It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has made the whole world little, and of that (little world) only a very small part now remains. The likeness of what remains of the world is that of a pool whose clear water has been drunk and only its muddy water is left." Its chain of narration is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh very little, and you would go out to the high places (mountains and wilderness), crying out humbly to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, not knowing whether you would be saved (from punishment) or not." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording and context.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What are you waiting for? Is it wealth that makes (a person) rebellious, or poverty that makes (one) forget (everything), or illness that ruins (the body and health), or old age that takes away the mind, or death that comes suddenly, or the Dajjal, and the Dajjal is the worst absent one who is awaited, or the Hour, and the Hour is most grievous and most bitter?" Imam al-Hakim says: If Ma'mar bin Rashid heard this narration from al-Maqburi, then this hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
