[Machine] "Al-Walid ibn al-Mughira came to the Prophet ﷺ and he recited the Qur'an to him. It affected him deeply and Abu Jahl heard about it and came to him. He said, 'O uncle, your people think about gathering wealth for you.' He asked, 'Why?' Abu Jahl replied, 'So that they can give it to you, as you have come to Muhammad to seek his favor.' He said, 'The Quraysh already know that I am one of the wealthiest among them.' Abu Jahl said, 'Then say something that will alarm your people, that you reject it or that you dislike it.' He replied, 'By Allah, there is not a man among you who knows more poetry than I, nor do I know any man who knows more rhymes or verses than I do. By Allah, there is no similarity to what he says in anything else. By Allah, his words are sweeter, more eloquent, and more fruitful than any other. It humbles what is beneath it and rises above it, and nothing rises above it. It breaks what is beneath it.' Abu Jahl said, 'Your people will not be pleased with you until you say something about it.' He replied, 'Leave me until I think about it.' When he thought about it, he said, 'This is magic that is preferred and surpasses everything else.' So the verse was revealed, 'Leave Me with the one whom I created alone' (Qur'an 74:11)."  

أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ الْمُغِيرَةِ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنَ فَكَأَنَّهُ رَقَّ لَهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَبَا جَهْلٍ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا عَمُّ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يَرَوْنَ أَنْ يَجْمَعُوا لَكَ مَالًا قَالَ لَمَ؟ قَالَ لِيُعْطُوكَهُ فَإِنَّكَ أَتَيْتَ مُحَمَّدًا لِتُعْرِضَ لِمَا قِبَلَهُ قَالَ قَدْ عَلِمَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَنِّي مِنْ أَكْثَرِهَا مَالًا قَالَ فَقُلْ فِيهِ قَوْلًا يَبْلُغُ قَوْمَكَ أَنَّكَ مُنْكِرٌ لَهُ أَوْ أَنَّكَ كَارِهٌ لَهُ قَالَ وَمَاذَا أَقُولُ «فَوَاللَّهِ مَا فِيكُمْ رَجُلٌ أَعْلَمَ بِالْأَشْعَارِ مِنِّي وَلَا أَعْلَمَ بِرَجَزٍ وَلَا بِقَصِيدَةٍ مِنِّي وَلَا بِأَشْعَارِ الْجِنِّ وَاللَّهِ مَا يُشْبِهُ الَّذِي يَقُولُ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا وَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّ لِقَوْلِهِ الَّذِي يَقُولُ حَلَاوَةً وَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ لَطَلَاوَةً وَإِنَّهُ لَمُثْمِرٌ أَعْلَاهُ مُغْدِقٌ أَسْفَلُهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَعْلُو وَمَا يُعْلَى وَإِنَّهُ لَيَحْطِمُ مَا تَحْتَهُ» قَالَ لَا يَرْضَى عَنْكَ قَوْمُكَ حَتَّى تَقُولَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَدَعْنِي حَتَّى أُفَكِّرَ فَلَمَّا فَكَّرَ قَالَ هَذَا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ يَأْثُرُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ فَنَزَلَتْ {ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا} [المدثر 11]  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, "Woe to the [bottom of] a valley in Hell, where the disbeliever falls for forty autumns before reaching its depth. And the ascent is a mountain in the Fire, where one climbs for seventy autumns, and then falls, and it is the same."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْوَيْلُ وَادٍ فِي جَهَنَّمَ يَهْوِي فِيهِ الْكَافِرُ أَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ قَعْرَهُ وَالصَّعُودُ جَبَلٌ فِي النَّارِ فَيَتَصَعَّدُ فِيهِ سَبْعِينَ خَرِيفًا ثُمَّ يَهْوِي وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] From Ali in his saying, exalted is He (Allah), "Every soul, for what it has earned, will be held in pledge, except the companions of the right." [Al-Muddaththir 39]. He said, "They are the children of the Muslims."  

