Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The thing I am afraid of most for your sake, is the worldly blessings whichAllah will bring forth to you." It was said, "What are the blessings of this world?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said,"The pleasures of the world." A man said, "Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet fora while till we thought that he was being inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat fromhis forehead and said," Where is the questioner?" That man said, "I (am present)." Abu Sa`id added:We thanked the man when the result (of his question) was such. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Good never bringsforth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit), and all the vegetationwhich grows on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of it,except the animal that eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach isfull and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and goes toeat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal wayand spends it properly, then it is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he will belike the one who eats but is never satisfied."

Narrated Zahdam bin Mudarrib: `Imran bin Husain said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best people are my contemporaries (i.e., the present(my) generation) and then those who come after them (i.e., the next generation)." `Imran added: I amnot sure whether the Prophet (ﷺ) repeated the statement twice after his first saying. The Prophet (ﷺ) added,"And after them there will come people who will bear witness, though they will not be asked to givetheir witness; and they will be treacherous and nobody will trust them, and they will make vows, butwill not fulfill them, and fatness will appear among them."

So I walked in the shade, awayfrom the moonlight, but the Prophet (ﷺ) looked behind and saw me and said, "Who is that?" I replied,"Abu Dhar, let Allah get me sacrificed for you!" He said, "O Abu Dhar, come here!" So Iaccompanied him for a while and then he said, "The rich are in fact the poor (little rewarded) on theDay of Resurrection except him whom Allah gives wealth which he gives (in charity) to his right, left,front and back, and does good deeds with it. I walked with him a little longer. Then he said to me, "Sitdown here." So he made me sit in an open space surrounded by rocks, and said to me, "Sit here till Icome back to you." He went towards Al-Harra till I could not see him, and he stayed away for a longperiod, and then I heard him saying, while he was coming, "Even if he had committed theft, and evenif he had committed illegal sexual intercourse?" When he came, I could not remain patient and askedhim, "O Allah's Prophet! Let Allah get me sacrificed for you! Whom were you speaking to by the sideof Al-Harra? I did not hear anybody responding to your talk." He said, "It was Gabriel who appearedto me beside Al-Harra and said, 'Give the good news to your followers that whoever dies withouthaving worshipped anything besides Allah, will enter Paradise.' I said, 'O Gabriel! Even if he hadcommitted theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Even if he hascommitted theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Even if he hascommitted theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse?' He said, 'Yes.' "

Narrated Abu Dhar: While I was walking with the Prophet (ﷺ) in the Harra of Medina, Uhud came in sight. The Prophet (ﷺ) said,"O Abu Dhar!" I said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "I would not like to have gold equal tothis mountain of Uhud, unless nothing of it, not even a single Dinar of it remains with me for morethan three days, except something which I will keep for repaying debts. I would have spent all of it(distributed it) amongst Allah's Slaves like this, and like this, and like this." The Prophet (ﷺ) pointed outwith his hand towards his right, his left and his back (while illustrating it). He proceeded with his walkand said, "The rich are in fact the poor (little rewarded) on the Day of Resurrection except those whospend their wealth like this, and like this, and like this, to their right, left and back, but such people arefew in number." Then he said to me, "Stay at your place and do not leave it till I come back." Then heproceeded in the darkness of the night till he went out of sight, and then I heard a loud voice, and wasafraid that something might have happened to the Prophet (ﷺ) .1 intended to go to him, but I rememberedwhat he had said to me, i.e. 'Don't leave your place till I come back to you,' so I remained at my placetill he came back to me. I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I heard a voice and I was afraid." So I mentionedthe whole story to him. He said, "Did you hear it?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "It was Gabriel whocame to me and said, 'Whoever died without joining others in worship with Allah, will enter Paradise.'I asked (Gabriel), 'Even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse? Gabrielsaid, 'Yes, even if he had committed theft or committed illegal sexual intercourse."

Some of us died without having received anything of thewages, and one of them was Mus`ab bin `Umar, who was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud,leaving only one sheet (to shroud him in). If we covered his head with it, his feet became uncovered,and if we covered his feet with it, his head became uncovered. So the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to cover hishead with it and put some Idhkhir (a kind of grass) over his feet. On the other hand, some of us havehad the fruits (of our good deed) and are plucking them (in this world).

