[Machine] Narrated Abu Mas'ood: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, from the speech of the earlier Prophets that people have been given is: 'If you have no shame, then do as you wish.'"  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي* مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِمَّا أَدْرَكَ النَّاسُ مِنْ كَلَامِ النُّبُوَّةِ الْأُولَى إِذَا لَمْ تَسْتَحْيِ فَاصْنَعْ مَا شِئْتَ»  

“Modesty is part of faith, and faith will be in Paradise. Obscenity in speech is part of harshness and harshness will be in Hell.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4184)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْحَيَاءُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْإِيمَانُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَالْبَذَاءُ مِنَ الْجَفَاءِ وَالْجَفَاءُ فِي النَّارِ»  

“Modesty is part of faith, and faith will be in Paradise. Obscenity in speech is part of harshness and harshness will be in Hell.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4184)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْحَيَاءُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْإِيمَانُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَالْبَذَاءُ مِنَ الْجَفَاءِ وَالْجَفَاءُ فِي النَّارِ»  

The Messenger of Allah [SAW] passed by a man who was censuring his brother about modesty. He said: "Let him be, for modesty is part of faith." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5033)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ يَعِظُ أَخَاهُ فِي الْحَيَاءِ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «دَعْهُ فَإِنَّ الْحَيَاءَ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ»  

There was a person before you who had killed ninety-nine persons and then made an inquiry about the learned persons of the world (who could show him the way to salvation). He was directed to a monk. He came to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted. He said: No. He killed him also and thus completed one hundred. He then asked about the learned persons of the earth and he was directed to a scholar, and he told him that he had killed one hundred persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted. He said: Yes; what stands between you and the repentance? You better go to such and such land; there are people devoted to prayer and worship and you also worship along with them and do not come to the land of yours since it was an evil land (for you). So he went away and he had hardly covered half the distance when death came to him and there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment. The angels of mercy said: This man has come as a penitant and remorseful to Allah and the angels of punishment said: He has done no good at all. Then there came another angel in the form of a human being in order to decide between them. He said: You measure the land to which he has drawn near. They measured it and found him nearer to the land where he intended to go (the land of piety), and so the angels of mercy took possession of it. Qatada said that Hasan told him that it was said to them that as death approached him, he crawled upon his chest (and managed) to slip in the land of mercy. (Using translation from Muslim 2766a)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كَانَ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ رَجُلٌ قَتَلَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا فَسَأَلَ عَنْ أَعْلَمِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَدُلَّ عَلَى رَاهِبٍ فَأَتَاهُ فقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ نَفْسًا فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ؟ قَالَ لَا فَقَتَلَهُ وَكَمَّلَ بِهِ مِائَةً ثُمَّ سَأَلَ عَنْ أَعْلَمِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَدُلَّ عَلَى رَجُلٍ فقَالَ أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ مِئَةً فَهَلْ لَهُ تَوْبَةٌ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ مَنْ يَحُولُ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ التَّوْبَةِ؟ ائْتِ أَرْضَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَإِنَّ بِهَا نَاسًا يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ فَاعْبُدِ اللَّهَ وَلَا تَرْجِعْ إِلَى أَرْضِكَ فَإِنَّهَا أَرْضُ سُوءٍ فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَصَفَ الطَّرِيقَ أَتَاهُ الْمَوْتُ فَاخْتَصَمَتْ فِيهِ مَلَائِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَمَلَائِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ فَقَالَتْ مَلَائِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ جَاءَنَا تَائِبًا مُقْبِلًا بِقَلْبِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا وَقَالَتْ مَلَائِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ فَأَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فِي صُورَةِ آدَمِيٍّ فَجَعَلُوهُ بَيْنَهُمْ فقَالَ قِيسُوا مَا بَيْنَ الْأَرْضَيْنِ أَيُّهُمَا كَانَ أَقْرَبَ فَهِيَ لَهُ فَقَاسُوهُ فَوَجَدُوهُ أَدْنَى إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَرَادَ فَقَبَضَتْهُ بِهَا مَلَائِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Remorse is repentance." He (the person being addressed) said, "Yes."  

سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «النَّدَمُ تَوْبَةٌ»؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "There was a man among the children of Israel who killed ninety-nine people. Then he went out seeking repentance and came across a monk. He asked him if there was any chance for repentance for him. The monk replied, 'No,' so he killed him. He continued asking and was directed to a certain village. However, death overtook him before he could reach it. So, the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment disputed over him. Allah then inspired to them to measure the distance between him and the two villages. The village he intended to reach was found closer to him by a hand-span, so he was forgiven."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجُلٌ قَتَلَ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ إِنْسَانًا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَسْأَلُ فَأَتَى رَاهِبًا فَسَأَلَهُ هَلْ لَهُ مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ؟ قَالَ لَا فَقَتَلَهُ وَجَعَلَ يَسْأَلُ فقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ ائْتِ قَرْيَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَمَاتَ فَاخْتَصَمَتْ فِيهِ مَلَائِكَةُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَمَلَائِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَى هَذِهِ تَقَرَّبِي وَإِلَى هَذِهِ تَبَاعَدِي فَوُجِدَ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى هَذِهِ بِشِبْرٍ فَغُفِرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "The likeness of a believer and the likeness of faith is like a horse tied to its stake, roaming freely and then returning to its stake. And indeed, a believer slips and then returns to faith. So feed your food to the righteous and treat the believers kindly."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَمَثَلُ الْإِيمَانِ كَمَثَلِ الْفَرَسِ فِي آخِيَّتِهِ يَجُولُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى آخِيَّتِهِ وَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَسْهُو ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ فَأَطْعِمُوا طَعَامَكُمُ الْأَتْقِيَاءَ وَوَلُّوا مَعْرُوفَكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than one of you who finds his lost camel in a vast desert."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اللَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ يَسْتَيْقِظُ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ أَضَلَّهُ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَاةٍ»  

"Allah is more pleased with the repentance of one of you that a man in a desolate, barren, destructive wasteland, who has his mount carrying his provisions, his food, and his drink and what he needs with him. Then it wanders away. So he goes to find it until he is on the brink of death. He says: 'I will return to the place where I lost it, to die.' So he returns to his place and his eyes become heavy (falling asleep). Then he awakens to find his mount at his head carrying his food, drink and what he needs." Other chains report similar narrations. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2498)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اللَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ بِأَرْضٍ دَوِّيَّةٍ مَهْلَكَةٍ وَمَعَهُ رَاحِلَتُهُ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَطَعَامُهُ وَمَا يُصْلِحُهُ فَأَضَلَّهَا فَخَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِهَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِي فَأَمُوتُ فِيهِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ الَّذِي أَضَلَّهَا فِيهِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ غَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَإِذَا رَاحِلَتُهُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ عَلَيْهَا زَادُهُ وَمَا يُصْلِحُهُ فَاللَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ»  

[Machine] "On the authority of Allah, the Exalted and High, who said: 'O my servants, I have forbidden oppression upon myself, and I have made it forbidden among you, so do not oppress one another. O my servants, all of you are astray except for those whom I have guided, so seek guidance from me and I will guide you. O my servants, all of you are hungry except for those whom I have fed, so seek food from me and I will feed you. O my servants, all of you are naked except for those whom I have clothed, so seek clothing from me and I will clothe you. O my servants, you commit sins by day and by night, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness from me and I will forgive you.'" (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ «يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَجَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا فَلَا تَظَّالَمُوا يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَأَنَا الَّذِي أَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ وَلَا أُبَالِي»  

[Machine] Ibn Umar, tell us about the most amazing thing you saw from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He remained silent for a while and then said, "One night, Aisha asked me, 'O Ibn Umar, can you let me worship my Lord tonight?' I said, 'By Allah, I love being close to you and I love what makes you happy.' He then got up and performed ablution, and then he stood to pray. Aisha said, 'He kept crying until his tears wetted his garment.' She added, 'Then he cried even more until his tears reached his beard.' She further said, 'He continued crying even more until his tears flowed on the ground.' Bilal came to announce the prayer and when the Prophet saw him, he cried even more." Bilal asked him, "O Messenger of Allah, why do you cry while Allah has forgiven your past and future sins?" The Prophet replied, "Shouldn't I be a grateful servant? Tonight, an Ayah was revealed to me that says, 'Woe unto the person who recites the verse and does not reflect upon it: Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth...' The entire verse."

Note: Some interpret the end of the verse as "there are signs for those who reflect" rather than "the entire verse."  

ابْنُ عُمَيْرٍ أَخْبِرِينَا بِأَعْجَبِ شَيْءٍ رَأَيْتِهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَسَكَتَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةٌ مِنَ اللَّيَالِي قَالَ «يَا عَائِشَةُ ذَرِينِي أَتَعَبَّدُ اللَّيْلَةَ لِرَبِّي» قُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ قُرْبَكَ وَأُحِبُّ مَا سَرَّكَ قَالَتْ فَقَامَ فَتَطَهَّرَ ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَبْكِي حَتَّى بَلَّ حِجْرَهُ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ بَكَى فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَبْكِي حَتَّى بَلَّ لِحْيَتَهُ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ بَكَى فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَبْكِي حَتَّى بَلَّ الْأَرْضَ فَجَاءَ بِلَالٌ يُؤْذِنُهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ يَبْكِي قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَ تَبْكِي وَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ؟ قَالَ «أَفَلَا أَكُونُ عَبْدًا شَكُورًا لَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيَّ اللَّيْلَةَ آيَةٌ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ قَرَأَهَا وَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرْ فِيهَا {إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ }» الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا  

[Machine] They mentioned joy in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so they mentioned a lost sheep that is found by a man. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah is more pleased with the repentance of one of you who finds his lost sheep in the barren land."  

