ONENESS, UNIQUENESS OF ALLAH (TAWHEED)

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are
going
to a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let the first
thing
to which you will invite them, be the Tauhid of Allah. If they
learn
that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be

offered in one day and one night. And if they pray, tell them that

Allah has enjoined on them Zakat of their properties and it is to
be
taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. And if they
agree to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best
property
of the people."

Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal:

The Prophet said, "O Mu'adh! Do you know what Allah's Right upon
His
slaves is?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet
said, "To worship Him (Allah) Alone and to join none in worship
with
Him (Allah). Do you know what their right upon Him is?" I replied,
"Allah and His Apostle know best." The Prophet said, "Not to punish

them (if they do so)."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

A man heard another man reciting (in the prayers): 'Say (O
Muhammad):
"He is Allah, the One." (112.1) And he recited it repeatedly.
When
it was morning, he went to the Prophet and informed him about that
as
if he considered that the recitation of that Sura by itself was not

enough. Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it
is
equal to one-third of the Quran."

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet sent (an army unit) under the command of a man who used
to
lead his companions in the prayers and would finish his recitation
with (the Sura 112): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allah, the One." '
(112.1) When they returned (from the battle), they mentioned that
to
the Prophet. He said (to them), "Ask him why he does so." They
asked
him and he said, "I do so because it mentions the qualities of the
Beneficent and I love to recite it (in my prayer)." The Prophet;
said
(to them), "Tell him that Allah loves him"

Narrated Jarir bin 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah will not be merciful to those who are
not
merciful to mankind."

Narrated Usama bin Zaid:

We were with the Prophet when suddenly there came to him a
messenger
from one of his daughters who was asking him to come and see her
son
who was dying. The Prophet said (to the messenger), "Go back and
tell
her that whatever Allah takes is His, and whatever He gives is His,

and everything with Him has a limited fixed term (in this world).
So
order her to be patient and hope for Allah's reward." But she sent
the
messenger to the Prophet again, swearing that he should come to
her.
So the Prophets got up, and so did Sa'd bin 'Ubada and Mu'adh bin
Jabal (and went to her). When the child was brought to the Prophet
his
breath was disturbed in his chest as if it were in a water skin. On

that the eyes of the Prophet . became flooded with tears, whereupon

Sa'd said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! What is this?" The Prophet
said,
"This is mercy which Allah has put in the heart of His slaves, and
Allah bestows His mercy only on those of His slaves who are
merciful
(to others)." (See Hadith No. 373, Vol. 2)

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:

The Prophet said, "None is more patient than Allah against the
harmful
and annoying words He hears (from the people): They ascribe
children
to Him, yet He bestows upon them health and provision .

Narrated Ibn Umar:

The Prophet said, "The keys of the unseen are five and none knows
them
but Allah: (1) None knows what is in the womb, but Allah:
(2) None knows what will happen tomorrow, but Allah; (3) None
knows
when it will rain, but Allah; (4) None knows where he will die, but

Allah (knows that); (5) and none knows when the Hour will be
established, but Allah."

Narrated Masruq:

'Aisha said, "If anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen his Lord,
he
is a liar, for Allah says: 'No vision can grasp Him.' (6.103) And
if
anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen the Unseen, he is a liar,
for
Allah says: "None has the knowledge of the Unseen but Allah."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

We used to pray behind the Prophet and used to say: "As-Salamu
'Al-Allah. The Prophet said, "Allah himself is As-Salam (Name of
Allah), so you should say: 'At-Tahiyatu lil-laihi was- sala-watu
wat-taiyibatu, as-sallamu 'Alayka aiyuha-n-nabiyyu wa
rahrmatu-l-lahi
wa barak-atuhu, As-salamu 'alaina wa 'ala 'ibaldi-l-lahi

wa
rasuluhu."'

None has the right to be worshipped but You Who does not die while
the
Jinns and the human beings die."

The Prophet said, "(The people will be thrown into Hell ( Fire) and
it
will keep on saying, 'Is there any more?' till the Lord of the
worlds
puts His Foot over it, whereupon its different sides will come
close
to each other, and it will say, 'Qad! Qad! (enough! enough!) By
Your
'Izzat (Honor and Power) and YOUR KARAM (Generosity)!' Paradise
will
remain spacious enough to accommodate more people until Allah will
create some more people and let them dwell in the superfluous space
of
Paradise. "

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet used to invoke Allah at night, saying, "O Allah: All
the
Praises are for You: You are the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth.

All the Praises are for You; You are the Maintainer of the Heaven
and
the Earth and whatever is in them. All the Praises are for You; You

are the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. Your Word 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, and
the
Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender myself to You, and I
believe
in You and I depend upon You, and I repent to You and with You
(Your
evidences) I stand against my opponents, and to you I leave the
judgment (for those who refuse my message). O Allah! Forgive me my
sins that I did in the past or will do in the future, and also the
sins I did in secret or in public. You are my only God (Whom I
worship) and there is no other God for me (i.e. I worship none but
You)."

Narrated Sufyan:

(regarding the above narration) that the Prophet added, "You are
the
Truth, and Your Word is the Truth."

Narrated Abu Musa:

We were with the Prophet on a journey, and whenever we ascended a
high
place, we used to say, "Allahu Akbar." The Prophet said, "Don't
trouble yourselves too much! You are not calling a deaf or an
absent
person, but you are calling One Who Hears, Sees, and is very near."

Then he came to me while I was saying in my heart, "La hawla wala
quwwatta illa billah (There is neither might nor power but with
Allah)." He said, to me, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Say, 'La hawla wala

quwwata illa billah (There is neither might nor power but with
Allah),
for it is one of the treasures of Paradise." Or said, "Shall I tell

you of it?"

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:

Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said to the Prophet "O Allah's Apostle! Teach me
an
invocation with which I may invoke Allah in my prayers." The
Prophet
said, "Say: O Allah! I have wronged my soul very much (oppressed
myself), and none forgives the sins but You; so please bestow Your
Forgiveness upon me. No doubt, You are the Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful."

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet said, "Gabriel called me and said, 'Allah has heard the

statement of your people and what they replied to you.'"

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:

As-Salami: Allah's Apostle used to teach his companions to perform
the
prayer of Istikhara for each and every matter just as he used to
teach
them the Suras from the Quran He used to say, "If anyone of you
intends to do some thing, he should offer a two rakat prayer other
than the compulsory prayers, and after finishing it, he should say:
O
Allah! I consult You, for You have all knowledge, and appeal to You
to
support me with Your Power and ask for Your Bounty, for You are
able
to do things while I am not, and You know while I do not; and You
are
the Knower of the Unseen. O Allah If You know It this matter (name
your matter) is good for me both at present and in the future, (or
in
my religion), in my this life and in the Hereafter, then fulfill it

for me and make it easy for me, and then bestow Your Blessings on
me
in that matter. O Allah! If You know that this matter is not good
for
me in my religion, in my this life and in my coming Hereafter (or
at
present or in the future), then divert me from it and choose for me

what is good wherever it may be, and make me be pleased with it."

hearts."

it
off thrice with the edge of his garment, and say: Bismika Rabbi

one.
(Because of that sleep)."

dogs;
(what is your verdict concerning the game they hunt?" He said, "If

then, if they catch some game, eat (thereof). And if you hit the
game
with a mi'rad (a hunting tool) and it wounds it, you can eat (it)."

Narrated 'Aisha:

The people said to the Prophet , "O Allah's Apostle! Here are

that

Khubaib Al Ansari) he asked for a razor to clean his pubic region,
and
when they had taken him outside the sanctuary of Mecca in order to
kill him, he said in verse, "I don't care if I am killed as a
Muslim,
on any side (of my body) I may be killed in Allah's Cause; for that
is
for the sake of Allah's very Self; and if He will, He will bestow
His
Blessings upon the torn pieces of my body." Then Ibn Al-Harith
killed
him, and the Prophet informed his companions of the death of those
(ten men) on the very day they were killed.

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "There is none having a greater sense of Ghira
than
Allah, and for that reason He has forbidden shameful deeds and sins

(illegal sexual intercourse etc.) And there is none who likes to be

praised more than Allah does." (See Hadith No. 147, Vol. 7)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "When Allah created the Creation, He wrote in His

Book--and He wrote (that) about Himself, and it is placed with Him
on
the Throne--'Verily My Mercy overcomes My Anger.'"

