It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning this saying of Allah Almighty, "Let those whom your right hands possess ask your permission" [Surah al-Nur: 58] , that he said: "(What is meant is) the women (slave girls), for the men (already) seek permission (from the master of the house)." 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 this saying of Allah Almighty, "But when you enter houses, give greetings of peace upon yourselves" [Surah al-Nur: 61] , that he said: "What is meant is the mosque; when you enter it, say: 'Assalamu alayna wa ala ibadillahis-salihin' (Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah)." 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 Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you enter your houses, greet the people of the house with salam, and when you eat, mention the name of Allah. For when one of you gives salam on entering his house and mentions the name of Allah over his food, Satan says to his companions: 'La mabita lakum wa la asha'a' (There is no place for you to spend the night (here), and no supper). And when one of you does not give salam (on entering) and does not mention the name of Allah over his food, Satan says to his companions: 'Adraktumul-mabita wal-asha'a' (You have found a place to spend the night, and supper)." This hadith is gharib (singular) in this chapter with respect to both its chain and its text, and concerning Muhammad bin al-Hasan al-Makhzumi, I fear that he is Ibn Zabalah; and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Imam al-Hakim Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Hafiz dictated this in Rajab of the year 400 AH.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "On the Day of Resurrection, before midday comes, these (the people of Paradise) and those (the people of Hell) will already have taken their qaylulah (midday rest)." Then he recited this verse: "Indeed, their place of midday rest will be the Blazing Fire" [Surah al-Saffat: 68] . 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 Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "How will the people of Hell be gathered on their faces?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the One who made them walk on their feet is able to make them walk on their faces."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked: "O Messenger of Allah! 'Those who will be gathered on their faces' [Surah al-Furqan: 34] (what is their case)?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the One who made them walk on their feet is able to gather them on their faces." When these two chains are combined, this hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Ma'add bin Adnan bin Udad bin Zand bin al-Bara, (who is) of (the descendants of) A'raq al-Thara." She said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "And (We destroyed) Ad and Thamud and the people of the well (Ashab al-Rass), and many generations between them" [Surah al-Furqan: 38] , whom none knows except Allah. Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: By A'raq al-Thara is meant Isma'il bin Ibrahim (peace be upon them both), by Zand is meant Hamaysa', and by Bara is meant Nabt. 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: "No year has more rain than another year; rather, Allah Almighty distributes it (the rainwater) wherever He wills." Then he recited this verse: "And We have certainly set it forth among them in various ways (or: distributed it among them)" [Surah al-Furqan: 50] . 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). Sa'id bin Jubayr says: Abd al-Rahman bin Abza instructed me to ask Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about these two verses, what their ruling is: one that is in Surah al-Furqan, "And those who do not invoke another deity along with Allah, nor kill the soul which Allah has made sacred except by right" [Surah al-Furqan: 68] , and the other that is in Surah al-Nisa, "And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell" [Surah al-Nisa: 93] . He said: I asked Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) about this, and he said: When the verse of Surah al-Furqan was revealed, the polytheists of Makkah began to say: "We have killed souls which Allah had made sacred, we have invoked other deities along with Allah, and we have committed indecencies as well (so what will become of us?)." Then this verse was revealed: "Except the one who repents, believes and does righteous deeds" [Surah al-Furqan: 70] . So this (room for repentance) was for those people. But as for the verse of Surah al-Nisa, "And whoever kills a believer intentionally," it concerns the man who has come to know Islam and acts upon the teachings of Islam, and then kills a believer intentionally; his recompense is Hell and there is no repentance for him. Sa'id bin Jubayr says: I mentioned this to Imam Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him), and he said: "Except the one who (sincerely) regrets." 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: Some people from among the polytheists (who had committed a great deal of killing and a great deal of fornication) said: "O Messenger of Allah! The religion to which you invite us is very good; if only you would tell us that there is also an expiation for the sins we have committed (in the past)!" So Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "And those who do not invoke another deity along with Allah" [Surah al-Furqan: 68] , and this verse was also revealed: "Say: O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah" [Surah al-Zumar: 53] . This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