ذَكَرُوا الْفَرَحَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرُوا الضَّالَّةَ يَجِدُهَا الرَّجُلُ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ فَرَحًا بِتَوْبَةِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الضَّالَّةِ يَجِدُهَا الرَّجُلُ بِأَرْضِ الْفَلَاةِ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "A man committed a sin and said, 'O Lord, I have committed a sin.' Or he said, 'I have done a deed, so forgive me.' Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, replied, 'My servant has committed a sin and he knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. I have forgiven my servant.' Then the man committed another sin or did another deed and said, 'O Lord, I have committed a sin. So forgive me.' And Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, replied, 'My servant has committed a sin and he knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. I have forgiven my servant.' Then the man committed another sin or did another deed and said, 'O Lord, I have committed a sin. So forgive me.' And Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, replied, 'My servant has committed a sin and he knows that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for them. I have forgiven my servant. I bear witness to you all that I have forgiven my servant, so let him do whatever he wants."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا فقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَذْنَبْتُ ذَنْبًا أَوْ قَالَ عَمِلْتُ عَمَلًا فَاغْفِرْ لِي فقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَبْدِي عَمِلَ ذَنْبًا فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِهِ قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي ثُمَّ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ أَوْ قَالَ عَمِلَ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي عَمِلْتُ ذَنْبًا فَاغْفِرْ لِي فقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلِمَ عَبْدِي أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِهِ قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي ثُمَّ عَمِلَ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ أَوْ أَذْنَبَ ذَنْبًا آخَرَ فقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي عَمِلْتُ ذَنْبًا فَاغْفِرْ لِي فقَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلِمَ عَبْدِي أَنَّ لَهُ رَبًّا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِهِ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي فَلْيَعْمَلْ مَا شَاءَ»  

[Machine] I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a hadith that Allah will benefit me with whatever He wills to benefit me until Abu Bakr narrated to me. Whenever Abu Bakr narrated to me about the Prophet ﷺ from some of his companions, I would request him to take an oath. If he took an oath, I would believe him. And Abu Bakr narrated to me and Abu Bakr also believed in the Prophet ﷺ when he said, "No servant commits a sin and then performs ablution and prays two units of prayer and seeks forgiveness from Allah for that sin, except that Allah will forgive him."  

سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا يَنْفَعُنِي اللَّهُ بِمَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَنْفَعَنِي حَتَّى حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَكَانَ إِذَا حَدَّثَنِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ اسْتَحْلَفْتُهُ فَإِنْ حَلَفَ صَدَّقْتُهُ وَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَصَدَّقَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُذْنِبُ ذَنْبًا ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ لِذَلِكَ الذَّنْبِ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ»  

[Machine] "From 'Urwah or Sa'id or both of them, it is narrated that Hameed had doubts regarding Aisha, who reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, 'O Aisha, if you committed a sin, seek forgiveness from Allah and repent, for when a servant commits a sin and then seeks forgiveness from Allah, Allah forgives him.'"  

عَنْ عُرْوَةَ أَوْ سَعِيدٍ أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا شَكَّ حَامِدٌ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهَا «يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنْ كُنْتِ أَلْمَمْتِ بِذَنْبٍ فَاسْتَغْفِرِي اللَّهَ وَتُوبِي فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, regarding what he narrates from his Lord, the Exalted and Mighty, who said: "My servant has committed a sin and he said, 'O Lord, I have sinned.' So Allah said, 'My servant has committed a sin.' Then he knew that Allah forgives sins and takes account of sins. Then he returned and sinned again, and said, 'O Lord, I have sinned.' So Allah said, 'My servant has committed a sin.' And he knew that his Lord forgives sins and takes account of sins. He can do whatever he wishes, for I have indeed forgiven him."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيمَا يَحْكِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي ذَنْبًا فقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَذْنَبْتُ فقَالَ أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي ذَنْبًا فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِالذُّنُوبِ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَأَذْنَبَ فقَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَذْنَبْتُ فقَالَ أَذْنَبَ عَبْدِي وَعَلِمَ أَنَّ رَبَّهُ يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ وَيَأْخُذُ بِالذَّنْبِ اعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَقَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "Verily, Allah forgives His servant as long as the veil does not occur." It was asked, "What is the veil?" He said, "That the soul dies while associating partners with Allah."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ لِعَبْدِهِ مَا لَمْ يَقَعِ الْحِجَابُ» قِيلَ وَمَا يَقَعُ الْحِجَابُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَمُوتَ النَّفْسُ وَهِيَ مُشْرِكَةٌ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, Allah forgives His servant as long as he does not commit shirk (associating partners with Allah).' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is the occurrence of shirk?' He said, 'When a person dies while still committing shirk.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ لِعَبْدِهِ مَا لَمْ يَقَعِ الْحِجَابُ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا وُقُوعُ الْحِجَابِ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَمُوتَ النَّفْسُ وَهِيَ مُشْرِكَةٌ»  

“Allah accepts the repentance of His slave so long as the death rattle has not yet reached his throat.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4253)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةَ الْعَبْدِ مَا لَمْ يُغَرْغِرْ»  