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Allah says: 'I am just as My slave thinks I am,

(i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I

am with him if He remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I
too,
remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a group of
people, I
remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes
one
span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes
one
cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer
to
him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

when this Verse:--'Say (O Muhammad!): He has Power to send torments
on
you from above,' (6.65) was revealed; The Prophet said, "I take
refuge with Your Face." Allah revealed:-- '..or from underneath
your
feet.' (6.65) The Prophet then said, "I seek refuge with Your
Face!"
Then Allah revealed:--'...or confuse you in party-strife.' (6.65)
Oh
that, the Prophet said, "This is easier."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

Ad-Dajjal was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet. The Prophet

said, "Allah is not hidden from you; He is not one-eyed," and
pointed
with his hand towards his eye, adding, "While Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal is

blind in the right eye and his eye looks like a protruding grape."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "Allah did not send any prophet but that he
warned
his nation of the one-eyed liar (Ad-Dajjal). He is one-eyed while
your
Lord is not one-eyed, The word 'Kafir' (unbeliever) is written
between
his two eyes."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

That during the battle with Bani Al-Mustaliq they (Muslims)
captured
some females and intended to have sexual relation with them without

impregnating them. So they asked the Prophet about coitus interrupt

us. The Prophet said, "It is better that you should not do it, for
Allah has written whom He is going to create till the Day of
Resurrection." Qaza'a said, "I heard Abu Sa'id saying that the
Prophet
said, 'No soul is ordained to be created but Allah will create it."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "Allah will gather the believers on the Day of
Resurrection in the same way (as they are gathered in this life),
and
they will say, 'Let us ask someone to intercede for us with our
Lord
that He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Then they will go
to
Adam and say, 'O Adam! Don't you see the people (people's
condition)?
Allah created you with His Own Hands and ordered His angels to
prostrate before you, and taught you the names of all the things.
Please intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us
from
this place of ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking' and mention to them the mistakes he had committed, and

add, "But you d better go to Noah as he was the first Apostle sent
by
Allah to the people of the Earth.' They will go to Noah who will
reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and mention the mistake

which he made, and add, 'But you'd better go to Abraham, Khalil
Ar-Rahman.'

They will go to Abraham who will reply, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking,' and mention to them the mistakes he made, and add,
'But
you'd better go to Moses, a slave whom Allah gave the Torah and to
whom He spoke directly' They will go to Moses who will reply, 'I am

not fit for this undertaking,' and mention to them the mistakes he
made, and add, 'You'd better go to Jesus, Allah's slave and His
Apostle and His Word (Be: And it was) and a soul created by Him.'
They
will go to Jesus who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,
but
you'd better go to Muhammad whose sins of the past and the future
had
been forgiven (by Allah).' So they will come to me and I will ask
the
permission of my Lord, and I will be permitted (to present myself)
before Him. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in (prostration)
before Him and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He
wishes,
and then it will be said to me, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and
speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be
granted
(your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be
accepted.' I will then raise my head and praise my Lord with
certain
praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah
will
allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a

limit whom I will admit into Paradise.

I will come back again, and when I see my Lord (again), I will fall

down in prostration before Him, and He will leave me (in
prostration)
as long as He wishes, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad! Raise your

head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will
be
granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will
be
accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain praises which He

has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to
intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit to
whom
I will admit into Paradise, I will return again, and when I see my
Lord, I will fall down (in prostration) and He will leave me (in
prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say, 'O
Muhammad!
Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask,
for
you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your
intercession will be accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with
certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede.
Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and

will fix a limit to whom I will admit into Paradise. I will come
back
and say, 'O my Lord! None remains in Hell (Fire) but those whom
Qur'an
has imprisoned therein and for whom eternity in Hell (Fire) has
become
inevitable.' "

The Prophet added, "There will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who

says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good equal to the
weight of a barley grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire)
everyone who says: ' La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his heart good

equal to the weight of a wheat grain. Then there will come out of
Hell
(Fire) everyone who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his
heart
good equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant)."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah's Hand is full, and (its fullness) is
not
affected by the continuous spending, day and night." He also said,

you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and the
Earth?
Yet all that has not decreased what is in His Hand." He also said,
"His Throne is over the water and in His other Hand is the balance
(of
Justice) and He raises and lowers (whomever He will)." (See

Apostle
said," Allah will grasp the Earth...' "

A Jew came to the Prophet and said, "O Muhammad! Allah will hold
the
heavens on a Finger, and the mountains on a Finger, and the trees
on a
Finger, and all the creation on a Finger, and then He will say, 'I
am
the King.' " On that Allah's Apostle smiled till his premolar teeth

became visible, and then recited:--

'No just estimate have they made of Allah such as due to
him....(39.67) 'Abdullah added: Allah's Apostle smiled (at the
Jew's
statement) expressing his wonder and believe in what was said.

Narrated 'Abdullah:

A man from the people of the scripture came to the Prophet and
said,
"O Abal-Qasim! Allah will hold the Heavens upon a Finger, and the
Earth on a Finger and the land on a Finger, and all the creation on
a
Finger, and will say, 'I am the King! I am the King!' " I saw the
Prophet (after hearing that), smiling till his premolar teeth
became
visible, and he then recited: -- 'No just estimate have they made
of
Allah such as due to him... (39.67)

Narrated Al-Mughira:

Sa'd bin 'Ubada said, "If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike
him
(behead him) with the blade of my sword." This news reached Allah's

Apostle who then said, "You people are astonished at Sa'd's Ghira.
By
Allah, I have more Ghira than he, and Allah has more Ghira than I,
and
because of Allah's Ghira, He has made unlawful Shameful deeds and
sins
(illegal sexual intercourse etc.) done in open and in secret. And
there is none who likes that the people should repent to Him and
beg
His pardon than Allah, and for this reason He sent the warners and
the
givers of good news. And there is none who likes to be praised more

than Allah does, and for this reason, Allah promised to grant
Paradise
(to the doers of good)." 'Abdul Malik said, "No person has more
Ghira
than Allah."

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:

While I was with the Prophet , some people from Bani Tamim came to
him. The Prophet said, "O Bani Tamim! Accept the good news!" They
said, "You have given us the good news; now give us (something)."
(After a while) some Yemenites entered, and he said to them, "O the

people of Yemen! Accept the good news, as Bani Tamim have refused
it.
" They said, "We accept it, for we have come to you to learn the
Religion. So we ask you what the beginning of this universe was."
The
Prophet said "There was Allah and nothing else before Him and His
Throne was over the water, and He then created the Heavens and the
Earth and wrote everything in the Book." Then a man came to me and
said, 'O Imran! Follow your she-camel for it has run away!" So I
set
out seeking it, and behold, it was beyond the mirage! By Allah, I
wished that it (my she-camel) had gone but that I had not left (the

gathering). "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "The Right (Hand) of Allah Is full, and (Its
fullness) is not affected by the continuous spending night and day.
Do
you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and the
Earth?
Yet all that has not decreased what is in His Right Hand. His
Throne
is over the water and in His other Hand is the Bounty or the Power
to
bring about death, and He raises some people and brings others
down."
(See Hadith No. 508)

The
Prophet kept on saying (to him), "Be afraid of Allah and keep your
wife." Aisha said, "If Allah's Apostle were to conceal anything (of

before the wives of the Prophet and used to say, "You were given in

marriage by your families, while I was married (to the Prophet) by
Allah from over seven Heavens." And Thabit recited, "The Verse:--

incumbent upon Allah to admit him into Paradise, whether he
emigrates
for Allah's cause or stays in the land where he was born." They
(the
companions of the Prophet) said, "O Allah's Apostle! Should we not
inform the people of that?" He said, "There are one-hundred degrees
in
Paradise which Allah has prepared for those who carry on Jihad in
His
Cause. The distance between every two degrees is like the distance
between the sky and the Earth, so if you ask Allah for anything,
ask
Him for the Firdaus, for it is the last part of Paradise and the
highest part of Paradise, and at its top there is the Throne of
Beneficent, and from it gush forth the rivers of Paradise."

