“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.’”

Umamah Al-Bahili said:

“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.’”

“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.’”

“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)

one who never does any act of obedience (towards Allah)
and who never
omitted any act of sin.”
Chapter 35: What is hoped of the Mercy of Allah on the Day of Resurrection - كتاب الزهد
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
recited this Verse:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، - أَخُو حَزْمٍ الْقُطَعِيِّ - حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَرَأَ - أَوْ تَلاَ - هَذِهِ الآيَةَ {هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ} فَقَالَ " قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنَا أَهْلٌ أَنْ أُتَّقَى فَلاَ يُجْعَلَ مَعِي إِلَهٌ آخَرُ فَمَنِ اتَّقَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مَعِي إِلَهًا آخَرَ فَأَنَا أَهْلٌ أَنْ أَغْفِرَ لَهُ " .
قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي حَزْمٍ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الآيَةِ {هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ } قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ أَنَا أَهْلٌ أَنْ أُتَّقَى فَلاَ يُشْرَكَ بِي غَيْرِي وَأَنَا أَهْلٌ لِمَنِ اتَّقَى أَنْ يُشْرِكَ بِي أَنْ أَغْفِرَ لَهُ " .
“He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind
should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not
take
any Ilah (god) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives
(sins).”
[74:56] Then he said: “Allah says: ‘I am the One Who
deserves to be
feared, so no other god should be appointed alongside
Me. Whoever
avoids appointing another god alongside Me, I am the One
Who should
forgive him.”
Another chain reports a similar hadith.
“A man from my nation will be called before all of creation
on the Day
of Resurrection, and ninety-nine scrolls will be spread
out for him,
each one extending as far as the eye can see. Then Allah
will say: “Do
you deny anything of this?” He will say: “No, O
Lord.” He will say:
“Have My recording scribes been unfair to
you?” Then He will say:
“Apart from that, do you have any good
deeds?” The man will be
terrified and will say: “No.” (Allah)
will say: “Indeed, you have good
deeds with Us, and you will not be
treated unjustly this Day.” Then a
card will be brought out on
which is written Ash-hadu an la ilaha
illallah wa anna Muhammadan
‘abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that
none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is
His slave and Messenger).
He will say: “O Lord, what is this card
compared with these
scrolls?” He will say: “You will not be treated
unjustly.” Then
the scrolls will be placed in one side of the Balance
and the card in
the other. The scrolls will go up (i.e., be light) and
the card will
go down (i.e., will weigh heavily).”
It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا، حَدَّثَنَا عَطِيَّةُ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" إِنَّ لِي حَوْضًا مَا بَيْنَ الْكَعْبَةِ وَبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ أَبْيَضَ مِثْلَ اللَّبَنِ آنِيَتُهُ عَدَدُ النُّجُومِ وَإِنِّي لأَكْثَرُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ تَبَعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
“I
have a Cistern, (as large as the distance) between the Ka’bah
and
Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem). (It is) whiter than milk, and its
vessels
are the number of the stars. I will be the Prophet with the
most
followers on the Day of Resurrection.”
“My
Cistern is wider than the distance between Ailah and ‘Aden.
By the
One in Whose Hand is my soul, its vessels are more numerous
than the
number of stars, and it is whiter than milk and sweeter than
honey.
By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, I will drive men away from
it as
a man drives strange camels away from his cistern.” It was said:
“O
Messenger of Allah, will you recognize us?” He said: “Yes, you
will
come to me with radiant faces, hands and feet, because of the
traces
of ablution, and this is not for anyone but you.”
“Umar bin
‘Abdul-‘Aziz
sent for me and I came to him upon the riding animal
prepared for
swift mail delivery. When I came to him, he said: ‘We
have caused
you some trouble O Abu Sallam.’ He said: ‘Yes, by Allah, O
Commander of the Believers!’ He said: ‘By Allah, we did not want
to
cause you any hardship, but there is a Hadith which I have heard
that
you narrate from Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ), concerning the Cistern, and I wanted to hear it directly
from
you.’ He said: “I said: ‘Thawban, the freed slave of the
Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ), told me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “My
Cistern is (wider than) the distance between Ailah and
‘Aden. It is
whiter than milk and sweeter than honey, and its cups
are as many as
the stars in the sky. Whoever drinks from it will
never feel thirst
again. The first ones who come to drink from it
will be the poor
Muhajirin, with dirty clothes and disheveled hair,
who do not marry
refined women and for whom no doors are opened.”