He who seeks repentance (from the Lord) before the rising of the sun from the west (before the Day of Resurrection), Allah turns to him with Mercy. (Using translation from Muslim 2703)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَابَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ»  

No Muslim would die but Allah would admit in his stead a Jew or a Christian in Hell-Fire. 'Umar b. Abd al-'Aziz took an oath: By One besides Whom there is no god but He, thrice that his father had narrated that to him from Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Muslim 2767b)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَمُوتُ رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَ اللَّهُ مَكَانَهُ النَّارَ يَهُودِيًّا أَوْ نَصْرَانِيًّا» قَالَ فَاسْتَحْلَفَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَحَلَفَ فَلَمْ يُحَدِّثْنِي سَعِيدٌ أَنَّهُ اسْتَحْلَفَهُ وَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ عَلَى عَوْنٍ قَوْلَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Regret is repentance." He ﷺ said, "Yes."  

أَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «النَّدَمُ تَوْبَةٌ»؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ  

[Machine] Regarding the Prophet (PBUH), he said, "Regret is repentance."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «النَّدَمُ تَوْبَةٌ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Having good thoughts about others is part of worshipping well."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «حُسْنُ الظَّنِّ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْعِبَادَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Two men will come out of the Fire, and they will be presented to Allah. Then, they will be commanded to enter the Fire, but one of them will turn and say, 'O Lord, what is this to me? It was my hope that You would not return me to it.' Allah will say, 'What was your hope?' The man will say, 'My hope was that when You took me out of it, You would not return me to it.' So Allah will have mercy on him and admit him into Paradise."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَخْرُجُ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ النَّارِ فَيُعْرَضَانِ عَلَى اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُؤْمَرُ بِهِمَا إِلَى النَّارِ فَيَلْتَفِتُ أَحَدُهُمَا فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا كَانَ هَذَا رَجَائِي قَالَ وَمَا كَانَ رَجَاؤُكَ؟ قَالَ كَانَ رَجَائِي إِذْ أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنْهَا أَنْ لَا تُعِيدَنِي فَيَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "Allah the Exalted said, 'I am as My servant thinks I am. So let him think of Me as he wishes.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي فَلْيَظُنَّ بِي مَا شَاءَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ talking about Allah Almighty, saying, "I am as My servant thinks I am, so let him think of Me as he wishes."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي فَلْيَظُنَّ بِي مَا شَاءَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying about Allah, the Majestic and Exalted, "I am as My servant thinks of Me, so let him think of Me however he wishes."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي فَلْيَظُنَّ بِي مَا شَاءَ»  

I heard Allah's Apostle ﷺ as saying three days before his death: None of you should court death but only hoping good from Allah (Using translation from Muslim 2877a)  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِثَلَاثٍ «لَا يَمُوتَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُحْسِنُ بِاللَّهِ الظَّنَّ»  

[Machine] "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying three things before his death: 'Whoever among you can, should die with the belief that Allah is good, let him do so.'"  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِثَلَاثٍ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ لَا يَمُوتَ إِلَّا وَظَنُّهُ بِاللَّهِ حَسَنٌ فَلْيَفْعَلْ»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say three days before his death: No one of you dies but he had good faith in Allah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3113)   

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِثَلَاثٍ «لَا يَمُوتَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُحْسِنُ الظَّنَّ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "Indeed, Allah, the Exalted and Sublime, says, 'I am as My servant thinks of Me. If he thinks good of Me, he will have it. And if he thinks evil of Me, he will have it.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يَقُولُ أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي إِنْ ظَنَّ خَيْرًا فَلَهُ وَإِنْ ظَنَّ شَرًّا فَلَهُ»  

from the Prophet ﷺ narrating from his Lord ﷻ who said, "By My Might, I neither combine two fears within My servant nor two securities. If he is fearful of Me in this world, I secure him on the Day of Judgement, and if he feels secure from Me in this world, I instill fear in him on the Day of Judgement.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ يَرْوِي عَنْ رَبِّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «وَعِزَّتِي لَا أَجْمَعُ عَلَى عَبْدِي خَوْفَيْنِ وَأَمْنَيْنِ: إِذَا خَافَنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا أَمَّنْتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَإِذَا أَمِنَنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا أَخَفْتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ۔»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "Allah, the Most High, says: 'I am as my servant thinks of Me. If he thinks good of Me, he will have it, and if he thinks ill of Me, he will have it'."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي إِنْ ظَنَّ خَيْرًا وَإِنْ ظَنَّ شَرًّا»  

Abdullah b. Qais reported from Messenger of Allah ﷺ that none is more forbearing in listening to the most irksome things than Allah, the Exalted. They associate rivals with him, attribute sonhood to Him, but in spite of this He provides them sustenance, grants them safety, confers upon them so many things. (Using translation from Muslim 2804c)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا أَحَدٌ أَصْبَرَ عَلَى أَذًى يَسْمَعُهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ يَجْعَلُونَ لَهُ نِدًّا وَيَجْعَلُونَ لَهُ وَلَدًا وَهُوَ فِي ذَلِكَ يَرْزُقُهُمْ وَيُعَافِيهِمْ وَيُعْطِيهِمْ»  

[Machine] "The mother of Al-A'laa, you have been good to the father of Sa'ib in Paradise. The Prophet of Allah ﷺ heard her and said, 'Who is this?' She said, 'It is me, O Messenger of Allah.' He asked, 'And how do you know that?' She said, 'O Messenger of Allah, it is Uthman bin Mazh'un.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Indeed, Uthman bin Mazh'un, we have never seen him except as good. Here I am, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and by Allah, I do not know what will be done to me.'"  

