To make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq)

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, "There are two blessings which many people lose:
(They are) Health and free time for doing good."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "O Allah! There is no life worth living except
the
life of the Hereafter, so (please) make righteous the Ansar and the

Emigrants."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi:

We were in the company of Allah's Apostle in (the battle of)
Al-Khandaq, and he was digging the trench while we were carrying
the
earth away. He looked at us and said, "O Allah! There is no life
worth
living except the life of the Hereafter, so (please) forgive the
Ansar
and the Emigrants."

Narrated Sahl:

I heard the Prophet saying, "A (small) place equal to an area
occupied
by a whip in Paradise is better than the (whole) world and whatever
is
in it; and an undertaking (journey) in the forenoon or in the
afternoon for Allah's Cause, is better than the whole world and
whatever is in it."

Narrated Mujahid:

'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle took hold of my shoulder

and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a
traveler."
The sub-narrator added: Ibn 'Umar used to say, "If you survive till

the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you
survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening,

and take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your
life
for your death."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet drew a square and then drew a line in the middle of it
and
let it extend outside the square and then drew several small lines
attached to that central line, and said, "This is the human being,
and
this, (the square) in his lease of life, encircles him from all
sides
(or has encircled him), and this (line), which is outside (the
square), is his hope, and these small lines are the calamities and
troubles (which may befall him), and if one misses him, an-other
will
snap (i.e. overtake) him, and if the other misses him, a third will

snap (i.e. overtake) him."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet drew a few lines and said, "This is (man's) hope, and
this
is the instant of his death, and while he is in this state (of
hope),
the nearer line (death) comes to Him."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Allah will not accept the excuse of any person
whose instant of death is delayed till he is sixty years of age."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The heart of an old man remains
young
in two respects, i.e., his love for the world (its wealth,
amusements
and luxuries) and his incessant hope."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said, "The son of Adam (i.e. man) grows old and so
also two (desires) grow old with him, i.e., love for wealth and (a
wish for) a long life."

Narrated 'Utban bin Malik Al-Ansari:

who was one of the men of the tribe of Bani Salim: Allah's Apostle
came to me and said, "If anybody comes on the Day of Resurrection
who
has said: La ilaha illal-lah, sincerely, with the intention to win
Allah's Pleasure, Allah will make the Hell-Fire forbidden for him."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Allah says, 'I have
nothing to give but Paradise as a reward to my believer slave, who,
if
I cause his dear friend (or relative) to die, remains patient (and
hopes for Allah's Reward)."

Narrated 'Amr bin 'Auf:

(an ally of the tribe of Bani 'Amir bin Lu'ai and one of those who
had
witnessed the battle of Badr with Allah's Apostle) Allah's Apostle
sent Abu 'Ubaida bin AlJarrah to Bahrain to collect the Jizya tax.
Allah's Apostle had concluded a peace treaty with the people of
Bahrain and appointed Al 'Ala bin Al-Hadrami as their chief; Abu
Ubaida arrived from Bahrain with the money. The Ansar heard of Abu
'Ubaida's arrival which coincided with the Fajr (morning) prayer
led
by Allah's Apostle. When the Prophet finished the prayer, they came
to
him. Allah's Apostle smiled when he saw them and said, "I think you

have heard of the arrival of Abu 'Ubaida and that he has brought
something." They replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! " He said, "Have

the good news, and hope for what will please you. By Allah, I am
not
afraid that you will become poor, but I am afraid that worldly
wealth
will be given to you in abundance as it was given to those
(nations)
before you, and you will start competing each other for it as the
previous nations competed for it, and then it will divert you (from

good) as it diverted them." '

Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir:

The Prophet went out and offered the funeral prayer for the martyrs
of
the (battle of) Uhud and then ascended the pulpit and said, "I am
your
predecessor and I am a witness against you. By Allah, I am now
looking
at my Tank-lake (Al-Kauthar) and I have been given the keys of the
treasures of the earth (or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am
not
afraid that after me you will worship others besides Allah, but I
am
afraid that you will start competing for (the pleasures of) this
world."

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:

Allah's Apostle said, "The thing I am afraid of most for your sake,
is
the worldly blessings which Allah will bring forth to you." It was
said, "What are the blessings of this world?" The Prophet said,
"The
pleasures of the world." A man said, "Can the good bring forth
evil?"
The Prophet kept quiet for a while till we thought that he was
being
inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from his
forehead and said," Where is the questioner?" That man said, "I (am

present)." Abu Sa'id added: We thanked the man when the result (of
his
question) was such. The Prophet said, "Good never brings forth but
good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit),

and all the vegetation which grows on the bank of a stream either
kills or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of it, except
the
animal that eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal

eats till its stomach is full and then it faces the sun and starts
ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and goes to eat
again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a person

earns it (the wealth) in a legal way and spends it properly, then
it
is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he
will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied."

Narrated Zahdam bin Mudarrib:

'Imran bin Husain said: The Prophet said, "The best people are my
contemporaries (i.e., the present (my) generation) and then those
who
come after them (i.e., the next generation)." Imran added: I am not

sure whether the Prophet repeated the statement twice after his
first
saying. The Prophet added, "And after them there will come people
who
will bear witness, though they will not be asked to give their
witness; and they will be treacherous and nobody will trust them,
and
they will make vows, but will not fulfill them, and fatness will
appear among them."

Narrated 'Abdullah :

The Prophet said, "The best people are those of my generation, and
then those who will come after them (the next generation), and then

those who will come after them (i.e. the next generation), and then

after them, there will come people whose witness will precede their

oaths, and whose oaths will precede their witness."

Narrated Qais:

I heard Khabbab, who had branded his abdomen with seven brands,
saying, "Had Allah's Apostle not forbidden us to invoke Allah for
death, I would have invoked Allah for death. The companions of
Muhammad have left this world without taking anything of their
reward
in it (i.e., they will have perfect reward in the Hereafter), but
we
have collected of the worldly wealth what we cannot spend but on
earth
(i.e. on building houses)."

Narrated Qais:

I came to Khabbab while he was building a wall, and he (Khabbab)
said,
"Our companions who have left this world, did not enjoy anything of

their reward therein, while we have collected after them, much
wealth
that we cannot spend but on earth (i.e., on building)."

Narrated Khabbab:

We migrated with the Prophet..(This narration is related in the
chapter of migration).

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

I brought water to Uthman bin 'Affan to perform the ablution while
he
was sitting on his seat. He performed the ablution in a perfect way

and said, "I saw the Prophet performing the ablution in this place
and
he performed it in a perfect way and said, "Whoever performs the
ablution as I have done this time and then proceeds to the mosque
and
offers a two-Rak'at prayer and then sits there (waiting for the
compulsory congregational prayers), then all his past sins will be
forgiven." The Prophet further added, "Do not be conceited
(thinking
that your sins will be forgiven because of your prayer)."

Narrated Mirdas Al-Aslami:

The Prophet said, "The righteous (pious people will depart (die) in

succession one after the other, and there will remain (on the
earth)
useless people like the useless husk of barley seeds or bad dates,
and
Allah will not

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Perish the slave of Dinar, Dirham, Qatifa (thick

soft cloth), and Khamisa (a garment), for if he is given, he is
pleased; otherwise he is dissatisfied."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

I heard the Prophet saying, "If the son of Adam (the human being)
had
two valley of money, he would wish for a third, for nothing can
fill
the belly of Adam's son except dust, and Allah forgives him who
repents to Him."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "If the son of Adam had money equal
to
a valley, then he will wish for another similar to it, for nothing
can
satisfy the eye of Adam's son except dust. And Allah forgives him
who
repents to Him." Ibn 'Abbas said: I do not know whether this saying

was quoted from the Qur'an or not. 'Ata' said, "I heard Ibn
AzZubair
saying this narration while he was on the pulpit."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:

I heard Ibn Az-Zubair who was on the pulpit at Mecca, delivering a
sermon, saying, "O men! The Prophet used to say, "If the son of
Adam
were given a valley full of gold, he would love to have a second
one;
and if he were given the second one, he would love to have a third,

for nothing fills the belly of Adam's son except dust. And Allah
forgives he who repents to Him." Ubai said, "We considered this as a

saying from the Qur'an till the Sura (beginning with) 'The mutual
rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts you..' (102.1) was
revealed."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said, "If Adam's son had a valley full of gold, he
would like to have two valleys, for nothing fills his mouth except
dust. And Allah forgives him who repents to Him."

