Selected Hadith Regarding [Jannat (Paradise) &
Jahannam (Hell)]
Jannat (Paradise)
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 2: Belief, Number 21:
Narrated Abu
Said Al-Khudri (R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "When the
people of Paradise will enter Paradise and the people of Hell will go to Hell,
ALLAH [S.W.T] will order those who have had faith equal to the weight of a
grain of mustard seed to be taken out from Hell. So they will be taken out but
(by then) they will be blackened (charred). Then they will be put in the river
of Haya' (rain) or Hayat (life) (the Narrator is in doubt as to which is the
right term), and they will revive like a grain that grows near the bank of a
flood channel. Don't you see that it comes out yellow and twisted?"
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 2: Belief, Number 35:
Narrated Abu
Huraira (R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "The person
who participates in (Holy battles) in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause and nothing compels
him to do so except belief in ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostles (P.B.U.T), will be
recompensed by ALLAH [S.W.T] either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or
will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a Martyr). Had I
not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain behind any
sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be Martyred in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Cause and then made alive, and then Martyred and then made alive, and then
again Martyred in HIS Cause."
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 2: Belief, Number 44:
Narrated Talha
bin 'Ubaidullah (R.A):
A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and we heard his loud voice but could not
understand what he was saying, till he came near and then we came to know that
he was asking about Islam. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "You
have to offer prayers perfectly five times in a day and night (24 hours)."
The man asked, "Is there any more (praying)?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] replied, "No, but if you want to offer the Nawafil prayers (you
can)." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] further said to him: "You
have to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." The man asked,
"Is there any more fasting?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
replied, "No, but if you want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you
can)." Then ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] further said to him,
"You have to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)." The man asked,
"Is there any thing other than the Zakat for me to pay?" ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, "No, unless you want to give alms of
your own." And then that man retreated saying, "By ALLAH [S.W.T]! I
will neither do less nor more than this." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] said, "If what he said is true, then he will be successful (i.e.
he will be granted Paradise)."
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 3: Knowledge, Number 56:
Narrated Abu
Huraira (R.A):
While the Prophet was saying something in a
gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday)
take place?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] continued his talk, so some
people said that ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] had heard the question, but
did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] had not heard it. When the Prophet [S.A.W.S]
finished his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about
the Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S]." Then the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "When honesty is
lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will
that be lost?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "When the power or
authority comes in the hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour
(Doomsday.)"
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 3: Knowledge, Number 86:
Narrated Asma
(R.A):
I came to 'Aisha (R.A) while she was praying,
and said to her, "What has happened to the people?" She pointed out
towards the sky. (I looked towards the Mosque), and saw the people offering the
prayer. 'Aisha (R.A) said, "Subhan ALLAH." I said to her, "Is
there a sign?" She nodded with her head meaning, "Yes." I, too,
then stood (for the prayer of eclipse) till I became (nearly) unconscious and
later on I poured water on my head. After the prayer, the Prophet [S.A.W.S]
Praised and Glorified ALLAH [S.W.T] and then said, "Just now at this place
I have seen what I have never seen before, including Paradise and Hell. No
doubt it has been inspired to me that you will be put to trials in your graves
and these trials will be like the trials of Masiah-ad-dajjal or nearly like it
(the sub narrator is not sure which expression Asma' (R.A) used). You will be
asked, 'What do you know about this man (the Prophet Muhammad [S.A.W.S])?' Then
the faithful believer (or Asma' (R.A) said a similar word) will reply, 'He is
Muhammad ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] who had come to us with clear
evidences and guidance and so we accepted his teachings and followed him. And
he is Muhammad [S.A.W.S].' And he will repeat it thrice. Then the Angels
(P.B.U.T) will say to him, 'Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you were
a faithful believer.' On the other hand, a hypocrite or a doubtful person will
reply, 'I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said
it.' (the same)."
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 4: Ablutions, Number 184:
Narrated Asma'
bint Abu Bakr (R.A):
I came to 'Aisha (R.A) the wife of the Prophet
[S.A.W.S] during the solar eclipse. The people were standing and offering the
prayer and she was also praying. I asked her, "What is wrong with the
people?" She beckoned with her hand towards the sky and said, "Subhan
ALLAH." I asked her, "Is there a sign?" She pointed out,
"Yes." So I, too, stood for the prayer till I fell unconscious and
later on I poured water on my head. After the prayer, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] Praised and Glorified ALLAH [S.W.T] and said, "Just now I have
seen something which I never saw before at this place of mine, including
Paradise and Hell. I have been inspired (and have understood) that you will be
put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of
Ad-dajjal, or nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure of what Asma' (R.A)
said). Angels (P.B.U.T) will come to every one of you and ask, 'What do you
know about this man?' A believer will reply, 'He is Muhammad [S.A.W.S], ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle, and he came to us with self-evident truth and guidance. So
we accepted his teaching, believed and followed him.' Then the Angels (P.B.U.T)
will say to him to sleep in peace as they have come to know that he was a
believer. On the other hand a hypocrite or a doubtful person will reply, 'I do
not know but heard the people saying something and so I said the same.'

him, 'Look at your place in the Hell-Fire. ALLAH [S.W.T] has given you a place
in Paradise instead of it.'" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] added, "The dead
person will see both his places. But a non-believer or a hypocrite will say to
the Angels (P.B.U.T), 'I do not know, but I used to say what the people used to
say! It will be said to him, 'Neither did you know nor did you take the
guidance (by reciting the Qur’an).' Then he will be hit with an iron hammer
between his two ears, and he will cry and that cry will be heard by whatever
approaches him except human beings and jinns."

four persons testify the piety of a Muslim, ALLAH [S.W.T] will grant him

bin Sad As-Sa'idi (R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and the
pagans faced each other and started fighting. When ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] returned to his camp and when the pagans returned to their camp,
somebody talked about a man amongst the Companions (R.A) of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] who would follow and kill with his sword any pagan going
alone. He said, "Nobody did his job (i.e. fighting) so properly today as
that man." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "Indeed, he is
amongst the people of the (Hell) Fire." A man amongst the people said,
"I shall accompany him (to watch what he does)" Thus he accompanied
him, and wherever he stood, he would stand with him, and wherever he ran, he
would run with him. Then the (brave) man got wounded seriously and he decided to
bring about his death quickly. He planted the blade of the sword in the ground
directing its sharp end towards his chest between his two breasts. Then he
leaned on the sword and killed himself. The other man came to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] and said, "I testify that you are ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S]." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] asked, "What has
happened?" He replied, "(It is about) the man whom you had described
as one of the people of the (Hell) Fire. The people were greatly surprised at
what you said, and I said, 'I will find out his reality for you.' So, I came
out seeking him. He got severely wounded and hastened to die by slanting the

write four things. He is ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature's)
deeds, his livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will be blessed or
wretched (in religion). Then the soul is breathed into him. So, a man amongst
you may do (good deeds till there is only a cubit between him and Paradise and
then what has been written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing
(evil) deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire. And similarly a

(salutations of your offspring." So, Adam (P.B.U.H) said (to the Angels
(P.B.U.T)), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The Angels (P.B.U.T)
said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace and ALLAH’s
Mercy be upon you). Thus the Angels (P.B.U.T) added to Adam (P.B.U.H)'s
salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (P.B.U.H) (in appearance and

deeds as are characteristic of the people who are destined to misery." The
Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Those who are destined to be happy (in the
Hereafter) will find it easy and pleasant to do the deeds characteristic of
those destined to happiness, while those who are to be among the miserable (in

and keeps his duty to ALLAH and believes in the Best reward from ALLAH, WE will

himself self sufficient, and gives the lie to the Best reward from ALLAH, WE

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

The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "I know the
person who will be the last to come out of the (Hell) Fire, and the last to
enter Paradise. He will be a man who will come out of the (Hell) Fire crawling,
and ALLAH [S.W.T] will say to him, 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will go to it,
but he will imagine that it had been filled, and then he will return and say,
'O LORD, I have found it full.' ALLAH [S.W.T] will say, 'Go and enter Paradise,
and you will have what equals the world and ten times as much (or, you will
have as much as ten times the like of the world).' On that, the man will say,
'Do you mock at me (or laugh at me) though YOU are the KING?" I saw ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] (while saying that) smiling that his premolar teeth
became visible. It is said that will be the lowest in degree amongst the people
of Paradise.

Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 9, Book 87: Interpretation of Dreams, Number 171:
Narrated Samura
bin Jundub (R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] very often
used to ask his companions (R.A), "Did anyone of you see a dream?" So
dreams would be narrated to him by those whom ALLAH [S.W.T] wished to tell. One
morning the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Last night two persons came to me (in
a dream) and woke me up and said to me, 'Proceed!' I set out with them and we
came across a man lying down, and behold, another man was standing over his head,
holding a big rock. Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man's head,
injuring it. The rock rolled away and the thrower followed it and took it back.
By the time he reached the man, his head returned to the normal state. The
thrower then did the same as he had done before. I said to my two companions
(P.B.U.T), 'Subhan ALLAH! Who are these two persons?' They said, 'Proceed!' So
we proceeded and came to a man lying flat on his back and another man standing
over his head with an iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side
of the man's mouth and tear off that side of his face to the back (of the neck)
and similarly tear his nose from front to back and his eye from front to back.
Then he turned to the other side of the man's face and did just as he had done
with the other side. He hardly completed this side when the other side returned
to its normal state. Then he returned to it to repeat what he had done before.
I said to my two companions (P.B.U.T), 'Subhan ALLAH! Who are these two
persons?' They said to me, 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came across something
like a Tannur (a kind of baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking
bread)." I think the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "In that oven there was
much noise and voices." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] added, "We looked into
it and found naked men and women, and behold, a flame of fire was reaching to
them from underneath, and when it reached them, they cried loudly. I asked
them, 'Who are these?' They said to me, 'Proceed!' And so we proceeded and came
across a river." I think he said, ".... red like blood." The
Prophet [S.A.W.S] added, "And behold, in the river there was a man
swimming, and on the bank there was a man who had collected many stones.
Behold, while the other man was swimming, he went near him. The former opened
his mouth and the latter (on the bank) threw a stone into his mouth whereupon
he went swimming again. He returned and every time the performance was
repeated, I asked my two companions (P.B.U.T), 'who are these (two) persons?'
They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' And we proceeded till we came to a man with a
repulsive appearance, the most repulsive appearance, you ever saw a man having!
Beside him there was a fire and he was kindling it and running around it. I
asked my companions (P.B.U.T), 'Who is this (man)?' They said to me, 'Proceed!
Proceed!' So we proceeded till we reached a garden of deep green dense
vegetation, having all sorts of spring colors. In the midst of the garden there
was a very tall man and I could hardly see his head because of his great
height, and around him there were children in such a large number as I have
never seen. I said to my companions (P.B.U.T), 'Who is this?' They replied,
'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we came to a majestic huge garden,
greater and better than I have ever seen! My two companions (P.B.U.T) said to
me, 'Go up and I went up' The Prophet [S.A.W.S] added, "So we ascended
till we reached a city built of gold and silver bricks and we went to its gate
and asked (the gatekeeper) to open the gate, and it was opened and we entered
the city and found in it, men with one side of their bodies as handsome as the
handsomest person you have ever seen, and the other side as ugly as the ugliest
person you have ever seen. My two companions (P.B.U.T) ordered those men to
throw themselves into the river. Behold, there was a river flowing across (the
city), and its water was like milk in whiteness. Those men went and threw
themselves in it and then returned to us after the ugliness (of their bodies)
had disappeared and they became in the best shape." The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
further added, "My two companions (Angels (P.B.U.T)) said to me, 'This
place is the Eden Paradise, and that is your place.' I raised up my sight, and
behold, there I saw a palace like a white cloud! My two companions (P.B.U.T)
said to me, 'That (palace) is your place.' I said to them, 'May ALLAH bless you
both! Let me enter it.' They replied, 'As for now, you will not enter it, but
you shall enter it (one day) I said to them, 'I have seen many wonders tonight.
What does all that mean which I have seen?' They replied, 'We will inform you:
As for the first man you came upon whose head was being injured with the rock,
he is the symbol of the one who studies the Qur’an and then neither recites it nor
acts on its orders, and sleeps, neglecting the enjoined prayers. As for the man
you came upon whose sides of mouth, nostrils and eyes were torn off from front
to back, he is the symbol of the man who goes out of his house in the morning
and tells so many lies that it spreads all over the world. And those naked men
and women whom you saw in a construction resembling an oven, they are the
adulterers and the adulteresses, and the man whom you saw swimming in the river
and given a stone to swallow, is the eater of usury (Riba) and the bad looking
man whom you saw near the fire kindling it and going round it, is Malik
(P.B.U.H), the gatekeeper of Hell and the tall man whom you saw in the garden,
is Abraham (P.B.U.H) and the children around him are those children who die
with Al-Fitra (the Islamic Faith)." The narrator added: Some Muslims asked
the Prophet [S.A.W.S], "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! What about
the children of pagans?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] replied, "And also the
children of pagans." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] added, "My two companions
(P.B.U.T) added, 'The men you saw half handsome and half ugly were those
persons who had mixed an act that was good with another that was bad, but ALLAH
[S.W.T] Forgave them.'"

bin 'Abdullah (R.A):
Some Angels (P.B.U.T) came to the Prophet
[S.A.W.S] while he was sleeping. Some of them said, "He is sleeping."
Others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake." Then
they said, "There is an example for this companion of yours." One of
them said, "Then set forth an example for him." Some of them said,
"He is sleeping." The others said, "His eyes are sleeping but
his heart is awake." Then they said, "His example is that of a man
who has built a house and then offered therein a banquet and sent an inviter
(messenger) to invite the people. So whoever accepted the invitation of the
inviter, entered the house and ate of the banquet, and whoever did not accept
the invitation of the inviter, did not enter the house, nor did he eat of the
banquet." Then the Angels (P.B.U.T) said, "Interpret this example to
him so that he may understand it." Some of them said, "He is
sleeping.'' The others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is
awake." And then they said, "The houses stands for Paradise
and the call maker is Muhammad [S.A.W.S]; and whoever obeys Muhammad [S.A.W.S],
obeys ALLAH [S.W.T]; and whoever disobeys Muhammad [S.A.W.S], disobeys ALLAH
[S.W.T]. Muhammad [S.A.W.S] separated the people (i.e. through his message, the
good is distinguished from the bad, and the believers from the
disbelievers)."

