It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And We placed upon his throne a body" [Surah Sad: 34] , that he said: What is meant by it is the devil who sat on his throne for forty days, judging between people. Sayyiduna Sulayman (peace be upon him) had a slave-girl named "Jaradah". There was a dispute between some of her family and his people. Sayyiduna Sulayman (peace be upon him) did judge between them with the truth, but a wish arose in his heart that the right would turn out to be on the side of her family. Then Allah Almighty revealed to him that he would soon be afflicted with a trial, and he did not know whether this trial would come from the heavens or from the earth. 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 Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that, while in a garden in Ta'if called "al-Waht", he related: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Sayyiduna Sulayman bin Dawud (peace be upon him) asked Allah Almighty for three things. Allah granted him two of them, and I hope that Allah has granted him the third as well. He asked Allah for judgement (the ability to judge) that would accord with Allah's judgement, and Allah granted it to him. He asked Allah for a kingdom that would befit no one after him, and Allah granted that to him too. And he asked that any man who leaves his house intending nothing but to pray in this mosque, meaning Bayt al-Maqdis, would come out of his sins as pure as on the day his mother gave birth to him." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And we hope that Allah Almighty has granted him this (third) one as well."

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast (voluntary fasts) so much that we would say he would not stop fasting now, and when he stopped fasting we would say he would not fast now.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): "Indeed, you will die, and indeed, they will die. Then indeed, on the Day of Resurrection, you will dispute before your Lord" [Surah al-Zumar: 30-31] , I said: "Will the dealings that took place between us in the world be brought up again, along with the particular sins?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, they will certainly be brought up again before you, until every rightful claimant is given his right." Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "By Allah, then the matter is very severe."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: We used to say that there is no repentance for one who has fallen into trial (and abandoned the faith), and that Allah will not accept anything from him. But when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, this verse was revealed concerning them: "Say: O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful" [Surah al-Zumar: 53] , and the verses after it as well. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I wrote these verses, mounted my camel and went around Madinah (reciting them to the people). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained in Makkah, waiting for Allah Almighty to grant him and his Muhajir companions permission to emigrate, while Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) remained waiting for permission to be given to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he could set out with him.

So it becomes a source of regret for him. And every one of the people of Paradise sees his place in Hell (from which he was saved), and he says: 'Had Allah not guided me (I would have been here)!' So it becomes a cause of gratitude for him." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "Lest a soul should say: 'Alas for me over what I neglected in regard to Allah.'" [Surah al-Zumar: 56] 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 Mujahid that he said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) asked me: "Do you know how vast Hell is?" I said: "No." He said: "Yes, by Allah, you do not know. Indeed, between the earlobe of one of them (the people of Hell) and his shoulder is a distance of seventy years' travel, in which there are valleys of pus and blood." I asked: "Are they rivers?" He said: "No, rather they are valleys." Then he asked: "Do you know how vast Hell is?" I said: "No." He said: "Yes, by Allah, you do not know. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) told me that she asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And the whole earth will be in His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand" [Surah al-Zumar: 67] . I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, where will the people be on that day?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'On the bridge (Sirat) over Hell.'"
