It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty "By the dawn" [Surah al-Fajr: 1] , that he said: What is meant is the dawn of the day; and concerning "and by the ten nights" [Surah al-Fajr: 2] he said: What is meant is the (first) ten nights of Dhu al-Hijjah. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it; and the Abu Nasr in its chain is in fact al-Aswad bin Hilal.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about "al-shaf'" (the even) and "al-watr" (the odd), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is meant is the prayer, some of whose (rak'ahs) are even and some odd." 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 "Owner of the stakes, who transgressed in the lands" [Surah al-Fajr: 10-11] , that he said: Pharaoh drove in four stakes for his wife (Asiyah (peace be upon her)), then he placed a huge millstone on her back until she died. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
