Volume 6, Book 60, Number 2:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When the Imam says: ‘Ghair-il-Maghdubi ‘Alaihim Walad-Dallin (i.e. not the
path of those who earn Your Anger, nor the path of those who went astray (1.7)), then you must say,
‘Ameen’, for if one’s utterance of ‘Ameen’ coincides with that of the angels, then his past sins will be
forgiven.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 18:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
While some people were offering Fajr prayer at Quba’ (mosque), some-one came to them and said,
“Tonight some Qur’anic Verses have been revealed to the Prophet and he has been ordered to face the
Ka’ba (at Mecca) (during prayers), so you too should turn your faces towards it.” At that time their
faces were towards Sham (Jerusalem) so they turned towards the Ka’ba (at Mecca).
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 3:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “On the Day of Resurrection the Believers will assemble and say, ‘Let us ask
somebody to intercede for us with our Lord.’ So they will go to Adam and say, ‘You are the father of
all the people, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate to
you, and taught you the names of all things; so please intercede for us with your Lord, so that He
may relieve us from this place of ours.’ Adam will say, ‘I am not fit for this (i.e. intercession for you).’
Then Adam will remember his sin and feel ashamed thereof. He will say, ‘Go to Noah, for he was the
first Apostle, Allah sent to the inhabitants of the earth.’ They will go to him and Noah will say,

‘I am not fit for this undertaking.’ He will remember his appeal to his Lord to do what he had no
knowledge of, then he will feel ashamed thereof and will say, ‘Go to the Khalil–r-Rahman (i.e. Abra –
ham).’ They will go to him and he will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking. Go to Moses, the slave to
whom Allah spoke (directly) and gave him the Torah .’ So they will go to him and he will say, ‘I am
not fit for this undertaking.’ and he will mention (his) killing a person who was not a killer, and so
he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord, and he will say, ‘Go to Jesus, Allah’s Slave, His Apostle
and Allah’s Word and a Spirit coming from Him. Jesus will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking, go
to Muhammad the Slave of Allah whose past and future sins were forgiven by Allah.’ So they will
come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my Lord’s Permission and I will be given permission.
When I see my Lord, I will fall down in Prostration and He will let me remain in that state as long as
He wishes and then I will be addressed.’ (Muhammad!) Raise your head. Ask, and your request will
be granted; say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will be accep –
ted.’ I will raise my head and praise Allah with a saying (i.e. invocation) He will teach me, and then I
will intercede. He will fix a limit for me (to intercede for) whom I will admit into Paradise. Then I
will come back again to Allah, and when I see my Lord, the same thing will happen to me. And then I
will intercede and Allah will fix a limit for me to intercede whom I will let into Paradise, then I will
come back for the third time; and then I will come back for the fourth time, and will say, ‘None re –
mains in Hell but those whom the Quran has imprisoned (in Hell) and who have been destined to an
eternal stay in Hell.’ ” (The compiler) Abu ‘Abdullah said: ‘But those whom the Qur’an has imprisoned
in Hell,’ refers to the Statement of Allah:
“They will dwell therein forever.” (16.29)

Narrated Al-Bara:
We prayed along with the Prophet facing Jerusalem for sixteen or seventeen months. Then Allah
ordered him to turn his face towards the Qibla (in Mecca):–
“And from whence-so-ever you start forth (for prayers) turn your face in the direction of (the Sac –
red Mosque of Mecca) Al-Masjid-ul Haram..” (2.149)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 4:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
I asked the Prophet, “What is the greatest sin in the Sight of Allah?” He said, “That you set up a rival
unto Allah though He Alone created you.” I said, “That is indeed a great sin.” Then asked, “What is
next?” He said, “To kill your son lest he should share your food with you.” I asked, “What is next?” He
said, “To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor.”

Mecca), so you too should face it.” So they, keeping their postures, turned towards the Ka’ba.
Formerly the people were facing Sham (Jerusalem) (Allah said):–
“And from whence-so-ever you start forth (for prayers), turn your face in the direction of the Sac –
red Mosque of Mecca (Al-Masjid-ul-Haram), and whence-so-ever you are, turn your face towards
it (when you pray)” (2.150)

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
The Prophet said, “It was said to the children of Israel, ‘Enter the gate (of the town), prostrate (in
humility) and say: Hittatun (i.e. repentance) i.e. O Allah!
Forgive our sins.’ But they entered by dragging themselves on their buttocks, so they did something
different (from what they had been ordered to do) and said, ‘Hittatun,’ but added, “A grain in a hair.”