(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "ALLAH
[S.W.T] 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 (P.B.U.H) and say, 'O Adam (P.B.U.H)! Don't you see
the people (people's condition)? ALLAH [S.W.T] created you with HIS OWN Hands
and ordered HIS Angels (P.B.U.T) 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 (P.B.U.H) 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 (P.B.U.H) as he was the first Apostle sent by
ALLAH [S.W.T] to the people of the Earth.' They will go to Noah (P.B.U.H) 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 (P.B.U.H), Khalil Ar-Rahman.'
They will go to Abraham (P.B.U.H) 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 (P.B.U.H), a slave whom ALLAH [S.W.T] gave the Torah and to
whom HE spoke directly' They will go to Moses (P.B.U.H) 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 (P.B.U.H), ALLAH [S.W.T]’s slave and HIS Apostle
and HIS Word (Be: And it was) and a soul created by HIM.' They will go to Jesus
(P.B.U.H) who will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, but you'd better go
to Muhammad [S.A.W.S] whose sins of the past and the future had been forgiven
(by ALLAH [S.W.T]).' 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
[S.A.W.S]! 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 [S.W.T] 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 [S.A.W.S]! Raise your
head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted

then Praise my LORD with certain Praises which HE has taught me, and then I
will intercede. ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 [S.A.W.S]! 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 [S.W.T] 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 [S.A.W.S] 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

[S.A.W.S]) said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! Should we not
inform the people of that?" He said, "There are one-hundred degrees
in Paradise which ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] for anything, ask HIM for
the al-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."

Number 532c:
Narrated 'Ata'
bin Yazid Al-Laithi (R.A) on the authority of Abu Huraira (R.A):
The people said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle (R.A)! Shall we see our LORD on the Day of Resurrection?" The
Prophet (R.A) said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a
full moon night?" They said, "No, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
(R.A)." He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun when
there are no clouds?" They said, "No, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
(R.A)." He said, "So you will see HIM, like that. ALLAH [S.W.T] will
gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection, and say, 'Whoever Worshiped
something (in the world) should follow (that thing),' so, whoever Worshiped 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 (R.A) is in doubt.) ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] 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 (P.B.U.T). And the invocation of the Apostles (P.B.U.T) on that Day
will be, 'O ALLAH [S.W.T], 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.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]!" He
said, "So those hooks look like the thorns of As-Sa'dan, but none knows
how big they are except ALLAH [S.W.T]. 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 [S.W.T]
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 (P.B.U.T) to take out
of the Fire all those who used to Worship none but ALLAH [S.W.T] from among
those whom ALLAH [S.W.T] wanted to be Merciful to and those who testified (in
the world) that none has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T]. The
Angels (P.B.U.T) 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 [S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] in the way ALLAH [S.W.T] will wish him to invoke, and then
ALLAH [S.W.T] 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
[S.W.T] will demand. So ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] will wish him to remain quiet, then he will say, 'O my LORD!
Bring me near to the gate of Paradise.' ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 (P.B.U.H)'s son! How
treacherous you are!' He will say, 'O my LORD,' and will keep on invoking ALLAH
[S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] and
then ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] will wish him to remain
quiet, and then he will say, O my LORD! Admit me into Paradise.' ALLAH [S.W.T]
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 [S.W.T] will say, 'Woe on
you, O Adam (P.B.U.H)'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 [S.W.T] till ALLAH [S.W.T] will laugh because of his sayings,
and when ALLAH [S.W.T] will laugh because of him, HE will say to him, 'Enter
Paradise,' and when he will enter it, ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] 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
[S.W.T] will say, 'This is for you, and its equal (is for you) as well."
'Ata' bin Yazid (R.A) added: Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (R.A) who was present with Abu
Huraira (R.A), did not deny whatever the latter said, but when Abu Huraira
(R.A) said that ALLAH [S.W.T] had said, "That is for you and its equal as
well," Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (R.A) said, "And ten times as much, O Abu
Huraira (R.A)!" Abu Huraira (R.A) said, "I do not remember, except
his saying, 'That is for you and its equal as well.'" Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri
(R.A) then said, "I testify that I remember the Prophet [S.A.W.S] saying,
'That is for you, and ten times as much.'" Abu Huraira (R.A) then added,
"That man will be the last person of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise ."

[S.A.W.S]! 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 [S.A.W.S] 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 [S.W.T], 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 (P.B.U.H), the son of ALLAH [S.W.T].'
It will be said to them, 'You are liars, for ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 (P.B.U.H), the son of
ALLAH [S.W.T].' It will be said, 'You are liars, for ALLAH [S.W.T] 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
[S.W.T] (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 (P.B.U.T), 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 [S.W.T] 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 (R.A) of the Prophet
[S.A.W.S] said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! 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
[S.A.W.S] 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
[S.W.T] will say, 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find
faith equal to the weight of one (gold) Dinar.' ALLAH [S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] 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 [S.W.T] 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 (R.A) 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 [S.A.W.S] added, "Then the Prophets and Angels (P.B.U.T) and
the believers will intercede, and (last of all) the ALMIGHTY (ALLAH [S.W.T])
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
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] 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
(P.B.U.H) and say, 'You are Adam (P.B.U.H), the father of the people. ALLAH
[S.W.T] created you with HIS OWN Hand and made you reside in HIS Paradise and ordered HIS Angels (P.B.U.T) 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
(P.B.U.H) 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 (P.B.U.H), the first Prophet sent
by ALLAH [S.W.T] to the people of the Earth.' The people will go to Noah
(P.B.U.H) 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 (P.B.U.H), Khalil Ar-Rahman.' They will go
to Abraham (P.B.U.H) 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
(P.B.U.H), a slave whom ALLAH [S.W.T] gave the Torah and spoke to, directly and
brought near HIM, for conversation.' They will go to Moses (P.B.U.H) 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 (P.B.U.H), ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s slave and HIS Apostle, and a soul created by HIM and HIS Word.' (Be:
And it was.) They will go to Jesus (P.B.U.H) who will say, 'I am not fit for
this undertaking but you'd better go to Muhammad [S.A.W.S] the slave whose past
and future sins have been forgiven by ALLAH [S.W.T].' 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 [S.A.W.S], 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 [S.W.T] 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 (R.A) said: I heard Anas (R.A) saying that), the
Prophet [S.A.W.S] 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
[S.A.W.S], 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 [S.A.W.S] 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 (R.A) added: I heard Anas
(R.A) saying that) the Prophet [S.A.W.S] 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 [S.A.W.S], 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 [S.W.T] 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 (R.A) said: I heard Anas (R.A) saying that) the
Prophet [S.A.W.S] 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 Qur’an 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 [S.W.T] has promised
to your Prophet [S.A.W.S].

will reply, 'yes, but I like to cultivate the land (ALLAH [S.W.T] will permit him

and (the yield) will be harvested and piled in heaps like mountains. On that
ALLAH [S.W.T] will say (to him), "Take, here you are, O son of Adam
(P.B.U.H), for nothing satisfies you.' "On that the bedouin said, "O
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! Such man must be either from Quraish or from
Ansar, for they are farmers while we are not." On that ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] smiled.

that his dress should be fine, and his shoes should be fine. He (the Holy

We participated
in the Battle of Hunain along with the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]. He
(the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said about a man who claimed to be a Muslim that
he was one of the denizens of the Fire (of Hell). When we were in the thick of
the battle that man fought desperately and was wounded. It was said: Messenger
of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], the person whom you at first called as the denizen
of Fire fought desperately and died. Upon this the Apostle of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S]) remarked: He was doomed to the Fire (of Hell). Some men were on the
verge of doubt (about his fate) when it was said: That he was not dead but
fatally wounded. When it was night he could not stand the (pain of his) wound
and killed himself. The Apostle [S.A.W.S] was informed of that. He (the Holy
Prophet [S.A.W.S]) observed: ALLAH is Great, I bear testimony to the fact that
I am the servant of ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Messenger. He then commanded Bilal
(R.A) to announce to the people that none but a Muslim would enter Paradise.
Verily ALLAH [S.W.T] helps this faith even by a sinful person.

this the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] remarked: Nay, not so verily I
have seen him in the Fire for the garment or cloak that he had stolen from the
booty, Then the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said: Umar (R.A) son of
Khattab, go and announce to the people that none but the believers shall enter

forbidden for him. A person said to him: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S],

Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: Don’t surrender your possession to him. He (the
inquirer) said: If he fights me? He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) remarked: Then
fight (with him). He (the inquirer) again said: What do you think if I am
killed? He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) observed: You would be a Martyr. He
(the inquirer) said: What do you think of him (Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S]) If I kill him. He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: he would be in
the Fire.

Hast THOU not brightened our faces? Hast THOU not made us enter Paradise and
saved us from Fire? He (the narrator) said: HE (ALLAH [S.W.T]) would lift the
Veil, and of things given to them nothing would he dearer to them than the
Sight of their LORD, the MIGHTY and the GLORIOUS.

[S.A.W.S] said: ALLAH [S.W.T] will admit into Paradise those deserving of
Paradise, and HE will admit whom HE wishes out of HIS Mercy, and admit those
condemned to Hell into the Fire (of Hell). He would then say: See, he whom you
find having as much faith in his heart as a grain of mustard, bring him out.
They will then be brought out burned and turned to charcoal, and would be cast
into the river of life, and they would sprout as does a seed in the silt
carried away by flood. Have you not seen that it comes out yellow (fresh) and
intertwined?

said: The (permanent) inhabitants of the Fire are those who are doomed to it,
and verily they would neither die nor live in it (al-Qur’an, 20.47; 87.13). But
the people whom the Fire would afflict (temporarily) on account of their sins,
or so said (the narrator) "on account of their misdeeds," He would
cause them to die till they would be turned into charcoal. Then they would be
granted intercession and would be brought in groups and would be spread on the
rivers of Paradise and then it would be said: O inhabitants of Paradise, pour
water over them; then they would sprout forth like the sprouting of seed in the
silt carried by flood. A man among the people said: (It appears) as if the
Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] lived in the steppe.

I know the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it and the last of the
inhabitants of Hell to come out of it. He is a man who would be brought on the
Day of Resurrection and it will be said: Present his minor sins to him, and
withhold from him his serious Sins. Then the minor sins would be placed before
him, and it would be said: On such and such a day you did so and so and on such
and such a day you did so and so. He would say: Yes. It will not be possible
for him to deny, while he would be afraid lest serious sins should be presented
before him. It would be said to him: In place of every evil deed you will have
good deed he will say: My LORD! I have done things I do not see here. I indeed
saw the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] laugh till his front teeth were
exposed.
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 83, Book 1: Faith (Kitab Al Iman), Number 0367:
It is reported
on the authority of Abu Zubair (R.A):
That he heard from Jabir b ‘Abdullah (R.A),
who was asked about the arrival (of people on the Day of Resurrection). He
said. We would come on the Day of Resurrection like this, like this, and see
carefully that which concerns "elevated people". He (the narrator)
said: Then the people would be summoned along with their idols whom they
Worshiped, one after another. Then our LORD would come to us and say: Whom are
you waiting for? They would say: We are waiting for our LORD. HE would say: I
am your LORD. They would say: (We are not sure) till we gaze at THEE, and HE
would manifest HIMSELF to them smilingly, and would go along with them and they
would follow HIM; and every person, whether a hypocrite or a believer, would be
endowed with a light, and there would be spikes and hooks on the bridge of the
Hell, which would catch hold of those whom ALLAH [S.W.T] willed. Then the light
of the hypocrites would be extinguished, and the believers would secure
salvation. And the first group to achieve it would comprise seventy thousand
men who would have the brightness of full moon on their faces, and they would
not be called to account. Then the people immediately following them would have
their faces as the brightest stars in the heaven. This is how (the groups would
follow one after another). Then the stage of intercession would come, and they
(who are permitted to intercede) would intercede, till he who had declared:
"There is no god but ALLAH [S.W.T]" and had in his heart virtue of
the weight of a barley grain would come out of the Fire. They would be then
brought in the courtyard of Paradise and the inhabitants of Paradise would
begin to sprinkle water over them till they would sprout like the sprouting of
a thing in flood water, and their burns would disappear. They would ask their
LORD till they would be granted (the bounties) of the world and with it ten
more besides it.

