Volume 8, Book 76, Number 575:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet said, “I know the person who will be the last to come out of the (Hell) Fire, and the last
to enter Paradise. He will be a man who will come out of the (Hell) Fire crawling, and Allah will say
to him, ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will go to it, but he will imagine that it had been filled, and then
he will return and say, ‘O Lord, I have found it full.’ Allah will say, ‘Go and enter Paradise, and you
will have what equals the world and ten times as much (or, you will have as much as ten times the
like of the world).’ On that, the man will say, ‘Do you mock at me (or laugh at me) though You are
the King?” I saw Allah’s Apostle (while saying that) smiling that his premolar teeth became visible. It
is said that will be the lowest in degree amongst the people of Paradise.
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 574:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who will be the luckiest person who will gain your intercession on the
Day of Resurrection?” The Prophet said, “O Abu Huraira! I have thought that none will ask me about
this Hadith before you, as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who
will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said, ‘None has the right to
be worshipped but Allah,’ sincerely from the bottom of his heart.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 76: TO MAKE THE HEART TENDER (AR-RIQAQ)
The Prophet said, “None will enter Paradise but will be shown the place he would have occupied in
the (Hell) Fire if he had rejected faith, so that he may be more thankful; and none will enter the
(Hell) Fire but will be shown the place he would have occupied in Paradise if he had faith, so that
may be a cause of sorrow for him.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 572:
Narrated Anas:
Um (the mother of) Haritha came to Allah’s Apostle after Haritha had been martyred on the Day
(of the battle) of Badr by an arrow thrown by an unknown person. She said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You
know the position of Haritha in my heart (i.e. how dear to me he was), so if he is in Paradise, I will
not weep for him, or otherwise, you will see what I will do.” The Prophet said, “Are you mad? Is there
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises, and he is in the highest Paradise of Firdaus.” The
Prophet added, “A forenoon journey or an after noon journey in Allah’s Cause is better than the
whole world and whatever is in it; and a place equal to an arrow bow of anyone of you, or a place
equal to a foot in Paradise is better than the whole world and whatever is in it; and if one of the wo –
men of Paradise looked at the earth, she would fill the whole space between them (the earth and the
heaven) with light, and would fill whatever is in between them, with perfume, and the veil of her
face is better than the whole world and whatever is in it.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 571:
Narrated ‘Imran bin Husain:

Muhammad they will enter Paradise and will be called Al-Jahannamiyin (the Hell Fire people).”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 570:
Narrated Anas:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah will gather all the people on the Day of Resurrection and they will say,
‘Let us request someone to intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from this place of
ours.’ Then they will go to Adam and say, ‘You are the one whom Allah created with His Own Hands,
and breathed in you of His soul, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you; so please intercede for us
with our Lord.’ Adam will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking, and will remember his sin, and
will say, ‘Go to Noah, the first Apostle sent by Allah’ They will go to him and he will say, ‘I am not fit
for this undertaking’, and will remember his sin and say, ‘Go to Abraham whom Allah took as a
Khalil. They will go to him (and request similarly). He will reply, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’

and will remember his sin and say, ‘Go to Moses to whom Allah spoke directly.’ They will go to Moses
and he will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking,’ and will remember his sin and say, ‘Go to Jesus.’
They will go to him, and he will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking, go to Muhammad as Allah has
forgiven his past and future sins.’ They will come to me and I will ask my Lord’s permission, and
when I see Him, I will fall down in prostration to Him, and He will leave me in that state as long as
(He) Allah will, and then I will be addressed. ‘Raise up your head (O Muhammad)! Ask, and your re –
quest will be granted, and say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession
will be accepted.’ Then I will raise my head, and I will glorify and praise my Lord with a saying(i.e.
invocation) He will teach me, and then I will intercede, Allah will fix a limit for me (i.e., certain type
of people for whom I may intercede), and I will take them out of the (Hell) Fire and let them enter
Paradise. Then I will come back (to Allah) and fall in prostration, and will do the same for the third
and fourth times till no-one remains in the (Hell) Fire except those whom the Qur’an has imprisoned
therein.” (The sub-narrator, Qatada used to say at that point, “…those upon whom eternity (in Hell)
has been imposed.”) (See Hadith No. 3, Vol 6).
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 569:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
I heard Allah’s Apostles when his uncle, Abu Talib had been mentioned in his presence, saying,
“May be my intercession will help him (Abu Talib) on the Day of Resurrection so that he may be put
in a shallow place in the Fire, with fire reaching his ankles and causing his brain to boil.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 568:
Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
The Prophet mentioned the Fire and turned his face aside and asked for Allah’s protection from it,
and then again he mentioned the Fire and turned his face aside and asked for Allah’s protection from
it and said, “Protect yourselves from the Hell-Fire, even if with one half of a date, and he who cannot
afford that, then (let him do so) by (saying) a good, pleasant word.”