Narrated Hakim bin Hizam:

I asked the Prophet (for some money) and he gave me, and then again
I
asked him and he gave me, and then again I asked him and he gave me

and he then said, "This wealth is (like) green and sweet (fruit),
and
whoever takes it without greed, Allah will bless it for him, but
whoever takes it with greed, Allah will not bless it for him, and
he
will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied. And the upper

(giving) hand is better than the lower (taking) hand."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "Who among you considers the wealth of his heirs
dearer to him than his own wealth?" They replied, "O Allah's
Apostle!
There is none among us but loves his own wealth more." The Prophet
said, "So his wealth is whatever he spends (in Allah's Cause)
during
his life (on good deeds) while the wealth of his heirs is whatever
he
leaves after his death."

Narrated Abu Dhar:

Once I went out at night and found Allah's Apostle walking all
alone
accompanied by nobody, and I thought that perhaps he disliked that
someone should accompany him. So I walked in the shade, away from
the
moonlight, but the Prophet looked behind and saw me and said, "Who
is
that?" I replied, "Abu Dhar, let Allah get me sacrificed for you!"
He
said, "O Abu Dhar, come here!" So I accompanied him for a while and

then he said, "The rich are in fact the poor (little rewarded) on
the
Day of Resurrection except him whom Allah gives wealth which he
gives
(in charity) to his right, left, front and back, and does good
deeds
with it. I walked with him a little longer. Then he said to me,
"Sit
down here." So he made me sit in an open space surrounded by rocks,

and said to me, "Sit here till I come back to you." He went towards

Al-Harra till I could not see him, and he stayed away for a long
period, and then I heard him saying, while he was coming, "Even if
he
had committed theft, and even if he had committed illegal sexual
intercourse?" When he came, I could not remain patient and asked
him,
"O Allah's Prophet! Let Allah get me sacrificed for you! Whom were
you
speaking to by the side of Al-Harra? I did not hear anybody
responding
to your talk." He said, "It was Gabriel who appeared to me beside
Al-Harra and said, 'Give the good news to your followers that
whoever
dies without having worshipped anything besides Allah, will enter
Paradise.' I said, 'O Gabriel! Even if he had committed theft or
committed illegal sexual intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' I said,
'Even
if he has committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?'
He
said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Even if he has committed theft or committed
illegal sexual intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' "

Narrated Abu Dhar:

While I was walking with the Prophet in the Harra of Medina, Uhud
came
in sight. The Prophet said, "O Abu Dhar!" I said, "Labbaik, O
Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "I would not like to have gold equal to this
mountain of Uhud, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar of
it
remains with me for more than three days, except something which I
will keep for repaying debts. I would have spent all of it
(distributed it) amongst Allah's Slaves like this, and like this,
and
like this." The Prophet pointed out with his hand towards his
right,
his left and his back (while illustrating it). He proceeded with
his
walk and said, "The rich are in fact the poor (little rewarded) on
the
Day of Resurrection except those who spend their wealth like this,
and
like this, and like this, to their right, left and back, but such
people are few in number." Then he said to me, "Stay at your place
and
do not leave it till I come back." Then he proceeded in the
darkness
of the night till he went out of sight, and then I heard a loud
voice,
and was afraid that something might have happened to the Prophet .1

intended to go to him, but I remembered what he had said to me,
i.e.
'Don't leave your place till I come back to you,' so I remained at
my
place till he came back to me. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I heard a

voice and I was afraid." So I mentioned the whole story to him. He
said, "Did you hear it?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "It was Gabriel

who came to me and said, 'Whoever died without joining others in
worship with Allah, will enter Paradise.' I asked (Gabriel), 'Even
if
he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?
Gabriel said, 'Yes, even if he had committed theft or committed
illegal sexual intercourse."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah Apostle said, "If I had gold equal to the mountain of Uhud,
it
would not please me that anything of it should remain with me after

three nights (i.e., I would spend all of it in Allah's Cause)
except
what I would keep for repaying debts."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Riches does not mean, having a great amount of
property, but riches is self-contentment."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'id:

A man passed by Allah's Apostle and the Prophet asked a man sitting

beside him, "What is your opinion about this (passer-by)?" He
replied,
"This (passer-by) is from the noble class of people. By Allah, if
he
should ask for a lady's hand in marriage, he ought to be given her
in
marriage, and if he intercedes for somebody, his intercession will
be
accepted. Allah's Apostle kept quiet, and then another man passed
by
and Allah's Apostle asked the same man (his companion) again, "What
is
your opinion about this (second) one?" He said, "O Allah's Apostle!

This person is one of the poor Muslims. If he should ask a lady's
hand
in marriage, no-one will accept him, and if he intercedes for
somebody, no one will accept his intercession, and if he talks,
no-one
will listen to his talk." Then Allah's Apostle said, "This (poor
man)
is better than such a large number of the first type (i.e. rich
men)
as to fill the earth."

Narrated Abu Wail:

We paid a visit to Khabbab who was sick, and he said, "We migrated
with the Prophet for Allah's Sake and our wages became due on
Allah.
Some of us died without having received anything of the wages, and
one
of them was Mus'ab bin 'Umar, who was martyred on the day of the
battle of Uhud, leaving only one sheet (to shroud him in). If we
covered his head with it, his feet became uncovered, and if we
covered
his feet with it, his head became uncovered. So the Prophet ordered
us
to cover his head with it and put some Idhkhir (a kind of grass)
over
his feet. On the other hand, some of us have had the fruits (of our

good deed) and are plucking them (in this world)."

Narrated 'Imran bin Husain:

The Prophet said, "I looked into Paradise and found that the
majority
of its dwellers were the poor people, and I looked into the (Hell)
Fire and found that the majority of its dwellers were women."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet did not eat at a table till he died, and he did not eat
a
thin nicely baked wheat bread till he died.

Narrated 'Aisha:

When the Prophet died, nothing which can be eaten by a living
creature
was left on my shelf except some barley grain. I ate of it for a
period and when I measured it, it finished.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

By Allah except Whom none has the right to- be worshipped,
(sometimes)
I used to lay (sleep) on the ground on my liver (abdomen) because
of
hunger, and (sometimes) I used to bind a stone over my belly
because
of hunger. One day I sat by the way from where they (the Prophet
and h
is companions) used to come out. When Abu Bakr passed by, I asked
him
about a Verse from Allah's Book and I asked him only that he might
satisfy my hunger, but he passed by and did not do so. Then Umar
passed by me and I asked him about a Verse from Allah's Book, and I

asked him only that he might satisfy my hunger, but he passed by
without doing so. Finally Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet ) passed by me
and
he smiled when he saw me, for he knew what was in my heart and on
my
face. He said, "O Aba Hirr (Abu Huraira)!" I replied, "Labbaik, O
Allah's Apostle!" He said to me, "Follow me." He left and I
followed
him.

Then he entered the house and I asked permission to enter and was
admitted. He found milk in a bowl and said, "From where is this
milk?"
They said, "It has been presented to you by such-and-such man (or
by
such and such woman)." He said, "O Aba Hirr!" I said, "Labbaik, O
Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Go and call the people of Suffa to me."

These people of Suffa were the guests of Islam who had no families,

nor money, nor anybody to depend upon, and whenever an object of
charity was brought to the Prophet , he would send it to them and
would not take anything from it, and whenever any present was given
to
him, he used to send some for them and take some of it for himself.

The order off the Prophet upset me, and I said to myself, "How will

this little milk be enough for the people of As-Suffa?" thought I
was
more entitled to drink from that milk in order to strengthen
myself,
but behold! The Prophet came to order me to give that milk to them.
I
wondered what will remain of that milk for me, but anyway, I could
not
but obey Allah and His Apostle so I went to the people of As-Suffa
and
called them, and they came and asked the Prophet's permission to
enter. They were admitted and took their seats in the house.

The Prophet said, "O Aba-Hirr!" I said, "Labbaik, O Allah's
Apostle!"
He said, "Take it and give it to them." So I took the bowl (of
Milk)
and started giving it to one man who would drink his fill and
return
it to me, whereupon I would give it to another man who, in his
turn,
would drink his fill and return it to me, and I would then offer it
to
another man who would drink his fill and return it to me. Finally,
after the whole group had drunk their fill, I reached the Prophet
who
took the bowl and put it on his hand, looked at me and smiled and
said. "O Aba Hirr!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle!" He
said,
"There remain you and I." I said, "You have said the truth, O
Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "Sit down and drink." I sat down and drank. He
said, "Drink," and I drank. He kept on telling me repeatedly to
drink,
till I said, "No. by Allah Who sent you with the Truth, I have no
space for it (in my stomach)." He said, "Hand it over to me." When I

gave him the bowl, he praised Allah and pronounced Allah's Name on
it
and drank the remaining milk.