Abu Huraira
(R.A) reported:
Meat was one day brought to the Messenger of
ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] and a foreleg was offered to him, a part which he
liked. He sliced with his teeth a piece out of it and said: I shall be the
leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know why? ALLAH [S.W.T]
would gather in one plain the earlier and the later (of the human race) on the
Day of Resurrection. Then the voice of the proclaimer would be heard by all of
them and the eyesight would penetrate through all of them and the sun would
come near. People would then experience a degree of anguish, anxiety and agony
which they shall not be able to bear and they shall not be able to stand. Some
people would say to the others: Don’t you see in which trouble you are? Don’t
you see what (misfortune) has overtaken you? Why don’t you find one who should
intercede for you with your LORD? Some would say to the others: Go to Adam
(P.B.U.H). And they would go to Adam (P.B.U.H) and say: O Adam (P.B.U.H), Thou
art the father of mankind. ALLAH [S.W.T] created thee by HIS own Hand and
breathed in thee of HIS spirit and ordered the Angels (P.B.U.T) to prostrate
before thee. Intercede for us with thy LORD. Don’t you see in what (trouble) we
are? Don’t you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Adam (P.B.U.H) would
say: Verily, my LORD is angry, to an extent to which HE had never been angry
before nor would HE be angry afterward. Verily, HE forbade me (to go near) that
tree and I disobeyed HIM. I am concerned with my own self. Go to someone else;
go to Noah (P.B.U.H). They would come to Noah (P.B.U.H) and would say: O Noah
(P.B.U.H), Thou art the first of the Messengers (sent) on the earth (after Adam
(P.B.U.H)), and ALLAH [S.W.T] named thee as a "Grateful Servant,"
intercede for us with thy LORD. Don’t you see in what (trouble) we are? Don’t
you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? He would say: Verily, my LORD is
angry today as HE had never been angry before, and would never be angry afterwards.
There had emanated a curse from me with which I cursed my people. I am
concerned with only myself, I am concerned only with myself; you better go to
Ibrahim (P.B.U.H). They would go to Ibrahim (P.B.U.H) and say: Thou art the
Apostle of ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Friend amongst the inhabitants of the earth;
intercede for us with thy LORD. Don’t you see in which (trouble) we are? Don’t
you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Ibrahim (P.B.U.H) would say to
them: Verily, my LORD is today angry as HE had never been angry before and
would never be angry afterwards. And (Ibrahim (P.B.U.H)) would mention his lies
(and then say): I am concerned only with myself, I am concerned only with
myself. You better go to someone else: go to Moses (P.B.U.H). They would come
to Moses (P.B.U.H) and say: O Moses (P.B.U.H), Thou art ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Messenger, ALLAH [S.W.T] blessed thee with HIS Messengership and HIS
conversation amongst people. Intercede for us with thy LORD. Don’t you see in
what (trouble) we are? Don’t you see what (misfortune) has overtaken us? Moses
(P.B.U.H) would say to them: Verily, my LORD is angry as HE had never been
angry before and would never be angry afterwards. I, in fact, killed a person
whom I had not been ordered to kill. I am concerned with myself, I am concerned
with myself. You better go to Jesus (P.B.U.H). They would come to Jesus
(P.B.U.H) and would say: O Jesus (P.B.U.H), Thou art the Messenger of ALLAH
[S.W.T] and thou conversed with people in the cradle, (thou art) HIS Word which
HE sent down upon Mary, and (thou art) the Spirit from HIM; so intercede for us
with thy LORD. Don’t you see (the trouble) in which we are? Don’t you see (the
misfortune) that has overtaken us? Jesus (P.B.U.H) would say: Verily, my LORD
is angry today as HE had never been angry before or would ever be angry
afterwards. He mentioned no sin of his. (He simply said:) I am concerned with
myself, I am concerned with myself; you go to someone else: better go to
Muhammad [S.A.W.S]. They would come to me and say: O Muhammad [S.A.W.S], Thou
art the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] and the last of the Apostles (P.B.U.T).
ALLAH [S.W.T] has pardoned thee all thy previous and later sins. Intercede for
us with thy LORD; don’t you see in which (trouble) we are? Don’t you see what
(misfortune) has overtaken us? I shall then set off and come below the Throne
and fall down prostrate before my LORD; then ALLAH [S.W.T] would reveal to me
and inspire me with some of HIS Praises and Glorifications which HE had not
revealed to anyone before me. HE would then say: Muhammad [S.A.W.S], raise thy
head; ask and it would be granted; intercede and intercession would be accepted
I would then raise my head and say: O my LORD, my people, my people. It would
be said: O Muhammad [S.A.W.S], bring in by the right gate of Paradise those of
your people who would have no account to render. They would share with the
people some other door besides this door. The Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S] then said:
By HIM in WHOSE Hand is the life of Muhammad [S.A.W.S], verify the distance between
two door leaves of the Paradise is as great as between Mecca and Hajar, or as
between Mecca and Busra (379) It is reported on the authority of Abu Huraira
(R.A) that there was placed before the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] a
cup of soft bread, soup and meat. He took part of the foreleg which he liked
most. He sliced (with his teeth) a slice (out of that) and said: I would be the
leader of mankind on the Day of Resurrection. He then sliced (that meat) for
the second time and said: I am the leader of mankind on the Day of
Resurrection. When he saw that his companions (R.A) did not ask him (about this
assertion) he said: Why don’t you say: How would that be? They said: How would
be it, Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]? He said: People would stand before
the LORD of the worlds. And the rest of the Hadith was narrated like the one
transmitted by Abu Hayyan (R.A), on the authority of Abu Zur’a (R.A), and in
the story of Ibrahim (P.B.U.H), this addition was made. He said and made
mention of his words with regard to the star: This is my LORD. And his words
with regard to their gods: But the big among them has done that. And his words:
I am ailing. He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: By HIM in WHOSE Hand is the
life of Muhammad [S.A.W.S] the distance between two leaves of the door from
their supporting frames is as the distance between Mecca and Hajar or Hajar and
Mecca. I do not remember how he said it (whether Mecca and Hajar or Hajar and
Mecca).

Chapter 91, Book 1: Faith (Kitab Al Iman), Number 0425:
Husain b. ‘Abd
al-Rahman (R.A) reported:
I was with Sa’id b. Jubair (R.A) when he said:
Who amongst you saw a star shooting last night? I said: It was I; then I said:
I was in fact not (busy) in prayer, but was stung by a scorpion (and that is
the reason why I was awake and had a glimpse of the shooting star). He said:
Then what did you do? I said: I practiced charm. He said: What urged you to do
this? I said: (I did this according to the implied suggestion) of the Hadith
which al-Shu’ba (R.A) narrated. He said: What did al-Shu’ba (R.A) narrate to
you? I said: Buraida b. Husaib al-Aslami (R.A) narrated to us. The charm is of
no avail except in case of the (evil influence) of an eye or the sting of a
scorpion. He said: He who acted according to what he had heard (from the Holy
Prophet [S.A.W.S]) acted rightly, but Ibn ‘Abbas (R.A) narrated to us from the
Apostle of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] that he said: There were brought before me
the peoples and I saw an Apostle (P.B.U.H) and a small group (of his followers)
along with him, another (Apostle (P.B.U.H)) and one or two persons (along with
him) and (still another) Apostle (P.B.U.H) having no one with him. When a very
large group was brought to me I conceived as if it were my Ummah. Then it was
said to me: It is Moses (P.B.U.H) and his people. You should look at the
horizon, and I saw a very huge group. It was again said to me: See the other
side of the horizon, and there was (also) a very huge group. It was said to me:
This is your Ummah, and amongst them there were seventy thousand persons who
would be made to enter Paradise without rendering any account and without
(suffering) any torment. He then stood up and went to his house. Then the
people began to talk about the people who would be admitted to Paradise without
rendering any account and without (suffering) any torment. Some of them said:
They may be those who (have had the good fortune of living) in the company of
the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] and some of them said: They are those
who were born in Islam and did not associate anything with ALLAH [S.W.T]. Some
people mentioned other things. Thereupon came forth the Messenger of ALLAH
[S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] before them and he said: What was that which you were talking
about? They informed him. He said: They are those persons who neither practice
charm, nor ask others to practice it, nor do they take omens, and repose their
trust in their LORD. Upon this ‘Ukkasha b. Mihsan (R.A) stood up and said:
Supplicate for me that HE should make me one among them. Upon this he
(Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]) said: Thou are one among them. Then
another man stood up and said: Supplicate before ALLAH [S.W.T] that HE should
make me one among them. Upon this he said: ‘Ukkisha (R.A) has preceded you.
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 92, Book 1: Faith (Kitab Al Iman), Number 0430:
Abu Sa’id
reported:
The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said:
ALLAH [S.W.T], the HIGH and GLORIOUS, would say: O Adam (P.B.U.H)! And he would
say: At THY service, at THY beck and call, O LORD, and the good is in THY Hand.
ALLAH [S.W.T] would say: Bring forth the group of (the denizens of) Fire. He
(Adam (P.B.U.H)) would say: Who are the denizens of Hell? It would be said:
They are out of every thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. He (the Holy
Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: It is at this juncture that every child would become
white-haired and every pregnant woman would abort and you would see people in a
state of intoxication, and they would not be in fact intoxicated but grievous
will be the torment of ALLAH [S.W.T]. He (the narrator) said: This had a very
depressing effect upon them (upon the Companions (R.A) of the Holy Prophet
[S.A.W.S]) and they said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], who amongst us
would be (that unfortunate) person (who would be doomed to Hell)? He said: Good
tidings for you, yajuj majuj would be those Thousands (who would be the
denizens of Hell) and a person (selected for Paradise) would be amongst you. He
(the narrator) further reported that he (the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S]) again said: By HIM in WHOSE Hand is thy life, I hope that you would
constitute one-fourth of the inhabitants of Paradise. We Extolled ALLAH [S.W.T]
and we Glorified (HIM). He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) again said: By HIM in WHOSE
Hand is my life, I wish you would constitute one-third of the inhabitants of
Paradise. We Extolled ALLAH [S.W.T] and Glorified (HIM). He (the Holy Prophet
[S.A.W.S]) again said: By HIM in WHOSE Hand is my life, I hope that you would
constitute half of the inhabitants of Paradise. Your likeness among the people
is the likeness of a white hair on the skin of a black ox or a strip on the
foreleg of an ass.

Thauban (R.A),
the freed slave of the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], said:
While I was standing beside the Messenger of
ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] one of the rabbis of the Jews came and said: Peace be
upon you, O Muhammad [S.A.W.S]. I pushed him back with a push that he was going
to fall. Upon this he said: Why do you push me? I said: Why don’t you say: O
Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]? The Jew said: We call him by the name by
which he was named by his family. The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
said: My name is Muhammad [S.A.W.S] with which I was named by my family. The
Jew said: I have come to ask you (something). The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S] said: Should that thing be of any benefit to you, if I tell you that?
He (the Jew) said: I will lend my ears to it. The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S] drew a line with the help of the stick that he had with him and then
said: Ask (whatever you like). Thereupon the Jew said: Where would the human
beings be on the Day when the earth would change into another earth and the
heavens too (would change into other heavens)? The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S] said: They would be in darkness beside the Bridge. He (the Jew) again
said: Who amongst people would be the first to cross (this bridge)? He said:
They would be the poor amongst the refugees. The Jew said: What would
constitute their breakfast when they would enter Paradise? He (the Holy Prophet
[S.A.W.S]) replied: A caul of the fish-liver. He (the Jew) said. What would be
their food alter this? He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: A bullock which
was fed in the different quarters of Paradise would be slaughtered for them. He
(the Jew) said: What would be their drink? He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S])
said: They would be given drink from the fountain which is named
"Salsabil". He (the Jew) said: I have come to ask you about a thing
which no one amongst the people on the earth knows except an Apostle or one or
two men besides him. He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: Would it benefit you
if I tell you that? He (the Jew) said: I would lend ears to that. He then said:
I have come to ask you about the child. He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said:
The reproductive substance of man is white and that of woman (i.e. ovum central
portion) yellow, and when they have sexual intercourse and the male’s substance
(chromosomes and genes) prevails upon the female’s substance (chromosomes and
genes), it is the male child that is created by ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Decree, and
when the substance of the female prevails upon the substance contributed by the
male, a female child is formed by the Decree of ALLAH [S.W.T]. The Jew said:
What you have said is true; verily you are an Apostle. He then returned and
went away. The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said: He asked me about
such and such things of which I have had no knowledge till ALLAH [S.W.T] gave
me that.

ALLAH is the Greatest, ALLAH is the Greatest;
(and when the
Mu'adhdhin) says: I testify that there is no god but ALLAH, one should respond:
I testify that there is no god but ALLAH,
and when he
says: I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of ALLAH, one should make a
response: I testify that Muhammad [S.A.W.S] is Messenger of ALLAH.
When he (the
Mu'adhdhin) says: Come to prayer, one should make a response: There is no might
and no power except with ALLAH.
When he (the
Mu'adhdhin) says: Come to salvation, one should respond: There is no might and
no power except with ALLAH,
and when he (the
Mu'adhdhin) says: ALLAH is the Greatest, ALLAH is the Greatest, then make a response:
ALLAH is the Greatest, ALLAH is the Greatest.
When he (the
Mu'adhdhin) says: There is no god but ALLAH, and he who makes a response from
the heart: There is no god but ALLAH.
He will enter
Paradise.

