). And if you hit the game with a mi'rad (a
hunting tool) and it wounds it, you can eat (it).
The people said to the Prophet (ﷺ) , "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Here are people who have recently embraced
Islam and they bring meat, and we do not know whether they had mentioned Allah's Name while
slaughtering the animals or not." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You should mention Allah's Name and eat."

Narrated Anas:
حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ ضَحَّى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِكَبْشَيْنِ، يُسَمِّي وَيُكَبِّرُ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) slaughtered two rams as sacrifice and mentioned Allah's Name and said, "Allahu-Akbar"
while slaughtering).
That he witnessed the Prophet (ﷺ) on the Day of Nahr. The Prophet (ﷺ) offered prayer and then delivered a
sermon saying, "Whoever slaughtered his sacrifice before offering prayer, should slaughter another
animal in place of the first; and whoever has not yet slaughtered any, should slaughter a sacrifice and
mention Allah's Name while doing so."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent ten persons to bring the enemy's secrets and Khubaib Al-Ansari was one of them.
'Ubaidullah bin 'Iyad told me that the daughter of Al-Harith told him that when they gathered (to kill
Khubaib Al Ansari) he asked for a razor to clean his pubic region, and when they had taken him
outside the sanctuary of Mecca in order to kill him, he said in verse, "I don't care if I am killed as a
Muslim, on any side (of my body) I may be killed in Allah's Cause; for that is for the sake of Allah's
very Self; and if He will, He will bestow His Blessings upon the torn pieces of my body." Then Ibn
Al-Harith killed him, and the Prophet (ﷺ) informed his companions of the death of those (ten men) on the
very day they were killed.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is none having a greater sense of Ghira than Allah, and for that reason He
has forbidden shameful deeds and sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) And there is none who likes to
be praised more than Allah does." (See Hadith No. 147, Vol. 7)

That during the battle with Bani Al-Mustaliq they (Muslims) captured some females and intended to
have sexual relation with them without impregnating them. So they asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about coitus
interrupt us. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "It is better that you should not do it, for Allah has written whom He is
going to create till the Day of Resurrection." Qaza'a said, "I heard Abu Sa`id saying that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said, 'No soul is ordained to be created but Allah will create it."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection in the same way (as they
are gathered in this life), and they will say, 'Let us ask someone to intercede for us with our Lord that
He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Then they will go to Adam and say, 'O Adam! Don't you
see the people (people's condition)? Allah created you with His Own Hands and ordered His angels to
prostrate before you, and taught you the names of all the things. Please intercede for us with our Lord
so that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking'
and mention to them the mistakes he had committed, and add, "But you d better go to Noah as he was
the first Apostle sent by Allah to the people of the Earth.' They will go to Noah who will reply, 'I am
not fit for this undertaking,' and mention the mistake which he made, and add, 'But you'd better go to
Abraham, Khalil Ar-Rahman.'
They will go to Abraham who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and mention to them the
mistakes he made, and add, 'But you'd better go to Moses, a slave whom Allah gave the Torah and to
whom He spoke directly' They will go to Moses who will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and
mention to them the mistakes he made, and add, 'You'd better go to Jesus, Allah's slave and His
Apostle and His Word (Be: And it was) and a soul created by Him.' They will go to Jesus who will
say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, but you'd better go to Muhammad whose sins of the past and the
future had been forgiven (by Allah).' So they will come to me and I will ask the permission of my
Lord, and I will be permitted (to present myself) before Him. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in
(prostration) before Him and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then it will
be said to me, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you
will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then raise
my head and praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede.
Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit whom I will admit
into Paradise.
I will come back again, and when I see my Lord (again), I will fall down in prostration before Him,
and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad!
Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request);
and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain praises
which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind
of people) and will fix a limit to whom I will admit into Paradise, I will return again, and when I see
my Lord, I will fall down (in prostration) and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes,
and then He will say, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask,
for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will
then praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will
allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit to whom I will admit into
Paradise. I will come back and say, 'O my Lord! None remains in Hell (Fire) but those whom Qur'an
has imprisoned therein and for whom eternity in Hell (Fire) has become inevitable.' "
The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "There will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has
in his heart good equal to the weight of a barley grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire)
everyone who says: ' La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a wheat grain.
Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart
good equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant).

said, 'O `Imran! Follow your she-camel for it has run away!" So I set out seeking it, and behold, it was
beyond the mirage! By Allah, I wished that it (my she-camel) had gone but that I had not left (the
gathering). "

Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" إِنَّ يَمِينَ اللَّهِ مَلأَى لاَ يَغِيضُهَا نَفَقَةٌ سَحَّاءُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ، أَرَأَيْتُمْ مَا أَنْفَقَ مُنْذُ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْقُصْ مَا فِي يَمِينِهِ، وَعَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَبِيَدِهِ الأُخْرَى الْفَيْضُ ـ أَوِ الْقَبْضُ ـ يَرْفَعُ وَيَخْفِضُ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Right (Hand) of Allah Is full, and (Its fullness) is not affected by the
continuous spending night and day. Do you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and
the Earth? Yet all that has not decreased what is in His Right Hand. His Throne is over the water and
in His other Hand is the Bounty or the Power to bring about death, and He raises some people and
brings others down." (See Hadith No. 508)

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ يَشْكُو فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " اتَّقِ اللَّهَ، وَأَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ ". قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَوْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم كَاتِمًا شَيْئًا لَكَتَمَ هَذِهِ. قَالَ فَكَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ تَفْخَرُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَقُولُ زَوَّجَكُنَّ أَهَالِيكُنَّ، وَزَوَّجَنِي اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ فَوْقِ سَبْعِ سَمَوَاتٍ. وَعَنْ ثَابِتٍ {وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ} نَزَلَتْ فِي شَأْنِ زَيْنَبَ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ.
Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet (ﷺ) complaining about his wife. The Prophet (ﷺ) kept on saying (to
him), "Be afraid of Allah and keep your wife." Aisha said, "If Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) were to conceal
anything (of the Qur'an he would have concealed this Verse." Zainab used to boast before the wives of
the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to say, "You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to
the Prophet) by Allah from over seven Heavens." And Thabit recited, "The Verse:-- 'But (O
Muhammad) you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make manifest, you did fear the
people,' (33.37) was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid bin Haritha."

حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ فِي زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ وَأَطْعَمَ عَلَيْهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ خُبْزًا وَلَحْمًا وَكَانَتْ تَفْخَرُ عَلَى نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَكَانَتْ تَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْكَحَنِي فِي السَّمَاءِ.
The Verse of Al-Hijab (veiling of women) was revealed in connection with Zainab bint Jahsh. (On the
day of her marriage with him) the Prophet (ﷺ) gave a wedding banquet with bread and meat; and she used
to boast before other wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to say, "Allah married me (to the Prophet (ﷺ) in the
Heavens."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and His Apostle offers prayers perfectly and fasts (the
month of) Ramadan then it is incumbent upon Allah to admit him into Paradise, whether he emigrates
for Allah's cause or stays in the land where he was born." They (the companions of the Prophet) said,
"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Should we not inform the people of that?" He said, "There are one-hundred
degrees in Paradise which Allah has prepared for those who carry on Jihad in His Cause. The distance
between every two degrees is like the distance between the sky and the Earth, so if you ask Allah for
anything, ask Him for the Firdaus, for it is the last part of Paradise and the highest part of Paradise,
and at its top there is the Throne of Beneficent, and from it gush forth the rivers of Paradise."
I entered the mosque while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting there. When the sun had set, the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"O Abu Dharr! Do you know where this (sun) goes?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." He
said, "It goes and asks permission to prostrate, and it is allowed, and (one day) it, as if being ordered
to return whence it came, then it will rise from the west." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited, "That: "And the
sun runs on its fixed course (for a term decreed)," (36.38) as it is recited by `Abdullah.
Abu Bakr sent for me, so I collected the Qur'an till I found the last part of Surat-at-Tauba with Abi
Khuza`ima Al-Ansari and did not find it with anybody else. (The Verses are): -- 'Verily, there has
come to you an Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves..(till the end of Surat Bara'a) (i.e., at-
Tauba).' (9.128-129)

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" يَتَعَاقَبُونَ فِيكُمْ مَلاَئِكَةٌ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَلاَئِكَةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ، وَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ وَصَلاَةِ الْفَجْرِ، ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ الَّذِينَ بَاتُوا فِيكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ وَهْوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكُمْ فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ تَرَكْتُمْ عِبَادِي فَيَقُولُونَ تَرَكْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ وَأَتَيْنَاهُمْ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "(A group of) angels stay with you at night and
(another group of) angels by daytime, and both groups gather at the
time of the 'Asr and Fajr prayers. Then those angels who have stayed
with you overnight, ascend (to Heaven) and Allah asks them (about you)
---- and He knows everything about you. "In what state did you leave
My slaves?' The angels reply, 'When we left them, they were praying,
and when we reached them they were praying.' "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If somebody gives in charity something equal to
a date from his honestly earned money ----for nothing ascends to Allah
except good---- then Allah will take it in His Right (Hand) and bring
it up for its owner as anyone of you brings up a baby horse, till it
becomes like a mountain." Abu Huraira said: The Prophet. said,
"Nothing ascends to Allah except good."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to say at the time of difficulty, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,
the Majestic, the Most Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the
Tremendous Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the Heavens and the

حَدَّثَنَا قَبِيصَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ ـ أَوْ أَبِي نُعْمٍ شَكَّ قَبِيصَةُ ـ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ بُعِثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِذُهَيْبَةٍ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ أَرْبَعَةٍ. وَحَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نُعْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ بَعَثَ عَلِيٌّ وَهْوَ بِالْيَمَنِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِذُهَيْبَةٍ فِي تُرْبَتِهَا، فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ الأَقْرَعِ بْنِ حَابِسٍ الْحَنْظَلِيِّ ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي مُجَاشِعٍ، وَبَيْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ الْفَزَارِيِّ، وَبَيْنَ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ عُلاَثَةَ الْعَامِرِيِّ ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي كِلاَبٍ، وَبَيْنَ زَيْدِ الْخَيْلِ الطَّائِيِّ ثُمَّ أَحَدِ بَنِي نَبْهَانَ، فَتَغَضَّبَتْ قُرَيْشٌ وَالأَنْصَارُ فَقَالُوا يُعْطِيهِ صَنَادِيدَ أَهْلِ نَجْدٍ وَيَدَعُنَا قَالَ " إِنَّمَا أَتَأَلَّفُهُمْ ". فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ غَائِرُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ، نَاتِئُ الْجَبِينِ، كَثُّ اللِّحْيَةِ، مُشْرِفُ الْوَجْنَتَيْنِ، مَحْلُوقُ الرَّأْسِ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَمَنْ يُطِيعُ اللَّهَ إِذَا عَصَيْتُهُ فَيَأْمَنِّي عَلَى أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ، وَلاَ تَأْمَنُونِي ". فَسَأَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ ـ قَتْلَهُ أُرَاهُ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ ـ فَمَنَعَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ مِنْ ضِئْضِئِ هَذَا قَوْمًا يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لاَ يُجَاوِزُ حَنَاجِرَهُمْ، يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الإِسْلاَمِ مُرُوقَ السَّهْمِ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ، يَقْتُلُونَ أَهْلَ الإِسْلاَمِ وَيَدَعُونَ أَهْلَ الأَوْثَانِ، لَئِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ لأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ قَتْلَ عَادٍ ".
When `Ali was in Yemen, he sent some gold in its ore to the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) distributed it
among Al-Aqra' bin H`Abis Al-Hanzali who belonged to Bani Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari,
'Alqama bin 'Ulatha Al-`Amiri, who belonged to the Bani Kilab tribe and Zaid AI-Khail at-Ta'i who
belonged to Bani Nabhan. So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, "He gives to the
chiefs of Najd and leaves us!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I just wanted to attract and unite their hearts (make
them firm in Islam)." Then there came a man with sunken eyes, bulging forehead, thick beard, fat
raised cheeks, and clean-shaven head, and said, "O Muhammad! Be afraid of Allah! " The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Allah). He trusts me over the people of the earth,
but you do not trust me?" A man from the people (present then), who, I think, was Khalid bin Al-
Walid, asked for permission to kill him, but the Prophet (ﷺ) prevented him. When the man went away, the
Prophet said, "Out of the offspring of this man, there will be people who will recite the Qur'an but it
will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out through the game,
and they will kill the Muslims and leave the idolators. Should I live till they appear, I would kill them
as the Killing of the nation of 'Ad."

