(the square) in his lease of life, encircles him
from all sides (or has encircled him), and this
(line), which is outside (the square), is his
hope, and these small lines are the calamities and
troubles (which may befall him), and if one misses

(an ally of the
tribe of Bani 'Amir bin Lu'ai and one of those who
had witnessed the battle of Badr with Allah's
Apostle) Allah's Apostle sent Abu 'Ubaida bin
AlJarrah to Bahrain to collect the Jizya tax.
Allah's Apostle had concluded a peace treaty with
the people of Bahrain and appointed Al 'Ala bin
Al-Hadrami as their chief; Abu Ubaida arrived from
Bahrain with the money. The Ansar heard of Abu 'Ubaida's
arrival which coincided with the Fajr (morning)
prayer led by Allah's Apostle. When the Prophet
finished the prayer, they came to him. Allah's
Apostle smiled when he saw them and said, "I
think you have heard of the arrival of Abu 'Ubaida
and that he has brought something." They
replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! " He
said, "Have the good news, and hope for what
will please you. By Allah, I am not afraid that
you will become poor, but I am afraid that worldly
wealth will be given to you in abundance as it was
given to those (nations) before you, and you will
start competing each other for it as the previous
nations competed for it, and then it will divert
you (from good) as it diverted them." '

Narrated 'Uqba bin
'Amir:
The Prophet went
out and offered the funeral prayer for the martyrs
of the (battle of) Uhud and then ascended the
pulpit and said, "I am your predecessor and I
am a witness against you. By Allah, I am now
looking at my Tank-lake (Al-Kauthar) and I have
been given the keys of the treasures of the earth
(or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not
afraid that after me you will worship others
besides Allah, but I am afraid that you will start
competing for (the pleasures of) this world."
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 435:
Narrated Abu Sa'id
Al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle
said, "The thing I am afraid of most for your
sake, is the worldly blessings which Allah will
bring forth to you." It was said, "What
are the blessings of this world?" The Prophet
said, "The pleasures of the world." A
man said, "Can the good bring forth
evil?" The Prophet kept quiet for a while
till we thought that he was being inspired
divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from
his forehead and said," Where is the
questioner?" That man said, "I (am
present)." Abu Sa'id added: We thanked the
man when the result (of his question) was such.
The Prophet said, "Good never brings forth
but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like)
green and sweet (fruit), and all the vegetation
which grows on the bank of a stream either kills
or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of
it, except the animal that eats the Khadira (a
kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its
stomach is full and then it faces the sun and
starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and
urine and goes to eat again. This worldly wealth
is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a person earns it
(the wealth) in a legal way and spends it
properly, then it is an excellent helper, and
whoever earns it in an illegal way, he will be
like the one who eats but is never
satisfied."

Mudarrib:
'Imran bin Husain
said: The Prophet said, "The best people are
my contemporaries (i.e., the present (my)
generation) and then those who come after them
(i.e., the next generation)." Imran added: I
am not sure whether the Prophet repeated the
statement twice after his first saying. The
Prophet added, "And after them there will
come people who will bear witness, though they
will not be asked to give their witness; and they
will be treacherous and nobody will trust them,
and they will make vows, but will not fulfill
them, and fatness will appear among them."

Number 437:
Narrated 'Abdullah
:
The Prophet said,
"The best people are those of my generation,
and then those who will come after them (the next
generation), and then those who will come after
them (i.e. the next generation), and then after
them, there will come people whose witness will
precede their oaths, and whose oaths will precede
their witness."

Number 438:
Narrated Qais:
I heard Khabbab,
who had branded his abdomen with seven brands,
saying, "Had Allah's Apostle not forbidden us
to invoke Allah for death, I would have invoked
Allah for death. The companions of Muhammad have
left this world without taking anything of their
reward in it (i.e., they will have perfect reward
in the Hereafter), but we have collected of the
worldly wealth what we cannot spend but on earth
(i.e. on building houses)."

