Narrated Ma`bad bin 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 Sa`id! 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 Sa`id ! 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 (ﷺ) 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.’ ”

Narrated `Aisha: The Verse:– ‘(O Muhammad!) Neither say your prayer aloud nor say it in a low tone.’ (17.110) was
revealed in connection with the invocations.

Narrated `Abdullah: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The person who will be the last one to enter Paradise and the last to come out of
Hell (Fire) will be a man who will come out crawling, and his Lord will say to him, ‘Enter Paradise.’
He will reply, ‘O Lord, Paradise is full.’ Allah will give him the same order thrice, and each time the
man will give Him the same reply, i.e., ‘Paradise is full.’ Thereupon Allah will say (to him), ‘Ten times
of the world is for you.’ ”

Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “There will be none among you but his Lord will talk to him, and there will be
no interpreter between him and Allah. He will look to his right and see nothing but his deeds which he
has sent forward, and will look to his left and see nothing but his deeds which he has sent forward, and
will look in front of him and see nothing but the (Hell) Fire facing him. So save yourself from the
(Hell) Fire even with half a date (given in charity).” Al-A`mash said: `Amr bin Murra said, Khaithama
narrated the same and added, ‘..even with a good word.’ ”

Narrated `Abdullah: A priest from the Jews came (to the Prophet) and said, “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will place
all the heavens on one finger, and the Earth on one finger, and the waters and the land on one finger,
and all the creation on one finger, and then He will shake them and say. ‘I am the King! I am the
King!’” I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) smiling till his premolar teeth became visible expressing his amazement and
his belief in what he had said. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited: ‘No just estimate have they made of Allah
such as due to Him (up to)…; High is He above the partners they attribute to Him.’ (39.67)

Narrated Safwan bin Muhriz: A man asked Ibn `Umar, “What have you heard from Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) regarding An-Najwa?” He said,
“Everyone of you will come close to His Lord Who will screen him from the people and say to him,
‘Did you do so-and-so?’ He will reply, ‘Yes.’ Then Allah will say, ‘Did you do so-and-so?’ He will
reply, ‘Yes.’ So Allah will question him and make him confess, and then Allah will say, ‘I screened
your sins in the world and forgive them for you today.’ ”

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Adam and Moses debated with each other and Moses said, ‘You are Adam who
turned out your offspring from Paradise.’ Adam said, “You are Moses whom Allah chose for His
Message and for His direct talk, yet you blame me for a matter which had been ordained for me even
before my creation?’ Thus Adam overcame Moses.”

Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab, ‘Alqama bin Waqqas and ‘Ubaidullah bin `Abdullah regarding the narrating of
the forged statement against `Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, when the slanderers said what they said
and Allah revealed her innocence. `Aisha said, “But by Allah, I did not think that Allah, (to confirm
my innocence), would reveal Divine Inspiration which would be recited, for I consider myself too
unimportant to be talked about by Allah through Divine Inspiration revealed for recitation, but I hoped
that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) might have a dream in which Allah would reveal my innocence. So Allah
revealed:– ‘Verily! Those who spread the slander are a gang among you…’ (The ten Verses in Suratan-
Nur) (24.11-20)

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah says, ‘If My slave intends to do a bad deed then (O Angels) do not write
it unless he does it; if he does it, then write it as it is, but if he refrains from doing it for My Sake, then
write it as a good deed (in his account). (On the other hand) if he intends to do a good deed, but does
not do it, then write a good deed (in his account), and if he does it, then write it for him (in his
account) as ten good deeds up to seven-hundred times.’ ”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah created the creation, and when He finished from His creation the Rahm
(womb) got up, and Allah said (to it). “Stop! What do you want? It said; “At this place I seek refuge
with You from all those who sever me (i.e. sever the ties of Kinship.)” Allah said: “Would you be
pleased that I will keep good relation with the one who will keep good relation with you, and I will
sever the relation with the one who will sever the relation with you. It said: ‘Yes, ‘O my Lord.’ Allah
said (to it), ‘That is for you.” And then Abu Huraira recited the Verse:– “Would you then if you were
given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship.” (47.22)
