(pbuh) and his Companions
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.
Volume 4, Book 55, Number 645:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “None spoke in cradle but three: (The first was) Jesus, (the second was), there a
man from Bani Israel called Juraij. While he was offering his prayers, his mother came and called
him. He said (to himself), ‘Shall I answer her or keep on praying?” (He went on praying) and did not
answer her, his mother said, “O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes.” So while
he was in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a
shepherd and presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her and then later
she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him
and dismantled his hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablu –
tion and offered prayer, and then came to the child and said, ‘O child! Who is your father?’ The child
replied, ‘The shepherd.’ (After hearing this) the people said, ‘We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,’
but he said, ‘No, of nothing but mud.'(The third was the hero of the following story) A lady from Bani
Israel was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, ‘O Allah !
Make my child like him.’ On that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, ‘O Allah! Do not
make me like him.’ The child then started to suck her breast again. (Abu Huraira further said, “As if I
were now looking at the Prophet sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.”) After a while the
people passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child’s mother) said, ‘O Allah! Do not make my
child like this (slave girl)!, On that the child left her breast and said, ‘O Allah! Make me like her.’
When she asked why, the child replied, ‘The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely
accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse.”

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 Prophet said, “You will follow the wrong ways, of your predecessors so completely and liter –

Apostle! Do you mean the Jews and the Christians?” He replied, “Whom else?” (Meaning, of course,
the Jews and the Christians.)

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 55: PROPHETS
The Prophet said, “I met Moses on the night of my Ascension to heaven.” The Prophet then de –
scribed him saying, as I think, “He was a tall person with lank hair as if he belonged to the people of
the tribe of Shanu’s.’ The Prophet further said, “I met Jesus.” The Prophet described him saying, “He
was one of moderate height and was red-faced as if he had just come out of a bathroom. I saw Abra –
ham whom I resembled more than any of his children did.” The Prophet further said, “(That night) I
was given two cups; one full of milk and the other full of wine. I was asked to take either of them
which I liked, and I took the milk and drank it. On that it was said to me, ‘You have taken the right
path (religion). If you had taken the wine, your (Muslim) nation would have gone astray.”
