Volume 6, Book 60, Number 262:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “Moses argued with Adam and said to him (Adam), ‘You are the one who got the
people out of Paradise by your sin, and thus made them miserable.” Adam replied, ‘O Moses! You are
the one whom Allah selected for His Message and for His direct talk. Yet you blame me for a thing
which Allah had ordained for me before He created me?.” Allah’s Apostle further said, “So Adam
overcame Moses by this Argument.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 253:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “On the Day of Resurrection, a huge fat man will come who will not weigh,
the weight of the wing of a mosquito in Allah’s Sight.” and then the Prophet added, ‘We shall not give
them any weight on the Day of Resurrection ‘ (18.105)

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 260:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Adam and Moses met, and Moses said to Adam “You are the one who made
people miserable and turned them out of Paradise.” Adam said to him, “You are the one whom Allah
selected for His message and whom He selected for Himself and upon whom He revealed the Torah.”
Moses said, ‘Yes.’ Adam said, “Did you find that written in my fate before my creation?’ Moses said,
‘Yes.’ So Adam overcame Moses with this argument.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 223:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “When Allah has ordained some affair in the Heaven, the angels beat with their
wings in obedience to His statement, which sounds like a chain dragged over a rock.” (‘Ali and other
sub-narrators said, “The sound reaches them.”) “Until when fear is banished from their (angels)
hearts, they (angels) say, ‘What was it that your Lord said? They say, ‘The truth; And He is the Most
High, the Most Great.’ (34.23) Then those who gain a hearing by stealing (i.e. devils) will hear Allah’s
Statement:– ‘Those who gain a hearing by stealing, (stand one over the other like this).

(Sufyan, to illustrate this, spread the fingers of his right hand and placed them one over the other
horizontally.) A flame may overtake and burn the eavesdropper before conveying the news to the
one below him; or it may not overtake him till he has conveyed it to the one below him, who in his
turn, conveys it to the one below him, and so on till they convey the news to the earth. (Or probably
Sufyan said, “Till the news reaches the earth.”) Then the news is inspired to a sorcerer who would
add a hundred lies to it. His prophecy will prove true (as far as the heavenly news is concerned). The
people will say. ‘Didn’t he tell us that on such-and-such a day, such-and-such a thing will happen?
We have found that is true because of the true news heard from heaven.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 232:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle was presented with two cups one containing wine and the other milk on the night
of his night journey at Jerusalem. He looked at it and took the milk. Gabriel said, “Thanks to Allah
Who guided you to the Fitra (i.e. Islam); if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone
astray.

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 236:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Some (cooked) meat was brought to Allah Apostle and the meat of a forearm was presented to him
as he used to like it. He ate a morsel of it and said, “I will be the chief of all the people on the Day of
Resurrection. Do you know the reason for it? Allah will gather all the human being of early genera –
tions as well as late generation on one plain so that the announcer will be able to make them all-
hear his voice and the watcher will be able to see all of them. The sun will come so close to the
people that they will suffer such distress and trouble as they will not be able to bear or stand. Then
the people will say, ‘Don’t you see to what state you have reached? Won’t you look for someone who
can intercede for you with your Lord’ Some people will say to some others, ‘Go to Adam.’ So they will
go to Adam and say to him. ‘You are the father of mankind; Allah created you with His Own Hand,
and breathed into you of His Spirit (meaning the spirit which he created for you); and ordered the
angels to prostrate before you; so (please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don’t you see in what state
we are? Don’t you see what condition we have reached?’ Adam will say, ‘Today my Lord has become
angry as He has never become before, nor will ever become thereafter. He forbade me (to eat of the
fruit of) the tree, but I disobeyed Him . Myself! Myself! Myself! (has more need for intercession). Go
to someone else; go to Noah.’ So they will go to Noah and say (to him), ‘O Noah! You are the first (of
Allah’s Messengers) to the people of the earth, and Allah has named you a thankful slave; please in –
tercede for us with your Lord. Don’t you see in what state we are?’ He will say.’ Today my Lord has
become angry as He has never become nor will ever become thereafter. I had (in the world) the right
to make one definitely accepted invocation, and I made it against my nation. Myself! Myself! Myself!
Go to someone else; go to Abraham.’ They will go to Abraham and say, ‘O Abraham! You are Allah’s
Apostle and His Khalil from among the people of the earth; so please intercede for us with your Lord.
Don’t you see in what state we are?’ He will say to them, ‘My Lord has today become angry as He has
never become before, nor will ever become thereafter. I had told three lies (Abu Haiyan (the sub-
narrator) mentioned them in the Hadith) Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Moses.’
The people will then go to Moses and say, ‘O Moses! You art Allah’s Apostle and Allah gave you su –

periority above the others with this message and with His direct Talk to you; (please) intercede for us
with your Lord Don’t you see in what state we are?’ Moses will say, ‘My Lord has today become angry
as He has never become before, nor will become thereafter, I killed a person whom I had not been
ordered to kill. Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Jesus.’ So they will go to Jesus and
say, ‘O Jesus! You are Allah’s Apostle and His Word which He sent to Mary, and a superior soul cre –
ated by Him, and you talked to the people while still young in the cradle. Please intercede for us with
your Lord. Don’t you see in what state we are?’ Jesus will say. ‘My Lord has today become angry as He
has never become before nor will ever become thereafter. Jesus will not mention any sin, but will
say, ‘Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Muhammad.’ So they will come to me and say,
‘O Muhammad ! You are Allah’s Apostle and the last of the prophets, and Allah forgave your early
and late sins. (Please) intercede for us with your Lord. Don’t you see in what state we are?” The
Prophet added, “Then I will go beneath Allah’s Throne and fall in prostration before my Lord. And
then Allah will guide me to such praises and glorification to Him as He has never guided anybody
else before me. Then it will be said, ‘O Muhammad Raise your head. Ask, and it will be granted. In –
tercede It (your intercession) will be accepted.’ So I will raise my head and Say, ‘My followers, O my
Lord! My followers, O my Lord’. It will be said, ‘O Muhammad! Let those of your followers who have
no accounts, enter through such a gate of the gates of Paradise as lies on the right; and they will
share the other gates with the people.” The Prophet further said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is,
the distance between every two gate-posts of Paradise is like the distance between Mecca and Busra
(in Sham).”