أُمُّ الْعَلَاءِ طِبْتَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَسَمِعَهَا نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فقَالَ «مَنْ هَذِهِ»؟ فَقَالَتْ أَنَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ «وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ»؟ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَجَلْ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ مَا رَأَيْنَاهُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا وَهَا أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا يُصْنَعُ بِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I warn you of the Fire, I warn you of the Fire, I warn you of the Fire," until even if he was in this place of mine (referring to the speaker's location) and it was in Kufa, the people of the market would hear it until a garment that was on his shoulders would fall onto his feet.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُنْذِرُكُمُ النَّارَ أُنْذِرُكُمُ النَّارَ أُنْذِرُكُمُ النَّارَ» حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا وَهُوَ بِالْكُوفَةِ سَمِعَهُ أَهْلُ السُّوقِ حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ خَمِيصَةٌ كَانَتْ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man will hold onto his father's hand on the Day of Resurrection, desiring to enter him into Paradise, but it will be announced that no polytheist shall enter it. So the man will say, 'O Lord, who is my father?' Allah will say in reply, 'He will be transformed into an ugly form and emit a foul smell, and then he will be left.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَأْخُذُ رَجُلٌ بِيَدِ أَبِيهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَيُنَادَى أَلَا إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا مُشْرِكٌ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ أَبِي قَالَ فَيُحَوَّلُ فِي صُورَةٍ قَبِيحَةٍ وَرِيحٍ مُنْتِنَةٍ فَيَتْرُكُهُ»  

[Machine] When this verse was revealed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered the Quraysh and said, "O people of Quraysh, save yourselves from the Fire, for I have no power to benefit or harm you." He said the same to the Banu Abd Manaf and the Banu Abd al-Muttalib. Then he said, "O Fatimah bint Muhammad ﷺ , save yourself from the Fire, for I have no power to benefit or harm you except that I will intercede on your behalf."  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ} جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قُرَيْشًا فقَالَ «يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ أَنْقِذُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ فَإِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا» وَلِبَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَلِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَنْقِذِي نَفْسَكِ مِنَ النَّارِ فَإِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكِ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا إِلَّا أَنَّ لَكِ رَحِمًا سَأَبُلُّهَا بِبَلَالِهَا»  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him to Yemen, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out with him, and Mu'adh was riding, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was under his camel. When he finished, he said, "O Mu'adh, you may not see me after this year. It is possible that you pass by my mosque and my grave." Mu'adh cried humbly for parting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards Madinah and said, "My family members see themselves as the most deserving of me, but the most deserving of me are the people who fear Allah, wherever they may be. O Allah, I do not allow their corruption after You have set them right, and by Allah, they are sufficient for my Ummah in their religion, as a container is sufficient in a large expanse of land."  

لَمَّا بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُوصِيهِ مُعَاذٌ رَاكِبٌ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَحْتَ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ إِنَّكَ عَسَى أَنْ لَا تَلْقَانِي بَعْدَ عَامِي هَذَا لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَمُرَّ بِمَسْجِدِي وَقَبْرِي» فَبَكَى مُعَاذٌ خَشَعًا لِفِرَاقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَحْوَ الْمَدِينَةِ فقَالَ «إِنَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي هَؤُلَاءِ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِي وَإِنَّ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِي الْمُتَّقُونَ مَنْ كَانُوا حَيْثُ كَانُوا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أُحِلُّ لَهُمْ فَسَادَ مَا أَصْلَحْتَ وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَيَكْفَؤُونَ أُمَّتِي عَنْ دِينِهَا كَمَا يُكْفَأُ الْإِنَاءُ فِي الْبَطْحَاءِ»  

[Machine] It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, who is the most honorable among the people?" He said, "The most righteous of them." They said, "We are not asking about this." He said, "Then why do you ask me about the origins of the Arabs? The best of you are the best in Islam when they have understanding."  

قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَكْرَمُ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَ «أَتْقَاهُمْ» قَالُوا لَسْنَا عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ قَالَ «فَعَنْ مَعَادِنِ الْعَرَبِ تَسْأَلُونَنِي؟ خِيَارُكُمْ خِيَارُكُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقِهُوا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Among those who came before you, there was a man to whom Allah bestowed wealth and children. When death approached him, he gathered his children and asked them, 'What kind of father was I to you?' They replied, 'You were the best of fathers.' He said, 'By Allah, I have never cherished anything more in the sight of Allah than you. And indeed, your Lord will punish me for it. Now, when I die, burn my body, then crush it, and scatter the ashes into an extremely windy day.' Allah commanded the wind, and when the Day of Resurrection comes and the man is standing, he will be asked, 'What made you do what you did?' He will reply, 'Out of fear of You, O Allah.' And Allah will say, 'By My might and majesty, I have forgiven him.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَانَ فِيمَنْ سَلَفَ مِنَ النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ رَغَسَهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ جَمَعَ بَنِيهِ فقَالَ أَيَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا خَيْرَ أَبٍ فقَالَ إِنَّهُ وَاللَّهِ مَا ابْتَأَرَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرًا قَطُّ وَإِنَّ رَبَّهُ يُعَذِّبُهُ فَإِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اسْحَقُونِي ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي رِيحٍ عَاصِفٍ قَالَ اللَّهُ كُنْ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ قَالَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ قَالَ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنْ يَلْقَاهُ غَيْرَ أَنْ غُفِرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There was a man among those who came before you who never did anything good in the sight of Allah. When he was on his deathbed, he said to his children, 'Oh my children, what kind of father was I to you?' They replied, 'You were the best father.' He then said, 'When I die, burn me and grind me into powder. Then scatter me on a stormy day.' After his death, his requests were carried out. Allah asked him, 'My servant, what made you do what you did?' He replied, 'Out of fear of You, O Lord.' Allah said, 'I have forgiven him for that.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَانَ رَجُلٌ فِيمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ لَمْ يَبْتَئِرْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرًا قَطُّ قَالَ لِبَنِيهِ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ يَا بَنِيَّ أَيَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ؟ قَالُوا خَيْرَ أَبٍ قَالَ فَإِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَاحْرَقُونِي واسْحَقُونِي فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي يَوْمِ رِيحٍ عَاصِفٍ فَذُرُّونِي قَالَ فَمَاتَ فَفُعِلَ بِهِ ذَلِكَ فقَالَ لَهُ كُنْ فَكَانَ كَأَسْرَعِ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ الْعَيْنِ فقَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عَبْدِي مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ؟ فقَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ أَيْ رَبِّ قَالَ فَمَا تَلَافَاهُ أَنْ غُفِرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ said: "A man who used to give people news passed away. He told his son, 'Burn me, then crush my ashes and scatter me in the wind.' He was asked, 'What did you do?' He said, 'I did it out of fear of you, O Lord.' So Allah forgave him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ نَبَّاشًا فقَالَ لِوَلَدِهِ احْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اسْحَقُونِي فَذُرُّونِي فِي الرِّيحِ فَسُئِلَ مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ يَا رَبِّ قَالَ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] Regarding the Prophet ﷺ when the matter was decided while they were in neglect, he said, "in the worldly life."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ {إِذْ قُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ وَهُمْ فِي غَفْلَةٍ} قَالَ «فِي الدُّنْيَا»  

