"I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the market of Paradise." So Sa'eed said: "Is there a market in it?" He said: "Yes, the messenger of Allah ﷺ informed me that: 'When the people of Paradise enter it, they shall take their places according to the virtue of their deeds. Then permission shall be granted to them to visit their Lord, for the length of a Friday from the days of the world. He shall present for them His Throne and He shall manifest the gardens of Paradise. Then lofty seats of light shall be erected for them, and lofty saets of pearl, and lofty seats or corundum, and lofty seats of peridots, and lofty seats of gold, and lofty seats of silver. And the lowest of them- and there is none of them that is low- shall sit upon a dune of musk and camphor, and they shall not regard those upon the chairs as having a better sitting place than them.' Abu Hurairah said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, and will we see our Lord?' He ﷺ said: 'Yes.[He said: ] Do you doubt [concerning] seeing the sun, or the moon on a night when it is full?' We said: 'No.' He said: 'Likewise, you will not doubt concerning seeing your Lord. And they shall not remain in that meeting any man except Allah shall give him a lecture until he says to a man from among them: "O so-and – so son of so - and – so, do you remember the day when you said such-and-such.” And He will remind him of some of his betrayals in the world, so he will say: “O my Lord, did you not forgive me?” So He will say: “Indeed! It is by the vastness of My Forgiveness that you reached this station of yours.” So while they are engaged in this they shall be covered by a cloud that shall rain upon them a perfume, the like of whose smell they have not smelled, ever. And our Lord [Blessed and Exalted is He] shall say: “Arise to what I have prepared for you of generosity, and take whatever you desire.” Then, we will come to a market which the angels will have already surrounded. [In it] shall be what no eyes have seen the like of, nor ears have heard of, nor ever has it occurred in the hearts (of men). And there shall be carried to us whatever we desire. There shall be not be anything sold or bought in this market, and, in that market, the people of Paradise shall meet one another.' He said: 'So the person of high rank shall come and meet the one below him in rank- and there is none among them that is low- so he shall be impressed by the clothes he sees on him, their discussion shall not come to an end until he shall imagine upon himself what is more beautiful than it, and that is because it is not fitting for anyone to feel regret therein. Then we will return to our places and our wives shall meet us saying: “Welcome and greetings, you have come, and you have beauty greater than what you parted us with.” So we will say: “Indeed we sat today with our Lord, the Powerful, and it is fitting that we should return with what we have returned with.'” (Da'if)

“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me that when the people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.” Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’” “He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’”

[Machine] Abu Dharr was on his deathbed while wearing a simple garment. His wife cried, and he asked her why she was crying. She said, "I cry because I have no life without you, and I have no shroud that will fit you as a burial cloth." He comforted her, saying, "Do not cry, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say one day when I was with him, 'A man will die among you with just a piece of land as his witness, accompanied by a group of believers.' He continued, 'Everyone who was with me in that gathering has passed away, divided into different groups, and I am the only one left. I am going to die in this piece of land. Watch the road, for you will witness what I say. I swear by Allah, I have not lied or will ever lie.' She asked, 'How is that possible when the journey has been cut off?' He said, 'Watch the road.' While they were talking, a group of people approached, dragging their garments behind them as if they were flags. They asked, 'What is wrong with you?' She replied, 'There is a Muslim man who needs to be shrouded and buried, and whoever does so will be rewarded.' They asked, 'Who is he?' She said, 'Abu Dharr.' They paid the ransom with their fathers and mothers and put their belts on her back so she could find them. Abu Dharr said, 'Rejoice, for you are the people that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke about. Rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'No two Muslim women lose two of their children or three and then seek reward and patience, except they will never see Hell.' Today, I have reached the place where you can see, and if I had a garment that would fit me, I would not be shrouded but in that. I swear by Allah, let no man among you shroud me, whether he be a prince, a servant, or a soldier.' No one in the gathering received anything except a young man from the Ansar who was with the group. He said, 'I am your companion. I have two garments from my mother's dowry spin and I have these two garments on me.' Abu Dharr said, 'You are my companion. Shroud me with them.'"