Chapter 12, Book 4: Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat), Number 0790:
Anas (R.A)
reported:
One day the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S] was sitting amongst us that he dozed off. He then raised his head
smilingly. We said: What makes you smile Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]?
He said: A Sura has just been revealed to me, and then recited: In the name of
ALLAH, the COMPASSIONATE, the MERCIFUL. Verily WE have given thee Kauthar
(fount of abundance). Therefore turn to thy LORD for prayer and offer
sacrifice, and surely thy enemy is cut off (from the good). Then he (the Holy
Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: Do you know what Kauthar is? We said: ALLAH [S.W.T]
and HIS Messenger [S.A.W.S] know best. The Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S] said: It
(Kauthar) is a canal which my LORD, the EXALTED and GLORIOUS has promised me,
and there is an abundance of good in it. It is a cistern and my people would
come to it on the Day of Resurrection, and tumblers there would be equal to the
number of stars. A servant would be turned away from (among the people gathered
there). Upon this I would say: My LORD, he is one of my people, and HE (the
LORD) would say: You do not know that he innovated new things (in Islam) after
you. Ibn Hujr (R.A) made this addition in the Hadith: "He (the Holy
Prophet [S.A.W.S]) was sitting amongst us in the Mosque, and HE (ALLAH [S.W.T])
said: (You don’t know) what he innovated after you".

I met Thauban (R.A), the freed slave. of ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S], and asked him to tell me about an act for which,
if I do it, ALLAH [S.W.T] will admit me to Paradise, or I asked about the act
which was loved most by ALLAH [S.W.T]. He gave no reply. I again asked and he
gave no reply. I asked him for the third time, and he said: I asked ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] about that and he said: Make frequent
prostrations before ALLAH [S.W.T], for you will not make one prostration
without raising you a degree because of it, and removing a sin from you, because
of it. Ma’dan (R.A) said: That then he met Abu al-Darda’ (R.A) and when he
asked him, he received a reply similar to that given by Thauban (R.A).
Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 2, Book 15: The Two Festivals (Eids), Number 86:
Narrated Ibn
Abbas (R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "No good
deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of
Dhul Hijja)." Then some companions (R.A) of the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said,
"Not even Jihad?" He replied, "Not even Jihad, except that of a
man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Sake) and does not return with any of those things."
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 28, Book 6: Fasting (Kitab Al-Sawm), Number 2566:
Abu Huraira
(R.A) reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying:
ALLAH [S.W.T] the EXALTED and MAJESTIC said: Every act of the son of Adam
(P.B.U.H) is for him, except fasting. It is (exclusively) meant for ME and I
(Alone) will reward it. Fasting is a shield. When any one of you is fasting on
a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language, nor raise the voice; or
if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him he should say: I am a person
fasting. By HIM, in WHOSE Hand is the life of Muhammad [S.A.W.S], the breath of
the observer of fast is sweeter to ALLAH [S.W.T] on the Day of Judgment than
the fragrance of musk. The one who fasts has two (occasions) of joy, one when
he breaks the fast he is glad with the breaking of (the fast) and one when he
meets his LORD he is glad with his fast.
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 28, Book 6: Fasting (Kitab Al-Sawm), Number 2567:
Abu Huraira
(R.A) reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying:
Every (good) deed of the son of Adam (P.B.U.H) would be multiplied, a good deed
receiving a tenfold to seven hundredfold reward. ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and
MAJESTIC, has said: With the exception of fasting, for it is done for ME and I
will give a reward for it, for one abandons his passion and food for MY Sake.
There are two occasions of joy for one who fasts, joy when he breaks it, and
joy when he meets his LORD, and the breath (of an observer of fast) is sweeter
to ALLAH [S.W.T] than the fragrance of musk.
Sahih Muslim:

AI-Mughira b.
Shu’ba (R.A) reported:
That Sa’d b. ‘Ubada (R.A) said: If I were to
see a man with my wife, I would have struck him with the sword, and not with
the flat part (side) of it. When ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] heard of
that, he said: Are you surprised at Sa’d (R.A)’s jealousy of his honor? By
ALLAH [S.W.T], I am more jealous of my honor than he, and ALLAH [S.W.T] is more
jealous than I. Because of HIS jealousy ALLAH [S.W.T] has prohibited
abomination, both open and secret. And no person is more jealous of his honor
than ALLAH [S.W.T], and no persons, is more fond of accepting an excuse than
ALLAH [S.W.T], on account of which HE has sent Messengers (P.B.U.T), announcers
of glad tidings and warners; and no one is more fond of Praise than ALLAH
[S.W.T] on account of which ALLAH [S.W.T] has promised Paradise.

It has been
narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (R.A) who said:
The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] was
asked: What deed could be an equivalent of Jihad in the way of ALLAH [S.W.T],
the ALMIGHTY and EXALTED? He answered: You do not have the strength to do that
deed. The narrator said: They repeated the question twice or thrice. Every time
he answered: You do not have the strength to do it. When the question was asked
for the third time, he said: One who goes out for Jihad is like a person who
keeps fasts, stands in prayer (constantly), (obeying) ALLAH [S.W.T]’s (behests
contained in) the verses (of the Qur'an), and does not exhibit any lassitude in
fasting and prayer until the Mujahid returns from Jihad in the way of ALLAH
[S.W.T], the EXALTED.

said (to him): Abu Sa’id (R.A), whoever cheerfully accepts ALLAH [S.W.T] as his
LORD, Islam as his religion and Muhammad [S.A.W.S] as his Apostle is
necessarily entitled to enter Paradise. He (Abu Sa’id (R.A)) wondered at it and
said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], repeat it for me. He (the Messenger
of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]) did that and said: There is another act which
elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred (higher), and
the elevation between one grade and the other is equal to the height of the
heaven from the earth. He (Abu Sa’id (R.A)) said: What is that act? He replied:
Jihad in the way of ALLAH [S.W.T]! Jihad in the way of ALLAH [S.W.T]!

That the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
stood up among them (his companions (R.A)) to deliver his sermon in which he
told them that Jihad in the way of ALLAH [S.W.T] and belief in ALLAH [S.W.T]
(with all HIS Attributes) are the most meritorious of acts. A man stood up and
said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], do you think that if I am killed in
the way of ALLAH [S.W.T], my sins will be blotted out from me? The Messenger of
ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said: Yes, in case you are killed in the way of ALLAH
[S.W.T] and you were patient and sincere and you always fought facing the
enemy, never turning your back upon him. Then he added: What have you said
(now)? (Wishing to have further assurance from him for his satisfaction), he
asked (again): Do you think if I am killed in the way of ALLAH [S.W.T], all my
sins will be obliterated from me? The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
said: Yes, it you were patient and sincere and always fought facing the enemy
and never turning your back upon him, (all your lapses would be forgiven)
except debt. Gabriel (P.B.U.H) has told me this.

We asked ‘Abdullah (R.A) about the Qur’anic
verse: "Think not of those who are slain in ALLAH’s way as dead. Nay, they
are alive, finding their sustenance in the presence of their LORD. ."
(3.169). He said: We asked the meaning of the verse (from the Holy Prophet
[S.A.W.S]) who said: The souls, of the Martyrs live in the bodies of green
birds who have their nests in chandeliers hung from the Throne of the ALMIGHTY.
They eat the fruits of Paradise from wherever they like and then nestle in
these chandeliers. Once their LORD cast a Glance at them and said: Do you want
anything? They said: What more shall we desire? We eat the fruit of Paradise
from wherever we like. Their LORD asked them the same question thrice. When
they saw that they will continue to be asked and not left (without answering
the question) they said: O LORD, we wish that THOU mayest return our souls to
our bodies so that we may be slain in THY way once again. When HE (ALLAH
[S.W.T]) saw that they had no need, they were left (to their joy in heaven).

and said: Who is the best of men? He replied: A man who fights in the way of
ALLAH [S.W.T] spending his wealth and staking his life. The man then asked: Who
is next to him (in excellence)? He said: Next to him is a believer who lives in
a mountain gorge Worshiping his LORD and sparing men from his mischief.

(Though) one of them kills the other. They said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S], how is it? He said: One of them fights in the way of ALLAH [S.W.T],
the ALMIGHTY and EXALTED and dies a Martyr. Then ALLAH [S.W.T] turns in Mercy
to the murderer who embraces Islam, fights in the way of ALLAH [S.W.T], the
ALMIGHTY and EXALTED, and dies a Martyr.

Chapter 39, Book 20: On Government (Kitab Al-Imara), Number 4673:
It has been
narrated on the authority of Sulaimin b. Buraida (R.A) who learnt the tradition
from his father. The latter said:
That the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
said: The sanctity of the wives of Mujahids is like the sanctity of their mothers
for those who sit at home (i.e. do not go out for Jihad). Anyone who stays
behind looking after the family of a Mujahid and betrays his trust will be made
to stand on the Day of Judgment before the Mujahid who will take away from his
meritorious deeds whatever he likes. So what do you think (will he leave
anything)?
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 41, Book 20: On Government (Kitab Al-Imara), Number 4680:
It has been
reported on the authority of Anas b. Malik (R.A) who said:
The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] sent
Busaisah as a scout to see what the caravan of Abu Sufyan was doing. He came
(back and met the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S] in his house) where there was nobody
except myself and the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]. I do not remember
whether he (Hadrat Anas (R.A)) made an exception of some wives (R.A) of the
Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S] or not and told him the news of the caravan. (Having
heard the news), the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] came out (hurriedly),
spoke to the people and said: We are in need (of men); whoever has an animal to
ride upon ready with him should ride with us. People began to ask him
permission for bringing their riding animals which were grazing on the hillocks
near Medina. He said: No. (I want) only those who have their riding animals
ready. So the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] and his companions (R.A)
proceeded towards Badr and reached there forestalling the polytheists (of
Mecca). When the polytheists (also) reached there, the Messenger of ALLAH
[S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said: None of you should step forward to (do) anything unless
I am ahead of him. The polytheists (now) advanced (towards us), and the
Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said: Get up to enter Paradise which is
equal in width to the heavens and the earth. ‘Umair b. al- Humam al-Ansari
(R.A) said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], is Paradise equal in extent
to the heavens and the earth? He said: Yes. ‘Umair (R.A) said: My goodness! The
Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] asked him: What prompted you to utter
these words (i.e. my goodness!’)? He said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S], nothing but the desire that I be among its residents. He said: Thou
art (surely) among its residents. He took out dates from his bag and began to
eat them. Then he said: If I were to live until I have eaten all these dates of
mine, it would be a long life. (The narrator said): He threw away all the dates
he had with him. Then he fought the enemies until he was killed.

[S.W.T]), get their share of the booty and return safe and sound, receive in
advance two-thirds of their reward (only one-third remaining to their credit to
be received in the Hereafter); and a troop of soldiers, large or small, who
return empty-handed and are afflicted or wounded, will receive their full
reward (in the Hereafter).

I heard the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S] say: Keeping watch for a day and a night is better (in point of
reward) than fasting for a whole month and standing in prayer every night. If a
person dies (while, performing this duty), his (meritorious) activity will
continue and he will go on receiving his reward for it perpetually and will be
saved from the torture of the grave.

ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as
sayings: A person suffered from intense thirst while on a journey, when he
found a well. He climbed down into it and drank (water) and then came out and
saw a dog lolling its tongue on account of thirst and eating the moistened
earth. The person said: This dog has suffered from thirst as I had suffered
from it. He climbed down into the well, filled his shoe with water, then caught
it in his mouth until he climbed up and made the dog drink it. So ALLAH [S.W.T]
appreciated this act of his and pardoned him. Then (the Companions (R.A) around
him) said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S], is there for us a reward even
for (serving) such animals? He said: Yes, there is a reward for service to
every living animal.

said:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S], what
about the vessels of that Cistern? He said: By HIM in WHOSE Hand is the life of
Muhammad [S.A.W.S], the vessels would outnumber the stars in the sky and its
planets shining on a dark cloudless night. These would be the vessels of
Paradise. He who drinks out of it (the Cistern) would never feel thirsty. There
would flow in it two spouts from Paradise and he who would drink out of it
would not feel thirsty; and the distance between its (two corners) is that
between ‘Amman and Aila, and its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than
honey.

anything with ALLAH [S.W.T] except the person in whose (heart) there is rancor
against his brother. And it would be said: Look towards both of them until
there is reconciliation; look toward both of them until there is
reconciliation; look towards both of them until there is reconciliation. This
Hadith has been narrated on the authority of Suhail (R.A) who narrated it on

Raqub is one who does not find his child as the forerunner (in Paradise). He

daughters expressed desire to eat it. She then divided the date that she
intended to eat between them. This (kind) treatment of her impressed me and I
mentioned that which she did to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S]. Thereupon

(R.A)) said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S], so far as the feeling of
aversion against death is concerned, we all have this feeling. Thereupon he
(the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: It is not that (which you construe), but
(this) that when a believer (at the time of death) is given the glad tidings of
the Mercy of ALLAH [S.W.T], HIS Pleasure, and of Paradise, he loves to meet
ALLAH [S.W.T], and ALLAH [S.W.T] also loves to meet him, and when an unbeliever
is given the news of the torment at the Hand of ALLAH [S.W.T], and Hardship to
be imposed by HIM, he dislikes to meet ALLAH [S.W.T] and ALLAH [S.W.T] also

Day of Resurrection, and he who finds relief for one who is hard pressed, ALLAH
[S.W.T] would make things easy for him in the Hereafter, and he who conceals
(the faults) of a Muslim, ALLAH [S.W.T] would conceal his faults in the world
and in the Hereafter. ALLAH [S.W.T] is at the back of a servant so long as the
servant is at the back of his brother, and he who treads the path in search of
knowledge, ALLAH [S.W.T] would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him
and those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of ALLAH [S.W.T]
(Mosques) and recite the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T] and they learn and teach the
Qur’an (among themselves) there would descend upon them the Tranquility and
Mercy would cover them and the Angels (P.B.U.T) would surround them and ALLAH
[S.W.T] makes a mention of them in the presence of those near HIM, and he who
is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his (high) descent does not make him go
ahead.

reported:
I met Abu Bakr (R.A). He said: Who are you? He
(Hanzala (R.A)) said: Hanzala (R.A) has turned to be a hypocrite. He (Abu Bakr
(R.A)) said: Hallowed be ALLAH, what are you saying? Thereupon he said: I say
that when we are in the company of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] we
ponder over Hell-Fire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our very eyes
and when we are away from ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] we attend to our
wives, our children, our business; most of these things (pertaining to
After-life) slip out of our minds. Abu Bakr (R.A) said: By ALLAH [S.W.T], I
also experience the same. So I and Abu Bakr (R.A) went to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Messenger [S.A.W.S] and said to him: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S],
Hanzala (R.A) has turned to be a hypocrite. Thereupon ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger
[S.A.W.S] said: What has happened to you? I said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger
[S.A.W.S], when we are in your company, we are reminded of Hell-Fire and
Paradise as if we are seeing them with our own eyes, but whenever we go away from
you and attend to our wives, children and business, much of these things go out
of our minds. Thereupon ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] said: By HIM in
WHOSE Hand is my life, if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my
presence and you are always busy in remembrance (of ALLAH [S.W.T]), the Angels
(P.B.U.T) will shake hands with you in your beds and in your paths but, Hanzala
(R.A), time should be devoted (to the worldly affairs) and time (should be
devoted to prayer and meditation). He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said this
thrice.

If a believer were to know the punishment (in Hell) none would have the

from Hell), and if a non-believer were to know what is there with ALLAH [S.W.T]
as a Mercy none would have been disappointed in regard to Paradise.

that a person committed sin beyond measure and when he was going to die, he
left this will: (When I die), bum my dead body and then cast them (the ashes)
to the wind and in the ocean. By ALLAH [S.W.T], if my LORD takes hold of me, HE
would torment me as HE has not tormented anyone else. They did as he had asked
them to do. HE (the LORD) said to the earth: Return what you have taken. And he
was thus restored to his (original form). HE (ALLAH [S.W.T]) said to him: What
prompted you to do this? He said: My LORD, it was THINE fear or THINE awe, and
ALLAH [S.W.T] pardoned him because of this. Abu Huraira (R.A) reported: ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying that a woman was thrown into Hell-Fire
because of a cat whom she had tied and did not provide it with food nor did she
set it free to cat insects of the earth until it died inch by inch. Zuhri (R.A)

getting into Paradise) because of his deeds, nor should he lose (all hopes) of
getting into Paradise.

the EXALTED and GLORIOUS, on the Day of Resurrection and HE would place upon
him HIS veil (of Light) and make him confess his faults and say: Do you
recognize (your faults)? He would say: My LORD, I do recognize (them). He (the
LORD) would say: I concealed them for you in the world. And today I Forgive
them. And he would then be given the Book containing (the account of his) good
deeds. And so far as the non-believers and hypocrites are concerned, there
would be general announcement about them before all Creation telling them that
these (people, i.e. non-believers and hypocrites) told a lie about ALLAH

did you find any comfort, did you happen to get any material Blessing? He would
say: By ALLAH [S.W.T], no, my LORD. And then that person from amongst the
persons of the world be brought who had led the most miserable life (in the
world) from amongst the inmates of Paradise and he would be made to dip once in
Paradise and it would be said to him. O, son of Adam (P.B.U.H), did you face,

ALLAH [S.W.T], no, O my LORD, never did I face any hardship or experience any

perfectly, try to do as much as you can do (to live up to this ideal of
moderation) and be happy for none would be able to get into Paradise because of
his deeds alone. They (the Companions (R.A) of the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S])
said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S], not even thou? Thereupon he said:

that the deed loved most by ALLAH [S.W.T] is one which is done constantly even
though it is insignificant.

us what THOU hast not given to any of THY Creatures? HE would, however, say:

say: O LORD, what thing can be more excellent than this? And HE would say: I
shall cause MY pleasure to alight upon you and I shall never be afterwards
annoyed with you.

be left. Then ALLAH [S.W.T] would Create another Creation as HE would like.

Abu Sa’id (R.A)
reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying:
Death would be brought on the Day of Resurrection in the form of a white
colored ram. Abu Kuraib (R.A) made this addition: Then it would be made to
stand between the Paradise and the Hell. So far as the rest of the Hadith is
concerned there is perfect agreement (between the two narrators) and it would
be said to the inmates of Paradise: Do you recognize this? They would raise up
their necks and look towards it and say: Yes, it is death. Then it would be
said to the inmates of Hell-Fire. Do you recognize this? And they would raise
up their necks and look and say: Yes, it is death. Then command would be given
for slaughtering that and then it would be said: O inmates of Paradise, there
is an everlasting life for you and no death. And then (addressing) to the
inmates of the Hell-Fire, it would be said: O inmates of Hell-Fire, there is an
everlasting living for you and no death. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S]
then recited this verse pointing with his hand to this (material) world:
"Warn them, this Day of dismay, and when their affairs would be decided
and they would be unmindful and they believe not" (19. 39).

them) said: Every meek person who is considered to be humble and if they were

it. May I not inform you about the inmates of Hell-Fire? They are all proud,

Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S])? If he is a believer, he would say: I bear testimony to
the fact that he is a servant of ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Messenger. Then it would
be said to him: Look to your seat in the Hell-Fire, for ALLAH [S.W.T] has
substituted (the seat of yours) with a seat in Paradise. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Messenger [S.A.W.S] said: He would be shown both the seats. Qatada (R.A) said:

you come to us, we would give you what ALLAH [S.W.T] would make available for
you and if you like I would make a mention of your case to the ruler, and if
you like you can show patience also for I have heard ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger

Dawud: Chapter 209, Book 2: Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat), Hadith 1046:
Narrated Abu
Huraira (R.A):
The Messenger of
ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said: The best day on which the sun has risen is
Friday; on it Adam (P.B.U.H) was created, on it he was expelled (from
Paradise), on it his contrition was accepted, on it he died, and on it the Last
Hour will take place. On Friday every beast is on the lookout from dawn to
sunrise in fear of the Last Hour, but not jinn and men, and it contains a time
at which no Muslim prays and asks anything from ALLAH [S.W.T] but HE will give
it to him. Ka'b (R.A) said: That is one day every year. So I said: It is on
every Friday. Ka'b (R.A) read the Torah and said: The Messenger of ALLAH
[S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] has spoken the truth. Abu Huraira (R.A) said: I met Abdullah
Ibn Salam (R.A) and told him of my meeting with Ka'b (R.A). Abdullah Ibn Salam
(R.A) said: I know what time it is. Abu Huraira (R.A) said: I asked him to tell
me about it. Abdullah Ibn Salam (R.A) said: It is at the very end of Friday. I
asked: How can it be when the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] has said:
"No Muslim finds it while he is praying...." and this is the moment
when no prayer is offered. Abdullah Ibn Salam (R.A) said: Has the Messenger of
ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] not said: "If anyone is seated waiting for the
prayer, he is engaged in the prayer until he observes it." I said: Yes, it
is so.

Aws (R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said: Among the most
excellent of your days is Friday; on it Adam (P.B.U.H) was created, on it he
died, on it the last trumpet will be blown, and on it the shout will be made,
so invoke more blessings on me that day, for your blessings will be submitted
to me. The people asked: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T], how can it be that our
blessings will be submitted to you while your body is decayed? He replied:
ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED, has prohibited the earth from consuming the bodies
of Prophets (P.B.U.T).

Narrated Kathir
Ibn Qays (R.A):
Kathir Ibn Qays (R.A) said: I was sitting with
Abud Darda' (R.A) in the Mosque of Damascus. A man came to him and said: Abud
Darda (R.A), I have come to you from the town of the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S] for a tradition that I have heard you relate from the Messenger of
ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]. I have come for no other purpose. He said: I heard the
Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] say: If anyone travels on a road in search
of knowledge, ALLAH [S.W.T] will cause him to travel on one of the roads of
Paradise. The Angels (P.B.U.T) will lower their wings in their great pleasure
with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth and
the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man. The
superiority of the learned man over the devout is like that of the moon, on the
night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The learned are the heirs of
the Prophets (P.B.U.T) and the Prophets (P.B.U.T) leave neither dinar nor
dirham, leaving only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion.

The Prophet [S.A.W.S] was invited to the
funeral of a boy who belonged to the Ansar and I said; Messenger of ALLAH
[S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]! This one is blessed, for he has done no evil, nor has he
known it. He replied: It may be otherwise, ‘A’isha (R.A), for ALLAH [S.W.T] Created
Paradise and Created those who will go to it, and HE Created it for them when
they were still in their father’s loins; and HE Created hell and Created those
who will go to it, and Created it for them when they were still in their
father’s loins.

Narrated
Al-Bara' Ibn Azib (R.A):
We went out with the Messenger of ALLAH
[S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] accompanying the bier of a man of the Ansar. When we reached
his grave, it was not yet dug. So the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] sat
down and we also sat down around him as if birds were over our heads. He had in
his hand a stick with which he was scratching the ground. He then raised his
head and said: Seek refuge with ALLAH [S.W.T] from the punishment in the grave.
He said it twice or thrice.
The version of
Jabir (R.A) adds here: He hears the beat of their sandals when they go back,
and at that moment he is asked: O so and so! Who is your LORD, what is your
religion, and who is your Prophet?
Hannad (R.A)'s
version says: Two Angels (P.B.U.T) will come to him, make him sit up and ask
him: Who is your LORD? He will reply: My LORD is ALLAH [S.W.T]. They will ask
him: What is your religion? He will reply: My religion is Islam. They will ask
him: What is your opinion about the man who was sent on a mission among you? He
will reply: He is the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]. They will ask: Who made you
aware of this? He will reply: I read ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Book, believed in it, and
considered it true; which is verified by ALLAH [S.W.T]'s words: "ALLAH
[S.W.T]'s Book, believed in it, and considered it true, which is verified by
ALLAH [S.W.T]'s words: "ALLAH establishes those who believe with
the word that stands firm in this world and the next."
The agreed
version reads: Then a crier will call from Heaven: MY servant has spoken the
truth, so spread a bed for him from Paradise, clothe him from Paradise, and
open a door for him into Paradise. So some of its air and perfume will come to
him, and a space will be made for him as far as the eye can see.
He also
mentioned the death of the infidel, saying: His spirit will be restored to his
body, two Angels (P.B.U.T) will come to him, make him sit up and ask him: Who
is your LORD? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask him: What
is your religion? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask: Who
was the man who was sent on a mission among you? He will reply: Alas, alas! I
do not know. Then a crier will call from Heaven: He has lied, so spread a bed
for him from Hell, clothe him from Hell, and open for him a door into Hell.
Then some of its heat and pestilential wind will come to him, and his grave
will be compressed, so that his ribs will be crushed together. Jabir (R.A)'s
version adds: One who is blind and dumb will then be placed in charge of him,
having a sledge-hammer such that if a mountain were struck with it, it would
become dust. He will give him a blow with it which will be heard by everything
between the east and the west except by men and jinn, and he will become dust.
Then his spirit will be restored to him.

