Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When the Prophet
sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are
going to a nation from the people of the
Scripture, so let the first thing to which you
will invite them, be the Tauhid of Allah. If they
learn that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on
them, five prayers to be offered in one day and
one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah
has enjoined on them Zakat of their properties and
it is to be taken from the rich among them and
given to the poor. And if they agree to that, then
take from them Zakat but avoid the best property
of the people."

their right upon Him is?" I replied,

so)."

A man heard another
man reciting (in the prayers): 'Say (O Muhammad):
"He is Allah, the One." (112.1) And he
recited it repeatedly. When it was morning, he
went to the Prophet and informed him about that as
if he considered that the recitation of that Sura
by itself was not enough. Allah's Apostle said,
"By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is equal
to one-third of the Quran."

mentioned that to the Prophet. He said (to them),
"Ask him why he does so." They asked him
and he said, "I do so because it mentions the
qualities of the Beneficent and I love to recite
it (in my prayer)." The Prophet; said (to
them), "Tell him that Allah loves him"

We were with the
Prophet when suddenly there came to him a

Prophet said (to the messenger), "Go back and
tell her that whatever Allah takes is His, and
whatever He gives is His, and everything with Him
has a limited fixed term (in this world). So order
her to be patient and hope for Allah's
reward." But she sent the messenger to the
Prophet again, swearing that he should come to
her. So the Prophets got up, and so did Sa'd bin 'Ubada
and Mu'adh bin Jabal (and went to her). When the
child was brought to the Prophet his breath was
disturbed in his chest as if it were in a water
skin. On that the eyes of the Prophet . became
flooded with tears, whereupon Sa'd said to him,
"O Allah's Apostle! What is this?" The
Prophet said, "This is mercy which Allah has
put in the heart of His slaves, and Allah bestows
His mercy only on those of His slaves who are
merciful (to others)." (See Hadith No. 373,

He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Then
they will go to Adam and say, 'O Adam! Don't you
see the people (people's condition)? Allah created
you with His Own Hands and ordered His angels to
prostrate before you, and taught you the names of
all the things. Please intercede for us with our
Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of
ours.' Adam will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking' and mention to them the mistakes he
had committed, and add, "But you d better go
to Noah as he was the first Apostle sent by Allah
to the people of the Earth.' They will go to Noah
who will reply, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking,' and mention the mistake which he
made, and add, 'But you'd better go to Abraham,
Khalil Ar-Rahman.'
They will go to
Abraham who will reply, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking,' and mention to them the mistakes he
made, and add, 'But you'd better go to Moses, a
slave whom Allah gave the Torah and to whom He
spoke directly' They will go to Moses who will
reply, 'I am not fit for this undertaking,' and
mention to them the mistakes he made, and add,
'You'd better go to Jesus, Allah's slave and His
Apostle and His Word (Be: And it was) and a soul
created by Him.' They will go to Jesus who will
say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, but you'd
better go to Muhammad whose sins of the past and
the future had been forgiven (by Allah).' So they
will come to me and I will ask the permission of
my Lord, and I will be permitted (to present
myself) before Him. When I see my Lord, I will
fall down in (prostration) before Him and He will
leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes,
and then it will be said to me, 'O Muhammad! Raise
your head and speak, for you will be listened to;
and ask, for you will be granted (your request);
and intercede, for your intercession will be
accepted.' I will then raise my head and praise my
Lord with certain praises which He has taught me,
and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to
intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will
fix a limit whom I will admit into Paradise.
I will come back
again, and when I see my Lord (again), I will fall
down in prostration before Him, and He will leave
me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then
He will say, 'O Muhammad! Raise your head and
speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for
you will be granted (your request); and intercede,
for your intercession will be accepted.' I will
then praise my Lord with certain praises which He
has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah
will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of
people) and will fix a limit to whom I will admit
into Paradise, I will return again, and when I see
my Lord, I will fall down (in prostration) and He
will leave me (in prostration) as long as He
wishes, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad! Raise
your head and speak, for you will be listened to,
and ask, for you will be granted (your request);
and intercede, for your intercession will be
accepted.' I will then praise my Lord with certain
praises which He has taught me, and then I will
intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for a
certain kind of people) and will fix a limit to
whom I will admit into Paradise. I will come back
and say, 'O my Lord! None remains in Hell (Fire)
but those whom Qur'an has imprisoned therein and
for whom eternity in Hell (Fire) has become
inevitable.' "
The Prophet added,
"There will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone
who says: 'La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his
heart good equal to the weight of a barley grain.
Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone
who says: ' La ilaha illal-lah,' and has in his
heart good equal to the weight of a wheat grain.

inform the people of that?" He said,
"There are one-hundred degrees in Paradise
which Allah has prepared for those who carry on
Jihad in His Cause. The distance between every two
degrees is like the distance between the sky and
the Earth, so if you ask Allah for anything, ask
Him for the Firdaus, for it is the last part of
Paradise and the highest part of Paradise, and at
its top there is the Throne of Beneficent, and
from it gush forth the rivers of Paradise."

