Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When the Prophet sent Muadh 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."

them (if they do so)."

repeatedly. When it was morning, he went to the Prophet and informed
him about that as if he considered that the recitation of that Sura
by itself was not enough. Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose
Hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the Quran."

that to the Prophet. He said (to them), "Ask him why he does so."

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 again, swearing that he should
come to her. So the Prophets 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 his breath was disturbed in his chest as if it were in a
water skin. On that the eyes of the Prophet . became flooded with
tears, whereupon Sa'd said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! What is
this?" The Prophet 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)." (See Hadith No. 373, Vol. 2)

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

The Prophet 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 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)."

than I, and because of Allah's Ghira, He has made unlawful Shameful
deeds and sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) done in open and in
secret. And there is none who likes that the people should repent to
Him and beg His pardon than Allah, and for this reason He sent the

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 527
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
When 'Ali was in Yemen, he sent some gold in its ore to the Prophet.
The Prophet distributed it among Al-Aqra' bin Habis 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 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 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
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
Quran 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."
