It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Today everyone in Kufah is well-off; even the lowest in rank among them drinks the water of the Euphrates, sits in the shade and eats bread of wheat. Yet this verse, 'And if Allah were to extend provision for His servants, they would rebel on the earth; but He sends down in due measure whatever He wills' [Surah al-Shura: 27] , was revealed concerning the People of the Suffah, because they had said, wishing for the world: If only we had (wealth and goods)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever commits a sin in this world and is punished for it, then Allah is far too just to punish His servant a second time (for the same sin). And whoever commits a sin and Allah conceals it for him and pardons him, then Allah is far too generous to go back to something He has already pardoned." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it. However, Ishaq bin Ibrahim recorded it under this saying of Allah Almighty: "And whatever misfortune befalls you is because of what your hands have earned" [Surah al-Shura: 30] .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) that some of his companions came to him while he was afflicted with a bodily illness, and one of them said: "It grieves us greatly to see you in this condition." At this he said: "Do not be saddened by what you see, for this condition is because of a sin, and what Allah pardons is far more than this." Then Imran (may Allah be pleased with him) recited this verse: "And whatever misfortune befalls you is because of what your own hands have earned, and He pardons much." [Surah al-Shura: 30] This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and 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). Abu Zabyan says: We were reviewing the copies of the Qur'an with Alqamah, and he recited this verse: "Indeed, in that are signs for those who have certainty," and said that Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Certainty is the whole of faith." And he recited this verse: "Indeed, in that are signs for everyone who is patient and grateful" [Surah al-Shura: 33] , and said that Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Patience is half of faith." This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: On the day of Uhud, sixty-four of the Ansar and six of the Muhajirun were martyred, among whom was Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the polytheists mutilated their bodies. At this the Ansar said: "If we ever get such an opportunity against them, we will take revenge on them beyond this." Then, when the day of the Conquest of Makkah came, Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And if you retaliate, then retaliate with the like of what you were made to suffer; but if you are patient, it is certainly better for those who are patient." [Surah al-Nahl: 126] This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And indeed, you guide to a straight path" [Surah al-Shura: 52] , that he said: "What is meant by the straight path is Islam, and it is wider than the distance between the earth and the heaven." This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and 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 the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And indeed, you guide to a straight path" [Surah al-Shura: 52] , that he said: "What is meant by it is the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic (the Qur'an)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) whether, in the verse "And they have made the angels, who are the servants of the Most Merciful" [al-Zukhruf: 19] , it is 'ibad al-Rahman' (the servants of the Most Merciful) or ''inda al-Rahman' (with the Most Merciful). He replied: 'ibad al-Rahman'. I said: But in my copy of the Qur'an it is written ''inda al-Rahman'! He said: Erase it and write 'ibad al-Rahman'. 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) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Is it they who distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have distributed among them" [Surah al-Zukhruf: 32] , that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has distributed your characters among you just as He has distributed your provisions among you. And indeed, Allah Almighty gives the world both to those He loves and to those He does not love, but He gives the religion only to those He loves. So whoever Allah has given the wealth of the religion, Allah has loved him." This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Qatadah that he recited this verse: "So even if We take you away (from the world), We will surely take retribution on them" [al-Zukhruf: 41] , and then said that Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed, but the retribution (punishment) remained. Allah Almighty did not show His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) anything displeasing in his Ummah that would pain his (peace and blessings be upon him) eyes until he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away. And there was no prophet who did not see punishment in his Ummah (during his own lifetime), except your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This hadith is sahih (authentic) in its chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
