It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "He imposed it upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession (husuman)" [Al-Haqqah: 7] , that he said: "(By 'husuman' is meant) continuous and successive (days and nights)." 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 Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And the earth and the mountains are lifted and crushed with a single crushing" [Al-Haqqah: 14] , that he said: "The two of them (the earth and the mountains) will be crushed to pieces and become dust, which will fall upon the faces of the disbelievers but not upon the faces of the believers. And this is the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: 'And some faces, that Day, will have dust upon them; darkness will cover them' [Abasa: 40, 41] ." 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 Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And eight will bear the Throne of your Lord above them that Day" [Al-Haqqah: 17] , that he said: "(This refers to) eight angels in the form of mountain goats (aw'al); the distance from their hooves to their knees is equal to a journey of sixty-three years." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Although Shu'ayb bin Khalid, al-Walid bin Abi Thawr and Amr bin Thabit have also narrated it from Simak bin Harb as marfu' (attributing it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)), the two Shaykhs did not use any of them as evidence. I have mentioned the hadith of Shu'ayb bin Khalid because he is the closest of them to being used as evidence.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at al-Batha' when suddenly a cloud passed by, and the people looked at it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them: "Do you know what its name is?" The Companions said: Yes, this is a cloud (sahab). the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And (it is also called) 'al-muzn'." They said: And (it is also called) 'al-muzn'. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And (it is also called) 'al-'anana'." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you know how great the distance is between the heaven and the earth?" They said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The distance between the two of them is a journey of either seventy-one, or seventy-two, or seventy-three years; and the heaven above it is likewise (at the same distance), and Allah Almighty is above all of that; nothing of the deeds of the children of Adam is hidden from Him. And in the seventh heaven there are eight mountain goats (angels), the distance between whose hooves and knees is like the distance from one heaven to another."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "with water like molten brass (muhl)" [Al-Kahf: 29] : "It will be like the dregs of oil; when it is brought near to him (to drink), the skin of his face will fall off (from its heat). And if a single bucket of 'ghislin' (the washings of the wounds of the people of Hell) were poured out in this world, it would make all the people of the world stink." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but 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) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Then We would have cut from him the aorta (al-watin)" [Al-Haqqah: 46] , that he said: It refers to "niyat al-qalb", that is, the vein of the heart. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but 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) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Then We would have cut from him the aorta (al-watin)" [Al-Haqqah: 46] , that he said: It refers to that vein of the heart (the main artery) which is attached to the back. 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) that he said (commenting on the script or linguistic aspect of certain words of the Qur'an): What is the word "al-khatun"?! In fact it is "al-khati'un". And what is "al-sabun"?! In reality it is "al-sabi'un". This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
