Narrated Jundub:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Amongst the nations before you there was a man who got a wound, and
growing impatient (with its pain), he took a knife and cut his hand with it and the blood did not stop
till he died. Allah said, ‘My Slave hurried to bring death upon himself so I have forbidden him (to
enter) Paradise.’ “
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 659:
Narrated Rabi bin Hirash:
‘Uqba bin ‘Amr said to Hudhaifa, “Won’t you relate to us of what you have heard from Allah’s
Apostle ?” He said, “I heard him saying, “When Al-Dajjal appears, he will have fire and water along
with him. What the people will consider as cold water, will be fire that will burn (things). So, if any –
one of you comes across this, he should fall in the thing which will appear to him as fire, for in real –
ity, it will be fresh cold water.” Hudhaifa added, “I also heard him saying, ‘From among the people
preceding your generation, there was a man whom the angel of death visited to capture his soul. (So
his soul was captured) and he was asked if he had done any good deed.’ He replied, ‘I don’t remember
any good deed.’ He was asked to think it over. He said, ‘I do not remember, except that I used to trade
with the people in the world and I used to give a respite to the rich and forgive the poor (among my
debtors). So Allah made him enter Paradise.” Hudhaifa further said, “I also heard him saying, ‘Once
there was a man on his death-bed, who, losing every hope of surviving said to his family: When I
die, gather for me a large heap of wood and make a fire (to burn me). When the fire eats my meat
and reaches my bones, and when the bones burn, take and crush them into powder and wait for a
windy day to throw it (i.e. the powder) over the sea. They did so, but Allah collected his particles and
asked him:
Why did you do so? He replied: For fear of You. So Allah forgave him.” ‘Uqba bin ‘Amr said, “I
heard him saying that the Israeli used to dig the grave of the dead (to steal their shrouds).”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 660:
Narrated ‘Aisha and Ibn ‘Abbas:
On his death-bed Allah’s Apostle put a sheet over his-face and when he felt hot, he would remove
it from his face. When in that state (of putting and removing the sheet) he said, “May Allah’s Curse be
on the Jews and the Christians for they build places of worship at the graves of their prophets.” (By
that) he intended to warn (the Muslim) from what they (i.e. Jews and Christians) had done.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 56: VIRTUES AND MERITS OF THE PROPHET (PBUH) AND HIS COMPANIONS
The Prophet said, “The Israelis used to be ruled and guided by prophets: Whenever a prophet died,
another would take over his place. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who
will increase in number.” The people asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What do you order us (to do)?” He
said, “Obey the one who will be given the pledge of allegiance first. Fulfil their (i.e. the Caliphs)
rights, for Allah will ask them about (any shortcoming) in ruling those Allah has put under their
guardianship.”

the Jews and the Christians.)