Narrated Abu Dharr:

"It
goes and asks permission to prostrate, and it is allowed, and (one
day) it, as if being ordered to return whence it came, then it will

rise from the west." Then the Prophet recited, "That: "And the sun
runs on its fixed course (for a term decreed)," (36.38) as it is
recited by 'Abdullah.

"Nothing ascends to Allah except good."

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Allah's Apostle used to say at the time of difficulty, "None has
the
right to be worshipped but Allah, the Majestic, the Most
Forbearing.
None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, the Lord of the
Tremendous Throne. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,
the
Lord of the Heavens and the Lord of the Honourable Throne. (See
Hadith No. 357, Vol. 8)

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

When 'Ali was in Yemen, he sent some gold in its ore to the
Prophet.
The Prophet distributed it among Al-Aqra' bin Habis Al-Hanzali who
belonged to Bani Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, 'Alqama bin
'Ulatha Al-'Amiri, who belonged to the Bani Kilab tribe and Zaid
AI-Khail At-Ta'i who belonged to Bani Nabhan. So the Quraish and
the
Ansar became angry and said, "He gives to the chiefs of Najd and
leaves us!" The Prophet said, "I just wanted to attract and unite
their hearts (make them firm in Islam)." Then there came a man with

sunken eyes, bulging forehead, thick beard, fat raised cheeks, and
clean-shaven head, and said, "O Muhammad! Be afraid of Allah! " The

Prophet said, "Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Allah). He

trusts me over the people of the earth, but you do not trust me?" A

man from the people (present then), who, I think, was Khalid bin
Al-Walid, asked for permission to kill him, but the Prophet
prevented
him. When the man went away, the Prophet said, "Out of the
offspring
of this man, there will be people who will recite the Quran but it
will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out of Islam as
an
arrow goes out through the game, and they will kill the Muslims and

leave the idolators. Should I live till they appear, I would kill
them
as the Killing of the nation of 'Ad."

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."

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)

Narrated Jarir bin 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "You will definitely see your Lord with your own
eyes."

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."

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."

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.'"

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 Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle sent for the Ansar and gathered them in a tent and
said to them, "Be patient till you meet Allah and His Apostle, and I

will be on the lake-Tank (Al-Kauthar)."

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 'Adi bin Hatim:

Allah's Apostle said, "There will be none among you but his Lord
will
speak to him, and there will be no interpreter between them nor a
screen to screen Him."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Qais:

The Prophet said, "(There will be) two Paradises of silver and all
the
utensils and whatever is therein (will be of silver); and two
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)."

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.' "

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?"

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)."

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
admit
them into Paradise by the grant of His Mercy. These people will be
called, 'Al-JahannamiyyLin' (the people of Hell)."

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 Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "When Allah created the creations, He wrote
with
Him on His Throne: 'My Mercy has preceded My Anger."

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)

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said, "O Gabriel, what prevents you. from visiting us
more
often than you do?" Then this Verse was revealed:--'And we angels
descend not but by Command of your Lord. To Him belongs what is
before
us and what is behind us..' (19.64) So this was the answer 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?"

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah guarantees to the person who carries
out
Jihad for His Cause and nothing compelled him to go out but the
Jihad
in His Cause, and belief in His Words, that He will either admit
him
into Paradise or return him with his reward or the booty he has
earned
to his residence from where he went out." (See Hadith No. 555).

Narrated Abu Musa:

A man came to the Prophet and said, "A man fights for pride and
haughtiness another fights for bravery, and another fights for
showing
off; which of these (cases) is in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said,

"The one who fights that Allah's Word (Islam) should be superior,
fights in Allah's Cause." (See Hadith No. 65, Vol. 4)

Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba:

I heard the Prophet saying, "Some people from my followers will
continue to be victorious over others till Allah's Order (The Hour)
is
established." (See Hadith No. 414)

Narrated Muawiya:

I heard the Prophet saying, "A group of my followers will keep on
following Allah's Laws strictly and they will not be harmed by
those
who will disbelieve them or stand against them till Allah's Order
(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! "

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."

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."

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)

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).

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.' "

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."

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).

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."

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.

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)

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."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "For every Prophet there is one invocation
which
is definitely fulfilled by Allah, and I wish, if Allah will, to
keep
my that (special) invocation as to be the intercession for my
followers on the Day of Resurrection."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself (in a
dream)
standing by a well. I drew from it as much water as Allah wished me
to
draw, and then Ibn Quhafa (Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and
drew
one or two buckets, and there was weakness in his drawing----may
Allah
forgive him! Then 'Umar took the bucket which turned into something

like a big drum. I had never seen a powerful man among the people
working as perfectly and vigorously as he did. (He drew so much
water
that) the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their
camels
that knelt down there. (See Hadith No. 16, Vol. 5)

Narrated Abu Musa:

Whenever a beggar or a person in need of something came to the
Prophet
, he used to say (to his companions), "Intercede (for him) and you
will be rewarded for that, and Allah will fulfill what He will
through
His Apostle's tongue."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "None of you should say: 'O Allah! Forgive me if

You wish,' or 'Bestow Your Mercy on me if You wish,' or 'Provide me

with means of subsistence if You wish,' but he should be firm in
his
request, for Allah does what He will and nobody can force Him (to
do
anything)."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

That he differed with Al-Hurr bin Qais bin Hisn Al-Fazari about the

companion of Moses, (i.e., whether he was Kha,dir or not). Ubai bin

Ka'b Al-Ansari passed by them and Ibn 'Abbas called him saying, 'My

friend (Hur) and I have differed about Moses' Companion whom Moses
asked the way to meet. Did you hear Allah's Apostle mentioning
anything about him?" Ubai said, "Yes, I heard Allah's Apostle
saying,
"While Moses was sitting in the company of some Israelites a man
came
to him and asked, 'Do you know Someone who is more learned than you

(Moses)?' Moses said, 'No.' So Allah sent the Divine inspiration to

Moses:--

'Yes, Our Slave Khadir is more learned than you' Moses asked Allah
how
to meet him ( Khadir) So Allah made the fish as a sign for him and
it
was said to him, 'When you lose the fish, go back (to the place
where
you lose it) and you will meet him.' So Moses went on looking for
the
sign of the fish in the sea. The boy servant of Moses (who was
accompanying him) said to him, 'Do you remember (what happened)
when
we betook ourselves to the rock? I did indeed forget to tell you
(about) the fish. None but Satan made me forget to tell you about
it'
(18.63) Moses said:

'That is what we have been seeking." Sa they went back retracing
their
footsteps. (18.64). So they both found Kadir (there) and then
happened
what Allah mentioned about them (in the Quran)!' (See 18.60-82)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "If Allah will, tomorrow we will encamp in
Khaif
Bani Kinana, the place where the pagans took the oath of Kufr
(disbelief) against the Prophet. He meant Al-Muhassab. (See
Hadith No. 659, Vol. 2)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

The Prophet besieged the people of Ta'if, but he did not conquer
it.
He said, "Tomorrow, if Allah will, we will return home. On this the

Muslims said, "Then we return without conquering it?" He said,
'Then
carry on fighting tomorrow." The next day many of them were
injured.
The Prophet said, "If Allah will, we will return home tomorrow." It

seemed that statement pleased them whereupon Allah's Apostle
smiled.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "When Allah ordains something on the Heaven the
angels beat with their wings in obedience to His Statement which
sounds like that of a chain dragged over a rock. His Statement:
"Until
when the fear is banished from their hearts, the Angels say, 'What
was
it that your Lord said?' 'They reply, '(He has said) the Truth. And
He
is the Most High, The Great. " (34.23)

Narrated Abu Huraira :

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah never listens to anything as He
listens
to the Prophet reciting Quran in a pleasant sweet sounding voice." A

companion of Abu Huraira said, "He means, reciting the Quran
aloud."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

The Prophet said, "Allah will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O
Adam!' Adam will reply, 'Labbaik wa Sa'daik! ' Then a loud Voice
will
be heard (Saying) 'Allah Commands you to take out the mission of
the
Hell Fire from your offspring.' "

Narrated 'Aisha:

I never felt so jealous of any woman as I felt of Khadija, for
Allah
ordered him (the Prophet ) to give Khadija the glad tidings of a
palace in Paradise (for her).