Narrated Sa'd:

I was the first man among the Arabs to throw an arrow for Allah's
Cause. We used to fight in Allah's Cause while we had nothing to
eat
except the leaves of the Hubla and the Sumur trees (desert trees)
so
that we discharged excrement like that of sheep (i.e. unmixed
droppings). Today the (people of the) tribe of Bani Asad teach me
the
laws of Islam. If so, then I am lost, and all my efforts of that
hard
time had gone in vain.

Narrated 'Aisha:

The family of Muhammad had never eaten their fill of wheat bread
for
three successive days since they had migrated to Medina till the
death
of the Prophet.

Narrated 'Aisha:

The family of Muhammad did not eat two meals on one day, but one of

the two was of dates.

Narrated 'Aisha:

The bed mattress of the Prophet was made of a leather case stuffed
with palm fibres.

Narrated Qatada:

We used to go to Anas bin Malik and see his baker standing
(preparing
the bread). Anas said, "Eat. I have not known that the Prophet ever

saw a thin well-baked loaf of bread till he died, and he never saw a

roasted sheep with his eyes."

Narrated 'Aisha:

A complete month would pass by during which we would not make a
fire
(for cooking), and our food used to be only dates and water unless
we
were given a present of some meat.

Narrated 'Aisha:

that she said to Urwa, "O, the son of my sister! We used to see
three
crescents in two months, and no fire used to be made in the houses
of
Allah's Apostle (i.e. nothing used to be cooked)." 'Urwa said,
"What
used to sustain you?" 'Aisha said, "The two black things i.e. dates

and water, except that Allah's Apostle had neighbors from the Ansar

who had some milch she-camels, and they used to give the Prophet
some
milk from their house, and he used to make us drink it."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "O Allah! Give food to the family of
Muhammad."

Narrated Masruq:

I asked 'Aisha "What deed was the most beloved to the Prophet?" She

said, "The regular constant one." I said, "At what time did he use
to
get up at night (for the Tahajjud night prayer)?' She said, "He
used
to get up on hearing (the crowing of) the cock (the last third of
the
night)."

Narrated 'Aisha:

The most beloved action to Allah's Apostle was that whose doer did
it
continuously and regularly.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "The deeds of anyone of you will not save you

(from the (Hell) Fire)." They said, "Even you (will not be saved by

your deeds), O Allah's Apostle?" He said, "No, even I (will not be
saved) unless and until Allah bestows His Mercy on me. Therefore,
do
good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and worship Allah in

the forenoon and in the afternoon and during a part of the night,
and
always adopt a middle, moderate, regular course whereby you will
reach
your target (Paradise)."

Narrated 'Aisha:

Allah's Apostle said, "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and
moderately and know that your deeds will not make you enter
Paradise,
and that the most beloved deed to Allah's is the most regular and
constant even though it were little."

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet was asked, "What deeds are loved most by Allah?" He
said,
"The most regular constant deeds even though they may be few." He
added, 'Don't take upon yourselves, except the deeds which are
within
your ability."

Narrated 'Alqama:

I asked 'Aisha, mother of the believers, "O mother of the
believers!
How were the deeds of the Prophet? Did he use to do extra deeds of
worship on special days?" She said, "No, but his deeds were regular

and constant, and who among you is able to do what the Prophet was
able to do (i.e. in worshipping Allah)?"

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet said, "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and
moderately,
and receive good news because one's good deeds will not make him
enter
Paradise." They asked, "Even you, O Allah's Apostle?" He said,
"Even
I, unless and until Allah bestows His pardon and Mercy on me."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Once Allah's Apostle led us in prayer and then (after finishing it)

ascended the pulpit and pointed with his hand towards the Qibla of
the
mosque and said, "While I was leading you in prayer, both Paradise
and
Hell were displayed in front of me in the direction of this wall. I

had never seen a better thing (than Paradise) and a worse thing
(than
Hell) as I have seen today, I had never seen a better thing and a
worse thing as I have seen today."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, Verily Allah created Mercy. The day
He
created it, He made it into one hundred parts. He withheld with Him

ninety-nine parts, and sent its one part to all His creatures. Had
the
non-believer known of all the Mercy which is in the Hands of Allah,
he
would not lose hope of entering Paradise, and had the believer
known
of all the punishment which is present with Allah, he would not
consider himself safe from the Hell-Fire."

Narrated Abu Said:

Some people from the Ansar asked Allah's Apostle (to give them
something) and he gave to everyone of them, who asked him, until
all
that he had was finished. When everything was finished and he had
spent all that was in his hand, he said to them, '"(Know) that if I

have any wealth, I will not withhold it from you (to keep for
somebody
else); And (know) that he who refrains from begging others (or
doing
prohibited deeds), Allah will make him contented and not in need of

others; and he who remains patient, Allah will bestow patience upon

him, and he who is satisfied with what he has, Allah will make him
self-sufficient. And there is no gift better and vast (you may be
given) than patience."

Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba:

The Prophet used to pray so much that his feet used to become
edematous or swollen, and when he was asked as to why he prays so
much, he would say, "Shall I not be a thankful slave (to Allah)?"

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Allah's Apostle said, "Seventy thousand people of my followers will

enter Paradise without accounts, and they are those who do not
practice Ar-Ruqya and do not see an evil omen in things, and put
their
trust in their Lord.

Narrated Warrad:

(the clerk of Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba) Muawiya wrote to Al-Mughira:
"Write to me a narration you have heard from Allah's Apostle." So
Al-Mughira wrote to him, "I heard him saying the following after
each
prayer: 'La ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahu-l-mulk
wa
lahuI-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli Shai-in qadir.' He also used to
forbid
idle talk, asking too many questions (in religion), wasting money,
preventing what should be given, and asking others for something
(except in great need), being undutiful to mothers, and burying
one's
little daughters (alive)."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever can guarantee (the chastity of) what
is
between his two jaw-bones and what is between his two legs (i.e.
his
tongue and his private parts), I guarantee Paradise for him."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day
should talk what is good or keep quiet, and whoever believes in
Allah
and the Last Day should not hurt (or insult) his neighbor; and
whoever
believes in Allah and the Last Day, should entertain his guest
generously."

Narrated Abu Shuraih Al-Khuza'i:

My ears heard and my heart grasped (the statement which) the
Prophet
said, "The period for keeping one's guest is three days (and don't
forget) his reward." It was asked, "What is his reward?" He said,
"In
the first night and the day he should be given a high class quality
of
meals; and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should
entertain his guest generously; and whoever believes in Allah and
the
Last Day should talk what is good (sense) or keep quiet."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

That he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "A slave of Allah may utter a

word without thinking whether it is right or wrong, he may slip
down
in the Fire as far away a distance equal to that between the east."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet; said, "A slave (of Allah) may utter a word which
pleases
Allah without giving it much importance, and because of that Allah
will raise him to degrees (of reward): a slave (of Allah) may utter
a
word (carelessly) which displeases Allah without thinking of its
gravity and because of that he will be thrown into the Hell-Fire."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said Allah will give shade to seven (types of people)
under His Shade (on the Day of Resurrection). (one of them will be)
a
person who remembers Allah and his eyes are then flooded with
tears.

Narrated Hudhaifa:

The Prophet said, "There was a man amongst the people who had
suspicion as to the righteousness of his deeds. Therefore he said
to
his family, 'If I die, take me and burn my corpse and throw my
ashes
into the sea on a hot (or windy) day.' They did so, but Allah,
collected his particles and asked (him), What made you do what you
did?' He replied, 'The only thing that made me do it, was that I
was
afraid of You.' So Allah forgave him."

Narrated Abu Said :

The Prophet mentioned a man from the previous generation or from
the
people preceding your age whom Allah had given both wealth and
children. The Prophet said, "When the time of his death approached,
he
asked his children, 'What type of father have I been to you?' They
replied: You have been a good father. He said, 'But he (i.e. your
father) has not stored any good deeds with Allah (for the
Hereafter):
if he should face Allah, Allah will punish him. So listen, (O my
children), when I die, burn my body till I become mere coal and
then
grind it into powder, and when there is a stormy wind, throw me (my

ashes) in it.' So he took a firm promise from his children (to
follow
his instructions). And by Allah they (his sons) did
accordingly(fulfilled their promise.) Then Allah said, "Be"' and
behold! That man was standing there! Allah then said. "O my slave!
What made you do what you did?" That man said, "Fear of You." So
Allah
forgave him.

