It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Hisham bin Amir that he asked the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, "And indeed you are of a great moral character" [Al-Qalam: 4] : O Mother of the Believers, tell me about the character of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: Do you not read the Qur'an? I said: Of course. She said: "Indeed, the character of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the Qur'an." 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) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, "cruel, and moreover of doubtful birth (zanim)" [Al-Qalam: 13] , that he said: "('Zanim' is one who) is known for his evil just as a goat is known by the piece of flesh hanging from its ear ('zanamah')." 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 he recited this verse: "A preventer of good, a transgressor, a sinner, cruel, and moreover of doubtful birth", and said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The people of Hell are everyone who is ill-mannered, rough, arrogant and a hoarder of wealth, while the people of Paradise are the weak who are kept oppressed (in this world)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but they did not record it with this wording, although the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) recorded it in brief from the narration of Harithah bin Wahb.

It is narrated that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "On the Day when the shin will be laid bare" [Al-Qalam: 42] , and he said: "When some meaning of the Qur'an is hidden from you, then seek it in poetry, for it is the register (diwan) of the Arabs. Have you not heard the words of the poet: 'O Anaq, be patient, for this is an evil that still remains; your people have established for me the practice of striking necks, and war has risen up among us in its full severity (upon its "shin").' Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: This refers to the Day of Resurrection, which will be a day of extreme distress and severity." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and it is more worthy than a hadith narrated from Ibn Mas'ud with a sahih chain, which I did not consider appropriate to narrate in this place.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "He imposed it upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession (husuman)" [Al-Haqqah: 7] , that he said: "(By 'husuman' is meant) continuous and successive (days and nights)." 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 Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And the earth and the mountains are lifted and crushed with a single crushing" [Al-Haqqah: 14] , that he said: "The two of them (the earth and the mountains) will be crushed to pieces and become dust, which will fall upon the faces of the disbelievers but not upon the faces of the believers. And this is the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: 'And some faces, that Day, will have dust upon them; darkness will cover them' [Abasa: 40, 41] ." 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 Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "And eight will bear the Throne of your Lord above them that Day" [Al-Haqqah: 17] , that he said: "(This refers to) eight angels in the form of mountain goats (aw'al); the distance from their hooves to their knees is equal to a journey of sixty-three years." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Although Shu'ayb bin Khalid, al-Walid bin Abi Thawr and Amr bin Thabit have also narrated it from Simak bin Harb as marfu' (attributing it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)), the two Shaykhs did not use any of them as evidence. I have mentioned the hadith of Shu'ayb bin Khalid because he is the closest of them to being used as evidence.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at al-Batha' when suddenly a cloud passed by, and the people looked at it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them: "Do you know what its name is?" The Companions said: Yes, this is a cloud (sahab). the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And (it is also called) 'al-muzn'." They said: And (it is also called) 'al-muzn'. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And (it is also called) 'al-'anana'." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you know how great the distance is between the heaven and the earth?" They said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The distance between the two of them is a journey of either seventy-one, or seventy-two, or seventy-three years; and the heaven above it is likewise (at the same distance), and Allah Almighty is above all of that; nothing of the deeds of the children of Adam is hidden from Him. And in the seventh heaven there are eight mountain goats (angels), the distance between whose hooves and knees is like the distance from one heaven to another."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "with water like molten brass (muhl)" [Al-Kahf: 29] : "It will be like the dregs of oil; when it is brought near to him (to drink), the skin of his face will fall off (from its heat). And if a single bucket of 'ghislin' (the washings of the wounds of the people of Hell) were poured out in this world, it would make all the people of the world stink." 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 the saying of Allah Almighty: "Then We would have cut from him the aorta (al-watin)" [Al-Haqqah: 46] , that he said: It refers to "niyat al-qalb", that is, the vein of the heart. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