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel,
saying, 'Allah loves so and so, O Gabriel love him' So Gabriel
would
love him and then would make an announcement in the Heavens: 'Allah

has loved so and-so therefore you should love him also.' So all the

dwellers of the Heavens would love him, and then he is granted the
pleasure of the people on the earth." (See Hadith No. 66, Vol. 8)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "There are angels coming to you in succession
at
night, and others during the day, and they all gather at the time
of
'Asr and Fajr prayers. Then the angels who have stayed with you
overnight ascend (to the heaven) and He (Allah) asks them though He

perfectly knows their affairs. 'In what state have you left my
slaves?' They say, 'When we left them, they were praying and when
we
came to them they were praying.' "

Narrated Abu Dharr:

The Prophet said, Gabriel came to me and gave me the glad tidings
that
anyone who died without worshipping anything besides Allah, would
enter Paradise. I asked (Gabriel), 'Even if he committed theft, and

even if he committed illegal sexual intercourse?' He said, '(Yes),
even if he committed theft, and even if he Committed illegal sexual

intercourse."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:

Allah's Apostle said, "O so-and-so, whenever you go to your bed
(for
sleeping) say, 'O Allah! I have surrendered myself over to you and
have turned my face towards You, and leave all my affairs to You
and
depend on You and put my trust in You expecting Your reward and
fearing Your punishment. There is neither fleeing from You nor
refuge
but with You. I believe in the Book (Qur'an) which You have
revealed
and in Your Prophet (Muhammad) whom You have sent.' If you then die
on
that night, then you will die as a Muslim, and if you wake alive in

the morning then you will receive the reward." (See
Hadith No. 323, Vol. 8)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa:

Allah's Apostle said on the Day of (the battle of) the Clans, "O
Allah! The Revealer of the Holy Book, The Quick Taker of Accounts!
Defeat the clans and shake them."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

(regarding the Verse):-- 'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it
in
a low tone.' (17.110) This Verse was revealed while Allah's Apostle

was hiding himself in Mecca, and when he raised his voice while
reciting the Qur'an, the pagans would hear him and abuse the Qur'an

and its Revealer and to the one who brought it. So Allah said:--

'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110)

That is, 'Do not say your prayer so loudly that the pagans can hear

you, nor say it in such a low tone that your companions do not hear

you.' But seek a middle course between those (extremes), i.e., let
your companions hear, but do not relate the Qur'an loudly, so that
they may learn it from you.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Allah said: "The son of Adam hurts Me by abusing

Time, for I am Time; in My Hands are all things and I cause the
revolution of night and day.' " (See Hadith No. 351, Vol. 6)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Allah said: The Fast is for Me and I will give
the
reward for it, as he (the one who observes the fast) leaves his
sexual
desire, food and drink for My Sake. Fasting is a screen (from Hell)

and there are two pleasures for a fasting person, one at the time
of
breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his
Lord. And the smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better in
Allah's Sight than the smell of musk." (See Hadith No. 128, Vol.
3).

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Once while Job (Aiyub) was taking a bath in a
naked
state. Suddenly a great number of gold locusts started falling upon

him and he started collecting them in his clothes. His Lord called
him, 'O Job! Didn't I make you rich enough to dispense with what
you
see now?' Job said, 'Yes, O Lord! But I cannot dispense with Your
Blessings

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Every night when it is the last third of the

night, our Lord, the Superior, the Blessed, descends to the nearest

heaven and says: Is there anyone to invoke Me that I may respond to

his invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me so that I may grant him
his
request? Is there anyone asking My forgiveness so that I may
forgive
him?. " (See Hadith No. 246,Vol. 2)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but will
be
the foremost on the Day of Resurrection." The narrators of this
Hadith
said: Allah said (to man), 'Spend (in charity), for then I will
compensate you (generously).' "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said that Gabriel said, "Here is Khadija coming to you
with a dish of food or a tumbler containing something to drink.
Convey
to her a greeting from her Lord (Allah) and give her the glad
tidings
that she will have a palace in Paradise built of Qasab wherein
there
will be neither any noise nor any fatigue (trouble)." (See
Hadith No. 168, Vol. 5)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

the Prophet said, "Allah said, "I have prepared for My righteous
slaves (such excellent things) as no eye has ever seen, nor an ear
has
ever heard nor a human heart can ever think of.' "

Narrated Ibn Abbas:

Whenever the Prophet offered the night (Tahajjud) prayer, he used
to
say, "O Allah! All the Praises are for You; You are the Light of
the
Heavens and the Earth. And all the Praises are for You; You are the

Keeper of the Heavens and the Earth. All the Praises are for You;
You
are the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is therein.
You
are the Truth, and Your Promise is the Truth, and Your Speech is
the
Truth, and meeting You is the Truth, and Paradise is the Truth and
Hell (Fire) is the Truth and all the prophets are the Truth and the

Hour is the Truth. O Allah! I surrender to You, and believe in You,

and depend upon You, and repent to You, and in Your cause I fight
and
with Your orders I rule. So please forgive my past and future sins
and
those sins which I did in secret or in public. It is You Whom I
worship, None has the right to be worshipped except You ." (See
Hadith No. 329,Vol. 8)

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair:

Sa'id bin Al-Musaiyab, 'Alqama bin Waqqas and 'Ubaidullah bin
'Abdullah regarding the narrating of the forged statement against
'Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, when the slanderers said what they

said and Allah revealed her innocence. 'Aisha said, "But by Allah, I

did not think that Allah, (to confirm my innocence), would reveal
Divine Inspiration which would be recited, for I consider myself
too
unimportant to be talked about by Allah through Divine Inspiration
revealed for recitation, but I hoped that Allah's Apostle might
have a
dream in which Allah would reveal my innocence. So Allah
revealed:--
'Verily! Those who spread the slander are a gang among you...' (The

ten Verses in Surat-an-Nur) (24.11-20)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah says, "If My slave intends to do a bad

deed then (O Angels) do not write it unless he does it; if he does
it,
then write it as it is, but if he refrains from doing it for My
Sake,
then write it as a good deed (in his account). (On the other hand)
if
he intends to go a good deed, but does not do it, then write a good

deed (in his account), and if he does it, then write it for him (in

his account) as ten good deeds up to seven-hundred times.' "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah created the creation, and when He
finished from His creation the Rahm (womb) got up, and Allah said
(to
it). "Stop! What do you want? It said; "At this place I seek refuge

with You from all those who sever me (i.e. sever the ties of
Kinship.)" Allah said: "Would you be pleased that I will keep good
relation with the one who will keep good relation with you, and I
will
sever the relation with the one who will sever the relation with
you.
It said: 'Yes, 'O my Lord.' Allah said (to it), 'That is for you.''

And then Abu Huraira recited the Verse:-- "Would you then if you
were
given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties
of
kinship." (47.22)

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid:

It rained (because of the Prophet's invocation for rain) and the
Prophet said, "Allah said, 'Some of My slaves have become
disbelievers
in Me, and some others, believers in Me.'"

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'If My slaves loves the meeting
with Me, I too love the meeting with him; and if he dislikes the
meeting with Me, I too dislike the meeting with him.' " (See
Hadith No. 514, Vol. 8)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'I am to my slave as he thinks
of
Me, (i.e. I am able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him).

(See Hadith No. 502)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "A man who never did any good deed, said that
if
he died, his family should burn him and throw half the ashes of his

burnt body in the earth and the other half in the sea, for by
Allah,
if Allah should get hold of him, He would inflict such punishment
on
him as He would not inflict on anybody among the people. But Allah
ordered the sea to collect what was in it (of his ashes) and
similarly
ordered the earth to collect what was in it (of his ashes). Then
Allah
said (to the recreated man ), 'Why did you do so?' The man replied,

'For being afraid of You, and You know it (very well).' So Allah
forgave him."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard the Prophet saying, "If somebody commits a sin and then
says,
'O my Lord! I have sinned, please forgive me!' and his Lord says,
'My
slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes
for
it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sins).' Then he remains

without committing any sin for a while and then again commits
another
sin and says, 'O my Lord, I have committed another sin, please
forgive
me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who
forgives sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my
slave
(his sin). Then he remains without Committing any another sin for a

while and then commits another sin (for the third time) and says,
'O
my Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,' and
Allah
says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and
punishes for it I therefore have forgiven My slave (his sin), he
can
do whatever he likes."

