It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from the Battle of Uhud, he passed by Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Umayr (may Allah be pleased with him), who was lying martyred on the path. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood by him, supplicated for him, and then recited this verse: "Among the believers are men who have been true to the covenant they made with Allah. Among them is he who has fulfilled his vow (been martyred), and among them is he who is waiting (for martyrdom), and they have not altered (their covenant) in the least." [Surah al-Ahzab: 23] Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I bear witness that these people will be martyrs in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. So come to them and visit them. By the One in whose Hand is my soul, whoever greets them with salam until the Day of Resurrection, they will return his greeting." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited (verse 15 of Surah Saba) like this: "laqad kana li-Saba'in fi masakinihim". [Surah Saba: 15] We obtained this manuscript with a high (short) chain only from Abu al-Abbas, and the two Shaykhs did not use Ibn al-Baylamani as evidence.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited (verse 23 of Surah Saba with the word "fuzzi'a"): "When fear is removed from their hearts, they will say: What did your Lord say?"

[Surah Ya Sin: 62] All of its narrators are trustworthy except Isma'il bin Rafi', for the two Shaykhs did not use him as evidence.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father (Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam, may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: "Indeed, you will die, and indeed they will die. Then indeed, on the Day of Resurrection, you will dispute before your Lord" [Surah al-Zumar: 30 - 31] , Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Will the (disputes) that were between us in the world be brought before us again, along with the details of the sins? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, all of it will be repeated before them until every one who has a right is given his right." Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! Then the matter is very severe. This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Asma' bint Yazid (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting: "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah" (here he, peace and blessings be upon him, read "rahmat Allah" with nasb), and then he recited: "Indeed, Allah forgives all sins," and He does not care (about anyone). [Surah al-Zumar: 53] This hadith is gharib (unusual) and 'ali (with a high chain), and in this book of mine I have not mentioned any narration from Shahr bin Hawshab other than this one hadith.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me to recite it like this: "Indeed, I am the Provider, the Possessor of power, the Firm." [Surah al-Dhariyat: 58] This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this blessed verse: "Those who believed and whose offspring followed them in faith, We will join their offspring with them (in the ranks of Paradise)." [Surah al-Tur: 21] This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I recited the word "mudhdhakir" (with dhal) before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) corrected it by reciting it with dal: "So is there anyone who will take heed (muddakir)?" [Surah al-Qamar: 15] This hadith is sahih (authentic), and the two Shaykhs agreed on recording it in their books in abridged form through the narration of Imam Shu'bah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the noble verse with these words: "Reclining on green cushions and exquisitely beautiful carpets ('abaqariyy)."