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ} [المدثر 39] قَالَ «هُمْ أَطْفَالُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»  

[Machine] From Abu Musa, regarding His saying - exalted be He - "So they ran away from al-Qaswara" [Al-Muddaththir 51], he said, "Al-Qaswara refers to the men of hunting, the archers."  

عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {فَرَّتْ مِنْ قَسْوَرَةٍ} [المدثر 51] قَالَ «الْقَسْوَرَةُ الرُّمَاةُ رِجَالُ الْقَنْصِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite, "And you do not will except that Allah wills. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. He admits whom He wills into His mercy."[Quran 2:105] He said, "Your Lord says, 'I am worthy of being feared, that I should have another deity with Me, while I am worthy of being worshipped by those who fear Me, that I should have another deity with them, that I should forgive him.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَرَأَ {وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ} قَالَ يَقُولُ رَبُّكُمْ ﷻ أَنَا أَهْلٌ أَنْ أُتَّقَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مَعِي إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَأَنَا أَهْلٌ لِمَنِ اتَّقَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مَعِي إِلَهًا آخَرَ أَنْ أَغْفِرَ لَهُ  

[Machine] "From whom?" I said, "From the Bani Asad tribe," he said. "From their noble lineage or from those whom Allah has blessed?" I said, "From those whom Allah has blessed." He said, "Ask." I said, "I swear by the Day of Resurrection." He said, "Your Lord swears by whatever He wills of His creations." I said, "And I swear by the reproachful soul." He said, "It is the soul that blames itself." I said, "Does man think that We will never assemble his bones? Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers." He said, "If He wills, He could make him (man) flat, then backward." I said, "Then it will be [the same for him] a resting place and a depository." He said, "The resting place is in the womb, and the depository is in the backbone."  

«مِنْ أَيِّهِمْ؟» قُلْتُ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ قَالَ «مِنْ حَرُورِيَّتِهِمْ أَوْ مِمَّنْ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ؟» قُلْتُ مِمَّنْ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ سَلْ قُلْتُ {لَا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ} [القيامة 1] قَالَ يُقْسِمُ رَبُّكَ بِمَا شَاءَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ قُلْتُ {وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ اللَّوَّامَةِ} [القيامة 2] قَالَ مِنَ النَّفْسِ الْمَلُومِ قُلْتُ {أَيَحْسَبُ الْإِنْسَانُ أَلَّنْ نَجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُ بَلَى قَادِرِينَ عَلَى أَنْ نُسَوِّيَ بَنَانَهُ} [القيامة 4] قَالَ لَوْ شَاءَ لَجَعَلَهُ خُفًّا أَوْ حَافِرًا قُلْتُ {فَمُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمُسْتَوْدَعٌ} [الأنعام 98] قَالَ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ فِي الرَّحِمِ وَالْمُسْتَوْدَعُ فِي الصُّلْبِ  

[Machine] "About Ibn Abbas, it is said: 'Rather, man desires to commit evil openly.' [Surah Al-Qiyamah, verse 5] He says: 'I will repent.' [Surah Al-Qiyamah, verse 6] 'He will ask, "When is the Day of Resurrection?"' [Surah Al-Qiyamah, verse 6] 'Then the vision will become clear to him when it dazzles the sight.' [Surah Al-Qiyamah, verse 7]"  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ {بَلْ يُرِيدُ الْإِنْسَانُ لِيَفْجُرَ أَمَامَهُ} [القيامة 5] يَقُولُ سَوْفَ أَتُوبُ {يَسْأَلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ} [القيامة 6] «فَيَتَبَيَّنُ لَهُ إِذَا بَرِقَ الْبَصَرُ»  

