It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah "Lam yakun" to him, and in it he also recited (these words): "Indeed, the true religion with Allah is the Hanifiyyah (the religion of Ibrahim), not Judaism, nor Christianity, nor Magianism; and whoever does good, it will never go unappreciated." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Mughirah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I heard Fudayl bin Amr say to Abu Wa'il Shaqiq bin Salamah: Did you hear Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "Whoever says, 'I am a (certain) believer,' let him (then also claim and) say, 'I am in Paradise'"? He replied: "Yes." Mughirah says: Then Abu Wa'il Shaqiq bin Salamah began reciting "Those who disbelieved among the People of the Book were not" until he reached from "And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, making the religion sincerely His" up to "And that is the upright religion" [Surah al-Bayyinah: 1-5] , and he recited it while alluding to and refuting the Murji'ah (a misguided sect). The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
