Somebody said to Usama, “Will you go to so-and-so (i.e. ‘Uthman) and talk to him (i.e. advise him
regarding ruling the country)?” He said, “You see that I don’t talk to him. Really I talk to (advise) him
secretly without opening a gate (of affliction), for neither do I want to be the first to open it (i.e. re –
bellion), nor will I say to a man who is my ruler that he is the best of all the people after I have heard
something from Allah s Apostle .” They said, What have you heard him saying? He said, “I have heard
him saying, “A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in the (Hell) Fire, so that
his intestines will come out, and he will go around like a donkey goes around a millstone. The people
of (Hell) Fire will gather around him and say: O so-and-so! What is wrong with you? Didn’t you use
to order us to do good deeds and forbid us to do bad deeds? He will reply: Yes, I used to order you to
do good deeds, but I did not do them myself, and I used to forbid you to do bad deeds, yet I used to do
them myself.”

The Prophet said “There is a tree in Paradise (which is so big and huge that) a rider could travel in
its shade for a hundred years. And if you wish, you can recite:–‘In shade long extended..’ (56. 30)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The first batch (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like the
full moon, and the batch next to them will be (glittering) like the most brilliant star in the sky. Their
hearts will be as if the heart of a single man, for they will have neither enmity nor jealousy amongst
themselves; everyone will have two wives from the houris, (who will be so beautiful, pure and trans –
parent that) the marrow of the bones of their legs will be seen through the bones and the flesh.”

The Prophet said, “The people of Paradise will look at the dwellers of the lofty mansions (i.e. a su –
perior place in Paradise) in the same way as one looks at a brilliant star far away in the East or in the
West on the horizon; all that is because of their superiority over one another (in rewards).” On that
the people said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Are these lofty mansions for the prophets which nobody else can
reach? The Prophet replied,” No! “By Allah in whose Hands my life is, these are for the men who be –
lieved in Allah and also believed in the Apostles.”
