Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: We were with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . He said when we arrived at a halting place: You are not a hundred thousandth part of those who will come down to me at the pond. I (the narrator Abu Hamzah) asked: What was your number that day? He replied: Seven or eight hundred.

Anas bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم dozed for a short while and raised his smiling. He either said to them (people) or they said to him: Messenger of Allah! Why did you laugh? He said: A surah has been revealed to me just now, and then he recited:“In the name of Allah, Most Gracious. Most Merciful. To thee We have granted the fount (of abundance)”up to the end. When he recited, he asked: Do you know what al-kauthar is? They replied: Allah and his Messenger know best. He said: It is a river which my Lord, the Exalted, has promised me (to grant) in Paradise: there is abundance of good and upon it there is a pond which my people will approach on the Day of Resurrection. There are vessels as numerous as stars (in the sky).

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: When the Prophet of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was lifted to the heavens (for travelling) in Paradise, or as he said, a river whose banks were of transparent or hollowed pearls was presented to him. The angel who was with him struck it with his hand and took out musk. Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم then asked the angel who was with him: What is this? He replied: It is al-Kawthar which Allah has given you.

Abdus Salam ibn Abu Hazim Abu Talut said: I saw Abu Barzah who came to visit Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad. Then a man named Muslim who was there in the company mentioned it to me. When Ubaydullah saw him, he said: This Muhammad of yours is a dwarf and fat. The old man (i. e. Abu Barzah) understood it. So he said: I did not think that I should remain among people who would make me feel ashamed of the company of Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Thereupon Ubaydullah said: The company of Muhammad صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم is a honour for you, not a disgrace. He added: I called for you to ask about the reservoir. Did you hear the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم mentioning anything about it? Abu Barzah said: Yes, not once, twice, thrice, four times or five times. If anyone believes it, may Allah not supply him with water from it. He then went away angrily.

Al-Bara bin Azib reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: When a Muslim is questioned in the grave he testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger. That is verified by Allah’s words:“Allah establishes those who believe with the word that stands firm. ”

Anas bin Malik said: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم entered the garden of the palm trees of Banu al-Najjar. He heard a voice and was terrified. He asked: Who are the people buried in these graves? The people replied: Messenger of Allah! These are some people who died in the pre-Islamic times. He said: Seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the fire, and the trail of Antichrist. They asked: Why is it that, Messenger of Allah? He said: When a man is placed in his grave, an angel comes to him and says to him: Whom did you worship? Allah then guides him and he says: I worshiped Allah. He is then asked: What was your opinion of this man? He replies: He is Allah’s servant and His Messenger. He will not then be asked about anything else. He will then be taken to his abode in Hell and will be told: This was your abode in Hell, but Allah protected you and had mercy on you substituted for you an abode in Paradise for it. He will say: Leave me so that I may go and give glad tidings to my family. He will be told: Dwell. When an infidel is placed in his grave, an angel comes to him, reprimands him and asks him: Whom did you worship? He replies: I do not know. He will be told: You neither knew nor did you follow (the believers). He is then asked: What was your opinion on this man? He replies: I held the opinion that the other people held. He will then give him a blow between his ears with an iron hammer and will utter a shout which will be heard by all the creatures (near him) with the exception of men and jinn.

The tradition mentioned above has also transmitted by Abd al-Wahhab through a different chain of narrators in a similar manner. This version has: When a man is placed in his grave and his friends leaves him, he hears the beat of his sandals. Then two angles come and speak to him. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition nearly similar to the previous one. It goes: As for the infidel and hypocrite they say to them. This version adds the word“hypocrite”. And he said: those who are near him will hear (his shout) with the exception of men and jinn.

Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: We went out with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم accompanying the bier of a man of the Ansar. When we reached his grave, it was not yet dug. So the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم sat down and we also sat down around him as if birds were over our heads. He had in his hand a stick with which he was scratching the ground. He then raised his head and said: Seek refuge with Allah from the punishment in the grave. He said it twice or thrice. The version of Jabir adds here: He hears the beat of their sandals when they go back, and at that moment he is asked: O so and so! Who is your Lord, what is your religion, and who is your Prophet? Hannad's version says: Two angels will come to him, make him sit up and ask him: Who is your Lord? He will reply: My Lord is Allah. They will ask him: What is your religion? He will reply: My religion is Islam. They will ask him: What is your opinion about the man who was sent on a mission among you? He will reply: He is the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . They will ask: Who made you aware of this? He will reply: I read Allah's Book, believed in it, and considered it true; which is verified by Allah's words: "Allah's Book, believed in it, and considered it true, which is verified by Allah's words: "Allah establishes those who believe with the word that stands firm in this world and the next. " The agreed version reads: Then a crier will call from Heaven: My servant has spoken the truth, so spread a bed for him from Paradise, clothe him from Paradise, and open a door for him into Paradise. So some of its air and perfume will come to him, and a space will be made for him as far as the eye can see. He also mentioned the death of the infidel, saying: His spirit will be restored to his body, two angels will come to him, make him sit up and ask him: Who is your Lord? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask him: What is your religion? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask: Who was the man who was sent on a mission among you? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. Then a crier will call from Heaven: He has lied, so spread a bed for him from Hell, clothe him from Hell, and open for him a door into Hell. Then some of its heat and pestilential wind will come to him, and his grave will be compressed, so that his ribs will be crushed together. Jabir's version adds: One who is blind and dumb will then be placed in charge of him, having a sledge-hammer such that if a mountain were struck with it, it would become dust. He will give him a blow with it which will be heard by everything between the east and the west except by men and jinn, and he will become dust. Then his spirit will be restored to him.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Al-Bara (b. Azib) from the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم through a different chain of narrators is a similar way.

Aishah said that she thought of Hell and wept. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم asked her: What makes you weep ? She replied: I thought of Hell and wept. Will you remember your family on the 4th Day of resurrection ? the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There are three places where no one will remember anyone: at the scale until one knows whether his weight is light or heavy; at (the examination of) the book when one is commanded: Take and read Allah’s record, until he knows whether his book will be put into his right hand, or into his left hand, or behind his back ; and the path when it is placed across JAHANNAM.
