l heard 'Umar bin al-Khattab say: When the Revelation came down to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a sound could be heard near his face like the buzzing of bees. We waited a while, then he turned to face the qiblah and raised his hands, then he said: “O Allah, give us more (blessing) and do not give us less; honour us and do not humiliate us, give to us and do not deprive us, give precedence to us and do not give others precedence over us; be pleased with us and make us pleased.” Then he said: “Ten verses have been revealed to me; whoever adheres to thern will enter Paradise.” Then he recited to us: “Successful indeed are the believers” [al-Mu'minoon 23:1] until he completed the ten verses. (Using translation from Aḥmad 223)   

سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَحْيُ سُمِعَ عِنْدَهُ دَوِيٌّ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ فَمَكَثْنَا سَاعَةً فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ زِدْنَا وَلَا تَنْقُصْنَا وَأَكْرِمْنَا وَلَا تُهِنَّا وَأَعْطِنَا وَلَا تَحْرِمْنَا وَآثِرْنَا وَلَا تُؤْثِرْ عَلَيْنَا وَارْضِ عَنَّا وَأَرْضِنَا» ثُمَّ قَالَ «لَقَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ عَشْرُ آيَاتٍ مَنْ أَقَامَهُنَّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون 2] الْآيَاتُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah created the Garden of Eden and planted its trees with His own hand. Then He said to it, 'Speak.' So it said, 'Indeed, the believers have succeeded.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ جَنَّةَ عَدْنٍ وَغَرَسَ أَشْجَارَهَا بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا تَكَلَّمِي فَقَالَتْ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ  

[Machine] We asked Aisha, the mother of the believers, "What was the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" She said, "His character was the Quran." Then she said, "Do you recite Surah Al-Mu'minun?" recite, "Certainly will the believers have succeeded." [Quran 23:1] until it reached ten. Then she said, "This is how the character of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was."  

قُلْنَا لِعَائِشَةَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَيْفَ كَانَ خَلْقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَتْ «كَانَ خُلُقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْقُرْآنُ» ثُمَّ قَالَتْ تَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ اقْرَأْ {قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ} [المؤمنون 1] حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْعَشْرَ فَقَالَتْ هَكَذَا كَانَ خُلُقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] Regarding His saying, Exalted be He, "Who are humble in their prayers" [Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 2], He said: "Humility is in the heart, and that your shoulders soften for the Muslim, and that you do not turn around in your prayer."  

عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون 2] قَالَ «الْخُشُوعُ فِي الْقَلْبِ وَأَنْ تَلِينُ كَتِفَكَ لِلْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ وَأَنْ لَا تَلْتَفِتَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ»  

[Machine] The translation is as follows: "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to raise his gaze towards the sky when he prayed, and then the verse would descend upon him: 'Those who are humble in their prayers' [Al-Mu'minun 2]. And he would lower his head."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى رَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَنَزَلَتْ {الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ} [المؤمنون 2] فَطَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ  

[Machine] And I have recited this verse: "And those who guard their private parts, except from their wives or those their right hands possess, for indeed, they are not to be blamed - But whoever seeks beyond that" [An-Nur 6]. Those whom Allah has not married nor given authority have certainly transgressed.  

وَقَرَأَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حَافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمْ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ فَمَنِ ابْتَغَى وَرَاءَ} [المؤمنون 6] مَا زَوَّجَهُ اللَّهُ أَوْ مَلَّكَهُ فَقَدْ عَدَا  

[Machine] Ishaaq recited that 'Abdul-Razzaq narrated from Ma'mar, who narrated from Al-A'mash, who narrated from Abu Salih, who narrated from Abu Hurairah regarding the saying of Allah, "These [believers] are the inheritors." (Surah Al-Mu'minun, 23:10) He said, "They inherit their dwellings and the dwellings of their brothers that have been prepared for them if they obey Allah."  

ثنا إِسْحَاقُ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَ مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْوَارِثُونَ} [المؤمنون 10] قَالَ «يَرِثُونَ مَسَاكِنَهُمْ وَمَسَاكِنَ إِخْوَانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ أُعِدَّتْ لَهُمْ إِذَا أَطَاعُوا اللَّهَ»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, is the person who commits adultery, steals, and drinks alcohol, but still fears Allah Almighty, considered righteous?" He said, "No, but the person who fasts, prays, and gives charity, and still fears Allah Almighty, is considered righteous."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ ﷻ {الَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ} [المؤمنون 60] أَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَزْنِي وَيَسْرِقُ وَيَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ وَهُوَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ يَخَافُ اللَّهَ ﷻ؟ قَالَ «لَا وَلَكِنَّهُ الرَّجُلُ يَصُومُ وَيُصَلِّي وَيَتَصَدَّقُ وَهُوَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ يَخَافُ اللَّهَ ﷻ»  

