Allah’s statement: Tell them about Abraham’s guests and when he asked how Allah gives life to the dead.
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "(The question that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) asked was not due to doubt. If he had doubted, then) we would have had more reason to doubt than Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he said: 'O my Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead.' (Allah Almighty) said: 'Do you not believe?' He replied: 'I do believe, but just to satisfy my heart' (which happens by seeing with the eyes). And may Allah have mercy on Lut (peace be upon him), he used to take refuge in a mighty support (i.e., Allah Almighty). And if I had remained in prison for as long as Yusuf (peace be upon him) did, I would have responded immediately to the one who called me (for freedom)."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“O sons of Isma’il! Shoot arrows, for your ancestor was an archer. And I am with this group (the sons of so-and-so).”Upon hearing this, the other group stopped shooting (ceased archery). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) asked:“Why are you not shooting?”They replied,“O Messenger of Allah! How can we compete when you have sided with them?”The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“Shoot, for I am with all of you.”

Allah’s statement: We gave David Solomon, an excellent servant.
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "My example and the example of people is like that of a person who kindled a fire, and now moths and animals began to fall into it." He also said that there were two women, each of whom had a boy. A wolf came and took away one of the children, so the companion said, 'The wolf has taken your child (this is my child).' The other said, '(No, rather) the wolf has taken your child.' Both came to Dawud (peace be upon him) for judgment, so he gave the child to the elder woman (because the child was in her possession and the other could not bring any witness). Then both went to Sulayman (peace be upon him) and explained to him, so he said, 'Bring me a knife. I will cut the child into two pieces and give each of you a part.' Upon hearing this, the younger woman said, 'May Allah have mercy on you, do not do so, for he is her (the elder woman's) child.' Then he gave the child to the younger woman. (He recognized that she was the real mother of the child and the other was lying.)
