I was an interpreter between Ibn Abbas and the people, that a woman happened to come there and asked about nabidh or the pitcher of wine. He replied: A delegation of the people of 'Abdul-Qais came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He (the Holy Prophet) asked the delegation or the people (of the delegation about their identity). They replied that they belonged to the tribe of Rabi'a. He (the Holy Prophet) welcomed the people or the delegation which were neither humiliated nor put to shame. They (the members of the delegation) said: Messenger of Allah, we come to you from a far-off distance and there lives between you and us a tribe of the unbelievers of Mudar and, therefore, it is not possible for us to come to you except in the sacred months. Thus direct us to a clear command, about which we should inform people beside us and by which we may enter heaven. He (the Holy Prophet) replied: I command you to do four deeds and forbid you to do four (acts), and added: I direct you to affirm belief in Allah alone, and then asked them: Do you know what belief in Allah really implies? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet said: It implies testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, establishment of prayer, payment of Zakat, fast of Ramadan, that you pay one-fifth of the booty (fallen to your lot) and I forbid you to use gourd, wine jar, or a receptacle for wine. Shu'ba sometimes narrated the word naqir (wooden pot) and sometimes narrated it as muqayyar. The Prophet also said: Keep it in your mind and inform those who have been left behind.
Sahih Muslim Book 1, Hadith 24
During the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) some people said, : O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the
Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes; do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at midday
when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?" They replied, "No." He said, "Do you have any
difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?"
They replied, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Similarly) you will have no difficulty in seeing Allah on the
Day of Resurrection as you have no difficulty in seeing either of them. On the Day of Resurrection, a
call-maker will announce, "Let every nation follow that which they used to worship."
Then none of those who used to worship anything other than Allah like idols and other deities but will
fall in Hell (Fire), till there will remain none but those who used to worship Allah, both those who
were obedient (i.e. good) and those who were disobedient (i.e. bad) and the remaining party of the
people of the Scripture. Then the Jews will be called upon and it will be said to them, 'Who do you use
to worship?' They will say, 'We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.' It will be said to them, 'You
are liars, for Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son. What do you want now?' They will say,
'O our Lord! We are thirsty, so give us something to drink.'
They will be directed and addressed thus, 'Will you drink,' whereupon they will be gathered unto Hell
(Fire) which will look like a mirage whose different sides will be destroying each other. Then they
will fall into the Fire. Afterwards the Christians will be called upon and it will be said to them, 'Who
do you use to worship?' They will say, 'We used to worship Jesus, the son of Allah.' It will be said to
them, 'You are liars, for Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son,' Then it will be said to them,
'What do you want?' They will say what the former people have said. Then, when there remain (in the
gathering) none but those who used to worship Allah (Alone, the real Lord of the Worlds) whether
they were obedient or disobedient. Then (Allah) the Lord of the worlds will come to them in a shape
nearest to the picture they had in their minds about Him. It will be said, 'What are you waiting for?'
Every nation have followed what they used to worship.' They will reply, 'We left the people in the
world when we were in great need of them and we did not take them as friends. Now we are waiting
for our Lord Whom we used to worship.' Allah will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say twice or
thrice, 'We do not worship any besides Allah.' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 103
Hilal bin Umaiya accused his wife of committing illegal sexual intercourse with Sharik bin Sahma'
and filed the case before the Prophet. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to Hilal), "Either you bring forth a proof (four
witnesses) or you will receive the legal punishment (lashes) on your back." Hilal said, "O Allah's
Apostle! If anyone of us saw a man over his wife, would he go to seek after witnesses?" The Prophet (ﷺ)
kept on saying, "Either you bring forth the witnesses or you will receive the legal punishment (lashes)
on your back." Hilal then said, "By Him Who sent you with the Truth, I am telling the truth and Allah
will reveal to you what will save my back from legal punishment." Then Gabriel came down and
revealed to him:--
'As for those who accuse their wives...' (24.6-9) The Prophet (ﷺ) recited it till he reached: '... (her
accuser) is telling the truth.' Then the Prophet (ﷺ) left and sent for the woman, and Hilal went (and
brought) her and then took the oaths (confirming the claim). The Prophet (ﷺ) was saying, "Allah knows
