Narrated from Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me towards Najran, so those people asked me: Do you recite like this: {یَا اُخْتَ ھَارُوْنَ} … O sister of Harun! While Musa (peace be upon him) passed long before ‘Isa (peace be upon him), (so how could Maryam, the mother of ‘Isa, be his sister?) When I returned, I mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: You should have told them that those people used to name themselves after the pious people and prophets who came before them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to Sayyiduna Jibreel, peace be upon him: "Is there anything preventing you from meeting me more often than you do now?" Upon this, the following verse was revealed: {وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَ مْرِ رَبِّکَ لَہُ مَا بَیْنَ أَ یْدِینَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَیْنَ ذٰلِکَ وَمَا کَانَ رَبُّکَ نَسِیًّا} … "We do not descend except by the command of your Lord; to Him belongs whatever is before us and whatever is behind us and whatever is between that, and your Lord is never forgetful." This was the answer for Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Mubashshir (may Allah be pleased with her) that she heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, while he was with Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those people who pledged allegiance to me under the tree at Hudaybiyyah, insha’Allah, none of them will enter Hell. Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! Why not? Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rebuked her, she said: Allah Almighty has said: {وَإِنْ مِنْکُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُہَا} … And surely every one of you will come to it (Hell). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Allah Almighty has also said: {ثُمَّ نُنَجِّی الَّذِینَ اتَّقَوْا وَنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِینَ فِیہَا جِثِیًّا} … Then We will save those who feared Allah, and We will leave the wrongdoers therein, fallen on their knees.

Abu Samiyah says: We differed regarding entering Hell; some said: A believer will not enter it, but others said: All will enter, then Allah Almighty will save the people of piety. I met Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) and I said: We have differed regarding entering Hell; some say that the believer will not enter it, but others say that all will enter. He put his fingers in his ears and said: May they become deaf, if I had not heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say this: By entering is meant entering; every righteous and wicked person will enter this Hell, but that fire will be coolness and safety for the believers, just as it was for Ibrahim (peace be upon him), until, due to the coolness, a sound will be heard from their Hell. Then it will happen that Allah Almighty will save the pious people and will leave the wrongdoers in it on their knees.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who, while interpreting the statement of Allah Almighty { وَإِنْ مِنْکُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُہَا}, says: All people will enter it, then they will come out based on their deeds. Abdur Rahman bin Mahdi said to Imam Shu'bah: Israel narrates this as marfu‘ (attributed to the Prophet)? He said: Yes, it is from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or it is equivalent in meaning to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Masruq that Sayyiduna Khabbab bin Al-Aratt (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was a blacksmith in Mecca, and I did some work for ‘As bin Wa’il, and some dirhams of mine accumulated with him. One day I went to him to demand them, but he said: I will not give you these dirhams until you disbelieve in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). I said: By Allah! I will never disbelieve in Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) until such a time comes that you die and are then resurrected. He replied: When I am resurrected, I will have wealth and children. In another narration, he said: So indeed, when I die and am then resurrected, I will have wealth and children there, and at that time I will repay you this debt. Sayyiduna Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When I mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Allah Almighty revealed this verse: {اَفَرَئَ یْتَ الَّذِیْ کَفَرَ بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَقَالَ لَاُوْتَیَنَّ مَالًا وَّوَلَدًا۔ اَطَّلَعَ الْغَیْبَ اَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمٰنِ عَہْدًا۔ کَلَّا سَنَکْتُبُ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَنَمُدُّ لَہ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا۔ وَّنَرِثُہ مَا یَقُوْلُ وَیاْتِیْنَا فَرْدًا۔} (Surah Maryam: 77 to 80) Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our verses and said: Surely I will be given wealth and children? Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken a promise from the Most Merciful? Never! We will record what he says and will prolong for him the punishment. And We will inherit from him what he speaks of, and he will come to Us alone.

Narrated by Nu’man bin Sa’d, he says: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he recited this verse: {یَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِینَ إِلَی الرَّحْمٰنِ وَفْدًا} …“We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation.”Then he said: By Allah! These people will not be gathered on their feet, that is, not on foot; rather, they will be mounted on such she-camels as people have never seen before. Upon them will be saddles of gold. They will ride upon them and proceed until they knock at the gates of Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey, and his companions had gone far ahead in walking. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these two verses aloud: {یَا أَ یُّہَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّکُمْ إِنَّ زَلْزَلَۃَ السَّاعَۃِ شَیْئٌ عَظِیمٌ۔ یَوْمَ تَرَوْنَہَا تَذْہَلُ کُلُّ مُرْضِعَۃٍ عَمَّآ اَرْضَعَتْ وَتَضَعُ کُلُّ ذَاتِ حَمْلٍ حَمْلَہَا وَتَرَی النَّاسَ سُکٰرٰی وَمَا ہُمْ بِسُکٰرٰی وَلٰکِنَّ عَذَابَ اللّٰہِ شَدِیْدٌ۔} … O people! Fear the wrath of your Lord; indeed, the earthquake of the Hour is a terrible thing. On the day you see it, every nursing mother will forget her nursling, every pregnant woman will miscarry, and you will see people as if they are intoxicated, though they are not intoxicated, but the punishment of Allah is severe. When the noble companions heard these verses, they spurred their mounts, thinking the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to say something important. When the people gathered around him, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know what day this is? Then he himself said: This will be the day when Adam (peace be upon him) will be called. Allah, the Exalted, will call out to him: O Adam! Send forth those destined for Hell into Hell. He will say: O my Lord! How many? Allah, the Exalted, will say: Out of every thousand, send nine hundred and ninety-nine to Hell and one to Paradise. Hearing this, the companions were astonished and stunned, and their laughter ceased. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this situation, he said: Act and rejoice! By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad! You will be among two kinds of creatures, and whichever group they are with, they increase its number, that is, Gog and Magog, those destroyed from the children of Adam, and the progeny of Iblis. Hearing this, that state left the companions. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Act and rejoice! By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad! You will be like a small mark on the side of a camel or like a mark on the knee of an animal among those people.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the statement of Allah Almighty {وَمَنْ یُرِدْ فِیہِ بِإِلْحَادٍ بِظُلْمٍ نُذِقْہُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِیمٍ} says: If a person intends to commit heresy (wrongdoing) in the Haram, while he is in ‘Adn Abin, then Allah Almighty will also make him taste a painful punishment.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that when the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, left Makkah for migration, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return. These people have expelled their Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him; surely, they will be destroyed." Then this verse was revealed: {أُذِنَ لِلَّذِینَ یُقَاتَلُوْنَ بِأَ نَّہُمْ ظُلِمُوْا وَإِنَّ اللّٰہَ عَلٰی نَصْرِہِمْ لَقَدِیرٌ} … "Permission [to fight] has been given to those against whom war is being waged, because they have been wronged, and Allah is certainly able to help them." At that time, they realized that there would soon be fighting. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: This is the first verse regarding the permission to fight that was revealed.
