On the day of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is no more emigration (from Mecca)
but Jihad and intentions, and whenever you are called for Jihad, you should go immediately. No
doubt, Allah has made this place (Mecca) a sanctuary since the creation of the heavens and the earth
and will remain a sanctuary till the Day of Resurrection as Allah has ordained its sanctity. Fighting
was not permissible in it for anyone before me, and even for me it was allowed only for a portion of a
day. So, it is a sanctuary with Allah's sanctity till the Day of Resurrection. Its thorns should not be
uprooted and its game should not be chased; and its luqata (fallen things) should not be picked up
except by one who would announce that publicly, and its vegetation (grass etc.) should not be cut."
Al-`Abbas said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Except Al-Idhkhir, (for it is used by their blacksmiths and for
their domestic purposes)." So, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Except Al-Idhkhir."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 28, Hadith 14
On the authority of Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night?"
They said, "No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "Do you have any
difficulty in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They said,
"No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "So you will see Him, like that.
Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection, and say,
'Whoever worshipped something (in the world) should follow (that
thing),' so, whoever worshipped the sun will follow the sun, and
whoever worshiped the moon will follow the moon, and whoever used to
worship certain (other false) deities, he will follow those deities.
And there will remain only this nation with its good people (or its
hypocrites). (The sub-narrator, Ibrahim is in doubt.) Allah will come
to them and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will (deny Him and) say, 'We
will stay here till our Lord comes, for when our Lord comes, we will
recognize Him.' So Allah will come to them in His appearance which
they know, and will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our
Lord,' so they will follow Him.
Then a bridge will be laid across Hell (Fire)' I and my followers will
be the first ones to go across it and none will speak on that Day
except the Apostles. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day
will be, 'O Allah, save! Save!' In Hell (or over The Bridge) there
will be hooks like the thorns of As-Sa'dan (thorny plant). Have you
seen As-Sa'dan? " They replied, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "So
those hooks look like the thorns of As-Sa'dan, but none knows how big
they are except Allah. Those hooks will snap the people away according
to their deeds. Some of the people will stay in Hell (be destroyed)
because of their (evil) deeds, and some will be cut or torn by the
hooks (and fall into Hell) and some will be punished and then
relieved. When Allah has finished His Judgments among the people, He
will take whomever He will out of Hell through His Mercy. He will then
order the angels to take out of the Fire all those who used to worship
none but Allah from among those whom Allah wanted to be merciful to
and those who testified (in the world) that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah. The angels will recognize them in the Fire by
the marks of prostration (on their foreheads), for the Fire will eat
up all the human body except the mark caused by prostration as Allah
has forbidden the Fire to eat the mark of prostration. They will come
out of the (Hell) Fire, completely burnt and then the water of life
will be poured over them and they will grow under it as does a seed
that comes in the mud of the torrent.
Then Allah will finish the judgments among the people, and there will
remain one man facing the (Hell) Fire and he will be the last person
among the people of Hell to enter Paradise. He will say, 'O my Lord!
Please turn my face away from the fire because its air has hurt me and
its severe heat has burnt me.' So he will invoke Allah in the way
Allah will wish him to invoke, and then Allah will say to him, 'If I
grant you that, will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply,
'No, by Your Power, (Honor) I will not ask You for anything else.' He
will give his Lord whatever promises and covenants Allah will demand.
So Allah will turn his face away from Hell (Fire). When he will face
Paradise and will see it, he will remain quiet for as long as Allah
will wish him to remain quiet, then he will say, 'O my Lord! Bring me
near to the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say to him, 'Didn't you give
your promises and covenants that you would never ask for anything more
than what you had been given? Woe on you, O Adam's son! How
treacherous you are!' He will say, 'O my lord,' and will keep on
invoking Allah till He says to him, 'If I give what you are asking,
will you then ask for anything else?' He will reply, 'No, by Your
(Honor) Power, I will not ask for anything else.'
Then he will give covenants and promises to Allah and then Allah will
bring him near to the gate of Paradise. When he stands at the gate of
Paradise, Paradise will be opened and spread before him, and he will
see its splendor and pleasures whereupon he will remain quiet as long
as Allah will wish him to remain quiet, and then he will say, O my
Lord! Admit me into Paradise.' Allah will say, 'Didn't you give your
covenants and promises that you would not ask for anything more than
what you had been given?' Allah will say, 'Woe on you, O Adam's son!
How treacherous you are! '
The man will say, 'O my Lord! Do not make me the most miserable of
Your creation,' and he will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will
laugh because of his sayings, and when Allah will laugh because of
him, He will say to him, 'Enter Paradise,' and when he will enter it,
Allah will say to him, 'Wish for anything.' So he will ask his Lord,
and he will wish for a great number of things, for Allah Himself will
remind him to wish for certain things by saying, '(Wish for)
so-and-so.' When there is nothing more to wish for, Allah will say,
'This is for you, and its equal (is for you) as well."
'Ata' bin Yazid added: Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri who was present with Abu
Huraira, did not deny whatever the latter said, but when Abu Huraira
said that Allah had said, "That is for you and its equal as well," Abu
Sa'id Al-Khudri said, "And ten times as much, O Abu Huraira!" Abu
Huraira said, "I do not remember, except his saying, 'That is for you
and its equal as well.'" Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri then said, "I testify
that I remember the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'That is for you, and ten times as
much.' ' Abu Huraira then added, "That man will be the last person of
the people of Paradise to enter Paradise."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 97, Hadith 64
“I was with the Prophet (ﷺ),
and
a man came to him and said: ‘Last night while I was sleeping, I
saw
that I was praying towards the base of a tree. I recited (an Ayah
of)
prostration and prostrated, and the tree prostrated when I did,
and I
heard it saying: Allahummah-tut anni biha wizran, waktub li biha
ajran, waj’al-ha li ‘indaka dhukhran (O Allah, reduce my burden
of sin
thereby, reward me for it and store it for me with You).’
Ibn ‘Abbas
said: “I saw the Prophet (ﷺ) recite (an Ayah of)
prostration and
then prostrate, and I heard him saying in his
prostration something
like that which the man had told him the tree
said.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 251
