Narrated
'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle,
the truthful and truly-inspired, said, "Each one of you collected in the
womb of his mother for forty days, and then turns into a clot for an equal
period (of forty days) and turns into a piece of flesh for a similar period (of
forty days) and then Allah sends an angel and orders him to write four things,
i.e., his provision, his age, and whether he will be of the wretched or the
blessed (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into him. And by Allah, a
person among you (or a man) may do deeds of the people of the Fire till there
is only a cubit or an arm-breadth distance between him and the Fire, but then
that writing (which Allah has ordered the angel to write) precedes, and he does
the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters it; and a man may do the deeds
of the people of Paradise till there is only a cubit or two between him and
Paradise, and then that writing precedes and he does the deeds of the people of
the Fire and enters it."
Narrated Anas bin
Malik:
The Prophet said,
"Allah puts an angel in charge of the uterus and the angel says, 'O Lord,
(it is) semen! O Lord, (it is now ) a clot! O Lord, (it is now) a piece of
flesh.' And then, if Allah wishes to complete its creation, the angel asks, 'O
Lord, (will it be) a male or a female? A wretched (an evil doer) or a blessed
(doer of good)? How much will his provisions be? What will his age be?' So all
that is written while the creature is still in the mother's womb."
Narrated Imran
bin Husain:
A man said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Can the people of Paradise be known (differentiated)
from the people of the Fire; The Prophet replied, "Yes." The man
said, "Why do people (try to) do (good) deeds?" The Prophet said,
"Everyone will do the deeds for which he has been created to do or he will
do those deeds which will be made easy for him to do." (i.e. everybody
will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for
which he has been created).
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
The Prophet ; was
asked about the offspring of the pagans. He said, "Allah knows what they
would have done (were they to live)."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
was asked about the offspring of the pagans. He said, "Allah knows what
they would have done (were they to live)."
Narrated Abu
Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "No child is born but has the Islamic
Faith, but its parents turn it into a Jew or a Christian. It is as you help the
animals give birth. Do you find among their offspring a mutilated one before
you mutilate them yourself?" The people said, "O Allah's Apostle!
What do you think about those (of them) who die young?" The Prophet said,
"Allah knows what they would have done (were they to live)."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "No woman should ask for the divorce of her sister (Muslim) so as to
take her place, but she should marry the man (without compelling him to divorce
his other wife), for she will have nothing but what Allah has written for her."
Narrated Usama:
Once while I was
with the Prophet and Sa'd, Ubai bin Ka'b and Mu'adh were also sitting with him,
there came to him a messenger from one of his daughters, telling him that her
child was on the verge of death. The Prophet told the messenger to tell her,
"It is for Allah what He takes, and it is for Allah what He gives, and
everything has its fixed time (limit). So (she should) be patient and look for
Allah's reward."
Narrated Abu Said
Al-Khudri:
That while he was
sitting with the Prophet a man from the Ansar came and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! We get slave girls from the war captives and we love property; what do
you think about coitus interruptus?" Allah's Apostle said, "Do you do
that? It is better for you not to do it, for there is no soul which Allah has
ordained to come into existence but will be created."
Narrated
Hudhaifa:
The Prophet once
delivered a speech in front of us wherein he left nothing but mentioned (about)
everything that would happen till the Hour. Some of us stored that our minds
and some forgot it. (After that speech) I used to see events taking place
(which had been referred to in that speech) but I had forgotten them (before
their occurrence). Then I would recognize such events as a man recognizes
another man who has been absent and then sees and recognizes him.
Narrated 'Ali:
While we were
sitting with the Prophet who had a stick with which he was scraping the earth,
he lowered his head and said, "There is none of you but has his place
assigned either in the Fire or in Paradise." Thereupon a man from the
people said, "Shall we not depend upon this, O Allah's Apostle?" The
Prophet said, "No, but carry on and do your deeds, for everybody finds it
easy to do such deeds (as will lead him to his place)." The Prophet then
recited the Verse: 'As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to
Allah..' (92.5)
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
We witnessed
along with Allah's Apostle the Khaibar (campaign). Allah's Apostle told his
companions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, "This man is from the
people of the Fire." When the battle started, the man fought very bravely
and received a great number of wounds and got crippled. On that, a man from
among the companions of the Prophet came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do
you know what the man you described as of the people of the Fire has done? He
has fought very bravely for Allah's Cause and he has received many
wounds." The Prophet said, "But he is indeed one of the people of the
Fire." Some of the Muslims were about to have some doubt about that
statement. So while the man was in that state, the pain caused by the wounds
troubled him so much that he put his hand into his quiver and took out an arrow
and committed suicide with it. Off went some men from among the Muslims to
Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allah has made your
statement true. So-and-so has committed suicide." Allah's Apostle said,
"O Bilal! Get up and announce in public: None will enter Paradise but a
believer, and Allah may support this religion (Islam) with a wicked man."
Narrated Sahl bin
Sa'd:
There was a man
who fought most bravely of all the Muslims on behalf of the Muslims in a battle
(Ghazwa) in the company of the Prophet. The Prophet looked at him and said.