Narrated Abu Said:

The Prophet mentioned a man from the people of the past or those
who
preceded you. The Prophet said a sentence meaning: Allah had given
him
wealth and children. When his death approached, he said to his
sons,
"What kind of father have I been to you?" They replied, "You have
been
a good father." He told them that he had not presented any good
deed
before Allah, and if Allah should get hold of him He would punish
him.' "So look!" he added, "When I die, burn me, and when I turn
into
coal, crush me, and when there comes a windy day, scatter my ashes
in
the wind." The Prophet added, "Then by Allah, he took a firm
promise
from his children to do so, and they did so. (They burnt him after
his
death) and threw his ashes on a windy day. Then Allah commanded to
his
ashes. "Be," and behold! He became a man standing! Allah said, "O
My
slave! What made you do what you did?" He replied, "For fear of
You."
Nothing saved him then but Allah's Mercy (So Allah forgave him).

Narrated Anas:

I heard the Prophet saying, "On the Day of Resurrection I will
intercede and say, "O my Lord! Admit into Paradise (even) those who

have faith equal to a mustard seed in their hearts." Such people
will
enter Paradise, and then I will say, 'O (Allah) admit into Paradise

(even) those who have the least amount of faith in their hearts."
Anas
then said: As if I were just now looking at the fingers of Allah's
Apostle.

Narrated Ma'bad bin Hilal Al'Anzi:

We, i.e., some people from Basra gathered and went to Anas bin
Malik,
and we went in company with Thabit Al-Bunnani so that he might ask
him
about the Hadith of Intercession on our behalf. Behold, Anas was in

his palace, and our arrival coincided with his Duha prayer. We
asked
permission to enter and he admitted us while he was sitting on his
bed. We said to Thabit, "Do not ask him about anything else first
but
the Hadith of Intercession." He said, "O Abu Hamza! There are your
brethren from Basra coming to ask you about the Hadith of
Intercession." Anas then said, "Muhammad talked to us saying, 'On
the
Day of Resurrection the people will surge with each other like
waves,
and then they will come to Adam and say, 'Please intercede for us
with
your Lord.' He will say, 'I am not fit for that but you'd better go
to
Abraham as he is the Khalil of the Beneficent.' They will go to
Abraham and he will say, 'I am not fit for that, but you'd better
go
to Moses as he is the one to whom Allah spoke directly.' So they
will
go to Moses and he will say, 'I am not fit for that, but you'd
better
go to Jesus as he is a soul created by Allah and His Word.' (Be:
And
it was) they will go to Jesus and he will say, 'I am not fit for
that,
but you'd better go to Muhammad.'

They would come to me and I would say, 'I am for that.' Then I will

ask for my Lord's permission, and it will be given, and then He
will
inspire me to praise Him with such praises as I do not know now. So
I
will praise Him with those praises and will fall down, prostrate
before Him. Then it will be said, 'O Muhammad, raise your head and
speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for your will be
granted
(your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be
accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers! My followers!' And
then
it will be said, 'Go and take out of Hell (Fire) all those who have

faith in their hearts, equal to the weight of a barley grain.' I
will
go and do so and return to praise Him with the same praises, and
fall
down (prostrate) before Him. Then it will be said, 'O Muhammad,
raise
your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask, for you
will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your
intercession
will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers! My
followers!'
It will be said, 'Go and take out of it all those who have faith in

their hearts equal to the weight of a small ant or a mustard seed.'
I
will go and do so and return to praise Him with the same praises,
and
fall down in prostration before Him. It will be said, 'O, Muhammad,

raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to, and ask,
for
you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your
intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O Lord, my followers!'

Then He will say, 'Go and take out (all those) in whose hearts
there
is faith even to the lightest, lightest mustard seed. (Take them)
out
of the Fire.' I will go and do so."'

When we left Anas, I said to some of my companions, "Let's pass by
Al-Hasan who is hiding himself in the house of Abi Khalifa and
request
him to tell us what Anas bin Malik has told us." So we went to him
and
we greeted him and he admitted us. We said to him, "O Abu Said! We
came to you from your brother Anas Bin Malik and he related to us a

Hadith about the intercession the like of which I have never
heard."
He said, "What is that?" Then we told him of the Hadith and said,
"He
stopped at this point (of the Hadith)." He said, "What then?" We
said,
"He did not add anything to that." He said, Anas related the Hadith
to
me twenty years ago when he was a young fellow. I don't know
whether
he forgot or if he did not like to let you depend on what he might
have said." We said, "O Abu Said ! Let us know that." He smiled and

said, "Man was created hasty. I did not mention that, but that I
wanted to inform you of it.

Anas told me the same as he told you and said that the Prophet
added,
'I then return for a fourth time and praise Him similarly and
prostrate before Him me the same as he 'O Muhammad, raise your head

and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be
granted (your request): and intercede, for your intercession will
be
accepted .' I will say, 'O Lord, allow me to intercede for whoever
said, 'None has the right to be worshiped except Allah.' Then Allah

will say, 'By my Power, and my Majesty, and by My Supremacy, and by
My
Greatness, I will take out of Hell (Fire) whoever said: 'None has
the
right to be worshipped except Allah.' ''

Narrated 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "The person who will be the last one to enter

Paradise and the last to come out of Hell (Fire) will be a man who
will come out crawling, and his Lord will say to him, 'Enter
Paradise.' He will reply, 'O Lord, Paradise is full.' Allah will
give
him the same order thrice, and each time the man will give Him the
same reply, i.e., 'Paradise is full.' Thereupon Allah will say (to
him), 'Ten times of the world is for you.' "

Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim:

Allah's Apostle said, "There will be none among you but his Lord
will
talk to him, and there will be no interpreter between him and
Allah.
He will look to his right and see nothing but his deeds which he
has
sent forward, and will look to his left and see nothing but his
deeds
which he has sent forward, and will look in front of him and see
nothing but the (Hell) Fire facing him. So save yourself from the
(Hell) Fire even with half a date (given in charity)." Al-A'mash
said:
'Amr bin Murra said, Khaithama narrated the same and added, '..even

with a good word.' "

Narrated 'Abdullah:

A priest from the Jews came (to the Prophet) and said, "On the Day
of
Resurrection, Allah will place all the heavens on one finger, and
the
Earth on one finger, and the waters and the land on one finger, and

all the creation on one finger, and then He will shake them and
say.
'I am the King! I am the King!'" I saw the Prophet smiling till his

premolar teeth became visible expressing his amazement and his
belief
in what he had said. Then the Prophet recited: 'No just estimate
have
they made of Allah such as due to Him (up to)...; High is He above
the
partners they attribute to Him.' (39.67)

Narrated Safwan bin Muhriz:

A man asked Ibn 'Umar, "What have you heard from Allah's Apostle
regarding An-Najwa?" He said, "Everyone of you will come close to
His
Lord Who will screen him from the people and say to him, 'Did you
do
so-and-so?' He will reply, 'Yes.' Then Allah will say, 'Did you do
so-and-so?' He will reply, 'Yes.' So Allah will question him and
make
him confess, and then Allah will say, 'I screened your sins in the
world and forgive them for you today.' "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Adam and Moses debated with each other and Moses

said, 'You are Adam who turned out your offspring from Paradise.'
Adam
said, "You are Moses whom Allah chose for His Message and for His
direct talk, yet you blame me for a matter which had been ordained
for
me even before my creation?' Thus Adam overcame Moses."

