It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty took the covenant from the back of Adam, and brought forth from his loins all of his offspring whom He was to create, and scattered them before Him like tiny ants. Then He spoke to them, saying: 'Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes indeed, we bear witness. (This) lest you say on the Day of Resurrection: We were unaware of this; or lest you say: It was only our forefathers who associated partners (with Allah) before, and we were merely descendants after them; will You then destroy us for what the falsifiers did?' [Surah al-A'raf: 172-173] " This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, and the two of them did not record it, although Imam Muslim used Kulthum bin Jabr as evidence.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the day Allah Almighty spoke to Musa (peace be upon him), he was wearing a woollen cloak, woollen trousers, a woollen cap and a woollen wrap, and his sandals were of the hide of a donkey that had not been ritually slaughtered." Imam Bukhari and Muslim both agreed on using the hadith of Sa'id bin Mansur as evidence. The narrator named Humayd here is not Humayd bin Qays al-A'raj; rather, Imam Bukhari said in "al-Tarikh" that Humayd bin Ali al-A'raj al-Kufi is munkar al-hadith (a narrator of denounced hadith), while Abdullah bin al-Harith al-Najrani is used as evidence, and Imam Muslim alone used Khalaf bin Khalifah as evidence. This is an important hadith on the subject of tasawwuf and of Allah speaking, but the two of them did not record it. It also has a supporting narration (shahid) from the hadith of Isma'il bin Ayyash.