Al-Khudri:
When 'Ali was in
Yemen, he sent some gold in its ore to the
Prophet. The Prophet distributed it among Al-Aqra'
bin Habis Al-Hanzali who belonged to Bani Mujashi,
'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, 'Alqama bin 'Ulatha
Al-'Amiri, who belonged to the Bani Kilab tribe
and Zaid AI-Khail At-Ta'i who belonged to Bani
Nabhan. So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry
and said, "He gives to the chiefs of Najd and
leaves us!" The Prophet said, "I just
wanted to attract and unite their hearts (make
them firm in Islam)." Then there came a man
with sunken eyes, bulging forehead, thick beard,
fat raised cheeks, and clean-shaven head, and
said, "O Muhammad! Be afraid of Allah! "
The Prophet said, "Who would obey Allah if I
disobeyed Him? (Allah). He trusts me over the
people of the earth, but you do not trust
me?" A man from the people (present then),
who, I think, was Khalid bin Al-Walid, asked for
permission to kill him, but the Prophet prevented
him. When the man went away, the Prophet said,
"Out of the offspring of this man, there will
be people who will recite the Quran but it will
not go beyond their throats, and they will go out
of Islam as an arrow goes out through the game,
and they will kill the Muslims and leave the
idolators. Should I live till they appear, I would
kill them as the Killing of the nation of
'Ad."