Ibn Mas’ud (R.A)
reported:
Verily the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S] said: The last to enter Paradise would be a man who would walk once
and stumble once and be burnt by the Fire once. Then when he gets beyond it, he
will turn to it and say: Blessed is HE WHO has saved me from thee. ALLAH
[S.W.T] has given me something HE has not given to any one of those in earlier
or later times. Then a tree would be raised up for him and he will say: O my
LORD! Bring me near this tree so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink
of its water. ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and GREAT, would say: O son of Adam
(P.B.U.H), if I grant you this, you will ask ME for something else. He would
say: No, my LORD. And he would promise HIM that he would not ask for anything
else. His LORD would excuse him because HE sees what he cannot help desiring;
so HE would bring him near it, and he would take shelter in its shade and drink
of its water. Afterwards a tree more beautiful than the first would be raised
up before him and he would say: O my LORD! bring me near this tree in order
that I may drink of its water and take shelter in its shade and I shall not ask
THEE for anything else. HE (ALLAH [S.W.T]) would say: O son of Adam (P.B.U.H),
if I bring you near it you may ask me for something else. He would promise HIM
that he would not ask for anything else. His LORD will excuse him because HE
would see something he cannot help desiring. So HE would bring him near it and
he would enjoy its shade and drink its water. Then a tree would be raised up
for him at the gate of the Paradise, more beautiful than the first two. He
would say: O my LORD! Bring me near this (tree) so that I may enjoy its shade
and drink from its water. I shall not ask THEE for anything else. HE (ALLAH
[S.W.T]) would say: O son of Adam (P.B.U.H)! Did you not promise ME that you
would not ask ME anything else? He would say: Yes, my LORD, but I shall not ask
THEE for anything else. His LORD would excuse him for HE sees something the
temptation of which he could not resist. HE (ALLAH [S.W.T]) would bring him
near to it, and when HE would bring him near it he would hear the voices of the
inhabitants of the Paradise. He would say: O my LORD! Admit me to it. HE ALLAH
[S.W.T]) would say: O son of Adam (P.B.U.H), what will bring an end to your
requests to ME? Will it please you if I give you the whole world and a like one
along with it? He will say: O my LORD! art THOU mocking at me, though THOU art
the LORD of the worlds? Ibn Mas’ud (R.A) laughed and asked (the hearers): Why
don’t you ask me what I am laughing at. They (then) said: Why do you laugh? He
said: It is in this way that the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] laughed.
They (the Companions (R.A) of the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) asked: Why do you
laugh. Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]? He said: On account of the laugh
of the LORD of the universe, when he desirer of Paradise) said THOU mocking at
me though THOU art the LORD of the worlds? He would say: I am not mocking at
you, but I have power to do whatever I will.

Verily, the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S] said: Amongst the inhabitants of Paradise the lowest in rank will be
the person whose face ALLAH [S.W.T] would turn away from the Fire towards the
Paradise, and make a shady tree appear before him. He would say: O my LORD!
Direct my steps to this tree so that I (should enjoy) its shade; and the rest
of the Hadith is like that narrated by Ibn Mas’ud (R.A), but he did not
mention: "HE (ALLAH [S.W.T]) would say: O son of Adam (P.B.U.H)! What will
bring an end to your making requests to ME" to the end of the tradition.
In it, he added: ALLAH [S.W.T] will remind him: Ask such and such, and when his
expectations would be realized, ALLAH [S.W.T] would say: That is for you, and
ten times as much. He said that he would then enter his house and his two wives
with large and dark eyes would enter after him. They will say: Praise be to
ALLAH, WHO has Created you for us and us for you. He will say: No one has been
given the like of what I have been given.

The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said: "I was shown
the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women who were
ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in ALLAH
[S.W.T]?" (Or are they ungrateful to ALLAH [S.W.T]?) He replied,
"They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors
and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good
(benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her
liking), she will say, 'I have never received any good from you."

he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that
the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked,
"Why is it so, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]?" He replied,
"You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen
anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious
sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?"
He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one
man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the
deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor
fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said,
"This is the deficiency in her religion."

Narrated 'Itban
bin Malik (R.A):
Who was one of the Companions (R.A) of ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and one of the Ansar's who took part in the battle
of Badr: I came to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and said, "O ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] I have weak eyesight and I lead my people in
prayers. When it rains the water flows in the valley between me and my people
so I cannot go to their Mosque to lead them in prayer. O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S]! I wish you would come to my house and pray in it so that I
could take that place as a Musalla. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said.
"ALLAH willing, I will do so." Next day after the sun rose high,
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and Abu Bakr (R.A) came and ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked for permission to enter. I gave him permission and he
did not sit on entering the house but said to me, "Where do you like me to
pray?" I pointed to a place in my house. So ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] stood there and said, 'ALLAHU Akbar', and we all got up and aligned
behind him and offered a two-Rak'at prayer and ended it with Taslim. We
requested him to stay for a meal called "Khazira" which we had
prepared for him. Many members of our family gathered in the house and one of
them said, "Where is Malik bin Al-Dukhaishin or Ibn Al-Dukhshun?" One
of them replied, "He is a hypocrite and does not love ALLAH [S.W.T] and
HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S]." Hearing that, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
said, "Do not say so. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None has the right
to be Worshiped but ALLAH' for ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Sake Only?" He said,
"ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S] know better. We have seen him
helping and advising hypocrites." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said,
"ALLAH [S.W.T] has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who say, 'None has
the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH' for ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Sake Only."

Huraira (R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "In very hot
weather delay the Zuhr prayer till it becomes (a bit) cooler because the
severity of heat is from the raging of Hell-fire. The Hell-fire of Hell
complained to its LORD saying: O LORD! My parts are eating (destroying) one
another. So ALLAH [S.W.T] allowed it to take two breaths, one in the winter and
the other in the summer. The breath in the summer is at the time when you feel
the severest heat and the breath in the winter is at the time when you feel the
severest cold."

sat near his head and asked him to embrace Islam. The boy looked at his father,
who was sitting there; the latter told him to obey Abu-l-Qasim [S.A.W.S] and
the boy embraced Islam. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] came out saying: "Praises be

Sahih
Bukhari: Volume 2, Book 23: Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz), Number 468:
Narrated Samura
bin Jundab (R.A):
Whenever the Prophet [S.A.W.S] finished the
(morning) prayer, he would face us and ask, "Who amongst you had a dream
last night?" So if anyone had seen a dream he would narrate it. The
Prophet [S.A.W.S] would say: "Masha'ALLAH" (An Arabic maxim meaning
literally, 'What ALLAH wished,' and it indicates a good omen.) One day, he asked
us whether anyone of us had seen a dream. We replied in the negative. The
Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "But I had seen (a dream) last night that two men
(P.B.U.T) came to me, caught hold of my hands, and took me to the Sacred Land
(Jerusalem). There, I saw a person sitting and another standing with an iron
hook in his hand pushing it inside the mouth of the former till it reached the
jaw-bone, and then tore off one side of his cheek, and then did the same with
the other side; in the mean-time the first side of his cheek became normal
again and then he repeated the same operation again. I said, 'What is this?'
They told me to proceed on and we went on till we came to a man lying flat on
his back, and another man standing at his head carrying a stone or a piece of
rock, and crushing the head of the lying man, with that stone. Whenever he
struck him, the stone rolled away. The man went to pick it up and by the time
he returned to him, the crushed head had returned to its normal state and the
man came back and struck him again (and so on). I said, 'Who is this?' They
told me to proceed on; so we proceeded on and passed by a hole like an oven;
with a narrow top and wide bottom, and the fire was kindling underneath that
hole. Whenever the fire-flame went up, the people were lifted up to such an
extent that they about to get out of it, and whenever the fire got quieter, the
people went down into it, and there were naked men and women in it. I said,
'Who is this?' They told me to proceed on. So we proceeded on till we reached a
river of blood and a man was in it, and another man was standing at its bank
with stones in front of him, facing the man standing in the river. Whenever the
man in the river wanted to come out, the other one threw a stone in his mouth
and caused him to retreat to his original position; and so whenever he wanted
to come out the other would throw a stone in his mouth, and he would retreat to
his original position. I asked, 'What is this?' They told me to proceed on and
we did so till we reached a well-flourished green garden having a huge tree and
near its root was sitting an old man with some children. (I saw) Another man
near the tree with fire in front of him and he was kindling it up. Then they
(i.e. my two companions (P.B.U.T)) made me climb up the tree and made me enter
a house, better than which I have ever seen. In it were some old men and young
men, women and children. Then they took me out of this house and made me climb
up the tree and made me enter another house that was better and superior (to
the first) containing old and young people. I said to them (i.e. my two
companions (P.B.U.T)), 'You have made me ramble all the night. Tell me all
about that I have seen.' They said, 'Yes. As for the one whose cheek you saw
being torn away, he was a liar and he used to tell lies, and the people would
report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So, he
will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection. The one whose head you
saw being crushed is the one whom ALLAH [S.W.T] had given the knowledge of
Qur’an (i.e. knowing it by heart) but he used to sleep at night (i.e. he did
not recite it then) and did not use to act upon it (i.e. upon its orders etc.)
by day; and so this punishment will go on till the Day of Resurrection. And
those you saw in the hole (like oven) were adulterers (those men and women who
commit illegal sexual intercourse). And those you saw in the river of blood
were those dealing in Riba (usury). And the old man who was sitting at the base
of the tree was Abraham (P.B.U.H) and the little children around him were the
offspring of the people. And the one who was kindling the fire was Malik
(P.B.U.H), the gate-keeper of the Hell-fire. And the first house in which you
have one was the house of the common believers, and the second house was of the
Martyrs. I am Gabriel (P.B.U.H) and this is Michael (P.B.U.H). Raise your
head.' I raised my head and saw a thing like a cloud over me. They said, 'That
is your place.' I said, 'Let me enter my place.' They said, 'You still have
some life which you have not yet completed, and when you complete (that
remaining portion of your life) you will then enter your place.'"

While I was sitting with ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] two person came to him; one of them complained about his
poverty and the other complained about the prevalence of robberies. ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "As regards stealing and robberies,
there will shortly come a time when a caravan will go to Mecca (from Medina)
without any guard. And regarding poverty, The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not
be established till one of you wanders about with his object of charity and
will not find anybody to accept it. And (no doubt) each one of you will stand
in front of ALLAH [S.W.T] and there will be neither a curtain nor an
interpreter between him and ALLAH [S.W.T], and ALLAH [S.W.T] will ask him, 'Did
not I give you wealth?' He will reply in the affirmative. ALLAH [S.W.T] will
further ask, 'Didn't I send a Messenger to you?' And again that person will
reply in the affirmative. Then he will look to his right and he will see
nothing but Hell-fire, and then he will look to his left and will see nothing but
Hell-fire. And so, any (each one) of you should save himself from the fire even
by giving half of a date-fruit (in charity). And if you do not find a half
date-fruit, then (you can do it through saying) a good pleasant word (to your
brethren).

delivered the sermon and ordered the people to give alms. He said, "O
people! Give alms." Then he went towards the women and said. "O
women! Give alms, for I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of
Hell-Fire were you (women)." The women asked, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S]! What is the reason for it?" He replied, "O women!
You curse frequently, and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen
anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. O women, some of
you can lead a cautious wise man astray." Then he left. And when he
reached his house, Zainab (R.A), the wife of Ibn Masud (R.A), came and asked
permission to enter. It was said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! It
is Zainab (R.A)." He asked, 'Which Zainab (R.A)?" The reply was that
she was the wife of Ibn Mas'ud (R.A). He said, "Yes, allow her to
enter." And she was admitted. Then she said, "O Prophet of ALLAH
[S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]! Today you ordered people to give alms and I had an ornament
and intended to give it as alms, but Ibn Masud (R.A) said that he and his
children deserved it more than anybody else." The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
replied, "Ibn Masud (R.A) had spoken the truth. Your husband and your
children had more right to it than anybody else."

The Prophet [S.A.W.S] sent a Sariya under the
command of a man from the Ansar and ordered the soldiers to obey him. He (i.e.
the commander) became angry and said "Didn't the Prophet [S.A.W.S] order
you to obey me!" They replied, "Yes." He said, "Collect
fire-wood for me." So they collected it. He said, "Make a fire."
When they made it, he said, "Enter it (i.e. the fire)." So they
intended to do that and started holding each other and saying, "We run
towards (i.e. take refuge with) the Prophet [S.A.W.S] from the fire." They
kept on saying that till the fire was extinguished and the anger of the
commander abated. When that news reached the Prophet [S.A.W.S] he said,
"If they had entered it (i.e. the fire), they would not have come out of
it till the Day of Resurrection. Obedience (to somebody) is required when he
enjoins what is good."

(Ascension to the Heaven "Miraj") which WE showed you (O Muhammad
[S.A.W.S] as an actual eye witness) but as a trial for mankind.' (17.60) It was
an actual eye-witness which was shown to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
during the night he was taken on a journey (through the heavens). And the
cursed tree is the tree of Az-Zaqqum (a bitter pungent tree which grows at the
bottom of Hell).

