Allah’s Apostle said, “Whoever possesses the (following) three qualities will have the sweetness of
faith (1): The one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else; (2) Who loves a

hates to be thrown into the Fire.”

Narrated Qais:
I heard Sa’id bin Zaid saying, “I have seen myself tied and forced by ‘Umar to leave Islam (Before
‘Umar himself embraced Islam). And if the mountain of Uhud were to collapse for the evil which you
people had done to ‘Uthman, then Uhud would have the right to do so.” (See Hadith No. 202, Vol. 5)

Narrated Khabbab bin Al-Art:
We complained to Allah’s Apostle (about our state) while he was leaning against his sheet cloak in
the shade of the Ka’ba. We said, “Will you ask Allah to help us? Will you invoke Allah for us?” He
said, “Among those who were before you a (believer) used to be seized and, a pit used to be dug for
him and then he used to be placed in it. Then a saw used to be brought and put on his head which
would be split into two halves. His flesh might be combed with iron combs and removed from his
bones, yet, all that did not cause him to revert from his religion. By Allah! This religion (Islam) will
be completed (and triumph) till a rider (traveler) goes from San’a’ (the capital of Yemen) to Had –

Narrated ‘Abdullah:
When the Verse:–‘Those who believe and did not confuse their belief with wrong (worshipping
others besides Allah).’ (6.82) was revealed, it was hard on the companions of the Prophet and they
said, “Who among us has not wronged (oppressed) himself?” Allah’s Apostle said, “The meaning of
the Verse is not as you think, but it is as Luqman said to his son, ‘O my son! Join not in worship oth –
ers with Allah, Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed.'” (31.13)

lah, only for Allah’s sake?” They replied, “Yes” The Prophet said, “Nobody will meet Allah with that
saying on the Day of Resurrection, but Allah will save him from the Fire.”
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 67:
Narrated Abu Sa’id:
While the Prophet was distributing (something, ‘Abdullah bin Dhil Khawaisira At-Tamimi came
and said, “Be just, O Allah’s Apostle!” The Prophet said, “Woe to you ! Who would be just if I were
not?” ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab said, “Allow me to cut off his neck ! ” The Prophet said, ” Leave him, for he
has companions, and if you compare your prayers with their prayers and your fasting with theirs,
you will look down upon your prayers and fasting, in comparison to theirs. Yet they will go out of
the religion as an arrow darts through the game’s body in which case, if the Qudhadh of the arrow is
examined, nothing will be found on it, and when its Nasl is examined, nothing will be found on it;
and then its Nadiyi is examined, nothing will be found on it. The arrow has been too fast to be
smeared by dung and blood. The sign by which these people will be recognized will be a man whose
one hand (or breast) will be like the breast of a woman (or like a moving piece of flesh). These people
will appear when there will be differences among the people (Muslims).” Abu Sa’id added: I testify
that I heard this from the Prophet and also testify that ‘Ali killed those people while I was with him.
The man with the description given by the Prophet was brought to ‘Ali. The following Verses were

revealed in connection with that very person (i.e., ‘Abdullah bin Dhil-Khawaisira At-Tarnimi): ‘And
among them are men who accuse you (O Muhammad) in the matter of (the distribution of) the alms.’