Narrated Qais:
I came to Khabbab
while he was building a wall, and he (Khabbab)

wealth that we cannot spend but on earth (i.e., on
building)."

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

Number 444:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I heard the Prophet
saying, "If the son of Adam (the human being)

third, for nothing can fill the belly of Adam's
son except dust, and Allah forgives him who
repents to Him."
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 445:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "If the son of Adam had money
equal to a valley, then he will wish for another
similar to it, for nothing can satisfy the eye of
Adam's son except dust. And Allah forgives him who
repents to Him." Ibn 'Abbas said: I do not
know whether this saying was quoted from the
Qur'an or not. 'Ata' said, "I heard Ibn
AzZubair saying this narration while he was on the
pulpit."
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 446:
Narrated Sahl bin
Sa'd:
I heard Ibn
Az-Zubair who was on the pulpit at Mecca,
delivering a sermon, saying, "O men! The
Prophet used to say, "If the son of Adam were
given a valley full of gold, he would love to have
a second one; and if he were given the second one,
he would love to have a third, for nothing fills
the belly of Adam's son except dust. And Allah
forgives he who repents to Him." Ubai said,
"We considered this as a saying from the
Qur'an till the Sura (beginning with) 'The mutual
rivalry for piling up of worldly things diverts
you..' (102.1) was revealed."
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 447:
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:

Narrated Hakim bin
Hizam:
I asked the Prophet
(for some money) and he gave me, and then again I
asked him and he gave me, and then again I asked
him and he gave me and he then said, "This
wealth is (like) green and sweet (fruit), and
whoever takes it without greed, Allah will bless
it for him, but whoever takes it with greed, Allah
will not bless it for him, and he will be like the
one who eats but is never satisfied. And the upper
(giving) hand is better than the lower (taking)
hand."
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 449:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said,
"Who among you considers the wealth of his
heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?"
They replied, "O Allah's Apostle! There is
none among us but loves his own wealth more."
The Prophet said, "So his wealth is whatever
he spends (in Allah's Cause) during his life (on
good deeds) while the wealth of his heirs is
whatever he leaves after his death."
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 450:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
Once I went out at
night and found Allah's Apostle walking all alone
accompanied by nobody, and I thought that perhaps
he disliked that someone should accompany him. So
I walked in the shade, away from the moonlight,
but the Prophet looked behind and saw me and said,
"Who is that?" I replied, "Abu Dhar,
let Allah get me sacrificed for you!" He
said, "O Abu Dhar, come here!" So I
accompanied him for a while and then he said,
"The rich are in fact the poor (little
rewarded) on the Day of Resurrection except him
whom Allah gives wealth which he gives (in
charity) to his right, left, front and back, and
does good deeds with it. I walked with him a
little longer. Then he said to me, "Sit down
here." So he made me sit in an open space
surrounded by rocks, and said to me, "Sit
here till I come back to you." He went
towards Al-Harra till I could not see him, and he
stayed away for a long period, and then I heard
him saying, while he was coming, "Even if he
had committed theft, and even if he had committed
illegal sexual intercourse?" When he came, I
could not remain patient and asked him, "O
Allah's Prophet! Let Allah get me sacrificed for
you! Whom were you speaking to by the side of Al-Harra?
I did not hear anybody responding to your
talk." He said, "It was Gabriel who
appeared to me beside Al-Harra and said, 'Give the
good news to your followers that whoever dies
without having worshipped anything besides Allah,
will enter Paradise.' I said, 'O Gabriel! Even if
he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual
intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Even if he
has committed theft or committed illegal sexual
intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Even if he
has committed theft or committed illegal sexual
intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' "
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 451:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
While I was walking
with the Prophet in the Harra of Medina, Uhud came
in sight. The Prophet said, "O Abu Dhar!"
I said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle!" He
said, "I would not like to have gold equal to
this mountain of Uhud, unless nothing of it, not
even a single Dinar of it remains with me for more
than three days, except something which I will
keep for repaying debts. I would have spent all of
it (distributed it) amongst Allah's Slaves like
this, and like this, and like this." The
Prophet pointed out with his hand towards his
right, his left and his back (while illustrating
it). He proceeded with his walk and said,
"The rich are in fact the poor (little
rewarded) on the Day of Resurrection except those
who spend their wealth like this, and like this,
and like this, to their right, left and back, but
such people are few in number." Then he said
to me, "Stay at your place and do not leave
it till I come back." Then he proceeded in
the darkness of the night till he went out of
sight, and then I heard a loud voice, and was
afraid that something might have happened to the
Prophet .1 intended to go to him, but I remembered
what he had said to me, i.e. 'Don't leave your
place till I come back to you,' so I remained at
my place till he came back to me. I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I heard a voice and I was
afraid." So I mentioned the whole story to
him. He said, "Did you hear it?" I
replied, "Yes." He said, "It was
Gabriel who came to me and said, 'Whoever died
without joining others in worship with Allah, will
enter Paradise.' I asked (Gabriel), 'Even if he
had committed theft or committed illegal sexual
intercourse? Gabriel said, 'Yes, even if he had
committed theft or committed illegal sexual
intercourse."