‘Umar wept until his
beard became wet, then he said: ‘But I have
married refined women and
doors have been opened for me. Certainly I
will not wash the clothes
that are on my body until they become dirt,
and I will not comb my
hair until it becomes disheveled.’”
“Peace
be
upon you, abode of believing people. We will join you soon, if
Allah
wills.” Then he said: “Would that we could see our brothers.”
They said: “O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?” He
said:
“You are my Companions. My brothers are those who will come
after me.
I will reach the Cistern ahead of you.” They said: “O
Messenger of
Allah, how will you recognize those of your nation who
have not yet
come?” He said: “If a man has a horse with a blaze
on its forehead and
white feet, don’t you think that he will
recognize it among horses
that are deep black in color?” They said:
“Of course.” He said: “On
the Day of Resurrection they will
come with radiant faces, hands, and
feet, because of the traces of
ablution.” He said: “I will reach the
Cistern ahead of you.”
Then he said: “Men will be driven away from my
Cistern just as
stray camels are driven away. And I will call to them:
‘Come here!’
But it will be said: ‘They changed after you were gone,
and they
kept turning on their heels.’ So I will say: “Be off with
you!”
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ فَتَعَجَّلَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَتَهُ وَإِنِّي اخْتَبَأْتُ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لأُمَّتِي فَهِيَ نَائِلَةٌ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْهُمْ لاَ يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا " .
“Every Prophet had a prayer that was answered, and every Prophet
offered this prayer in this world. But I am saving my prayer so that
I
can intercede for my nation, and it reaches every one of them who
dies
not associating anything with Allah.”
“I
am the leader of the sons of Adam, and it is no boast. I will
be the
first one for whom the earth will be split open on the Day of
Resurrection, and it is no boast. I will be the first to intercede
and
the first whose intercession will be accepted, and it is no
boast. The
banner of praise will be in my hand on the Day of
Resurrection, and it
is no boast.”
It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَمُوتُونَ فِيهَا وَلاَ يَحْيَوْنَ وَلَكِنْ نَاسٌ أَصَابَتْهُمُ النَّارُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ أَوْ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ فَأَمَاتَتْهُمْ إِمَاتَةً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا فَحْمًا أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ ضَبَائِرَ ضَبَائِرَ فَبُثُّوا عَلَى أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقِيلَ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَنْبُتُونَ نَبَاتَ الْحِبَّةِ تَكُونُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ " . قَالَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ كَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَدْ كَانَ فِي الْبَادِيَةِ .
“As for the people of Hell, who are its people (i.e., its
permanent
residents), they will neither die nor live therein. But
there are
some people who will be punished with fire because of their
sins,
whom it will kill, then when they have become like coal,
permission
will be granted for intercession for them. They will be
brought,
group by group, and scattered on the banks of the rivers of
Paradise.
It will be said: ‘O people of Paradise, pour water on them.’
Then
they will grow like seeds carried by a flood (i.e., quickly).” A
man among the people said: It is as if the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
has been in the desert.”
It was
narrated from Abu Musa Al-Ash’ari that the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَدْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنْ نُعَيْمِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" خُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ فَاخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ لأَنَّهَا أَعَمُّ وَأَكْفَى أَتُرَوْنَهَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ لاَ وَلَكِنَّهَا لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ الْخَطَّائِينَ الْمُتَلَوِّثِينَ " .
“I was given the choice between being admitted to
Paradise,
and I chose intercession, because it is more general and
more
sufficient. Do you think it is for the pious? No, it is for the
impure sinners.”
