It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the recitation of Surah al-Rahman to his Companions, he said: "Why is it that I see you completely silent? The jinn were certainly better than you in responding. Whenever I recited this verse to them: "So which of the favours of your Lord will you both deny?" [Surah al-Rahman: 13] , they said (in reply): 'Wa la bi shay'in min ni'amika Rabbana nukadhdhibu, fa lakal-hamd' (O our Lord, we do not deny any of Your favours, so all praise is for You)." 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 Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "Do you know of any namesake for Him?" [Surah Maryam: 65] , that he said: "No one other than Allah Almighty is named 'al-Rahman'." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but 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, the Mighty and Majestic: "The sun and the moon move according to a reckoning (an appointed system)" [Surah al-Rahman: 5] , that he said: "(It means) a reckoning and their appointed stations." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but 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: "And the stars (or the creeping plants that grow from the earth) and the trees" [Surah al-Rahman: 6] , that he said: "'Al-najm' refers to the plants that grow out of the earth (but have no trunk), and 'al-shajar' refers to the trees that stand on a trunk." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
