It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And He knows its place of settlement and its place of deposit" [Surah Hud: 6] , that he said: Its place of settlement (mustaqarr) is in the womb, and its place of deposit (mustawda') is the place where it will die. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he was asked about this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And His Throne was upon the water" [Surah Hud: 7] : upon what was the water (resting)? He said: "Upon the back of the wind." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraydah al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and began asking him (for wealth), saying: "Give to us," until this displeased him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then some other people came and said: "We have come to greet the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam, to gain understanding of the religion, and to ask about the beginning of this universe." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty existed (from eternity) and there was nothing other than Him. His Throne was upon the water, He wrote everything in the Record (the Preserved Tablet), then He created the seven heavens." The narrator said: Meanwhile a man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Your she-camel has gone off." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) (left from there and afterwards) said: "I wished that I had let it be." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), regarding this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And if We delay the punishment for them until an appointed ummah" [Surah Hud: 8] , that he said: Its meaning is "until an appointed term." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever of this Ummah hears of me, whether he is a Jew or a Christian, and then does not believe in me, will enter the Fire (Hell)." (Ibn Abbas said:) I began saying to myself: Where is its confirmation in the Book of Allah? And it rarely happened that I heard a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) without finding its explanation in the Qur'an, until I found this verse: "And whoever disbelieves in it from among the factions, the Fire is his promised place" [Surah Hud: 17] . He said: "The factions (al-ahzab)" means all the religions and creeds. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.
