It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). Abu Burdah says: I prayed the Asr prayer beside him and heard him reciting this verse in his bowing (ruku'): "My Lord, because of the favour You have bestowed upon me, I will never be a supporter of the criminals" [Surah al-Qasas: 17] . When he finished the prayer, he said: "Every prayer I have prayed, I hope that it will be an expiation for the prayer before it." 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 Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Since Allah Almighty sent down the Torah on the face of the earth, Allah has not destroyed any people, generation, nation or the inhabitants of any town with a punishment from the sky, except the town that was transformed into apes. Have you not seen this statement (of the Qur'an): 'And We certainly gave Musa the Book after We had destroyed the former generations, as insight for the people, and guidance and mercy, so that they may take heed' [Surah al-Qasas: 43] ?" 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 Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning this saying of Allah Almighty, "And you were not at the side of the Mount when We called" [Surah al-Qasas: 46] , that he said: (At that time) it was called out: "O Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! I responded to you before you called upon Me, and I gave to you before you asked of Me." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
