'Iyad b. Him-ar reported
that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), while delivering a
sermon one day, said: 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 Re, 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 y4Pu. 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."

These people are passing through the ordeal in the graves. If it were
not the reason that you would stop burying (your dead) in the graves
on listening to the torment in the grave which I am listening to, I
would have certainly made you hear that. Then turning his face towards
us, he said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. They
said : We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. He said:
Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. They said: We
seek refuge with Allali from the torment of the grave. He said : Seek
refuge with Allah from turmoil, its visible and invisible (aspects),

see it? But he would not see it. Thereupon Umar said: I would soon be
able to see it (when it will shine more brightly). I lay upon bed. He
then made a mention of the people of Badr to us and said: Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) showed us one day before (the actual
battle) the place of death of the people (participating) in (the
Battle) of Badr and he was saying: This would be the place of death of
so and so tomorrow, if Allah wills. Umar said: By Him Who sent him

listen and respond to you? They are dead and their bodies have
decayed. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: By Him in Whose Hand is

distinctly than they, but they lack the power to reply. Then'he
commanded that they should be buried in the well of Badr.
