Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whenever anyone of you invoke Allah for something, he should be firm in his
asking, and he should not say: ‘If You wish, give me…’ for none can compel Allah to do something
against His Will.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) stood before Musailama (the liar) who was sitting with his companions then, and said to
him, “If you ask me for this piece (of palm-leaf stalk), even then I would not give it to you. You
cannot avoid what Allah has ordained for you, and if you turn away from Islam, Allah will surely ruin
you! ”

While I was walking in company with the Prophet (ﷺ) in one of the fields of Medina, the Prophet (ﷺ) was
reclining on a palm leave stalk which he carried with him. We passed by a group of Jews. Some of
them said to the others, “Ask him about the spirit.” The others said, “Do not ask him, lest he would
say something that you hate.” Some of them said, “We will ask him.” So a man from among them
stood up and said, ‘O Abal-Qasim! What is the spirit?” The Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet and I knew that he was
being divinely inspired. Then he said: “They ask you concerning the Spirit, Say: The Spirit; its
knowledge is with my Lord. And of knowledge you (mankind) have been given only a little.” (17.85)

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “Some people from my followers will continue to be victorious over others
till Allah’s Order (The Hour) is established.” (See Hadith No. 414)

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “A group of my followers will keep on following Allah’s Laws strictly and
they will not be harmed by those who will disbelieve them or stand against them till Allah’s Order
(The Hour) will come while they will be in that state.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah guarantees to the person who carries out Jihad for His Cause and nothing
compelled him to go out but the Jihad in His Cause, and belief in His Words, that He will either admit
him into Paradise or return him with his reward or the booty he has earned to his residence from
where he went out.” (See Hadith No. 555).

A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “A man fights for pride and haughtiness another fights for
bravery, and another fights for showing off; which of these (cases) is in Allah’s Cause?” The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, “The one who fights that Allah’s Word (Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah’s Cause.” (See
Hadith No. 65, Vol. 4)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Gabriel, what prevents you. from visiting us more often than you do?” Then this
Verse was revealed:–‘And we angels descend not but by Command of your Lord. To Him belongs
what is before us and what is behind us..’ (19.64) So this was the answer to Muhammad.

While I was walking with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in one of the fields of Medina and he was walking leaning
on a stick, he passed a group of Jews. Some of them said to the others, “Ask him (the Prophet) about
the spirit.” Others said, “Do not ask him.” But they asked him and he stood leaning on the stick and I
was standing behind him and I thought that he was being divinely inspired. Then he said, “They ask
you concerning the spirit say: The spirit, its knowledge is with My Lord. And of knowledge you (O
men!) have been given only a little.” …(17.85) On that some of the Jews said to the others, “Didn’t we
tell you not to ask?”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “When Allah created the creations, He wrote with Him on His Throne: ‘My
Mercy has preceded My Anger.”
