Volume 8, Book 76, Number 509:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah said, ‘I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious wor –
shipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I
have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil
(praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of
hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he
grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My protec –
tion (Refuge), I will protect him; (i.e. give him My Refuge) and I do not hesitate to do anything as I
hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him.”

Volume 8, Book 76, Number 513:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The Hour will not be established till the sun rises from the west, and when it
rises (from the west) and the people see it, then all of them will believe (in Allah). But that will be the
time when ‘No good it will do to a soul to believe then. If it believed not before..”‘ (6.158)
The Hour will be established (so suddenly) that two persons spreading a garment between them
will not be able to finish their bargain, nor will they be able to fold it up. The Hour will be estab –
lished while a man is carrying the milk of his she-camel, but cannot drink it; and the Hour will be
established when someone is not able to prepare the tank to water his livestock from it; and the Hour
will be established when some of you has raised his food to his mouth but cannot eat it.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 76: TO MAKE THE HEART TENDER (AR-RIQAQ)
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 514:
Narrated ‘Ubada bin As-Samit:
The Prophet said, “Who-ever loves to meet Allah, Allah (too) loves to meet him and who-ever hates
to meet Allah, Allah (too) hates to meet him”. ‘Aisha, or some of the wives of the Prophet said, “But we
dislike death.” He said: It is not like this, but it is meant that when the time of the death of a believer
approaches, he receives the good news of Allah’s pleasure with him and His blessings upon him, and
so at that time nothing is dearer to him than what is in front of him. He therefore loves the meeting
with Allah, and Allah (too) loves the meeting with him. But when the time of the death of a disbeliev –
er approaches, he receives the evil news of Allah’s torment and His Requital, whereupon nothing is
more hateful to him than what is before him. Therefore, he hates the meeting with Allah, and Allah
too, hates the meeting with him.”

Narrated Jundub:
The Prophet said, “He who lets the people hear of his good deeds intentionally, to win their praise,
Allah will let the people know his real intention (on the Day of Resurrection), and he who does good
things in public to show off and win the praise of the people, Allah will disclose his real intention
(and humiliate him).