Narrated Abu Musa:

Allah's Apostle said. "My example and the example of the message
with
which Allah has sent me is like that of a man who came to some
people
and said, "I have seen with my own eyes the enemy forces, and I am a

naked warner (to you) so save yourself, save yourself! A group of
them
obeyed him and went out at night, slowly and stealthily and were
safe,
while another group did not believe him and thus the army took them
in
the morning and destroyed them."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "My example and the example of the
people is that of a man who made a fire, and when it lighted what
was
around it, Moths and other insects started falling into the fire.
The
man tried (his best) to prevent them, (from falling in the fire)
but
they overpowered him and rushed into the fire. The Prophet added:
Now,
similarly, I take hold of the knots at your waist (belts) to
prevent
you from falling into the Fire, but you insist on falling into it."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:

The Prophet said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims
with
his tongue or his hands. And a Muhajir (an emigrant) is the one who

gives up (abandons) all what Allah has forbidden."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "If you knew that which I know you would
laugh
little and weep much."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "If you knew that which I know, you would laugh
little and weep much."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "The (Hell) Fire is surrounded by all kinds
of
desires and passions, while Paradise is surrounded by all kinds of
disliked undesirable things."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "Paradise is nearer to any of you than the Shirak

(leather strap) of his shoe, and so is the (Hell) Fire.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The truest poetic verse ever said by a poet, is:

Indeed! Everything except Allah, is perishable."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "If anyone of you looked at a person who was
made superior to him in property and (in good) appearance, then he
should also look at the one who is inferior to him, and to whom he
has
been made superior."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet narrating about his Lord I'm and said, "Allah ordered
(the
appointed angels over you) that the good and the bad deeds be
written,
and He then showed (the way) how (to write). If somebody intends to
do
a good deed and he does not do it, then Allah will write for him a
full good deed (in his account with Him); and if he intends to do a

good deed and actually did it, then Allah will write for him (in
his
account) with Him (its reward equal) from ten to seven hundred
times
to many more times: and if somebody intended to do a bad deed and
he
does not do it, then Allah will write a full good deed (in his
account) with Him, and if he intended to do it (a bad deed) and
actually did it, then Allah will write one bad deed (in his
account)
."

Narrated Ghailan:

Anas said "You people do (bad) deeds (commit sins) which seem in
your
eyes as tiny (minute) than hair while we used to consider those
(very
deeds) during the life-time of the Prophet as destructive sins."

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:

A bedouin came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is
the
best of mankind!" The Prophet said, "A man who strives for Allah's
Cause with his life and property, and also a man who lives (all
alone)
in a mountain path among the mountain paths to worship his Lord and

save the people from his evil."

Narrated Abu Said:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "When honesty is lost, then wait for the
Hour."
It was asked, "How will honesty be lost, O Allah's Apostle?" He
said,
"When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait
for
the Hour."

Narrated Hudhaifa:

Allah's Apostle narrated to us two narrations, one of which I have
seen (happening) and I am waiting for the other. He narrated that
honesty was preserved in the roots of the hearts of men (in the
beginning) and then they learnt it (honesty) from the Qur'an, and
then
they learnt it from the (Prophet's) Sunna (tradition). He also told
us
about its disappearance, saying, "A man will go to sleep whereupon
honesty will be taken away from his heart, and only its trace will
remain, resembling the traces of fire. He then will sleep whereupon

the remainder of the honesty will also be taken away (from his
heart)
and its trace will resemble a blister which is raised over the
surface
of skin, when an ember touches one's foot; and in fact, this
blister
does not contain anything. So there will come a day when people
will
deal in business with each other but there will hardly be any
trustworthy persons among them. Then it will be said that in
such-and-such a tribe there is such-and-such person who is honest,
and
a man will be admired for his intelligence, good manners and
strength,
though indeed he will not have belief equal to a mustard seed in
his
heart." The narrator added: There came upon me a time when I did
not
mind dealing with anyone of you, for if he was a Muslim, his
religion
would prevent him from cheating; and if he was a Christian, his
Muslim
ruler would prevent him from cheating; but today I cannot deal
except
with so-and-so and so-and-so. (See Hadith No. 208, Vol. 9)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "People are just like camels, out
of
one hundred, one can hardly find a single camel suitable to ride."

Narrated Jundub:

The Prophet said, "He who lets the people hear of his good deeds
intentionally, to win their praise, Allah will let the people know
his
real intention (on the Day of Resurrection), and he who does good
things in public to show off and win the praise of the people,
Allah
will disclose his real intention (and humiliate him).

Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal:

While I was riding behind the Prophet as a companion rider and
there
was nothing between me and him except the back of the saddle, he
said,
"O Mu'adh!" I replied, "Labbaik O Allah's Apostle! And Sa'diak!" He

proceeded for a while and then said, "O Mu'adh!" I said, "Labbaik
and
Sa'daik, O Allah's Apostle!" He then proceeded for another while
and
said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle,

and Sa'daik!" He said, "Do you know what is Allah's right on His
slaves?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said,
"Allah's right on his slaves is that they should worship Him and
not
worship anything besides Him." He then proceeded for a while, and
again said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal!" I replied. "Labbaik, O Allah's
Apostle, and Sa'daik." He said, "Do you know what is (Allah's)
slaves'
(people's) right on Allah if they did that?" I replied, "Allah and
His
Apostle know better." He said, "The right of (Allah's) slaves on
Allah
is that He should not punish them (if they did that)."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet had a she-camel called Al'Adba' and it was too fast to
surpass in speed. There came a bedouin riding a camel of his, and
that
camel outstripped it (i.e. Al-Aqba'). That result was hard on the
Muslims who said sorrowfully, "Al- Adba has been outstripped."
Allah's
Apostle said, "It is due from Allah that nothing would be raised
high
in this world except that He lowers or puts it down."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'I will declare war against him
who
shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved

things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have
enjoined
upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through
performing
Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory)
till
I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears,
and
his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he
grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will
give
him, and if he asks My protection (Refuge), I will protect him;
(i.e.
give him My Refuge) and I do not hesitate to do anything as I
hesitate
to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to

disappoint him."

Narrated Sahl:

Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent and the Hour (is at hand)
as
these two," showing his two fingers and sticking (separating) them
out.

Narrated Anas:

Allah's Apostle said, "I have been sent and the Hour (is at hand)
as
these two (fingers)."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "I have been sent and the Hour (is at hand) as
these
two (fingers)."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established till the
sun
rises from the west, and when it rises (from the west) and the
people
see it, then all of them will believe (in Allah). But that will be
the
time when 'No good it will do to a soul to believe then. If it
believed not before.."' (6.158)

The Hour will be established (so suddenly) that two persons
spreading
a garment between them will not be able to finish their bargain,
nor
will they be able to fold it up. The Hour will be established while
a
man is carrying the milk of his she-camel, but cannot drink it; and

the Hour will be established when someone is not able to prepare
the
tank to water his livestock from it; and the Hour will be
established
when some of you has raised his food to his mouth but cannot eat
it."

Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:

The Prophet said, "Who-ever loves to meet Allah, Allah (too) loves
to
meet him and who-ever hates to meet Allah, Allah (too) hates to
meet
him". 'Aisha, or some of the wives of the Prophet said, "But we
dislike death." He said: It is not like this, but it is meant that
when the time of the death of a believer approaches, he receives
the
good news of Allah's pleasure with him and His blessings upon him,
and
so at that time nothing is dearer to him than what is in front of
him.
He therefore loves the meeting with Allah, and Allah (too) loves
the
meeting with him. But when the time of the death of a disbeliever
approaches, he receives the evil news of Allah's torment and His
Requital, whereupon nothing is more hateful to him than what is
before
him. Therefore, he hates the meeting with Allah, and Allah too,
hates
the meeting with him."

Narrated Abu Musa:

The Prophet said, "Whoever loves the meeting with Allah, Allah too,

loves the meeting with him; and whoever hates the meeting with
Allah,
Allah too, hates the meeting with him."

