Beginning
of Creation
Volume
4, Book 54, Number 413:
Narrated 'Imran bin
Husain:
Some people of Bani
Tamim came to the Prophet and he said (to them),
"O Bani Tamim! rejoice with glad
tidings." They said, "You have given us
glad tidings, now give us something." On
hearing that the color of his face changed then
the people of Yemen came to him and he said,
"O people of Yemen ! Accept the good tidings,
as Bani Tamim has refused them." The
Yemenites said, "We accept them. Then the
Prophet started taking about the beginning of
creation and about Allah's Throne. In the mean
time a man came saying, "O 'Imran! Your
she-camel has run away!'' (I got up and went
away), but l wish I had not left that place (for I
missed what Allah's Apostle had said).
Volume
4, Book 54, Number 414:
Narrated Imran bin
Husain:
I went to the
Prophet and tied my she-camel at the gate. The
people of Bani Tamim came to the Prophet who said
"O Bani Tamim! Accept the good tidings."
They said twice, 'You have given us the good
tidings, now give us something" Then some
Yemenites came to him and he said, "Accept
the good tidings, O people of Yemem, for Bani
Tamim refused them." They said, "We
accept it, O Allah's Apostle! We have come to ask
you about this matter (i.e. the start of
creations)." He said, "First of all,
there was nothing but Allah, and (then He created
His Throne). His throne was over the water, and He
wrote everything in the Book (in the Heaven) and
created the Heavens and the Earth." Then a
man shouted, "O Ibn Husain! Your she-camel
has gone away!" So, I went away and could not
see the she-camel because of the mirage. By Allah,
I wished I had left that she-camel (but not that
gathering).
Narrated 'Umar: One
day the Prophet stood up amongst us for a long
period and informed us about the beginning of
creation (and talked about everything in detail)
till he mentioned how the people of Paradise will
enter their places and the people of Hell will
enter their places. Some remembered what he had
said, and some forgot it.

Narrated Abu Dhar:
The Prophet asked
me at sunset, "Do you know where the sun goes
(at the time of sunset)?" I replied,
"Allah and His Apostle know better." He
said, "It goes (i.e. travels) till it
prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes
the permission to rise again, and it is permitted
and then (a time will come when) it will be about
to prostrate itself but its prostration will not
be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on
its course but it will not be permitted, but it
will be ordered to return whence it has come and
so it will rise in the west. And that is the
interpretation of the Statement of Allah:
"And the sun Runs its fixed course For a term
(decreed). that is The Decree of (Allah) The
Exalted in Might, The All-Knowing." (36.38)

Him." Then he stayed standing, recited a long
recitation again, but shorter than the former,
bowed a long bowing, but shorter than the first,
performed a long prostration and then performed
the second Rak'a in the same way as he had done
the first. By the time he had finished his prayer
with Taslim, the solar eclipse had been over. Then

