Beginning of Creation
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 413:
Narrated 'Imran bin
Husain:
Some people of Bani Tamim
came to the Prophet and he said (to them), "O Bani Tamim! rejoice with
glad tidings." They said, "You have given us glad tidings, now give us
something." On hearing that the color of his face changed then the
people of Yemen came to him and he said, "O people of Yemen ! Accept
the good tidings, as Bani Tamim has refused them." The Yemenites said,
"We accept them. Then the Prophet started taking about the beginning
of creation and about Allah's Throne. In the mean time a man came
saying, "O 'Imran! Your she-camel has run away!'' (I got up and went
away), but l wish I had not left that place (for I missed what Allah's
Apostle had said).
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 414:
Narrated Imran bin Husain:
I went to the Prophet and
tied my she-camel at the gate. The people of Bani Tamim came to the
Prophet who said "O Bani Tamim! Accept the good tidings." They said
twice, 'You have given us the good tidings, now give us something"
Then some Yemenites came to him and he said, "Accept the good tidings,
O people of Yemem, for Bani Tamim refused them." They said, "We accept
it, O Allah's Apostle! We have come to ask you about this matter (i.e.
the start of creations)." He said, "First of all, there was nothing
but Allah, and (then He created His Throne). His throne was over the
water, and He wrote everything in the Book (in the Heaven) and created
the Heavens and the Earth." Then a man shouted, "O Ibn Husain! Your
she-camel has gone away!" So, I went away and could not see the
she-camel because of the mirage. By Allah, I wished I had left that
she-camel (but not that gathering).
Narrated 'Umar: One day
the Prophet stood up amongst us for a long period and informed us
about the beginning of creation (and talked about everything in
detail) till he mentioned how the people of Paradise will enter their
places and the people of Hell will enter their places. Some remembered
what he had said, and some forgot it.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Allah the Most Superior said, "The son of Adam slights Me, and he
should not slight Me, and he disbelieves in Me, and he ought not to do
so. As for his slighting Me, it is that he says that I have a son; and
his disbelief in Me is his statement that I shall not recreate him as
I have created (him) before."

from Abu Salama bin 'Abdur-Rahman
who had a dispute with some people on a piece of land, and so he went

land, for Allah's Apostle said, 'Any person who takes even a span of
land unjustly, his neck shall be encircled with it down seven earths.'
"

division of time has turned to its original form which was current
when Allah created the Heavens and the Earths. The year is of twelve
months, out of which four months are sacred: Three are in succession

ban."

unjustly, his neck will be encircled with it down seven earths on the
Day of Resurrection."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 421:
Narrated Abu Dhar:
The Prophet asked me at
sunset, "Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?" I
replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "It goes (i.e.
travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes the
permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will
come when) it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration
will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course
but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence
it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the
interpretation of the Statement of Allah: "And the sun Runs its fixed
course For a term (decreed). that is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted
in Might, The All-Knowing." (36.38)
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 422:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
The Prophet said, "The
sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's death or wife
(i.e. birth), but they are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah. So,
if you see them (i.e. eclipse) offer the Prayer (of eclipse)."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 424:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
The Prophet said, "The
sun and the moon are two signs amongst the Signs of Allah. They do not
eclipse because of someone's death or life. So, if you see them (i.e.
eclipse), celebrate the Praises of Allah (i.e. pray)."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 425:
Narrated 'Aisha:
On the day of a solar
eclipse, Allah's Apostle stood up (to offer the eclipse prayer). He
recited Takbir, recited a long recitation (of Holy Verses), bowed a
long bowing, and then he raised h is head saying. "Allah hears him who
sends his praises to Him." Then he stayed standing, recited a long
recitation again, but shorter than the former, bowed a long bowing,
but shorter than the first, performed a long prostration and then
performed the second Rak'a in the same way as he had done the first.
By the time he had finished his prayer with Taslim, the solar eclipse
had been over. Then he addressed the people referring to the solar and
lunar eclipses saying, "These are two signs amongst the Signs of
Allah, and they do not eclipse because of anyone's death or life. So,
if you see them, hasten for the Prayer."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 426:
Narrated Abu Mas'ud:
The Prophet said, "the
sun and the moon do not eclipse because of the death or life of

