I entered the mosque while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting there. When the sun had set, the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“O Abu Dharr! Do you know where this (sun) goes?” I said, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” He
said, “It goes and asks permission to prostrate, and it is allowed, and (one day) it, as if being ordered
to return whence it came, then it will rise from the west.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) recited, “That: “And the
sun runs on its fixed course (for a term decreed),” (36.38) as it is recited by `Abdullah.

The Verse of Al-Hijab (veiling of women) was revealed in connection with Zainab bint Jahsh. (On the
day of her marriage with him) the Prophet (ﷺ) gave a wedding banquet with bread and meat; and she used
to boast before other wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to say, “Allah married me (to the Prophet (ﷺ) in the
Heavens.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When Allah had finished His creation, He wrote over his Throne: ‘My Mercy
preceded My Anger.’

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The Right (Hand) of Allah Is full, and (Its fullness) is not affected by the
continuous spending night and day. Do you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and
the Earth? Yet all that has not decreased what is in His Right Hand. His Throne is over the water and
in His other Hand is the Bounty or the Power to bring about death, and He raises some people and
brings others down.” (See Hadith No. 508)

Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet (ﷺ) complaining about his wife. The Prophet (ﷺ) kept on saying (to
him), “Be afraid of Allah and keep your wife.” Aisha said, “If Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) were to conceal
anything (of the Qur’an he would have concealed this Verse.” Zainab used to boast before the wives of
the Prophet (ﷺ) and used to say, “You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to
the Prophet) by Allah from over seven Heavens.” And Thabit recited, “The Verse:– ‘But (O
Muhammad) you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make manifest, you did fear the
people,’ (33.37) was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid bin Haritha.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to a man, “Have you got anything of the Qur’an?” The man said, “Yes, such-andsuch
Sura, and such-and-such Sura,” naming the Suras.

While I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) , some people from Bani Tamim came to him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O
Bani Tamim! Accept the good news!” They said, “You have given us the good news; now give us
(something).” (After a while) some Yemenites entered, and he said to them, “O the people of Yemen!
Accept the good news, as Bani Tamim have refused it. ” They said, “We accept it, for we have come
to you to learn the Religion. So we ask you what the beginning of this universe was.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said
“There was Allah and nothing else before Him and His Throne was over the water, and He then
created the Heavens and the Earth and wrote everything in the Book.” Then a man came to me and
said, ‘O `Imran! Follow your she-camel for it has run away!” So I set out seeking it, and behold, it was
beyond the mirage! By Allah, I wished that it (my she-camel) had gone but that I had not left (the
gathering). ”

A man from the people of the scripture came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O Abal-Qasim! Allah will hold
the Heavens upon a Finger, and the Earth on a Finger and the land on a Finger, and all the creation on
a Finger, and will say, ‘I am the King! I am the King!’ ” I saw the Prophet (after hearing that), smiling
till his premolar teeth became visible, and he then recited: — ‘No just estimate have they made of Allah
such as due to him… (39.67)

Sa`d bin ‘Ubada said, “If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike him (behead him) with the blade of
my sword.” This news reached Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) who then said, “You people are astonished at Sa`d’s
Ghira. By Allah, I have more Ghira than he, and Allah has more Ghira than I, and because of Allah’s
Ghira, He has made unlawful Shameful deeds and sins (illegal sexual intercourse etc.) done in open
and in secret. And there is none who likes that the people should repent to Him and beg His pardon
than Allah, and for this reason He sent the warners and the givers of good news. And there is none
who likes to be praised more than Allah does, and for this reason, Allah promised to grant Paradise (to
the doers of good).” `Abdul Malik said, “No person has more Ghira than Allah.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will grasp the whole Earth by His Hand, and
all the Heavens in His right, and then He will say, ‘I am the King.” Abu Huraira said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
said,” Allah will grasp the Earth…’ ”