[Machine] On the authority of Abdullah, in his statement, Almighty Allah says: "On the day when some signs of your Lord come, faith will not benefit a soul that did not believe before." (Quran 6:158) He said, "The sunrise from its west." Then he recited this verse: "And the sun and moon are joined, the human being will say on that day: Where is the escape?" (Quran 75:10)  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {يَوْمَ يَأْتِي بَعْضُ آيَاتِ رَبِّكَ لَا يَنْفَعُ نَفْسًا إِيمَانُهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ} [الأنعام 158] قَالَ «طُلُوعُ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {وَجُمِعَ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ يَقُولُ الْإِنْسَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ} [القيامة 10]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The lowest rank of the people of Paradise is for a man who looks at his kingdom for a thousand years, seeing its furthest reaches as he sees its closest parts. He looks at his wives, servants, and palaces. The highest rank of the people of Paradise is for the one who looks at the face of Allah Almighty twice every day." Israel ibn Yunus transmitted from Thawr from Ibn Umar, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The lowest rank of the people of Paradise is for the one who looks at his kingdom for a thousand years, and the highest rank is for the one who looks at the face of Allah Almighty twice every day.' Then he recited: 'Faces that Day will be radiant, looking at their Lord' (Quran 75:22), and 'To their Lord, on that Day, the gazes will be cast' (Quran 75:23). He said, 'They will look at the face of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, every day.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً لَرَجُلٌ يَنْظُرُ فِي مُلْكِهِ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ يَرَى أَقْصَاهُ كَمَا يَرَى أَدْنَاهُ يَنْظُرُ فِي أَزْوَاجِهِ وَخَدَمِهِ وَسُرُرِهِ وَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً لَمَنْ يَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ» تَابَعَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بْنُ يُونُسَ عَنْ ثُوَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَدْنَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً لَمَنْ يَرَى فِي مُلْكِهِ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ وَإِنَّ أَفْضَلَهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً لَمَنْ يَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَلَا {وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ} [القيامة 22] قَالَ «الْبَيَاضُ وَالصَّفَاءُ» {إِلَى رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ} [القيامة 23] قَالَ «يَنْظُرُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي وَجْهِ اللَّهِ ﷻ»  

[Machine] I said to Ibn Abbas, "Is it something that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said or something that Allah revealed?" He replied, "It is something that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, and then Allah revealed it."  

قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ {أَوْلَى لَكَ فَأَوْلَى} [القيامة 34] أَشَيْءٌ قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ شَيْءٌ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ؟ قَالَ «قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ»  

[Machine] Indeed, when the Prophet ﷺ read the verse "Is not He capable of reviving the dead?" (Qiyamah 40), he said "yes." And when he read the verse "Is not Allah the wisest of judges?" (At-Tin 8), he also said "yes."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ {أَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِقَادِرٍ عَلَى أَنْ يُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى} [القيامة 40] قَالَ «بَلَى» وَإِذَا قَرَأَ {أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَحْكَمِ الْحَاكِمِينَ} [التين 8] قَالَ «بَلَى»  

“I see what you do not see, and I hear what you do not hear. The heaven is creaking and it should creak, for there is no space in it the width of four fingers but there is an angel there, prostrating to Allah. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much, and you would never enjoy women in your beds, and you would go out in the streets, beseeching Allah.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4190)   

قَرَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنِّي أَرَى مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ وَأَسْمَعُ مَا لَا تَسْمَعُونَ أَطَّتِ السَّمَاءُ وَحَقَّ لَهَا أَنْ تَئِطَّ مَا فِيهَا مَوْضِعُ قَدْرِ أَرْبَعِ أَصَابِعَ إِلَّا مَلَكٌ وَاضِعٌ جَبْهَتَهُ سَاجِدًا لِلَّهِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا وَمَا تَلَذَّذْتُمْ بِالنِّسَاءِ عَلَى الْفُرُشِ وَلَخَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى الصُّعُدَاتِ تَجْأَرُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَاللَّهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي شَجَرَةٌ تُعْضَدُ»  

[Machine] "They were humbled and they took from it however they wanted."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلًا} [الإنسان 14] قَالَ «ذُلِّلَتْ لَهُمْ فَيَتَنَاوَلُونَ مِنْهَا كَيْفَ شَاءُوا»  

[Machine] "He mentioned the boats of the people of paradise, and then recited, 'And when you look, then you will see bliss and a great kingdom.' [Surah Al-Insan 20]"  

أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ مَرَاكِبَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ تَلَا {وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ثَمَّ رَأَيْتَ نَعِيمًا وَمُلْكًا كَبِيرًا} [الإنسان 20]  

[Machine] From Abu Huraira in regards to His saying, Exalted and Mighty is He, "By the ones sent forth with a known mission" [Al-Mursalat 1], He said, "They are the angels who are sent forth with a known purpose."  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَالْمُرْسَلَاتِ عُرْفًا} [المرسلات 1] قَالَ «هِيَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أُرْسِلَتْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ»  

[Machine] "The Winds"  

«الرِّيَاحُ»  

[Machine] About this verse, "Indeed, it [the sky] casts [at the devils] sparks [as if they were tawny camels]." [Al-Mursalat 32], he said, "During the period of ignorance, we would make short wooden pieces about the length of two or three arms, and we would raise them in the winter and call them "qasr" (palaces)." He said, "I heard from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) and was asked about the verse, "Yellow spears." [Al-Mursalat 33], he said, "The ropes of ships are tied together until they become like the middles of the sails."  

عَنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {إِنَّهَا تَرْمِي بِشَرَرٍ كَالْقَصَرِ} [المرسلات 32] قَالَ «كُنَّا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ نَقْصُرُ الْخَشَبَ ذِرَاعَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةً فَنَرْفَعُهُ فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَنُسَمِّيهِ الْقَصْرَ» قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَسُئِلَ عَنْ {جِمَالَتٌ صُفْرٌ} [المرسلات 33] قَالَ «حِبَالُ السُّفُنِ يُجْمَعُ بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ حَتَّى يَكُونَ كَأَوْسَاطِ الرِّحَالِ»  

[Machine] To create creation, Allah sent the wind which swept away the water until it disappeared from the surface of the land, including the area beneath the Kaaba. Then Allah extended the earth until it reached the desired length and width. Ibn Abbas showed me with his hand that it extended like this and like that. He said, "Allah made the mountains as stabilizers and pillars." Abu Qubays was one of the first mountains placed on the earth.  

أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْخَلْقَ أَرْسَلَ الرِّيحَ فَتَسَحَّبَتِ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى أَبْدَتْ عَنْ حَشَفَةٍ وَهِيَ الَّتِي تَحْتَ الْكَعْبَةِ ثُمَّ مَدَّ الْأَرْضَ حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الطُّوَلِ وَالْعَرْضِ» قَالَ وَكَانَتْ هَكَذَا تَمْتَدُّ وَأَرَانِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ بِيَدِهِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا قَالَ «فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ الْجِبَالَ رَوَاسِيَ أَوْتَادًا» فَكَانَ أَبُو قُبَيْسٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ جَبَلٍ وُضِعَ فِي الْأَرْضِ  

[Machine] "The era is eighty years."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {لَابِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَابًا} [النبأ 23] قَالَ «الْحُقْبُ ثَمَانُونَ سَنَةً»  

[Machine] I heard Al-Abbas say, "Give us the water and quench our thirst."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {كَأْسًا دِهَاقًا} [النبأ 34] قَالَ «هِيَ الْمُتَتَابِعَةُ الْمُمْتَلِئَةُ» قَالَ وَرُبَّمَا سَمِعْتُ الْعَبَّاسَ يَقُولُ اسْقِنَا وَادْهَقْ لَنَا  

[Machine] Sufyan asked, "How is the hadith (narration) that you told me about Umm Salih?" He replied, "Umm Salih narrated to me from Safiyyah bint Shaybah, who narrated from Umm Habibah, who said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The speech of the son of Adam is only good (ordered by) with righteousness, or forbidding evil, or mentioning Allah."'" Muhammad ibn Yazid said, "I have never heard a more strict (severe) hadith than this." Sufyan replied, "And what is the severity of this hadith? It was only transmitted by one woman from another woman. This is in the Book of Allah, the Almighty, which your Prophet ﷺ was sent with." Then he recited, "On the Day when the Spirit and the angels stand in rows, they will not speak except for one whom the Most Merciful permits, and he will speak the truth" [An-Naba' 38], and said, "And He said, 'By time, indeed, mankind is in loss, except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience'" [Al-'Asr 1-3], and he also said, "There is no good in much of their private conversation except for those who enjoin charity or that which is right or conciliation between people" [An-Nisa' 114]. Adh-Dhahabi did not mention this hadith in his summary.  

