On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: When Allah decreed the Creation He pledged Himself by writing in His book which is laid down with Him: My mercy prevails over my wrath.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, an-Nasa'i
and Ibn Majah).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
Allah Almighty has said: The son of Adam denied Me and he had no right to do so.
And he reviled Me and he had no right to do so. As for his denying Me, it is his
saying: He will not remake me as He made me at first (1) - and the initial
creation [of him] is no easier for Me than remaking him. As for his reviling Me,
it is his saying: Allah has taken to Himself a son, while I am the One, the
Everlasting Refuge. I begot not nor was I begotten, and there is none comparable
to Me.
(1) i.e., bring me back to life after death.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by an-Nasa'i).
On the authority of Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhaniyy (may Allah be
pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) led the morning prayer for us at al-Hudaybiyah following
rainfall during the night. When the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) finished, he faced the people and said to them: Do you know
what your Lord has said? They said: Allah and his Messenger know best. He said:
This morning one of my servants became a believer in Me and one a disbeliever.
As for him who said: We have been given rain by virtue of Allah and His mercy,
that one is a believer in Me, a disbeliever in the stars (1); and as for him who
said: We have been given rain by such-and-such a star, that one is a disbeliever
in Me, a believer in the stars.
(1) The pre-Islamic Arabs believed that rain was brought
about by the movement of stars. This Hadith draws attention to the fact that
whatever be the direct cause of such natural phenomena as rain, it is Allah the
Almighty who is the Disposer of all things.
It is related by al-Bukhari (also by Malik and an-Nasa'i).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
Allah said: Sons of Adam inveigh against [the vicissitudes of] Time, and I am
Time, in My hand is the night and the day (1).
(1) As the Almighty is the Ordainer of all things, to inveigh against
misfortunes that are part of Time is tantamount to inveighing against Him.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (glorified and
exalted be He) said: I am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of having an
associate. Thus he who does an action for someone else's sake as well as Mine
will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me.
It was related by Muslim (also by Ibn Majah).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: The first of people
against whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day of Resurrection will be a
man who died a martyr. He will be brought and Allah will make known to him His
favours and he will recognize them. [ The Almighty] will say: And what did you
do about them? He will say: I fought for you until I died a martyr. He will say:
You have lied - you did but fight that it might be said [of you]: He is
courageous. And so it was said. Then he will be ordered to be dragged along on
his face until he is cast into Hell-fire. [Another] will be a man who has
studied [religious] knowledge and has taught it and who used to recite the
Quran. He will be brought and Allah will make known to his His favours and he
will recognize them. [The Almighty] will say: And what did you do about them? He
will say: I studied [religious] knowledge and I taught it and I recited the
Quran for Your sake. He will say: You have lied - you did but study [religious]
knowledge that it might be said [of you]: He is learned. And you recited the
Quran that it might be said [of you]: He is a reciter. And so it was said. Then
he will be ordered to be dragged along on his face until he is cast into
Hell-fire. [Another] will be a man whom Allah had made rich and to whom He had
given all kinds of wealth. He will be brought and Allah will make known to his
His favours and he will recognize them. [The Almighty] will say: And what did
you do about them? He will say: I left no path [untrodden] in which You like
money to be spent without spending in it for Your sake. He will say: You have
lied - you did but do so that it might be said [of you]: He is open-handed. And
so it was said. Then he will be ordered to be dragged along on his face until he
is cast into Hell-fire.
It was related by Muslim (also by at-Tirmidhi and an-Nasa'i).
On the authority of Uqbah ibn Amir (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said: I heard the messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: Your Lord delights at
a shepherd who, on the peak of a mountain crag, gives the call to prayer and
prays. Then Allah (glorified and exalted be He) say: Look at this servant of
Mine, he gives the call to prayer and performs the prayers; he is in awe of Me.
I have forgiven My servant [his sins] and have admitted him to Paradise.
It was related by an-Nasa'i with a good chain of authorities.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said: A prayer performed by someone who has
not recited the Essence of the Qur'an (1) during it is deficient (and he
repeated the word three times), incomplete. Someone said to Abu Hurayrah: [Even
though] we are behind the imam? (2) He said: Recite it to yourself, for I have
heard the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be up on him) say: Allah
(mighty and sublime be He), had said: I have divided prayer between Myself and
My servant into two halves, and My servant shall have what he has asked for.
