Home Hadith Hadith 7163
A son of one of the daughters of the Prophet (ﷺ) was dying, so she sent a person to call the Prophet. He
sent (her a message), "What ever Allah takes is for Him, and whatever He gives is for Him, and
everything has a limited fixed term (in this world) so she should be patient and hope for Allah's
reward." She then sent for him again, swearing that he should come. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up, and so did
Mu`adh bin Jabal, Ubai bin Ka`b and 'Ubada bin As-Samit. When he entered (the house), they gave
the child to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while its breath was disturbed in his chest. (The sub-narrator said: I think
he said, "...as if it was a water skin.") Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) started weeping whereupon Sa`d bin 'Ubada
said, "Do you weep?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah is merciful only to those of His slaves who are
merciful (to others).

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Time has come back to its original state which it had when Allah created the
Heavens and the Earth, the year is twelve months, of which four are sacred; (and out of these four)
three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab
Mudar which is between Jumad (Ath-Tham) and Sha'ban." The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked us, "Which month
is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better." He kept quiet so long that we thought he
might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't it Dhul-Hijja?" We said, "Yes." He asked "What
town is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.' Then he kept quiet so long that we
thought he might call it by another name. He then said, "Isn't it the (forbidden) town (Mecca)?" We
said, "Yes." He asked, "What is the day today?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.
Then he kept quiet so long that we thought that he might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't it
the Day of An-Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifices)?" We said, "Yes." Then he said, "Your blood (lives),
your properties," (the sub narrator Muhammad, said: I think he also said): "..and your honor) are as
sacred to one another like the sanctity of this Day of yours, in this town of yours, in this month of
yours.
You shall meet your Lord and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Don't go astray after me by
striking the necks of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform it to those
who are absent for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of
the present audience." Whenever the sub-narrator Muhammad mentioned that statement, he would
say, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said the truth.") And then the Prophet (ﷺ) added, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's
Message to you! No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you?"

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Paradise and Hell (Fire) quarrelled in the presence of their Lord. Paradise said, 'O
Lord! What is wrong with me that only the poor and humble people enter me ?' Hell (Fire) said, I have
been favored with the arrogant people.' So Allah said to Paradise, 'You are My Mercy,' and said to
Hell, 'You are My Punishment which I inflict upon whom I wish, and I shall fill both of you.'" The
Prophet added, "As for Paradise, (it will be filled with good people) because Allah does not wrong any
of His created things, and He creates for Hell (Fire) whomever He will, and they will be thrown into
it, and it will say thrice, 'Is there any more, till Allah (will put) His Foot over it and it will become full
and its sides will come close to each other and it will say, 'Qat! Qat! Qat! (Enough! Enough! Enough!)
