It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has (in terms of His attributes) three garments: He has made might His lower garment, mercy His shirt, and grandeur (majesty) His cloak. So whoever seeks might through something other than that through which Allah has made him mighty, he is the one to whom it will be said (on the Day of Resurrection): 'Taste! Indeed, you were the (so-called) mighty and noble one.' [Surah al-Dukhan: 49] And whoever shows mercy to people, Allah Almighty will have mercy on him; he is the one who has put on the shirt that befits him. But whoever contends with Allah over His cloak (grandeur), which befits Him alone, then Allah Almighty says: It does not at all befit Me to admit into Paradise the one who contended with Me (in this attribute)." 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 Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Fear Allah as He deserves to be feared, and do not die except as Muslims." [Surah Al Imran: 102] Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! If a single drop of Zaqqum were to drip onto the earth, it would ruin the means of livelihood of all the people of the world; so what will be the state of the one whose very food it will be?" Imam Abu Ya'qub al-Hanzali recorded it in the explanation of this saying of Allah Almighty: "Seize him and drag him into the midst of the Blazing Fire; then pour over his head the torment of scalding water" [Surah al-Dukhan: 47 - 48] . This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.
