It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The lowest in rank among the people of Paradise will be the one who will look over his kingdom extending a journey of two thousand years, and the most excellent of them in rank will be those who will behold the Face of Allah twice every day." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Some faces, that Day, will be radiant" [Al-Qiyamah: 22] ; he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is, white and shining faces." "Looking at their Lord" [Al-Qiyamah: 23] ; he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They will be looking at the Face of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, every day." This hadith is an explanatory proof in refutation of the innovators. And although the two Shaykhs did not narrate from Thuwayr bin Abi Fakhitah, no criticism has been made of him other than his Shi'ism (tashayyu').

It is narrated from Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): Is "Woe to you, and woe!" [Al-Qiyamah: 34] something that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said (on his own), or is it something Allah Almighty revealed? He said: These words were said by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then Allah Almighty revealed it (in the Qur'an). 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 Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Is not that (Creator) able to give life to the dead?" [Al-Qiyamah: 40] , he would say: "Bala" (Yes indeed, He is certainly able); and whenever he recited: "Is not Allah the most just of judges?" [Al-Tin: 8] , he would say: "Bala" (Yes indeed, He certainly is). 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 Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited from the opening verse of Surah al-Dahr, "Has there come upon man a period of time when he was not a thing worth mentioning?" [Al-Insan: 1] , to its end. Then he said: "I see what you do not see, and I hear what you do not hear. The heaven creaks, and it has the right to creak, for there is not in it a space the size of four fingers except that an angel is placing his forehead in prostration before Allah. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much, and you would not take pleasure in your women on your beds; rather, you would go out into the open plains, crying out in supplication before Allah Almighty." (Sayyiduna Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, further said:) By Allah, I wish that I were a tree that would be cut down. 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 al-Bara' bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And its clusters of fruit will be lowered in humility" [Al-Insan: 14] , that he said: (The fruits of Paradise) will be made so subservient to them that they will be able to pick them however they wish (sitting, lying or standing). 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 mentioned the mounts of the people of Paradise, then recited this saying of Allah Almighty: "And when you look there, you will see bliss and a great kingdom" [Al-Insan: 20] ; he took it to mean their mounts. 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 Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "By those sent forth in succession" [Al-Mursalat: 1] , that he said: It refers to the angels who have been sent with commands of goodness and virtue. 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 Khalid bin Ar'arah (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man stood up before Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: What is meant by "al-'asifat 'asfan" (those that blow violently)? He said: It refers to the fierce, violent winds. 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 he was asked about this verse: "Indeed, it throws sparks like the qasar" [Al-Mursalat: 32] , and he said: In the days of ignorance (Jahiliyyah) we used to gather pieces of wood two or three cubits long into a heap and store them away for the winter, and we called it "al-qasar". The narrator said: I also heard Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), when he was asked about "yellow camels (jimalatun sufr)" [Al-Mursalat: 33] , say: It refers to the thick ropes of ships that are joined to one another until they become as thick as the waists of men. 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 he said: When Allah Almighty willed to create the creation, He sent a wind which pushed the water aside until a dry patch of land appeared, and this is the very place that is beneath the Ka'bah. Then Allah spread out the earth from there until He gave it as much length and breadth as He willed. He said: The earth was spreading out like this, and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) showed it spreading this way and that with a gesture of his hand. Then he said: Allah Almighty made the mountains as pegs for the earth, and Mount Abu Qubays was the first mountain placed upon the earth. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