When the servant says: Al-hamdu lillahi rabbi l-alamin (3), Allah (mighty and
sublime be He) says: My servant has praised Me. And when he says: Ar-rahmani r-rahim
(4), Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says: My servant has extolled Me, and when
he says: Maliki yawmi d-din (5), Allah says: My servant has glorified Me - and
on one occasion He said: My servant has submitted to My power. And when he says:
Iyyaka na budu wa iyyaka nasta in (6), He says: This is between Me and My
servant, and My servant shall have what he has asked for. And when he says:
Ihdina s-sirata l- mustaqim, siratal ladhina an amta alayhim ghayril-maghdubi
alayhim wa la d-dallin (7), He says: This is for My servant, and My servant
shall have what he has asked for.

It was related by Muslim (also by Malik, at-Tirmidhi, Abu-Dawud, an-Nasa'i
and Ibn Majah).
On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said: Allah (mighty and
sublime be He) says: The fist of his actions for which a servant of Allah will
be held accountable on the Day of Resurrection will be his prayers. If they are
in order, then he will have prospered and succeeded: and if they are wanting,
then he will have failed and lost. If there is something defective in his
obligatory prayers, the Lord (glorified and exalted be He) will say: See if My
servant has any supererogatory prayers with which may be completed that which
was defective in his obligatory prayers. Then the rest of his actions will be
judged in like fashion.
It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah and
Ahmad).
On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said: Allah (mighty and
sublime be He) says: Fasting is Mine and it I who give reward for it. [A man]
gives up his sexual passion, his food and his drink for my sake. Fasting is like
a shield, and he who fasts has two joys: a joy when he breaks his fast and a joy
when he meets his Lord. The change in the breath of the mouth of him who fasts
is better in Allah's estimation than the smell of musk.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim, Malik, at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i
and Ibn Majah).
On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said: Allah (mighty and
sublime be He) said: Spend (on charity), O son of Adam, and I shall spend on
you.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim).
On the authority of Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari
(may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (may the
blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: A man from among those who were
before you was called to account. Nothing in the way of good was found for him
except that he used to have dealings with people and, being well-to-do, he would
order his servants to let off the man in straitened circumstances [from repaying
his debt]. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said that Allah said: We are worthier than
you of that (of being so generous). Let him off.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari and an-Nasa'i).
On the authority of Adiyy ibn Hatim (may
Allah be pleased with him), who said: I was with the Messenger of Allah (may the
blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and there came to him two men: one of
them was complaining of penury (being very poor), while the other was
complaining of brigandry (robbery). The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) said: As for brigandry, it will be but a short
time before a caravan will [be able to] go out of Mecca without a guard. As for
penury, the Hour (Day of Judgement) will not arrive before one of you takes his
charity around without finding anyone to accept it from him. Then (1) one of you
will surely stand before Allah, there being no screed between Him and him, nor
an interpreter to translate for him. Then He will say to him: Did I not bring
you wealth? And he will say: Yes. Then He will say: Did I not send to you a
messenger? And he will say: Yes. And he will look to his right and will see
nothing but Hell-fire, then he will look to his left and will see nothing but
Hell-fire, so let each of you protect himself against Hell-fire, be it with even
half a date - and if he finds it not, then with a kind word.
(1)
i.e. at the time of the Hour.
It was related by
al-Bukhari.
On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH), who said: Allah (glorified
and exalted be He) has supernumerary angels who rove about seeking out
gatherings in which Allah's name is being invoked: they sit with them and fold
their wings round each other, fill in that which is between them and between the
lowest heaven. When [the people in the gathering] depart, [the angels] ascend
and rise up to heaven. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h.) said: Then Allah (mighty and
sublime be He) asks them - [though] He is most knowing about them: From where
have you come? And they say: We have come from some servants of Yours on Earth:
they were glorifying You (Subhana llah), exalting you (Allahu akbar), witnessing
that there is no god but You (La ilaha illa llah), praising You (Al-Hamdu lillah),
and asking [favours] of You. He says: And what do they ask of Me? They say: They
ask of You Your Paradise. He says: And have they seen My Paradise? They say: No,
O Lord. He says: And how would it be were they to have seen My Paradise! They
say: And they ask protection of You. He says: From what do they ask protection
of Me? They say: From Your Hell-fire, O Lord. He says: And have they seen My
Hell-fire? They say: NO. He says: And how would it be were they to have seen My
Hell-fire: They say: And they ask for Your forgiveness. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h)
said: Then He says: I have forgiven them and I have bestowed upon them what they
have asked for, and I have granted them sanctuary from that from which they
asked protection. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said: They say: O Lord, among then is
So-and-so, a much sinning servant, who was merely passing by and sat down with
them. He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said: And He says: And to him [too] I have given
forgiveness: he who sits with such people shall not suffer.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, at-Tirmidhi, and an-Nasa'i).
On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (PBUH) said: Allah the
Almighty said: I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes
mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to
Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in
an assemble better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw
near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at
speed.