Hadith 7433
Chapter 23: “The angels and the Ruh ascend to Him…” - كتاب التوحيد
Narrated Abu Dharr:
حَدَّثَنَا عَيَّاشُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنْ قَوْلِهِ {وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَهَا} قَالَ " مُسْتَقَرُّهَا تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ ".
I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding the Verse:--'And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term decreed for
it.' (36.28) He said, "Its fixed course is underneath Allah's Throne."
We were sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) and he looked at the moon on the night of the full-moon and said,
"You people will see your Lord as you see this full moon, and you will have no trouble in seeing Him,
so if you can avoid missing (through sleep or business, etc.) a prayer before sunrise (Fajr) and a prayer
before sunset (`Asr) you must do so." (See Hadith No. 529, Vol. 1)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out to us on the night of the full moon and said, "You will see your Lord on the
Day of Resurrection as you see this (full moon) and you will have no difficulty in seeing Him."
On the authority of Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night?"
They said, "No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "Do you have any
difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They said,
"No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "So you will see Him, like that.
Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection, and say,
'Whoever worshipped something (in the world) should follow (that
thing),' so, whoever worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and
whoever worshiped the moon will follow the moon, and whoever used to
worship certain (other false) deities, he will follow those deities.
And there will remain only this nation with its good people (or its
hypocrites). (The sub-narrator, Ibrahim is in doubt.) Allah will come
to them and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will (deny Him and) say, 'We
will stay here till our Lord comes, for when our Lord comes, we will
recognize Him.' So Allah will come to them in His appearance which
they know, and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our
Lord,' so they will follow Him.
Then a bridge will be laid across Hell (Fire)' I and my followers will
be the first ones to go across it and none will speak on that Day
except the Apostles. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day
will be, 'O Allah, save! Save!' In Hell (or over The Bridge) there
will be hooks like the thorns of As-Sa'dan (thorny plant). Have you
seen As-Sa'dan? " They replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "So
those hooks look like the thorns of As-Sa'dan, but none knows how big
they are except Allah. Those hooks will snap the people away according
to their deeds. Some of the people will stay in Hell (be destroyed)
because of their (evil) deeds, and some will be cut or torn by the
hooks (and fall into Hell) and some will be punished and then
relieved. When Allah has finished His Judgments among the people, He
will take whomever He will out of Hell through His Mercy. He will then
order the angels to take out of the Fire all those who used to worship
none but Allah from among those whom Allah wanted to be merciful to
and those who testified (in the world) that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah. The angels will recognize them in the Fire by
the marks of prostration (on their foreheads), for the Fire will eat
up all the human body except the mark caused by prostration as Allah
has forbidden the Fire to eat the mark of prostration. They will come
out of the (Hell) Fire, completely burnt and then the water of life
will be poured over them and they will grow under it as does a seed
that comes in the mud of the torrent.
Then Allah will finish the judgments among the people, and there will
remain one man facing the (Hell) Fire and he will be the last person
among the people of Hell to enter Paradise. He will say, 'O my Lord!
Please turn my face away from the fire because its air has hurt me and
its severe heat has burnt me.' So he will invoke Allah in the way
Allah will wish him to invoke, and then Allah will say to him, 'If I
grant you that, will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply,
'No, by Your Power, (Honor) I will not ask You for anything else.' He
will give his Lord whatever promises and covenants Allah will demand.
So Allah will turn his face away from Hell (Fire). When he will face
Paradise and will see it, he will remain quiet for as long as Allah
will wish him to remain quiet, then he will say, 'O my Lord! Bring me
near to the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say to him, 'Didn't you give
your promises and covenants that you would never ask for anything more
than what you had been given? Woe on you, O Adam's son! How
treacherous you are!' He will say, 'O my lord,' and will keep on
invoking Allah till He says to him, 'If I give what you are asking,
will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by Your
(Honor) Power, I will not ask for anything else.'
Then he will give covenants and promises to Allah and then Allah will
bring him near to the gate of Paradise. When he stands at the gate of
Paradise, Paradise will be opened and spread before him, and he will
see its splendor and pleasures whereupon he will remain quiet as long
as Allah will wish him to remain quiet, and then he will say, O my
Lord! Admit me into Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you give your
covenants and promises that you would not ask for anything more than
what you had been given?' Allah will say, 'Woe on you, O Adam's son!
How treacherous you are! '
The man will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most miserable of
Your creation,' and he will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will
laugh because of his sayings, and when Allah will laugh because of
him, He will say to him, 'Enter Paradise,' and when he will enter it,
Allah will say to him, 'Wish for anything.' So he will ask his Lord,
and he will wish for a great number of things, for Allah Himself will
remind him to wish for certain things by saying, '(Wish for)
so-and-so.' When there is nothing more to wish for, Allah will say,
'This is for you, and its equal (is for you) as well."
'Ata' bin Yazid added: Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri who was present with Abu
Huraira, did not deny whatever the latter said, but when Abu Huraira
said that Allah had said, "That is for you and its equal as well," Abu
Sa'id Al-Khudri said, "And ten times as much, O Abu Huraira!" Abu
Huraira said, "I do not remember, except his saying, 'That is for you
and its equal as well.'" Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri then said, "I testify
that I remember the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'That is for you, and ten times as
much.' ' Abu Huraira then added, "That man will be the last person of
the people of Paradise to enter Paradise."
We said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of
Resurrection?" He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun
and the moon when the sky is clear?" We said, "No." He said, "So you
will have no difficulty in seeing your Lord on that Day as you have no
difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon (in a clear sky)." The
Prophet then said, "Somebody will then announce, 'Let every nation
follow what they used to worship.' So the companions of the cross will
go with their cross, and the idolators (will go) with their idols, and
the companions of every god (false deities) (will go) with their god,
till there remain those who used to worship Allah, both the obedient
ones and the mischievous ones, and some of the people of the
Scripture. Then Hell will be presented to them as if it were a mirage.
Then it will be said to the Jews, "What did you use to worship?' They
will reply, 'We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.' It will be
said to them, 'You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son.
What do you want (now)?' They will reply, 'We want You to provide us
with water.' Then it will be said to them 'Drink,' and they will fall
down in Hell (instead). Then it will be said to the Christians, 'What
did you use to worship?'
They will reply, 'We used to worship Messiah, the son of Allah.' It
will be said, 'You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son.
What: do you want (now)?' They will say, 'We want You to provide us
with water.' It will be said to them, 'Drink,' and they will fall down
in Hell (instead). When there remain only those who used to worship
Allah (Alone), both the obedient ones and the mischievous ones, it
will be said to them, 'What keeps you here when all the people have
gone?' They will say, 'We parted with them (in the world) when we were
in greater need of them than we are today, we heard the call of one
proclaiming, 'Let every nation follow what they used to worship,' and
now we are waiting for our Lord.' Then the Almighty will come to them
in a shape other than the one which they saw the first time, and He
will say, 'I am your Lord,' and they will say, 'You are not our Lord.'
And none will speak: to Him then but the Prophets, and then it will be
said to them, 'Do you know any sign by which you can recognize Him?'
They will say. 'The Shin,' and so Allah will then uncover His Shin
whereupon every believer will prostrate before Him and there will
remain those who used to prostrate before Him just for showing off and
for gaining good reputation. These people will try to prostrate but
their backs will be rigid like one piece of a wood (and they will not
be able to prostrate). Then the bridge will be laid across Hell." We,
the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What is the
bridge?'
He said, "It is a slippery (bridge) on which there are clamps and
(Hooks like) a thorny seed that is wide at one side and narrow at the
other and has thorns with bent ends. Such a thorny seed is found in
Najd and is called As-Sa'dan. Some of the believers will cross the
bridge as quickly as the wink of an eye, some others as quick as
lightning, a strong wind, fast horses or she-camels. So some will be
safe without any harm; some will be safe after receiving some
scratches, and some will fall down into Hell (Fire). The last person
will cross by being dragged (over the bridge)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You
(Muslims) cannot be more pressing in claiming from me a right that has
been clearly proved to be yours than the believers in interceding with
Almighty for their (Muslim) brothers on that Day, when they see
themselves safe.
They will say, 'O Allah! (Save) our brothers (for they) used to pray
with us, fast with us and also do good deeds with us.' Allah will say,
'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal
to the weight of one (gold) Dinar.' Allah will forbid the Fire to burn
the faces of those sinners. They will go to them and find some of them
in Hell (Fire) up to their feet, and some up to the middle of their
legs. So they will take out those whom they will recognize and then
they will return, and Allah will say (to them), 'Go and take out (of
Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of one
half Dinar.' They will take out whomever they will recognize and
return, and then Allah will say, 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in
whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of an atom (or a
smallest ant), and so they will take out all those whom they will
recognize." Abu Sa'id said: If you do not believe me then read the
Holy Verse:--
'Surely! Allah wrongs not even of the weight of an atom (or a smallest
ant) but if there is any good (done) He doubles it.' (4.40) The
Prophet added, "Then the prophets and Angels and the believers will
intercede, and (last of all) the Almighty (Allah) will say, 'Now
remains My Intercession. He will then hold a handful of the Fire from
which He will take out some people whose bodies have been burnt, and
they will be thrown into a river at the entrance of Paradise, called
the water of life.
They will grow on its banks, as a seed carried by the torrent grows.
You have noticed how it grows beside a rock or beside a tree, and how
the side facing the sun is usually green while the side facing the
shade is white. Those people will come out (of the River of Life) like
pearls, and they will have (golden) necklaces, and then they will
enter Paradise whereupon the people of Paradise will say, 'These are
the people emancipated by the Beneficent. He has admitted them into
Paradise without them having done any good deeds and without sending
forth any good (for themselves).' Then it will be said to them, 'For
you is what you have seen and its equivalent as well.'"
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The believers will be kept (waiting) on the Day of
Resurrection so long that they will become worried and say, "Let us
ask somebody to intercede far us with our Lord so that He may relieve
us from our place.
Then they will go to Adam and say, 'You are Adam, the father of the
people. Allah created you with His Own Hand and made you reside in His
Paradise and ordered His angels to prostrate before you, and taught
you the names of all things will you intercede for us with your Lord
so that He may relieve us from this place of ours? Adam will say, 'I
am not fit for this undertaking.' He will mention his mistakes he had
committed, i.e., his eating off the tree though he had been forbidden
to do so. He will add, 'Go to Noah, the first prophet sent by Allah to
the people of the Earth.' The people will go to Noah who will say, 'I
am not fit for this undertaking' He will mention his mistake which he
had done, i.e., his asking his Lord without knowledge.' He will say
(to them), 'Go to Abraham, Khalil Ar-Rahman.' They will go to Abraham
who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. He would mention
three words by which he told a lie, and say (to them). 'Go to Moses, a
slave whom Allah gave the Torah and spoke to, directly and brought
near Him, for conversation.'
They will go to Moses who will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking. He will mention his mistake he made, i.e., killing a
person, and will say (to them), 'Go to Jesus, Allah's slave and His
Apostle, and a soul created by Him and His Word.' (Be: And it was.)
They will go to Jesus who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking
but you'd better go to Muhammad the slave whose past and future sins
have been forgiven by Allah.' So they will come to me, and I will ask
my Lord's permission to enter His House and then I will be permitted.
When I see Him I will fall down in prostration before Him, and He will
leave me (in prostration) as long as He will, and then He will say, 'O
Muhammad, lift up your head and speak, for you will be listened to,
and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted, and ask (for
anything) for it will be granted:' Then I will raise my head and
glorify my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me. Allah
will put a limit for me (to intercede for a certain type of people) I
will take them out and make them enter Paradise." (Qatada said: I
heard Anas saying that), the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I will go out and take
them out of Hell (Fire) and let them enter Paradise, and then I will
return and ask my Lord for permission to enter His House and I will be
permitted.
When I will see Him I will fall down in prostration before Him and He
will leave me in prostration as long as He will let me (in that
state), and then He will say, 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak,
for you will be listened to, and intercede, for your intercession will
be accepted, and ask, your request will be granted.' " The Prophet (ﷺ)
added, "So I will raise my head and glorify and praise Him as He has
taught me. Then I will intercede and He will put a limit for me (to
intercede for a certain type of people). I will take them out and let
them enter Paradise." (Qatada added: I heard Anas saying that) the
Prophet said, 'I will go out and take them out of Hell (Fire) and let
them enter Paradise, and I will return for the third time and will ask
my Lord for permission to enter His house, and I will be allowed to
enter.
When I see Him, I will fall down in prostration before Him, and will
remain in prostration as long as He will, and then He will say, 'Raise
your head, O Muhammad, and speak, for you will be listened to, and
intercede, for your intercession will be accepted, and ask, for your
request will be granted.' So I will raise my head and praise Allah as
He has taught me and then I will intercede and He will put a limit for
me (to intercede for a certain type of people). I will take them out
and let them enter Paradise." (Qatada said: I heard Anas saying that)
the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "So I will go out and take them out of Hell (Fire)
and let them enter Paradise, till none will remain in the Fire except
those whom Quran will imprison (i.e., those who are destined for
eternal life in the fire)." The narrator then recited the Verse:-- "It
may be that your Lord will raise you to a Station of Praise and
Glory.' (17.79) The narrator added: This is the Station of Praise
and Glory which Allah has promised to your Prophet.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a tent and said to them, "Be patient till you
meet Allah and His Apostle, and I will be on the lake-Tank (Al-Kauthar).
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) offered his Tahajjud prayer, he would say, "O Allah, our Lord! All the praises
are for You; You are the Keeper (Establisher or the One Who looks after) of the Heavens and the
Earth. All the Praises are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is
therein. You are the Truth, and Your saying is the Truth, and Your promise is the Truth, and the
meeting with You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth, and the (Hell) Fire is the Truth. O Allah! I
surrender myself to You, and believe in You, and I put my trust in You (solely depend upon). And to
You I complain of my opponents and with Your Evidence I argue. So please forgive the sins which I
have done in the past or I will do in the future, and also those (sins) which I did in secret or in public,
and that which You know better than I. None has the right to be worshipped but You."

