It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr and Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection I will be the first person to be given permission to prostrate, and I will be the first person to be given permission to raise his head. So I will raise my head and look in front of me and recognise my Ummah among all the nations, and I will look to my right and my left and recognise my Ummah among all the nations." A man said: O Messenger of Allah, how will you recognise your Ummah among the many nations from Sayyiduna Nuh (peace be upon him) up to your Ummah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will have shining faces and radiant limbs from the traces of ablution, and this feature will belong to no other nation besides them. I will also recognise them in that they will be given their records of deeds in their right hands; I will recognise them by their marks on their faces from the traces of prostration; and I will recognise them by their light which will be (running) before them, on their right and on their left." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Qays bin al-Sakan (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "Their light will be running before them" [Surah al-Hadid: 12] : "They will be given light according to their deeds. Among them will be one whose light is like a mountain (in greatness), and the one with the least light will be the one whose light is on his thumb, which will at times go out and at times shine." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Bilal bin Abdullah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw Sayyiduna Ubadah bin al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) in the mosque of Bayt al-Maqdis, facing the east (or the wall), weeping and reciting this verse: "Then a wall will be placed between them, having a door, within which is mercy" [Surah al-Hadid: 13] . Then he said: "This is the place where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) showed us Hell." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that between the Companions' acceptance of Islam and the revelation of this verse, in which Allah Almighty admonished them, only a period of four years passed: "And let them not be like those who were given the Scripture before, and the period became long for them" [Surah al-Hadid: 16] . This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Abu Hassan al-A'raj (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "The people of the Days of Ignorance used to say that ill omen is (only) in a woman, an animal and a house." Then she recited this verse: "No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves except that it is in a Book before We bring it into being. Indeed, that is easy for Allah" [Surah al-Hadid: 22] . 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: "So that you do not grieve over what has escaped you, nor exult over what He has given you" [Surah al-Hadid: 23] , that he said: "There is no one who does not (naturally) feel grief or joy; but the real virtue belongs to the one who meets calamity with patience and makes joy a means of giving thanks to Allah." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
