Narrated Anas:
The Prophet delivered a sermon the like of which I had never heard before. He said, “If you but
knew what I know then you would have laughed little and wept much.” On hearing that, the com –
panions of the Prophet covered their faces and the sound of their weeping was heard. A man said,
“Who is my father?” The Prophet said, “So-and-so.” So this Verse was revealed: “Ask not about things
which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble.” (5.101)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 146:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Some people were asking Allah’s Apostle questions mockingly. A man would say, “Who is my fath –
er?” Another man whose she-camel had gone astray would say, “Where is my she-camel? “So Allah
revealed this Verse in this connection: “O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain
to you, may cause you trouble.” (5.101)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 147:
Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:
Bahira is a she-camel whose milk is kept for the idols and nobody is allowed to milk it; Sa’iba was
the she-camel which they used to set free for their gods and nothing was allowed to be carried on it.
Abu Huraira said: Allah’s Apostle said, “I saw ‘Amr bin ‘Amir Al-Khuzai (in a dream) dragging his in –
testines in the Fire, and he was the first person to establish the tradition of setting free the animals
(for the sake of their deities),” Wasila is the she-camel which gives birth to a she-camel as its first
delivery, and then gives birth to another she-camel as its second delivery. People (in the Pre-lslamic
periods of ignorance) used to let that she camel loose for their idols if it gave birth to two she-camels
successively without giving birth to a male camel in between. ‘Ham’ was the male camel which was
used for copulation. When it had finished the number of copulations assigned for it, they would let it
loose for their idols and excuse it from burdens so that nothing would be carried on it, and they
called it the ‘Hami.’ Abu Huraira said, “I heard the Prophet saying so.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 149:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Allah’s Apostle delivered a sermon and said, “O people! You will be gathered before Allah bare-
footed, naked and not circumcised.” Then (quoting Quran) he said:–
“As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. A promise We have undertaken: Truly we shall
do it..” (21.104)
The Prophet then said, “The first of the human beings to be dressed on the Day of Resurrection,
will be Abraham. Lo! Some men from my followers will be brought and then (the angels) will drive
them to the left side (Hell-Fire). I will say. ‘O my Lord! (They are) my companions!’ Then a reply will
come (from Almighty), ‘You do not know what they did after you.’ I will say as the pious slave (the
Prophet Jesus) said: And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them. When You took me
up. You were the Watcher over them and You are a Witness to all things.’ (5.117) Then it will be
said, “These people have continued to be apostates since you left them.”

driven (by the angels) to the left side (and taken to Hell) whereupon I will say as the pious slave (Je –

Wise.” (5.117-118)

Allah’s Apostle said, “The key of the Unseen are five: Verily with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of
the Hour He sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. No soul knows what it will earn
tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.”

Narrated Jabir:
When this Verse was revealed: “Say: He has power to send torment on you from above.” (6.65) Al –
lah’s Apostle said, “O Allah! I seek refuge with Your Face (from this punishment).” And when the
verse: “or send torment from below your feet,” (was revealed), Allah’s Apostle said, “(O Allah!) I seek
refuge with Your Face (from this punishment).” (But when there was revealed): “Or confuse you in
party strife and make you to taste the violence of one another.” (6.65) Allah’s Apostle said, “This is
lighter (or, this is easier).”
