Amir bin Sa'd narrates from his father (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The believer's sins are wiped away (through hardships and afflictions)." 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) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) related from al-Ruh al-Amin (the Trustworthy Spirit, Jibril, peace be upon him) that the Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, said: "A servant's good deeds and bad deeds will be brought, and they will be settled (evened out) against one another; then, if even a single good deed remains, Allah will make room for him in Paradise." The narrator says: Then I went to Yazdad, and he also narrated the hadith in the same way. I asked him: What if the good deeds are used up (that is, the bad deeds equal them)? He said: Recite this verse: "Those are the ones from whom We accept the best of what they did and overlook their misdeeds, (they will be) among the companions of Paradise; a true promise which they had been promised." [Surah al-Ahqaf: 16] I asked him: What is your view of this saying of Allah Almighty: "No soul knows what joy for the eyes has been kept hidden for them as a reward for what they used to do" [Surah al-Sajdah: 17] ? He said: The deed a servant does in secret, of which people have no knowledge, its reward is upon Allah, the Mighty and Majestic; so on the Day of Resurrection Allah too will reveal for him a joy for the eyes that has been kept hidden (until then). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration through the Yemeni narrators, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Al-Hakam bin Aban says: I came to Abu Salamah Yazdad and asked him: What if the good deeds are used up and nothing remains? He said: Recite from "Those are the ones from whom We accept the best of what they did" up to "which they had been promised" [Surah al-Ahqaf: 16] .

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: "Some people will wish (on the Day of Resurrection) that they had committed many more bad deeds."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This Ummah will be gathered divided into three groups: one group that will enter Paradise without reckoning, one group whose reckoning will be light (easy), and one group that will come carrying sins like firm mountains on their backs. Allah Almighty will ask about them - though He knows them best - Who are these people? They (the angels) will say: These are servants from among Your servants. Then Allah will say: Remove (the burden of their sins) from them and place it upon the Jews and the Christians, and admit them into Paradise by My mercy."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have committed a sin that carries a prescribed punishment (hadd). The narrator says: He (peace and blessings be upon him) did not ask him anything about it. Then the prayer was established, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer, the man said again: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I have committed a sin that carries a prescribed punishment, so carry out (the punishment of) the Book of Allah upon me. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you pray with us?" He said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have been forgiven."

It is narrated from Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was standing in the market during the governorship of Ziyad when, in amazement, I suddenly struck one of my hands against the other. A man from the Ansar - whose father was a Companion of the Messenger of Allah - asked: O Abu Burdah, what are you amazed at? I said: I am astonished at people whose religion is one, whose Prophet is one, whose call is one, whose Hajj and jihad are one, and yet they consider it lawful to shed one another's blood. He said: Do not be amazed, for I heard my father say that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, this Ummah of mine is an Ummah that has been shown mercy; in the Hereafter there is no reckoning and no punishment upon it. Its punishment has been placed only (in this world) in the form of killing, earthquakes and trials." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
