Volume 4, Book 54, Number 413:
Narrated 'Imran bin Husain:
Some people of Bani Tamim came to the Prophet and he
said (to them), "O Bani Tamim! rejoice with glad tidings."
They said, "You have given us glad tidings, now give us
something." On hearing that the color of his face changed
then the people of Yemen came to him and he said, "O
people of Yemen ! Accept the good tidings, as Bani Tamim
has refused them." The Yemenites said, "We accept them.
Then the Prophet started taking about the beginning of
creation and about Allah's Throne. In the mean time a man
came saying, "O 'Imran! Your she-camel has run away!'' (I
got up and went away), but l wish I had not left that
place (for I missed what Allah's Apostle had said).
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 414:
Narrated Imran bin Husain:
I went to the Prophet and tied my she-camel at the
gate. The people of Bani Tamim came to the Prophet who
said "O Bani Tamim! Accept the good tidings." They said
twice, 'You have given us the good tidings, now give us
something" Then some Yemenites came to him and he said,
"Accept the good tidings, O people of Yemem, for Bani
Tamim refused them." They said, "We accept it, O Allah's
Apostle! We have come to ask you about this matter (i.e.
the start of creations)." He said, "First of all, there
was nothing but Allah, and (then He created His Throne).
His throne was over the water, and He wrote everything in
the Book (in the Heaven) and created the Heavens and the
Earth." Then a man shouted, "O Ibn Husain! Your she-camel
has gone away!" So, I went away and could not see the
she-camel because of the mirage. By Allah, I wished I had
left that she-camel (but not that gathering).
Narrated 'Umar: One day the Prophet stood up amongst us
for a long period and informed us about the beginning of
creation (and talked about everything in detail) till he
mentioned how the people of Paradise will enter their
places and the people of Hell will enter their places.
Some remembered what he had said, and some forgot it.

"The son of Adam slights Me, and he should not slight Me,

son; and his disbelief in Me is his statement that I shall
not recreate him as I have created (him) before."

Volume 4, Book 54, Number 421:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
The Prophet asked me at sunset, "Do you know where the
sun goes (at the time of sunset)?" I replied, "Allah and
His Apostle know better." He said, "It goes (i.e. travels)
till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes
the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then
(a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate
itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it
will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be
permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has
come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the
interpretation of the Statement of Allah: "And the sun
Runs its fixed course For a term (decreed). that is The
Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All-Knowing."
(36.38)

Volume 4, Book 54, Number 424:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
The Prophet said, "The sun and the moon are two signs

Narrated 'Aisha:
On the day of a solar eclipse, Allah's Apostle stood up
(to offer the eclipse prayer). He recited Takbir, recited
a long recitation (of Holy Verses), bowed a long bowing,
and then he raised h is head saying. "Allah hears him who
sends his praises to Him." Then he stayed standing,
recited a long recitation again, but shorter than the
former, bowed a long bowing, but shorter than the first,
performed a long prostration and then performed the second
Rak'a in the same way as he had done the first. By the
time he had finished his prayer with Taslim, the solar
eclipse had been over. Then he addressed the people
referring to the solar and lunar eclipses saying, "These
are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah, and they do not
eclipse because of anyone's death or life. So, if you see
them, hasten for the Prayer."