Narrated Ata:
'Aisha said If the
Prophet saw a cloud In the sky, he would walk to and fro in agitation,
go out and come in, and the color of his face would change, and if it
rained, he would feel relaxed." So 'Aisha knew that state of his. So
the Prophet said, I don't know (am afraid), it may be similar to what
happened to some people referred to in the Holy Quran in the following
Verse: -- "Then when they saw it as a dense cloud coming towards their
valleys, they said, 'This is a cloud bringing us rain!' Nay, but, it
is that (torment) which you were asking to be hastened a wind wherein
is severe torment." (46.24)
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 429:
Narrated Malik bin Sasaa:
The Prophet said, "While
I was at the House in a state midway between sleep and wakefulness,
(an angel recognized me) as the man lying between two men. A golden
tray full of wisdom and belief was brought to me and my body was cut
open from the throat to the lower part of the abdomen and then my
abdomen was washed with Zam-zam water and (my heart was) filled with
wisdom and belief. Al-Buraq, a white animal, smaller than a mule and
bigger than a donkey was brought to me and I set out with Gabriel.
When I reached the nearest heaven. Gabriel said to the heaven
gate-keeper, 'Open the gate.' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' He
said, 'Gabriel.' The gate-keeper,' Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel
said, 'Muhammad.' The gate-keeper said, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel
said, 'Yes.' Then it was said, 'He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit
his is!' Then I met Adam and greeted him and he said, 'You are
welcomed O son and a Prophet.' Then we ascended to the second heaven.
It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel said, 'Gabriel.' It was said, 'Who
is with you?' He said, 'Muhammad' It was asked, 'Has he been sent
for?' He said, 'Yes.' It was said, 'He is welcomed. What a wonderful
visit his is!" Then I met Jesus and Yahya (John) who said, 'You are
welcomed, O brother and a Prophet.' Then we ascended to the third
heaven. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel said, 'Gabriel.' It was
asked, 'Who is with you? Gabriel said, 'Muhammad.' It was asked, 'Has
he been sent for?' 'Yes,' said Gabriel. 'He is welcomed. What a
wonderful visit his is!' (The Prophet added:). There I met Joseph and
greeted him, and he replied, 'You are welcomed, O brother and a
Prophet!' Then we ascended to the 4th heaven and again the same
questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There
I met Idris and greeted him. He said, 'You are welcomed O brother and
Prophet.' Then we ascended to the 5th heaven and again the same
questions and answers were exchanged as in previous heavens. there I
met and greeted Aaron who said, 'You are welcomed O brother and a
Prophet". Then we ascended to the 6th heaven and again the same
questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There
I met and greeted Moses who said, 'You are welcomed O brother and. a
Prophet.' When I proceeded on, he started weeping and on being asked
why he was weeping, he said, 'O Lord! Followers of this youth who was
sent after me will enter Paradise in greater number than my
followers.' Then we ascended to the seventh heaven and again the same
questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There
I met and greeted Abraham who said, 'You are welcomed o son and a
Prophet.' Then I was shown Al-Bait-al-Ma'mur (i.e. Allah's House). I
asked Gabriel about it and he said, This is Al Bait-ul-Ma'mur where
70,000 angels perform prayers daily and when they leave they never
return to it (but always a fresh batch comes into it daily).' Then I
was shown Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. a tree in the seventh heaven) and I
saw its Nabk fruits which resembled the clay jugs of Hajr (i.e. a town
in Arabia), and its leaves were like the ears of elephants, and four
rivers originated at its root, two of them were apparent and two were
hidden. I asked Gabriel about those rivers and he said, 'The two
hidden rivers are in Paradise, and the apparent ones are the Nile and
the Euphrates.' Then fifty prayers were enjoined on me. I descended
till I met Moses who asked me, 'What have you done?' I said, 'Fifty
prayers have been enjoined on me.' He said, 'I know the people better
than you, because I had the hardest experience to bring Bani Israel to
obedience. Your followers cannot put up with such obligation. So,
return to your Lord and request Him (to reduce the number of prayers.'
I returned and requested Allah (for reduction) and He made it forty. I
returned and (met Moses) and had a similar discussion, and then
returned again to Allah for reduction and He made it thirty, then
twenty, then ten, and then I came to Moses who repeated the same
advice. Ultimately Allah reduced it to five. When I came to Moses
again, he said, 'What have you done?' I said, 'Allah has made it five
only.' He repeated the same advice but I said that I surrendered (to
Allah's Final Order)'" Allah's Apostle was addressed by Allah, "I have
decreed My Obligation and have reduced the burden on My slaves, and I
shall reward a single good deed as if it were ten good deeds."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 430:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin
Mus'ud:
Allah's Apostle, the true
and truly inspired said, "(The matter of the Creation of) a human
being is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and
then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a
piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is
ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down his (i.e.
the new creature's) deeds, his livelihood, his (date of) death, and
whether he will be blessed or wretched (in religion). Then the soul is
breathed into him. So, a man amongst you may do (good deeds till there
is only a cubit between him and Paradise and then what has been
written for him decides his behavior and he starts doing (evil) deeds
characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire. And similarly a man
amongst you may do (evil) deeds till there is only a cubit between him
and the (Hell) Fire, and then what has been written for him decides
his behavior, and he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people
of Paradise."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 431:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If
Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying, 'Allah loves so and-so;
O Gabriel! Love him.' Gabriel would love him and make an announcement
amongst the inhabitants of the Heaven. 'Allah loves so-and-so,
therefore you should love him also,' and so all the inhabitants of the
Heaven would love him, and then he is granted the pleasure of the
people on the earth."
Volume 4, Book 54, Number 432:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I heard Allah's Apostle

