Malik bin Marthad (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that he said: I asked Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him): Did you hear the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mention the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr)? He said: "Yes!" I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me about the Night of Decree: is it in Ramadan or outside Ramadan? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, it is in Ramadan." I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me, was it with the prophets, so that when the prophets passed away it was taken up, or will it remain until the Day of Resurrection? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, rather it will remain until the Day of Resurrection." I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me in which part of Ramadan it is. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In the last ten; do not ask me about anything after this." I said: O Messenger of Allah, by the right I have upon you, I adjure you: in which part of the (last) ten is it? The narrator says: At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) became so severely angry with me that he had never been so angry with me before or after, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If Allah had willed, He would have informed you of it. Seek it in the last seven nights, and do not ask me about anything after this." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), 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: "Quraysh said to the Jews: 'Give us something to ask this man (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) about.' They said: 'Ask him about the soul (ruh).' So this verse was revealed: 'And they ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is of the command of my Lord, and you have not been given of knowledge except a little' [Surah al-Isra: 85] . The Jews (on hearing this) said: 'We are not such as have been given only a little knowledge; we have been given the Torah, in which is the ruling of Allah, and whoever has been given the Torah has been given a great deal of good.' At this, this verse was revealed: 'Say: If the sea were ink for the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement' [Surah al-Kahf: 109] ." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited Surah "Lam yakun" to him, and in it he also recited (these words): "Indeed, the true religion with Allah is the Hanifiyyah (the religion of Ibrahim), not Judaism, nor Christianity, nor Magianism; and whoever does good, it will never go unappreciated." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Mughirah (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I heard Fudayl bin Amr say to Abu Wa'il Shaqiq bin Salamah: Did you hear Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "Whoever says, 'I am a (certain) believer,' let him (then also claim and) say, 'I am in Paradise'"? He replied: "Yes." Mughirah says: Then Abu Wa'il Shaqiq bin Salamah began reciting "Those who disbelieved among the People of the Book were not" until he reached from "And they were not commanded except to worship Allah, making the religion sincerely His" up to "And that is the upright religion" [Surah al-Bayyinah: 1-5] , and he recited it while alluding to and refuting the Murji'ah (a misguided sect). The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me to recite (the Qur'an).' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: 'Recite three of the surahs that begin with (Alif Lam Ra).' The man said: 'My age has advanced, my heart has become hard, and my tongue has become heavy.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Then recite three of the surahs that begin with (Ha Mim).' He repeated the same thing again. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Then recite three of the Musabbihat (the surahs beginning with Sabbaha and Yusabbihu).' He again gave the same excuse and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me one comprehensive surah.' So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him "When the earth is shaken" (Surah al-Zalzalah) until he finished it. The man said: 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I will never add anything to it.' Then the man turned and left, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'This little man has succeeded.' Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the deeds that would keep him steadfast." 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 he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "That Day it will report its news" [Surah al-Zalzalah: 4] , and asked: "Do you know what its news is?" The Companions said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Its news is that it will bear witness against every male and female servant for what they did upon its back; it will say: He did such and such a deed on such and such a day. That is its news." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Abu Asma' al-Rahabi (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: Once Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was eating with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when this verse was revealed: "So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it" [Surah al-Zalzalah: 7-8] . So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) withheld (his hand from the food) and said: O Messenger of Allah, will we see every evil that we have done? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The painful and disliked things that befall you (in this world) are the recompense for those very evils, while the good is deferred for its people until the Hereafter." Its chain is sahih (authentic), 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 words of Allah Almighty: "By the chargers that pant", that he said: "This refers to horses." And concerning "And the strikers of sparks", he said: "(This refers to) a man when he strikes fire from a flint." And concerning "And the raiders at dawn", he said: "The horses that attack the enemy in the morning." And concerning "Stirring up thereby clouds of dust", he said: "The dust and earth (that they raise)." And concerning "Penetrating thereby into the midst of a host", he said: "The enemy (they plunge into the midst of the enemy's host)." And concerning "Indeed, man is ungrateful to his Lord", he said: "(Kanud means) an extremely ungrateful person."

It is narrated in mursal form from al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a servant dies, the souls of the believers meet his soul and ask him: What did so-and-so do (how is he)? If he says, 'He has died,' they say: He has been taken to his mother, Hawiyah (the pit of Hell); what an evil mother she is, and what an evil nurturer!" This hadith is mursal, but its chain is sahih (authentic). I did not find any hadith in the tafsir of this surah meeting the condition of this book, so I have recorded this one, since I did not consider it appropriate to leave it without a hadith.

Mutarrif bin Abdullah bin al-Shikhkhir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was reciting "Competition in increase diverts you" [Surah al-Takathur] , and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying: "The son of Adam says: My wealth, my wealth! Yet what is yours of your wealth except what you ate and consumed, or wore and wore out, or gave in charity and sent ahead?" The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but it is not on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), because Abdullah bin al-Shikhkhir has no narrator other than his son Mutarrif. However, when I looked into it, I found that Imam Muslim recorded it in abridged form from the hadith of Shu'bah, narrated from Qatadah.
