It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning this statement of Allah Almighty: "Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, except al-lamam (minor faults)" [Surah al-Najm: 32] , that he said: Al-lamam refers to the person who becomes involved in some sin or immoral deed and then repents from it. 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 Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him); the narrator says: I was with him and I said: "O Abu Hurayrah, in this statement of Allah Almighty, 'Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities' [Surah al-Najm: 32] , what is meant by al-lamam (minor sins)?" He replied: "Everything (among the preliminaries of zina) is al-lamam as long as 'the kohl stick has not entered the kohl container'; once it has entered, then that is zina (fornication)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, and they (the two Shaykhs) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you did not commit sins, Allah Almighty would bring a people who would commit sins, and Allah would forgive them." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it, and the hadith of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) is a supporting witness (shahid) for it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If the servants did not commit sins, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, would create a creation that would commit sins and then He would forgive them, and He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: O son of Adam, if you draw near to Me by a hand-span, I will draw near to you by a cubit; and if you draw near to Me by a cubit, I will draw near to you by an arm's length (ba'). O son of Adam, if you intend a good deed in your heart but do not do it, I will record it for you as one good deed; and if you do it, I will record it for you as ten; and if you intend an evil deed and awe of Me holds you back from it, I will record that too as a good deed for you; but if you commit it, I will record it as only one evil deed." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, and they (the two Shaykhs) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever remembers Allah Almighty within himself, Allah remembers him within Himself; and whoever remembers Allah in a gathering, Allah remembers him in a gathering that is more numerous and purer than the gathering in which he remembered Him. And whoever draws near to Allah by a hand-span, Allah draws near to him by a cubit; and whoever draws near to Allah by a cubit, Allah draws near to him by an arm's length; and whoever comes to Allah walking, Allah comes to him running; and whoever comes to Allah running, Allah comes to him (with His mercy) swiftly." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it with this wording.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will certainly enter Paradise, except the one who refuses (to enter Paradise) and runs away from Allah as a camel runs away from its owner." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it. However, Imam Bukhari has recorded it with these words: "All of my Ummah will enter Paradise except the one who refuses." It was said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who would refuse?" He said: "Whoever disobeys me has refused."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that Khalid bin Yazid asked him about the gentlest word he had heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "All of you will enter Paradise except the one who bolts away from Allah the way a camel bolts away from its owner."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the day Allah Almighty created the heavens and the earth, He created one hundred mercies; each mercy is as vast as the space between the earth and the heavens. Allah has distributed one of these mercies among all of creation; because of it a mother is tender towards her child, wild animals and birds drink water, and through it all creatures show mercy to one another. So when the Day of Resurrection comes, Allah Almighty will gather (even this one mercy) back to Himself and make it exclusive to the God-fearing, and He will increase it for them with ninety-odd more mercies." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it with this wording.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has one hundred mercies. He distributed one mercy among the people of this world, which suffices them until the end of their lives, and He has kept ninety-nine mercies in reserve (in the Hereafter) for His friends (awliya'). And on the Day of Resurrection Allah Almighty will join even that one mercy, which He had distributed among the people of this world, to those ninety-nine, so as to complete one hundred mercies for His friends." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it with this wording.
