Volume 6, Book 60, Number 339:
Narrated Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
I asked ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘As to inform me of the worst thing the pagans had done to Al –
lah’s Apostle. He said: “While Allah’s Apostle was praying in the courtyard of the ka’ba, ‘Uqba bin Abi
Mu’ait came and seized Allah’s Apostle by the shoulder and twisted his garment round his neck and
throttled him severely. Abu Bakr came and seized ‘Uqba’s shoulder and threw him away from Allah’s
Apostle and said, “Would you kill a man because he says: ‘My Lord is Allah,’ and has come to you
with clear Signs from your Lord?” (40.28)

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 324:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Prophet said, “When Allah decrees some order in the heaven, the angels flutter their wings
indicating complete surrender to His saying which sounds like chains being dragged on rock. And
when the state of fear disappears, they ask each other, “What has your Lord ordered? They say that
He has said that which is true and just, and He is the Most High, the Most Great.” (34.23). Then the

stealthy listeners (devils) hear this order, and these stealthy listeners are like this, one over the other.”
(Sufyan, a sub-narrator demonstrated that by holding his hand upright and separating the fingers.)
A stealthy listener hears a word which he will convey to that which is below him and the second will
convey it to that which is below him till the last of them will convey it to the wizard or foreteller.
Sometimes a flame (fire) may strike the devil before he can convey it, and sometimes he may convey
it before the flame (fire) strikes him, whereupon the wizard adds to that word a hundred lies. The
people will then say, ‘Didn’t he (i.e. magician) tell such-and-such a thing on such-and-such date?’
So that magician is said to have told the truth because of the Statement which has been heard from
the heavens.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 340:
Narrated Ibn Mas’ud:
(regarding) the Verse: ‘And you have not been screening against yourself lest your ears, and your
eyes and your skins should testify against you..’ (41.22) While two persons from Quraish and their
brother-in-law from Thaqif (or two persons from Thaqif and their brother-in-law from Quraish)
were in a house, they said to each other, “Do you think that Allah hears our talks?” Some said, “He
hears a portion thereof” Others said, “If He can hear a portion of it, He can hear all of it.” Then the
following Verse was revealed:
‘And you have not been screening against yourself lest your ears, and your eyes and your skins
should testify against you…’ (41.22)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 325:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
One day the Prophet ascended Safa mountain and said, “Oh Sabah! ” All the Quraish gathered
round him and said, “What is the matter?” He said, Look, if I told you that an enemy is going to attack
you in the morning or in the evening, would you not believe me?” They said, “Yes, we will believe
you.” He said, “I am a warner to you in face of a terrible punishment.” On that Abu Lahab said, “May
you perish ! Is it for this thing that you have gathered us?” So Allah revealed:
‘Perish the hands of Abu Lahab!…’ (111.1)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 326:
Narrated Abu Dharr:
Once I was with the Prophet in the mosque at the time of sunset. The Prophet said, “O Abu Dharr!
Do you know where the sun sets?” I replied, “Allah and His Apostle know best.” He said, “It goes and
prostrates underneath (Allah’s) Throne; and that is Allah’s Statement:–
‘And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (decreed). And that is the decree of All-Mighty, the
All-Knowing….’ (36.38)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 327:
Narrated Abu Dharr:
I asked the Prophet about the Statement of Allah:–
‘And the sun runs on fixed course for a term (decreed), ‘ (36.38) He said, “Its course is underneath
“Allah’s Throne.” (Prostration of Sun trees, stars. mentioned in Qur’an and Hadith does not mean like
our prostration but it means that these objects are obedient to their Creator (Allah) and they obey for
what they have been created for).