Narrated `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، وَجَامِعُ بْنُ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنِ اقْتَطَعَ مَالَ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِيَمِينٍ كَاذِبَةٍ، لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ ". قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِصْدَاقَهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلاً أُولَئِكَ لاَ خَلاَقَ لَهُمْ فِي الآخِرَةِ وَلاَ يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ} الآيَةَ.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever takes the property of a Muslim by taking a false oath, will meet Allah
Who will be angry with him." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited the Verse:-- 'Verily those who purchase a
small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter,
neither will Allah speak to them, nor look at them.' (3.77)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(There are) three (types of persons to whom) Allah will neither speak to them on
the Day of Resurrections, nor look at them (They are):--(1) a man who takes a false oath that he has
been offered for a commodity a price greater than what he has actually been offered; (2) and a man
who takes a false oath after the `Asr (prayer) in order to grab the property of a Muslim through it; (3)
and a man who forbids others to use the remaining superfluous water. To such a man Allah will say on
the Day of Resurrection, 'Today I withhold My Blessings from you as you withheld the superfluous
part of that (water) which your hands did not create.' "
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Time has come back to its original state which it had when Allah created the
Heavens and the Earth, the year is twelve months, of which four are sacred; (and out of these four)
three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab
Mudar which is between Jumad (Ath-Tham) and Sha'ban." The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked us, "Which month
is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better." He kept quiet so long that we thought he
might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't it Dhul-Hijja?" We said, "Yes." He asked "What
town is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.' Then he kept quiet so long that we
thought he might call it by another name. He then said, "Isn't it the (forbidden) town (Mecca)?" We
said, "Yes." He asked, "What is the day today?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.
Then he kept quiet so long that we thought that he might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't it
the Day of An-Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifices)?" We said, "Yes." Then he said, "Your blood (lives),
your properties," (the sub narrator Muhammad, said: I think he also said): "..and your honor) are as
sacred to one another like the sanctity of this Day of yours, in this town of yours, in this month of
yours.
You shall meet your Lord and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Don't go astray after me by
striking the necks of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform it to those
who are absent for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of
the present audience." Whenever the sub-narrator Muhammad mentioned that statement, he would
say, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said the truth.") And then the Prophet (ﷺ) added, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's
Message to you! No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you?"

