Volume 6, Book 60, Number 105:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
During the lifetime of the Prophet some people said, : O Allah’s Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on
the Day of Resurrection?” The Prophet said, “Yes; do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at mid –
day when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?” They replied, “No.” He said, “Do you have any
difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?”
They replied, “No.” The Prophet said, “(Similarly) you will have no difficulty in seeing Allah on the
Day of Resurrection as you have no difficulty in seeing either of them. On the Day of Resurrection, a
call-maker will announce, “Let every nation follow that which they used to worship.” Then none of
those who used to worship anything other than Allah like idols and other deities but will fall in Hell
(Fire), till there will remain none but those who used to worship Allah, both those who were obedient
(i.e. good) and those who were disobedient (i.e. bad) and the remaining party of the people of the
Scripture. Then the Jews will be called upon and it will be said to them, ‘Who do you use to worship?’
They will say, ‘We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.’ It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for
Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son. What do you want now?’ They will say, ‘O our Lord!
We are thirsty, so give us something to drink.’ They will be directed and addressed thus, ‘Will you
drink,’ whereupon they will be gathered unto Hell (Fire) which will look like a mirage whose differ –
ent sides will be destroying each other. Then they will fall into the Fire. Afterwards the Christians
will be called upon and it will be said to them, ‘Who do you use to worship?’ They will say, ‘We used
to worship Jesus, the son of Allah.’ It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for Allah has never taken
anyone as a wife or a son,’ Then it will be said to them, ‘What do you want?’ They will say what the
former people have said. Then, when there remain (in the gathering) none but those who used to

worship Allah (Alone, the real Lord of the Worlds) whether they were obedient or disobedient. Then
(Allah) the Lord of the worlds will come to them in a shape nearest to the picture they had in their
minds about Him. It will be said, ‘What are you waiting for?’ Every nation have followed what they
used to worship.’ They will reply, ‘We left the people in the world when we were in great need of
them and we did not take them as friends. Now we are waiting for our Lord Whom we used to wor –
ship.’ Allah will say, ‘I am your Lord.’ They will say twice or thrice, ‘We do not worship any besides
Allah.’ “

During the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle, some men among the hypocrites used to remain behind him
(i.e. did not accompany him) when he went out for a Ghazwa and they would be pleased to stay at
home behind Allah’s Apostle When Allah’s Apostle returned (from the battle) they would put forward
(false) excuses and take oaths, wishing to be praised for what they had not done. So there was re –
vealed:–
“Think not that those who rejoice in what they have done, and love to be praised for what they
have not done..” (3.188)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 91:
Narrated Alqama bin Waqqas:
Marwan said to his gatekeeper, “Go to Ibn ‘Abbas, O Rafi, and say, ‘If everybody who rejoices in
what he has done, and likes to be praised for what he has not done, will be punished, then all of us
will be punished.” Ibn Abbas said, “What connection have you with this case? It was only that the
Prophet called the Jews and asked them about something, and they hid the truth and told him some –
thing else, and showed him that they deserved praise for the favor of telling him the answer to his
question, and they became happy with what they had concealed.
Then Ibn Abbas recited:–
“(And remember) when Allah took a Covenant from those who were given the Scripture..and those
who rejoice in what they have done and love to be praised for what they have not done.’ ” (3.187-
188)

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimuna. Allah’s Apostle talked with his wife for a
while and then went to bed. When it was the last third of the night, he got up and looked towards
the sky and said:
“Verily! In the creation of the Heavens and the Earth and in the alteration of night and day, there
are indeed signs for men of understanding.” (3.190)
Then he stood up, performed ablution, brushed his teeth with a Siwak, and then prayed eleven
Rakat. Then Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e. call for the Fajr prayer). The Prophet then offered two

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 94:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
(One night) I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimuna, and said to myself, “I will watch
the prayer of Allah’s Apostle ” My aunt placed a cushion for Allah’s Apostle and he slept on it in its
length-wise direction and (woke-up) rubbing the traces of sleep off his face and then he recited the
last ten Verses of Surat-al-Imran till he finished it. Then he went to a hanging water skin and took it,
performed the ablution and then stood up to offer the prayer. I got up and did the same as he had
done, and stood beside him. He put his hand on my head and held me by the ear and twisted it. He
offered two Rakat, then two Rakat, then two Rakat, then two Rakat, then two Rakat, then two Rakat,
and finally the Witr (i.e. one Rak’a) prayer.

after it, and then woke up rubbing the traces of sleep off his face with his hands and then he recited
the last ten Verses of Surat-al-Imran, got up and went to a hanging water skin. He then performed
the ablution from it, and it was perfect ablution, and then stood up to offer the prayer. I too did the

head and held and twisted my right ear. He then offered two Rakat, then two Rakat, then two Rakat,