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the wife of the Prophet) When Allah's Apostle was in good health,
he
used to say, "No prophet's soul is ever captured unless he is shown

his place in Paradise and given the option (to die or survive)." So

when the death of the Prophet approached and his head was on my
thigh,
he became unconscious for a while and then he came to his senses
and
fixed his eyes on the ceiling and said, "O Allah (with) the highest

companions." (See Qur'an 4:69). I said' "Hence he is not going to
choose us." And I came to know that it was the application of the
narration which he (the Prophet) used to narrate to us. And that
was
the last statement of the Prophet (before his death) i.e., "O
Allah!
With the highest companions." (See Qur'an 4:69)

Narrated 'Aisha:

There was a leather or wood container full of water in front of
Allah's Apostle (at the time of his death). He would put his hand
into
the water and rub his face with it, saying, "None has the right to
be
worshipped but Allah! No doubt, death has its stupors." Then he
raised
his hand and started saying, "(O Allah!) with the highest
companions."
(See Qur'an 4:69) (and kept on saying it) till he expired and his
hand
dropped."

Narrated 'Aisha:

Some rough bedouins used to visit the Prophet and ask him, "When
will
the Hour be?" He would look at the youngest of all of them and say,

"If this should live till he is very old, your Hour (the death of
the
people addressed) will take place." Hisham said that he meant (by
the
Hour), their death.

Narrated Abu Qatada bin Rib'i Al-Ansari:

A funeral procession passed by Allah's Apostle who said, "Relieved
or
relieving?" The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is relieved
and
relieving?" He said, "A believer is relieved (by death) from the
troubles and hardships of the world and leaves for the Mercy of
Allah,
while (the death of) a wicked person relieves the people, the land,

the trees, (and) the animals from him."

Narrated Abu Qatada:

The Prophet said, "Relieved or relieving. And a believer is
relieved
(by death)."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said, "When carried to his grave, a dead person is
followed by three, two of which return (after his burial) and one
remains with him: his relative, his property, and his deeds follow
him; relatives and his property go back while his deeds remain with

him."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "When anyone of you dies, his destination is
displayed before him in the forenoon and in the afternoon, either
in
the (Hell) Fire or in Paradise, and it is said to him, "That is
your
place till you are resurrected and sent to it."

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet said, "Do not abuse the dead, for they have reached the

result of what they have done."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Two men, a Muslim and a Jew, abused each other. The Muslim said,
"By
Him Who gave superiority to Muhammad over all the people." On that,

the Jew said, "By Him Who gave superiority to Moses over all the
people." The Muslim became furious at that and slapped the Jew in
the
face. The Jew went to Allah's Apostle and informed him of what had
happened between him and the Muslim. Allah's Apostle said, "Don't
give
me superiority over Moses, for the people will fall unconscious on
the
Day of Resurrection and I will be the first to gain consciousness,
and
behold ! Moses will be there holding the side of Allah's Throne. I
will not know whether Moses has been among those people who have
become unconscious and then has regained consciousness before me,
or
has been among those exempted by Allah from falling unconscious."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The people will fall down unconscious at the
time
when they should fall down (i.e., on the Day of Resurrection), and
then I will be the first man to get up, and behold, Moses will be
there holding (Allah's) Throne. I will not know whether he has been

amongst those who have fallen unconscious."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Allah will take the whole earth (in His Hand)
and
will roll up the Heaven in His right Hand, and then He will say, "I
am
King! Where are the kings of the earth ? "

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

The Prophet said, "The (planet of) earth will be a bread on the Day
of
Resurrection, and The resistible (Allah) will topple turn it with
His
Hand like anyone of you topple turns a bread with his hands while
(preparing the bread) for a journey, and that bread will be the
entertainment for the people of Paradise." A man from the Jews came

(to the Prophet) and said, "May The Beneficent (Allah) bless you, O

Abul Qasim! Shall I tell you of the entertainment of the people of
Paradise on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet said, "Yes." The
Jew
said, "The earth will be a bread," as the Prophet had said.
Thereupon
the Prophet looked at us and smiled till his premolar tooth became
visible. Then the Jew further said, "Shall I tell you of the udm
(additional food taken with bread) they will have with the bread?"
He
added, "That will be Balam and Nun." The people asked, "What is
that?" He said, "It is an ox and a fish, and seventy thousand
people
will eat of the caudate lobe (i.e. extra lobe) of their livers."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:

I heard the Prophet saying, "The people will be gathered on the Day
of
Resurrection on reddish white land like a pure loaf of bread (made
of
pure fine flour)." Sahl added: That land will have no landmarks for

anybody (to make use of).

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The people will be gathered in three ways: (The
first way will be of) those who will wish or have a hope (for
Paradise) and will have a fear (of punishment), (The second batch
will be those who will gather) riding two on a camel or three on a
camel or ten on a camel. (The third batch) the rest of the people
will
be urged to gather by the Fire which will accompany them at the
time
of their afternoon nap and stay with them where they will spend the

night, and will be with them in the morning wherever they may be
then,
and will be with them in the afternoon wherever they may be then."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

A man said, "O Allah's Prophet! Will a Kafir (disbeliever) be
gathered
(driven prone) on his face?" The Prophet said, "Is not He Who made
him
walk with his legs in this world, able to make him walk on his face
on
the Day of Resurrection?" (Qatada, a sub-narrator said: Yes, (He
can),
by the Power of Our Lord!")

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

The Prophet said, "You will meet Allah barefooted, naked, walking
on
feet, and uncircumcised."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

I heard Allah's Apostle while he was delivering a sermon on a
pulpit,
saying, "You will meet Allah barefooted, naked, and uncircumcised."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet stood up among us and addressed (saying) "You will be
gathered, barefooted, naked, and uncircumcised (as Allah says): 'As
We
began the first creation, We shall repeat it..' (21.104) And the
first
human being to be dressed on the Day of Resurrection will be (the
Prophet) Abraham Al-Khalil. Then will be brought some men of my
followers who will be taken towards the left (i.e., to the Fire),
and
I will say: 'O Lord! My companions whereupon Allah will say: You do

not know what they did after you left them. I will then say as the
pious slave, Jesus said, And I was witness over them while I dwelt
amongst them..........(up to) ...the All-Wise.' (5.117-118). The
narrator added: Then it will be said that those people (relegated
from
Islam, that is) kept on turning on their heels (deserted Islam).

Narrated 'Aisha:

Allah's Apostle said, "The people will be gathered barefooted,
naked,
and uncircumcised." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Will the men and
the
women look at each other?" He said, "The situation will be too hard

for them to pay attention to that."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

While we were in the company of the Prophet in a tent he said,
''Would
it please you to be one fourth of the people of Paradise?" We said,

"Yes." He said, "Would It please you to be one-third of the people
of
Paradise?" We said, "Yes." He said, "Would it please you to be half
of
the people of Paradise?" We said, "Yes." Thereupon he said, "I hope

that you will be one half of the people of Paradise, for none will
enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and you people, in comparison to
the
people who associate others in worship with Allah, are like a white

hair on the skin of a black ox, or a black hair on the skin of a
red
ox."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The first man to be called on the Day of
Resurrection will be Adam who will be shown his offspring, and it
will
be said to them, 'This is your father, Adam.' Adam will say
(responding to the call), 'Labbaik and Sa'daik' Then Allah will say

(to Adam), 'Take out of your offspring, the people of Hell.' Adam
will
say, 'O Lord, how many should I take out?' Allah will say, 'Take
out
ninety-nine out of every hundred." They (the Prophet's companions)
said, "O Allah's Apostle! If ninety-nine out of every one hundred
of
us are taken away, what will remain out of us?" He said, "My
followers
in comparison to the other nations are like a white hair on a black

ox."

Narrated Abu Said:

The Prophet said, "Allah will say, 'O Adam!. Adam will reply,
'Labbaik
and Sa'daik (I respond to Your Calls, I am obedient to Your
orders),
wal Khair fi Yadaik (and all the good is in Your Hands)!' Then
Allah
will say (to Adam), Bring out the people of the Fire.' Adam will
say,
'What (how many) are the people of the Fire?' Allah will say, 'Out
of
every thousand (take out) nine-hundred and ninety-nine (persons).'
At
that time children will become hoary-headed and every pregnant
female
will drop her load (have an abortion) and you will see the people
as
if they were drunk, yet not drunk; But Allah's punishment will be
very
severe."

That news distressed the companions of the Prophet too much, and
they
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who amongst us will be that man (the
lucky
one out of one-thousand who will be saved from the Fire)?" He said,

"Have the good news that one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog,
and
the one (to be saved will be) from you." The Prophet added, "By
Him
in Whose Hand my soul is, I Hope that you (Muslims) will be one
third
of the people of Paradise." On that, we glorified and praised Allah

and said, "Allahu Akbar." The Prophet then said, "By Him in Whose
Hand
my soul is, I hope that you will be one half of the people of
Paradise, as your (Muslims) example in comparison to the other
people
(non-Muslims), is like that of a white hair on the skin of a black
ox,
or a round hairless spot on the foreleg of a donkey."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said (regarding the Verse), "A Day when all mankind
will
stand before the Lord of the Worlds,' (that day) they will stand,
drowned in their sweat up to the middle of their ears."

