Some people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He said,
"Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the sun when it is not hidden by clouds?" They
replied, "No, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He said, "Do you crowd and squeeze each other on looking at the
moon when it is full and not hidden by clouds?" They replied, No, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "So
you will see Him (your Lord) on the Day of Resurrection similarly Allah will gather all the people and
say, 'Whoever used to worship anything should follow that thing. 'So, he who used to worship the sun,
will follow it, and he who used to worship the moon will follow it, and he who used to worship false
deities will follow them; and then only this nation (i.e., Muslims) will remain, including their
hypocrites. Allah will come to them in a shape other than they know and will say, 'I am your Lord.'
They will say, 'We seek refuge with Allah from you. This is our place; (we will not follow you) till
our Lord comes to us, and when our Lord comes to us, we will recognize Him.
Then Allah will come to then in a shape they know and will say, "I am your Lord.' They will say, '(No
doubt) You are our Lord,' and they will follow Him. Then a bridge will be laid over the (Hell) Fire."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) added, "I will be the first to cross it. And the invocation of the Apostles on that Day,
will be 'Allahumma Sallim, Sallim (O Allah, save us, save us!),' and over that bridge there will be
hooks Similar to the thorns of As Sa'dan (a thorny tree). Didn't you see the thorns of As-Sa'dan?" The
companions said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." He added, "So the hooks over that bridge will be like the
thorns of As-Sa-dan except that their greatness in size is only known to Allah. These hooks will snatch
the people according to their deeds. Some people will be ruined because of their evil deeds, and some
will be cut into pieces and fall down in Hell, but will be saved afterwards, when Allah has finished the
judgments among His slaves, and intends to take out of the Fire whoever He wishes to take out from
among those who used to testify that none had the right to be worshipped but Allah.
We will order the angels to take them out and the angels will know them by the mark of the traces of
prostration (on their foreheads) for Allah banned the f ire to consume the traces of prostration on the
body of Adam's son. So they will take them out, and by then they would have burnt (as coal), and then
water, called Ma'ul Hayat (water of life) will be poured on them, and they will spring out like a seed
springs out on the bank of a rainwater stream, and there will remain one man who will be facing the
(Hell) Fire and will say, 'O Lord! It's (Hell's) vapor has Poisoned and smoked me and its flame has
burnt me; please turn my face away from the Fire.' He will keep on invoking Allah till Allah says,
'Perhaps, if I give you what you want), you will ask for another thing?' The man will say, 'No, by Your
Power, I will not ask You for anything else.'
Then Allah will turn his face away from the Fire. The man will say after that, 'O Lord, bring me near
the gate of Paradise.' Allah will say (to him), 'Didn't you promise not to ask for anything else? Woe to
you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' The man will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will
say, 'But if I give you that, you may ask me for something else.' The man will say, 'No, by Your
Power. I will not ask for anything else.' He will give Allah his covenant and promise not to ask for
anything else after that. So Allah will bring him near to the gate of Paradise, and when he sees what is
in it, he will remain silent as long as Allah will, and then he will say, 'O Lord! Let me enter Paradise.'
Allah will say, 'Didn't you promise that you would not ask Me for anything other than that? Woe to
you, O son of Adam ! How treacherous you are!' On that, the man will say, 'O Lord! Do not make me
the most wretched of Your creation,' and will keep on invoking Allah till Allah will smile and when
Allah will smile because of him, then He will allow him to enter Paradise, and when he will enter
Paradise, he will be addressed, 'Wish from so-and-so.' He will wish till all his wishes will be fulfilled,
then Allah will say, All this (i.e. what you have wished for) and as much again therewith are for you.'
"
Abu Huraira added: That man will be the last of the people of Paradise to enter (Paradise).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 81, Hadith 161
I asked A'ishah about the voluntary prayers offered by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). She replied: Before the noon prayer he would pray four rak'ahs in my house, then go out and lead the people in prayer, then return to my house and pray two rak'ahs. He would lead the people in the sunset prayer, then return to my house and pray two rak'ahs. Then he would lead the people in the night prayer, and enter my house and pray two rak'ahs. He would pray nine rak'ahs during the night, including witr (prayer). At night he would pray for a long time standing and for a long time sitting. When he recited the Quran while standing, he would bow and prostrate himself from the standing position, and when he recited while sitting, he would bow and prostrate himself from the sitting position, and when dawn came he prayed two rak'ahs, then he would come out and lead the people in the dawn prayer.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 5, Hadith 2
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn
Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Hazm from his father that in a letter which the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sent to
Amr ibn Hazm about blood-money he wrote that it was one hundred camels
for a life, one hundred camels for a nose if completely removed, a
third of the blood-money for a wound in the brain, the same as that
for a belly wound, fifty for an eye, fifty for a hand, fifty for a
foot, ten camels for each finger, and five for teeth, and five for a
head wound which laid bare the bone.