“The believers will be gathered on the Day of Resurrection,
inspired or worried.” – Sa’eed was not sure – “And they
will say: ‘If we seek someone to intercede for us with our Lord, we
may find relief from our situation.’ So they will go to Adam and
will say: ‘You are Adam, the father of mankind. Allah created you
with His Hand and His angels prostrated to you. Intercede for us with
your Lord, that He might grant us relief from our situation.’ He
will say: ‘I am not the one,’ and he will mention to them and
complain of the sin that he committed. He will feel too shy to do
that (and will say): ‘Rather go to Nuh, for he is the first
Messenger whom Allah sent to the people of earth.’ So they will go
to him, but he will say: ‘I am not the one,’ and he will mention
of how he asked of Allah that of which he had no knowledge.* He will
feel too shy to do that (and will say): ‘Rather go to the Close
Friend of the Most Merciful, Ibrahim.’ So they will go to him and
he will say: ‘I am not the one. Rather go to Musa, a slave to whom
Allah spoke and to whom He gave the Torah.’ So they will go to him
and he will say: ‘I am not the one,’ and he will mention how he
killed a soul, not in retaliation for murder (and will say): ‘Rather
go to ‘Isa, the slave of Allah and His Messenger, the Word of Allah
and a spirit created by Him.’ So they will go to him, but he will
say: ‘I am not the one. Rather go to Muhammad, a slave whose past
and future sins Allah forgave.’ So they will come to me and I will
go with them.” – There was a similar report from Hasan who added
(the Prophet (ﷺ) said:) And I will walk between two rows of the
believers.” Then he went back to the Hadith of Anas. – And he
said: “And I will ask my Lord for permission and permission will be
given to me. When I see Him I will fall down prostrating, and I will
be left as long as Allah wills to leave me. Then it will be said:
‘Get up, O Muhammad. Speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be
given; intercede, your intercession will be accepted.’ I will
praise Him with praise that He will teach me, then I will intercede,
and a limit will be set. Then they will be admitted to Paradise, and
I will come back a second time. When I see Him I will fall down
prostrating, and I will be left as long as Allah wills to leave me.
Then it will be said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad. Speak, you will be
heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your intercession will be
accepted.’ I will praise Him with praise that He will teach me,
then I will intercede, and a limit will be set. Then they will be
admitted to Paradise, and I will come back a third time. When I see
Him I will fall down prostrating, and I will be left as long as Allah
wills to leave me. Then it will be said: ‘Get up, O Muhammad.
Speak, you will be heard; ask, you will be given; intercede, your
intercession will be accepted.’ I will praise Him with praise that
He will teach me, then I will intercede, and a limit will be set.
Then they will be admitted to Paradise, and I will come back a fourth
time and will say: ‘O Lord, there is no one left except those who
are detained by the Qur’an.’” **
Qatadah (the Tabi'ee in the chain) would narrate after this hadith that Anas (ra) said "Those who said 'La illaha illa Allah' (there is no god except Allah) and had the weight of a grain of barley in good in his heart will come out of the Fire, and those who said 'La illaha illa Allah' and had a weight of a grain of wheat in good in his heart will come out of the Fire, and those who said 'La illaha illa Allah' and had a weight of a grain of dust in good in his heart will come out of the Fire."
It was
narrated from Ubayy bin Ka’b, from his father, that the
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّقِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنِ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ كُنْتُ إِمَامَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَخَطِيبَهُمْ وَصَاحِبَ شَفَاعَتِهِمْ غَيْرَ فَخْرٍ " .
“When the Day of Resurrection comes, I
will be
the leader of the Prophets and the one who addresses them, and
the
one among them who will agree to intercede, and it is no boast.”
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Jad’a’ that he heard the
Prophet (ﷺ) say:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَذْعَاءِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ " لَيَدْخُلَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَكْثَرُ مِنْ بَنِي تَمِيمٍ " . قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سِوَاكَ قَالَ " سِوَاىَ " . قُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ .
“More than (the members of the tribe of) Banu
Tamim
will enter Paradise through the intercession of a man from
among my
nation.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, besides you?”
