It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the moon split in the blessed era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split" [Surah al-Qamar: 1] , that he said: This event took place in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): the moon split into two pieces, one piece appearing on this side of the mountain and the other piece behind the mountain. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah, bear witness."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split" [Surah al-Qamar: 1] , that he said: The moon split while we were in Makkah, in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Imam al-Hakim said: All these corroborating narrations (shawahid) for the hadith of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) are sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people of Makkah asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for a sign (miracle), so the moon split in Makkah twice, and Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: "The Hour has drawn near and the moon has split" [Surah al-Qamar: 1] . The two Shaykhs agreed upon the hadith of Shu'bah from Qatadah that the moon split in the era of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but they did not record it with the wording of Ma'mar's hadith, although it is sahih (authentic) on the condition of them both.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he used to recite this part of the verse, 'khashi'an absaruhum' [Surah al-Qamar: 7] , with an alif (that is, 'khashi'an'). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Husayn bin Ali al-Ju'fi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I heard Aban bin Taghlib (may Allah have mercy on him) recite 'khashi'an absaruhum' [Surah al-Qamar: 7] in the same way (with an alif), like (the well-known reciter) Imam Hamzah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that between the supplication of Sayyiduna Nuh (peace be upon him) (against his people) and the destruction of the people of Nuh there was a period of three hundred years; (at the time of the flood) the oven gushed forth in the land of India; and the ark of Nuh (peace be upon him) circled the House of Allah (the Ka'bah) for a week (seven times). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