[Machine] I said, "I have never seen anything that afflicted the Quraysh as much as the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , in terms of the enmity they showed towards him." He replied, "I was there when their nobles gathered in the Hijr and they mentioned the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . They said, 'We have never seen anyone like this man who has tested our patience. He has mocked our dreams, insulted our fathers, criticized our religion, divided our community, and cursed our idols. We have endured great hardships because of him, or so they claim.' As they were talking, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , appeared and started walking until he reached the corner of the Kaaba. He passed by them and they made mocking gestures and whispered some remarks. I could see that on his face. Then he continued and when he passed by them for the second time, they made the same gestures and I noticed it on his face. Peace be upon him. Then he passed by them for the third time and they made the same gestures. Then he said, 'O people of Quraysh, do you hear me? By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, I have come to you for slaughtering.' His words silenced them, and every one of them looked as if a bird had struck their heads. Even the harshest of them trembled in his presence and answered him with the best of manners. Finally, he said, 'Go on, O Abu al-Qasim, go on with your business. By Allah, you are not ignorant.' So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , continued until the next morning. When they gathered in the Hijr and I was with them, some of them said to others, 'Do you remember what he told us and what we told him about their criticism of their gods and their religion?' He replied, 'Yes, I am the one who said that.' Then I saw one of them grabbing his garment and saying, while Abu Bakr al-Siddiq was standing beside him, crying, 'Do you kill a man just because he says his Lord is Allah?' Then they turned away from him. That was the most severe thing I have ever seen the Quraysh do to him."

“I supplicate Allah to bring you and I together in the marketplace of Paradise,” Sa’eed said: “Is there a marketplace there?” He said: “Yes. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ told me that when the people of Paradise enter it, they will take their places according to their deeds, and they will be given permission for a length of time equivalent to Friday on earth, when they will visit Allah. His Throne will be shown to them and He will appear to them in one of the gardens of Paradise. Chairs of light and chairs of pearls and chairs of rubies and chairs of chrysolite and chairs of gold and chairs of silver will be placed for them. Those who are of a lower status than them, and none of them will be regarded as insignificant, will sit on sandhills of musk and camphor, and they will not feel that those who are sitting on chairs are seated better than them.” Abu Hurairah said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord?’ He said: ‘Yes. Do you dispute that you see the sun and the moon on the night when it is full?’ We said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Likewise, you will not dispute that you see your Lord, the Glorified. There will be no one left in that gathering with whom Allah does not speak face to face, until He will say to a man among you: “Do you not remember, O so-and-so, the day you did such and such?” And He will remind him of some of his sins in this world. He will say: “O Lord, have You not forgiven me?” He will say: “Yes, it is by the vastness of My forgiveness that You have reached the position you are in.” While they are like that, a cloud will cover them from above and will rain down on them perfume the like of whose fragrance they have never smelled before. Then He will say: “Get up and go to the honor that has been prepared for you, and take whatever you desire.” So we will go to a marketplace surrounded by the angels, in which there will be such things as eyes have never seen, ears have never heard and it has not entered the heart of man. Whatever we desire will be carried for us. Nothing will be bought or sold therein. In that marketplace the people of Paradise will meet one another. A man of elevated status will meet those who are of lower status than him, but none shall be regarded as insignificant, and he will be dazzled by the clothes that he sees on him. He will not finish the last of his conversation before better clothes appear on him. That is because no one should be sad there.’” “He said: ‘Then we will go back to our homes where we will be met by our wives, and they will say: ‘Welcome. You have come looking more handsome and with a better fragrance than when you left us.’ And we will say: ‘Today we sat with our Lord, the Compeller, the Glorified, and we deserve to come back as we have come back.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4336)

