“A Jewish man said in the
marketplace of Al-Madinah: ‘By the One Who chose Musa above all of
mankind.’ An Ansari man raised his hand and slapped him. He said:
‘How
dare you say this when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is among
us?’
Mention of that was made to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and
he said:
‘Allah says: “And the trumpet will be blown, and all who
are in the
heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away,
except him whom
Allah wills. Then it will be blown a second time, and
behold they will
be standing, looking on (waiting).” [39:68] I will
be the first one to
raise his head, and I will see Musa holding on to
one of the pillars
of the Throne, and I do not know whether he will
have raised his head
before me, or he will be one of those whom Allah
exempts. And whoever
says that I am better than Yunus bin Matta, he
is lying.”
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مِقْسَمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ
" يَأْخُذُ الْجَبَّارُ سَمَوَاتِهِ وَأَرَضِيهِ بِيَدِهِ - وَقَبَضَ يَدَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَقْبِضُهَا وَيَبْسُطُهَا - ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَنَا الْجَبَّارُ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ أَيْنَ الْجَبَّارُونَ أَيْنَ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ " . قَالَ وَيَتَمَايَلُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَتَحَرَّكُ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ شَىْءٍ مِنْهُ حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَقُولُ أَسَاقِطٌ هُوَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
“I heard the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) say on the pulpit: ‘The Compeller (Al-Jabbar) will
seize His heavens and His earths in His Hand’ – and he clenched
his
hand and started to open and close it – ‘Then He will say: “I
am the
Compeller, I am the King. Where are the tyrants? Where are the
arrogant?” And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was leaning to his
right
and his left, until I could see the pulpit shaking at the
bottom, and
I thought that it would fall along with the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ).”
‘Aishah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger
of Allah, how will the people be gathered on the Day of
Resurrection?’
He said: ‘Barefoot and naked.’ I said: ‘And
the women?’ He said: ‘And
the women.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, will we not feel
embarrassed?’ He said: ‘O ‘Aishah, the
matter will be too serious for
them to look at one another.’”
It was
narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" يُعْرَضُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ثَلاَثَ عَرَضَاتٍ فَأَمَّا عَرْضَتَانِ فَجِدَالٌ وَمَعَاذِيرُ وَأَمَّا الثَّالِثَةُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَطِيرُ الصُّحُفُ فِي الأَيْدِي فَآخِذٌ بِيَمِينِهِ وَآخِذٌ بِشِمَالِهِ " .
“The people will be presented (before Allah) three times
on
the Day of Resurrection. The first two times will be for disputes
and
excuses, and the third time will be when the scrolls (of deeds)
fly
into their hands; some will take it in the right hand and some in
the
left.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ {يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَوَاتُ } فَأَيْنَ تَكُونُ النَّاسُ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ " عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ " .
“I asked the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ): “On the Day when the earth will be changed to another earth
and
so will be the heavens.” [14:48] – where will the people be
on that
Day?’ He said: ‘On the Sirat (the Bridge across
Hell-fire).’”
“The
Sirat will be placed across Hell, on thorns like the thorns of Sa’dan
plant.* Then the people will cross it. Some will pass over safe and
sound, some will be detained, and some will fall in headfirst.”
“I hope that no
one of those who witnessed (the battle of) Badr and (Treaty)
Hudaybiyah will enter Hell, if Allah wills.” I said: “O Messenger
of Allah, doesn’t Allah say “There is not one of you but will
pass over it (Hell); this is with your Lord, a decree which must be
accomplished?” [19:71] He said: “Have you not heard that He says:
‘Then We shall save those who use to fear Allah and were dutiful to
Him. And We shall leave the wrongdoers therein (humbled) to their
knees (in Hell)?’” [19:72]
Chapter 34: Description of the Nation of Muhammad (saws) - كتاب الزهد
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الأَشْجَعِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" تَرِدُونَ عَلَىَّ غُرًّا مُحَجَّلِينَ مِنَ الْوُضُوءِ سِيمَاءُ أُمَّتِي لَيْسَ لأَحَدٍ غَيْرِهَا " .
