Muhammad.” I replied, “By Allah, I will never disbelieve Muhammad till Allah let you die and then
resurrect you.” He said, “Then wait till I die and come to life again, for then I will be given property
and offspring and will pay your right.” So, thus revelation came: “Have you seen him who disbelieved
in Our signs and yet says, ‘I will be given property and offspring?’ ” (19.77)

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ud:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever takes a false oath so as to take the property of a Muslim (illegally)
will meet Allah while He will be angry with him.” Al-Ash’ath said: By Allah, that saying concerned
me. I had common land with a Jew, and the Jew later on denied my ownership, so I took him to the
Prophet who asked me whether I had a proof of my ownership. When I replied in the negative, the
Prophet asked the Jew to take an oath. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! He will take an oath and deprive me
of my property.” So, Allah revealed the following verse: “Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at
the cost of Allah’s covenant and their oaths.” (3.77)

your debt to one half,” gesturing with his hand. Kab said, “I have done so, O Allah’s Apostle!” On that
the Prophet said to Ibn Abi Hadrad, “Get up and repay the debt, to him.”

I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to that of mine.
Allah’s Apostle had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was about to quarrel with him (during
the prayer) but I waited till he finished, then I tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it
and brought him to Allah’s Apostle and said, “I have heard him reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way
different to the way you taught it to me.” The Prophet ordered me to release him and asked Hisham
to recite it. When he recited it, Allah s Apostle said, “It was revealed in this way.” He then asked me to
recite it. When I recited it, he said, “It was revealed in this way. The Qur’an has been revealed in sev –
en different ways, so recite it in the way that is easier for you.”

are right.” Shu’ba, the sub-narrator said, “I think he said to them, “Don’t differ, for the nations before
you differed and perished (because of their differences). “

superiority over all the people! The Jew said, “By Him Who gave Moses superiority over all the
people!” At that the Muslim raised his hand and slapped the Jew on the face. The Jew went to the
Prophet and informed him of what had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet sent for
the Muslim and asked him about it. The Muslim informed him of the event. The Prophet said, “Do not
give me superiority over Moses, for on the Day of Resurrection all the people will fall unconscious
and I will be one of them, but I will. be the first to gain consciousness, and will see Moses standing

and holding the side of the Throne (of Allah). I will not know whether (Moses) has also fallen un –
conscious and got up before me, or Allah has exempted him from that stroke.”
