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.

(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).”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Take refuge with Allah from the difficulties of severe calamities, from having an
evil end and a bad fate and from the malicious joy of your enemies.”
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 614:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
When taking an oath, the Prophet very often used to say, “No, by Him Who turns the hearts.”
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 602:
Narrated ‘Ali:
While we were sitting with the Prophet who had a stick with which he was scraping the earth, he
lowered his head and said, “There is none of you but has his place assigned either in the Fire or in
Paradise.” Thereupon a man from the people said, “Shall we not depend upon this, O Allah’s Apostle?”
The Prophet said, “No, but carry on and do your deeds, for everybody finds it easy to do such deeds
(as will lead him to his place).” The Prophet then recited the Verse: ‘As for him who gives (in charity)
and keeps his duty to Allah..’ (92.5)
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 603:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
We witnessed along with Allah’s Apostle the Khaibar (campaign). Allah’s Apostle told his compan –
ions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, “This man is from the people of the Fire.” When the
battle started, the man fought very bravely and received a great number of wounds and got crippled.
On that, a man from among the companions of the Prophet came and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Do
you know what the man you described as of the people of the Fire has done? He has fought very
bravely for Allah’s Cause and he has received many wounds.” The Prophet said, “But he is indeed one
of the people of the Fire.” Some of the Muslims were about to have some doubt about that statement.
So while the man was in that state, the pain caused by the wounds troubled him so much that he put
his hand into his quiver and took out an arrow and committed suicide with it. Off went some men
from among the Muslims to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Allah has made your state –
ment true. So-and-so has committed suicide.” Allah’s Apostle said, “O Bilal! Get up and announce in
public: None will enter Paradise but a believer, and Allah may support this religion (Islam) with a
wicked man.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 77: DIVINE WILL (AL-QADAR)
There was a man who fought most bravely of all the Muslims on behalf of the Muslims in a battle
(Ghazwa) in the company of the Prophet. The Prophet looked at him and said. “If anyone would like
to see a man from the people of the Fire, let him look at this (brave man).” On that, a man from the
People (Muslims) followed him, and he was in that state i.e., fighting fiercely against the pagans till
he was wounded, and then he hastened to end his life by placing his sword between his breasts (and
pressed it with great force) till it came out between his shoulders. Then the man (who was watching
that person) went quickly to the Prophet and said, “I testify that you are Allah’s Apostle!” The Prophet
asked him, “Why do you say that?” He said, “You said about so-and-so, ‘If anyone would like to see a
man from the people of the Fire, he should look at him.’ He fought most bravely of all of us on behalf
of the Muslims and I knew that he would not die as a Muslim (Martyr). So when he got wounded, he
hastened to die and committed suicide.” There-upon the Prophet said, “A man may do the deeds of
the people of the Fire while in fact he is one of the people of Paradise, and he may do the deeds of the
people of Paradise while in fact he belongs to the people of Fire, and verily, (the rewards of) the
deeds are decided by the last actions (deeds)”.