Narrated Abu Huraira :

Allah's Apostle said, "The people will sweat so profusely on the
Day
of Resurrection that their sweat will sink seventy cubits deep into

the earth, and it will rise up till it reaches the people's mouths
and
ears."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "The cases which will be decided first (on the
Day
of Resurrection) will be the cases of blood-shedding. "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever has wronged his brother, should ask
for
his pardon (before his death), as (in the Hereafter) there will be
neither a Dinar nor a Dirham. (He should secure pardon in this
life)
before some of his good deeds are taken and paid to his brother,
or,
if he has done no good deeds, some of the bad deeds of his brother
are
taken to be loaded on him (in the Hereafter)."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

Allah's Apostle said, "The believers, after being saved from the
(Hell) Fire, will be stopped at a bridge between Paradise and Hell
and
mutual retaliation will be established among them regarding wrongs
they have committed in the world against one another. After they
are
cleansed and purified (through the retaliation), they will be
admitted
into Paradise; and by Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is,
everyone
of them will know his dwelling in Paradise better than he knew his
dwelling in this world."

Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika:

'Aisha said, "The Prophet said, 'Anybody whose account (record) is
questioned will surely be punished.' I said, 'Doesn't Allah say:
'He
surely will receive an easy reckoning?' (84.8) The Prophet
replied.
'This means only the presentation of the account."'

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet said (as above, 543).

Narrated 'Aisha:

Allah's Apostle, said, "None will be called to account on the Day
of
Resurrection, but will be ruined." I said "O Allah's Apostle!
Hasn't
Allah said: 'Then as for him who will be given his record in his
right
hand, he surely will receive an easy reckoning? (84.7-8) -- Allah's

Apostle said, "That (Verse) means only the presentation of the
accounts, but anybody whose account (record) is questioned on the
Day
of Resurrection, will surely be punished."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Prophet used to say, "A disbeliever will be brought on the
Day
of Resurrection and will be asked. "Suppose you had as much gold as
to
fill the earth, would you offer it to ransom yourself?" He will
reply,
"Yes." Then it will be said to him, "You were asked for something
easier than that (to join none in worship with Allah (i.e. to
accept
Islam, but you refused)."

Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:

The Prophet said, "There will be none among you but will be talked
to
by Allah on the Day of Resurrection, without there being an
interpreter between him and Him (Allah) . He will look and see
nothing
ahead of him, and then he will look (again for the second time) in
front of him, and the (Hell) Fire will confront him. So, whoever
among
you can save himself from the Fire, should do so even with one half
of
a date (to give in charity)."

Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:

The Prophet said, "Protect yourself from the Fire." He then turned
his
face aside (as if he were looking at it) and said again, "Protect
yourself from the Fire," and then turned his face aside (as if he
were
looking at it), and he said so for the third time till we thought
he
was looking at it. He then said, "Protect yourselves from the Fire,

even if with one half of a date and he who hasn't got even this,
(should do so) by (saying) a good, pleasant word.'

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, "The people were displayed in front of me and I
saw
one prophet passing by with a large group of his followers, and
another prophet passing by with only a small group of people, and
another prophet passing by with only ten (persons), and another
prophet passing by with only five (persons), and another prophet
passed by alone. And then I looked and saw a large multitude of
people, so I asked Gabriel, "Are these people my followers?' He
said,
'No, but look towards the horizon.' I looked and saw a very large
multitude of people. Gabriel said. 'Those are your followers, and
those are seventy thousand (persons) in front of them who will
neither
have any reckoning of their accounts nor will receive any
punishment.'
I asked, 'Why?' He said, 'For they used not to treat themselves
with
branding (cauterization) nor with Ruqya (get oneself treated by the

recitation of some Verses of the Qur'an) and not to see evil omen
in
things, and they used to put their trust (only) in their Lord." On
hearing that, 'Ukasha bin Mihsan got up and said (to the Prophet),
"Invoke Allah to make me one of them." The Prophet said, "O Allah,
make him one of them." Then another man got up and said (to the
Prophet), "Invoke Allah to make me one of them." The Prophet said,
'Ukasha has preceded you."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "From my followers there will enter

Paradise a crowd, seventy thousand in number whose faces will
glitter
as the moon does when it is full." On hearing that, 'Ukasha bin
Mihsan
Al-Asdi got up, lifting his covering sheet, and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Invoke Allah that He may make me one of them." The Prophet

said, "O Allah, make him one of them." Another man from the Ansar
got
up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah to make me one of
them.
"The Prophet said (to him), "'Ukasha has preceded you."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:

The Prophet said, "Seventy-thousand or seven-hundred thousand of my

followers (the narrator is in doubt as to the correct number) will
enter Paradise holding each other till the first and the last of
them
enter Paradise at the same time, and their faces will have a
glitter
like that of the moon at night when it is full."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet; said, "The people of Paradise will enter Paradise, and

the people of the (Hell) Fire will enter the (Hell) Fire: then a
call-maker will get up (and make an announcement) among them, 'O
the
people of the (Hell) Fire! No death anymore ! And O people of
Paradise! No death (anymore) but Eternity."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, " It will be said to the people of Paradise, 'O
people of Paradise! Eternity (for you) and no death,' and to the
people of the Fire, 'O people of the Fire, eternity (for you) and
no
death!"

Narrated 'Imran:

The Prophet said, "I looked into paradise and saw that the majority
of
its people were the poor, and I looked into the Fire and found that

the majority of its people were women."

Narrated Usama:

The Prophet said, "I stood at the gate of Paradise and saw that the

majority of the people who had entered it were poor people, while
the
rich were forbidden (to enter along with the poor, because they
were
waiting the reckoning of their accounts), but the people of the
Fire
had been ordered to be driven to the Fire. And I stood at the gate
of
the Fire and found that the majority of the people entering it were

women."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "When the people of Paradise have entered
Paradise and the people of the Fire have entered the Fire, death
will
be brought and will be placed between the Fire and Paradise, and
then
it will be slaughtered, and a call will be made (that), 'O people
of
Paradise, no more death ! O people of the Fire, no more death ! '
So
the people of Paradise will have happiness added to their previous
happiness, and the people of the Fire will have sorrow added to
their
previous sorrow."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah will say to the people of Paradise, 'O

the people of Paradise!' They will say, 'Labbaik, O our Lord, and
Sa'daik!' Allah will say, 'Are you pleased?" They will say, 'Why
should we not be pleased since You have given us what You have not
given to anyone of Your creation?' Allah will say, 'I will give you

something better than that.' They will reply, 'O our Lord! And what
is
better than that?' Allah will say, 'I will bestow My pleasure and
contentment upon you so that I will never be angry with you after
for-ever.' "

Narrated Anas:

Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr while he
was
young. His mother came to the Prophet saying, "O Allah's Apostle!
You
know the relation of Haritha to me (how fond of him I was); so, if
he
is in Paradise, I will remain patient and wish for Allah's reward,
but
if he is not there, then you will see what I will do." The Prophet
replied, "May Allah be merciful upon you! Have you gone mad? (Do
you
think) it is one Paradise? There are many Paradises and he is in
the
(most superior) Paradise of Al-Firdaus."

8.559.:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The width between the two shoulders of a Kafir
(disbeliever) will be equal to the distance covered by a fast rider
in
three days."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:

Allah's Apostle said, "In Paradise there is a tree so big that in
its
shade a rider may travel for one hundred years without being able
to
cross it."

Narrated Abu Sa'id:

The Prophet said: There is a tree in Paradise (so huge) that a fast

(or a trained) rider may travel: for one hundred years without
being
able to cross it.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:

Allah's Apostle said, "Seventy thousand or seven hundred thousand
of
my followers will enter Paradise. (Abu Hazim, the sub-narrator, is
not
sure as to which of the two numbers is correct.) And they will be
holding on to one another, and the first of them will not enter
till
the last of them has entered, and their faces will be like the moon
on
a full moon night."