(1) Another possible rendering of the Arabic is: "I am as My servant expects
Me to be". The meaning is that forgiveness and acceptance of repentance by the
Almighty is subject to His servant truly believing that He is forgiving and
merciful. However, not to accompany such belief with right action would be to
mock the Almighty.
It was related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).
On the authority of son of Abbas (may
Allah be pleased with them both), from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), among the
sayings he related from his Lord (glorified and exalted be He) is that He said:
Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones. Then He explained it [by
saying that] he who has intended a good deed and has not done it, Allah writes
it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done
it, Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds to seven hundred
times, or many times over. But if he has intended a bad deed and has not done
it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has
intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed.
It was related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
On the authority of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari
(may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (PBUH) is that among the
sayings he relates from his Lord (may He be glorified) is that He said: O My
servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden
amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray
except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you, O
My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of
Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except for those I
have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you
sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I
shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm
Me, and will not attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, were
the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be
as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase
My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of
you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked
heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything. O
My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the
jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give
everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more that a
needle decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds
that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him finds good
praise Allah and let him who finds other that blame no one but himself.
It was related by Muslim (also by at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) will say on the Day of Resurrection: O son of
Adam, I fell ill and you visited Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I
visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know
that My servant So-and-so had fallen ill and you visited him not? Did you not
know that had you visited him you would have found Me with him? O son of Adam, I
asked you for food and you fed Me not. He will say: O Lord, and how should I
feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds? He will say: Did you not know that
My servant So-and-so asked you for food and you fed him not? Did you not know
that had you fed him you would surely have found that (the reward for doing so)
with Me? O son of Adam, I asked you to give Me to drink and you gave Me not to
drink. He will say: O Lord, how should I give You to drink when You are the Lord
of the worlds? He will say: My servant So-and-so asked you to give him to drink
and you gave him not to drink. Had you given him to drink you would have surely
found that with Me.

Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:

Hell-fire.

for the man who has a grudge against his brother. [About them] it will be said:
Delay these two until they are reconciled; delay these two until they are
reconciled.
It was related by Muslim (also by Malik and Abu Dawud).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said that Allah the Almighty
said: There are three (1) whose adversary I shall be on the Day of Resurrection:
a man who has given his word by Me and has broken it; a man who has sold a free
man (2) and has consumed the price; and a man who has hired a workman, has
exacted his due in full from him and has not given him his wage.

him.

On the authority of Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Let not any one of you
belittle himself. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how can any one of us
belittle himself? He said: He finds a matter concerning Allah about which he
should say something, and he does not say [it], so Allah (mighty and sublime be
He) says to him on the Day of Resurrection: What prevented you from saying
something about such-and-such and such-and-such? He say: [It was] out of fear of
people. Then He says: Rather it is I whom you should more properly fear.

him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: If Allah has loved a
servant [of His] He calls Gabriel (on whom be peace) and says: I love So-and-so,
therefore love him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: So Gabriel loves him. Then he
(Gabriel) calls out in heaven, saying: Allah loves So-and-so, therefore love
him. And the inhabitants of heaven love him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: Then
acceptance is established for him on earth. And if Allah has abhorred a servant
[of His], He calls Gabriel and says: I abhor So-and-so, therefore abhor him. So
Gabriel abhors him. Then Gabriel calls out to the inhabitants of heaven: Allah
abhors So-and-so, therefore abhor him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: So they abhor
him, and abhorrence is established for him on earth.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, Malik, and at-Tirmidhi).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (mighty and
sublime be He) said: Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be
at war with him. My servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me
than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to
draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love
him I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his
hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask
[something] of Me, I would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for
refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as
I hesitate about [seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I
hate hurting him.
It was related by al-Bukhari.
On the authority of Abu Umamah (may Allah
be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah
(mighty and sublime be He) said: Truly of those devoted to Me the one I most
favor is a believer who is of meager means and much given to prayer, who has
been particular in the worship of his Lord and has obeyed Him inwardly (1), who
was obscure among people and not pointed out, and whose sustenance was just
sufficient to provide for him yet he bore this patiently. Then the Prophet (PBUH)
rapped his hand and said: Death will have come early to him, his mourners will
have been few, his estate scant.
(1) i.e. he has not been ostentatious in his obedience.
It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ibn Majah). Its
chain of authorities is sound.
