It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited from the opening verse of Surah al-Dahr, "Has there come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing worth mentioning?" [Al-Insan: 1] , to its end. Then he said: "I see what you do not see, and I hear what you do not hear. The heaven creaks, and it has the right to creak, for there is not in it a space the size of four fingers except that an angel is placing his forehead in prostration before Allah. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much, and you would not take pleasure in your women on your beds; rather, you would go out into the open plains, crying out in supplication before Allah Almighty." (Sayyiduna Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, further said:) By Allah, I wish that I were a tree that would be cut down. 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 al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And its clusters of fruit will be lowered in humility" [Al-Insan: 14] , that he said: (The fruits of Paradise) will be made so subservient to them that they will be able to pick them however they wish (sitting, lying or standing). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
