Imam al-Nasa'i narrated a hadith of similar meaning from Sufyan al-Thawri, from Ja'far bin Muhammad, from his father, as a mursal report (that is, the Companion is not mentioned in its chain).

It is narrated from Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) that, in explaining this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "The mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, O people of the house" [Surah Hud: 73] , he said: I was with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) when a man came and greeted him with salam, and I replied: "Wa 'alaykum al-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu wa maghfiratuhu (and upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, His blessings and His forgiveness)." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) (correcting me) said: "Stop where the angels stopped (that is, in returning the salam do not go beyond 'wa barakatuhu', for these are the words of the angels mentioned in the Qur'an)." This is a gharib (unusual) sahih (authentic) hadith narrated from Imam al-Thawri; to my knowledge it has been written only with this chain, and 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 when the angels sent by Allah came to Sayyiduna Lut (peace be upon him), he thought they were ordinary guests who had met him. So he brought them close to himself and seated them, and he brought his daughters, who were three, and seated them between his guests and his people (as protection). Then his people came rushing towards him. When Sayyiduna Lut (peace be upon him) saw them, he said: "These are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear Allah and do not disgrace me concerning my guests" [Surah Hud: 78] . They said: "You know that we have no right (interest) in your daughters, and you know well what we want. Lut (peace be upon him) said: If only I had strength against you, or could take refuge in a strong support" [Surah Hud: 79-80] . Then Jibril (peace be upon him) turned to him and said: "Indeed, we are the messengers (angels) of your Lord; they will never reach you" [Surah Hud: 81] . The narrator said: Then Jibril (peace be upon him) wiped out (blinded) their eyes, and they turned back, climbing over one another, until they reached those who were at the door and said: "We have come to you from where the greatest sorcerer is; he has taken away our sight." So they ran, tumbling over one another, until they entered the town. Then in some part of the night the town was lifted up until it was between the earth and the sky, and the townspeople could hear the voices of birds in the air. Then it was overturned and the town fell upon them. Whoever it caught was destroyed, and whoever fled from there, stones pursued him and killed him. The narrator said: Then Sayyiduna Lut (peace be upon him) set out with his three daughters until, when he reached a certain place in Syria, his eldest daughter died, and a spring gushed forth there which is called "al-Wariyyah". Then he went on as far as Allah willed, and his youngest daughter also died, and a spring gushed forth there too which is called "al-Dhughariyyah". So of them only the middle daughter remained. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it. Someone might imagine that this and similar reports are among the mawquf reports (sayings of the Companions), but that is not so, because when a Companion explains the recitation of the Qur'an, it has the ruling of a musnad (marfu') report according to the two Shaykhs.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that some people saw a fire in the graveyard and went there. They saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was inside the grave, saying: "Hand your companion over to me (that is, lower him into the grave)." And this was the man who was "awwah" (that is, one who wept much and raised his voice in the remembrance of Allah). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "We relate to you the best of stories" [Surah Yusuf: 3] , that he said: When the Qur'an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited it to them for a period of time. The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! If only you would narrate some stories to us." So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed these verses: from "Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book" up to "We relate to you the best of stories". Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) related (this story) to them for a period of time. They said: "O Messenger of Allah! If only you would tell us some accounts." So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "Allah has sent down the best of speech, a Book consistent in its parts" [Surah al-Zumar: 23] . Through all of this they were directed to the Qur'an itself. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people with the most accurate insight (discernment) are three: first, the Aziz of Egypt, when he said to his wife (about Sayyiduna Yusuf, peace be upon him): "Make his stay comfortable; perhaps he will benefit us or we may adopt him as a son" [Surah Yusuf: 21] ; second, the woman (Sayyidah Safurah) who said (to her father about Sayyiduna Musa, peace be upon him): "O my father, hire him; indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and trustworthy" [Surah al-Qasas: 26] ; and third, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), when he chose Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) (for the caliphate) through his insight. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: I heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) recite (the word) "hayta lak" [Surah Yusuf: 23] . When he was asked about this (regarding its recitation), he said: "This is how we were taught." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), regarding this saying of Allah Almighty: "Had he not seen the proof of his Lord" [Surah Yusuf: 24] , that he said: (At that moment) the likeness of Sayyiduna Ya'qub (peace be upon him) appeared before him; he struck Yusuf (peace be upon him) on the chest, and his desire left him through his fingertips. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him) made three slips: first, when he inclined towards that woman, and he was imprisoned; second, his saying to that man: "Mention me to your lord (the king)," so he remained in prison for several years, because Satan made him forget the mention of his lord; and third, his saying (to his brothers): "Indeed, you are thieves." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding this saying of Allah Almighty: "The matter about which you both inquire has been decided" [Surah Yusuf: 41] , that when those two prisoners described the dreams they had seen and Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him) gave their interpretation, one of them said (in fear): "We did not see anything at all." At this Yusuf (peace be upon him) said: "The matter about which you both inquired has been decided." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.