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ opened Makkah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ assigned Zubair ibn al-Awwam to one of the Muzaynah (two tribes) and Khalid ibn al-Walid to the other. He looked at me in Kabkaba and called me. I said, "Here I am, Messenger of Allah." He said, "Call out to me with the Ansar." So I called out to them, and they surrounded the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as if they were meeting by appointment. He said, "O Ansar, Quraysh has gathered against us. So when you meet them, attack them until you meet me at Safa, Safa is your meeting place." Abu Hurairah said, "We did not meet any of them except that we fought them. Then Abu Sufyan came and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, Quraysh has surrendered, there is no Quraysh after today.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever shuts his door, he is safe. Whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan, he is safe. Whoever lays down his weapon, he is safe. And the leaders and chiefs of Quraysh have taken refuge in the Ka'bah,' meaning they have entered it." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then came and circled the Ka'bah, and he struck those idols with the tip of his bow saying, "The truth has come and falsehood has vanished. Indeed, falsehood is ever bound to perish." (Quran 17:81) Then, when he finished and prayed, he took hold of the door handle and said, "O people of Quraysh, what do you say?" They said, "We say, the son of a brother and a cousin, a merciful and noble man." Then, he repeated this statement to them. They said the same thing. He said, "Indeed, I say what my brother Yusuf said, 'No blame will there be upon you today. May Allah forgive you, and He is the most merciful of the merciful.'" (Quran 12:92) So they pledged allegiance to him on Islam. Then, he went to Safa for the meeting with the Ansar. He stood on Safa in a place where he could see the Ka'bah, and he praised and thanked Allah, and mentioned His victory to them. Abu Hurairah said, "The elderly men began to cry until their beards were soaked with tears." Then they said, "We seek forgiveness from Allah and His Messenger, and by Allah, we said nothing except out of confidence in Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has confirmed your words and the words of His Messenger and has accepted your pledge."

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , passing through the market of Dhi al-Majaz while I was in my shop. He passed by wearing a red garment, and I heard him saying, 'O people, say there is no god but Allah, and you will succeed.' A man following him was throwing stones at him, causing his heels to bleed. The man said, 'O people, do not obey him, for he is a liar.' I asked, 'Who is this?' They said, 'He is a young boy from the Bani Abd al-Muttalib tribe.' I asked, 'Who is the one throwing stones at him?' They said, 'His uncle, Abd al-Uzza Abu Lahab bin Abd al-Muttalib.' When Allah made Islam apparent, we left the mountain pass, and we had with us a herd of camels. We came close to the city when we were sitting down, and a man wearing two garments greeted us. He asked, 'Which tribe are you from?' We replied, 'We are from the mountain pass, and we have with us a red camel.' He asked, 'Are you selling the camel?' We replied, 'Yes.' He asked, 'For how much?' We said, 'For this much and this much (giving the measurement in weight) of dates.' He said, 'I take it.' He took hold of the camel's reins and went away with it until he disappeared into the city walls. Some of us said to each other, 'Do you know who this man is?' None of us knew him, so the people started asking each other, 'Are you selling your camels to someone you do not know?' The herd of camels replied, 'Do not blame each other, for we have seen a man who will not betray you. We have not seen anyone whose face resembles the full moon on the night of the full moon.' When evening came, a man came to us and greeted us, saying, 'Peace and Allah's mercy be upon you. Are you the people who came from the mountain pass?' We replied, 'Yes.' He said, 'I am the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , and he commands you to eat from these dates until you are satisfied and take as much as you can hold in your hands.' So we ate from the dates until we were satisfied and took as much as we could hold. The next day, we arrived in the city, and there was the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , standing on the pulpit, addressing the people. I heard him say, 'The hand that gives is better than the hand that takes, and start with those who rely on you the most—your mother, your father, your sister, your brother—and work your way down.' Then a man from the Ansar stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, these are the sons of Tha'laba bin Yarbu, who killed so and so during the time of ignorance. Take revenge on our behalf.' The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , raised his hands until I could see the whiteness of his armpits and said, 'A mother should not be held accountable for her child, a mother should not be held accountable for her child.' And he repeated the hadith, which was also narrated by Abu Jannab al-Kalbi from Jamee bin Shaddad."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِسُوقِ ذِي الْمَجَازِ وَأَنَا فِي بَيَاعَةٍ لِي فَمَرَّ وَعَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حَمْرَاءُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ تُفْلِحُوا وَرَجُلٌ يَتَّبِعُهُ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ قَدْ أَدْمَى كَعْبَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تُطِيعُوا هَذَا؛ فَإِنَّهُ كَذَّابٌ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ فَقِيلَ هَذَا غُلَامٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقُلْتُ فَمَنْ هَذَا يَرْمِيهِ بِالْحِجَارَةِ؟ قِيلَ عَمُّهُ عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى أَبُو لَهَبِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَلَمَّا أَظْهَرَ اللهُ الْإِسْلَامَ خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ وَمَعَنَا ظَعِينَةٌ حَتَّى نَزَلْنَا قَرِيبًا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ قُعُودٌ إِذْ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مِنْ أِيِّ الْقَوْمِ؟ فَقُلْنَا مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ وَمَعَنَا جَمَلٌ أَحْمَرُ فَقَالَ تَبِيعُونِي الْجَمَلَ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ بِكَمْ؟ فَقُلْنَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ قَالَ قَدْ أَخَذْتُهُ وَمَا اسْتَقْصَى فَأَخَذَ بِخِطَامِ الْجَمَلِ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى تَوَارَى فِي حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ تَعْرِفُونَ الرَّجُلَ؟ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُهُ فَلَامَ الْقَوْمُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا فَقَالُوا تُعْطُونَ جَمَلَكُمْ مَنْ لَا تَعْرِفُونَ فَقَالَتِ الظَّعِينَةُ فَلَا تَلَاوَمُوا فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا رَجُلًا لَا يَغْدِرُ بِكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا أَشْبَهَ بِالْقَمِرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَشِيُّ أَتَانَا رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ أَأَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ جِئْتُمْ مِنَ الرَّبَذَةِ؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا مِنْ هَذَا التَّمْرِ حَتَّى تَشْبَعُوا وَتَكْتَالُوا حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفُوا فَأَكَلْنَا مِنَ التَّمْرِ حَتَّى شَبِعْنَا وَاكْتَلْنَا حَتَّى اسْتَوْفَيْنَا ثُمَّ قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْعُلْيَا وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ وَأَدْنَاكَ أَدْنَاكَ وَثَمَّ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعٍ الَّذِينَ قَتَلُوا فُلَانًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَخُذْ لَنَا بِثَأْرِنَا فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضَ إِبْطَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ لَا تَجْنِي أُمٌّ عَلَى وَلَدٍ وَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا أَبُو جَنَابٍ الْكَلْبِيُّ عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ  