Volume
9, Book 93, Number 532c:
Narrated 'Ata' bin
Yazid Al-Laithi:
On the authority of
Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of
Resurrection?" The Prophet said, "Do you
have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full
moon night?" They said, "No, O Allah's
Apostle." He said, "Do you have any
difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no
clouds?" They said, "No, O Allah's
Apostle." He said, "So you will see Him,
like that. Allah will gather all the people on the
Day of Resurrection, and say, 'Whoever worshipped
something (in the world) should follow (that
thing),' so, whoever worshipped the sun will
follow the sun, and whoever worshiped the moon
will follow the moon, and whoever used to worship
certain (other false) deities, he will follow
those deities. And there will remain only this
nation with its good people (or its hypocrites).
(The sub-narrator, Ibrahim is in doubt.) Allah
will come to them and say, 'I am your Lord.' They
will (deny Him and) say, 'We will stay here till
our Lord comes, for when our Lord comes, we will
recognize Him.' So Allah will come to them in His
appearance which they know, and will say, 'I am
your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord,' so
they will follow Him.
Then a bridge will
be laid across Hell (Fire)' I and my followers
will be the first ones to go across it and none
will speak on that Day except the Apostles. And
the invocation of the Apostles on that Day will
be, 'O Allah, save! Save!' In Hell (or over The
Bridge) there will be hooks like the thorns of As-Sa'dan
(thorny plant). Have you seen As-Sa'dan? "
They replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!"
He said, "So those hooks look like the thorns
of As-Sa'dan, but none knows how big they are
except Allah. Those hooks will snap the people
away according to their deeds. Some of the people
will stay in Hell (be destroyed) because of their
(evil) deeds, and some will be cut or torn by the
hooks (and fall into Hell) and some will be
punished and then relieved. When Allah has
finished His Judgments among the people, He will
take whomever He will out of Hell through His
Mercy. He will then order the angels to take out
of the Fire all those who used to worship none but
Allah from among those whom Allah wanted to be
merciful to and those who testified (in the world)
that none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah. The angels will recognize them in the Fire
by the marks of prostration (on their foreheads),
for the Fire will eat up all the human body except
the mark caused by prostration as Allah has
forbidden the Fire to eat the mark of prostration.
They will come out of the (Hell) Fire, completely
burnt and then the water of life will be poured
over them and they will grow under it as does a
seed that comes in the mud of the torrent.
Then Allah will
finish the judgments among the people, and there
will remain one man facing the (Hell) Fire and he
will be the last person among the people of Hell
to enter Paradise. He will say, 'O my Lord! Please
turn my face away from the fire because its air
has hurt me and its severe heat has burnt me.' So
he will invoke Allah in the way Allah will wish
him to invoke, and then Allah will say to him, 'If
I grant you that, will you then ask for anything
else?' He will reply, 'No, by Your Power, (Honor)
I will not ask You for anything else.' He will
give his Lord whatever promises and covenants
Allah will demand.
So Allah will turn
his face away from Hell (Fire). When he will face
Paradise and will see it, he will remain quiet for
as long as Allah will wish him to remain quiet,
then he will say, 'O my Lord! Bring me near to the
gate of Paradise.' Allah will say to him, 'Didn't
you give your promises and covenants that you
would never ask for anything more than what you
had been given? Woe on you, O Adam's son! How
treacherous you are!' He will say, 'O my lord,'
and will keep on invoking Allah till He says to
him, 'If I give what you are asking, will you then
ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by
Your (Honor) Power, I will not ask for anything
else.'
Then he will give
covenants and promises to Allah and then Allah
will bring him near to the gate of Paradise. When
he stands at the gate of Paradise, Paradise will
be opened and spread before him, and he will see
its splendor and pleasures whereupon he will
remain quiet as long as Allah will wish him to
remain quiet, and then he will say, O my Lord!
Admit me into Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't
you give your covenants and promises that you
would not ask for anything more than what you had
been given?' Allah will say, 'Woe on you, O Adam's
son! How treacherous you are! '
The man will say,
'O my Lord! Do not make me the most miserable of
Your creation,' and he will keep on invoking Allah
till Allah will laugh because of his sayings, and
when Allah will laugh because of him, He will say
to him, 'Enter Paradise,' and when he will enter
it, Allah will say to him, 'Wish for anything.' So
he will ask his Lord, and he will wish for a great
number of things, for Allah Himself will remind
him to wish for certain things by saying, '(Wish
for) so-and-so.' When there is nothing more to
wish for, Allah will say, 'This is for you, and
its equal (is for you) as well."
'Ata' bin Yazid
added: Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri who was present with
Abu Huraira, did not deny whatever the latter