“You will come to me with radiant faces, hands and feet from the
traces of ablution. This is the characteristic sign of my nation
which
does not belong to anyone else.”
“We were with the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) in a tent, and he said: ‘Will it not please you to be
one
quarter of the people of Paradise?’ We said: ‘Yes.’ He
said: ‘Will it
not please you to be one third of the people of
Paradise?’ We said:
‘Yes.’ He said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand
is my soul, I hope that you
will be half of the people of Paradise.
For no one will enter Paradise
but a Muslim soul, and among the
people of polytheism you are like a
white hair on the hide of a black
bull, or like a black hair on the
hide of a red bull.’”
“A
Prophet will come accompanied by two men, and a Prophet will
come
accompanied by three, and (some will come) with more or less than
that. It will be said to him: ‘Did you convey the message to your
people?’ And he will say: ‘Yes.’ Then his people will be called
and it
will be said: ‘Did he convey the message to you?’ They
will say: ‘No.’
Then it will be said: ‘Who will bear witness
for you?’ He will say:
‘Muhammad and his nation.’ So the nation
of Muhammad will be called
and it will be said: ‘Did this man
convey the message?’ They will say:
‘Yes.’ He will say: ‘How
did you know that?’ They will say: ‘Our
Prophet told us that the
Messengers had conveyed the message, and we
believed him.’ This is
what Allah says: “Thus We have made you, a just
(and the best)
nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the
Messenger
(Muhammad (ﷺ)) be a witness over you.’” [2:143]
“We came back (from a
campaign) with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: ‘By the
One
in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, there is no person who
believes
then stands firm, but he will be caused to enter Paradise. I
hope that
they will not enter it until you and those who are
righteous among
your offspring will enter it and take up your
dwelling places therein.
And my Lord has promised me that seventy
thousand of my nation will
enter Paradise without being brought to
account.’”

Abu
Umamah Al-Bahili said:
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ الأَلْهَانِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيَّ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي سُبْحَانَهُ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا لاَ حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ عَذَابَ مَعَ كُلِّ أَلْفٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا وَثَلاَثُ حَثَيَاتٍ مِنْ حَثَيَاتِ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " .
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:
‘My Lord has promised me that seventy thousand of my nation will
enter
Paradise without being brought to account or punished. With
every
thousand will be (another) seventy thousand, and three handfuls
of my
Lord, the Glorified.’”
Chapter 34: Description of the Nation of Muhammad (saws) - كتاب الزهد
It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ نَحْنُ آخِرُ الأُمَمِ وَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يُحَاسَبُ يُقَالُ أَيْنَ الأُمَّةُ الأُمِّيَّةُ وَنَبِيُّهَا فَنَحْنُ الآخِرُونَ الأَوَّلُونَ " .
“We are
the
last of the nations, and the first to be brought to account. It
will
be said: ‘Where is the unlettered nation and its Prophet?’ So we
are the last and the first.”
Chapter 34: Description of the Nation of Muhammad (saws) - كتاب الزهد
It was
narrated from Abu Burdah that his father said:
حَدَّثَنَا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ الْمُغَلِّسِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ أَبِي الْمُسَاوِرِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" إِذَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ الْخَلاَئِقَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أُذِنَ لأُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِالسُّجُودِ فَيَسْجُدُونَ لَهُ طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ يُقَالُ ارْفَعُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ قَدْ جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَكُمْ فِدَاءَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
“The Messenger
of
Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘When Allah gathers all creatures on the Day of
Resurrection, permission will be given to the nation of Muhammad to
prostrate, so they will prostrate to Him for a long time. Then it
will
be said: “Raise your heads, for a certain number of you will
go to
Hell-fire and these will be your ransom from Hell.”*
Chapter 34: Description of the Nation of Muhammad (saws) - كتاب الزهد
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا جُبَارَةُ بْنُ الْمُغَلِّسِ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" إِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّةٌ مَرْحُومَةٌ عَذَابُهَا بِأَيْدِيهَا فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ دُفِعَ إِلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَيُقَالُ هَذَا فِدَاؤُكَ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
“This nation has been granted mercy (in the Hereafter) and its
torment (in this world) is at the hands of one another. When the Day
of Resurrection comes, each Muslim man will be given a man from among
the idolaters and it will be said: ‘This is your ransom from the
Fire.’”