Narrated Sahl:

The Prophet said, "The people of Paradise will see the Ghuraf
(special
abodes) in Paradise as you see a star in the sky." Abu Said added:
"As
you see a glittering star remaining in the eastern horizon and the
western horizon."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet said, "Allah will say to the person who will have the
minimum punishment in the Fire on the Day of Resurrection, 'If you
had
things equal to whatever is on the earth, would you ransom yourself

(from the punishment) with it?' He will reply, Yes. Allah will say,
'I
asked you a much easier thing than this while you were in the
backbone
of Adam, that is, not to worship others besides Me, but you refused

and insisted to worship others besides Me."'

Narrated Hammad from 'Amr from Jabir:

The Prophet said, "Some people will come out of the Fire through
intercession looking like The Thaarir." I asked 'Amr, "What is the
Thaarir?" He said, Ad Daghabis, and at that time he was toothless.
Hammad added: I said to 'Amr bin Dinar, "O Abu Muhammad! Did you
hear
Jabir bin 'Abdullah saying, 'I heard the Prophet saying: 'Some
people
will come out of the Fire through intercession?" He said, "Yes. "

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet said, "Some people will come out of the Fire after they

have received a touch of the Fire, changing their color, and they
will
enter Paradise, and the people of Paradise will name them
'Al-Jahannamiyin' the (Hell) Fire people."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

Allah's Apostle said, "When the people of Paradise have entered
Paradise, and the people of the Fire have entered the Fire, Allah
will
say. 'Take out (of the Fire) whoever has got faith equal to a
mustard
seed in his heart.' They will come out, and by that time they would

have burnt and became like coal, and then they will be thrown into
the
river of Al-Hayyat (life) and they will spring up just as a seed
grows
on the bank of a rainwater stream." The Prophet said, "Don't you
see
that the germinating seed comes out yellow and twisted?"

Narrated An-Nu'man:

I heard the Prophet saying, "The person who will have the least
punishment from amongst the Hell Fire people on the Day of
Resurrection, will be a man under whose arch of the feet a
smoldering
ember will be placed so that his brain will boil because of it."

Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:

I heard the Prophet saying, "The least punished person of the
(Hell)
Fire people on the Day of Resurrection will be a man under whose
arch
of the feet two smoldering embers will be placed, because of which
his
brain will boil just like Al-Mirjal (copper vessel) or a Qum-qum
(narrow-necked vessel) is boiling with water."

Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:

The Prophet mentioned the Fire and turned his face aside and asked
for
Allah's protection from it, and then again he mentioned the Fire
and
turned his face aside and asked for Allah's protection from it and
said, "Protect yourselves from the Hell-Fire, even if with one half
of
a date, and he who cannot afford that, then (let him do so) by
(saying) a good, pleasant word."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

I heard Allah's Apostles when his uncle, Abu Talib had been
mentioned
in his presence, saying, "May be my intercession will help him (Abu

Talib) on the Day of Resurrection so that he may be put in a
shallow
place in the Fire, with fire reaching his ankles and causing his
brain
to boil."

Narrated Anas:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah will gather all the people on the Day
of
Resurrection and they will say, 'Let us request someone to
intercede
for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of
ours.' Then they will go to Adam and say, 'You are the one whom
Allah
created with His Own Hands, and breathed in you of His soul, and
ordered the angels to prostrate to you; so please intercede for us
with our Lord.' Adam will reply, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking,
and will remember his sin, and will say, 'Go to Noah, the first
Apostle sent by Allah' They will go to him and he will say, 'I am
not
fit for this undertaking', and will remember his sin and say, 'Go
to
Abraham whom Allah took as a Khalil. They will go to him (and
request
similarly). He will reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and

will remember his sin and say, 'Go to Moses to whom Allah spoke
directly.' They will go to Moses and he will say, 'I am not fit for

this undertaking,' and will remember his sin and say, 'Go to
Jesus.'
They will go to him, and he will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking, go to Muhammad as Allah has forgiven his past and
future
sins.' They will come to me and I will ask my Lord's permission,
and
when I see Him, I will fall down in prostration to Him, and He will

leave me in that state as long as (He) Allah will, and then I will
be
addressed. 'Raise up your head (O Muhammad)! Ask, and your request
will be granted, and say, and your saying will be listened to;
intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.' Then I will
raise
my head, and I will glorify and praise my Lord with a saying(i.e.
invocation) He will teach me, and then I will intercede, Allah will

fix a limit for me (i.e., certain type of people for whom I may
intercede), and I will take them out of the (Hell) Fire and let
them
enter Paradise. Then I will come back (to Allah) and fall in
prostration, and will do the same for the third and fourth times
till
no-one remains in the (Hell) Fire except those whom the Qur'an has
imprisoned therein." (The sub-narrator, Qatada used to say at that
point, "...those upon whom eternity (in Hell) has been imposed.")
(See
Hadith No. 3, Vol 6).

Narrated 'Imran bin Husain:

The Prophet said, "Some people will be taken out of the Fire
through
the intercession of Muhammad they will enter Paradise and will be
called Al-Jahannamiyin (the Hell Fire people)."

Narrated Anas:

Um (the mother of) Haritha came to Allah's Apostle after Haritha
had
been martyred on the Day (of the battle) of Badr by an arrow thrown
by
an unknown person. She said, "O Allah's Apostle! You know the
position
of Haritha in my heart (i.e. how dear to me he was), so if he is in

Paradise, I will not weep for him, or otherwise, you will see what I

will do." The Prophet said, "Are you mad? Is there only one
Paradise?
There are many Paradises, and he is in the highest Paradise of
Firdaus." The Prophet added, "A forenoon journey or an after noon
journey in Allah's Cause is better than the whole world and
whatever
is in it; and a place equal to an arrow bow of anyone of you, or a
place equal to a foot in Paradise is better than the whole world
and
whatever is in it; and if one of the women of Paradise looked at
the
earth, she would fill the whole space between them (the earth and
the
heaven) with light, and would fill whatever is in between them,
with
perfume, and the veil of her face is better than the whole world
and
whatever is in it."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "None will enter Paradise but will be shown the
place he would have occupied in the (Hell) Fire if he had rejected
faith, so that he may be more thankful; and none will enter the
(Hell)
Fire but will be shown the place he would have occupied in Paradise
if
he had faith, so that may be a cause of sorrow for him."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who will be the luckiest person who
will
gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet
said,
"O Abu Huraira! I have thought that none will ask me about this
Hadith
before you, as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths.
The
luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of
Resurrection will be the one who said, 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah,' sincerely from the bottom of his heart."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "I know the person who will be the last to come
out
of the (Hell) Fire, and the last to enter Paradise. He will be a
man
who will come out of the (Hell) Fire crawling, and Allah will say
to
him, 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will go to it, but he will imagine

that it had been filled, and then he will return and say, 'O Lord, I

have found it full.' Allah will say, 'Go and enter Paradise, and
you
will have what equals the world and ten times as much (or, you will

have as much as ten times the like of the world).' On that, the man

will say, 'Do you mock at me (or laugh at me) though You are the
King?" I saw Allah's Apostle (while saying that) smiling that his
premolar teeth became visible. It is said that will be the lowest
in
degree amongst the people of Paradise.

Narrated 'Abbas:

that he said to the Prophet "Did you benefit Abu Talib with
anything?"

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Some people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the
Day
of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on
looking at the sun when it is not hidden by clouds?" They replied,
"No, Allah's Apostle." He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each
other
on looking at the moon when it is full and not hidden by clouds?"
They
replied, No, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "So you will see Him
(your
Lord) on the Day of Resurrection similarly Allah will gather all
the
people and say, 'Whoever used to worship anything should follow
that
thing. 'So, he who used to worship the sun, will follow it, and he
who
used to worship the moon will follow it, and he who used to worship

false deities will follow them; and then only this nation (i.e.,
Muslims) will remain, including their hypocrites. Allah will come
to
them in a shape other than they know and will say, 'I am your
Lord.'
They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our
place;
(we will not follow you) till our Lord comes to us, and when our
Lord
comes to us, we will recognize Him.

Then Allah will come to then in a shape they know and will say, "I
am
your Lord.' They will say, '(No doubt) You are our Lord,' and they
will follow Him. Then a bridge will be laid over the (Hell) Fire."
Allah's Apostle added, "I will be the first to cross it. And the
invocation of the Apostles on that Day, will be 'Allahukka Sallim,
Sallim (O Allah, save us, save us!),' and over that bridge there
will
be hooks Similar to the thorns of As Sa'dan (a thorny tree). Didn't

you see the thorns of As-Sa'dan?" The companions said, "Yes, O
Allah's
Apostle." He added, "So the hooks over that bridge will be like the

thorns of As-Sa-dan except that their greatness in size is only
known
to Allah. These hooks will snatch the people according to their
deeds.
Some people will be ruined because of their evil deeds, and some
will
be cut into pieces and fall down in Hell, but will be saved
afterwards, when Allah has finished the judgments among His slaves,

and intends to take out of the Fire whoever He wishes to take out
from
among those who used to testify that none had the right to be
worshipped but Allah.

