Volume 6, Book 60, Number 299:
Narrated Abdullah:
When there was revealed: ‘It is those who believe and confuse not their beliefs with wrong.’ (6.82)
It was very hard for the companions of Allah’s Apostle, so they said, “Which of us has not confused
his belief with wrong?” Allah’s Apostle said, “The Verse does not mean this. Don’t you hear Luqman’s
statement to his son: ‘Verily! Joining others in worship, with Allah is a great wrong indeed.’ (31.13)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 284:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
I or somebody, asked Allah’s Apostle “Which is the biggest sin in the Sight of Allah?” He said, “That
you set up a rival (in worship) to Allah though He Alone created you.” I asked, “What is next?” He
said, “Then, that you kill your son, being afraid that he may share your meals with you.” I asked,
“What is next?” He said, “That you commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor.”
Then the following Verse was revealed to confirm the statement of Allah’s Apostle:
“Those who invoke not with Allah, any other god, nor kill life as Allah has forbidden except for
just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse.” (25.68)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 300:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
One day while Allah’s Apostle was sitting with the people, a man came to him walking and said,
“O Allah’s Apostle. What is Belief?” The Prophet said, “Belief is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His
Books, His Apostles, and the meeting with Him, and to believe in the Resurrection.” The man asked,
“O Allah’s Apostle What is Islam?” The Prophet replied, “Islam is to worship Allah and not worship
anything besides Him, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay the (compulsory) charity i.e. Zakat and to fast
the month of Ramadan.” The man again asked, “O Allah’s Apostle What is Ihsan (i.e. perfection or Be –
nevolence)?” The Prophet said, “Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you do not achieve
this state of devotion, then (take it for granted that) Allah sees you.” The man further asked, “O Allah’s
Apostle When will the Hour be established?”
The Prophet replied, “The one who is asked about it does not know more than the questioner does,
but I will describe to you its portents. When the lady slave gives birth to her mistress, that will be of

its portents; when the bare-footed naked people become the chiefs of the people, that will be of its
portents. The Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. Verily, the knowledge of
the Hour is with Allah (alone). He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs.”
(31.34) Then the man left. The Prophet said, “Call him back to me.” They went to call him back but
could not see him. The Prophet said, “That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 285:
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Abi Bazza:
That he asked Said bin Jubair, “Is there any repentance of the one who has murdered a believer in –
tentionally?” Then I recited to him:–
“Nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden except for a just cause.” Said said, “I recited this very
Verse before Ibn ‘Abbas as you have recited it before me. Ibn ‘Abbas said, ‘This Verse was revealed in
Mecca and it has been abrogated by a Verse in Surat-An-Nisa which was later revealed in Medina.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 286:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
The people of Kufa differed as regards the killing of a believer so I entered upon Ibn ‘Abbas (and
asked him) about that. Ibn ‘Abbas said, “The Verse (in Surat-An-Nisa’, 4:93) was the last thing re –
vealed in this respect and nothing cancelled its validity.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 287:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
Volume 6 – 1054 / 1700
SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
I asked Ibn ‘Abbas about Allah’s saying:–
‘.. this reward is Hell Fire.’ (4.93) He said, “No repentance is accepted from him (i.e. the murderer
of a believer).” I asked him regarding the saying of Allah:
‘Those who invoke not with Allah any other god.’ …(25.68)
He said, “This Verse was revealed concerning the pagans of the pre-lslamic period.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 288:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
Ibn Abza said to me, “Ask Ibn ‘Abbas regarding the Statement of Allah:
‘And whoever murders a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell.’ (4.69)
And also His Statement: ‘…nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause …..except
those who repent, believe, and do good deeds.’ ” (25.68-70) So I asked Ibn ‘Abbas and he said, “When
this (25.68-69) was revealed, the people of Mecca said, “We have invoked other gods with Allah, and
we have murdered such lives which Allah has made sacred, and we have committed illegal sexual
intercourse. So Allah revealed:
‘Except those who repent, believe, and do good deeds and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’
(25.70)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 289:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
Abdur-Rahman bin Abza ordered me to ask Ibn ‘Abbas regarding the two Verses (the first of
which was ):
“And whosoever murders a believer intentionally.” (4.93) So I asked him, and he said, “Nothing has
abrogated this Verse.” About (the other Verse): ‘And those who invoke not with Allah any other god.’
he said, “It was revealed concerning the pagans,’