would add to it one-hundred lies of their own."

the sermon."

time of the Fajr and 'Asr prayers. Then those who have stayed with you
over-night, ascent unto Allah Who asks them, and He knows the answer
better than they, "How have you left My slaves?" They reply, "We have
left them praying as we found them praying." If anyone of you says
"Amin" (during the Prayer at the end of the recitation of
Surat-al-Faitiha), and the angels in Heaven say the same, and the two
sayings coincide, all his past sins will be forgiven."

is wrong?" He said, "What is this pillow?" I said, "I have prepared
this pillow for you, so that you may recline on it." He said, "Don't

presented myself to Ibn 'Abd-Yalail bin 'Abd-Kulal and he did not
respond to my demand. So I departed, overwhelmed with excessive
sorrow, and proceeded on, and could not relax till I found myself at
Qarnath-Tha-alib where I lifted my head towards the sky to see a cloud
shading me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw Gabriel in it. He called
me saying, 'Allah has heard your people's saying to you, and what they
have replied back to you, Allah has sent the Angel of the Mountains to
you so that you may order him to do whatever you wish to these
people.' The Angel of the Mountains called and greeted me, and then
said, "O Muhammad! Order what you wish. If you like, I will let

the sky and the earth. I was so frightened by him that I fell on the
ground and came to my family and said (to them), 'Cover me! (with a

gate (of affliction), for neither do I want to be the first to open it
(i.e. rebellion), nor will I say to a man who is my ruler that he is
the best of all the people after I have heard something from Allah s
Apostle ." They said, What have you heard him saying? He said, "I have

people of (Hell) Fire will gather around him and say: O so-and-so!

myself. Two persons came to me (in my dream) and sat, one by my head
and the other by my feet. One of them asked the other, "What is the
ailment of this man?" The other replied, 'He has been bewitched" The
first asked, 'Who has bewitched him?' The other replied, 'Lubaid bin
Al-A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What material has he used?' The other
replied, 'A comb, the hair gathered on it, and the outer skin of the
pollen of the male date-palm.' The first asked, 'Where is that?' The
other replied, 'It is in the well of Dharwan.' " So, the Prophet went
out towards the well and then returned and said to me on his return,
"Its date-palms (the date-palms near the well) are like the heads of
the devils." I asked, "Did you take out those things with which the
magic was worked?" He said, "No, for I have been cured by Allah and I
am afraid that this action may spread evil amongst the people." Later
on the well was filled up with earth.
