It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Anas al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites one thousand verses in the way of Allah, Allah Almighty will record him with the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When your brothers were martyred at the Battle of Uhud, Allah Almighty placed their souls inside green birds that come down to the rivers of Paradise, eat from its fruits, and rest in lamps of gold hanging in the shade of the Throne. When they saw the purity and delight of their food, their drink and their resting place, they said: 'Who will convey to our brothers the message that we are alive in Paradise and are being given provision, so that they do not lose interest in jihad and do not shrink back from battle?' Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: 'I will convey this message to them on your behalf.'" The narrator said: Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And never think of those who have been killed in the way of Allah as dead" [Surah Al Imran: 169] . This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever goes out of his house with the intention of jihad in the way of Allah." The narrator said: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) joined his three fingers together and said: "And where are those who strive in the way of Allah (in their great reward)? Whoever goes out in the way of Allah, then falls from his mount and dies, his reward is established with Allah; and if an animal stings him and he dies, his reward is established with Allah; and whoever dies a natural death," The narrator said: This is an expression (hatf anfihi) that I had not heard from any Arab before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), meaning to die on one's bed, "his reward is established with Allah; and whoever is killed suddenly (on the battlefield), Paradise becomes obligatory for him." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Mutarrif bin Abdullah; he said: A hadith used to reach me from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), and I longed to meet him. When I met him, I said: O Abu Dharr, a hadith narrated from you reached me, and because of it I wanted to meet you. He said: May Allah bless your father, now you have met me. I said: The hadith is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to you. He said: "Indeed Allah Almighty loves three people and hates three." Then he said three times: I cannot lie against my Khalil (peace and blessings be upon him). I asked: Who are those whom Allah loves? He said: "A man who went out in the way of Allah with patience, seeking reward and for the sake of jihad; he met the enemy and fought until he was martyred. You also find mention of him in the revealed Book of Allah." Then he recited this verse: "Indeed Allah loves those who fight in His way in ranks as though they were a solid structure joined with lead" [Surah al-Saff: 4] . I asked: And who else? He said: "A man who has a bad neighbour who harms him, but he bears his harm patiently until Allah spares him (from that evil), either in his life or through death." I asked: And who else? He said: "A traveller who journeys with a group; they travel through the night until, in the last part of the night, sleep overcomes them and they lie down exhausted, and that man stands up and performs ablution (and prays) out of fear of Allah and seeking the reward that is with Him." I asked: Who are the three whom Allah hates? He said: "The arrogant and the boastful; you find him too in the Book of Allah: 'Indeed Allah does not love anyone arrogant and boastful' [Surah Luqman: 18] ." I asked: And who else? He said: "The miser who reminds others of his favours." I asked: And who else? He said: "The merchant who sells his goods by swearing oaths." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever shades the head of a fighter, Allah Almighty will grant him His shade on the Day of Resurrection; and whoever equips a fighter with the provisions of jihad until he is able to set out with his equipment, he will have a reward equal to that of the fighter." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and Imam Bukhari used Uthman bin Abdullah bin Suraqah as evidence; he is the daughter's son of the Commander of the Faithful, Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). A supporting narration (shahid) for this hadith is also narrated from the hadith of Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever helps a mujahid in the way of Allah, or assists a debtor in hardship in his difficulty, or helps a mukatab slave in freeing his neck (gaining his freedom), Allah Almighty will give him a place in His shade on the Day when there is no shade except His shade."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came with a she-camel fitted with a nose-rein and said: This is (dedicated) in the way of Allah. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In return for it, you will receive on the Day of Resurrection seven hundred she-camels, all of them fitted with nose-reins." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but Imam Bukhari did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever wages jihad in the way of Allah is under the guarantee of Allah; whoever goes to a ruler whom he honours is also under the guarantee of Allah; and whoever sits in his house and does not backbite anyone with evil is also under the guarantee of Allah." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to go on a military expedition and said: "O company of the Muhajirun and the Ansar, among your brothers are some people who have neither wealth nor tribe, so let each of you take two or three men along with him. And we have room to ride our camel only by turns, just as each one of them will have his turn." Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: So I too took two or three people along with me, and my situation was that I had only as many turns riding the camel as each one of them had. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim al-Ta'i (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Which charity is the best? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Providing the service of a servant in the way of Allah, or providing the shade of a tent (for the mujahidin), or giving a young male camel fit for breeding in the way of Allah (for breeding or riding)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