Narrated Anas:

Allah's Apostle said, "The believers will be assembled on the Day
of
Resurrection and they will say, 'Let us look for someone to
intercede
for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of
ours.' So they will go to Adam and say, 'You are Adam, the father
of
mankind, and Allah created you with His Own Hands and ordered the
Angels to prostrate before you, and He taught you the names of all
things; so please intercede for us with our Lord so that He may
relieve us.' Adam will say, to them, 'I am not fit for that,' and
then
he will mention to them his mistake which he has committed.' "

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The night Allah's Apostle was taken for a journey from the sacred
mosque (of Mecca) Al-Ka'ba: Three persons came to him (in a dreamy
while he was sleeping in the Sacred Mosque before the Divine
Inspiration was revealed to Him. One of them said, "Which of them
is
he?" The middle (second) angel said, "He is the best of them." The
last (third) angle said, "Take the best of them." Only that much
happened on that night and he did not see them till they came on
another night, i.e. after The Divine Inspiration was revealed to
him.
(Fateh-Al-Bari Page 258, Vol. 17) and he saw them, his eyes were
asleep but his heart was not----and so is the case with the
prophets:
their eyes sleep while their hearts do not sleep. So those angels
did
not talk to him till they carried him and placed him beside the
well
of Zam-Zam. From among them Gabriel took charge of him. Gabriel cut

open (the part of his body) between his throat and the middle of
his
chest (heart) and took all the material out of his chest and
abdomen
and then washed it with Zam-Zam water with his own hands till he
cleansed the inside of his body, and then a gold tray containing a
gold bowl full of belief and wisdom was brought and then Gabriel
stuffed his chest and throat blood vessels with it and then closed
it
(the chest). He then ascended with him to the heaven of the world
and
knocked on one of its doors.

The dwellers of the Heaven asked, 'Who is it?' He said, "Gabriel."
They said, "Who is accompanying you?" He said, "Muhammad." They
said,
"Has he been called?" He said, "Yes" They said, "He is welcomed."
So
the dwellers of the Heaven became pleased with his arrival, and
they
did not know what Allah would do to the Prophet on earth unless
Allah
informed them. The Prophet met Adam over the nearest Heaven.
Gabriel
said to the Prophet, "He is your father; greet him." The Prophet
greeted him and Adam returned his greeting and said, "Welcome, O my

Son! O what a good son you are!" Behold, he saw two flowing rivers,

while he was in the nearest sky. He asked, "What are these two
rivers,
O Gabriel?" Gabriel said, "These are the sources of the Nile and
the
Euphrates."

Then Gabriel took him around that Heaven and behold, he saw another

river at the bank of which there was a palace built of pearls and
emerald. He put his hand into the river and found its mud like musk

Adhfar. He asked, "What is this, O Gabriel?" Gabriel said, "This is

the Kauthar which your Lord has kept for you." Then Gabriel
ascended
(with him) to the second Heaven and the angels asked the same
questions as those on the first Heaven, i.e., "Who is it?" Gabriel
replied, "Gabriel". They asked, "Who is accompanying you?" He said,

"Muhammad." They asked, "Has he been sent for?" He said, "Yes."
Then
they said, "He is welcomed.'' Then he (Gabriel) ascended with the
Prophet to the third Heaven, and the angels said the same as the
angels of the first and the second Heavens had said.

Then he ascended with him to the fourth Heaven and they said the
same;
and then he ascended with him to the fifth Heaven and they said the

same; and then he ascended with him to the sixth Heaven and they
said
the same; then he ascended with him to the seventh Heaven and they
said the same. On each Heaven there were prophets whose names he
had
mentioned and of whom I remember Idris on the second Heaven, Aaron
on
the fourth Heavens another prophet whose name I don't remember, on
the
fifth Heaven, Abraham on the sixth Heaven, and Moses on the seventh

Heaven because of his privilege of talking to Allah directly. Moses

said (to Allah), "O Lord! I thought that none would be raised up
above
me."

But Gabriel ascended with him (the Prophet) for a distance above
that,
the distance of which only Allah knows, till he reached the Lote
Tree
(beyond which none may pass) and then the Irresistible, the Lord of

Honor and Majesty approached and came closer till he (Gabriel) was
about two bow lengths or (even) nearer. (It is said that it was
Gabriel who approached and came closer to the Prophet. (Fate
Al-Bari
Page 263, 264, Vol. 17). Among the things which Allah revealed to
him
then, was: "Fifty prayers were enjoined on his followers in a day
and
a night."

Then the Prophet descended till he met Moses, and then Moses
stopped
him and asked, "O Muhammad ! What did your Lord en join upon you?"
The
Prophet replied," He enjoined upon me to perform fifty prayers in a

day and a night." Moses said, "Your followers cannot do that; Go
back
so that your Lord may reduce it for you and for them." So the
Prophet
turned to Gabriel as if he wanted to consult him about that issue.
Gabriel told him of his opinion, saying, "Yes, if you wish." So
Gabriel ascended with him to the Irresistible and said while he was
in
his place, "O Lord, please lighten our burden as my followers
cannot
do that." So Allah deducted for him ten prayers where upon he
returned
to Moses who stopped him again and kept on sending him back to his
Lord till the enjoined prayers were reduced to only five prayers.

Then Moses stopped him when the prayers had been reduced to five
and
said, "O Muhammad! By Allah, I tried to persuade my nation, Bani
Israel to do less than this, but they could not do it and gave it
up.
However, your followers are weaker in body, heart, sight and
hearing,
so return to your Lord so that He may lighten your burden."

The Prophet turned towards Gabriel for advice and Gabriel did not
disapprove of that. So he ascended with him for the fifth time. The

Prophet said, "O Lord, my followers are weak in their bodies,
hearts,
hearing and constitution, so lighten our burden." On that the
Irresistible said, "O Muhammad!" the Prophet replied, "Labbaik and
Sa'daik." Allah said, "The Word that comes from Me does not change,
so
it will be as I enjoined on you in the Mother of the Book." Allah
added, "Every good deed will be rewarded as ten times so it is
fifty
(prayers) in the Mother of the Book (in reward) but you are to
perform
only five (in practice)."

The Prophet returned to Moses who asked, "What have you done?" He
said, "He has lightened our burden: He has given us for every good
deed a tenfold reward." Moses said, "By Allah! I tried to make Bani

Israel observe less than that, but they gave it up. So go back to
your
Lord that He may lighten your burden further." Allah's Apostle
said,
"O Moses! By Allah, I feel shy of returning too many times to my
Lord." On that Gabriel said, "Descend in Allah's Name." The Prophet

then woke while he was in the Sacred Mosque (at Mecca).

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:

The Prophet said, "Allah will say to the people of Paradise, "O the

people of Paradise!" They will say, 'Labbaik, O our Lord, and
Sa'daik,
and all the good is in Your Hands!' Allah will say, "Are you
satisfied?' They will say, 'Why shouldn't we be satisfied, O our
Lord
as You have given us what You have not given to any of Your created

beings?' He will say, 'Shall I not give you something better than
that?' They will say, 'O our Lord! What else could be better than
that?' He will say, 'I bestow My Pleasure on you and will never be
angry with you after that.' "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Once the Prophet was preaching while a bedouin was sitting there.
The
Prophet said, "A man from among the people of Paradise will request

Allah to allow him to cultivate the land Allah will say to him,
'Haven't you got whatever you desire?' He will reply, 'yes, but I
like
to cultivate the land (Allah will permit him and) he will sow the
seeds, and within seconds the plants will grow and ripen and (the
yield) will be harvested and piled in heaps like mountains. On that

Allah will say (to him), "Take, here you are, O son of Adam, for
nothing satisfies you.' "On that the bedouin said, "O Allah's
Apostle!
Such man must be either from Quraish or from Ansar, for they are
farmers while we are not." On that Allah's Apostle smiled .

Narrated 'Abdullah:

I asked Allah's Apostle "What is the biggest sin in the sight of
Allah?" He said, "To set up rivals unto Allah though He alone
created
you." I said, "In fact, that is a tremendous sin," and added, "What

next?" He said, "To kill your son being afraid that he may share
your
food with you." I further asked, "What next?" He said, "To commit
illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor."

Narrated 'Abdullah:

Two person of Bani Thaqif and one from Quarish (or two persons from

Quraish and one from Bani Thaqif) who had fat bellies but little
wisdom, met near the Ka'ba. One of them said, "Did you see that
Allah
hears what we say? " The other said, "He hears us if we speak
aloud,
but He does not hear if we speak in stealthy quietness (softly)."
The
third fellow said, "If He hears when we speak aloud, then He surely

hears us if we speak in stealthy quietness (softly)." So Allah
revealed the Verse:--

'And you have not been screening against yourselves, lest your
ears,
and your eyes and your skins should testify against you..."
(41.22)

Narrated 'Ikrima:

Ibn 'Abbas said, "How can you ask the people of the Scriptures
about
their Books while you have Allah's Book (the Qur'an) which is the
most
recent of the Books revealed by Allah, and you read it in its pure
undistorted form?"