said, but when Abu Huraira said that Allah had
said, "That is for you and its equal as
well," Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri said, "And
ten times as much, O Abu Huraira!" Abu
Huraira said, "I do not remember, except his
saying, 'That is for you and its equal as
well.'" Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri then said,
"I testify that I remember the Prophet
saying, 'That is for you, and ten times as much.'
' Abu Huraira then added, "That man will be
the last person of the people of Paradise to enter
Paradise."
Volume
9, Book 93, Number 532s:
Narrated Abu Sa'id
Al-Khudri:
We said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day
of Resurrection?" He said, "Do you have
any difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon when
the sky is clear?" We said, "No."
He said, "So you will have no difficulty in
seeing your Lord on that Day as you have no
difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon (in a
clear sky)." The Prophet then said,
"Somebody will then announce, 'Let every
nation follow what they used to worship.' So the
companions of the cross will go with their cross,
and the idolators (will go) with their idols, and
the companions of every god (false deities) (will
go) with their god, till there remain those who
used to worship Allah, both the obedient ones and
the mischievous ones, and some of the people of
the Scripture. Then Hell will be presented to them
as if it were a mirage. Then it will be said to
the Jews, "What did you use to worship?' They
will reply, 'We used to worship Ezra, the son of
Allah.' It will be said to them, 'You are liars,
for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. What do
you want (now)?' They will reply, 'We want You to
provide us with water.' Then it will be said to
them 'Drink,' and they will fall down in Hell
(instead). Then it will be said to the Christians,
'What did you use to worship?'
They will reply,
'We used to worship Messiah, the son of Allah.' It
will be said, 'You are liars, for Allah has
neither a wife nor a son. What: do you want
(now)?' They will say, 'We want You to provide us
with water.' It will be said to them, 'Drink,' and
they will fall down in Hell (instead). When there
remain only those who used to worship Allah
(Alone), both the obedient ones and the
mischievous ones, it will be said to them, 'What
keeps you here when all the people have gone?'
They will say, 'We parted with them (in the world)
when we were in greater need of them than we are
today, we heard the call of one proclaiming, 'Let
every nation follow what they used to worship,'
and now we are waiting for our Lord.' Then the
Almighty will come to them in a shape other than
the one which they saw the first time, and He will
say, 'I am your Lord,' and they will say, 'You are
not our Lord.' And none will speak: to Him then
but the Prophets, and then it will be said to
them, 'Do you know any sign by which you can
recognize Him?' They will say. 'The Shin,' and so
Allah will then uncover His Shin whereupon every
believer will prostrate before Him and there will
remain those who used to prostrate before Him just
for showing off and for gaining good reputation.
These people will try to prostrate but their backs
will be rigid like one piece of a wood (and they
will not be able to prostrate). Then the bridge
will be laid across Hell." We, the companions
of the Prophet said, "O Allah's Apostle! What
is the bridge?'
He said, "It
is a slippery (bridge) on which there are clamps
and (Hooks like) a thorny seed that is wide at one
side and narrow at the other and has thorns with
bent ends. Such a thorny seed is found in Najd and
is called As-Sa'dan. Some of the believers will
cross the bridge as quickly as the wink of an eye,
some others as quick as lightning, a strong wind,
fast horses or she-camels. So some will be safe
without any harm; some will be safe after
receiving some scratches, and some will fall down
into Hell (Fire). The last person will cross by
being dragged (over the bridge)." The Prophet
said, "You (Muslims) cannot be more pressing
in claiming from me a right that has been clearly
proved to be yours than the believers in
interceding with Almighty for their (Muslim)
brothers on that Day, when they see themselves
safe.
They will say, 'O
Allah! (Save) our brothers (for they) used to pray
with us, fast with us and also do good deeds with
us.' Allah will say, 'Go and take out (of Hell)
anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the
weight of one (gold) Dinar.' Allah will forbid the
Fire to burn the faces of those sinners. They will
go to them and find some of them in Hell (Fire) up
to their feet, and some up to the middle of their
legs. So they will take out those whom they will
recognize and then they will return, and Allah
will say (to them), 'Go and take out (of Hell)
anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the
weight of one half Dinar.' They will take out
whomever they will recognize and return, and then
Allah will say, 'Go and take out (of Hell) anyone
in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight
of an atom (or a smallest ant), and so they will
take out all those whom they will recognize."
Abu Sa'id said: If you do not believe me then read
the Holy Verse:--
'Surely! Allah
wrongs not even of the weight of an atom (or a
smallest ant) but if there is any good (done) He
doubles it.' (4.40) The Prophet added, "Then
the prophets and Angels and the believers will
intercede, and (last of all) the Almighty (Allah)
