Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “A man used to give loans to the people and used to say to his servant, ‘If the
debtor is poor, forgive him, so that Allah may forgive us.’ So when he met Allah (after his death), Al –
lah forgave him.”

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 688:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “A man used to do sinful deeds, and when death came to him, he said to his sons,
‘After my death, burn me and then crush me, and scatter the powder in the air, for by Allah, if Allah
has control over me, He will give me such a punishment as He has never given to anyone else.’ When
he died, his sons did accordingly. Allah ordered the earth saying, ‘Collect what you hold of his
particles.’ It did so, and behold! There he was (the man) standing. Allah asked (him), ‘What made you
do what you did?’ He replied, ‘O my Lord! I was afraid of You.’ So Allah forgave him. ” Another nar –
rator said “The man said, Fear of You, O Lord!”

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 693:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “We are the last (to come) but we will be the foremost on the Day of Resurrec –
tion, nations were given the Book (i.e. Scripture) before us, and we were given the Holy Book after
them. This (i.e. Friday) is the day about which they differed. So the next day (i.e. Saturday) was pre –
scribed for the Jews and the day after it (i.e. Sunday) for the Christians. It is incumbent on every
Muslim to wash his head and body on a Day (i.e. Friday) (at least) in every seven days.”

Once Allah’s Apostle was asked, “Who is the most honorable amongst the people?” He said, “The

“Then Joseph, the prophet of Allah.”

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 699:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “You see that the people are of different natures. Those who were the best in
the pre-lslamic period, are also the best in Islam if they comprehend religious knowledge. You see
that the best amongst the people in this respect (i.e. ambition of ruling) are those who hate it most.
And you see that the worst among people is the double faced (person) who appears to these with one
face and to the others with another face (i.e a hypocrite).”

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 700:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The tribe of Quraish has precedence over the people in this connection (i.e the
right of ruling). The Muslims follow the Muslims amongst them, and the infidels follow the infidels

amongst them. People are of different natures: The best amongst them in the pre-lslamic period are
the best in Islam provided they comprehend the religious knowledge. You will find that the best
amongst the people in this respect (i.e. of ruling) is he who hates it (i.e. the idea of ruling) most, till
he is given the pledge of allegiance.”

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 703:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “Pride and arrogance are characteristics of the rural bedouins while
calmness is found among the owners of sheep. Belief is Yemenite, and wisdom is also Yemenite i.e.
the Yemenites are well-known for their true belief and wisdom).” Abu ‘Abdullah (Al-Bukhari) said,
“Yemen was called so because it is situated to the right of the Ka’ba, and Sham was called so because
it is situated to the left of the Ka’ba.”