A son of one of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) was dying, so she sent a person to call the Prophet. He
sent (her a message), "What ever Allah takes is for Him, and whatever He gives is for Him, and
everything has a limited fixed term (in this world) so she should be patient and hope for Allah's
reward." She then sent for him again, swearing that he should come. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up, and so did
Mu`adh bin Jabal, Ubai bin Ka`b and 'Ubada bin As-Samit. When he entered (the house), they gave
the child to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while its breath was disturbed in his chest. (The sub-narrator said: I think
he said, "...as if it was a water skin.") Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) started weeping whereupon Sa`d bin 'Ubada
said, "Do you weep?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are
merciful (to others).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Paradise and Hell (Fire) quarrelled in the presence of their Lord. Paradise said, 'O
Lord! What is wrong with me that only the poor and humble people enter me ?' Hell (Fire) said, I have
been favored with the arrogant people.' So Allah said to Paradise, 'You are My Mercy,' and said to
Hell, 'You are My Punishment which I inflict upon whom I wish, and I shall fill both of you.'" The
Prophet added, "As for Paradise, (it will be filled with good people) because Allah does not wrong any
of His created things, and He creates for Hell (Fire) whomever He will, and they will be thrown into
it, and it will say thrice, 'Is there any more, till Allah (will put) His Foot over it and it will become full
and its sides will come close to each other and it will say, 'Qat! Qat! Qat! (Enough! Enough! Enough!)

" لَمَّا قَضَى اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ كَتَبَ عِنْدَهُ فَوْقَ عَرْشِهِ، إِنَّ رَحْمَتِي سَبَقَتْ غَضَبِي ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When Allah created the creations, He wrote with Him on His Throne: 'My
Mercy has preceded My Anger."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) the true and truly inspired, narrated to us, "The creation of everyone of you starts with
the process of collecting the material for his body within forty days and forty nights in the womb of
his mother. Then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period (40 days) and then he becomes
like a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then an angel is sent to him (by Allah) and the angel is
allowed (ordered) to write four things; his livelihood, his (date of) death, his deeds, and whether he
will be a wretched one or a blessed one (in the Hereafter) and then the soul is breathed into him. So
one of you may do (good) deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise so much that there is nothing
except a cubit between him and Paradise but then what has been written for him decides his behavior
and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of Hell (Fire) and (ultimately) enters Hell
(Fire); and one of you may do (evil) deeds characteristic of the people of Hell (Fire) so much so that
there is nothing except a cubit between him and Hell (Fire), then what has been written for him

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Gabriel, what prevents you. from visiting us more often than you do?" Then this
Verse was revealed:--'And we angels descend not but by Command of your Lord. To Him belongs
what is before us and what is behind us..' (19.64) So this was the answer to Muhammad.
While I was walking with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in one of the fields of Medina and he was walking leaning
on a stick, he passed a group of Jews. Some of them said to the others, "Ask him (the Prophet) about
the spirit." Others said, "Do not ask him." But they asked him and he stood leaning on the stick and I
was standing behind him and I thought that he was being divinely inspired. Then he said, "They ask
you concerning the spirit say: The spirit, its knowledge is with My Lord. And of knowledge you (O
men!) have been given only a little." ...(17.85) On that some of the Jews said to the others, "Didn't we
tell you not to ask?"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah guarantees to the person who carries out Jihad for His Cause and nothing
compelled him to go out but the Jihad in His Cause, and belief in His Words, that He will either admit
him into Paradise or return him with his reward or the booty he has earned to his residence from
where he went out." (See Hadith No. 555).
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "A man fights for pride and haughtiness another fights for
bravery, and another fights for showing off; which of these (cases) is in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "The one who fights that Allah's Word (Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause." (See

" لاَ يَزَالُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمْ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ ".
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Some people from my followers will continue to be victorious over others
till Allah's Order (The Hour) is established." (See Hadith No. 414)
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "A group of my followers will keep on following Allah's Laws strictly and
they will not be harmed by those who will disbelieve them or stand against them till Allah's Order
(The Hour) will come while they will be in that state."
The Prophet (ﷺ) stood before Musailama (the liar) who was sitting with his companions then, and said to
him, "If you ask me for this piece (of palm-leaf stalk), even then I would not give it to you. You
cannot avoid what Allah has ordained for you, and if you turn away from Islam, Allah will surely ruin
you! "
While I was walking in company with the Prophet (ﷺ) in one of the fields of Medina, the Prophet (ﷺ) was
reclining on a palm leave stalk which he carried with him. We passed by a group of Jews. Some of
them said to the others, "Ask him about the spirit." The others said, "Do not ask him, lest he would
say something that you hate." Some of them said, "We will ask him." So a man from among them
stood up and said, 'O Abal-Qasim! What is the spirit?" The Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet and I knew that he was
being divinely inspired. Then he said: "They ask you concerning the Spirit, Say: The Spirit; its
knowledge is with my Lord. And of knowledge you (mankind) have been given only a little." (17.85)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah guarantees (the person who carries out Jihad in His Cause and nothing
compelled him to go out but Jihad in His Cause and the belief in His Word) that He will either admit
him into Paradise (Martyrdom) or return him with reward or booty he has earned to his residence from
where he went out."

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" إِذَا دَعَوْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاعْزِمُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ، وَلاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَعْطِنِي، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ مُسْتَكْرِهَ لَهُ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whenever anyone of you invoke Allah for something, he should be firm in his
asking, and he should not say: 'If You wish, give me...' for none can compel Allah to do something
against His Will."

Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ،. وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، أَنَّ حُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ـ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم طَرَقَهُ وَفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَيْلَةً فَقَالَ لَهُمْ " أَلاَ تُصَلُّونَ ". قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا أَنْفُسُنَا بِيَدِ اللَّهِ، فَإِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنَا بَعَثَنَا، فَانْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ، وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَىَّ شَيْئًا، ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ وَهْوَ مُدْبِرٌ يَضْرِبُ فَخِذَهُ وَيَقُولُ " {وَكَانَ الإِنْسَانُ أَكْثَرَ شَىْءٍ جَدَلاً}"
That one night Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) visited him and Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said to
them, "Won 't you offer (night) prayer?.. `Ali added: I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Our souls are in the
Hand of Allah and when He Wishes to bring us to life, He does." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went away
when I said so and he did not give any reply. Then I heard him on leaving while he was striking his
thighs, saying, 'But man is, more quarrelsome than anything.' (18.54)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ خَامَةِ الزَّرْعِ، يَفِيءُ وَرَقُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَتَتْهَا الرِّيحُ تُكَفِّئُهَا، فَإِذَا سَكَنَتِ اعْتَدَلَتْ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ يُكَفَّأُ بِالْبَلاَءِ، وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ كَمَثَلِ الأَرْزَةِ صَمَّاءَ مُعْتَدِلَةً حَتَّى يَقْصِمَهَا اللَّهُ إِذَا شَاءَ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh green plant the leaves of which
move in whatever direction the wind forces them to move and when the wind becomes still, it stand
straight. Such is the similitude of the believer: He is disturbed by calamities (but is like the fresh plant
he regains his normal state soon). And the example of a disbeliever is that of a pine tree (which
remains) hard and straight till Allah cuts it down when He will." (See Hadith No. 546 and 547, Vol.
7).
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while he was standing on the pulpit, saying, "The remaining period of your
stay (on the earth) in comparison to the nations before you, is like the period between the `Asr prayer
and sunset. The people of the Torah were given the Torah and they acted upon it till midday, and then
they were worn out and were given for their labor, one Qirat each. Then the people of the Gospel were
given the Gospel and they acted upon it till the time of the `Asr prayer, and then they were worn out
and were given (for their labor), one Qirat each. Then you people were given the Qur'an and you acted
upon it till sunset and so you were given two Qirats each (double the reward of the previous nations)."
Then the people of the Torah said, 'O our Lord! These people have done a little labor (much less than
we) but have taken a greater reward.' Allah said, 'Have I withheld anything from your reward?' They
said, 'No.' Then Allah said, 'That is My Favor which I bestow on whom I wish.' "
I, along with a group of people, gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He said, "I take your
Pledge on the condition that you (1) will not join partners in worship with Allah, (2) will not steal, (3)
will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, (4) will not kill your offspring, (5) will not slander, (6) and
will not disobey me when I order you to do good. Whoever among you will abide by his pledge, his
reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits any of those sins and receives the punishment in this
world, that punishment will be an expiation for his sins and purification; but if Allah screens him, then
it will be up to Allah to punish him if He will or excuse Him, if He will."
Allah's Prophet Solomon who had sixty wives, once said, "Tonight I will have sexual relation (sleep)
with all my wives so that each of them will become pregnant and bring forth (a boy who will grow
into) a cavalier and will fight in Allah's Cause." So he slept with his wives and none of them
(conceived and) delivered (a child) except one who brought a half (body) boy (deformed). Allah's
Prophet said, "If Solomon had said; 'If Allah Will,' then each of those women would have delivered a
(would-be) cavalier to fight in Allah's Cause." (See Hadith No. 74 A, Vol. 4).

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَى أَعْرَابِيٍّ يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ " لاَ بَأْسَ عَلَيْكَ طَهُورٌ، إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ". قَالَ قَالَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ طَهُورٌ، بَلْ هِيَ حُمَّى تَفُورُ عَلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ، تُزِيرُهُ الْقُبُورَ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " فَنَعَمْ إِذًا ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered upon a sick bedouin in whom he went to visit and said to him, "Don't worry,
Tahur (i.e., your illness will be a means of cleansing of your sins), if Allah Will." The bedouin said,
"Tahur! No, but it is a fever that is burning in the body of an old man and it will make him visit his
grave." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then it is so."
When the people slept till so late that they did not offer the (morning) prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah
captured your souls (made you sleep) when He willed, and returned them (to your bodies) when He
willed." So the people got up and went to answer the call of nature, performed ablution, till the sun
had risen and it had become white, then the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and offered the prayer.
"A man from the Muslims and a man from the Jews quarrelled, and the Muslim said, "By Him Who
gave superiority to Muhammad over all the people!" The Jew said, "By Him Who gave superiority to
Moses over all the people!' On that the Muslim lifted his hand and slapped the Jew. The Jew went to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him of all that had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Do not give me superiority over Moses, for the people will fall unconscious on the Day of
Resurrection, I will be the first to regain consciousness and behold, Moses will be standing there,
holding the side of the Throne. I will not know whether he has been one of those who have fallen
unconscious and then regained consciousness before me, or if he has been one of those exempted by
Allah (from falling unconscious)." (See Hadith No. 524, Vol. 8)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Ad-Dajjal will come to Medina and find the angels guarding it. If Allah will,
neither Ad-Dajjal nor plague will be able to come near it."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "For every Prophet there is one invocation which is definitely fulfilled by Allah,
and I wish, if Allah will, to keep my that (special) invocation as to be the intercession for my
followers on the Day of Resurrection."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself (in a dream) standing by a well. I drew from
it as much water as Allah wished me to draw, and then Ibn Quhafa (Abu Bakr) took the bucket from
me and drew one or two buckets, and there was weakness in his drawing----may Allah forgive him!
Then `Umar took the bucket which turned into something like a big drum. I had never seen a powerful
man among the people working as perfectly and vigorously as he did. (He drew so much water that)
the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there. (See Hadith No.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا أَتَاهُ السَّائِلُ ـ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ جَاءَهُ السَّائِلُ ـ أَوْ صَاحِبُ الْحَاجَةِ قَالَ
" اشْفَعُوا فَلْتُؤْجَرُوا، وَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ رَسُولِهِ مَا شَاءَ ".
Whenever a beggar or a person in need of something came to the Prophet (ﷺ) , he used to say (to his
companions), "Intercede (for him) and you will be rewarded for that, and Allah will fulfill what He
will through His Apostle's tongue."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you should say: 'O Allah! Forgive me if You wish,' or 'Bestow Your
Mercy on me if You wish,' or 'Provide me with means of subsistence if You wish,' but he should be
firm in his request, for Allah does what He will and nobody can force Him (to do anything).
That he differed with Al-Hurr bin Qais bin Hisn Al-Fazari about the companion of Moses, (i.e.,
whether he was Kha,dir or not). Ubai bin Ka`b Al-Ansari passed by them and Ibn `Abbas called him
saying, 'My friend (Hur) and I have differed about Moses' Companion whom Moses asked the way to
meet. Did you hear Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) mentioning anything about him?" Ubai said, "Yes, I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "While Moses was sitting in the company of some Israelites a man came to him and
asked, 'Do you know Someone who is more learned than you (Moses)?' Moses said, 'No.' So Allah
sent the Divine inspiration to Moses:--
'Yes, Our Slave Khadir is more learned than you' Moses asked Allah how to meet him ( Khadir) So
Allah made the fish as a sign for him and it was said to him, 'When you lose the fish, go back (to the
place where you lose it) and you will meet him.' So Moses went on looking for the sign of the fish in
the sea. The boy servant of Moses (who was accompanying him) said to him, 'Do you remember
(what happened) when we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget to tell you (about) the fish.
None but Satan made me forget to tell you about it' (18.63) Moses said:
'That is what we have been seeking." Sa they went back retracing their footsteps. (18.64). So they both
found Kadir (there) and then happened what Allah mentioned about them (in the Qur'an)!' (See 18.60-
82)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If Allah wills, tomorrow we will encamp in Khaif Bani Kinana, the place where
the pagans took the oath of Kufr (disbelief) against the Prophet. He meant Al-Muhassab. (See Hadith 1589)

