Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "We are more deserving of doubt than Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he said: 'O my Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.' The Lord asked: 'Do you not believe?' He replied: 'Yes, but (I ask) so that my heart may be at ease.'" (The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, says:) May Allah have mercy on Sayyiduna Lut (peace be upon him); he wished to seek refuge in a strong shelter. And if I had remained in prison for as long as Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him) did, I would have responded to the caller.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "We are more deserving of doubt than Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him)" does not mean that there was doubt regarding the resurrection of the dead, but rather it refers to the acceptance of his supplication. The reason is that Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said: "O my Lord, show me how You give life to the dead." He was not certain whether his supplication in this matter would be accepted. So the intent of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is that his supplication to his Lord and the request he made—he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) says: We are more deserving of doubt regarding this supplication than Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him), because when we supplicate, sometimes our supplication is accepted and sometimes it is not. In any case, the summary of this statement is that it is conveyed literally, but the intent is to teach the addressee about this matter.

Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrates from his father that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to receive the Qur'an, and for a long time he recited it before the people. The people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! If you would relate some stories to us (it would be a kindness). So Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: «الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ» The verse continues: "We relate to you the best of stories." The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recited this verse before the people for a long time. Then the people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! If you would tell us something (it would be a kindness). So Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: Allah has sent down the best statement as a Book, consistent in its parts. So all were commanded according to the Qur'an.

The narrator named Khallad has added these words in his narration: When the people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Advise us, so Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: Has the time not come for the hearts of those who believe to be humbled to the remembrance of Allah?

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) and Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) had a debate. Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) said: 'Are you that Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) who led people astray and caused them to be expelled from Paradise?' So Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) said to him: 'Are you that Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) whom Allah Almighty granted the knowledge of everything and selected for His message among all people?' Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) replied: 'Yes.' Then Sayyiduna Adam (peace be upon him) said: 'Are you blaming me for a matter which had already been decreed in my destiny before my creation?'"

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Children of Israel used to bathe naked, looking at each other's private parts, but Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) used to bathe alone. They said: By Allah! Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) does not bathe with us only because there is some defect in him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Once Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) went to bathe and placed his clothes on a stone, then the stone ran away with his clothes. Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) ran after it, saying: O stone, my clothes! O stone, my clothes! Until the Children of Israel saw the private parts of Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him), and they said: By Allah! There is no defect in Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him). When the people saw him, the stone stopped. Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) took his clothes and began to strike the stone." Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) states: By Allah! There are six, or perhaps seven, marks of Sayyiduna Musa's (peace be upon him) strikes on that stone.

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed something, so a man said about it: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not act justly regarding this." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I thought, by Allah! I will definitely inform the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this. I informed him, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah have mercy on Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him); he was harmed with more than this, but still he remained patient."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "What is heard is not like what is seen directly. Allah Almighty said to Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him): Your people have done such and such, but he did not pay much attention. However, when he saw it with his own eyes, he threw down the tablets." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Abu Bishr is Ja'far bin Abu Wahshiyyah.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Direct seeing is not like hearing. Allah Almighty informed Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) that your people have been put to trial, but he still did not throw down the tablets. However, when he saw the condition of the people himself, he threw down the tablets."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates as a marfu’ hadith to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Sayyiduna Jibreel (peace be upon him) was stuffing clay into Pharaoh’s mouth out of fear that he might recite «لا إِلهَ إِلَّا الله» .”

Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated on the pulpit the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked his Lord,“Which person among the people of Paradise will have the lowest rank in Paradise?”Allah Almighty replied: He will be a person who will come after the people of Paradise have entered Paradise, and it will be said to him:“Go, enter Paradise.”He will say,“How can I enter Paradise when the people have already taken their places and received their shares?”Then the Lord will ask him:“Are you not pleased that you should have as much in Paradise as a worldly king possessed?”He will say,“Yes, my Lord, I am pleased.”Then it will be said:“You will have that and as much again, and as much again, and as much again (i.e., three times more).”He will say,“My Lord, I am pleased.”Then it will be said:“You will have ten times as much.”He will say,“My Lord, I am pleased.”Then it will be said:“You will have, along with it, whatever your soul desires and whatever delights your eyes.”Then Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked his Lord,“Who will be the person of the highest rank among the people of Paradise?”The Lord replied:“I will tell you about them. I have honored them with My own Hand of Power and sealed it (for them are such blessings) that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has ever conceived.”Its confirmation is found in the Book of Allah (in these words):“No soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for their eyes.”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked his Lord about six things, thinking that these were specific to him, while he did not like the seventh thing. He asked: O my Lord, who among Your servants is the most pious? Allah Almighty said: The one who remembers (Me) and does not forget. Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked: Who among Your servants is the most guided? Allah Almighty said: The one who follows guidance. Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked: Who among Your servants is the best judge? Allah Almighty said: The one who gives the same judgment for people as he gives for himself. Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked: Who among Your servants has the most knowledge? Allah Almighty said: The scholar who is not satiated with knowledge and gathers the knowledge of people along with his own knowledge. Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked: Who among Your servants is the strongest? Allah Almighty said: The one who forgives when he has the power (to take revenge). Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked: Who among Your servants is the most prosperous? Allah Almighty said: The one who is content with what he has been given. Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) asked: Who among Your servants is the poorest? Allah Almighty said: The one who has been given little.”The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Prosperity is not in possessions, rather prosperity is the richness of the heart. When Allah Almighty intends good for a servant, He places prosperity in his heart and instills piety in his heart. When Allah Almighty intends evil for a servant, He places poverty before his eyes.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The meaning of the words of the narrator“the one who is deficient”is the one whose condition is lacking, who considers what he has been given as little and desires more.