[Machine] I saw Umar ibn Al-Khattab before he was struck by the days in Medina. He stood with Hudhaifah ibn Al-Yaman and Uthman ibn Hunayf and said, "How have you two managed to bear the burden of the earth that it cannot bear?" They said, "We have carried it by a command that it can bear." Hudhaifah said, "If I were to carry it, it would be weakened." Uthman ibn Hunayf said, "I have carried it by a command that it can bear, without any great favor." Umar then said, "See that you have not carried the burden of the earth that it cannot bear." They said, "No." Umar said, "If Allah grants me safety, I will leave the widows of Iraq without needing any man after me." He said, "Only four things came upon him until he was struck." He said, "And between me and him, there is no one except Abdullah ibn Abbas in the morning." He said, "And he used to stand between the rows. If he saw any disorder among them, he would say, 'Stand still until there is no disorder among them.' Then he would proceed and say the takbir." He said, "And perhaps he would recite Surah Yusuf or An-Nahl or something similar in the first raka'a until the people gathered." He said, "And it was only that he would say the takbir." He said, "I heard him say, 'The dog has killed me or the dog has eaten me,' when he was stabbed. Then he flew out of the wound with a double-edged knife that would not pass by anyone to the right or left except that it would stab him, until he stabbed thirteen men and nine of them died. When he saw that, a Muslim man threw a cloak on him. When the assassin thought that he had taken hold of him, he slit his own throat." He said, "And Umar held the hand of Abdullah ibn Awf and brought him forward." He said, "Who will take care of Umar? He has seen what he has seen." He said, "Regarding the surroundings of the mosque, they did not know anything except that they had lost the voice of Umar while they were saying, 'Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.' Abdul-Rahman ibn Awf led them in a light prayer. When they finished, Umar said, 'O Ibn Abbas, see who killed me.' He went for a while and then came back and said, 'The slave of Al-Mughirah killed him.' He said, 'Really?' After they all spoke with their tongues and prayed towards their qibla and performed the Hajj according to their rites, he was brought to his house. We then left with him." He said, "And it was as if the people had not been affected by any calamity before that day. Some were saying, 'There is no harm,' while others were saying, 'We fear for him.' So they brought some wine and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. Then they brought some milk and he drank it, and it came out of his wound. They recognized that he was dead, and he mentioned this incident in his will and in the command to consult each other."