لَهُ سُفْيَانُ كَيْفَ الْحَدِيثُ الَّذِي حَدَّثْتَنِي عَنِ أُمِّ صَالِحٍ؟ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ صَالِحٍ عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَلَامُ ابْنِ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ لَا لَهُ إِلَّا أَمْرٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ نَهْيٌ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ أَوْ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ» قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ قُلْتُ مَا أَشَدَّ هَذَا فَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَمَا شِدَّةُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِنَّمَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ امْرَأَةٌ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ هَذَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ ﷻ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ بِهِ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ فَقَرَأَ {يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا لَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا} [النبأ 38] وَقَالَ {وَالْعَصْرِ إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبِرِ} [العصر 2] وَقَالَ {لَا خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنْ نَجْوَاهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلَاحٍ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ} [النساء 114] الْآيَةُسكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص  

[Machine] "Al-Mawt" is valid according to the condition of the two sheikhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim), but it does not meet the condition of Al-Bukhari and Muslim.  

«الْمَوْتُ» صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ على شرط البخاري ومسلم  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ, when a quarter of the night had passed, used to say, "O people, remember Allah's favor on you. O people, remember that the shaking (of the Hour) will come after which comes calmness. Then the second shaking comes after which comes calmness. Then a third shaking will come and it will be followed by a calamity whose magnitude is beyond description. Then the Hour will be established with its signs." Ubayy bin Ka'b said, "O Messenger of Allah, I invoke salutations upon you frequently. How much of my supplication should I devote to you?" He said, "As you like."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا ذَهَبَ رُبْعُ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوا جَاءَتِ الرَّاجِفَةُ تَتْبَعُهَا الرَّادِفَةُ جَاءَ الْمَوْتُ بِمَا فِيهِ» فَقَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُكْثِرُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْكَ فَكَمْ أَجْعَلُ لَكَ مِنْ صَلَاتِي؟ قَالَ «مَا شِئْتَ» الْحَدِيثُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to be asked about the Hour (i.e., the Day of Judgment) until the following verse was revealed to him: "They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? In what [position] are you that you should mention it? To your Lord is its finality" [An-Nazi'at 43]. He ﷺ responded, "It has no knowledge, except with God."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُسْأَلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ حَتَّى أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ {يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَاهَا فِيمَ أَنْتَ مِنْ ذِكْرَاهَا إِلَى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهَاهَا} [النازعات 43] قَالَ «فَانْتَهَى»  

“He frowned and turned away” was revealed about Ibn Umm Maktum the blind man. He came to the Messenger of Allah saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Guide me.’ At that time, there was a revered man from the idolaters with the Messenger of Allah. So the Messenger of Allah turned away from him and faced the other man, saying: ‘Do you think that there is something wrong with what I am saying?’ He said: ‘No.’ So it was about that that it was revealed.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3331)   

أَتَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ أَرْشِدْنِي قَالَتْ وَعِنْدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَتْ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ وَيُقْبِلُ عَلَى الْآخَرِ وَيَقُولُ «أَتَرَى مَا أَقُولُ بَأْسًا» فَيَقُولُ «لَا» فَفِي هَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى  

[Machine] "So we have understood all of this, then what is the matter with the father who then broke a stick that was in his hand and said, "By Allah, this is an act of exaggeration, follow what has been made clear to you from this book."  