[Machine] The black person disliked this verse when it was revealed: "The arrogant ones are making a move to abandon it." They said arrogantly, "We are its people, leaving it behind." He said: "They used to abandon it and not rebuild it." (Al-Mu'minun 67)  

إِنَّمَا كُرِهَ السَّمَرُ حِينَ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِهِ سَامِرًا تَهْجُرُونَ} [المؤمنون 67] قَالَ مُسْتَكْبِرِينَ بِالْبَيْتِ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ أَهْلُهُ {تَهْجُرُونَ} [المؤمنون 67] قَالَ كَانُوا يَهْجُرُونَهُ وَلَا يُعَمِّرُونَهُ  

[Machine] Abu Sufyan came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Muhammad, I swear by Allah and the kinship, we have eaten the 'Alhaz' which means wild animals and blood." So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed: "And indeed, We seized them with punishment, but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate" (Surah Al-Mu'minun, 76).  

جَاءَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ وَالرَّحِمَ قَدْ أَكَلْنَا الْعَلْهَزَ يَعْنِي الْوَبَرَ وَالدَّمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ} [المؤمنون 76]  

[Machine] I hear Allah say in the Quran, "And Allah is over all things competent." (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:27) This was a matter that has already happened, and He said, "On that Day, no close friends will avail each other, and no one will ask after another." (Surah Al-Mu'minun, 23:101) And He also said in another verse, "And they will approach one another, inquiring." (Surah As-Saffat, 37:27) Then He mentioned some things, and Ibn Abbas said, "As for His saying, 'And Allah is over all things competent' (Surah Al-Ahzab, 33:27), surely He has always been, and will always be, the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden. As for His saying, 'On that day, no close friends will avail each other, and no one will ask after another' (Surah Al-Mu'minun, 23:101), this is referring to the first blowing of the Trumpet when nothing will remain on the earth. As for His saying, 'And they will approach one another, inquiring' (Surah As-Saffat, 37:50), surely when they enter Paradise, they will approach one another, inquiring."  

أَسْمَعُ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ {وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرًا} [الأحزاب 27] كَانَ هَذَا أَمَرًا قَدْ كَانَ وَقَالَ {فَلَا أَنْسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ} [المؤمنون 101] وَقَالَ فِي آيَةٍ أُخْرَى {وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ} [الصافات 27] ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ أَشْيَاءَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرًا} [الأحزاب 27] فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ وَلَا يَزَالُ هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخَرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {فَلَا أَنْسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ} [المؤمنون 101] فَهَذَا فِي النَّفْخَةِ الْأُولَى حِينَ لَا يَبْقَى عَلَى الْأَرْضِ شَيْءٌ فَلَا أَنْسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ} [الصافات 50] فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمَّا دَخَلُوا الْجَنَّةَ أَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ  

"And therein they will grimace in displace lips. -He will be grilled by the Fire until his upper lip is folded up reaching the middle of his head, And his bottom lip pains down, until it hits his navel." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2587)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ {تَلْفَحُ وُجُوهَهُمُ النَّارُ وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَالِحُونَ} [المؤمنون 104] قَالَ «تَشْوِيهِ النَّارُ فَتَقَلَّصُ شَفَتُهُ الْعُلْيَا حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ وَسَطَ رَأْسِهِ وَتَسْتَرْخِي شَفَتُهُ السُّفْلَى حَتَّى تَضْرِبَ سُرَّتَهُ»  

[Machine] "Like a fully matured bunch of grapes"  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَالِحُونَ} [المؤمنون 104] قَالَ «كَكُلُوحِ الرَّأْسِ النَّضِيجِ»  

[Machine] Verily, the people of the fire will call to Malik, but he will not answer them for forty days, then he will turn toward them and say, "Indeed, you are staying [here permanently]." They will say, "Our Lord, you have overcome us, and we have become a people astray." [Surah Al-Mu'minun 23:106] He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me."  

إِنَّ أَهْلَ النَّارِ يَدْعُونَ مَالِكًا فَلَا يُجِيبُهُمْ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّكُمْ مَاكِثُونَ قَالَ هَانَتْ دَعْوَتُهُمْ وَاللَّهِ عَلَى مَالِكٍ وَرَبِّ مَالِكٍ قَالُوا {رَبَّنَا غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْنَا شِقْوَتُنَا وَكُنَّا قَوْمًا ضَالِّينَ} [المؤمنون 106] {قَالَ اخْسَئُوا فِيهَا وَلَا تُكَلِّمُونَ}