Narrated Sahl bin
Sa'd As-Sa'id:
A man passed by
Allah's Apostle and the Prophet asked a man
sitting beside him, "What is your opinion
about this (passer-by)?" He replied,
"This (passer-by) is from the noble class of
people. By Allah, if he should ask for a lady's
hand in marriage, he ought to be given her in
marriage, and if he intercedes for somebody, his
intercession will be accepted. Allah's Apostle
kept quiet, and then another man passed by and
Allah's Apostle asked the same man (his companion)
again, "What is your opinion about this
(second) one?" He said, "O Allah's
Apostle! This person is one of the poor Muslims.
If he should ask a lady's hand in marriage, no-one
will accept him, and if he intercedes for
somebody, no one will accept his intercession, and
if he talks, no-one will listen to his talk."
Then Allah's Apostle said, "This (poor man)
is better than such a large number of the first
type (i.e. rich men) as to fill the earth."
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 455:
Narrated Abu Wail:
We paid a visit to
Khabbab who was sick, and he said, "We
migrated with the Prophet for Allah's Sake and our
wages became due on Allah. Some of us died without
having received anything of the wages, and one of
them was Mus'ab bin 'Umar, who was martyred on the
day of the battle of Uhud, leaving only one sheet
(to shroud him in). If we covered his head with
it, his feet became uncovered, and if we covered
his feet with it, his head became uncovered. So
the Prophet ordered us to cover his head with it
and put some Idhkhir (a kind of grass) over his
feet. On the other hand, some of us have had the
fruits (of our good deed) and are plucking them
(in this world)."

Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 458:

When the Prophet
died, nothing which can be eaten by a living
creature was left on my shelf except some barley
grain. I ate of it for a period and when I
measured it, it finished.
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 459:
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
By Allah except
Whom none has the right to- be worshipped,
(sometimes) I used to lay (sleep) on the ground on
my liver (abdomen) because of hunger, and
(sometimes) I used to bind a stone over my belly
because of hunger. One day I sat by the way from
where they (the Prophet and h is companions) used
to come out. When Abu Bakr passed by, I asked him
about a Verse from Allah's Book and I asked him
only that he might satisfy my hunger, but he
passed by and did not do so. Then Umar passed by
me and I asked him about a Verse from Allah's
Book, and I asked him only that he might satisfy
my hunger, but he passed by without doing so.
Finally Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet ) passed by me
and he smiled when he saw me, for he knew what was
in my heart and on my face. He said, "O Aba
Hirr (Abu Huraira)!" I replied, "Labbaik,
O Allah's Apostle!" He said to me,
"Follow me." He left and I followed him.
Then he entered the
house and I asked permission to enter and was
admitted. He found milk in a bowl and said,
"From where is this milk?" They said,
"It has been presented to you by
such-and-such man (or by such and such
woman)." He said, "O Aba Hirr!" I
said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle!" He
said, "Go and call the people of Suffa to
me." These people of Suffa were the guests of
Islam who had no families, nor money, nor anybody
to depend upon, and whenever an object of charity
was brought to the Prophet , he would send it to
them and would not take anything from it, and
whenever any present was given to him, he used to
send some for them and take some of it for
himself. The order off the Prophet upset me, and I
said to myself, "How will this little milk be
enough for the people of As-Suffa?" thought I
was more entitled to drink from that milk in order
to strengthen myself, but behold! The Prophet came
to order me to give that milk to them. I wondered
what will remain of that milk for me, but anyway,
I could not but obey Allah and His Apostle so I
went to the people of As-Suffa and called them,
and they came and asked the Prophet's permission
to enter. They were admitted and took their seats
in the house.
The Prophet said,
"O Aba-Hirr!" I said, "Labbaik, O
Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Take it and
give it to them." So I took the bowl (of
Milk) and started giving it to one man who would
drink his fill and return it to me, whereupon I
would give it to another man who, in his turn,
would drink his fill and return it to me, and I
would then offer it to another man who would drink
his fill and return it to me. Finally, after the
whole group had drunk their fill, I reached the
Prophet who took the bowl and put it on his hand,
looked at me and smiled and said. "O Aba Hirr!"
I replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle!"
He said, "There remain you and I." I
said, "You have said the truth, O Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "Sit down and
drink." I sat down and drank. He said,
"Drink," and I drank. He kept on telling
me repeatedly to drink, till I said, "No. by
Allah Who sent you with the Truth, I have no space
for it (in my stomach)." He said, "Hand
it over to me." When I gave him the bowl, he
praised Allah and pronounced Allah's Name on it
and drank the remaining milk.

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

he use to do extra deeds of worship on special
days?" She said, "No, but his deeds were

do what the Prophet was able to do (i.e. in
worshipping Allah)?"

Huraira:
I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, Verily Allah created Mercy. The
day He created it, He made it into one hundred
parts. He withheld with Him ninety-nine parts, and
sent its one part to all His creatures. Had the
non-believer known of all the Mercy which is in
the Hands of Allah, he would not lose hope of
entering Paradise, and had the believer known of
all the punishment which is present with Allah, he
would not consider himself safe from the
Hell-Fire."

Some people from

When everything was finished and he had spent all
that was in his hand, he said to them,
'"(Know) that if I have any wealth, I will
not withhold it from you (to keep for somebody
else); And (know) that he who refrains from
begging others (or doing prohibited deeds), Allah
will make him contented and not in need of others;

patience upon him, and he who is satisfied with
what he has, Allah will make him self-sufficient.

been to you?' They replied: You have been a good
father. He said, 'But he (i.e. your father) has
not stored any good deeds with Allah (for the
Hereafter): if he should face Allah, Allah will
punish him. So listen, (O my children), when I
die, burn my body till I become mere coal and then
grind it into powder, and when there is a stormy
wind, throw me (my ashes) in it.' So he took a
firm promise from his children (to follow his
instructions). And by Allah they (his sons) did
accordingly(fulfilled their promise.) Then Allah
said, "Be"' and behold! That man was

said, "Fear of You." So Allah forgave
him.

