It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said to Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him): Do you not seek for your guests the comforts that other men seek for their guests? He replied: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Ahead of you is a very hard and difficult mountain pass, which those weighed down by burdens will not be able to cross." So I love to keep my burden light for crossing that pass. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from six or seven Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), including Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi, Sayyiduna Sa'd and Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection a man's record of deeds will be presented, until he thinks that he has been saved. But then the rights of people and the wrongs done to them will pursue him until not a single good deed of his remains, and their sins will be added to his account." 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 Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he learned of a hadith about retribution (qisas) from one of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which he himself had not heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So he bought a camel, fastened his saddle on it, travelled a month's journey and reached Egypt (or Syria), and met Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Unays (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I have learned of a hadith from you which you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but I did not hear it concerning retribution. I feared that death might come to me before I heard it. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Unays (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "On the Day when the servants - or he said: the people - will be gathered naked, uncircumcised and buhman (empty-handed), having nothing with them, then Allah Almighty will call out to them in a voice that the one far away will hear just as the one near hears: I am the King, I am the Judge who recompenses. It is not fitting for any of the people of Paradise to enter Paradise while any of the people of Hell has a claim (of wrong) against him, until I make him give retribution for it; and it is not fitting for any of the people of Hell to enter Hell while any of the people of Paradise has a claim against him, until I make him give retribution for it, even for a slap." We said: How can that be, when we will come before Allah naked and empty-handed? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(This retribution) will be through good deeds and bad deeds." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Day of Resurrection comes, the earth will be stretched out like leather, and Allah Almighty will gather all creatures, that is, humans, jinn, beasts and wild animals. On that day Allah Almighty will establish retribution even among the animals, until the hornless sheep is given retribution from the horned one for its butting. Then when Allah Almighty has finished judging retribution among the animals, He will say to them: Become dust, and they will all become dust. At that time the disbeliever (seeing this scene) will say: "Oh, I wish that I were dust!" [Surah al-Naba': 40] All its narrators are trustworthy (thiqah) except Abu al-Mughirah, who is unknown (majhul), and the Companion's interpretation (of the Qur'an) has the ruling of a musnad (Prophetic) report.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The registers of deeds are of three kinds: a register which Allah will never forgive, a register about which Allah will not be concerned at all, and a register from which Allah will leave nothing. As for the register which Allah will never forgive, it is associating partners with Allah. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, Allah does not forgive that partners be associated with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills' [Surah al-Nisa': 48] . As for the register about which Allah will not be concerned at all, it is the wrong a servant does to himself, in the form of sins, in what is between him and his Lord. And as for the register from which Allah will leave nothing, it is the wrongs of the servants among themselves, for which retribution (qisas) will be taken without fail." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, 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); he said: Once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting when we saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) smile so that his front teeth became visible. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, what made you laugh? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two men of my Ummah were on their knees before the Lord of Might. One of them said: O my Lord, take my right (for the wrong done to me) from this brother of mine. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said to the claimant: What will you do with your brother when nothing remains of his good deeds? He said: O my Lord, then let him carry the burden of my sins." (While relating this) the eyes of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) flowed with tears. Then he said: "Indeed, that will be a tremendous day; people will be in need of having the burden of their sins shared. Then Allah said to the claimant: Raise your gaze and look at these gardens. He raised his head and said: O my Lord, I see cities of gold and palaces of gold studded with pearls. For which prophet, which truthful one (siddiq) or which martyr are these? Allah said: This is for whoever pays its price. He said: O my Lord, and who can possess its price? Allah said: You can possess it. He asked: How? He said: By forgiving your brother. He said: O my Lord, I have forgiven him. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said: Take your brother by the hand and bring him into Paradise." At that point the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fear Allah and set right your mutual affairs, for Allah Almighty makes reconciliation between the Muslims." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever would like to see the Day of Resurrection as if it were before his eyes, let him recite 'When the sun is wrapped up' [Surah al-Takwir: 1] , 'When the heaven breaks apart' [Surah al-Infitar: 1] and 'When the heaven is split open' [Surah al-Inshiqaq: 1] ." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, on the Day of Resurrection shame and disgrace will cling to a person to such an extent that he will cry out: O my Lord, my being sent to Hell would be easier for me than this (humiliation) I am facing, even though he will know well how severe the punishment in that Fire is." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: One night we sat conversing with the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and we prolonged our conversation. Then we returned to our homes. When morning came, we went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Last night the prophets were presented to me with the followers from their nations. A prophet would pass by with three men of his people with him, a prophet would pass by with a group with him, a prophet would pass by with a few people with him, and a prophet would pass by with not a single one of his people with him. Until Musa bin Imran (peace be upon him) passed before me with a great multitude of the Children of Israel. When I saw them, they impressed me greatly, and I said: O my Lord, who are these? Allah Almighty said: This is your brother Musa bin Imran, and these are his followers from the Children of Israel. I said: O my Lord, then where is my Ummah? It was said to me: Look to your right. And behold, the hills of Makkah were filled with the faces of people. I said: O my Lord, who are these? Allah Almighty said: This is your Ummah. Then I was asked: Are you pleased? I said: O my Lord, I am pleased." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then it was said to me: Along with these are seventy thousand who will enter Paradise without reckoning." The narrator said: (Hearing this) Ukkashah bin Mihsan (may Allah be pleased with him), the brother of Banu Asad bin Khuzaymah, stood up and said: O Prophet of Allah, supplicate to your Lord to make me one of them (the seventy thousand). He (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: "O Allah, make him one of them." Then another man stood up and said: O Prophet of Allah, supplicate to your Lord to make me one of them too. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ukkashah has beaten you to it." The narrator said: Then the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May my father and mother be your ransom! If you can be among these seventy thousand, then be among them; and if you are unable and fall short, then be among the people of the hills; and if you are unable even for that and fall short, then be among the people of the horizon (that is, the general throng), for I saw a great crowd of people there." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I hope that the followers of my Ummah will be a quarter of the people of Paradise." The narrator said: So we said the takbir (Allahu Akbar). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I hope that you will be a third." So we said the takbir. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I hope that you will be half." So we said the takbir. Then the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "A large company from the earlier peoples, and a large company from the later peoples" [Surah al-Waqi'ah: 39 - 40] . The narrator said: Then the Muslims discussed among themselves about these seventy thousand and said: Do you think they are people who were born in Islam and then continued to act upon it until they died?! This talk of theirs reached the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not so; rather, they are those who do not seek ruqyah, do not get themselves cauterised, do not take bad omens, and (in all their affairs) rely only upon their Lord." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her); she said: I remembered the Fire and wept. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "O Aishah, what is the matter with you?" I said: I remembered the Fire and wept. Will you people remember your families on the Day of Resurrection? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three places where no one will remember anyone: [at the Scale] , until he knows whether his scale is light or heavy; and at the time the records are given, when it is said: 'Haa'umuqra'u kitabiyah' (Come, read my record), until he knows where his record will be placed, in his right hand, in his left hand, or behind his back; and at the Sirat, when it is placed over the back of Hell, on both its sides many hooks and thorns, by which Allah will hold back whomever He wills of His creation, (in these places no one will remember anyone) until he knows whether he will be saved or not." This hadith is sahih (authentic); its chain is on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), although there is irsal (a break in the chain) in it between al-Hasan and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her). However, it is authentically established by reports that al-Hasan used to visit the homes of Sayyidah Aishah and Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with them both) as a child.