"If anyone would like to see a man from the people of the Fire, let him
look at this (brave man)." On that, a man from the People (Muslims)
followed him, and he was in that state i.e., fighting fiercely against the
pagans till he was wounded, and then he hastened to end his life by placing his
sword between his breasts (and pressed it with great force) till it came out
between his shoulders. Then the man (who was watching that person) went quickly
to the Prophet and said, "I testify that you are Allah's Apostle!"
The Prophet asked him, "Why do you say that?" He said, "You said
about so-and-so, 'If anyone would like to see a man from the people of the
Fire, he should look at him.' He fought most bravely of all of us on behalf of
the Muslims and I knew that he would not die as a Muslim (Martyr). So when he
got wounded, he hastened to die and committed suicide." There-upon the
Prophet said, "A man may do the deeds of the people of the Fire while in
fact he is one of the people of Paradise, and he may do the deeds of the people
of Paradise while in fact he belongs to the people of Fire, and verily, (the rewards
of) the deeds are decided by the last actions (deeds)".
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
The Prophet
forbade vowing and said, "In fact, vowing does not prevent anything, but
it makes a miser to spend his property."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
The Prophet said
(that Allah said), "Vowing does not bring to the son of Adam anything I
have not already written in his fate, but vowing is imposed on him by way of
fore ordainment. Through vowing I make a miser spend of his wealth."
Narrated Abu
Musa:
While we were
with Allah's Apostle in a holy battle, we never went up a hill or reached its
peak or went down a valley but raised our voices with Takbir. Allah's Apostle
came close to us and said, "O people! Don't exert yourselves, for you do
not call a deaf or an absent one, but you call the All-Listener, the
All-Seer." The Prophet then said, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I
teach you a sentence which is from the treasures of Paradise? ( It is): 'La
haula wala quwata illa billah. (There is neither might nor power except with
Allah)."
Narrated Abu Said
Al-Khudri:
That the Prophet
said, "No Caliph is appointed but has two groups of advisors: One group
advises him to do good and urges him to adopt it, and the other group advises
him to do bad and urges him to adopt it; and the protected is the one whom
Allah protects."
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
I did not see anything
so resembling minor sins as what Abu Huraira said from the Prophet, who said,
"Allah has written for the son of Adam his inevitable share of adultery
whether he is aware of it or not: The adultery of the eye is the looking (at
something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the tongue is to
utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the innerself wishes and longs for
(adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from
submitting to the temptation."
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
(regarding the
Verse) "And We granted the vision (Ascension to the heavens
"Miraj") which We showed you (O Muhammad as an actual eye witness)
but as a trial for mankind.' (17.60): Allah's Apostle actually saw with his own
eyes the vision (all the things which were shown to him) on the night of his
Night Journey to Jerusalem (and then to the heavens). The cursed tree which is
mentioned in the Qur'an is the tree of Az-Zaqqum.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You
are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Adam
said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly)
and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action
which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam
confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet added, repeating the
Statement three times.
Narrated Warrad:
(the freed slave
of Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba) Muawiya wrote to Mughira. 'Write to me what you heard
the Prophet saying after his prayer.' So Al-Mughira dictated to me and said,
"I heard the Prophet saying after the prayer, 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah Alone Who has no partner. O Allah! No-one can withhold
what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and the fortune of a man of
means is useless before You (i.e., only good deeds are of value)."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"Take refuge with Allah from the difficulties of severe calamities, from
having an evil end and a bad fate and from the malicious joy of your
enemies."
Narrated
'Abdullah:
When taking an
oath, the Prophet very often used to say, "No, by Him Who turns the
hearts."
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
The Prophet said
to Ibn Saiyad, "I have kept for you a secret." Ibn Saiyad said,
"Ad-Dukh." The Prophet said, "Keep quiet, for you cannot go
beyond your limits (or you cannot exceed what has been foreordained for
you)." On that, 'Umar said (to the Prophet ), "Allow me to chop off
his neck!" The Prophet said, "Leave him, for if he is he (i.e.,
Ad-Dajjal), then you will not be able to overcome him, and if he is not, then
you gain no good by killing him."
Narrated 'Aisha:
I asked Allah's
Apostle about the plague. He said, "That was a means of torture which
Allah used to send upon whom-so-ever He wished, but He made it a source of
mercy for the believers, for anyone who is residing in a town in which this
disease is present, and remains there and does not leave that town, but has
patience and hopes for Allah's reward, and knows that nothing will befall him
except what Allah has written for him, then he will get such reward as that of
a martyr."
Narrated Al-Bara'
bin 'Azib:
I saw the Prophet
on the Day of (the battle of) Al-Khandaq, carrying earth with us and saying,
"By Allah, without Allah we would not have been guided, neither would we
have fasted, nor would we have prayed. O Allah! Send down Sakina (calmness)
upon us and make our feet firm when we meet (the enemy). The pagans have
rebelled against us, but if they want to put us in affliction (i.e., fight us)
we refuse (to flee)." (See Hadith No. 430, Vol. 5).