Narrated Abu Huraira: By Allah except Whom none has the right to- be worshipped, (sometimes) I used to lay (sleep) on theground on my liver (abdomen) because of hunger, and (sometimes) I used to bind a stone over mybelly because of hunger. One day I sat by the way from where they (the Prophet (ﷺ) and his companions)used to come out. When Abu Bakr passed by, I asked him about a Verse from Allah's Book and Iasked him only that he might satisfy my hunger, but he passed by and did not do so. Then `Umarpassed by me and I asked him about a Verse from Allah's Book, and I asked him only that he mightsatisfy my hunger, but he passed by without doing so. Finally Abu-l-Qasim (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) passed byme and he smiled when he saw me, for he knew what was in my heart and on my face. He said, "OAba Hirr (Abu Huraira)!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said to me, "Follow me." He leftand I followed him.Then he entered the house and I asked permission to enter and was admitted. He found milk in a bowland said, "From where is this milk?" They said, "It has been presented to you by such-and-such man(or by such and such woman)." He said, "O Aba Hirr!" I said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said,"Go and call the people of Suffa to me." These people of Suffa were the guests of Islam who had nofamilies, nor money, nor anybody to depend upon, and whenever an object of charity was brought tothe Prophet, he would send it to them and would not take anything from it, and whenever any presentwas given to him, he used to send some for them and take some of it for himself. The order of theProphet upset me, and I said to myself, "How will this little milk be enough for the people of As-Suffa? though I was more entitled to drink from that milk in order to strengthen myself", but behold!The Prophet (ﷺ) came to order me to give that milk to them. I wondered what will remain of that milk forme, but anyway, I could not but obey Allah and His Apostle so I went to the people of As-Suffa andcalled them, and they came and asked the Prophet's permission to enter. They were admitted and tooktheir seats in the house.The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Aba-Hirr!" I said, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "Take it and give it tothem." So I took the bowl (of milk) and started giving it to one man who would drink his fill andreturn it to me, whereupon I would give it to another man who, in his turn, would drink his fill andreturn it to me, and I would then offer it to another man who would drink his fill and return it to me.Finally, after the whole group had drunk their fill, I reached the Prophet (ﷺ) who took the bowl and put iton his hand, looked at me and smiled and said. "O Aba Hirr!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!"He said, "There remain you and I." I said, "You have said the truth, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "Sitdown and drink." I sat down and drank. He said, "Drink," and I drank. He kept on telling merepeatedly to drink, till I said, "No. by Allah Who sent you with the Truth, I have no space for it (inmy stomach)." He said, "Hand it over to me." When I gave him the bowl, he praised Allah andpronounced Allah's Name on it and drank the remaining milk.

Narrated Sa`d: I was the first man among the Arabs to throw an arrow for Allah's Cause. We used to fight in Allah'sCause while we had nothing to eat except the leaves of the Hubla and the Sumur trees (desert trees) sothat we discharged excrement like that of sheep (i.e. unmixed droppings). Today the (people of the)tribe of Bani Asad teach me the laws of Islam. If so, then I am lost, and all my efforts of that hard timehad gone in vain.

Narrated Sa`d bin Sahl As-Sa`idi: The Prophet (ﷺ) looked at a man fighting against the pagans and he was one of the most competentpersons fighting on behalf of the Muslims. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let him who wants to look at a manfrom the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire, look at this (man)." Another man followed him and kept onfollowing him till he (the fighter) was injured and, seeking to die quickly, he placed the blade tip ofhis sword between his breasts and leaned over it till it passed through his shoulders (i.e., committedsuicide)." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "A person may do deeds that seem to the people as the deeds of thepeople of Paradise while in fact, he is from the dwellers of the (Hell) Fire: and similarly a person maydo deeds that seem to the people as the deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire while in fact, he is fromthe dwellers of Paradise.

