Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "A servant does not become a believer until he believes in four things. He bears witness that there is no deity except Allah, and indeed I am the Messenger of Allah, and he believes in being brought to life after death, and he believes in destiny."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No person can be a believer until I become more beloved to him than his children, his parents, and all people."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): "A Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe, and a believer is the one from whom others are safe regarding their lives and wealth."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates this statement of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Iman (faith) has 70 (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) or 72 doors, the highest of which is 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah), and the lowest is removing something harmful from the path, and modesty is a branch of faith." Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says: In this narration, the reliance on the mentioned number, which is in the narration transmitted from Ibn Hād, is among those cases about which we have already stated in our books that sometimes the Arabs mention a number for something, but by this, it is not meant to negate anything other than that number. There are many examples of this, and we have mentioned many types of it, some of which we will mention later in their respective chapters.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty will admit the people of Paradise into Paradise; He will admit whomever He wills by His mercy. And He will admit the people of Hell into Hell, then He will say: 'Take out from Hell the person who has even a mustard seed's weight of faith in his heart.' So those people will be taken out of Hell, and they will have become like charcoal. Then they will be thrown into the river of Paradise, and they will sprout forth from it just as a seed sprouts forth from the silt carried by a flood. Have you not seen it? It is yellow and bends this way and that."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When the people of Paradise and the people of Hell will be distinguished from each other, and the people of Paradise will enter Paradise and the people of Hell will enter Hell, then the Messengers will stand and they will intercede. Then it will be said: Go and take out from (Hell) every person in whose heart you find faith equal to a qirat (a small weight). So they will take out a great many people. Then it will be said: Go and take out every person in whose heart you find even faith equal to a grain of mustard seed. So they will take out many people. (Then) Allah the Exalted will say: Now I will take out (people from Hell) because of My bounty and mercy. So, as many people as the Messengers had taken out, Allah the Exalted will take out many times more people from Hell. Those people will have been burnt and turned into charcoal; they will be thrown into a river. (The narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) They will be thrown into a river of Paradise, so their burnt parts will fall off at the bank of the river and they will become white like 'tharareer'. It will be written on their necks: These are the ones freed by Allah the Exalted, and (in Paradise) their name will be 'Jahannami' (people of Hell). Imam Ibn Hibban (may Allah have mercy on him) says: 'Tharareer' is a small type of flower. This has been stated by the Shaykh."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him: "As for the people of Hell, they will remain in Hell; death will not come to them, nor will they (properly) live." But there will be some people whom the fire (will punish) because of their sins (the narrator is in doubt, perhaps these are the words) or because of their mistakes, until when they become like coal, then these people will be called out group by group. They will be placed before the people of Paradise and it will be said: O people of Paradise! Pour water over them. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, says: Then they will sprout forth just as a seed sprouts forth in the path of flood water. One of those present said: It seems as if the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, has also lived in the wilderness.

Tariq bin Shihab says: A Jew said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): If we Jews knew when this verse was revealed, we would declare that day as a day of Eid. "This day I have perfected your religion for you." And if even now we come to know the day on which this verse was revealed, we would declare that day as a day of Eid. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I know about the day on which this verse was revealed, and I also know about the night in which it was revealed: it was the day of Friday, and at that time we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at Arafat.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The person who commits adultery is not a believer while committing adultery, the person who steals is not a believer while stealing, the person who drinks alcohol is not a believer while drinking alcohol, the person who commits robbery—who robs someone of something valuable while Muslims are watching him—is not a believer while committing robbery."

The narrator says: I asked Zuhri: What does this mean? He replied: It was obligatory upon the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, to convey it, and it is obligatory upon us to accept it.

Waqid bin Abdullah narrates from his father: He heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrating this statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): "Do not revert to disbelief after me, striking the necks of one another."
