It is narrated from Amir; he said: Shutayr bin Shakal and Masruq bin al-Ajda' were sitting, and one of them said to his companion: "Narrate what you heard from Abdullah (bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him) and I will confirm you, or I will narrate and you confirm me." So the (other) said: I heard Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) say that the most comprehensive verse in the Qur'an for good and evil is in Surah al-Nahl: "Indeed, Allah commands justice, excellence and giving to relatives, and forbids indecency, wrongdoing and transgression. He admonishes you so that you may take heed." [Surah al-Nahl: 90] At this (the first) said: You have spoken the truth. 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 Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him); he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no sin more deserving that Allah Almighty should hasten the punishment of its doer in this world, along with what is stored up for him in the Hereafter, than transgression (oppression and wrongdoing) and severing the ties of kinship (breaking off relations with relatives)." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), and the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "We will surely cause him to live a good life." [Surah al-Nahl: 97] He said: "It means contentment." And (he further said that) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make this supplication: 'Allahumma qanni'ni bima razaqtani, wa barik li fihi, wakhluf 'alayya kulla gha'ibatin li bikhayr' (O Allah, make me content with the provision You have given me, bless it for me, and replace for me with something better everything of mine that is hidden (lost))." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Whatever verse We abrogate" [Surah al-Baqarah: 106] , and the saying in Surah al-Nahl: "And when We substitute a verse in place of another verse" [Surah al-Nahl: 101] , and the saying: "Then indeed your Lord, for those who emigrated after they had been put to trial" [Surah al-Nahl: 110] ; he said: "This refers to Abdullah bin Sa'd (or someone else), who was governor of Egypt and used to write (the revelation) for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he slipped and joined the disbelievers, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that he be killed on the day of the Conquest of Makkah. But Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) sought protection for him from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him protection." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), and the two Shaykhs did not record it.