He said:
“Besides me.”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
‘Do you know what choice my Lord gave me on this night?’ We said:
‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘He gave me the
choice
between admitting half of my nation to Paradise and
intercession, and
I chose intercession.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, pray that we
will be among its people (the people for whom you
will intercede).’ He
said: ‘It is for every Muslim.’”
“This fire of yours is one-seventieth part of the fire of Hell.
Were it not that its heat has been reduced by water twice, you would
not have been able to benefit from it. And it is praying to Allah,
asking Allah not to return it (to its original level of heat).”
“The Fire complained to its Lord and said: ‘O Lord, parts of me
have consumed other parts.’ So He gave it two occasions to exhale,
one
in winter and one in summer. The intense cold that you feel (in
winter) is part of its severe frost (Zamharir) and the intense heat
that you feel in summer is part of its hot wind (Samum).”
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" أُوقِدَتِ النَّارُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَابْيَضَّتْ ثُمَّ أُوقِدَتْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَاحْمَرَّتْ ثُمَّ أُوقِدَتْ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ فَاسْوَدَّتْ فَهِيَ سَوْدَاءُ كَاللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ " .
“The
Hell-Fire was kindled for one thousand years and turned white. Then
it
was kindled for another thousand years and it turned red. Then it
was
kindled for another thousand years and it turned black. So it is
black
like the darkest night.”
“On the Day of Resurrection the disbeliever who lived the most
luxurious will be brought, and it will be said: ‘Dip him once in
Hell.’ So he will be dipped in it, then it will be said to him: ‘O
so-
and-so, have you every enjoyed any pleasure?’ He will say: ‘No,
I have
never enjoyed any pleasure.’ Then the believer who suffered
the most
hardship and trouble will be brought and it will be said:
‘Dip him
once in Paradise.’ So he will be dipped in it and it
will be said to
him: ‘O so-and-so, have you ever suffered any
hardship or trouble?’ He
will say: ‘I have never suffered any
hardship or trouble.’”
It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ الْمُخْتَارِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ الْعَوْفِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ قَالَ
" إِنَّ الْكَافِرَ لَيَعْظُمُ حَتَّى إِنَّ ضِرْسَهُ لأَعْظَمُ مِنْ أُحُدٍ وَفَضِيلَةُ جَسَدِهِ عَلَى ضِرْسِهِ كَفَضِيلَةِ جَسَدِ أَحَدِكُمْ عَلَى ضِرْسِهِ " .
“The disbeliever will be made huge so much so that his molar
will
be bigger than (Mount) Uhud, and the size of his body in relation
to
his molar will be like the size of the body of anyone of you in
relation to his molar.”
“I was with Abu Burdah one night, and
Harith
bin Uqaish entered upon us. Harith told us that night that the
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Among my nation are some by whose
intercession more (than the members of the tribe of) Mudar will enter
Paradise, and among my nation are some who will be made huge for the
Fire until they fill one of its corners.’”
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الرَّقَاشِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" يُرْسَلُ الْبُكَاءُ عَلَى أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَيَبْكُونَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ الدُّمُوعُ ثُمَّ يَبْكُونَ الدَّمَ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ كَهَيْئَةِ الأُخْدُودِ لَوْ أُرْسِلَتْ فِيهِ السُّفُنُ لَجَرَتْ " .
“The people of Hell will be made to weep and they will weep
until
they run out of tears. Then they will weep blood until something
like
trenches appear on their faces, and if ships were placed in them
they
would float.”
“O you who believe! Have fear of Allah as is His due, and die
not
except as Muslims. [3:102] (Then he said): ‘If a drop of Zaqqum
were to be dropped on the earth, it would ruin the livelihood of the
people of this world, so how about those who have no food other than
it (i.e. Zaqqum)?’”