Narrated Hudhaifa: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) narrated to us two narrations, one of which I have seen (happening) and I am waitingfor the other. He narrated that honesty was preserved in the roots of the hearts of men (in thebeginning) and then they learnt it (honesty) from the Qur'an, and then they learnt it from the(Prophet's) Sunna (tradition). He also told us about its disappearance, saying, "A man will go to sleepwhereupon honesty will be taken away from his heart, and only its trace will remain, resembling thetraces of fire. He then will sleep whereupon the remainder of the honesty will also be taken away(from his heart) and its trace will resemble a blister which is raised over the surface of skin, when anember touches one's foot; and in fact, this blister does not contain anything. So there will come a daywhen people will deal in business with each other but there will hardly be any trustworthy personsamong them. Then it will be said that in such-and-such a tribe there is such-and-such person who ishonest, and a man will be admired for his intelligence, good manners and strength, though indeed hewill not have belief equal to a mustard seed in his heart." The narrator added: There came upon me atime when I did not mind dealing with anyone of you, for if he was a Muslim, his religion wouldprevent him from cheating; and if he was a Christian, his Muslim ruler would prevent him fromcheating; but today I cannot deal except with so-and-so and so-and-so.

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ تَكُونُ الأَرْضُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ خُبْزَةً وَاحِدَةً، يَتَكَفَّؤُهَا الْجَبَّارُ بِيَدِهِ، كَمَا يَكْفَأُ أَحَدُكُمْ خُبْزَتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ، نُزُلاً لأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ بَارَكَ الرَّحْمَنُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ، أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكَ بِنُزُلِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ بَلَى ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ تَكُونُ الأَرْضُ خُبْزَةً وَاحِدَةً كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَيْنَا، ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلاَ أُخْبِرُكَ بِإِدَامِهِمْ قَالَ إِدَامُهُمْ بَالاَمٌ وَنُونٌ‏.‏ قَالُوا وَمَا هَذَا قَالَ ثَوْرٌ وَنُونٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ زَائِدَةِ كَبِدِهِمَا سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا‏.‏

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The (planet of) earth will be a bread on the Day of Resurrection, and The resistible(Allah) will topple turn it with His Hand like anyone of you topple turns a bread with his hands while(preparing the bread) for a journey, and that bread will be the entertainment for the people ofParadise." A man from the Jews came (to the Prophet) and said, "May The Beneficent (Allah) blessyou, O Abul Qasim! Shall I tell you of the entertainment of the people of Paradise on the Day ofResurrection?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes." The Jew said, "The earth will be a bread," as the Prophet (ﷺ) hadsaid. Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) looked at us and smiled till his premolar tooth became visible. Then theJew further said, "Shall I tell you of the udm (additional food taken with bread) they will have withthe bread?" He added, "That will be Balam and Nun." The people asked, "What is that?" He said, "Itis an ox and a fish, and seventy thousand people will eat of the caudate lobe (i.e. extra lobe) of theirlivers."

Adam will say, 'What (how many)are the people of the Fire?' Allah will say, 'Out of every thousand (take out) nine hundred and ninety-nine(persons).' At that time children will become hoary-headed and every pregnant female will dropher load (have an abortion) and you will see the people as if they were drunk, yet not drunk; ButAllah's punishment will be very severe."That news distressed the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) too much, and they said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!Who amongst us will be that man (the lucky one out of one-thousand who will be saved from theFire)?" He said, "Have the good news that one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog, and the one (tobe saved will be) from you." The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I Hope thatyou (Muslims) will be one third of the people of Paradise." On that, we glorified and praised Allahand said, "Allahu Akbar." The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I hope that youwill be one half of the people of Paradise, as your (Muslims) example in comparison to the otherpeople (non-Muslims), is like that of a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a round hairless spot onthe foreleg of a donkey."

Narrated Anas: Um (the mother of) Haritha came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) after Haritha had been martyred on the Day (ofthe battle) of Badr by an arrow thrown by an unknown person. She said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Youknow the position of Haritha in my heart (i.e. how dear to me he was), so if he is in Paradise, I will notweep for him, or otherwise, you will see what I will do." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Are you mad? Is thereonly one Paradise? There are many Paradises, and he is in the highest Paradise of Firdaus." TheProphet added, "A forenoon journey or an after noon journey in Allah's Cause is better than the wholeworld and whatever is in it; and a place equal to an arrow bow of anyone of you, or a place equal to afoot in Paradise is better than the whole world and whatever is in it; and if one of the women ofParadise looked at the earth, she would fill the whole space between them (the earth and the heaven)with light, and would fill whatever is in between them, with perfume, and the veil of her face is betterthan the whole world and whatever is in it."