فَكُلُّ هَذَا قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ فَمَا الْأَبُّ ثُمَّ نَقَضَ عَصًا كَانَتْ فِي يَدِهِ فَقَالَ «هَذَا لَعَمْرُ اللَّهَ التَّكَلُّفُ اتَّبِعُوا مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ»  

[Machine] From Sawdah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, she said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "People will be resurrected barefoot, naked, and uncircumcised, afflicted by sweat and their perspiration reaching the level of their ears." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, won't people look at each other?" He said, "People will be occupied with something else." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse, "On the Day a man will flee from his brother, and his mother and his father, and his wife and his children. For every man, that Day will be a matter sufficient unto him." [Quran 80: 34-36]  

عَنْ سَوْدَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُبْعَثُ النَّاسُ حُفَاةً عُرَاةً غُرْلًا يُلْجِمُهُمُ الْعَرَقُ وَيَبْلُغُ شَحْمَةَ الْأُذُنِ» قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاسَوْءَتَاهُ يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُنَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ قَالَ «شُغِلَ النَّاسُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ» وَتَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ وَأَبِيهِ وَصَاحِبَتِهِ وَبَنِيهِ لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ} [عبس 35]  

[Machine] "They will be covered with dust on the faces of the disbelievers, not on the faces of the believers." And this is the saying of Allah Almighty, "On the Day the faces will be covered with dust, covered with darkness." [Surah 'Abasa, 41]  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَحُمِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَاحِدَةً} [الحاقة 14] قَالَ «يَصِيرَانِ غَبَرَةً عَلَى وُجُوهِ الْكُفَّارِ لَا عَلَى وُجُوهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ» وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ ﷻ {وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ} [عبس 41]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever wants to see the Day of Resurrection, let him recite 'When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up' (Surah At-Takwir)."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلْيَقْرَأْ إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ»  

[Machine] "The gathering of animals is their death, and the gathering of everything is death except for jinn and humans."  

«حَشْرُ الْبَهَائِمِ مَوْتُهَا وَحَشْرُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ الْمَوْتُ غَيْرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ»  

[Machine] "They are the two men who are doing the work that leads them to enter both Paradise and Hell. The wicked will be with the wicked, and the righteous will be with the righteous."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ} [التكوير 7] قَالَ «هُمَا الرَّجُلَانِ يَعْمَلَانِ الْعَمَلَ يَدْخُلَانِ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ الْفَاجِرُ مَعَ الْفَاجِرِ وَالصَّالِحُ مَعَ الصَّالِحِ»  

[Machine] "She is the beast's cow."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ الْجِوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ} [التكوير 16] قَالَ «هِيَ بَقَرُ الْوَحْشِ»  

[Machine] When Uthman was killed, I felt a great panic. So, I went to Ali. While I was with him, a man asked him about the verse "The casting out of the stars" [Quran 81:15]. He said, "The planets."  

لَمَّا قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ ذَعَرَنِي ذَلِكَ ذُعْرًا شَدِيدًا فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيًّا فَبَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَهُ إِذْ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مَا {الْجِوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ} [التكوير 16] قَالَ الْكَوَاكِبُ  

[Machine] "Yes, this is the time of Witr prayer, then recite (And by the night when it passes away, and by the dawn when it breathes) [Al-Takweer, 18]. 'It is correct with the condition of a Muslim and they did not leave it.'"  

نِعْمَ سَاعَةُ الْوِتْرِ هَذِهِ ثُمَّ تَلَا {وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ وَالصُّبْحُ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ} [التكوير 18] «صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» صحيح على شرط مسلم  

[Machine] A questioner came during the time of the Prophet ﷺ and asked, so the people remained silent. Then a man gave him and then the people also gave him. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever seeks goodness and gives it to him, then he will have his reward and the rewards of those who followed him will not be decreased in anything. And whoever seeks evil and gives it to him, then he bears its burden and the burdens of those who followed him will not be decreased in anything." Huzaifah ibn Al-Yaman recited, "A soul will know what it has put forth and kept behind" [Al-Infitar 5].  