Behold, my Lord commanded me that I should teach you which you do not know and which He has taught me today. (He has instructed thus): The property which I have conferred upon them is lawful for them. I have created My servants as one having a natural inclination to the worship of Allah but it is Satan who turns them away from the right religion and he makes unlawful what has been declared lawful for them and he commands them to ascribe partnership with Me, although he has no justification for that. And verily, Allah looked towards the people of the world and He showed hatred for the Arabs and the non-Arabs, but with the exception of some remnants from the People of the Book. And He (further) said: I have sent thee (the Holy Prophet) in order to put you to test and put (those to test) through you. And I sent the Book to you which cannot be washed away by water, so that you may recite it while in the state of wakefulness or sleep. Verily, Allah commanded me to burn (kill) the Quraish. I said: My Lord, they would break my head (like the tearing) of bread, and Allah said: You turn them out as they turned you out, you fight against them and We shall help you in this, you should spend and you would be conferred upon. You send an army and I would send an army five times greater than that. Fight against those who disobey you along with those who obey you. The inmates of Paradise are three: One who wields authority and is just and fair, one who Is truthful and has been endowed with power to do good deeds. And the person who is merciful and kind hearted towards his relatives and to every pious Muslim, and one who does not stretch his hand in spite of having a large family to support. And He said: The inmates of Hell are five: the weak who lack power to (avoid evil), the (carefree) who pursue (everything irrespective of the fact that it is good or evil) and who do not have any care for their family or for their wealth. And those dishonest whose greed cannot be concealed even in the case of minor things. And the third. who betray you. morning and evening, in regard to your family and your property. He also made a mention of the miser and the liar and those who are in the habit of abusing people and using obscene and foul language. Abu Ghassan in his narration did not make mention of" Spend and there would be spent for you." (Using translation from Muslim 2865a)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكُمْ مَا جَهِلْتُمْ مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِي يَوْمِي هَذَا إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَنْحَلْتُهُ عَبْدِي حَلَالٌ وَإِنِّي خَلَقْتُ عِبَادِي حُنَفَاءَ كُلَّهُمْ وَإِنَّهُ أَتَتْهُمُ الشَّيَاطِينُ فَاجْتَالَتْهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِمْ وَحَرَّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا أَحْلَلْتُ لَهُمْ فَأَمَرَتْهُمْ أَنْ يُشْرِكُوا بِي مَا لَمْ أُنْزِلْ بِهِ سُلْطَانًا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَمَقَتَهُمْ عَرَبَهُمْ وَعَجَمَهُمْ غَيْرَ بَقَايَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّمَا بَعَثْتُكَ لِأَبْتَلِيَكَ وَأَبْتَلِيَ بِكَ وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكَ كِتَابًا لَا يَغْسِلُهُ الْمَاءُ تَقْرَؤُهُ يَقْظَانَ وَنَائِمًا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُخْبِرَ قُرَيْشًا فَقُلْتُ إِذًا يَثْلَغُوا رَأْسِي فَيَتْرُكُوهُ خُبْزَةً قَالَ فَاسْتَخْرِجْهُمْ كَمَا اسْتَخْرَجُوكَ وَاغْزُهُمْ يَسْتَغْزُوكَ وَأَنْفِقْ يُنْفَقْ عَلَيْكَ وَابْعَثْ جَيْشًا نَبْعَثْ خَمْسَةً أَمْثَالَهُمْ وَقَاتِلْ بِمَنْ أَطَاعَكَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ وَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ ثَلَاثَةٌ إِمَامٌ مُقْسِطٌ مُصَدِّقٌ مُوَفَّقٌ وَرَجُلٌ رَحِيمٌ رَقِيقُ الْقَلْبِ بِكُلِّ ذِي قُرْبَى وَمُسْلِمٍ وَرَجُلٌ عَفِيفٌ فَقِيرٌ مُصَّدِّقٌ وَ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ خَمْسَةٌ رَجُلٌ جَائِرٌ لَا يَخْفَى لَهُ طَمَعٌ وَإِنْ دَقَّ وَرَجُلٌ لَا يُمْسِي وَلَا يُصْبِحُ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُخَادِعُكَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ وَالضَّعِيفُ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِيكُمْ تَبَعٌ لَا يَبْغُونَ أَهْلًا وَلَا مَالًا» فقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَمِنَ الْمَوَالِي هُوَ أَوْ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ؟ قَالَ هُوَ التَّابِعَةُ يَكُونُ لِلرَّجُلِ فَيُصِيبُ مِنْ حُرْمَتِهِ سِفَاحًا غَيْرَ نِكَاحٍ وَالشِّنْظِيرُ الْفَاحِشُ وَذَكَرَ الْبُخْلَ وَالْكَذِبَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and said, "Verily, Allah, Mighty and Majestic has commanded me to teach you what He has taught me today. He said to me, 'Indeed, I have created My servants upright, all of them. And whatever I have made lawful for them, it is for them. And indeed, the devils have come to them, diverting them from their religion and prohibiting for them what I have made lawful. And they have been commanded to associate partners with Me for which I have not sent any authority. And indeed, Allah approached the people of the Earth before He sent me, so their Arabs and non-Arabs were equal except for remnants of the People of the Book. And He said to me, 'I have revealed a Book that cannot be washed away by water. So, read it while sleeping and awake.' And indeed, Allah has commanded me to inform the Quraysh. I said, 'Which Lord should I inform them of?' He said, 'The One who provided you with food, and made you walk barefoot.' And He said to me, 'Expel them as they expelled you, and fight them as they fight you. And spend, and We shall spend on you. And send an army, and We shall send five times that. And fight with those who obey you, and turn away from those who disobey you.'"  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكُمْ مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِي يَوْمِي هَذَا وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي إِنِّي خَلَقْتُ عِبَادِي حُنَفَاءَ كُلَّهُمْ وَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا أَنْحَلْتُ عِبَادِي فَهُوَ لَهُمْ حَلَالٌ وَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ أَتَتْهُمْ فَاجْتَالَتْهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِمْ وَحَرَّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الَّذِي أَحْلَلْتُ لَهُمْ وَأَمَرَتْهُمْ أَنْ يُشْرِكُوا بِي مَا لَمْ أُنْزِلْ بِهِ سُلْطَانًا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَتَى أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَنِي فَمَقَتَهُمْ عَرَبَهُمْ وَعَجَمَهُمْ إِلَّا بَقَايَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي قَدْ أَنْزَلْتُ كِتَابًا لَا يَغْسِلُهُ الْمَاءُ فَاقْرَأْهُ نَائِمًا وَيَقْظَانَ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُخْبِرَ قُرَيْشًا وَإِنِّي قُلْتُ أَيْ رَبِّ إِذًا يَثْلَغُوا رَأْسِي فَيَدَعُوهُ خُبْزَةً وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لِي اسْتَخْرِجْهُمْ كَمَا اسْتَخْرَجُوكَ وَاغْزُهُمْ يَسْتَغْزُونَكَ وَأَنْفِقْ نُنْفِقْ عَلَيْكَ وَابْعَثْ جَيْشًا نَبْعَثْ خَمْسَةَ أَمْثَالِهِ وَقَاتِلْ بِمَنْ أَطَاعَكَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ very often used to ask his companions, "Did anyone of you see a dream?" So dreams would be narrated to him by those whom Allah wished to tell. One morning the Prophet ﷺ said, "Last night two persons came to me (in a dream) and woke me up and said to me, 'Proceed!' I set out with them and we came across a man lying down, and behold, another man was standing over his head, holding a big rock. Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man's head, injuring it. The rock rolled away and the thrower followed it and took it back. By the time he reached the man, his head returned to the normal state. The thrower then did the same as he had done before. I said to my two companions, 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They said, 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came to a man lying flat on his back and another man standing over his head with an iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side of the man's mouth and tear off that side of his face to the back (of the neck) and similarly tear his nose from front to back and his eye from front to back. Then he turned to the other side of the man's face and did just as he had done with the other side. He hardly completed this side when the other side returned to its normal state. Then he returned to it to repeat what he had done before. I said to my two companions, 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They said to me, 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came across something like a Tannur (a kind of baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking bread)." I think the Prophet ﷺ said, "In that oven there was much noise and voices." The Prophet ﷺ added, "We looked into it and found naked men and women, and behold, a flame of fire was reaching to them from underneath, and when it reached them, they cried loudly. I asked them, 'Who are these?' They said to me, 'Proceed!' And so we proceeded and came across a river." I think he said, ".... red like blood." The Prophet ﷺ added, "And behold, in the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank there was a man who had collected many stones. Behold, while the other man was swimming, he went near him. The former opened his mouth and the latter (on the bank) threw a stone into his mouth whereupon he went swimming again. He returned and every time the performance was repeated. I asked my two companions, 'Who are these (two) persons?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' And we proceeded till we came to a man with a repulsive appearance, the most repulsive appearance, you ever saw a man having! Beside him there was a fire and he was kindling it and running around it. I asked my companions, 'Who is this (man)?' They said to me, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we reached a garden of deep green dense vegetation, having all sorts of spring colors. In the midst of the garden there was a very tall man and I could hardly see his head because of his great height, and around him there were children in such a large number as I have never seen. I said to my companions, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we came to a majestic huge garden, greater and better than I have ever seen! My two companions said to me, 'Go up' and I went up. The Prophet ﷺ added, "So we ascended till we reached a city built of gold and silver bricks and we went to its gate and asked (the gatekeeper) to open the gate, and it was opened and we entered the city and found in it, men with one side of their bodies as handsome as the handsomest person you have ever seen, and the other side as ugly as the ugliest person you have ever seen. My two companions ordered those men to throw themselves into the river. Behold, there was a river flowing across (the city), and its water was like milk in whiteness. Those men went and threw themselves in it and then returned to us after the ugliness (of their bodies) had disappeared and they became in the best shape." The Prophet ﷺ further added, "My two companions (angels) said to me, 'This place is the Eden Paradise, and that is your place.' I raised up my sight, and behold, there I saw a palace like a white cloud! My two companions said to me, 'That (palace) is your place.' I said to them, 'May Allah bless you both! Let me enter it.' They replied, 'As for now, you will not enter it, but you shall enter it (one day). I said to them, 'I have seen many wonders tonight. What does all that mean which I have seen?' They replied, 'We will inform you: As for the first man you came upon whose head was being injured with the rock, he is the symbol of the one who studies the Qur'an and then neither recites it nor acts on its orders, and sleeps, neglecting the enjoined prayers. As for the man you came upon whose sides of mouth, nostrils and eyes were torn off from front to back, he is the symbol of the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells so many lies that it spreads all over the world. And those naked men and women whom you saw in a construction resembling an oven, they are the adulterers and the adulteresses. And the man whom you saw swimming in the river and given a stone to swallow, is the eater of usury (Riba). And the bad looking man whom you saw near the fire kindling it and going round it, is Malik, the gatekeeper of Hell. And the tall man whom you saw in the garden, is Abraham and the children around him are those children who die with Al-Fitra (the Islamic Faith). The narrator added: Some Muslims asked the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What about the children of pagans?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "And also the children of pagans." The Prophet ﷺ added, "My two companions added, 'The men you saw half handsome and half ugly were those persons who had mixed an act that was good with another that was bad, but Allah forgave them.'"

If a believer were to know the punishment (in Hell) none would have the audacity to aspire for Paradise (but he would earnestly desire to be rescued from Hell), and if a non-believer were to know what is there with Allah as a mercy. none would have been disappointed in regard to Paradise. (Using translation from Muslim 2755)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْعُقُوبَةِ مَا طَمِعَ بِجَنَّتِهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْكَافِرُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ مَا قَنَطَ مِنْ جَنَّتِهِ أَحَدٌ»