will say, 'Now remains My Intercession. He will
then hold a handful of the Fire from which He will
take out some people whose bodies have been burnt,
and they will be thrown into a river at the
entrance of Paradise, called the water of life.
They will grow on
its banks, as a seed carried by the torrent grows.
You have noticed how it grows beside a rock or
beside a tree, and how the side facing the sun is
usually green while the side facing the shade is
white. Those people will come out (of the River of
Life) like pearls, and they will have (golden)
necklaces, and then they will enter Paradise
whereupon the people of Paradise will say, 'These
are the people emancipated by the Beneficent. He
has admitted them into Paradise without them
having done any good deeds and without sending
forth any good (for themselves).' Then it will be
said to them, 'For you is what you have seen and
its equivalent as well.'"
Volume
9, Book 93, Number 532v:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said,
"The believers will be kept (waiting) on the
Day of Resurrection so long that they will become
worried and say, "Let us ask somebody to
intercede far us with our Lord so that He may
relieve us from our place.
Then they will go
to Adam and say, 'You are Adam, the father of the
people. Allah created you with His Own Hand and
made you reside in His Paradise and ordered His
angels to prostrate before you, and taught you the
names of all things will you intercede for us with
your Lord so that He may relieve us from this
place of ours? Adam will say, 'I am not fit for
this undertaking.' He will mention his mistakes he
had committed, i.e., his eating off the tree
though he had been forbidden to do so. He will
add, 'Go to Noah, the first prophet sent by Allah
to the people of the Earth.' The people will go to
Noah who will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking' He will mention his mistake which he
had done, i.e., his asking his Lord without
knowledge.' He will say (to them), 'Go to Abraham,
Khalil Ar-Rahman.' They will go to Abraham who
will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. He
would mention three words by which he told a lie,
and say (to them). 'Go to Moses, a slave whom
Allah gave the Torah and spoke to, directly and
brought near Him, for conversation.'
They will go to
Moses who will say, 'I am not fit for this
undertaking. He will mention his mistake he made,
i.e., killing a person, and will say (to them),
'Go to Jesus, Allah's slave and His Apostle, and a
soul created by Him and His Word.' (Be: And it
was.) They will go to Jesus who will say, 'I am
not fit for this undertaking but you'd better go
to Muhammad the slave whose past and future sins
have been forgiven by Allah.' So they will come to
me, and I will ask my Lord's permission to enter
His House and then I will be permitted. When I see
Him I will fall down in prostration before Him,
and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as
He will, and then He will say, 'O Muhammad, lift
up your head and speak, for you will be listened
to, and intercede, for your intercession will be
accepted, and ask (for anything) for it will be
granted:' Then I will raise my head and glorify my
Lord with certain praises which He has taught me.
Allah will put a limit for me (to intercede for a
certain type of people) I will take them out and
make them enter Paradise." (Qatada said: I
heard Anas saying that), the Prophet said, "I
will go out and take them out of Hell (Fire) and
let them enter Paradise, and then I will return
and ask my Lord for permission to enter His House
and I will be permitted.
When I will see Him
I will fall down in prostration before Him and He
will leave me in prostration as long as He will
let me (in that state), and then He will say, 'O
Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will
be listened to, and intercede, for your
intercession will be accepted, and ask, your
request will be granted.' " The Prophet
added, "So I will raise my head and glorify
and praise Him as He has taught me. Then I will
intercede and He will put a limit for me (to
intercede for a certain type of people). I will
take them out and let them enter Paradise." (Qatada
added: I heard Anas saying that) the Prophet said,
'I will go out and take them out of Hell (Fire)
and let them enter Paradise, and I will return for
the third time and will ask my Lord for permission
to enter His house, and I will be allowed to
enter.
When I see Him, I
will fall down in prostration before Him, and will
remain in prostration as long as He will, and then
He will say, 'Raise your head, O Muhammad, and
speak, for you will be listened to, and intercede,
for your intercession will be accepted, and ask,
for your request will be granted.' So I will raise
my head and praise Allah as He has taught me and
then I will intercede and He will put a limit for
me (to intercede for a certain type of people). I
will take them out and let them enter
Paradise." (Qatada said: I heard Anas saying
that) the Prophet said, "So I will go out and
take them out of Hell (Fire) and let them enter
Paradise, till none will remain in the Fire except
those whom Quran will imprison (i.e., those who
are destined for eternal life in the fire)."
The narrator then recited the Verse:-- "It
may be that your Lord will raise you to a Station
of Praise and Glory.' (17.79) The narrator added:
This is the Station of Praise and Glory which
Allah has promised to your Prophet.