ALLAH [S.W.T] make me be sacrificed for you. Doesn't ALLAH [S.W.T] say:

It is reported

(Musayyib b. Hazm (R.A)):
That when Abu Talib was about to die, the
Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] came to him and found with him Abu Jahl
(‘Amr b. Hisham) and ‘Abdullah b. Abi Umayya ibn al-Mughirah. The Messenger of
ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said: My uncle, you just make a profession that there
is no god but ALLAH, and I will bear testimony before ALLAH [S.W.T] (of your
being a believer), Abu Jahl and ‘Abdullah b. Abi Umayya addressing him said:
Abu Talib, would you abandon the religion of ‘Abdul-Muttalib? The Messenger of
ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] constantly requested him (to accept his offer), and (on
the other hand) was repeated the same statement (of Abu Jahl and ‘Abdullah b.
Abi Umayya) till Abu Talib gave his final decision and be stuck to the religion
of ‘Abdul-Muttalib and refused to profess that there is no god but ALLAH. Upon
this the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] remarked: By ALLAH [S.W.T], I
will persistently beg pardon for you till I am forbidden to do so (by ALLAH
[S.W.T]), It was then that ALLAH [S.W.T], the MAGNIFICENT and the GLORIOUS,
revealed this verse: "It is not meet for the Prophet and for those who
believe that they should beg pardon for the polytheists, even though they were
their kith and kin, after it had been made known to them that they were the
denizens of Hell" (9. 113) And it was said to the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S]: "Verily thou canst not guide to the right path whom thou
lovest. And it is ALLAH [S.W.T] WHO guideth whom HE will, and HE Knoweth best
who are the guided"(28. 56).

say: ALLAH is the Greatest, ALLAH is the Greatest, the Messenger of ALLAH
[S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] remarked: He is following al-Fitra (al-Islam). Then hearing
him say: I testify that there is no god but ALLAH. There is no god but ALLAH,
the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said: You have come out of the Fire
(of Hell). They looked at him and found that he was a goatherd.
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 6, Book 5: Zakat (Kitab Al-Zakat), Number 2161:
Abu Huraira
(R.A) reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying:
If any owner of gold or silver does not pay what is due on him, when the Day of
Resurrection would come, plates of fire would be beaten out for him; these
would then be heated in the fire of Hell and his sides, his forehead and his
back would be cauterized with them. Whenever these cool down, (the process is)
repeated during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until
judgment is pronounced among servants, and he sees whether his path is to take
him to Paradise or to Hell. It was said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S],
what about the camel? He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: If any owner of the
camel does not pay what is due on him, and of his due in that (camel) is (also)
to milk it on the day when it comes down to water. When the Day of Resurrection
comes a soft sandy plain would be set for him, as extensive as possible, (he
will find) that not a single young one is missing, and they will trample him
with their hoofs and bite him with their mouths. As often as the first of them
passes him, the last of them would be made to return during a day the extent of
which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among servants
and he sees whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell. It was
(again) said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], what about cows (cattle)
and sheep? He said: It any owner of the cattle and sheep does not pay what is
due on them, when the Day of Resurrection comes a soft sandy plain would be
spread for them, he will find none of them missing, with twisted horns, without
horns or with a broken horn, and they will gore him with their horns and
trample him with their hoofs. As often as the first of them passes him the last
of them would be made to return to him during a day the extent of which would
be fifty thousand years, until judgment would be pronounced among the servants.
And he would be shown his path-path leading him to Paradise or to Hell. It was
said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], what about the horse? Upon this he
said: The horses are of three types. To one than (these are) a burden, and to
another man (these are) a covering, and still to another man (these are) a
source of reward. The one for whom these are a burden is the person who rears
them in order to show off, for vainglory and for opposing the Muslims; so they
are a burden for him. The one for whom these are a covering is the person who
rears them for the Sake of ALLAH [S.W.T] but does not forget the right of ALLAH
[S.W.T] concerning their backs and their necks, and so they are a covering for
him. As for those which bring reward (these refer to) the person who rears them
for the Sake of ALLAH [S.W.T] to be used for Muslims and he puts them in meadow
and field. And whatever thing do these eat from that meadow and field would be
recorded on his behalf as good deeds, as would also the amount of their dung
and urine. And these would not break their halter and prance a course or two
without having got recorded the amount of their hoof marks and their dung as a
good deed on his behalf (on behalf of their owner). And their master does not
bring them past a river from which they drink, though he did not intend to
quench their thirst, but ALLAH [S.W.T] would record for him the amount of what
they drink on his behalf as deeds. It was said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S], what about the asses? Upon this he said: Nothing has been revealed
to me in regard to the asses (in particular) except this one verse of a
comprehensive nature: "He who does an atom’s weight of good will see it,
and he who does an atom’s weight of evil will see it" (99.7)

promise. Then he cast a glance (and by chance) found a puppy under his cot and
said: ‘Aisha (R.A), when did this dog enter here? She said: BY ALLAH [S.W.T], I

came and ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] said to him: You promised me and I

funds of virtues) since he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against
others and unlawfully consumed the wealth of others and shed the blood of
others and beat others, and his virtues would be credited to the account of one

women who would be naked in spite of their being dressed, who are seduced (to

al-Khudri (R.A) reported:
I did not hear this hadith from ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] directly but it was Zaid b. Thibit (R.A) who
narrated it from him. As ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] was going along with
us towards the dwellings of Bani an-Najjar, riding upon his pony, it shied and
he was about to fall. He found four, five or six graves there. He said: Who
amongst you knows about those lying in the graves? A person said: It is I.
Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: In what state did they die? He
said: They died as polytheists. He said: These people are passing through the
ordeal in the graves. If it were not the reason that you would stop burying
(your dead) in the graves on listening to the torment in the grave which I am
listening to, I would have certainly made you hear that. Then turning his face
towards us, he said: Seek refuge with ALLAH [S.W.T] from the torment of Hell.
They said: We seek refuge with ALLAH [S.W.T] from the torment of Hell. He said:
Seek refuge with ALLAH [S.W.T] from the torment of the grave. They said: We
seek refuge with ALLAH [S.W.T] from the torment of the grave. He said: Seek
refuge with ALLAH [S.W.T] from turmoil, its visible and invisible (aspects),
and they said: We seek refuge with ALLAH [S.W.T] from turmoil and its visible
and invisible aspects and he said: Seek refuge with ALLAH [S.W.T] from the
turmoil of the dajjal, and they said: We seek refuge with ALLAH [S.W.T] from
the turmoil of the dajjal.

There would soon be turmoil. Behold! There would be turmoil in which the one
who would be seated would be better than one who would stand and the one who
would stand would be better than one who would run. Behold! When the turmoil
comes or it appears, the one who has camel should stick to his camel and he who
has sheep or goat should stick to his sheep and goat and he who has land should
stick to the land. A person said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S], what is
your opinion about one who has neither camel nor sheep nor land? Thereupon, he
said: He should take hold of his sword and beat its edge with the help of stone
and then try to find a way of escape. O ALLAH [S.W.T], I have conveyed (THY
Message); O ALLAH [S.W.T], I have conveyed (THY Message); O ALLAH [S.W.T], I
have conveyed (THY Message). A person said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger
[S.A.W.S], what is your opinion if I am drawn to a rank in spite of myself, or
in one of the groups and made to march and a man strikes with his sword or
there comes an arrow and kills me? Thereupon he said: He will bear the
punishment of his sin and that of yours and he would be one amongst the
denizens of Hell.

have seen its eastern and western ends. And the dominion of my Ummah would
reach those ends which have been drawn near me and I have been granted the red
and the white treasure and I begged my LORD for my Ummah that it should not be
destroyed because of famine, nor be dominated by an enemy who is not amongst
them to take their lives and destroy them root and branch, and my LORD said:
Muhammad [S.A.W.S], whenever I make a decision, there is none to change it.
Well, I grant you for your Ummah that it would not be destroyed by famine and
it would not be dominated by an enemy who would not be amongst it and would
take their lives and destroy them root and branch even if all the people from
the different parts of the world join hands together (for this purpose), but it
would be from amongst them, viz. your Ummah, that some people would kill the
others or imprison the others.

Hadith of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] in regard to the turmoil as he
told about it? I said: It is I. Thereupon he said: You are bold (enough to make
this claim). And he further said: How? I said: I heard ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying: There would (first) be turmoil for a person in
regard to his family, his property, his own self, his children, his neighbors
(and the sins committed in their connection) would be expiated by fasting,
prayer, charity, enjoining good and prohibiting evil. Thereupon ‘Umar (R.A)
said: I do not mean (that turmoil on a small scale) but that one which would
emerge like the mounting waves of the ocean. I said: Commander of the Faithful,
you have nothing to do with it, for the door is closed between you and that. He
said: Would that door be broken or opened? I said: No, it would be broken.
Thereupon he said: Then it would not be closed despite best efforts. We said to
Hudhaifa (R.A): Did Umar (R.A) knew the door? Thereupon he said: Yes, he knew
it (for certain) just as one knows that night precede the next day. And I
narrated to him something in which there was nothing fabricated. Shaqiq (R.A)
(one of the narrators) said: We dared not ask Hudhaifa (R.A) about that door.
So we requested Masrdq (R.A) to ask him. So he asked him and he said: (By that
door, he meant) ‘Umar (R.A).

with water) and the other one (having) fire (within it), and what you would see
as fire would be water and what you would see as water would be fire. So he who
amongst you is able to see that and is desirous of water should drink out of that
which he sees as fire.

ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying that
ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and GLORIOUS, said: MY servants, I have made oppression
unlawful for ME and unlawful for you, so do not commit oppression against one another.
MY servants, all of you are liable to err except one whom I guide on the right path,
so seek right guidance from ME so that I should direct you to the right path. O
MY servants, all of you are hungry (needy) except one whom I feed, so beg food from
ME, so that I may give that to you. O MY servants, all of you are naked (need clothes)
except one whom I provide garments, so beg clothes from ME, so that I should clothe
you. O MY servants, you commit error night and day and I am there to pardon your
sins, so beg pardon from ME, so that I should grant you pardon. O MY servants, you
can neither do ME any harm nor can you do ME any good. O MY servants, even if the
first amongst you and the last amongst you and even the whole of human race of yours,
and that of jinns even, become (equal in) ALLAH [S.W.T] conscious like the heart
of a single person amongst you, nothing would add to MY Power. O MY servants, even
if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours
and that of the jinns too in unison become the most wicked (all beating) like the
heart of a single person, it would cause no loss to MY Power. O MY servants, even
if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours
and that of jinns also all stand in one plain ground and you ask ME and I confer
upon every person what he asks for, it would not in any way, cause any loss to ME
(even less) than that which is caused to the ocean by dipping the needle in it.
MY servants, these for you I shall reward you for then, so he who deeds of yours
which I am recording finds good should Praise ALLAH and he who does not find that
should not blame anyone but his ownself. Sa'id (R.A) said: That when Abu Idris Khaulini
(R.A) narrated this hadith he knelt upon his knees.

[S.W.T] has some Angels (P.B.U.T) who look for those who celebrate the Praises of
ALLAH [S.W.T] on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating
the Praises of ALLAH [S.W.T], they call each other, saying, "Come to the object
of your pursuit.'" He added, "Then the Angels (P.B.U.T) encircle them
with their wings up to the sky of the world." He added. "(after those
people celebrated the Praises of ALLAH [S.W.T], and the Angels (P.B.U.T) go back),
their LORD, asks them (those Angels (P.B.U.T)) - though HE knows better than them----'What
do MY slaves say?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'they say: Subhan ALLAH, ALLAHU Akbar,
and Alham-du-lillah, ALLAH [S.W.T] then says 'Did they see ME?' The Angels (P.B.U.T)
reply, 'No! By ALLAH [S.W.T], they didn't see YOU.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says, How it would
have been if they saw ME?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'If they saw YOU, they would
Worship YOU more devoutly and celebrate YOUR Glory more deeply, and declare YOUR
freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says (to the
Angels (P.B.U.T)), 'What do they ask ME for?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'They
ask YOU for Paradise.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says (to the Angels (P.B.U.T)), 'Did they see
it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) say, 'No! By ALLAH [S.W.T], O LORD! They did not see it.'
ALLAH [S.W.T] says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T)
say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek
it with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says,
'From what do they seek refuge?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'They seek refuge from
the (Hell) Fire.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says, 'Did they see it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) say,
'No! By ALLAH [S.W.T], O LORD! They did not see it.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says, How it
would have been if they saw it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) say, 'If they saw it they
would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.'
Then ALLAH [S.W.T] says, 'I make you witnesses that I have Forgiven them."'
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] added, "One of the Angels (P.B.U.T) would
say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just
come for some need.' ALLAH [S.W.T] would say, 'These are those people whose companions
will not be reduced to misery.'"

and said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] ordered (the appointed Angels (P.B.U.T) over you)
that the good and the bad deeds be written, and HE then showed (the way) how (to
write). If somebody intends to do a good deed and he does not do it, then ALLAH
[S.W.T] will write for him a full good deed (in his account with HIM); and if he
intends to do a good deed and actually did it, then ALLAH [S.W.T] will write for
him (in his account with HIM) (its reward equal) from ten to seven hundred times
to many more times: and if somebody intended to do a bad deed and he does not do
it, then ALLAH [S.W.T] will write a full good deed (in his account with HIM), and

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

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 a 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 [S.W.T] said (to them). 'Have I done any oppression to you
as regards your rights?' They said, "No." Then ALLAH [S.W.T] said, 'That

Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
One day while the Prophet [S.A.W.S] was sitting
in the company of some people, (The Angel) Gabriel (P.B.U.H) came and asked, "What
is faith?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, 'Faith is to believe
in ALLAH [S.W.T], HIS Angels (P.B.U.T), (the) meeting with HIM, HIS Apostles (P.B.U.T),
and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?"
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, "To Worship ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone
and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat)
and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What
is Ihsan (perfection)?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, "To
Worship ALLAH [S.W.T] as if you see HIM, and if you cannot achieve this state of
devotion then you must consider that HE is looking at you." Then he further
asked, "When will the Hour be established?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will
inform you about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady)
gives birth to her master.
2. When the shepherds
of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of
higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except ALLAH
[S.W.T]. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] then recited: "Verily, with ALLAH (Alone) is
the Knowledge of the Hour--." (31.34) Then that man (Gabriel (P.B.U.H)) left
and the Prophet [S.A.W.S] asked his companions (R.A) to call him back, but they
could not see him. Then the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "That was Gabriel (P.B.U.H)
who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah (R.A) said: He

reported:
We were entrusted with the task of tending the
camels. On my turn when I came back in the evening after grazing them in the pastures,
I found ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Messenger [S.A.W.S] stand and address the people. I heard
these words of his: If any Muslim performs ablution well, then stands and prays
two rak'ahs setting about them with his heart as well as his face, Paradise would
be guaranteed to him. I said: What a fine thing is this! And a narrator who was
before me said: The first was better than even this. When I cast a glance, I saw
that it was 'Umar (R.A) who said: I see that you have just come and observed: If
anyone amongst you performs the ablution, and then completes the ablution well and
then says: I testify that there is no god but ALLAH and that Muhammad [S.A.W.S]
is the servant of ALLAH and HIS Messenger, the eight gates of Paradise would be
opened for him and he may enter by whichever of them he wishes.