On the authority of Masruq, who said: We
asked Abdullah (i.e. Ibn Masud) about this verse: And do not regard those who
have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead, rather are they alive with their
Lord, being provided for (Quran Chapter 3 Verse 169). He said: We asked about
that and the Prophet (pbuh) said: Their souls are in the insides of green birds
having lanterns suspended from the Throne, roaming freely in Paradise where they
please, then taking shelter in those lanterns. So their Lord cast a glance at
them (1) and said: Do you wish for anything? They said: What shall we wish for
when we roam freely in Paradise where we please? And thus did He do to them
three times. When they say that they would not be spared from being asked
[again], they said: O Lord, we would like for You to put back our souls into our
bodies so that we might fight for Your sake once again. And when He saw that
they were not in need of anything they were let be.
(1) i.e. at those who had been killed in the cause of Allah.
It was related by Muslim (also by at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).
On the authority of Jundub ibn Abdullah
(may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
said: There was amongst those before you a man who had a wound. He was in [such]
anguish that he took a knife and made with it a cut in his hand, and the blood
did not cease to flow till he died. Allah the Almighty said: My servant has
himself forestalled Me; I have forbidden him Paradise.
It was related by al-Bukhari.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says: My faithful servant's reward from Me, if
I have taken to Me his best friend from amongst the inhabitants of the world and
he has then borne it patiently for My sake, shall be nothing less than Paradise.
It was related by al-Bukhari.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said: If My servant likes to meet Me, I like to
meet him; and if he dislikes to meet Me, I dislike to meet him. Prophetic
explanation of this Sacred Hadith: He who likes to meet Allah, Allah likes to
meet him; and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah dislikes to meet him. Aishah
(may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Prophet of Allah, is it because of the
dislike of death, for all of us dislike death? The Prophet (pbuh) said: It is
not so, but rather it is that when the believer is given news of Allah's mercy,
His approval and His Paradise, he likes to meet Allah and Allah likes to meet
him; but when the unbeliever is given news of Allah's punishment and His
displeasure, he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah dislikes to meet him.
It was related by al-Bukhari and Malik. The Prophetic version is related by
Muslim.
On the authority of Jundub (may Allah be
pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) related: A man
said: By Allah, Allah will not forgive So-and-so. At this Allah the Almighty
said: Who is he who swears by Me that I will not forgive So-and-so? Verily I
have forgiven So-and-so and have nullified your [own good] deeds (1) (or as he
said [it]).
(1) A similar Hadith, which is given by Abu Dawud, indicates that the person
referred to was a godly man whose previous good deeds were brought to naught
through presuming to declare that Allah would not forgive someone's bad deeds.
It was related by Muslim.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may
Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: A
man sinned greatly against himself, and when death came to him he charged his
sons, saying: When I have died, burn me, then crush me and scatter [my ashes]
into the sea, for, by Allah, if my Lord takes possession of me, He will punish
me in a manner in which He has punished no one [else]. So they did that to him.
Then He said to the earth: Produce what you have taken - and there he was! And
He said to him: What induced you to do what you did? He said: Being afraid of
You, O my Lord (or he said: Being frightened of You) and because of that He
forgave him.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him) that the Prophet (PBUH), from among the things he reports from his Lord
(mighty and sublime be He), is that he said: A servant [of Allah's] committed a
sin and said: O Allah, forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He)
said: My servant has committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who
forgives sins and punishes for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord,
forgive me my sin. And He (glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has
committed a sin and has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes
for them. Then he sinned again and said: O Lord, forgive me my sin. And He
(glorified and exalted be He) said: My servant has committed a sin and has known
that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for sins. Do what you wish,
for I have forgiven you.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari).
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who
said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: Allah the Almighty said: O son
of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what
you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the
clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive
you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the
earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring
you forgiveness nearly as great at it.
It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its chain of
authorities is sound.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Our Lord (glorified and
exalted be He) descends each night to the earth's sky when there remains the
final third of the night, and He says: Who is saying a prayer to Me that I may
answer it? Who is asking something of Me that I may give it him? Who is asking
forgiveness of Me that I may forgive him?
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim, Malik, at-Tirmidhi and Abu
Dawud). In a version by Muslim the Hadith ends with the words: And thus He
continues till [the light of] dawn shines.
