A bedouin came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Judge between us according to Allah's Book (Laws)."
His opponent stood up and said, "He has said the truth, so judge between us according to Allah's
Laws." The bedouin said, "My son was a laborer for this man and committed illegal sexual intercourse
with his wife. The people said to me, 'Your son is to be stoned to death,' so I ransomed my son for one
hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the religious learned men and they said to me, 'Your son
has to receive one hundred lashes plus one year of exile.' " The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I shall judge between
you according to Allah's Book (Laws)! As for the slave girl and the sheep, it shall be returned to you,
and your son shall receive one-hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. O you, Unais!" The Prophet (ﷺ)
addressed some man, "Go in the morning to the wife of this man and stone her to death." So Unais
went to her the next morning and stoned her to death.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 93, Hadith 55
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Once three persons (from the previous nations) were traveling, and suddenly it
started raining and they took shelter in a cave. The entrance of the cave got closed while they were
inside. They said to each other, 'O you! Nothing can save you except the truth, so each of you should
ask Allah's Help by referring to such a deed as he thinks he did sincerely (i.e. just for gaining Allah's
Pleasure).' So one of them said, 'O Allah! You know that I had a laborer who worked for me for one
Faraq (i.e. three Sas) of rice, but he departed, leaving it (i.e. his wages). I sowed that Faraq of rice and
with its yield I bought cows (for him). Later on when he came to me asking for his wages, I said (to
him), 'Go to those cows and drive them away.' He said to me, 'But you have to pay me only a Faraq of
rice,' I said to him, 'Go to those cows and take them, for they are the product of that Faraq (of rice).'
So he drove them. O Allah! If you consider that I did that for fear of You, then please remove the
rock.' The rock shifted a bit from the mouth of the cave.
The second one said, 'O Allah, You know that I had old parents whom I used to provide with the milk
of my sheep every night. One night I was delayed and when I came, they had slept, while my wife and
children were crying with hunger. I used not to let them (i.e. my family) drink unless my parents had
drunk first. So I disliked to wake them up and also disliked that they should sleep without drinking it,
I kept on waiting (for them to wake) till it dawned. O Allah! If You consider that I did that for fear of
you, then please remove the rock.' So the rock shifted and they could see the sky through it. The
(third) one said, 'O Allah! You know that I had a cousin (i.e. my paternal uncle's daughter) who was
most beloved to me and I sought to seduce her, but she refused, unless I paid her one-hundred Dinars
(i.e. gold pieces). So I collected the amount and brought it to her, and she allowed me to sleep with
her. But when I sat between her legs, she said, 'Be afraid of Allah, and do not deflower me but legally.
'I got up and left the hundred Dinars (for her). O Allah! If You consider that I did that for fear of you
than please remove the rock. So Allah saved them and they came out (of the cave)."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 132
"While he was on the Minbar, I heard Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah saying - and he attributed it to the Prophet (ﷺ) - 'Indeed Musa asked his Lord: "O Lord! Who is the lowest in rank among the people of Paradise?" He said: "A man who comes after the people of Paradise have been admitted to Paradise, and he is told to enter. He says: 'How can I enter when they have gotten all of their abodes, and all that is to be had?'" He said: "So it is said to him: 'Would you accept if you were to have what a king in the world?' He says: 'Yes, O Lord! I accept.' So it is said to him: 'Then for you is this and its like, and its like again, and its like again.' So he says: 'I accept, O Lord!' So it is said to him: 'Then for you is this and ten the like thereof.' So he says: 'I accept, O Lord!' So it is said: 'Indeed you shall have this, and whatever your soul desires, and whatever delights your eyes.'"
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 250
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).
