It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). Abu Zabyan says: We were reviewing the copies of the Qur'an with Alqamah, and he recited this verse: "Indeed, in that are signs for those who have certainty," and said that Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Certainty is the whole of faith." And he recited this verse: "Indeed, in that are signs for everyone who is patient and grateful" [Surah al-Shura: 33] , and said that Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Patience is half of faith." This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: On the day of Uhud, sixty-four of the Ansar and six of the Muhajirun were martyred, among whom was Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the polytheists mutilated their bodies. At this the Ansar said: "If we ever get such an opportunity against them, we will take revenge on them beyond this." Then, when the day of the Conquest of Makkah came, Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And if you retaliate, then retaliate with the like of what you were made to suffer; but if you are patient, it is certainly better for those who are patient." [Surah al-Nahl: 126] This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And indeed, you guide to a straight path" [Surah al-Shura: 52] , that he said: "What is meant by the straight path is Islam, and it is wider than the distance between the earth and the heaven." This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and 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) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And indeed, you guide to a straight path" [Surah al-Shura: 52] , that he said: "What is meant by it is the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic (the Qur'an)."
