Narrated Abu Huraira:
“A man from the Muslims and a man from the Jews quarrelled, and the Muslim said, “By Him Who
gave superiority to Muhammad over all the people!” The Jew said, “By Him Who gave superiority to
Moses over all the people!’ On that the Muslim lifted his hand and slapped the Jew. The Jew went to
Allah’s Apostle and informed him of all that had happened between him and the Muslim. The Proph –
et said, “Do not give me superiority over Moses, for the people will fall unconscious on the Day of
Resurrection, I will be the first to regain consciousness and behold, Moses will be standing there,
holding the side of the Throne. I will not know whether he has been one of those who have fallen
unconscious and then regained consciousness before me, or if he has been one of those exempted by
Allah (from falling unconscious).” (See Hadith No. 524, Vol. 8)

When the people slept till so late that they did not offer the (morning) prayer, the Prophet said,
“Allah captured your souls (made you sleep) when He willed, and returned them (to your bodies)

the sun had risen and it had become white, then the Prophet got up and offered the prayer.

Allah’s Prophet Solomon who had sixty wives, once said, “Tonight I will have sexual relation
(sleep) with all my wives so that each of them will become pregnant and bring forth (a boy who will

Volume 9, Book 93, Number 560:
Narrated ‘Ubada bin As-Samit:
I, along with a group of people, gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah’s Apostle. He said, “I take
your Pledge on the condition that you (1) will not join partners in worship with Allah, (2) will not
steal, (3) will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, (4) will not kill your offspring, (5) will not
slander, (6) and will not disobey me when I order you to do good. Whoever among you will abide by
his pledge, his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits any of those sins and receives the
punishment in this world, that punishment will be an expiation for his sins and purification; but if
Allah screens him, then it will be up to Allah to punish him if He will or excuse Him, if He will.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
I heard Allah’s Apostle while he was standing on the pulpit, saying, “The remaining period of your
stay (on the earth) in comparison to the nations before you, is like the period between the ‘Asr prayer
and sunset. The people of the Torah were given the Torah and they acted upon it till midday, and
then they were worn out and were given for their labor, one Qirat each. Then the people of the Gos –
pel were given the Gospel and they acted upon it till the time of the ‘Asr prayer, and then they were
worn out and were given (for their labor), one Qirat each. Then you people were given the Quran
and you acted upon it till sunset and so you were given two Qirats each (double the reward of the
previous nations).” Then the people of the Torah said, ‘O our Lord! These people have done a little
labor (much less than we) but have taken a greater reward.’ Allah said, ‘Have I withheld anything
from your reward?’ They said, ‘No.’ Then Allah said, ‘That is My Favor which I bestow on whom I
wish.’ “

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 9 > BOOK 93: ONENESS, UNIQUENESS OF ALLAH (TAWHEED)
Allah’s Apostle said, “The example of a believer is that of a fresh green plant the leaves of which
move in whatever direction the wind forces them to move and when the wind becomes still, it stand
straight. Such is the similitude of the believer: He is disturbed by calamities (but is like the fresh plant
he regains his normal state soon). And the example of a disbeliever is that of a pine tree (which re –
mains) hard and straight till Allah cuts it down when He will.” (See Hadith No. 546 and 547, Vol. 7).

That one night Allah’s Apostle visited him and Fatima, the daughter of Allah’s Apostle and said to
them, “Won ‘t you offer (night) prayer?.. ‘Ali added: I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Our souls are in the
Hand of Allah and when He Wishes to bring us to life, He does.” Then Allah’s Apostle went away
when I said so and he did not give any reply. Then I heard him on leaving while he was striking his
thighs, saying, ‘But man is, more quarrelsome than anything.’ (18.54)