قَامَ سَائِلٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَ فَسَكَتَ الْقَوْمُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَعْطَاهُ فَأَعْطَاهُ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «مَنِ اسْتَنَّ خَيْرًا فَاسْتُنَّ بِهِ فَلَهُ أَجْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أُجُورِ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ غَيْرَ مُنْتَقِصٍ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْئًا وَمَنِ اسْتَنَّ شَرًّا فَاسْتُنَّ بِهِ فَعَلَيْهِ وِزْرُهُ وَمِثْلُ أَوْزَارِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ غَيْرَ مُنْتَقِصٍ مِنْ أَوْزَارِهِمْ شَيْئًا» قَالَ وَتَلَا حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ {عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ} [الانفطار 5]  

[Machine] "He is the man who hires the man or the laborer, and he knows that he cheats in his measurement, so his sin is upon him." - Ibrahim ibn Yazid Al-Wah  

«هُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَسْتَأْجِرَ الرَّجُلَ أَوِ الْكَيَّالَ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَحِيفُ فِي كَيْلِهِ فَوِزْرُهُ عَلَيْهِ» إبراهيم بن يزيد واه  

“When the believer commits sin, a black spot appears on his heart. If he repents and gives up that sin and seeks forgiveness, his heart will be polished. But if (the sin) increases, (the black spot) increases. That is the Ran that Allah mentions in His Book: “Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.” [83:14] (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4244)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا كَانَتْ نُكْتَةً سَوْدَاءَ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَإِنْ تَابَ وَنَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ سُقِلَ مِنْهَا قَلْبُهُ وَإِنْ زَادَ زَادَتْ حَتَّى يَعْلَقَ بِهَا قَلْبُهُ فَذَلِكَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ {كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ} [المطففين 14]  

[Machine] "A mixture, but not a seal that seals."  

«خَلْطٌ وَلَيْسَ بِخَاتَمٍ يَخْتِمُ»  

[Machine] "On the Day of Judgment, it will cast forth all that is in it and empty itself." [Al-Inshiqaaq 4] He said, "It will spew forth all that is within it of the dead."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انْشَقَّتْ وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ} [الانشقاق 2] قَالَ سَمِعْتُ {وَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ} [الانشقاق 3] قَالَ «يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» {وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ} [الانشقاق 4] قَالَ «أَخْرَجَتْ مَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْمَوْتَى»  

[Machine] The house existed before the earth by two thousand years, "then the earth was extended." He said, "It extended it from beneath it."  

كَانَ الْبَيْتُ قَبْلَ الْأَرْضِ بِأَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ «فَإِذَا الْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ» قَالَ «مِنْ تَحْتِهِ مَدًّا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are three characteristics that, if someone possesses them, Allah will account for them with a light reckoning and will admit them to Paradise by His mercy." They asked, "Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "The one who gives to those who have deprived him, forgives those who have wronged him, and maintains ties with those who have cut him off." They asked, "What then, O Messenger of Allah, if we do all of that?" He said, "Allah will account for you with a light reckoning and admit you to Paradise by His mercy."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ حَاسَبَهُ اللَّهُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا وَأَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِهِ» قَالُوا لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «تُعْطِي مَنْ حَرَمَكَ وَتَعْفُو عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَكَ وَتَصِلُ مَنْ قَطَعَكَ» قَالَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَمَا لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تُحَاسَبَ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا وَيُدْخِلَكَ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِهِ»  

[Machine] From Abdullah in his statement, "Indeed, you will surely ride on top of one another." [Quran 84:19], he said, "The sky."  

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ} [الانشقاق 19] قَالَ «السَّمَاءُ»  

[Machine] It means your prophet ﷺ said, "One situation after another."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَنْ طَبَقٍ} [الانشقاق 19] قَالَ يَعْنِي نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ يَقُولُ «حَالًا بَعْدَ حَالٍ»  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Hurairah: As for Ali, he narrated it to the Prophet ﷺ . And as for Yunus, Abu Hurairah did not mention him in this verse: "And a witness and a witnessed" (Surah Al-Buruj, 3). He said, "The witness is the Day of Arafah and the Day of Jumu'ah, and the witnessed is the promised Day of Resurrection." This is a hadith narrated by Shu'bah from Yunus ibn 'Ubaid, considered authentic according to the conditions of the two sheikhs (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) but they did not include it in their collections.  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَمَّا يُونُسُ فَلَمْ يَعُدَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {وَشَاهِدٍ وَمَشْهُودٍ} [البروج 3] قَالَ «الشَّاهِدُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ وَيَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَالْمَشْهُودُ هُوَ الْمَوْعُودُ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ» حَدِيثُ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ الشَّيْخَيْنِ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ على شرط البخاري ومسلم  

