    وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْكَافِرَ لَيُسْحَبُ لسانُه الفرسَخ والفرسخين يتوطَّؤُه النَّاس» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمد وَالتِّرْمِذِيّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَيْثُ غَرِيب

    Ibn `Umar reported God’s messenger as saying, “The infidel will drag his tongue a league and two leagues with people treading on it.” Ahmad and Tirmidhi transmitted it, the latter saying this is a gharib tradition.

    وَعَن الشّعبِيّ قَالَ: لَقِيَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كَعْبًا بِعَرَفَةَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَكَبَّرَ حَتَّى جَاوَبَتْهُ الْجِبَالُ. فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّا بَنُو هَاشِمٍ. فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَسَّمَ رُؤْيَتَهُ وَكَلَامَهُ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُوسَى فَكَلَّمَ مُوسَى مَرَّتَيْنِ وَرَآهُ مُحَمَّدٌ مَرَّتَيْنِ. قَالَ مسروقٌ: فَدخلت على عَائِشَة فَقلت: هَل رَأَى مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ؟ فَقَالَتْ: لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمْتَ بِشَيْءٍ قَفَّ لَهُ شَعَرِي قُلْتُ: رُوَيْدًا ثُمَّ قَرَأْتُ (لقد رأى من آيَات ربّه الْكُبْرَى) فَقَالَتْ: أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ بِكَ؟ إِنَّمَا هُوَ جِبْرِيلُ. مَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَأَى رَبَّهُ أَوْ كَتَمَ شَيْئًا مِمَّا أُمِرَ بِهِ أَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْخَمْسَ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: (إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ) فَقَدْ أَعْظَمَ الْفِرْيَةَ وَلَكِنَّهُ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ لَمْ يَرَهُ فِي صُورَتِهِ إِلَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ: مَرَّةً عِنْدَ سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى وَمَرَّةً فِي أَجْيَادٍ لَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ قَدْ سَدَّ الْأُفُقَ ” رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَرَوَى الشَّيْخَانِ مَعَ زِيَادَةٍ وَاخْتِلَافٍ وَفِي رِوَايَتِهِمَا: قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَائِشَةَ: فَأَيْنَ قَوْلُهُ (ثُمَّ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى) ؟ قَالَتْ: ذَاكَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ كَانَ يَأْتِيهِ فِي صُورَةِ الرَّجُلِ وَإِنَّهُ أَتَاهُ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ فِي صُورَتِهِ الَّتِي هِيَ صُورَتُهُ فَسَدَّ الْأُفُقَ

    Ash-Sha’bi told that Ibn `Abbas met Ka`b at `Arafa and asked him about something, whereupon he said “God is most great” so loudly that the mountains re-echoed his voice. Ibn `Abbas said, “We are the B. Hashim,” and Ka’b replied, “God has divided the vision of Him and His speech between Muhammad and Moses, for He spoke twice to Moses and Muhammad saw Him twice.” Masruq said he went to visit `A’isha and asked whether Muhammad had seen his Lord, whereupon she replied, “You have said something that makes my hair stand on end.” Telling her not to be excited he recited, “He has indeed seen the greatest of the signs of his Lord 1 .” She replied, “where is it leading you? It was only Gabriel. Who told you that Muhammad saw his Lord, or concealed any command given him, or knew the five things of which God most high said, `God has knowledge of the last hour, He sends down the rain 2 ? He considered falsehood to be serious. But he saw Gabriel, seeing him in bodily form only twice, once at the lote-tree of the boundary, and once at Ajyad 3 with six hundred wings blocking out the horizon.” [1] Quran; 53:18 [2] Quran; 31:34 [3] A place in the neighbourhood of Makkah. Tirmidhi transmitted it, and the two shaikhs transmitted it with an addition and a difference. In their version he told that he asked `A’isha the meaning of His words, “Then he drew near and was suspended, and was two bows’ length away or nearer[4], “and she replied, “That was Gabriel who used to come to him in human form, but on this occasion he came to him in his own form in which he was fashioned and blocked out the horizon.” [4] Quran; 53:8