[S.A.W.S] came out and said: Which of you would like to go out every morning to
Buthan or al-’Aqiq and bring two large she camels without being guilty of sin or
without severing the ties of kinship? We said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S],
we would like to do it. Upon this he said: Does not one of you go out in the morning
to the Mosque and teach or recite two verses from the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T], the
MAJESTIC and GLORIOUS? That is better for him than two she camels, and three verses
are better (than three she camels), and four verses are better for him than four
(she camels), and to on their number in camels.

ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] say: Recite
the Qur’an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those
who recite It. Recite the two bright ones, Surah al-Baqara and Surah Al ‘Imran,
for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two
flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surah al-Baqara,
for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief,
and the magicians cannot confront it. (Mu’awiya (R.A) said: It has been conveyed
to me that here Batala means magicians.)

This as a gate opened in heaven today which had never been opened before. Then when
an Angel (P.B.U.H) descended through it, he said: This is an Angel (P.B.U.H) who
came down to the earth who had never come down before. He greeted and said: Rejoice
in two lights given to you which have not been given to any Prophet (P.B.U.T) before
you: Falihat al-Kitab (1.1-7) and the concluding verses of Suarah al-Baqara (2.286).
You will never recite a letter from them for which you will not be given (a reward).

know best. He again said: Abu’l-Mundhir (R.A), do you know the verse from the Book

he does so." They asked him and he said, "I do so because it mentions

thing upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have surpassed you?
Nobody would overtake you and you would be better than the people amongst whom you
live except those who would do the same. Say, "Subhan-ALLAH", "Alhamdu-lillah"

We differed and some of us said that we should say, "Subhan-ALLAH" thirty
three times and "Alhamdu lillah" thirty three times and "ALLAHU Akbar"

[S.A.W.S], the rich have taken away (air the) reward. They observe prayer as we
do; they keep the fasts as we keep, and they give sadaqa out of their surplus riches.
Upon this he (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: Has ALLAH [S.W.T] not prescribed
for you (a course) by following which you can (also) do sadaqa? In every declaration
of the Glorification of ALLAH [S.W.T] (i.e. saying Subhan ALLAH) there is a sadaqa,
and every Takbir (i.e. saying ALLAHU Akbar) is a sadaqa, and every Praise of HIS
(saying al-Hamdu Lillah) is a sadaqa and every declaration that HE is ONE (La illha
ill-ALLAH) is a sadaqa, and enjoining of good is a sadaqa, and forbidding of that
which is evil is a sadaqa, and in man's sexual intercourse (with his wife,) there
is a sadaqa. They (the Companions (R.A)) said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S],
is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual passion among us? He said: Tell
me, if he were to devote it to something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his
part? Similarly, if he were to devote it to something lawful, he should have a reward.

excellent than this, except one who has done more than this (who utters these words

beauty, but say: 'Would that this brick be put in its place!' So I am that
brick, and I am the last of the Prophets (P.B.U.T)."

Abu Huraira (R.A)
reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying:
The people most loved by me from amongst my Ummah would be those who would come
after me but everyone amongst them would have the keenest desire to catch a glimpse
of me even at the cost of his family and wealth.
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 5, Book 57: Companions (R.A) of The Prophet [S.A.W.S], Number 22:
Narrated Abu Said
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Do not abuse
my companions (R.A) for if any one of you spent gold equal to Uhud (in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Cause) it would not be equal to a Mud or even a half Mud spent by one of them."
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 5, Book 57: Companions (R.A) of The Prophet [S.A.W.S], Number 37:
Narrated Anas (R.A):
A man asked the Prophet [S.A.W.S] about the Hour
(i.e. Day of Judgment) saying, "When will the Hour be?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
said, "What have you prepared for it?" The man said, "Nothing, except
that I love ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S]." The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
said, "You will be with those whom you love." We had never been so glad
as we were on hearing that saying of the Prophet [S.A.W.S] (i.e. "You will
be with those whom you love.") Therefore, I love the Prophet [S.A.W.S], Abu
Bakr and 'Umar (R.A), and I hope that I will be with them because of my love for
them though my deeds are not similar to theirs.

(R.A):
I said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]!
Who will be the luckiest person who will gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?"
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "O Abu Huraira (R.A)! I have thought that none
will ask me about this Hadith before you, as I know your longing for the (learning
of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection
will be the one who said, 'None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH,' sincerely
from the bottom of his heart."

Huraira (R.A) said:
"The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
said, May he be humiliated, the man in whose presence I am mentioned and he does
not send Salah upon me; may he be humiliated, the man who sees the month of Ramadan
come and go, and he is not forgiven; may he be humiliated, the man whose parents
live to old age and they do not cause him to be granted admittance to Paradise."
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 2, Book 22: Actions while Praying, Number 294:
Narrated 'Abdullah
bin Masud (R.A):
We used to say the greeting, name and greet each
other in the prayer. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] heard it and said:--"Say,
'At-tahiyyatu lil-lahi was-salawatu wat-taiyibatu. Assalamu 'Alaika aiyuha-n-Nabiyu
wa-rahmatu-l-lahi wa-barakatuhu. Assalamu alaina wa-'ala 'ibadi-l-lahi as-salihin.
Ashhadu an la ilaha illa-l-lah wa ashhadu anna Muhammad an 'abdu hu wa Rasuluh.
(All the Compliments are for ALLAH and all the Prayers and all the Good things (are
for ALLAH). Peace be on you, O Prophet, and ALLAH's Mercy and Blessings (are on
you). And Peace be on us and on the good (pious) worshipers of ALLAH. I testify
that none has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH and that Muhammad is HIS slave
and Apostle.) So, when you have said this, then you have surely sent the greetings
to every good (pious) worshiper of ALLAH [S.W.T], whether he be in the Heaven or
on the Earth."
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 4, Book 55: Prophets (P.B.U.T), Number 589:
Narrated Abdur-Rahman
bin Abi Laila (R.A):
Ka'b bin Ujrah (R.A) met me and said, "Shall
I not give you a present I got from the Prophet [S.A.W.S]?" 'Abdur-Rahman (R.A)
said, "Yes, give it to me." I said, "We asked ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] saying, 'O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! How should one (ask ALLAH
[S.W.T] to) send blessings on you, the members of the family, for ALLAH [S.W.T]
has taught us how to salute you (in the prayer)?' He said, 'Say: O ALLAH! Send YOUR
Mercy on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, as YOU sent YOUR Mercy on Abraham
and on the family of Abraham, for YOU are the MOST PRAISEWORTHY, the MOST GLORIOUS.
O ALLAH! Send YOUR Blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as YOU sent
YOUR Blessings on Abraham and on the family of Abraham, for YOU are the MOST PRAISEWORTHY,
the MOST GLORIOUS.'"

and said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! Who is more entitled to be
treated with the best companionship by me?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Your
mother." The man said. "Who is next?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said,
"Your mother." The man further said, "Who is next?" The Prophet
[S.A.W.S] said, "Your mother." The man asked for the fourth time, "Who

done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijja)."
Then some companions (R.A) of the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Not even Jihad?"
He replied, "Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself
and his property in danger (for ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Sake) and does not return with any
of those things."
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 28, Book 6: Fasting (Kitab Al-Sawm), Number 2566:
Abu Huraira (R.A)
reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying:
ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and MAJESTIC said: Every act of the son of Adam (P.B.U.H)
is for him, except fasting. It is (exclusively) meant for ME and I (Alone) will
reward it. Fasting is a shield. When any one of you is fasting on a day, he should
neither indulge in obscene language, nor raise the voice; or if anyone reviles him
or tries to quarrel with him he should say: I am a person fasting. By HIM, in WHOSE
Hand is the life of Muhammad [S.A.W.S], the breath of the observer of fast is sweeter
to ALLAH [S.W.T] on the Day of Judgment than the fragrance of musk. The one who
fasts has two (occasions) of joy, one when he breaks the fast he is glad with the
breaking of (the fast) and one when he meets his LORD he is glad with his fast.

[S.A.W.S] concluded with these words: There would be bounties which the eye has
not seen and the ear has not heard and no human heart has ever perceived them. He
then recited this verse: "They forsake (their) beds, calling upon their LORD
in fear and in hope, and spend out of what WE have given them. So no soul knows
what refreshment of the eyes is hidden for them; a reward for what they did"
(32.16-17)
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 2: Belief, Number 38:
Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Religion is very
easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue
in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and
receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by
Worshiping in the mornings, the nights."

ALLAH [S.W.T], to practice sorcery, to kill the life which ALLAH [S.W.T] has forbidden
except for a just cause (according to Islamic law), to eat up Riba (usury), to eat

Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 11: Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Number 629:
Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "ALLAH [S.W.T]
will give shade, to seven, on the Day when there will be no shade but HIS. (These
seven persons are) a just ruler, a youth who has been brought up in the Worship
of ALLAH [S.W.T] (i.e. Worships ALLAH [S.W.T] sincerely from childhood), a man whose
heart is attached to the Mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the Mosque
in congregation), two persons who love each other Only for ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Sake
and they meet and part in ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Cause Only, a man who refuses the call
of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: I
am afraid of ALLAH [S.W.T], a man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his
left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much
he has given in charity), and a person who remembers ALLAH [S.W.T] in seclusion
and his eyes are then flooded with tears."

"A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for
showing off; which of them fights in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
said, "He who fights that ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Word (i.e. Islam) should be Superior,
fights in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause."
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 34, Book 20: On Government (Kitab Al-Imara), Number 4655:
It has been
narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (R.A):
That the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
said: Of the men he lives the best life who holds the reins of his horse (ever
ready to march) in the way of ALLAH [S.W.T], flies on its back whenever he
hears a fearful shriek, or a call for help, flies to it seeking death at places
where it can be expected. (Next to him) is a man who lives with his sheep at a
hill-top or in a valley, says his prayers regularly, gives Zakat and Worships
his LORD until death comes to him.

in ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S], offer prayer perfectly and fasts the
month of Ramadan, will rightfully be granted Paradise by ALLAH [S.W.T], no matter
whether he fights in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause or remains in the land where he is born."
The people said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! Shall we acquaint the
people with this good news?" He said, "Paradise has one-hundred grades
which ALLAH [S.W.T] has reserved for the Mujahidin who fight in HIS Cause, and the
distance between each of two grades is like the distance between the Heaven and
the Earth. So, when you ask ALLAH [S.W.T] (for something), ask for Al-Firdaus which
is the best and highest part of Paradise." (i.e. the sub-narrator added, "I
think the Prophet [S.A.W.S] also said, 'Above it (i.e. Al-Firdaus) is the Throne
of BENEFICENT (i.e. ALLAH [S.W.T]), and from it originate the rivers of Paradise.")
Sahih Muslim: Chapter 83, Book 1: Faith (Kitab Al Iman), Number 0363:
It is reported on
the authority of al-Mughira b. Shu’ba (R.A):
That the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said:
Moses (P.B.U.H) asked his LORD: Who amongst the inhabitants of Paradise is the lowest to rank? HE (ALLAH [S.W.T]) said: The
person who would be admitted into Paradise last of all among those deserving of
Paradise who are admitted to it. I would be said
to him: Enter Paradise. He would say: O my LORD! How (should I enter) while the
people have settled in their apartments and taken the shares (portions)? It would
be said to him: Would you be pleased if there be for you like the kingdom of a king
amongst the kings of the world? He would say: I am pleased my LORD. HE (ALLAH [S.W.T])
would say: For you is that, and like that, and like that, and like that, and that.
He would say at the fifth (point): I am well pleased, my LORD. HE (ALLAH [S.W.T])
would say: It is for you and ten times like it, and for you is what your self desires
and your eye enjoys. He would say: I am well pleased, my LORD. He (Moses (P.B.U.H))
said: (Which is) the highest of their (inhabitants of Paradise) ranks? HE (ALLAH
[S.W.T]) said: They are those Whom I choose. I establish their Honor with MY OWN
Hand and then set a seal over it (and they would be Blessed with Bounties) which
no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human mind has perceived: and this is substantiated
by the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and GREAT: "So no soul knows what
delight of the eye is hidden for them; a reward for what they did" (32.17).