[Machine] "By the sky, containing constellations, surely your Lord’s punishment is severe and relentless until its completion."  

قَسَمٌ {وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الْبُرُوجِ} [البروج 1] {إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ} [البروج 12] إِلَى آخِرِهَا  

[Machine] Indeed, from what Allah has created is a preserved tablet made of a white pearl. Its covers are made of red ruby, and its pen is light, and its writings are light. Every day, it is looked upon 360 times, and in each look, He creates, provides sustenance, brings life, causes death, honors, humiliates, and does whatever He wills. So, this is His statement: "Every day He is upon a matter." [Ar-Rahman 29]  

إِنَّ مِمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ لَلَوْحًا مَحْفُوظًا مِنْ دُرَّةٍ بَيْضَاءَ دَفَّتَاهُ مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ قَلَمُهُ نُورٌ وَكِتَابُهُ نُورٌ يَنْظُرُ فِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ ثَلَاثُمِائَةً وَسِتِّينَ نَظْرَةً أَوْ مَرَّةً فَفِي كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ مِنْهَا يَخْلُقُ وَيَرْزُقُ وَيُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَيُعِزُّ وَيُذِلَّ وَيَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ} [الرحمن 29]  

[Machine] "The crucifixion" [Al-Tariq 7] is the crucifixion, and "the bars" [Al-Tariq 7] are four sides beneath the ribs.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ} [الطارق 7] قَالَ {الصُّلْبُ} [الطارق 7] هُوَ الصُّلْبُ {وَالتَّرَائِبُ} [الطارق 7] أَرْبَعَةُ أَضْلَاعٍ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ الْأَضْلَاعِ  

[Machine] "The rain and the cracked earth." [Al-Tariq 12] He said, "The vegetation there."  

«الْمَطَرُ» {وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ} [الطارق 12] قَالَ «ذَاتُ النَّبَاتِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to recite in Witr prayer, in the first Rak'ah, "Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High." In the second Rak'ah, he would recite "Say: O disbelievers." In the third Rak'ah, he would recite "Say: He is Allah, the One" and "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak." Lastly, he would recite "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind."  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْوِتْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَقُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ  

[Machine] We asked Aisha, "What used to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite during the Witr prayer?" She replied, "In the first Rak'ah, he used to recite Surah Al-A'la (the Most High), in the second Rak'ah, Surah Al-Kafirun (the Disbelievers), and in the third Rak'ah, Surah Al-Ikhlas (the Unity) along with Surah Al-Falaq (the Dawn) and Surah An-Nas (Mankind)." Sa'id ibn Kathir ibn 'Ufair, who is a narrating authority among the people of Egypt, mentioned this Hadith and narration. I requested it at the time when I was writing a book about Witr prayer, but I did not find it. Later, I found it after Adh-Dhahabi stopped commenting on it in his summary.  

سَأَلْنَا عَائِشَةَ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ يَقْرَأُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي الْوِتْرِ؟ فَقَالَتْ «كَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى بِسَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكِ الْأَعْلَى وَفِي الثَّانِيَةِ بِقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَفِي الثَّالِثَةِ بِقُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ» قَدْ أَتَى إِمَامُ أَهْلِ مِصْرَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَالرِّوَايَةِ سَعِيدُ بْنُ كَثِيرِ بْنِ عُفَيْرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ طَلَبْتُهَا وَقْتَ إِمْلَائِي كِتَابَ الْوِتْرِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْهَا فَوَجَدْتُهَا بَعْدُ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
