It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three qualities which, whoever has them, Allah Almighty will take his account very easily and admit him into Paradise by His mercy." The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah, who are those (fortunate ones)? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That you give to the one who deprives you, forgive the one who wrongs you, and join ties with the one who cuts you off." The questioner said: (O Messenger of Allah,) if I adopt these qualities, what will I get? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That your account will be taken very easily and Allah will admit you into Paradise by His mercy." 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 Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty "You will surely pass from stage to stage" [Surah al-Inshiqaq: 19] , that he said: (What is meant is) the sky (its layers and stages). 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 Almighty "You will surely pass from stage to stage" [Surah al-Inshiqaq: 19] that what is meant by it is your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); (its meaning is that) he (peace and blessings be upon him) will go from one state to another (rising in rank, up to the Mi'raj). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it!