    وَعَن ابْن مَسْعُود فِي قَوْلِهِ: (فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى) وَفِي قَوْلِهِ: (مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى) وَفِي قَوْلِهِ: (رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى) قَالَ فِيهَا كُلِّهَا: رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لَهُ سِتُّمِائَةِ جَنَاحٍ. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ التِّرْمِذِيِّ قَالَ: (مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَى) قَالَ: رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ جِبْرِيلَ فِي حُلَّةٍ مِنْ رَفْرَفٍ قَدْ مَلَأَ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَهُ وَلِلْبُخَارِيِّ فِي قَوْلِهِ: (لَقَدْ رَأَى مِنْ آيَاتِ رَبِّهِ الْكُبْرَى) قَالَ: رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاءِ

    Ibn Mas’ud said regarding God’s words, “He was two bows’ length away or nearer,” “The heart did not belie what it saw,” and “He has indeed seen the greatest of the signs of his Lord,” that they all refer to his seeing Gabriel who had six hundred wings. (Bukhari and Muslim.) In Tirmidhi’s version he said regarding “The eye did not belie what it saw” that God’s messenger saw Gabriel in a mantle of thin brocade, filling the space between the sky and the earth. Tirmidhi and Bukhari tell regarding His words, “He has indeed seen the greatest of the signs of his Lord,” that he saw thin green brocade which blocked out the horizon in the sky.

    وسُئل مَالك بن أَنسٍ عَن قَوْله تَعَالَى (إِلى ربِّها ناظرة) فَقِيلَ: قَوْمٌ يَقُولُونَ: إِلَى ثَوَابِهِ. فَقَالَ مَالِكٌ: كَذَبُوا فَأَيْنَ هُمْ عَنْ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: (كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لمحجوبونَ) ؟ قَالَ مَالِكٌ النَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَعْيُنِهِمْ وَقَالَ: لَوْ لَمْ يَرَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ رَبَّهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ يُعَيِّرِ اللَّهُ الْكَفَّارَ بِالْحِجَابِ فَقَالَ (كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لمحجوبون) رَوَاهُ فِي «شرح السّنة»

    Malik b. Anas was asked about the words of God most high, “Looking towards their Lord[1],” and told that some people said it referred to His reward. To this Malik replied, “They lie. How do they explain His words, `Nay, on that day they shall be veiled from their Lord'[2]?” Malik said men would look at their Lord with their eyes on the day of resurrection, adding, “If the believers were not to look at their Lord on the day of resurrection God would not have reproached the infidels with being veiled saying, `Nay, on that day they shall be veiled from their Lord’.” Quran; 75:23 Quran; 83:15. This verse refers to unbelievers. It is transmitted in Sharh as-sunna .

    Jabir reported the Prophet as saying, “While the inhabitants of paradise are in their bliss a light will shine out to them, and raising their heads they will see that their Lord has looked down on them from above. He will then say, `Peace be to you, inhabitants of paradise,’ the proof of that being the words of God most high, `Peace, a word from a merciful Lord[*].’ He will then look at them and they will look at Him, and they will not turn aside to any of their bliss as long as they are looking at Him till He veils Himself from them and His light remains.” *Quran; 36:58 Ibn Majah transmitted it.

    عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «نَارُكُمْ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ» قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَافِيَةً قَالَ: «فُضِّلَتْ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِتِسْعَةٍ وَسِتِّينَ جُزْءًا كُلُّهُنَّ مِثْلُ حَرِّهَا» . مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ. وَاللَّفْظُ لِلْبُخَارِيِّ. وَفِي رِوَايَةِ مُسْلِمٍ: «نَارُكُمُ الَّتِي يُوقِدُ ابْنُ آدَمَ» . وَفِيهَا: «عَلَيْهَا» و «كلهَا» بدل «عَلَيْهِنَّ» و «كُلهنَّ»

    Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “The fire you have is one-seventieth part of the fire of Jahannam .” Someone suggested that if it were ordinary fire, it would be enough, but he replied, “It has sixty-nine parts in excess of fires in this world, each of them being equivalent to their heat.” (Bukhari and Muslim, the wording being Bukhari’s.) Muslim’s version has “Your fire which the son of Adam kindles,” and uses the feminine singular pronoun instead of the feminine plural. (This is a matter which makes no difference to the translation, but is purely connected with different forms of expression allowable in Arabic grammar.

Bashir reported God’s messenger as saying, “The inhabitant of hell who will have the lightest punishment will be he who has two sandals and two sandal-straps of fire from which his brain will bubble like a pot, and he will think that no one is having a more severe punishment than he, although he is having the lightest punishment.” (Bukhari and Muslim;)