Narrated Ata:
'Aisha said If the Prophet saw a cloud In the sky, he
would walk to and fro in agitation, go out and come in,
and the color of his face would change, and if it rained,
he would feel relaxed." So 'Aisha knew that state of his.
So the Prophet said, I don't know (am afraid), it may be
similar to what happened to some people referred to in the
Holy Quran in the following Verse: -- "Then when they saw
it as a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they
said, 'This is a cloud bringing us rain!' Nay, but, it is
that (torment) which you were asking to be hastened a wind
wherein is severe torment." (46.24)
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 429:
Narrated Malik bin Sasaa:
The Prophet said, "While I was at the House in a state
midway between sleep and wakefulness, (an angel recognized
me) as the man lying between two men. A golden tray full
of wisdom and belief was brought to me and my body was cut
open from the throat to the lower part of the abdomen and
then my abdomen was washed with Zam-zam water and (my
heart was) filled with wisdom and belief. Al-Buraq, a
white animal, smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey
was brought to me and I set out with Gabriel. When I
reached the nearest heaven. Gabriel said to the heaven
gate-keeper, 'Open the gate.' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who
is it?' He said, 'Gabriel.' The gate-keeper,' Who is
accompanying you?' Gabriel said, 'Muhammad.' The
gate-keeper said, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel said,
'Yes.' Then it was said, 'He is welcomed. What a wonderful
visit his is!' Then I met Adam and greeted him and he
said, 'You are welcomed O son and a Prophet.' Then we
ascended to the second heaven. It was asked, 'Who is it?'
Gabriel said, 'Gabriel.' It was said, 'Who is with you?'
He said, 'Muhammad' It was asked, 'Has he been sent for?'
He said, 'Yes.' It was said, 'He is welcomed. What a
wonderful visit his is!" Then I met Jesus and Yahya (John)
who said, 'You are welcomed, O brother and a Prophet.'
Then we ascended to the third heaven. It was asked, 'Who
is it?' Gabriel said, 'Gabriel.' It was asked, 'Who is
with you? Gabriel said, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has he
been sent for?' 'Yes,' said Gabriel. 'He is welcomed. What
a wonderful visit his is!' (The Prophet added:). There I
met Joseph and greeted him, and he replied, 'You are
welcomed, O brother and a Prophet!' Then we ascended to
the 4th heaven and again the same questions and answers
were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met
Idris and greeted him. He said, 'You are welcomed O
brother and Prophet.' Then we ascended to the 5th heaven
and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as
in previous heavens. there I met and greeted Aaron who
said, 'You are welcomed O brother and a Prophet". Then we
ascended to the 6th heaven and again the same questions
and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens.
There I met and greeted Moses who said, 'You are welcomed
O brother and. a Prophet.' When I proceeded on, he started
weeping and on being asked why he was weeping, he said, 'O
Lord! Followers of this youth who was sent after me will
enter Paradise in greater number than my followers.' Then
we ascended to the seventh heaven and again the same
questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous
heavens. There I met and greeted Abraham who said, 'You
are welcomed o son and a Prophet.' Then I was shown
Al-Bait-al-Ma'mur (i.e. Allah's House). I asked Gabriel
about it and he said, This is Al Bait-ul-Ma'mur where
70,000 angels perform prayers daily and when they leave
they never return to it (but always a fresh batch comes
into it daily).' Then I was shown Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e.
a tree in the seventh heaven) and I saw its Nabk fruits
which resembled the clay jugs of Hajr (i.e. a town in
Arabia), and its leaves were like the ears of elephants,
and four rivers originated at its root, two of them were
apparent and two were hidden. I asked Gabriel about those
rivers and he said, 'The two hidden rivers are in
Paradise, and the apparent ones are the Nile and the
Euphrates.' Then fifty prayers were enjoined on me. I
descended till I met Moses who asked me, 'What have you
done?' I said, 'Fifty prayers have been enjoined on me.'
He said, 'I know the people better than you, because I had
the hardest experience to bring Bani Israel to obedience.
Your followers cannot put up with such obligation. So,
return to your Lord and request Him (to reduce the number
of prayers.' I returned and requested Allah (for
reduction) and He made it forty. I returned and (met
Moses) and had a similar discussion, and then returned
again to Allah for reduction and He made it thirty, then
twenty, then ten, and then I came to Moses who repeated
the same advice. Ultimately Allah reduced it to five. When
I came to Moses again, he said, 'What have you done?' I
said, 'Allah has made it five only.' He repeated the same
advice but I said that I surrendered (to Allah's Final
Order)'" Allah's Apostle was addressed by Allah, "I have
decreed My Obligation and have reduced the burden on My
slaves, and I shall reward a single good deed as if it
were ten good deeds."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 430:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mus'ud:
Allah's Apostle, the true and truly inspired said,
"(The matter of the Creation of) a human being is put
together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then
he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and
then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah
sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is
ordered to write down his (i.e. the new creature's) deeds,
his livelihood, his (date of) death, and whether he will
be blessed or wretched (in religion). Then the soul is
breathed into him. So, a man amongst you may do (good
deeds till there is only a cubit between him and Paradise
and then what has been written for him decides his
behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds characteristic
of the people of the (Hell) Fire. And similarly a man
amongst you may do (evil) deeds till there is only a cubit
between him and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been
written for him decides his behavior, and he starts doing
deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise."

so-and-so, therefore you should love him also,' and so all
the inhabitants of the Heaven would love him, and then he
is granted the pleasure of the people on the earth."

you over-night, ascent unto Allah Who asks them, and He
knows the answer better than they, "How have you left My
slaves?" They reply, "We have left them praying as we
found them praying." If anyone of you says "Amin" (during
the Prayer at the end of the recitation of
Surat-al-Faitiha), and the angels in Heaven say the same,
and the two sayings coincide, all his past sins will be
forgiven."

Apostle! What is wrong?" He said, "What is this pillow?" I
said, "I have prepared this pillow for you, so that you
may recline on it." He said, "Don't you know that angels

when I presented myself to Ibn 'Abd-Yalail bin 'Abd-Kulal
and he did not respond to my demand. So I departed,
overwhelmed with excessive sorrow, and proceeded on, and
could not relax till I found myself at Qarnath-Tha-alib
where I lifted my head towards the sky to see a cloud
shading me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw Gabriel in
it. He called me saying, 'Allah has heard your people's
saying to you, and what they have replied back to you,
Allah has sent the Angel of the Mountains to you so that
you may order him to do whatever you wish to these
people.' The Angel of the Mountains called and greeted me,
and then said, "O Muhammad! Order what you wish. If you

a chair in between the sky and the earth. I was so
frightened by him that I fell on the ground and came to my

one by my head and the other by my feet. One of them asked
the other, "What is the ailment of this man?" The other
replied, 'He has been bewitched" The first asked, 'Who has
bewitched him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid bin Al-A'sam.'
The first one asked, 'What material has he used?' The
other replied, 'A comb, the hair gathered on it, and the
outer skin of the pollen of the male date-palm.' The first
asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied, 'It is in the
well of Dharwan.' " So, the Prophet went out towards the
well and then returned and said to me on his return, "Its
date-palms (the date-palms near the well) are like the
heads of the devils." I asked, "Did you take out those
things with which the magic was worked?" He said, "No, for

action may spread evil amongst the people." Later on the
well was filled up with earth.

interfere between the (praying) person and his heart,
saying to him. 'Remember this or that thing.' till the