in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and
Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab Mudar which
is between Jumad (Ath-Tham) and Sha'ban." The
Prophet then asked us, "Which month is
this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle

(Mecca)?" We said, "Yes." He asked,
"What is the day today?" We said,
"Allah and His Apostle know (it) better. Then
he kept quiet so long that we thought that he
might call it by another name. Then he said,
"Isn't it the Day of An-Nahr (slaughtering of
sacrifices)?" We said, "Yes." Then
he said, "Your blood (lives), your
properties," (the sub narrator Muhammad,
said: I think he also said): "..and your
honor) are as sacred to one another like the
sanctity of this Day of yours, in this town of
yours, in this month of yours.
You shall meet your
Lord and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware!
Don't go astray after me by striking the necks of
one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who

for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it

has a limited fixed term (in this world) so she
should be patient and hope for Allah's

an angel is sent to him (by Allah) and the angel
is allowed (ordered) to write four things; his
livelihood, his (date of) death, his deeds, and
whether he will be a wretched one or a blessed one

into him. So one of you may do (good) deeds
characteristic of the people of Paradise so much

"But by Allah, I did not think that Allah,

Inspiration which would be recited, for I consider
myself too unimportant to be talked about by Allah

Hilal Al'Anzi:
We, i.e., some
people from Basra gathered and went to Anas bin
Malik, and we went in company with Thabit
Al-Bunnani so that he might ask him about the
Hadith of Intercession on our behalf. Behold, Anas
was in his palace, and our arrival coincided with
his Duha prayer. We asked permission to enter and
he admitted us while he was sitting on his bed. We
said to Thabit, "Do not ask him about
anything else first but the Hadith of
Intercession." He said, "O Abu Hamza!
There are your brethren from Basra coming to ask
you about the Hadith of Intercession." Anas
then said, "Muhammad talked to us saying, 'On
the Day of Resurrection the people will surge with
each other like waves, and then they will come to
Adam and say, 'Please intercede for us with your
Lord.' He will say, 'I am not fit for that but
you'd better go to Abraham as he is the Khalil of
the Beneficent.' They will go to Abraham and he
will say, 'I am not fit for that, but you'd better
go to Moses as he is the one to whom Allah spoke
directly.' So they will go to Moses and he will
say, 'I am not fit for that, but you'd better go
to Jesus as he is a soul created by Allah and His
Word.' (Be: And it was) they will go to Jesus and
he will say, 'I am not fit for that, but you'd
better go to Muhammad.'
They would come to
me and I would say, 'I am for that.' Then I will
ask for my Lord's permission, and it will be
given, and then He will inspire me to praise Him
with such praises as I do not know now. So I will
praise Him with those praises and will fall down,
prostrate before Him. Then it will be said, 'O
Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will
be listened to; and ask, for your will be granted
(your request); and intercede, for your
intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O
Lord, my followers! My followers!' And then it
will be said, 'Go and take out of Hell (Fire) all
those who have faith in their hearts, equal to the
weight of a barley grain.' I will go and do so and
return to praise Him with the same praises, and
fall down (prostrate) before Him. Then it will be
said, 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for
you will be listened to, and ask, for you will be
granted (your request); and intercede, for your
intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O
Lord, my followers! My followers!' It will be
said, 'Go and take out of it all those who have
faith in their hearts equal to the weight of a
small ant or a mustard seed.' I will go and do so
and return to praise Him with the same praises,
and fall down in prostration before Him. It will
be said, 'O, Muhammad, raise your head and speak,
for you will be listened to, and ask, for you will
be granted (your request); and intercede, for your
intercession will be accepted.' I will say, 'O
Lord, my followers!' Then He will say, 'Go and
take out (all those) in whose hearts there is
faith even to the lightest, lightest mustard seed.
(Take them) out of the Fire.' I will go and do
so."'
When we left Anas,
I said to some of my companions, "Let's pass
by Al-Hasan who is hiding himself in the house of
Abi Khalifa and request him to tell us what Anas
bin Malik has told us." So we went to him and
we greeted him and he admitted us. We said to him,
"O Abu Said! We came to you from your brother
Anas Bin Malik and he related to us a Hadith about
the intercession the like of which I have never
heard." He said, "What is that?"
Then we told him of the Hadith and said, "He
stopped at this point (of the Hadith)." He
said, "What then?" We said, "He did
not add anything to that." He said, Anas
related the Hadith to me twenty years ago when he
was a young fellow. I don't know whether he forgot
or if he did not like to let you depend on what he
might have said." We said, "O Abu Said !
Let us know that." He smiled and said,
"Man was created hasty. I did not mention
that, but that I wanted to inform you of it.
Anas told me the
same as he told you and said that the Prophet
added, 'I then return for a fourth time and praise
Him similarly and prostrate before Him me the same
as he 'O Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for
you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be
granted (your request): and intercede, for your
intercession will be accepted .' I will say, 'O
Lord, allow me to intercede for whoever said,
'None has the right to be worshiped except Allah.'
Then Allah will say, 'By my Power, and my Majesty,
and by My Supremacy, and by My Greatness, I will
take out of Hell (Fire) whoever said: 'None has
the right to be worshipped except Allah.' ''

