It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Then We would have cut from him the aorta (al-watin)" [Al-Haqqah: 46] , that he said: It refers to that vein of the heart (the main artery) which is attached to the back. 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 Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said (commenting on the script or linguistic aspect of certain words of the Qur'an): What is the word "al-khatun"?! In fact it is "al-khati'un". And what is "al-sabun"?! In reality it is "al-sabi'un". 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 Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "A questioner asked about a punishment bound to happen" [Al-Ma'arij: 1] , that he said: It refers to a punishment that will certainly happen. And in "to the disbelievers; of it there is no preventer, from Allah, Owner of the ways of ascent (al-ma'arij)" [Al-Ma'arij: 2-3] , by "al-ma'arij" is meant Allah, the Owner of lofty ranks. He further said that by "a questioner asked" is meant al-Nadr bin al-Harith bin Kaladah, who said (in defiance): "O Allah, if this (religion) is the truth from You, then rain down upon us stones from the sky." 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 Busr bin Jihash al-Qurashi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these verses: "So what is the matter with those who disbelieve, hastening toward you, from the right and from the left, in separate groups? Does every person among them aspire to enter a Garden of bliss? No! Indeed, We have created them from that which they know" [Al-Ma'arij: 36-39] . Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spat on his palm and said: "Allah Almighty says: O son of Adam, how can you frustrate Me when I created you from something like this (a drop of fluid)? Then, when I had fashioned you completely and proportioned you, you began to walk upon the earth (swaggering) in two cloaks in such a way that the earth groaned under the tread of your feet. Then you gathered wealth and withheld it (from those entitled to it), until, when the soul reached the throat, you began to say: Now I will give charity. But where is the time for giving charity now?" 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) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And He made the moon therein a light" [Nuh: 16] , that he said: Its (the moon's) face is toward the Throne of Allah and its back is toward the earth. 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 Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) neither recited the Qur'an to the jinn nor saw them. Rather, he (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with a group of his Companions intending to go to the market of Ukaz, and (at that time) a barrier had been placed between the devils and the news of heaven, and burning flames (shooting stars) had been sent against them. So they (the devils) returned to their people and said: This is surely something new that has happened, so spread out across the east and west of the earth and see what this thing is that has happened. So they set out across the east and west of the earth, searching for this thing that had come between them and the news of heaven. Then, when they returned (having passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)) to their people, they said: "Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an, which guides to right conduct, so we have believed in it, and we will never associate anyone with our Lord" [Al-Jinn: 1-2] . Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) this verse: "Say: It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened (to my recitation)" [Al-Jinn: 1] ; and it was only the speech of the jinn that was revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it in this wording! However, Imam Muslim alone recorded it at length, in words other than these, through the narration of Dawud bin Abi Hind, from al-Sha'bi, from Alqamah, from Abdullah bin Mas'ud. And Imam Bukhari recorded, through the narration of Shu'bah, from al-A'mash, from Ibrahim, that he said: I asked Alqamah: Was Abdullah bin Mas'ud with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Night of the Jinn? And he mentioned a few words about it. And a hadith is narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), which trustworthy imams have narrated through an unknown man, that he was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Night of the Jinn.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions while he was in Makkah: "Whoever among you would like to be present tonight at the affair of the jinn, let him do so." None of them came except me. So we set out, until, when we reached the upper part of Makkah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) drew a line for me with his blessed foot, then ordered me to sit within it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went on until he stood and began reciting the Qur'an. Then many dark, shadow-like figures covered him (peace and blessings be upon him) and came between me and him (peace and blessings be upon him), until I could not even hear his (peace and blessings be upon him) voice. Then they began to leave, and went off breaking apart like pieces of cloud, until a small group of them remained. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished at dawn, went and relieved himself, then came to me and said: "What became of the group?" I said: O Messenger of Allah, there they are. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) took a bone and some dung and gave it to them as provision. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade anyone from cleaning himself after relieving himself (istinja') with a bone or dung.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will make him enter an ever-increasing punishment (sa'ad)" [Al-Jinn: 17] , that he said: (By "sa'ad" is meant) a mountain in Hell. 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) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "They almost became a crowd around him" [Al-Jinn: 19] , that he said: They (the jinn) would bow when he (peace and blessings be upon him) bowed and prostrate when he (peace and blessings be upon him) prostrated; that is, he was referring to the jinn. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sa'd bin Hisham (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I said to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): Tell me about the recitation of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (in prayer). She said: When these verses were revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "O you who are wrapped in garments, stand (in prayer) during the night, except for a little" [Al-Muzzammil: 1-2] , the Companions stood (in the night prayer, tahajjud) for a year, until their feet became swollen. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed (as a relief) this command: "So recite what is easy of the Qur'an. He knows that there will be among you some who are ill" [Al-Muzzammil: 20] . This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it!