color of his face would change, and if it rained,
he would feel relaxed." So 'Aisha knew that
state of his. So the Prophet said, I don't know
(am afraid), it may be similar to what happened to
some people referred to in the Holy Quran in the
following Verse: -- "Then when they saw it as
a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they
said, 'This is a cloud bringing us rain!' Nay,
but, it is that (torment) which you were asking to
be hastened a wind wherein is severe
torment." (46.24)
Volume
4, Book 54, Number 429:
Narrated Malik bin
Sasaa:
The Prophet said,
"While I was at the House in a state midway
between sleep and wakefulness, (an angel
recognized me) as the man lying between two men. A
golden tray full of wisdom and belief was brought
to me and my body was cut open from the throat to
the lower part of the abdomen and then my abdomen
was washed with Zam-zam water and (my heart was)
filled with wisdom and belief. Al-Buraq, a white
animal, smaller than a mule and bigger than a
donkey was brought to me and I set out with
Gabriel. When I reached the nearest heaven.
Gabriel said to the heaven gate-keeper, 'Open the
gate.' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' He said,
'Gabriel.' The gate-keeper,' Who is accompanying
you?' Gabriel said, 'Muhammad.' The gate-keeper
said, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel said, 'Yes.'
Then it was said, 'He is welcomed. What a
wonderful visit his is!' Then I met Adam and
greeted him and he said, 'You are welcomed O son
and a Prophet.' Then we ascended to the second
heaven. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel said,
'Gabriel.' It was said, 'Who is with you?' He
said, 'Muhammad' It was asked, 'Has he been sent
for?' He said, 'Yes.' It was said, 'He is
welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!"
Then I met Jesus and Yahya (John) who said, 'You
are welcomed, O brother and a Prophet.' Then we
ascended to the third heaven. It was asked, 'Who
is it?' Gabriel said, 'Gabriel.' It was asked,
'Who is with you? Gabriel said, 'Muhammad.' It was
asked, 'Has he been sent for?' 'Yes,' said
Gabriel. 'He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit
his is!' (The Prophet added:). There I met Joseph
and greeted him, and he replied, 'You are
welcomed, O brother and a Prophet!' Then we
ascended to the 4th heaven and again the same
questions and answers were exchanged as in the
previous heavens. There I met Idris and greeted
him. He said, 'You are welcomed O brother and
Prophet.' Then we ascended to the 5th heaven and
again the same questions and answers were
exchanged as in previous heavens. there I met and
greeted Aaron who said, 'You are welcomed O
brother and a Prophet". Then we ascended to
the 6th heaven and again the same questions and
answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens.
There I met and greeted Moses who said, 'You are
welcomed O brother and. a Prophet.' When I
proceeded on, he started weeping and on being
asked why he was weeping, he said, 'O Lord!
Followers of this youth who was sent after me will
enter Paradise in greater number than my
followers.' Then we ascended to the seventh heaven
and again the same questions and answers were
exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met
and greeted Abraham who said, 'You are welcomed o
son and a Prophet.' Then I was shown Al-Bait-al-Ma'mur
(i.e. Allah's House). I asked Gabriel about it and
he said, This is Al Bait-ul-Ma'mur where 70,000
angels perform prayers daily and when they leave
they never return to it (but always a fresh batch
comes into it daily).' Then I was shown
Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. a tree in the seventh
heaven) and I saw its Nabk fruits which resembled
the clay jugs of Hajr (i.e. a town in Arabia), and
its leaves were like the ears of elephants, and
four rivers originated at its root, two of them
were apparent and two were hidden. I asked Gabriel
about those rivers and he said, 'The two hidden
rivers are in Paradise, and the apparent ones are
the Nile and the Euphrates.' Then fifty prayers
were enjoined on me. I descended till I met Moses
who asked me, 'What have you done?' I said, 'Fifty
prayers have been enjoined on me.' He said, 'I
know the people better than you, because I had the
hardest experience to bring Bani Israel to
obedience. Your followers cannot put up with such
obligation. So, return to your Lord and request
Him (to reduce the number of prayers.' I returned
and requested Allah (for reduction) and He made it
forty. I returned and (met Moses) and had a
similar discussion, and then returned again to
Allah for reduction and He made it thirty, then
twenty, then ten, and then I came to Moses who
repeated the same advice. Ultimately Allah reduced
it to five. When I came to Moses again, he said,
'What have you done?' I said, 'Allah has made it
five only.' He repeated the same advice but I said
that I surrendered (to Allah's Final Order)'"
Allah's Apostle was addressed by Allah, "I
have decreed My Obligation and have reduced the
burden on My slaves, and I shall reward a single
good deed as if it were ten good deeds."

Narrated 'Abdullah
bin Mus'ud:
Allah's Apostle,
the true and truly inspired said, "(The
matter of the Creation of) a human being is put
together in the womb of the mother in forty days,
and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a
similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a
similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is
ordered to 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 man amongst you
may do (evil) deeds till there is only a cubit
between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has
been written for him decides his behavior, and he
starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of
Paradise."

if you put the milk of a she-camel in front of a
rat, it will not drink it, but if the milk of a
sheep is put in front of it, it will drink
it." I told this to Ka'b who asked me,
"Did you hear it from the Prophet ?" I
said, "Yes." Ka'b asked me the same
question several times.; I said to Ka'b. "Do
I read the Torah? (i.e. I tell you this from the
Prophet.)"