We will order the angels to take them out and the angels will know
them by the mark of the traces of prostration (on their foreheads)
for
Allah banned the f ire to consume the traces of prostration on the
body of Adam's son. So they will take them out, and by then they
would
have burnt (as coal), and then water, called Maul Hayat (water of
life) will be poured on them, and they will spring out like a seed
springs out on the bank of a rainwater stream, and there will
remain
one man who will be facing the (Hell) Fire and will say, 'O Lord!
It's
(Hell's) vapor has Poisoned and smoked me and its flame has burnt
me;
please turn my face away from the Fire.' He will keep on invoking
Allah till Allah says, 'Perhaps, if I give you what you want), you
will ask for another thing?' The man will say, 'No, by Your Power, I

will not ask You for anything else.'

Then Allah will turn his face away from the Fire. The man will say
after that, 'O Lord, bring me near the gate of Paradise.' Allah
will
say (to him), 'Didn't you promise not to ask for anything else? Woe
to
you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' The man will keep on

invoking Allah till Allah will say, 'But if I give you that, you
may
ask me for something else.' The man will say, 'No, by Your Power. I

will not ask for anything else.' He will give Allah his covenant
and
promise not to ask for anything else after that. So Allah will
bring
him near to the gate of Paradise, and when he sees what is in it,
he
will remain silent as long as Allah will, and then he will say, 'O
Lord! Let me enter Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you promise
that
you would not ask Me for anything other than that? Woe to you, O
son
of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' On that, the man will say, 'O
Lord! Do not make me the most wretched of Your creation,' and will
keep on invoking Allah till Allah will smile and when Allah will
smile
because of him, then He will allow him to enter Paradise, and when
he
will enter Paradise, he will be addressed, 'Wish from so-and-so.'
He
will wish till all his wishes will be fulfilled, then Allah will
say,
All this (i.e. what you have wished for) and as much again
therewith
are for you.' "

Abu Huraira added: That man will be the last of the people of
Paradise
to enter (Paradise).

Narrated 'Ata (while Abu Huraira was narrating): Abu Said was
sitting
in the company of Abu Huraira and he did not deny anything of his
narration till he reached his saying: "All this and as much again
therewith are for you." Then Abu Sa'id said, "I heard Allah's
Apostle
saying, 'This is for you and ten times as much.' " Abu Huraira
said,
"In my memory it is 'as much again therewith.' "

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "I am your predecessor at the Lake-Fount."
'Abdullah
added: The Prophet said, "I am your predecessor at the Lake-Fount,
and
some of you will be brought in front of me till I will see them and

then they will be taken away from me and I will say, 'O Lord, my
companions!' It will be said, 'You do not know what they did after
you
had left.'

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "There will be a tank (Lake-Fount) in front of
you
as large as the distance between Jarba and Adhruh (two towns in
Sham)."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The word 'Al-Kauthar' means the abundant good which Allah gave to
him
(the Prophet Muhammad). Abu Bishr said: I said to Said, "Some
people
claim that it (Al-Kauthar) is a river in Paradise." Said replied,
"The
river which is in Paradise is one item of that good which Allah has

bestowed upon him (Muhammad)."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:

The Prophet said, "My Lake-Fount is (so large that it takes) a
month's
journey to cross it. Its water is whiter than milk, and its smell
is
nicer than musk (a kind of Perfume), and its drinking cups are (as
numerous) as the (number of) stars of the sky; and whoever drinks
from
it, will never be thirsty."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said, "The width of my Lake-Fount is equal to the
distance between Aila (a town in Sham) and Sana' (the capital of
Yemen) and it has as many (numerous) jugs as the number of stars of

the sky."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet said: "While I was walking in Paradise (on the night of

Mi'raj), I saw a river, on the two banks of which there were tents
made of hollow pearls. I asked, "What is this, O Gabriel?' He said,

'That is the Kauthar which Your Lord has given to you.' Behold! Its

scent or its mud was sharp smelling musk!" (The sub-narrator, Hudba
is
in doubt as to the correct expression. )

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "Some of my companions will come to me at my Lake

Fount, and after I recognize them, they will then be taken away
from
me, whereupon I will say, 'My companions!' Then it will be said,
'You
do not know what they innovated (new things) in the religion after
you."

Narrated Abu Hazim from Sahl bin Sa'd:

The Prophet said, "I am your predecessor (forerunner) at the
Lake-Fount, and whoever will pass by there, he will drink from it
and
whoever will drink from it, he will never be thirsty. There will
come
to me some people whom I will recognize, and they will recognize
me,
but a barrier will be placed between me and them." Abu Hazim added:

An-Nu'man bin Abi 'Aiyash, on hearing me, said. "Did you hear this
from Sahl?" I said, "Yes." He said, " I bear witness that I heard
Abu
Said Al-Khudri saying the same, adding that the Prophet said: 'I
will
say: They are of me (i.e. my followers). It will be said, 'You do
not
know what they innovated (new things) in the religion after you
left'.
I will say, 'Far removed, far removed (from mercy), those who
changed
(their religion) after me." Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet
said, "On the Day of Resurrection a group of companions will come
to
me, but will be driven away from the Lake-Fount, and I will say, 'O

Lord (those are) my companions!' It will be said, 'You have no
knowledge as to what they innovated after you left; they turned
apostate as renegades (reverted from Islam)."

Narrated Ibn Al-Musaiyab:

The companions of the Prophet said, "Some men from my companions
will
come to my Lake-Fount and they will be driven away from it, and I
will
say, 'O Lord, my companions!' It will be said, 'You have no
knowledge
of what they innovated after you left: they turned apostate as
renegades (reverted from Islam).

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "While I was sleeping, a group (of my followers
were
brought close to me), and when I recognized them, a man (an angel)
came out from amongst (us) me and them, he said (to them), 'Come
along.' I asked, 'Where?' He said, 'To the (Hell) Fire, by Allah' I

asked, 'what is wrong with them' He said, 'They turned apostate as
renegades after you left.' Then behold! (Another) group (of my
followers) were brought close to me, and when I recognized them, a
man
(an angel) came out from (me and them) he said (to them); Come
along.'
I asked, "Where?' He said, 'To the (Hell) Fire, by Allah.' I asked,

What is wrong with them?' He said, 'They turned apostate as
renegades
after you left. So I did not see anyone of them escaping except a
few
who were like camels without a shepherd."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Between my house and my pulpit there is a
garden from amongst the gardens of Paradise, and my pulpit is over
my
Lake-Fount."

Narrated Jundab:

I heard the Prophet, saying, "I am your predecessor at the
Lake-Fount.
(Al-Kauthar) .

Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir:

Once the Prophet went out and offered the funeral prayers for the
martyrs of Uhud, and then went to the pulpit and said, "I am a
predecessor for you and I am a witness for you: and by Allah, I am
looking at my Fount just now, and the keys of the treasures of the
earth (or the keys of the earth) have been given to me: and by
Allah,
I am not afraid that you will worship others besides Allah after
me,
but I am afraid that you will strive and struggle against each
other
over these treasures of the world."

Narrated Haritha bin Wahb:

I heard the Prophet mentioning the Lake-Fount (Al-Kauthar), saying,

"(The width of the Lake-Fount) is equal to the distance between
Medina
and Sana' (capital of Yemen)." Haritha said that he heard the
Prophet
saying that his Lake-Fount would be as large as the distance
between
Sana' and Medina. Al-Mustaurid said to Haritha, "Didn't you hear
him
talking about the vessels?" He said, "No." Al-Mustaurid said, "The
vessels are seen in it as (numberless as) the stars."

Narrated Asma 'bint Abu Bakr:

The Prophet said, "I will be standing at the Lake-Fount so that I
will
see whom among you will come to me; and some people will be taken
away
from me, and I will say, 'O Lord, (they are) from me and from my
followers.' Then it will be said, 'Did you notice what they did
after
you? By Allah, they kept on turning on their heels (turned as
renegades).' " The sub-narrator, Ibn Abi Mulaika said, "O Allah, we

seek refuge with You from turning on our heels, or being put to
trial
in our religion."
