It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Luqman (the Wise), while advising his son, said: O my dear son! Beware of muffling your face with a veil (whether out of arrogance or for any other reason), for at night it is a cause of alarm to others (because of its frightening appearance), and by day it is a cause of disgrace." This text is a supporting narration (shahid) and its chain is sahih (authentic), and Allah knows best.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he recited this saying of Luqman (peace be upon him) to his son: "And be moderate in your walk and lower your voice" [Surah Luqman: 19] , and said: "Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out, the Companions would walk ahead of him (peace and blessings be upon him) and leave the space behind his (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed back empty for the angels." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Abu Khaythamah Zuhayr bin Mu'awiyah says: I asked Abu al-Zubayr: Did you hear Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) mention that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not sleep until he had recited "Alif Lam Mim. The revelation" [Surah al-Sajdah: 1-2] and "Blessed is He in whose hand is the dominion" [Surah al-Mulk: 1] ? Abu al-Zubayr said: Safwan, or Abu Safwan, narrated it to me. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it, because it revolves around the narration of Layth bin Abi Sulaym from Abu al-Zubayr.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning this saying of Allah Almighty: "He arranges the affair from the heaven to the earth; then it ascends to Him in a Day whose measure is a thousand years of what you count" [Surah al-Sajdah: 5] , that he said: "This is from among the six days in which Allah Almighty created the heavens and the earth; then the command ascends to Him." 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 Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at al-Batha when a cloud passed by, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you know what this is?" We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is al-sahab (cloud)." We too said: It is cloud. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And this is al-muzn (rain-bearing cloud)." We too said: It is al-muzn. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And this is al-'anan (cloud spread across the horizon of the sky)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent for a while, then asked: "Do you know how much distance there is between the heaven and the earth?" We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Between the two is a distance of five hundred years' journey, and from each heaven to the next heaven is also a distance of five hundred years' journey, and the thickness of each heaven is five hundred years' journey. Above the seventh heaven is a sea, between whose top and bottom is as much distance as there is between the earth and the heaven. Then above that are eight aw'al (angels in the form of mountain goats), (whose height) is equal to the distance between the earth and the heaven, and Allah Almighty is above all of that, and nothing of the deeds of the children of Adam is hidden from Him." 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 Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Battle of Tabuk, and we were afflicted by intense heat. The people scattered here and there (in search of shade), and I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the closest of them to me. I drew near to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed that will admit me into Paradise and keep me far from the Fire. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have asked about a very great matter, yet it is very easy for the one for whom Allah makes it easy: that you worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him, establish the obligatory prayers, pay the obligatory zakah, and fast in Ramadan." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, shall I not tell you about the gates of Paradise?" I said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fasting is a shield, charity wipes out sins (just as water extinguishes fire), and a servant's standing (in prayer) in the darkness of the night for the sake of Allah's pleasure." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Their sides forsake their beds; they call upon their Lord in fear and hope, and they spend out of what We have provided them." [Surah al-Sajdah: 16] Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, shall I not tell you about the root of this religion, its pillar and its peak?" I said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The root of the religion is Islam, its pillar is the prayer, and its peak is jihad in the path of Allah. And if you wish, shall I not tell you about the foundation of all these things (upon which all of them depend)?" The narrator says: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) fell silent, and meanwhile two riders were coming towards us swiftly. I feared that they would distract him (peace and blessings be upon him) from my matter, so I said: O Messenger of Allah, what is it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his blessed finger towards his tongue. I said: O Messenger of Allah, will we also be taken to account for what we say with our tongues? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn Jabal, may your mother lose you! What else will throw people on their noses into Hell except the harvest of their tongues (evil speech)?" 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 Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was describing the qualities of Paradise, until he (peace and blessings be upon him) completed his words, then he said: "In it (Paradise) are such blessings as no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard, and which have never occurred to the heart of any human being." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Their sides forsake their beds." [Surah al-Sajdah: 16] Abu Sakhr says: I mentioned this to Imam al-Qurazi, and he said: These people concealed their deeds for the sake of Allah, so Allah also kept their reward concealed for them; so when they present themselves before Allah, their eyes will be comforted. 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 Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: It is written in the Torah that Allah Almighty has prepared, for those whose sides forsake their beds (that is, those who pray tahajjud), that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and which has never occurred to the heart of any human being, and which no angel brought near knows nor any prophet sent as a messenger. He said: And we read it (in the Qur'an) thus: [Surah al-Sajdah: 17] "So no soul knows what has been kept hidden for them of the comfort of the eyes, as a reward for what they used to do." 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 Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning this saying of Allah Almighty: "And We will surely let them taste the nearer punishment short of the greater punishment" [Surah al-Sajdah: 21] , that he said: (What is meant by it) is the day of the Battle of Badr. 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 heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "No servant has been given any gift better than patience or more expansive than it." The two Shaykhs agreed on recording these words of the hadith from Imam Malik (in their books) with this chain, (in the report) that some people of the Ansar asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and at the end of that long hadith these words occur; but they did not record it in the wording found with Ishaq bin Sulayman.
