It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah; he said: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) in the Hatim (the Hijr of the Ka'bah), and he said: "Weep, and if weeping does not come to you, then make yourselves weep. If you knew the reality, one of you would pray until his back broke, and weep until his voice gave out." The chain of 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 Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: "If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much; food and drink would not be pleasing to you, you would not sleep on beds, you would keep away from women, and you would go out to the hills and open plains, where you would cry out imploringly and weep. And I wish that Allah Almighty had created me a tree that is cut down." This chain is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they 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 knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh little. Hypocrisy will appear, trustworthiness will be taken away, mercy will be seized, the trustworthy will be accused and the treacherous will be deemed trustworthy. I see al-shuruf al-jun among you." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: O Messenger of Allah, what are al-shuruf al-jun? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Trials that will overspread like portions of a dark night." 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 Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him); he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I see what you do not see and I hear what you do not hear. The heaven groans (under its weight) and it has the right to groan; there is not a space in it the size of four fingers except that an angel has placed his forehead there in prostration before Allah. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much, you would not take pleasure with women on beds, and you would go out to the hills and open plains, crying out imploringly before Allah." (Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) "By Allah, I wish that I were a tree that is cut down." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her); she said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) making this supplication: 'Allahumma hasibni hisaban yasira' (O Allah, take an easy reckoning from me). I said: O Messenger of Allah, what is meant by an easy reckoning? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That his record is looked at and he is pardoned. Indeed, whoever is cross-examined (scrutinised) in the reckoning on that day is ruined. And whatever hardship befalls the believer, Allah Almighty expiates his sins in return for it, even the thorn that pricks him." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording. And its supporting report (shahid) from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) is (as follows):

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her); she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me while I had raised my hands and was making this supplication: 'Allahumma hasibni hisaban yasira' (O Allah, take an easy reckoning from me). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what that (easy) reckoning is?" I said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has mentioned in His Book: "He will be judged with an easy account" [Surah al-Inshiqaq: 8] . He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Aishah, indeed whoever is (formally) called to account (on that day) is doomed; this (easy reckoning) is merely the presentation of deeds before Allah Almighty."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the lightest punishment among the people of Hell will be for a man who will be made to wear two shoes of fire, from the heat of which his brain will be boiling on the Day of Resurrection." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. And it has supporting reports from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir and Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with them) from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with different wordings. As for the hadith of Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him):

It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him); he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The lightest punishment among the people of Hell will be for the one who will be made to wear two shoes and two straps of fire; from their heat his brain will boil as a cooking pot boils. And he will think that no one in Hell is receiving a more severe punishment than he, whereas he will be receiving the lightest punishment."

It is narrated from al-A'mash; he said: I heard Khaythamah also mentioning this same hadith from Sayyiduna al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him). 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 al-Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was delivering a sermon and saying: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "On the Day of Resurrection, the lightest punishment among the people of Hell will be for a man on the soles of whose feet an ember will be placed, from the heat of which his brain will be boiling." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it!
