Narrated ‘Imran bin Hussain:
While I was with the Prophet , some people from Bani Tamim came to him. The Prophet said, “O
Bani Tamim! Accept the good news!” They said, “You have given us the good news; now give us
(something).” (After a while) some Yemenites entered, and he said to them, “O the people of Yemen!
Accept the good news, as Bani Tamim have refused it. ” They said, “We accept it, for we have come to
you to learn the Religion. So we ask you what the beginning of this universe was.” The Prophet said
“There was Allah and nothing else before Him and His Throne was over the water, and He then cre –

ated the Heavens and the Earth and wrote everything in the Book.” Then a man came to me and said,
‘O Imran! Follow your she-camel for it has run away!” So I set out seeking it, and behold, it was bey –
ond the mirage! By Allah, I wished that it (my she-camel) had gone but that I had not left (the gath –
ering). “
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 515:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The Right (Hand) of Allah Is full, and (Its fullness) is not affected by the con –
tinuous spending night and day. Do you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and the
Earth? Yet all that has not decreased what is in His Right Hand. His Throne is over the water and in
His other Hand is the Bounty or the Power to bring about death, and He raises some people and
brings others down.” (See Hadith No. 508)
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 516:
Narrated Anas:
Zaid bin Haritha came to the Prophet complaining about his wife. The Prophet kept on saying (to
him), “Be afraid of Allah and keep your wife.” Aisha said, “If Allah’s Apostle were to conceal anything
(of the Quran he would have concealed this Verse.” Zainab used to boast before the wives of the
Prophet and used to say, “You were given in marriage by your families, while I was married (to the
Prophet) by Allah from over seven Heavens.” And Thabit recited, “The Verse:– ‘But (O Muhammad)
you did hide in your heart that which Allah was about to make manifest, you did fear the people,’
(33.37) was revealed in connection with Zainab and Zaid bin Haritha.”
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 507:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “Allah will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection in the same way (as
they are gathered in this life), and they will say, ‘Let us ask someone to intercede for us with our Lord
that He may relieve us from this place of ours.’ Then they will go to Adam and say, ‘O Adam! Don’t
you see the people (people’s condition)? Allah created you with His Own Hands and ordered His an –
gels to prostrate before you, and taught you the names of all the things. Please intercede for us with
our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of ours.’ Adam will say, ‘I am not fit for this un –
dertaking’ and mention to them the mistakes he had committed, and add, “But you d better go to
Noah as he was the first Apostle sent by Allah to the people of the Earth.’ They will go to Noah who
will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’ and mention the mistake which he made, and add, ‘But
you’d better go to Abraham, Khalil Ar-Rahman.’
They will go to Abraham who will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’ and mention to them
the mistakes he made, and add, ‘But you’d better go to Moses, a slave whom Allah gave the Torah and
to whom He spoke directly’ They will go to Moses who will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’
and mention to them the mistakes he made, and add, ‘You’d better go to Jesus, Allah’s slave and His
Apostle and His Word (Be: And it was) and a soul created by Him.’ They will go to Jesus who will say,
‘I am not fit for this undertaking, but you’d better go to Muhammad whose sins of the past and the
future had been forgiven (by Allah).’ So they will come to me and I will ask the permission of my
Lord, and I will be permitted (to present myself) before Him. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in
(prostration) before Him and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then it will
be said to me, ‘O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you
will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.’ I will then raise
my head and praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede.
Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit whom I will admit
into Paradise.
I will come back again, and when I see my Lord (again), I will fall down in prostration before Him,
and He will leave me (in prostration) as long as He wishes, and then He will say, ‘O Muhammad!
Raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your
request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.’ I will then praise my Lord with cer –
tain praises which He has taught me, and then I will intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for

a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit to whom I will admit into Paradise, I will return again,
and when I see my Lord, I will fall down (in prostration) and He will leave me (in prostration) as
long as He wishes, and then He will say, ‘O Muhammad! Raise your head and speak, for you will be
listened to, and ask, for you will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will
be accepted.’ I will then praise my Lord with certain praises which He has taught me, and then I will
intercede. Allah will allow me to intercede (for a certain kind of people) and will fix a limit to whom
I will admit into Paradise. I will come back and say, ‘O my Lord! None remains in Hell (Fire) but
those whom Qur’an has imprisoned therein and for whom eternity in Hell (Fire) has become inevit –
able.’ ”
The Prophet added, “There will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: ‘La ilaha illal-lah,’ and
has in his heart good equal to the weight of a barley grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire)
everyone who says: ‘ La ilaha illal-lah,’ and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a wheat
grain. Then there will come out of Hell (Fire) everyone who says: ‘La ilaha illal-lah,’ and has in his
heart good equal to the weight of an atom (or a smallest ant).”

Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah’s Hand is full, and (its fullness) is not affected by the continuous spend –
ing, day and night.” He also said, “Do you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and
the Earth? Yet all that has not decreased what is in His Hand.” He also said, “His Throne is over the
water and in His other Hand is the balance (of Justice) and He raises and lowers (whomever He
will).” (See Hadith No. 206, Vol. 6)

Narrated ‘Abdullah:
A Jew came to the Prophet and said, “O Muhammad! Allah will hold the heavens on a Finger, and
the mountains on a Finger, and the trees on a Finger, and all the creation on a Finger, and then He
will say, ‘I am the King.’ ” On that Allah’s Apostle smiled till his premolar teeth became visible, and
then recited:–