Narrated 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah:

'Abdullah bin 'Abbas said, "O the group of Muslims! How can you ask

the people of the Scriptures about anything while your Book which
Allah has revealed to your Prophet contains the most recent news
from
Allah and is pure and not distorted? Allah has told you that the
people of the Scriptures have changed some of Allah's Books and
distorted it and wrote something with their own hands and said,
'This
is from Allah, so as to have a minor gain for it. Won't the
knowledge
that has come to you stop you from asking them? No, by Allah, we
have
never seen a man from them asking you about that (the Book
Al-Qur'an )
which has been revealed to you.

Narrated Musa bin Abi 'Aisha:

Sa'id bin Jubair reported from Ibn 'Abbas (regarding the
explanation
of the Verse: 'Do not move your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to
make
haste therewith) . He said, "The Prophet used to undergo great
difficulty in receiving the Divine Inspiration and used to move his

lips.' Ibn 'Abbas said (to Sa'id), "I move them (my lips) as
Allah's
Apostle used to move his lips." And Said said (to me), "I move my
lips
as I saw Ibn 'Abbas moving his lips," and then he moved his lips.
So
Allah revealed:--

'(O Muhammad!) Do not move your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to
make
haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it and give you (O
Muhammad)
the ability to recite it. (i.e., to collect it in your chest and
then
you recite it).' (75.16-17) But when We have recited it, to you (O
Muhammad through Gabriel) then follow you its recital.' (75.18)
This
means, "You should listen to it and keep quiet and then it is upon
Us
to make you recite it."

The narrator added, "So Allah's Apostle used to listen whenever
Gabriel came to him, and when Gabriel left, the Prophet would
recite
the Qur'an as Gabriel had recited it to him."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

regarding the explanation of the Verse:-- '(O Muhammad!) Neither
say
your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110) This Verse

was revealed while Allah's Apostle was hiding himself at Mecca. At
that time, when he led his companions in prayer, he used to raise
his
voice while reciting the Qur'an; and if the pagans heard him, they
would abuse the Qur'an, its Revealer, and the one who brought it.
So
Allah said to His Prophet: "Neither say your prayer aloud. i.e.,
your
recitation (of Qur'an) lest the pagans should hear (it) and abuse
the
Quran" nor say it in a low tone, "lest your voice should fail to
reach
your companions, "but follow a way between." (17.110)

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Verse:-- '(O Muhammad!) Neither say your prayer aloud nor say
it
in a low tone.' (17.110) was revealed in connection with the
invocations.

Narrated Abu Salama:

Abu Huraira said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'Whoever does not recite
Qur'an in a nice voice is not from us,' and others said extra,"
(that
means) to recite it aloud."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Not to wish to be the like of except the
like
of two men: a man whom Allah has given the Qur'an and he recites it

during the hours of the night and the hours of the day, in which
case
one may say, "If I were given the same as this man has been given, I

would do the same as he is doing.' The other is a man whom Allah
has
given wealth and he spends it in the right way, in which case one
may
say, 'If I were given the same as he has been given, I would do the

same as he is doing."

Narrated Salim's father:

The Prophet said, "Not to wish to be the like of except the like
of
two (persons): a man whom Allah has given the knowledge of the
Quran
and he recites it during the hours of the night and the hours of
the
day; and a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it (in
Allah's Cause) during the hours of the night and during the hours
of
the day."

Narrated Al-Mughira:

Our Prophet has informed us our Lord's Message that whoever of us
is
martyred, will go to Paradise.

Narrated 'Aisha:

Whoever tells you that the Prophet concealed something of the
Divine
Inspiration, do not believe him, for Allah said: 'O Apostle
Muhammad!
Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your
Lord,
and if you do it not, then you have not conveyed His Message.'
(5.67)

Narrated 'Abdullah:

A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Which sin is the biggest in Allah's

Sight?" The Prophet said, "To set up rivals unto Allah though He
Alone
created you." That man said, "What is next?" The Prophet said, "To
kill your son lest he should share your food with you.'' The man
said,
"What is next?" The Prophet said, "To commit illegal sexual
intercourse with the wife of your neighbor." Then Allah revealed in

confirmation of that: "And those who invoke not with Allah any
other
god, nor kill such life as Allah has made sacred except for just
cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this
shall receive the punishment..... (25.68)

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "Your stay (in this world) in comparison to
the
stay of the nations preceding you, is like the period between 'Asr
prayer and the sun set (in comparison to a whole day). The people
of
the Torah were given the Torah and they acted on it till midday and

then they were unable to carry on. And they were given (a reward
equal
to) one Qirat each. Then the people of the Gospel were given the
Gospel and they acted on it till 'Asr Prayer and then they were
unable
to carry on, so they were given la reward equal to) one Qirat each.

Then you were given the Qur'an and you acted on it till sunset,
therefore you were given (a reward equal to) two Qirats each. On
that,
the people of the Scriptures said, 'These people (Muslims) did less

work than we but they took a bigger reward.' Allah said (to them).
'Have I done any oppression to you as regards your rights?' They
said,
"No." Then Allah said, 'That is My Blessing which I grant to
whomsoever I will.' "

Narrated Ibn Mas'ud:

A man asked the Prophet "What deeds are the best?" The Prophet
said:
(1) To perform the (daily compulsory) prayers at their (early)
stated
fixed times, (2) To be good and dutiful to one's own parents. (3)
and
to participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause."

Narrated Al-Hasan:

'Amr bin Taghlib said, "Some property was given to the Prophet and
he
gave it to some people and withheld it from some others. Then he
came
to know that they (the latter) were dissatisfied. So the Prophet
said,
'I give to one man and leave (do not give) another, and the one to
whom I do not give is dearer to me than the one to whom I give. I
give
to some people because of the impatience and discontent present in
their hearts, and leave other people because of the content and
goodness Allah has bestowed on them, and one of them is 'Amr bin
Taghlib." 'Amr bin Taghlib said, "The sentence which Allah's
Apostle
said in my favor is dearer to me than the possession of nice red
camels."

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet said, "My Lord says, 'If My slave comes nearer to me
for a
span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me
for
a cubit, I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms; and
if
he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.' "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Perhaps the Prophet mentioned the following (as Allah's Saying):
"If
My slave comes nearer to Me for a span, I go nearer to him for a
cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit; I go nearer to him

for the span of outstretched arms. (See Hadith No. 502)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said that your Lord said, "Every (sinful) deed can be
expiated; and the fast is for Me, so I will give the reward for it;

and the smell which comes out of the mouth of a fasting person, is
better in Allah's Sight than the smell of musk." (See Hadith No.
584)

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said that his Lord said: "It does not befit a slave
that
he should say that he is better than Jonah (Yunus) bin Matta.

Narrated Shu'ba:

Mu'awiya bin Qurra reported that 'Abdullah bin Al-Maghaffal
Al-Muzani
said, "I saw Allah's Apostle on the day of the Conquest of Mecca,
riding his she-camel and reciting Surat-al-Fath (48) or part of
Surat-al-Fath. He recited it in a vibrating and pleasant voice.
Then
Mu'awiya recited as 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal had done and said,
"Were I
not afraid that the people would crowd around me, I would surely
recite in a vibrating pleasant voice as Ibn Mughaffal did,
imitating
the Prophet." I asked Muawiya, "How did he recite in that tone?" He

said thrice, "A, A , A."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The people of the Scripture used to read the Torah in Hebrew and
explain it to the Muslims in Arabic. Then Allah's Apostle said, "Do

not believe the people of the Scripture, and do not disbelieve
them,
but say, 'We believe in Allah and whatever has been revealed...'
(3.84)

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

A Jew and Jewess were brought to the Prophet on a charge of
committing
an illegal sexual intercourse. The Prophet asked the Jews, "What do

you (usually) do with them?" They said, "We blacken their faces and

disgrace them." He said, "Bring here the Torah and recite it, if
you
are truthful." They (fetched it and) came and asked a one-eyed man
to
recite. He went on reciting till he reached a portion on which he
put
his hand. The Prophet said, "Lift up your hand!" He lifted his hand
up
and behold, there appeared the verse of Ar-Rajm (stoning of the
adulterers to death). Then he said, "O Muhammad! They should be
stoned
to death but we conceal this Divine Law among ourselves." Then the
Prophet ordered that the two sinners be stoned to death and, and
they
were stoned to death, and I saw the man protecting the woman from
the
stones. (See Hadith No. 809, Vol. 8)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

that he heard the Prophet saying, "Allah does not listen to
anything
as He listens to the recitation of the Quran by a Prophet who
recites
it in attractive audible sweet sounding voice."

