It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aws bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, among the best of your days is Friday. On it Adam (peace be upon him) was created, on it his soul was taken, on it the Trumpet will be blown, and on it everyone will fall senseless (from the terror of the Trumpet). So send abundant blessings (salawat) upon me on that day, for your blessings are presented to me." The Companions said: How will our blessings be presented to you (after your death) when your blessed body will have mingled with the earth and decayed? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets." 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 Abu Razin al-Uqayli (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: O Messenger of Allah! Will all of us see our Lord (on the Day of Resurrection)? And what is the sign of that among His creation? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Does not each one of you look at the moon while it is on its own?" They said: Certainly (we do). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Allah is far greater in majesty than that." He (again) said: O Messenger of Allah! How will Allah Almighty bring the dead to life, and what is the sign of that among His creation? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you ever passed by a valley of your tribe that was dry and barren?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then did you pass by it again when it was swaying (after rain) and green?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the same way Allah Almighty will bring the dead to life, and this is the sign (of resurrection) among His creation." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