‘Death will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and made to
stand
on the Sirat (the Bridge over Hell). It will be said: “O people
of
Paradise!” And they will look. Anxious and afraid lest they be
brought out of the place they are in. Then it will be said: “O
people
of Hell!” and they will look, hoping that they will be
brought out of
the place they are in. Then it will be said: “Do you
know what this
is?” They will say: “Yes, this is Death.” Then
the command will be
given for it to be slaughtered on the Sirat, and
it will be said to
both groups: “It is eternal wherever you are,
and there will never be
any death therein.”
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:
‘Paradise has one hundred grades, each of which is as big as the
distance between heaven and earth. The highest of them is Firdaws and
the best of them is Firdaws. The Throne is above Firdaws and from it
spring forth the rivers of Paradise. If you ask of Allah, ask Him for
Firdaws.’”
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said one day to
his
Companions: ‘Who will strive hard with sincerity for Paradise? For
there is nothing like Paradise. By the Lord of the Ka’bah, it is
sparkling light, sweet basil waving in the breeze, a lofty palace, a
flowing river, abundant ripe fruit, a beautiful wife and many fine
garments, in a palace of eternal abode, in ease and luxury, in
beautiful, strongly-built, lofty houses.’ They said: ‘We will
strive
heard for it, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Say: In
sha’ Allah (if
Allah wills).’ Then he mentioned Jihad and
encouraged them to engage
in it.”
“The first group to enter Paradise will enter with (faces) like
the
moon in the night when it is full. Then those who follow them will
be
shining with a light brighter than the brightest star in the sky.
They will not urinate or defecate, or blow their noses or spit. Their
combs will be of gold, their sweat will be musk, their braziers (receptacle for holding live coals for burning incense) will
be pearls and their wives will be houris. Their form will be that of
a
single man, the form of their father Adam, sixty forearm’s length
tall.’”
Another chain reports the same.
“Kauthar is a river in Paradise whose banks are of gold and its
bed
is of rubies and pearls. Its soil is more fragrant than musk, its
water is sweeter than honey and whiter than snow.”
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُمَرَ الضَّرِيرُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ شَجَرَةً يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ فِي ظِلِّهَا مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ لاَ يَقْطَعُهَا " . وَاقْرَءُوا إِنْ شِئْتُمْ {وَظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ * وَمَاءٍ مَسْكُوبٍ ) .
“In Paradise there is a tree under whose shade a rider could travel
for one hundred years and never leave it.”
"Recite, if you wish: 'And in shade long-extended (56:30).'"
“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace
of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He
said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) told me that when the
people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to
their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time
equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne
will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the
gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs
of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of
silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than
them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on
sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who
are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.”
Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’”
“He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’”
“There is no one whom Allah will admit to Paradise but Allah
will
marry him to seventy-two wives, two from houris and seventy from
his
inheritance from the people of Hell, all of whom will have
desirable
front passages and he will have a male member that never
becomes
flaccid (i.e., soft and limp).’”
“I know the last of the people of Hell who will be
brought forth from it, and the last of the people of Paradise to be
admitted to Paradise. (It is) a man who will emerge from Hell
crawling, and it will be said to him: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He
will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is
full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will come to
it and it will appear to him as if it is full. So he will say: ‘O
Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’
He will come to it and it will be made to appear to him as if it is
full. So he will say: ‘O Lord, I found it full.’ Allah will say:
‘Go and enter Paradise, for you will have the like of the world and
ten times more, or you will have ten times the like of the world.’
He will say: ‘Are You mocking me, or are You laughing at me, when
You are the Sovereign?’”
He said: "And I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) smiling so broadly that his molar teeth could be seen."
And he used to say: "This is the lowest of the people of Paradise in status."
It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
" مَنْ سَأَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَنِ اسْتَجَارَ مِنَ النَّارِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَتِ النَّارُ اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " .
“Whoever asks for Paradise, three times, Paradise will say: “O
Allah, admit him to Paradise.” And whoever asked to be saved from
Hell, three times, Hell will say: “O Allah, save him from Hell.”
“There is no one among you who does not have two abodes: An
abode
in Paradise and an abode in Hell. If he dies and enters Hell,
the
people of Paradise inherit his abode. This is what Allah says:
‘These
are indeed the inheritors.’” [23:10]
