Volume 8, Book 77, Number 615:
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.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 77: DIVINE WILL (AL-QADAR)
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).

Volume 8, Book 77, Number 608:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
That the Prophet said, “No Caliph is appointed but has two groups of advisors: One group advises
him to do good and urges him to adopt it, and the other group advises him to do bad and urges him
to adopt it; and the protected is the one whom Allah protects.”
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 609:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
I did not see anything so resembling minor sins as what Abu Huraira said from the Prophet, who
said, “Allah has written for the son of Adam his inevitable share of adultery whether he is aware of it
or not: The adultery of the eye is the looking (at something which is sinful to look at), and the adul –
tery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the innerself wishes and longs for
(adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation.”
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 610:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
(regarding the Verse) “And We granted the vision (Ascension to the heavens “Miraj”) which We
showed you (O Muhammad as an actual eye witness) but as a trial for mankind.’ (17.60): Allah’s
Apostle actually saw with his own eyes the vision (all the things which were shown to him) on the
night of his Night Journey to Jerusalem (and then to the heavens). The cursed tree which is men –
tioned in the Qur’an is the tree of Az-Zaqqum.
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 611:
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.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 77: DIVINE WILL (AL-QADAR)
(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).”
