It is narrated from Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I was with Ubaydullah bin Ziyad when the heads of the Khawarij were brought there. Whenever a head was carried past him, he would say: This one goes to the Fire. So Abdullah bin Yazid said to him: Do you not know that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The punishment of this Ummah has been placed in its own hands, in this very world of it." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. However, Imam Muslim alone recorded the hadith of Talhah bin Yahya from Abu Burdah from Abu Musa: "My Ummah is an Ummah that has been shown mercy."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: I heard a hadith from the blessed mouth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); had I heard it only once or twice - until he counted up to seven times - (I might not have narrated it), but I heard it far more often than that. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among the Children of Israel there was a man called Kifl who would not refrain from any sin. A woman came to him, and he gave her sixty dinars (for fornication). When he sat with her the way a husband sits with his wife, the woman began to tremble and weep. He asked: Why are you weeping? Have I forced you? She said: No, but this is something I have never done; only my need and hardship have driven me to it. He said: You have never done this, and now (out of hardship) you are doing it? The narrator says: Then he moved away from her and said: Go, and these dinars are yours too. Then he said: By Allah, Kifl will never again disobey his Lord. That very night he died, and in the morning it was found written on his door: 'Indeed, Allah has forgiven Kifl.'" This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "And she certainly desired him, and he desired her" [Surah Yusuf: 24] , that (he) sat with that woman the way a husband sits with his wife, and he was called out to from the unseen: O son of Ya'qub, will you commit fornication and then become like a bird whose feathers have been plucked out, which wants to fly but has no feathers?! 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 Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was admonishing his Companions when three people passed by. One of them came and sat down with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the second went a little distance away and sat down, and the third kept going on his way. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As for the one who came and sat with us, he repented and Allah accepted his repentance. As for the one who went a little distance away and sat down, he felt shy, so Allah too was shy of him. And as for the one who kept going on his way, he showed himself independent, so Allah too became independent of him." 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 al-Aswad bin Sari' (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin captive was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: I repent to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, and I do not repent to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has recognised the right as belonging to its rightful owner." 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 Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a young man from among the sons of the Muhajirun came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), pray for forgiveness for me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was occupied with something. He repeated his request three times, and when he saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was not seeking forgiveness for him, the young man said three times before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): 'Allahumma-ghfir li, Allahumma-ghfir li, Allahumma-ghfir li, fa inna rasulaka lam yastaghfir li' (O Allah, forgive me; O Allah, forgive me; O Allah, forgive me, for Your Messenger has not sought forgiveness for me). When the young man left, Jibril (peace be upon him) came down to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), why did you not seek forgiveness for this young man? Allah has already forgiven him. So go after him until you inform him that Allah has forgiven him, and tell him to seek forgiveness for you. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went quickly after him until he caught up with him, and when he reached him he said: "O young man, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has forgiven you, so now seek forgiveness for me." The young man said: 'Allahumma astaghfiruka li-rasulika, Allahumma inni astaghfiruka li-rasulika wa nabiyyika kama ghafarta li, innaka wasi'ul-maghfirah, wa anta arhamur-rahimin' (O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for Your Messenger; O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for Your Messenger and Your Prophet just as You have forgiven me; indeed You are vast in forgiveness, and You are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy).

A similar hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him). This hadith is gharib (unusual) in both its chain and its text. All of its narrators are trustworthy (thiqah) except Muhammad bin Abi Muslim, who is unknown (majhul). And Allah knows best.

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: "Your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, said: If My servants obeyed Me, I would give them rain by night, make the sun rise upon them by day, and not make them hear the sound of thunder."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Having a good opinion of Allah is part of the best of worship."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep renewing your faith." It was said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how should we renew our faith? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Say 'La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah)' abundantly." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