The Prophet (ﷺ) besieged the people of Ta'if, but he did not conquer it. He said, "Tomorrow, if Allah will,
we will return home. On this the Muslims said, "Then we return without conquering it?" He said,
'Then carry on fighting tomorrow." The next day many of them were injured. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If
Allah will, we will return home tomorrow." It seemed that statement pleased them whereupon Allah's
Apostle smiled.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When Allah ordains something on the Heaven the angels beat with their wings in
obedience to His Statement which sounds like that of a chain dragged over a rock. His Statement:
"Until when the fear is banished from their hearts, the Angels say, 'What was it that your Lord said?'
'They reply, '(He has said) the Truth. And He is the Most High, The Great. " (34.23)

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel, saying, 'Allah loves so and so, O
Gabriel love him' So Gabriel would love him and then would make an announcement in the Heavens:
'Allah has loved so and-so therefore you should love him also.' So all the dwellers of the Heavens
would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth." (See Hadith No. 66,

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There are angels coming to you in succession at night, and others during the
day, and they all gather at the time of `Asr and Fajr prayers. Then the angels who have stayed with
you overnight ascend (to the heaven) and He (Allah) asks them though He perfectly knows their
affairs. 'In what state have you left my slaves?' They say, 'When we left them, they were praying and
when we came to them they were praying.' "
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Gabriel came to me and gave me the glad tidings that anyone who died without
worshipping anything besides Allah, would enter Paradise. I asked (Gabriel), 'Even if he committed
theft, and even if he committed illegal sexual intercourse?' He said, '(Yes), even if he committed theft,
and even if he Committed illegal sexual intercourse."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O so-and-so, whenever you go to your bed (for sleeping) say, 'O Allah! I have
surrendered myself over to you and have turned my face towards You, and leave all my affairs to You
and depend on You and put my trust in You expecting Your reward and fearing Your punishment.
There is neither fleeing from You nor refuge but with You. I believe in the Book (Qur'an) which You
have revealed and in Your Prophet (Muhammad) whom You have sent.' If you then die on that night,
then you will die as a Muslim, and if you wake alive in the morning then you will receive the reward."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said on the Day of (the battle of) the Clans, "O Allah! The Revealer of the Holy Book,
The Quick Taker of Accounts! Defeat the clans and shake them."
(regarding the Verse):-- 'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) This Verse
was revealed while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was hiding himself in Mecca, and when he raised his voice while
reciting the Qur'an, the pagans would hear him and abuse the Qur'an and its Revealer and to the one
who brought it. So Allah said:--
'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) That is, 'Do not say your prayer so
loudly that the pagans can hear you, nor say it in such a low tone that your companions do not hear
you.' But seek a middle course between those (extremes), i.e., let your companions hear, but do not
relate the Qur'an loudly, so that they may learn it from you.

Chapter 35: “…They want to change Allah’s Words….” - كتاب التوحيد
Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يُؤْذِينِي ابْنُ آدَمَ، يَسُبُّ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ، بِيَدِي الأَمْرُ، أُقَلِّبُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah said: "The son of Adam hurts Me by abusing Time, for I am Time; in My
Hands are all things and I cause the revolution of night and day.' " (See Hadith No. 351, Vol. 6)
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah said: The Fast is for Me and I will give the reward for it, as he (the one who
observes the fast) leaves his sexual desire, food and drink for My Sake. Fasting is a screen (from Hell)
and there are two pleasures for a fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at
the time when he will meet his Lord. And the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better in
Allah's Sight than the smell of musk." (See Hadith No. 128, Vol. 3).
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Once while Job (Aiyub) was taking a bath in a naked state. Suddenly a great
number of gold locusts started falling upon him and he started collecting them in his clothes. His Lord
called him, 'O Job! Didn't I make you rich enough to dispense with what you see now?' Job said, 'Yes,
O Lord! But I cannot dispense with Your Blessings.'
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Every night when it is the last third of the night, our Lord, the Superior, the
Blessed, descends to the nearest heaven and says: Is there anyone to invoke Me that I may respond to
his invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone asking
My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?. " (See Hadith No. 246,Vol. 2)

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، أَنَّ الأَعْرَجَ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " نَحْنُ الآخِرُونَ السَّابِقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ". وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ " قَالَ اللَّهُ أَنْفِقْ أُنْفِقْ عَلَيْكَ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but will be the foremost on the Day of
Resurrection." The narrators of this Hadith said: Allah said (to man), 'Spend (in charity), for then I
will compensate you (generously).' "
The Prophet (ﷺ) said that Gabriel said, "Here is Khadija coming to you with a dish of food or a tumbler
containing something to drink. Convey to her a greeting from her Lord (Allah) and give her the glad
tidings that she will have a palace in Paradise built of Qasab wherein there will be neither any noise
nor any fatigue (trouble)." (See Hadith No. 168, Vol. 5)

the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, "I have prepared for My righteous slaves (such excellent things) as no
eye has ever seen, nor an ear has ever heard nor a human heart can ever think of.' "
Whenever the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the night (Tahajjud) prayer, he used to say, "O Allah! All the Praises
are for You; You are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. And all the Praises are for You; You are
the Keeper of the Heavens and the Earth. All the Praises are for You; You are the Lord of the Heavens
and the Earth and whatever is therein. You are the Truth, and Your Promise is the Truth, and Your
Speech is the Truth, and meeting You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth and Hell (Fire) is the
Truth and all the prophets are the Truth and the Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender to You, and
believe in You, and depend upon You, and repent to You, and in Your cause I fight and with Your
orders I rule. So please forgive my past and future sins and those sins which I did in secret or in
public. It is You Whom I worship, None has the right to be worshipped except You ." (See Hadith No.
329,Vol. 8)
Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab, 'Alqama bin Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah regarding the narrating of
the forged statement against `Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, when the slanderers said what they said
and Allah revealed her innocence. `Aisha said, "But by Allah, I did not think that Allah, (to confirm
my innocence), would reveal Divine Inspiration which would be recited, for I consider myself too
unimportant to be talked about by Allah through Divine Inspiration revealed for recitation, but I hoped
that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) might have a dream in which Allah would reveal my innocence. So Allah
revealed:-- 'Verily! Those who spread the slander are a gang among you...' (The ten Verses in Suratan-
Nur) (24.11-20)
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah says, 'If My slave intends to do a bad deed then (O Angels) do not write
it unless he does it; if he does it, then write it as it is, but if he refrains from doing it for My Sake, then
write it as a good deed (in his account). (On the other hand) if he intends to do a good deed, but does
not do it, then write a good deed (in his account), and if he does it, then write it for him (in his
account) as ten good deeds up to seven-hundred times.' "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah created the creation, and when He finished from His creation the Rahm
(womb) got up, and Allah said (to it). "Stop! What do you want? It said; "At this place I seek refuge
with You from all those who sever me (i.e. sever the ties of Kinship.)" Allah said: "Would you be
pleased that I will keep good relation with the one who will keep good relation with you, and I will
sever the relation with the one who will sever the relation with you. It said: 'Yes, 'O my Lord.' Allah
said (to it), 'That is for you.'' And then Abu Huraira recited the Verse:-- "Would you then if you were
given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship." (47.22)