Narrated 'Aisha:

(when the slanderers said what they said about her): I went to my
bed
knowing at that time that I was innocent and that Allah would
reveal
my innocence, but by Allah, I never thought that Allah would reveal
in
my favor a revelation which would be recited, for I considered
myself
too unimportant to be talked about by Allah in the Divine
Revelation
that was to be recited. So Allah revealed the ten Verses (of
Surat-an-Nur). 'Those who brought a false charge........'
(24.11-20)

Narrated Al-Bara':

I heard the Prophet reciting Surat at-Tin waz Zaitun (By the Fig
and
the Olive) in the 'Isha' prayer and I have never heard anybody with
a
better voice or recitation than his.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet was hiding himself in Mecca and used to recite the
(Qur'an) in a loud voice. When the pagans heard him they would
abuse
the Qur'an and the one who brought it, so Allah said to His
Prophet:
'Neither say your prayer aloud, nor say it in a low tone.' (17.110)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abdur-Rahman:

that Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said to him, "I see that you like sheep
and
the desert, so when you are looking after your sheep or when you
are
in the desert and want to pronounce the Adhan, raise your voice,
for
no Jinn, human being or any other things hear the Mu'adh-dhin's
voice
but will be a witness for him on the Day of Resurrection." Abu
Sa'id
added, "I heard this from Allah's Apostle."

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet used to recite the Quran with his head in my lap while I

used to be in my periods (having menses).

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

I heard Hisham bin Hakim reciting Surat-al-Furqan during the
lifetime
of Allah's Apostle, I listened to his recitation and noticed that
he
was reciting in a way that Allah's Apostle had not taught me. I was

about to jump over him while He was still in prayer, but I waited
patiently and when he finished his prayer, I put my sheet round his

neck (and pulled him) and said, "Who has taught you this Sura which
I
have heard you reciting?" Hisham said, "Allah's Apostle taught it
to
me." I said, "You are telling a lie, for he taught it to me in a
way
different from the way you have recited it!" Then I started leading

(dragged) him to Allah's Apostle and said (to the Prophet), " I
have
heard this man reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way that you have not
taught me." The Prophet said: "(O 'Umar) release him! Recite, O
Hisham." Hisham recited in the way I heard him reciting. Allah's
Apostle said, "It was revealed like this." Then Allah's Apostle
said,
"Recite, O 'Umar!" I recited in the way he had taught me, whereupon
he
said, "It was revealed like this," and added, "The Quran has been
revealed to be recited in seven different ways, so recite of it
whichever is easy for you ." (See Hadith No. 514, Vol. 6)

Narrated 'Imran:

I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why should a doer (people) try to do
good
deeds?' The Prophet said, "Everybody will find easy to do such
deeds
as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been
created.'

Narrated 'Ali:

While the Prophet was in a funeral procession, he took a stick and
started scraping the earth with it and said, "There is none of you
but
has his place assigned either in Hell or in Paradise." They (the
people) said, "Shall we not depend upon that (and give up doing any

deeds)?' He said, " Carry on doing (good deeds) for everybody will
find it easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined
place
for which he has been created ." (And then the Prophet recited the
Verse):-- 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to
Allah...' (92.5)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Before Allah created the
creations,
He wrote a Book (wherein He has written): My Mercy has preceded my
Anger." and that (Book) is written with Him over the Throne."

Narrated Zahdam:

There were good relations and brotherhood between this tribe of
Jurm
and the Ash'ariyyin. Once, while we were sitting with Abu Musa
Al-Ash'ari, there was brought to him a meal which contained chicken

meat, and there was sitting beside him, a man from the tribe of
Bani
Taimul-lah who looked like one of the Mawali. Abu Musa invited the
man
to eat but the man said, "I have seen chicken eating some dirty
things, and I have taken an oath not to eat chicken." Abu Musa said
to
him, "Come along, let me tell you something in this regard. Once I
went to the Prophet with a few men from Ash'ariyyin and we asked
him
for mounts. The Prophet said, By Allah, I will not mount you on
anything; besides I do not have anything to mount you on.' Then a
few
camels from the war booty were brought to the Prophet, and he asked

about us, saying, 'Where are the group of Ash'ariyyin?' So he
ordered
for five fat camels to be given to us and then we set out. We said,

'What have we done? Allah's Apostle took an oath that he would not
give us anything to ride and that he had nothing for us to ride,
yet
he provided us with mounts. We made Allah's Apostle forget his
oath!
By Allah, we will never be successful.' So we returned to him and
reminded him of his oath. He said, 'I have not provided you with
the
mount, but Allah has done so. By Allah, I may take an oath to do
something, but on finding something else which is better, I do that

which is better and make the expiation for my oath.' "

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The delegates of 'Abdul Qais came to Allah's Apostle and said, "The

pagans of the tribe of Mudar intervene between you and us therefore
we
cannot come to you except in the Holy months. So please order us to
do
something good (Religious deeds) by which we may enter Paradise (by

acting on them) and we may inform our people whom we have left
behind
to observe it." The Prophet said, "I order you to do four things
and
forbid you from four things: I order you to believe in Allah. Do
you
know what is meant by belief in Allah? It is to testify that none
has
the right to be worshipped except Allah, to offer prayers
perfectly,
to give Zakat, and to give Al-Khumus (one-fifth of the war booty)
(in
Allah's Cause). And I forbid you four things, (i.e., Do not drink
alcoholic drinks) Ad-Dubba, An-Naqir, (pitched water skins),
Az-Zuruf,
Al-Muzaffat and Al--Hantam (names of utensils used for the
preparation
of alcoholic drinks)." (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1)

Narrated Aisha:

Allah's Apostle said, "The painter of these pictures will be
punished
on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them, Make alive

what you have created.' "

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "The painters of these pictures will be punished
on
the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them, 'Make alive
what
you have created."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard the Prophet saying, "Allah said, 'Who are most unjust than
those who try to create something like My creation? I challenge
them
to create even a smallest ant, a wheat grain or a barley grain.' "

Narrated Abu Musa:

The Prophet said, 'The example of a believer who recites the Qur'an
is
that of a citron (a citrus fruit) which is good in taste and good
in
smell. And the believer who does not recite the Quran is like a
date
which has a good taste but no smell. And the example of an impious
person who recites the Qur'an is that of Ar-Rihana (an aromatic
plant)
which smells good but is bitter in taste. And the example of an
impious person who does not recite the Quran is that of a colocynth

which is bitter in taste and has no smell."

Narrated 'Aisha:

Some people asked the Prophet regarding the soothsayers. He said,
"They are nothing." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Some of their
talks
come true." The Prophet said, "That word which happens to be true
is
what a Jinn snatches away by stealth (from the Heaven) and pours it
in
the ears of his friend (the foreteller) with a sound like the
cackling
of a hen. The soothsayers then mix with that word, one hundred
lies."

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:

The Prophet said, "There will emerge from the East some people who
will recite the Qur'an but it will not exceed their throats and who

will go out of (renounce) the religion (Islam) as an arrow passes
through the game, and they will never come back to it unless the
arrow, comes back to the middle of the bow (by itself) (i.e.,
impossible). The people asked, "What will their signs be?" He said,

"Their sign will be the habit of shaving (of their beards). (Fateh
Al-Bari, Page 322, Vol. 17th)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "(There are) two words which are dear to the
Beneficent (Allah) and very light (easy) for the tongue (to say),
but
very heavy in weight in the balance. They are: 'Subhan Allah wa-bi
hamdihi' and 'Subhan Allah Al-'Azim." (See Hadith No. 673, Vol. 8).