behalf of the Muslims. The Prophet said, "Let
him who wants to look at a man from the dwellers
of the (Hell) Fire, look at this (man)."
Another man followed him and kept on following him
till he (the fighter) was injured and, seeking to
die quickly, he placed the blade tip of his sword
between his breasts and leaned over it till it
passed through his shoulders (i.e., committed
suicide)." The Prophet added, "A person
may do deeds that seem to the people as the deeds
of the people of Paradise while in fact, he is
from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire: and
similarly a person may do deeds that seem to the
people as the deeds of the people of the (Hell)

honesty be lost, O Allah's Apostle?" He said,
"When authority is given to those who do not
deserve it, then wait for the Hour."
Volume 8, Book 76,
Number 504:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Allah's Apostle
narrated to us two narrations, one of which I have
seen (happening) and I am waiting for the other.
He narrated that honesty was preserved in the
roots of the hearts of men (in the beginning) and
then they learnt it (honesty) from the Qur'an, and
then they learnt it from the (Prophet's) Sunna
(tradition). He also told us about its
disappearance, saying, "A man will go to
sleep whereupon honesty will be taken away from
his heart, and only its trace will remain,
resembling the traces of fire. He then will sleep
whereupon the remainder of the honesty will also
be taken away (from his heart) and its trace will
resemble a blister which is raised over the
surface of skin, when an ember touches one's foot;
and in fact, this blister does not contain
anything. So there will come a day when people
will deal in business with each other but there
will hardly be any trustworthy persons among them.
Then it will be said that in such-and-such a tribe
there is such-and-such person who is honest, and a
man will be admired for his intelligence, good
manners and strength, though indeed he will not
have belief equal to a mustard seed in his
heart." The narrator added: There came upon
me a time when I did not mind dealing with anyone
of you, for if he was a Muslim, his religion would
prevent him from cheating; and if he was a
Christian, his Muslim ruler would prevent him from
cheating; but today I cannot deal except with
so-and-so and so-and-so. (See Hadith No. 208, Vol.
9)

the people, Allah will disclose his real intention

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

(Allah's) slaves on Allah is that He should not
punish them (if they did that)."

The Prophet had a
she-camel called Al'Adba' and it was too fast to
surpass in speed. There came a bedouin riding a
camel of his, and that camel outstripped it (i.e.
Al-Aqba'). That result was hard on the Muslims who
said sorrowfully, "Al- Adba has been

high in this world except that He lowers or puts
it down."

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

them will believe (in Allah). But that will be the
time when 'No good it will do to a soul to believe
then. If it believed not before.."' (6.158)
The Hour will be
established (so suddenly) that two persons
spreading a garment between them will not be able
to finish their bargain, nor will they be able to
fold it up. The Hour will be established while a
man is carrying the milk of his she-camel, but

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

(the wife of the

captured unless he is shown his place in Paradise
and given the option (to die or survive)." So
when the death of the Prophet approached and his
head was on my thigh, he became unconscious for a
while and then he came to his senses and fixed his
eyes on the ceiling and said, "O Allah (with)
the highest companions." (See Qur'an 4:69). I
said' "Hence he is not going to choose
us." And I came to know that it was the
application of the narration which he (the
Prophet) used to narrate to us. And that was the

i.e., "O Allah! With the highest
companions." (See Qur'an 4:69)

Apostle said, "Don't give me superiority over
Moses, for the people will fall unconscious on the
Day of Resurrection and I will be the first to
gain consciousness, and behold ! Moses will be

Prophet) and said, "May The Beneficent
(Allah) bless you, O Abul Qasim! Shall I tell you
of the entertainment of the people of Paradise on
the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet said,
"Yes." The Jew said, "The earth
will be a bread," as the Prophet had said.
Thereupon the Prophet looked at us and smiled till
his premolar tooth became visible. Then the Jew
further said, "Shall I tell you of the udm
(additional food taken with bread) they will have
with the bread?" He added, "That will be

you to be one-third of the people of
Paradise?" We said, "Yes." He said,

one half of the people of Paradise, for none will
enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and you people,
in comparison to the people who associate others
in worship with Allah, are like a white hair on
the skin of a black ox, or a black hair on the
skin of a red ox."