that one of you is a liar, so will any of you repent?" Then the woman got up and took the oaths and
when she was going to take the fifth one, the people stopped her and said, "It (the fifth oath) will
definitely bring Allah's curse on you (if you are guilty)." So she hesitated and recoiled (from taking
the oath) so much that we thought that she would withdraw her denial. But then she said, "I will not
dishonor my family all through these days," and carried on (the process of taking oaths). The Prophet (ﷺ)
then said, "Watch her; if she delivers a black-eyed child with big hips and fat shins then it is Sharik
bin Sahma's child." Later she delivered a child of that description. So the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If the case
was not settled by Allah's Law, I would punish her severely."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 269
Allah's Messenger, will we be able to see our Lord on the Day of Judgment? He said: Do you feel any difficulty in seeing the sun in the noon when there is no cloud over it? They said: No. He again said: Do you feel any difficulty in seeing the moon on the fourteenth night when there is no cloud over it? They said: No. Thereupon he said: By Allah Who is One in Whose Hand is my life. you will not face any difficulty in seeing your Lord but only so much as you feel in seeing one of them. Then Allah would sit in judgment upon the servant and would say: O, so and so, did I not honour you and make you the chief and provide you the spouse and subdue for you horses, camels, and afforded you an opportunity to rule over your subjects? He would say: Yes. And then it would be said: Did you not think that you would meet Us? And he would say: No. Thereupon He (Allah) would say: Well, We forget you as you forgot Us. Then the second person would be brought for judgment. (And Allah would) say: 0, so and so. did We not honour you and make you the chief and make you pair and subdue for you horses and camels and afford you an opportunity to rule over your subjects? He would say: Yes, my Lord. And He (the Lord) would say: Did you not think that you would be meeting Us? And he would say: No. And then He (Allah) would say: Well, I forget you today as you forgot Us. Then the third -one would be brought and He (Allah) would say to him as He said before. And he (the third person) would say: O, my Lord, I affirmed my faith in Thee and in Thy Book and in Thy Messenger and I observed prayer and fasts and gave charity, and he would speak in good terms like this as he would be able to do. And He (Allah) would say: Well, We will bring our witnesses to you. And the man would think in his mind who would bear witness upon him and then his mouth would be sealed and it would be said to his thighs, to his flesh and to his bones to speak and his thighs. flesh and bones would bear witness to his deeds and it would be done so that he should not be able to make any excuse for himself and he would be a hypocrite and Allah would be annoyed with him.
Sahih Muslim Book 55, Hadith 22
That `Amr bin `Auf, who was an ally of Bani 'Amir bin Luai and one of those who fought at Badr in
the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) , said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah to Bahrain to bring
the Jizya taxation from its people, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had made a peace treaty with the people of
Bahrain and appointed Al-`Ala' bin Al-Hadrami as their ruler. So, Abu 'Ubaida arrived with the
money from Bahrain. When the Ansar heard of the arrival of Abu 'Ubaida (on the next day) they
offered the morning prayer with the Prophet (ﷺ) and when the morning prayer had finished, they
presented themselves before him. On seeing the Ansar, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) smiled and said, "I think you
have heard that Abu 'Ubaida has brought something?" They replied, "Indeed, it is so, O Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "Be happy, and hope for what will please you. By Allah, I am not afraid that you
will be poor, but I fear that worldly wealth will be bestowed upon you as it was bestowed upon those
who lived before you. So you will compete amongst yourselves for it, as they competed for it and it
will destroy you as it did them."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 65
"A man said" 'I am going to give some charity.' So he went out with his charity and put it in the hand of a thief. The next morning they started talking about how charity had been given to a thief. Then he said: 'O Allah, to You be praise for the thief. I am going to give some charity.' So he went out with his charity and put it in the hand of a prostitute. The next morning they started talking about how charity had been given to a prostitute. He said: 'O Allah, to You be praise for the prostitute. I am going to give some charity. So he went out with his charity and put it in the hand of a rich man. The next morning they started talking about how charity had been given to a rich man. He said: 'O Allah, th You be praise for the prostitute, the thief and the rich man. 'Then the message came to him: As for your charity, it is accepted. As for the prostitute, perhaps it will keep her from committing Zina. As for the thief, perhaps it will stop him from stealing. And as for the rich man, perhaps he will learn a lesson, and will spend from that which Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has given him."'
