Volume 4, Book 56, Number 813:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet paid a visit to a sick bedouin. The Prophet when visiting a patient used to say, “No
harm will befall you! May Allah cure you! May Allah cure you!” So the Prophet said to the bedouin.
“No harm will befall you. May Allah cure you!” The bedouin said, “You say, may Allah cure me? No,
for it is a fever which boils in (the body of) an old man, and will lead him to the grave.” The Prophet
said, “Yes, then may it be as you say.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 814:
Narrated Anas:
There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used
to write (the revelations) for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to
say: “Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him.” Then Allah caused him to die, and
the people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They
said, “This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and
took his body out of it because he had run away from them.” They again dug the grave deeply for
him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, “This is an
act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and threw his body
outside it, for he had run away from them.” They dug the grave for him as deep as they could, but in
the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. So they believed that what had
befallen him was not done by human beings and had to leave him thrown (on the ground).

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When Khosrau perishes, there will be no (more) Khosrau after him, and
when Caesar perishes, there will be no more Caesar after him. By Him in Whose Hands
Muhammad’s life is, you will spend the treasures of both of them in Allah’s Cause.”

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 817:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Musailama-al-Kadhdhab (i.e. the liar) came in the life-time of Allah’s Apostle with many of his
people (to Medina) and said, “If Muhammad makes me his successor, I will follow him.” Allah’s
Apostle went up to him with Thabit bin Qais bin Shams; and Allah’s Apostle was carrying a piece of a
date-palm leaf in his hand. He stood before Musailama (and his companions) and said, “If you asked
me even this piece (of a leaf), I would not give it to you. You cannot avoid the fate you are destined
to, by Allah. If you reject Islam, Allah will destroy you. I think that you are most probably the same
person whom I have seen in the dream.” Abu Huraira told me that Allah’s Apostle; said, “While I was
sleeping, I saw (in a dream) two gold bracelets round my arm, and that worried me too much. Then I
was instructed divinely in my dream, to blow them off and so I blew them off, and they flew away. I
interpreted the two bracelets as symbols of two liars who would appear after me. And so one of them
was Al-Ansi and the other was Musailama Al-Kadhdhab from Al-Yamama.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 786:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Once ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab said, said, “Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah’s
Apostle regarding the afflictions?” Hudhaifa replied, “I remember what he said exactly.” ‘Umar said.
“Tell (us), you are really a daring man!” Hudhaifa said, “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘A man’s afflictions (i.e.
wrong deeds) concerning his relation to his family, his property and his neighbors are expiated by
his prayers, giving in charity and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil.’ ” ‘Umar said, “I
don’t mean these afflictions but the afflictions that will be heaving up and down like waves of the

sea.” Hudhaifa replied, “O chief of the believers! You need not fear those (afflictions) as there is a
closed door between you and them.” ‘Umar asked, “Will that door be opened or broken?” Hudhaifa
replied, “No, it will be broken.” ‘Umar said, “Then it is very likely that the door will not be closed
again.” Later on the people asked Hudhaifa, “Did ‘Umar know what that door meant?” He said. “Yes,
‘Umar knew it as everyone knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated
to ‘Umar an authentic narration, not lies.” We dared not ask Hudhaifa; therefore we requested Mas –
ruq who asked him, “What does the door stand for?” He said, “Umar.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 802:
Narrated Said Al-Umawi:
I was with Marwan and Abu Huraira and heard Abu Huraira saying, “I heard the trustworthy,
truly inspired one (i.e. the Prophet ) saying, ‘The destruction of my followers will be brought about by
the hands of some youngsters from Quraish.” Marwan asked, “Youngsters?” Abu Huraira said, “If you
wish, I would name them: They are the children of so-and-so and the children of so-and-so.”
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 787:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The Hour will not be established till you fight a nation wearing hairy shoes, and
till you fight the Turks, who will have small eyes, red faces and flat noses; and their faces will be like
flat shields. And you will find that the best people are those who hate responsibility of ruling most of
all till they are chosen to be the rulers. And the people are of different natures: The best in the pre-
lslamic period are the best in Islam. A time will come when any of you will love to see me rather
than to have his family and property doubled.”
