It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah: "Then Adam received from his Lord words, and He accepted his repentance" [Surah al-Baqarah: 37] , that he said: Adam (peace be upon him) said: "O my Lord, did You not create me with Your hand?" Allah said: "Yes, indeed." He said: "O my Lord, did You not breathe into me of Your spirit?" Allah said: "Yes, indeed." He said: "O my Lord, did You not settle me in Your Paradise?" Allah said: "Yes, indeed." He said: "O my Lord, does Your mercy not take precedence over Your anger?" Allah said: "Yes, indeed." Adam (peace be upon him) said: "Tell me, if I repent and reform, will You return me to Paradise?" Allah said: "Yes." So this is the meaning of His saying: "Then Adam received from his Lord words." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No child of Hawwa (peace be upon her) would survive, so she vowed that if a child of hers survived she would name him Abd al-Harith (servant of al-Harith, and al-Harith was a name of Satan). Then a child of hers survived and she named him Abd al-Harith. That was only due to the whispering (and misleading) of Satan." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Adam (peace be upon him) passed away, the angels washed him with water an odd number of times (once, three or five times), and dug a niche grave (lahd) for him, and said: 'This is the sunnah of Adam (peace be upon him) for his children.'" Mention of Sayyiduna Nuh (peace be upon him): The scholars differ about Nuh and Idris (peace be upon them both). Some have said that Idris (peace be upon him) came before him, while most of the Companions hold that Nuh (peace be upon him) came before Idris (peace be upon him). May Allah's mercy and peace be upon them both. The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty sent Nuh (peace be upon him) at the age of forty, and he remained among his people for nine hundred and fifty years (a thousand years less fifty), calling them to the religion. And he lived for sixty years after the Flood, until people became many and spread out." The two Shaykhs agree on the hadith of intercession narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah and Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with them both) from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in which it says that the people will come to Nuh (peace be upon him) and say: "You are the first messenger sent to the earth."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husayn and Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The sons of Nuh (peace be upon him) were three: Sam, Ham, and Yafith, who is the father (forefather) of the Romans." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The leaders of the Prophets are five, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the leader of the five: Nuh, Ibrahim, Musa, Isa and Muhammad. May Allah's blessings descend upon them all." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), even though it is mawquf (stopping) at Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he mentioned the saying of Allah Almighty: "Indeed, We sent Nuh to his people" [Surah Nuh: 1] . Then he mentioned that Nuh (peace be upon him) was taking a bath, and he found his son looking at him, so he said: "You are looking at me while I am bathing? May Allah change your colour." So he became black, and he is the father of the Abyssinians (the black-skinned peoples). The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "Between Nuh and Adam (peace be upon them both) there were ten centuries, all of them upon a law of truth. Then they differed, so Allah Almighty sent Prophets as bearers of glad tidings and as warners." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "And it is likewise in the recitation of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): 'Mankind was one community, then they differed.'" This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If Allah Almighty had shown mercy to anyone of the people of Nuh, He would have shown mercy to the mother of the child." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Nuh (peace be upon him) remained among his people for nine hundred and fifty years, calling them to Allah, until, when his last days came, he planted a tree which grew very large and spread in every direction. Then he cut it down and began making a ship from it. The people mocked him and said: 'He is making a ship on dry land; how will it sail?!' He would reply: 'You will soon come to know.' Then when he had finished it and the oven gushed forth, and the water increased in the streets, the mother of the child feared for him (her child), and she loved him with an intense love. So she went out towards the mountain until she reached a third of it. Then when the water reached her there, she went further up until she reached two thirds of the mountain. Then when the water reached her there too, she went further up until she climbed onto the top of the mountain. Then when the water reached her neck, she lifted the child up with her hand, until the water carried the child away as well. So if Allah Almighty had shown mercy to anyone of them, He would have shown mercy to the mother of the child." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Our Lord gathered for Nuh (peace be upon him) the knowledge of all those who had passed before him, and supported him with a spirit from Himself. So he called his people secretly and openly for nine hundred and fifty years. Whenever one generation passed, another generation followed it, and their disbelief and rebellion only increased." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