He will be a man who will come out of the (Hell) Fire crawling, and Allah will say tohim, 'Go and enter Paradise.' He will go to it, but he will imagine that it had been filled, and then hewill return and say, 'O Lord, I have found it full.' Allah will say, 'Go and enter Paradise, and you willhave what equals the world and ten times as much (or, you will have as much as ten times the like ofthe world).' On that, the man will say, 'Do you mock at me (or laugh at me) though You are theKing?" I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (while saying that) smiling that his premolar teeth became visible. It issaid that will be the lowest in degree amongst the people of Paradise.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Some people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said,"Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the sun when it is not hidden by clouds?" Theyreplied, "No, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at themoon when it is full and not hidden by clouds?" They replied, No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "Soyou will see Him (your Lord) on the Day of Resurrection similarly Allah will gather all the people andsay, 'Whoever used to worship anything should follow that thing. 'So, he who used to worship the sun,will follow it, and he who used to worship the moon will follow it, and he who used to worship falsedeities will follow them; and then only this nation (i.e., Muslims) will remain, including theirhypocrites. Allah will come to them in a shape other than they know and will say, 'I am your Lord.'They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place; (we will not follow you) tillour Lord comes to us, and when our Lord comes to us, we will recognize Him.Then Allah will come to then in a shape they know and will say, "I am your Lord.' They will say, '(Nodoubt) You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him. Then a bridge will be laid over the (Hell) Fire."Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) added, "I will be the first to cross it. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day,will be 'Allahumma Sallim, Sallim (O Allah, save us, save us!),' and over that bridge there will behooks Similar to the thorns of As Sa'dan (a thorny tree). Didn't you see the thorns of As-Sa'dan?" Thecompanions said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He added, "So the hooks over that bridge will be like thethorns of As-Sa-dan except that their greatness in size is only known to Allah. These hooks will snatchthe people according to their deeds. Some people will be ruined because of their evil deeds, and somewill be cut into pieces and fall down in Hell, but will be saved afterwards, when Allah has finished thejudgments among His slaves, and intends to take out of the Fire whoever He wishes to take out fromamong those who used to testify that none had the right to be worshipped but Allah.We will order the angels to take them out and the angels will know them by the mark of the traces ofprostration (on their foreheads) for Allah banned the f ire to consume the traces of prostration on thebody of Adam's son. So they will take them out, and by then they would have burnt (as coal), and thenwater, called Ma'ul Hayat (water of life) will be poured on them, and they will spring out like a seedsprings out on the bank of a rainwater stream, and there will remain one man who will be facing the(Hell) Fire and will say, 'O Lord! It's (Hell's) vapor has Poisoned and smoked me and its flame hasburnt me; please turn my face away from the Fire.' He will keep on invoking Allah till Allah says,'Perhaps, if I give you what you want), you will ask for another thing?' The man will say, 'No, by YourPower, I will not ask You for anything else.'Then Allah will turn his face away from the Fire. The man will say after that, 'O Lord, bring me nearthe gate of Paradise.' Allah will say (to him), 'Didn't you promise not to ask for anything else? Woe toyou, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' The man will keep on invoking Allah till Allah willsay, 'But if I give you that, you may ask me for something else.' The man will say, 'No, by YourPower. I will not ask for anything else.' He will give Allah his covenant and promise not to ask foranything else after that. So Allah will bring him near to the gate of Paradise, and when he sees what isin it, he will remain silent as long as Allah will, and then he will say, 'O Lord! Let me enter Paradise.'Allah will say, 'Didn't you promise that you would not ask Me for anything other than that? Woe toyou, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' On that, the man will say, 'O Lord! Do not make methe most wretched of Your creation,' and will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will smile and whenAllah will smile because of him, then He will allow him to enter Paradise, and when he will enterParadise, he will be addressed, 'Wish from so-and-so.' He will wish till all his wishes will be fulfilled,then Allah will say, All this (i.e. what you have wished for) and as much again therewith are for you.'"Abu Huraira added: That man will be the last of the people of Paradise to enter (Paradise).

Narrated Asma 'bint Abu Bakr: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I will be standing at the Lake-Fount so that I will see whom among you will cometo me; and some people will be taken away from me, and I will say, 'O Lord, (they are) from me andfrom my followers.' Then it will be said, 'Did you notice what they did after you? By Allah, they kepton turning on their heels (turned as renegades).' " The sub-narrator, Ibn Abi Mulaika said, "O Allah,we seek refuge with You from turning on our heels, or being put to trial in our religion."