Volume
9, Book 93, Number 608:
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
The night Allah's
Apostle was taken for a journey from the sacred
mosque (of Mecca) Al-Ka'ba: Three persons came to
him (in a dreamy while he was sleeping in the
Sacred Mosque before the Divine Inspiration was
revealed to Him. One of them said, "Which of
them is he?" The middle (second) angel said,
"He is the best of them." The last
(third) angle said, "Take the best of
them." Only that much happened on that night
and he did not see them till they came on another
night, i.e. after The Divine Inspiration was
revealed to him. (Fateh-Al-Bari Page 258, Vol. 17)
and he saw them, his eyes were asleep but his
heart was not----and so is the case with the
prophets: their eyes sleep while their hearts do
not sleep. So those angels did not talk to him
till they carried him and placed him beside the
well of Zam-Zam. From among them Gabriel took
charge of him. Gabriel cut open (the part of his
body) between his throat and the middle of his
chest (heart) and took all the material out of his
chest and abdomen and then washed it with Zam-Zam
water with his own hands till he cleansed the
inside of his body, and then a gold tray
containing a gold bowl full of belief and wisdom
was brought and then Gabriel stuffed his chest and
throat blood vessels with it and then closed it
(the chest). He then ascended with him to the
heaven of the world and knocked on one of its
doors.
The dwellers of the
Heaven asked, 'Who is it?' He said,
"Gabriel." They said, "Who is
accompanying you?" He said,
"Muhammad." They said, "Has he been
called?" He said, "Yes" They said,
"He is welcomed." So the dwellers of the
Heaven became pleased with his arrival, and they
did not know what Allah would do to the Prophet on
earth unless Allah informed them. The Prophet met
Adam over the nearest Heaven. Gabriel said to the
Prophet, "He is your father; greet him."
The Prophet greeted him and Adam returned his
greeting and said, "Welcome, O my Son! O what
a good son you are!" Behold, he saw two
flowing rivers, while he was in the nearest sky.
He asked, "What are these two rivers, O
Gabriel?" Gabriel said, "These are the
sources of the Nile and the Euphrates."
Then Gabriel took
him around that Heaven and behold, he saw another
river at the bank of which there was a palace
built of pearls and emerald. He put his hand into
the river and found its mud like musk Adhfar. He
asked, "What is this, O Gabriel?"
Gabriel said, "This is the Kauthar which your
Lord has kept for you." Then Gabriel ascended
(with him) to the second Heaven and the angels
asked the same questions as those on the first
Heaven, i.e., "Who is it?" Gabriel
replied, "Gabriel". They asked,
"Who is accompanying you?" He said,
"Muhammad." They asked, "Has he
been sent for?" He said, "Yes."
Then they said, "He is welcomed.'' Then he
(Gabriel) ascended with the Prophet to the third
Heaven, and the angels said the same as the angels
of the first and the second Heavens had said.
Then he ascended
with him to the fourth Heaven and they said the
same; and then he ascended with him to the fifth
Heaven and they said the same; and then he
ascended with him to the sixth Heaven and they
said the same; then he ascended with him to the
seventh Heaven and they said the same. On each
Heaven there were prophets whose names he had
mentioned and of whom I remember Idris on the
second Heaven, Aaron on the fourth Heavens another
prophet whose name I don't remember, on the fifth
Heaven, Abraham on the sixth Heaven, and Moses on
the seventh Heaven because of his privilege of
talking to Allah directly. Moses said (to Allah),
"O Lord! I thought that none would be raised
up above me."
But Gabriel
ascended with him (the Prophet) for a distance
above that, the distance of which only Allah
knows, till he reached the Lote Tree (beyond which
none may pass) and then the Irresistible, the Lord
of Honor and Majesty approached and came closer
till he (Gabriel) was about two bow lengths or
(even) nearer. (It is said that it was Gabriel who
approached and came closer to the Prophet. (Fate
Al-Bari Page 263, 264, Vol. 17). Among the things
which Allah revealed to him then, was: "Fifty
prayers were enjoined on his followers in a day
and a night."
Then the Prophet
descended till he met Moses, and then Moses
stopped him and asked, "O Muhammad ! What did
your Lord en join upon you?" The Prophet
replied," He enjoined upon me to perform
fifty prayers in a day and a night." Moses
said, "Your followers cannot do that; Go back
so that your Lord may reduce it for you and for
them." So the Prophet turned to Gabriel as if
he wanted to consult him about that issue. Gabriel
told him of his opinion, saying, "Yes, if you
wish." So Gabriel ascended with him to the
Irresistible and said while he was in his place,
"O Lord, please lighten our burden as my
followers cannot do that." So Allah deducted
for him ten prayers where upon he returned to
Moses who stopped him again and kept on sending
him back to his Lord till the enjoined prayers
were reduced to only five prayers.
Then Moses stopped
him when the prayers had been reduced to five and
said, "O Muhammad! By Allah, I tried to
persuade my nation, Bani Israel to do less than
this, but they could not do it and gave it up.
However, your followers are weaker in body, heart,
sight and hearing, so return to your Lord so that
He may lighten your burden."
The Prophet turned
towards Gabriel for advice and Gabriel did not
disapprove of that. So he ascended with him for
the fifth time. The Prophet said, "O Lord, my
followers are weak in their bodies, hearts,
hearing and constitution, so lighten our
burden." On that the Irresistible said,
"O Muhammad!" the Prophet replied,
"Labbaik and Sa'daik." Allah said,
"The Word that comes from Me does not change,
so it will be as I enjoined on you in the Mother
of the Book." Allah added, "Every good
deed will be rewarded as ten times so it is fifty
(prayers) in the Mother of the Book (in reward)
but you are to perform only five (in
practice)."
The Prophet
returned to Moses who asked, "What have you
done?" He said, "He has lightened our
burden: He has given us for every good deed a
tenfold reward." Moses said, "By Allah!
I tried to make Bani Israel observe less than
that, but they gave it up. So go back to your Lord
that He may lighten your burden further."
Allah's Apostle said, "O Moses! By Allah, I
feel shy of returning too many times to my
Lord." On that Gabriel said, "Descend in
Allah's Name." The Prophet then woke while he
was in the Sacred Mosque (at Mecca).