him and throw half the ashes of his burnt body in the earth and the other half in the sea, for by Allah,
if Allah should get hold of him, He would inflict such punishment on him as He would not inflict on
anybody among the people. But Allah ordered the sea to collect what was in it (of his ashes) and
similarly ordered the earth to collect what was in it (of his ashes). Then Allah said (to the recreated
man ), 'Why did you do so?' The man replied, 'For being afraid of You, and You know it (very well).'

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "If somebody commits a sin and then says, 'O my Lord! I have sinned,
please forgive me!' and his Lord says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and
punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sins).' Then he remains without committing
any sin for a while and then again commits another sin and says, 'O my Lord, I have committed
another sin, please forgive me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives
sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sin). Then he remains without
Committing any another sin for a while and then commits another sin (for the third time) and says, 'O
my Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known that
he has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for it I therefore have forgiven My slave (his sin), he
can do whatever he likes."
The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned a man from the people of the past or those who preceded you. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said a sentence meaning: Allah had given him wealth and children. When his death approached, he
said to his sons, "What kind of father have I been to you?" They replied, "You have been a good
father." He told them that he had not presented any good deed before Allah, and if Allah should get
hold of him He would punish him.' "So look!" he added, "When I die, burn me, and when I turn into
coal, crush me, and when there comes a windy day, scatter my ashes in the wind." The Prophet (ﷺ)
added, "Then by Allah, he took a firm promise from his children to do so, and they did so. (They burnt
him after his death) and threw his ashes on a windy day. Then Allah commanded to his ashes. "Be,"
and behold! He became a man standing! Allah said, "O My slave! What made you do what you did?"
He replied, "For fear of You." Nothing saved him then but Allah's Mercy (So Allah forgave him).

Chapter 36: The Talk of the Lord عزّ وجلّ to the Prophets and others on the Day of Resurrection - كتاب التوحيد
Narrated Anas:
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ
" إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ شُفِّعْتُ، فَقُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ أَدْخِلِ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ خَرْدَلَةٌ. فَيَدْخُلُونَ، ثُمَّ أَقُولُ أَدْخِلِ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَدْنَى شَىْءٍ ". فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَصَابِعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "On the Day of Resurrection I will intercede and say, "O my Lord! Admit
into Paradise (even) those who have faith equal to a mustard seed in their hearts." Such people will
enter Paradise, and then I will say, 'O (Allah) admit into Paradise (even) those who have the least
amount of faith in their hearts." Anas then said: As if I were just now looking at the fingers of Allah's
Apostle.
We, i.e., some people from Basra gathered and went to Anas bin Malik, and we went in company with
Thabit Al-Bunnani so that he might ask him about the Hadith of Intercession on our behalf. Behold,
Anas was in his palace, and our arrival coincided with his Duha prayer. We asked permission to enter
and he admitted us while he was sitting on his bed. We said to Thabit, "Do not ask him about anything
else first but the Hadith of Intercession." He said, "O Abu Hamza! There are your brethren from Basra
coming to ask you about the Hadith of Intercession." Anas then said, "Muhammad talked to us saying,
'On the Day of Resurrection the people will surge with each other like waves, and then they will come
to Adam and say, 'Please intercede for us with your Lord.' He will say, 'I am not fit for that but you'd
better go to Abraham as he is the Khalil of the Beneficent.' They will go to Abraham and he will say,
'I am not fit for that, but you'd better go to Moses as he is the one to whom Allah spoke directly.' So
they will go to Moses and he will say, 'I am not fit for that, but you'd better go to Jesus as he is a soul
created by Allah and His Word.' (Be: And it was) they will go to Jesus and he will say, 'I am not fit for
that, but you'd better go to Muhammad.'
They would come to me and I would say, 'I am for that.' Then I will ask for my Lord's permission, and
it will be given, and then He will inspire me to praise Him with such praises as I do not know now. So
I will praise Him with those praises and will fall down, prostrate before Him. Then it will be said, 'O
Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for your will be granted
(your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my
followers! My followers!' And then it will be said, 'Go and take out of Hell (Fire) all those who have
faith in their hearts, equal to the weight of a barley grain.' I will go and do so and return to praise Him
with the same praises, and fall down (prostrate) before Him. Then it will be said, 'O Muhammad, raise
your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and
intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers! My followers!' It
will be said, 'Go and take out of it all those who have faith in their hearts equal to the weight of a
small ant or a mustard seed.' I will go and do so and return to praise Him with the same praises, and
fall down in prostration before Him. It will be said, 'O, Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for
you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your
intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers!' Then He will say, 'Go and take out
(all those) in whose hearts there is faith even to the lightest, lightest mustard seed. (Take them) out of
the Fire.' I will go and do so."'
When we left Anas, I said to some of my companions, "Let's pass by Al-Hasan who is hiding himself
in the house of Abi Khalifa and request him to tell us what Anas bin Malik has told us." So we went to
him and we greeted him and he admitted us. We said to him, "O Abu Sa`id! We came to you from
your brother Anas Bin Malik and he related to us a Hadith about the intercession the like of which I
have never heard." He said, "What is that?" Then we told him of the Hadith and said, "He stopped at
this point (of the Hadith)." He said, "What then?" We said, "He did not add anything to that." He said,
Anas related the Hadith to me twenty years ago when he was a young fellow. I don't know whether he
forgot or if he did not like to let you depend on what he might have said." We said, "O Abu Sa`id ! Let
us know that." He smiled and said, "Man was created hasty. I did not mention that, but that I wanted
to inform you of it.
Anas told me the same as he told you and said that the Prophet (ﷺ) added, 'I then return for a fourth time
and praise Him similarly and prostrate before Him me the same as he 'O Muhammad, raise your head
and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request): and intercede,
for your intercession will be accepted .' I will say, 'O Lord, allow me to intercede for whoever said,
'None has the right to be worshiped except Allah.' Then Allah will say, 'By my Power, and my
Majesty, and by My Supremacy, and by My Greatness, I will take out of Hell (Fire) whoever said:
'None has the right to be worshipped except Allah.' ''
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The person who will be the last one to enter Paradise and the last to come out of
Hell (Fire) will be a man who will come out crawling, and his Lord will say to him, 'Enter Paradise.'
He will reply, 'O Lord, Paradise is full.' Allah will give him the same order thrice, and each time the
man will give Him the same reply, i.e., 'Paradise is full.' Thereupon Allah will say (to him), 'Ten times
of the world is for you.' "