Chapter 35: What is hoped of the Mercy of Allah on the Day of Resurrection - كتاب الزهد
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ قَسَمَ مِنْهَا رَحْمَةً بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الْخَلاَئِقِ فَبِهَا يَتَرَاحَمُونَ وَبِهَا يَتَعَاطَفُونَ وَبِهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوَحْشُ عَلَى أَوْلاَدِهَا وَأَخَّرَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ رَحْمَةً يَرْحَمُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
“Allah
has
one hundred (degrees of) mercy, of which He has shared one between
all of creation, by virtue of which you show mercy and compassion
towards one another and the wild animals show compassion towards
their
young. And He has kept back ninety-nine (degrees of) mercy by
virtue
of which He will show mercy to His slaves on the Day of
Resurrection.”
“On the day when He created the heavens and the earth, Allah
created one hundred (degrees of) mercy, of which He placed one on
earth, by virtue of which mothers show compassion to their children
and animals as well as the birds show compassion to one another. And
He kept back ninety-nine (degrees of) mercy. When the Day of
Resurrection comes, Allah will complete this mercy.”
“The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) passed by me when I was riding a donkey, and said: ‘O Mu’adh,
do
you know what Allah’s right over His slaves is and what His
slaves’
right over Allah is?’ I said: ‘Allah and His Messenger
know best.’ He
said: ‘The right of Allah over His slaves is that
they should worship
Him and not associate anything with Him. And the
right of the slaves
over Allah, if they do that, is that He should
not punish them.’”
Chapter 35: What is hoped of the Mercy of Allah on the Day of Resurrection - كتاب الزهد
It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said:
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي بَعْضِ غَزَوَاتِهِ فَمَرَّ بِقَوْمٍ فَقَالَ مَنِ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ . وَامْرَأَةٌ تَحْصِبُ تَنُّورَهَا وَمَعَهَا ابْنٌ لَهَا فَإِذَا ارْتَفَعَ وَهَجُ التَّنُّورِ تَنَحَّتْ بِهِ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ " نَعَمْ " . قَالَتْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَرْحَمِ الرَّاحِمِينَ قَالَ " بَلَى " . قَالَتْ أَوَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَرْحَمَ بِعِبَادِهِ مِنَ الأُمِّ بِوَلَدِهَا قَالَ " بَلَى " . قَالَتْ فَإِنَّ الأُمَّ لاَ تُلْقِي وَلَدَهَا فِي النَّارِ . فَأَكَبَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَبْكِي ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ " إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُعَذِّبُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ إِلاَّ الْمَارِدَ الْمُتَمَرِّدَ الَّذِي يَتَمَرَّدُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَقُولَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ " .
“We were with the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) on one of his campaigns. He passed by some people and
said: ‘Who are these people?’ They said: ‘We are Muslims.’
There was a
woman putting wood in her oven, and a son of hers was
with her. When
the flames got higher, she moved him away. She came to
the Prophet
(ﷺ) and said: ‘Are you the Messenger of Allah?’ He
said: ‘Yes.’ She
said: ‘May my father and mother be ransomed
for you. Is not Allah the
Most Merciful of those who show mercy?’
He said: ‘Yes indeed.’ She
said: ‘Is not Allah more Merciful
than a mother to her child?’ He
said: ‘Yes indeed.’ She said:
‘A mother would not throw her child into
the fire.’ The Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) lowered his head and wept.
Then he looked up at her
and said: ‘Allah does not punish any of His
slaves except those who
are defiant and rebellious, who rebel against
Allah and refuse to
say: La ilaha illallah.’”