Huraira:

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

all the good is in Your Hands)!' Then Allah will
say (to Adam), Bring out the people of the Fire.'
Adam will say, 'What (how many) are the people of
the Fire?' Allah will say, 'Out of every thousand
(take out) nine-hundred and ninety-nine
(persons).' At that time children will become
hoary-headed and every pregnant female will drop
her load (have an abortion) and you will see the
people as if they were drunk, yet not drunk; But
Allah's punishment will be very severe."
That news
distressed the companions of the Prophet too much,
and they said, "O Allah's Apostle! Who
amongst us will be that man (the lucky one out of
one-thousand who will be saved from the
Fire)?" He said, "Have the good news
that one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog, and
the one (to be saved will be) from you." The
Prophet added, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul
is, I Hope that you (Muslims) will be one third of
the people of Paradise." On that, we
glorified and praised Allah and said, "Allahu
Akbar." The Prophet then said, "By Him
in Whose Hand my soul is, I hope that you will be
one half of the people of Paradise, as your
(Muslims) example in comparison to the other
people (non-Muslims), is like that of a white hair
on the skin of a black ox, or a round hairless

passing by with only ten (persons), and another
prophet passing by with only five (persons), and
another prophet passed by alone. And then I looked
and saw a large multitude of people, so I asked
Gabriel, "Are these people my followers?' He
said, 'No, but look towards the horizon.' I looked
and saw a very large multitude of people. Gabriel
said. 'Those are your followers, and those are
seventy thousand (persons) in front of them who
will neither have any reckoning of their accounts
nor will receive any punishment.' I asked, 'Why?'
He said, 'For they used not to treat themselves
with branding (cauterization) nor with Ruqya (get
oneself treated by the recitation of some Verses
of the Qur'an) and not to see evil omen in things,
and they used to put their trust (only) in their
Lord." On hearing that, 'Ukasha bin Mihsan

Allah to make me one of them." The Prophet

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

Allah will, and then I will be addressed. 'Raise
up your head (O Muhammad)! Ask, and your request
will be granted, and say, and your saying will be
listened to; intercede, and your intercession will
be accepted.' Then I will raise my head, and I
will glorify and praise my Lord with a saying(i.e.
invocation) He will teach me, and then I will
intercede, Allah will fix a limit for me (i.e.,
certain type of people for whom I may intercede),
and I will take them out of the (Hell) Fire and
let them enter Paradise. Then I will come back (to
Allah) and fall in prostration, and will do the
same for the third and fourth times till no-one
remains in the (Hell) Fire except those whom the
Qur'an has imprisoned therein." (The

Haritha in my heart (i.e. how dear to me he was),
so if he is in Paradise, I will not weep for him,
or otherwise, you will see what I will do."
The Prophet said, "Are you mad? Is there only
one Paradise? There are many Paradises, and he is
in the highest Paradise of Firdaus." The
Prophet added, "A forenoon journey or an
after noon journey in Allah's Cause is better than
the whole world and whatever is in it; and a place
equal to an arrow bow of anyone of you, or a place
equal to a foot in Paradise is better than the
whole world and whatever is in it; and if one of
the women of Paradise looked at the earth, she
would fill the whole space between them (the earth

whatever is in between them, with perfume, and the
veil of her face is better than the whole world

the (Hell) Fire crawling, and Allah will say to
him, 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will go to it,
but he will imagine that it had been filled, and
then he will return and say, 'O Lord, I have found
it full.' Allah will say, 'Go and enter Paradise,
and you will have what equals the world and ten
times as much (or, you will have as much as ten
times the like of the world).' On that, the man
will say, 'Do you mock at me (or laugh at me)
though You are the King?" I saw Allah's
Apostle (while saying that) smiling that his
premolar teeth became visible. It is said that
will be the lowest in degree amongst the people of

