Narrated Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): When this verse was revealed, "Say: He is able to send punishment upon you from above you," the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! I seek refuge in Your Face." Then Allah said, "Or from beneath your feet." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah! I seek refuge in Your Face." Then Allah said, "Or to confuse you in sects and make you taste the violence of one another." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is lighter or easier than the previous punishments." (Surah Al-Ma'idah: 65)

Sayedna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked, "Is there a prostration (sajdah) in Surah 'Saad'?" He replied, "Yes," and then recited this verse: "And We gave him Isaac and Jacob..." (Al-An'am: 84) up to Allah Almighty's statement: "Those were the ones whom Allah guided, so follow their guidance." (Al-An'am: 90) Then he said: "So you (Muhammad, peace be upon him) are among those who have been commanded to follow the example of the Prophets."

`Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that No one is more possessive than Allah, that is why He has forbidden all indecent acts, both apparent and hidden. And nothing is more beloved to Allah than praise, that is why He Himself praised Himself (and taught us to do so).