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) from
the Prophet (PBUH), who said: The believers will gather together on the Day of
Resurrection and will say: Should we not ask [someone] to intercede for us with
our Lord? So they will come to Adam and will say: You are the Father of mankind;
Allah created you with His hand He made His angels bow down to you and He taught
you the names of everything, so intercede for us with you Lord so that He may
give us relief form this place where we are. And he will say: I am not in a
position [to do that] - and he will mention his wrongdoing and will feel ashamed
and will say: Go to Noah, for he is the first messenger that Allah sent to the
inhabitants of the earth. So they will come to him and he will say: I am not in
a position [to do that] - and he will mention his having requested something of
his Lord about which he had no [proper] knowledge (Quran Chapter 11 Verses
45-46), and he will feel ashamed and will say: Go to the Friend of the Merciful
(Abraham). So they will come to him and he will say: I am not in a position [to
do that]. Go to Moses, a servant to whom Allah talked and to whom He gave the
Torah. So they will come to him and he will say: I am not in a position [to do
that] - and he will mention the talking of a life other that for a life (Quran
Chapter 28 Verses 15-16), and he will fell ashamed in the sight of his Lord and
will say: Go to Jesus, Allah's servant and messenger, Allah's word and spirit.
So they will come to him and he will say: I am not in a position [to do that].
Go to Muhammad (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), a servant to
whom Allah has forgiven all his wrongdoing, past and future. So they will come
to me and I shall set forth to ask permission to come to my Lord, and permission
will be given, and when I shall see my Lord I shall prostrate myself. He will
leave me thus for such time as it pleases Him, and then it will be said [to me]:
Raise your head. Ask and it will be granted. Speak and it will be heard.
Intercede and your intercession will be accepted. So I shall raise my head and
praise Him with a form of praise that He will teach me. Then I shall intercede
and HE will set me a limit [as to the number of people], so I shall admit them
into Paradise. Then I shall return to Him, and when I shall see my Lord [I shall
bow down] as before. Then I shall intercede and He will set me a limit [as to
the number of people]. So I shall admit them into Paradise. Then I shall return
for a third time, then a fourth, and I shall say: There remains in Hell-fire
only those whom the Qur'an has confined and who must be there for eternity.
There shall come out of Hell-fire he who has said: There is no god but Allah and
who has in his heart goodness weighing a barley-corn; then there shall come out
of Hell-fire he who has said: There is no god but Allah and who has in his heart
goodness weighing a grain of wheat; then there shall come out of Hell-fire he
who has said: There is no god but Allah and who has in his heart goodness
weighing an atom.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah).
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah said: I have
prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has seen and no ear has heard,
not has it occurred to human heart. Thus recite if you wish (1): And no soul
knows what joy for them (the inhabitants of Paradise) has been kept hidden
(Quran Chapter 32 Verse 17).
(1) The words "Thus recite if you wish" are those of Abu Harayrah.
It was related by al-Bukhari, Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with
him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: When Allah created
Paradise and Hell-fire, He sent Gabriel to Paradise, saying: Look at it and at
what I have prepared therein for its inhabitants. The Prophet (pbuh) said: So he
came to it and looked at it and at what Allah had prepared therein for its
inhabitants. The Prophet (pbuh) said: So he returned to Him and said: By your
glory, no one hears of it without entering it. So He ordered that it be
encompassed by forms of hardship, and He said: Return to it and look at what I
have prepared therein for its inhabitants. The Prophet (pbuh) said: So he
returned to it and found that it was encompassed by forms of hardship (1). Then
he returned to Him and said: By Your glory, I fear that no one will enter it. He
said: Go to Hell-fire and look at it and what I have prepared therein for its
inhabitants, and he fount that it was in layers, one above the other. Then he
returned to Him and said: By Your glory, no one who hears of it will enter it.
So He ordered that it be encompassed by lusts. Then He said: Return to it. And
he returned to it and said: By Your glory, I am frightened that no one will
escape from entering it.
(1) The Arabic word used here is "makarih", the literal meaning of which is
"things that are disliked". In this context it refers to forms of religious
discipline that man usually finds onerous.
It was related by Tirmidhi, who said that it was a good and sound Hadith
(also by Abu Dawud and an-Nasa'i).
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased
with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Paradise and
Hell-fire disputed together, and Hell-fire said: In me are the mighty and the
haughty. Paradise said: In me are the weak and the poor. So Allah judged between
them, [saying]: You are Paradise, My mercy; through you I show mercy to those I
wish. And you are Hell-fire, My punishment; through you I punish those I wish,
and it is incumbent upon Me that each of you shall have its fill.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari and at-Tirmidhi).
On the authority of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased
with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah will say to
the inhabitant of Paradise: O inhabitants of Paradise! They will say: O our
Lord, we present ourselves and are at Your pleasure, and goodness rests in Your
hands. Then He will say: Are you contented? And they will say: And how should we
not be contented, O Lord, when You have given to us that which You have given to
no one else of Your creation? Then He will say: Would not like Me to give you
something better than that? And they will say: O Lord and what thing is better
than that? And He will say: I shall cause My favor to descend upon you and
thereafter shall never be displeased with you.
It was related by al-Bukhari (also by Muslim and at-Tirmidhi).