replied, "No, Allah's Apostle." He said,
"Do you crowd and squeeze each other on
looking at the moon when it is full and not hidden
by clouds?" They replied, No, O Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "So you will see Him
(your Lord) on the Day of Resurrection similarly
Allah will gather all the people and say, 'Whoever
used to worship anything should follow that thing.
'So, he who used to worship the sun, will follow
it, and he who used to worship the moon will
follow it, and he who used to worship false
deities will follow them; and then only this
nation (i.e., Muslims) will remain, including
their hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a
shape other than they know and will say, 'I am
your Lord.' They will say, 'We seek refuge with
Allah from you. This is our place; (we will not
follow you) till our Lord comes to us, and when
our Lord comes to us, we will recognize Him.
Then Allah will
come to then in a shape they know and will say,
"I am your Lord.' They will say, '(No doubt)
You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him. Then
a bridge will be laid over the (Hell) Fire."
Allah's Apostle added, "I will be the first
to cross it. And the invocation of the Apostles on
that Day, will be 'Allahukka Sallim, Sallim (O
Allah, save us, save us!),' and over that bridge
there will be hooks Similar to the thorns of As
Sa'dan (a thorny tree). Didn't you see the thorns
of As-Sa'dan?" The companions said,
"Yes, O Allah's Apostle." He added,
"So the hooks over that bridge will be like
the thorns of As-Sa-dan except that their
greatness in size is only known to Allah. These
hooks will snatch the people according to their
deeds. Some people will be ruined because of their
evil deeds, and some will be cut into pieces and
fall down in Hell, but will be saved afterwards,
when Allah has finished the judgments among His
slaves, and intends to take out of the Fire
whoever He wishes to take out from among those who
used to testify that none had the right to be
worshipped but Allah.
We will order the
angels to take them out and the angels will know
them by the mark of the traces of prostration (on
their foreheads) for Allah banned the f ire to
consume the traces of prostration on the body of
Adam's son. So they will take them out, and by
then they would have burnt (as coal), and then
water, called Maul Hayat (water of life) will be
poured on them, and they will spring out like a
seed springs out on the bank of a rainwater
stream, and there will remain one man who will be
facing the (Hell) Fire and will say, 'O Lord! It's
(Hell's) vapor has Poisoned and smoked me and its
flame has burnt me; please turn my face away from
the Fire.' He will keep on invoking Allah till
Allah says, 'Perhaps, if I give you what you
want), you will ask for another thing?' The man
will say, 'No, by Your Power, I will not ask You
for anything else.'
Then Allah will
turn his face away from the Fire. The man will say
after that, 'O Lord, bring me near the gate of
Paradise.' Allah will say (to him), 'Didn't you
promise not to ask for anything else? Woe to you,
O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' The man
will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will say,
'But if I give you that, you may ask me for
something else.' The man will say, 'No, by Your
Power. I will not ask for anything else.' He will
give Allah his covenant and promise not to ask for
anything else after that. So Allah will bring him
near to the gate of Paradise, and when he sees
what is in it, he will remain silent as long as
Allah will, and then he will say, 'O Lord! Let me
enter Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you
promise that you would not ask Me for anything
other than that? Woe to you, O son of Adam ! How
treacherous you are!' On that, the man will say,
'O Lord! Do not make me the most wretched of Your
creation,' and will keep on invoking Allah till
Allah will smile and when Allah will smile because
of him, then He will allow him to enter Paradise,
and when he will enter Paradise, he will be
addressed, 'Wish from so-and-so.' He will wish
till all his wishes will be fulfilled, then Allah
will say, All this (i.e. what you have wished for)
and as much again therewith are for you.' "
Abu Huraira added:
That man will be the last of the people of
Paradise to enter (Paradise).
Narrated 'Ata
(while Abu Huraira was narrating): Abu Said was
sitting in the company of Abu Huraira and he did
not deny anything of his narration till he reached
his saying: "All this and as much again
therewith are for you." Then Abu Sa'id said,
"I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'This is for
you and ten times as much.' " Abu Huraira
said, "In my memory it is 'as much again
therewith.' "

religion."