heaps like mountains. On that Allah will say (to

concerning (the Qur'an) to make haste therewith) .
He said, "The Prophet used to undergo great
difficulty in receiving the Divine Inspiration and
used to move his lips.' Ibn 'Abbas said (to
Sa'id), "I move them (my lips) as Allah's
Apostle used to move his lips." And Said said
(to me), "I move my lips as I saw Ibn 'Abbas
moving his lips," and then he moved his lips.
So Allah revealed:--
'(O Muhammad!) Do
not move your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to
make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it
and give you (O Muhammad) the ability to recite
it. (i.e., to collect it in your chest and then
you recite it).' (75.16-17) But when We have
recited it, to you (O Muhammad through Gabriel)
then follow you its recital.' (75.18) This means,
"You should listen to it and keep quiet and
then it is upon Us to make you recite it."

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

when he led his companions in prayer, he used to
raise his voice while reciting the Qur'an; and if
the pagans heard him, they would abuse the Qur'an,
its Revealer, and the one who brought it. So Allah
said to His Prophet: "Neither say your prayer
aloud. i.e., your recitation (of Qur'an) lest the

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

Allah's Apostle
said, "Your stay (in this world) in
comparison to the stay of the nations preceding

people of the Torah were given the Torah and they
acted on it till midday and then they were unable
to carry on. And they were given (a reward equal
to) one Qirat each. Then the people of the Gospel
were given the Gospel and they acted on it till
'Asr Prayer and then they were unable to carry on,
so they were given la reward equal to) one Qirat
each. Then you were given the Qur'an and you acted
on it till sunset, therefore you were given (a
reward equal to) two Qirats each. On that, the
people of the Scriptures said, 'These people
(Muslims) did less work than we but they took a
bigger reward.' Allah said (to them). 'Have I done
any oppression to you as regards your rights?'

is My Blessing which I grant to whomsoever I
will.' "

and the one to whom I do not give is dearer to me
than the one to whom I give. I give to some people
because of the impatience and discontent present
in their hearts, and leave other people because of
the content and goodness Allah has bestowed on
them, and one of them is 'Amr bin Taghlib."

and asked a one-eyed man to recite. He went on

his hand. The Prophet said, "Lift up your

said, "You are telling a lie, for he taught
it to me in a way different from the way you have
recited it!" Then I started leading (dragged)
him to Allah's Apostle and said (to the Prophet),

meat, and there was sitting beside him, a man from
the tribe of Bani Taimul-lah who looked like one
of the Mawali. Abu Musa invited the man to eat but
the man said, "I have seen chicken eating
some dirty things, and I have taken an oath not to
eat chicken." Abu Musa said to him,
"Come along, let me tell you something in
this regard. Once I went to the Prophet with a few
men from Ash'ariyyin and we asked him for mounts.
The Prophet said, By Allah, I will not mount you
on anything; besides I do not have anything to
mount you on.' Then a few camels from the war
booty were brought to the Prophet, and he asked
about us, saying, 'Where are the group of
Ash'ariyyin?' So he ordered for five fat camels to
be given to us and then we set out. We said, 'What
have we done? Allah's Apostle took an oath that he
would not give us anything to ride and that he had
nothing for us to ride, yet he provided us with
mounts. We made Allah's Apostle forget his oath!
By Allah, we will never be successful.' So we
returned to him and reminded him of his oath. He
said, 'I have not provided you with the mount, but
Allah has done so. By Allah, I may take an oath to
do something, but on finding something else which
is better, I do that which is better and make the
expiation for my oath.' "

may enter Paradise (by acting on them) and we may
inform our people whom we have left behind to
observe it." The Prophet said, "I order
you to do four things and forbid you from four
things: I order you to believe in Allah. Do you
know what is meant by belief in Allah? It is to
testify that none has the right to be worshipped
except Allah, to offer prayers perfectly, to give
Zakat, and to give Al-Khumus (one-fifth of the war
booty) (in Allah's Cause). And I forbid you four
