It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning this statement of Allah Almighty: "These are two opposing parties who dispute concerning their Lord" [Surah al-Hajj: 19] , that he said: This verse was revealed about us and about those who fought in single combat (on the battlefield) on the day of Badr, namely (we from the side of the Muslims, and from the side of the disbelievers) Utbah, Shaybah and al-Walid. This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and the two Shaykhs agreed on recording it through the narration of Imam al-Thawri.

Qays bin Ubad narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) swearing an oath that this verse was revealed on the day of Badr about this group of six people: (from the believers) Ali, Hamzah and Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with them), and (from the disbelievers) Shaybah bin Rabi'ah, Utbah bin Rabi'ah and al-Walid bin Utbah; (the statement of Allah the Exalted): "These are two opposing parties who dispute concerning their Lord" [Surah al-Hajj: 19] up to this statement of Allah: "We will make him taste a painful punishment" [Surah al-Hajj: 25] .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the verse "These are two opposing parties who dispute concerning their Lord" [Surah al-Hajj: 19] was revealed about those who engaged in single combat (mubarazah) on the day of Badr, namely (from the side of the Muslims) Hamzah bin Abd al-Muttalib, Ali and Ubaydah bin al-Harith, and (from the side of the disbelievers) Utbah bin Rabi'ah, Shaybah bin Rabi'ah and al-Walid bin Utbah. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will be the first person to fall upon his knees before Allah on the Day of Resurrection for the settlement of the dispute." With these narrations, this hadith is established as sahih (authentic) from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), just as it is established from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him), even though the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that this verse was revealed about Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions: "And never think of those who have been killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision" [Surah Al Imran: 169] . 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 recited this statement of Allah Almighty: "But those who disbelieved will have garments of fire cut out for them" [Surah al-Hajj: 19] , and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, boiling water will be poured over their heads, and it will pierce through the skull until it reaches their stomach, and it will melt whatever is in their stomach until it comes out from their feet. That is al-sahr (the melting). Then they will be restored as they were before." The chain of narration of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Hell (its fire) is black; neither its flames nor its embers give light. Then he recited this verse: "Every time they want to get out of it, from anguish, they will be returned to it" [Surah al-Hajj: 22] . The chain of narration of this hadith is sahih (authentic), 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) concerning this statement of Allah Almighty: "And whoever intends therein deviation by wrongdoing, We will make him taste a painful punishment" [Surah al-Hajj: 25] , that he said: If a person intends a sin, it is not written against him as long as he has not committed it. But if a person intends to kill someone near the House of Allah while he is in Aden Abyan (a distant place in Yemen), even then Allah will make him taste a painful punishment.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said concerning this statement of Allah Almighty: "And whoever intends therein deviation by wrongdoing, We will make him taste a painful punishment" [Surah al-Hajj: 25] : "If a person intends deviation (sin) in it (the Sanctuary) while he is in Aden Abyan, Allah Almighty will surely make him taste a painful punishment." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Ibn al-Zubayr, beware of deviation and violation of sanctity in the Sanctuary of Allah, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A man from Quraysh will commit ilhad (violation of sanctity) in it (the Sanctuary). If his sins were weighed against the sins of all jinn and mankind, his scale would outweigh them." The chain of narration 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 Tubba' (the king of Yemen) set out intending (to attack) the Ka'bah, until, when he reached the place called Kura' al-Ghamim, Allah Almighty sent against him such a violent wind that standing became difficult; whoever stood up would fall, and they faced severe distress. Tubba' summoned his two learned scholars (ahbar) and asked: "What is this wind that has been sent against me?" They said: "Do you grant us safety?" He said: "You are safe." They said: "You are intending a House which Allah Himself defends." Tubba' asked: "Then how will this affliction be removed from me?" They said: "Take off (your stitched clothes) and wear only two sheets, then say: 'Labbayk, labbayk (Here I am, here I am),' then enter (Makkah) and circumambulate that House, and do not disturb any of its inhabitants at all." Tubba' said: "If I firmly resolve to do this, will this wind leave me?" They said: "Yes." So he put on the two sheets of ihram and called out the Talbiyah. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: After that, the wind withdrew like pieces of a dark night. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
