Narrated Abu Dharr:
I asked the Prophet 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."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 529
Narrated Jarir:
We were sitting with the Prophet 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)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 530
Narrated Jarir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "You will definitely see your Lord with your own
eyes."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 531
Narrated Jarir:
Allah's Apostle 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."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 532c
Narrated 'Ata' bin Yazid Al-Laithi:
On the authority of Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The
Prophet said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a
full moon night?" They said, "No, O Allah's Apostle." He said, "Do
you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?"
They said, "No, O Allah's Apostle." 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 Apostle!"
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 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."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 532s
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:
We said, "O Allah's Apostle! 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 said, "O Allah's Apostle! 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 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.'"
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 532v
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet 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 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 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 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.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Whenever the Prophet 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 bin Qais:
The Prophet said, "(There will be) two Paradises of silver and all

Paradises of gold, and its utensils and whatever therein (will be of
gold), and there will be nothing to prevent the people from seeing
their Lord except the Cover of Majesty over His Face in the Paradise
of Eden (eternal bliss)."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 537
Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet 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 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)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet 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.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 539
Narrated Abu Bakra:
The Prophet 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 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 said the truth.") And then the
Prophet added, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you!
No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you?"
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 540
Narrated Usama:
A son of one of the daughters of the Prophet 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 Apostle 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 Apostle 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 Apostle
started weeping whereupon Sa'd bin 'Ubada said, "Do you weep?" The
Prophet said, "Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are
merciful (to others)."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 541
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet 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!) .

Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Some people who will be scorched by Hell (Fire)
as a punishment for sins they have committed, and then Allah will

will be called, 'Al-JahannamiyyLin' (the people of Hell)."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 543
Narrated 'Abdullah:
A Jewish Rabbi came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Muhammad! Allah
will put the Heavens on one finger and the earth on one finger, and
the trees and the rivers on one finger, and the rest of the creation
on one finger, and then will say, pointing out with His Hand, 'I am
the King.' "On that Allah's Apostle smiled and said, "No just
estimate have they made of Allah such as due to Him. (39.67)

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Once I stayed overnight at the house of (my aunt ) Maimuna while the
Prophet was with her, to see how was the night prayer of Allah s
Apostle Allah's Apostle talked to his wife for a while and then
slept. When it was the last third of the night (or part of it), the
Prophet got up and looked towards the sky and recited the Verse:--
'Verily! In the creation of the Heavens and the Earth....there are
indeed signs for the men of understanding.' (3.190)
Then He got up and performed the ablution, brushed his teeth and
offered eleven Rakat. Then Bilal pronounced the Adhan whereupon the
Prophet offered a two-Rak'at (Sunna) prayer and went out to lead the
people in Fajr (morning compulsory congregational prayer.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:
Allah's Apostle 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 decides his behavior and he starts doing (good) deeds
characteristic of the people of Paradise and ultimately) enters
Paradise." (See Hadith No. 430, Vol. 4)

to Muhammad.

Narrated 'Abdullah:
While I was walking with Allah's Apostle 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?"

he has earned to his residence from where he went out." (See Hadith
No. 555).

be superior, fights in Allah's Cause." (See Hadith No. 65, Vol. 4)

(The Hour) will come while they will be in that state."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet 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! "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 554
Narrated Ibn Mas'ud:
While I was walking in company with the Prophet in one of the fields
of Medina, the Prophet 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 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)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle 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."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 556
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle 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."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 557
Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib:
That one night Allah's Apostle visited him and Fatima, the daughter
of Allah's Apostle and said to them, "Won 't you offer (night)
prayer?.. 'Ali added: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Our souls are in
the Hand of Allah and when He Wishes to bring us to life, He does."
Then Allah's Apostle 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)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 558
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle 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).
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 559
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
I heard Allah's Apostle 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 Quran 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.' "
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 560
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:
I, along with a group of people, gave the pledge of allegiance to
Allah's Apostle. 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."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 561
Narrated Abu Huraira:
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).
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 562
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostle 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 said, "Then
it is so."
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 563
Narrated Abu Qatada:
When the people slept till so late that they did not offer the
(morning) prayer, the Prophet 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 got up and offered the prayer.
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 564
Narrated Abu Huraira:
"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 Apostle and informed him of all that
had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet 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)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 565
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle 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."
