Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said to Ibn Saiyad, “I have kept for you a secret.” Ibn Saiyad said, “Ad-Dukh.” The
Prophet said, “Keep quiet, for you cannot go beyond your limits (or you cannot exceed what has been
foreordained for you).” On that, ‘Umar said (to the Prophet ), “Allow me to chop off his neck!” The
Prophet said, “Leave him, for if he is he (i.e., Ad-Dajjal), then you will not be able to overcome him,
and if he is not, then you gain no good by killing him.”
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 616:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
I asked Allah’s Apostle about the plague. He said, “That was a means of torture which Allah used to
send upon whom-so-ever He wished, but He made it a source of mercy for the believers, for anyone
who is residing in a town in which this disease is present, and remains there and does not leave that
town, but has patience and hopes for Allah’s reward, and knows that nothing will befall him except
what Allah has written for him, then he will get such reward as that of a martyr.”

I saw the Prophet on the Day of (the battle of) Al-Khandaq, carrying earth with us and saying, “By
Allah, without Allah we would not have been guided, neither would we have fasted, nor would we
have prayed. O Allah! Send down Sakina (calmness) upon us and make our feet firm when we meet
(the enemy). The pagans have rebelled against us, but if they want to put us in affliction (i.e., fight
us) we refuse (to flee).” (See Hadith No. 430, Vol. 5).

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. ‘O Adam! You
are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.’ Then Adam said to him, ‘O Moses!
Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His
Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my
creation?’ So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses,” the Prophet added, repeating the State –
ment three times.

(the freed slave of Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba) Muawiya wrote to Mughira. ‘Write to me what you
heard the Prophet saying after his prayer.’ So Al-Mughira dictated to me and said, “I heard the
Prophet saying after the prayer, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone Who has no
partner. O Allah! No-one can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold, and
the fortune of a man of means is useless before You (i.e., only good deeds are of value).”
