Abraham did not tell a lie except on three occasion. Twice for the Sake of Allah when he said, “I
am sick,” and he said, “(I have not done this but) the big idol has done it.” The (third was) that while
Abraham and Sarah (his wife) were going (on a journey) they passed by (the territory of) a tyrant.
Someone said to the tyrant, “This man (i.e. Abraham) is accompanied by a very charming lady.” So, he
sent for Abraham and asked him about Sarah saying, “Who is this lady?” Abraham said, “She is my
sister.” Abraham went to Sarah and said, “O Sarah! There are no believers on the surface of the earth
except you and I. This man asked me about you and I have told him that you are my sister, so don’t
contradict my statement.” The tyrant then called Sarah and when she went to him, he tried to take
hold of her with his hand, but (his hand got stiff and) he was confounded. He asked Sarah. “Pray to
Allah for me, and I shall not harm you.” So Sarah asked Allah to cure him and he got cured. He tried
to take hold of her for the second time, but (his hand got as stiff as or stiffer than before and) was
more confounded. He again requested Sarah, “Pray to Allah for me, and I will not harm you.” Sarah
asked Allah again and he became alright. He then called one of his guards (who had brought her)
and said, “You have not brought me a human being but have brought me a devil.” The tyrant then
gave Hajar as a girl-servant to Sarah. Sarah came back (to Abraham) while he was praying. Abra –
ham, gesturing with his hand, asked, “What has happened?” She replied, “Allah has spoiled the evil
plot of the infidel (or immoral person) and gave me Hajar for service.” (Abu Huraira then addressed
his listeners saying, “That (Hajar) was your mother, O Bani Ma-is-Sama (i.e. the Arabs, the descend –
ants of Ishmael, Hajar’s son).”

One day some meat was given to the Prophet and he said, “On the Day of Resurrection Allah will
gather all the first and the last (people) in one plain, and the voice of the announcer will reach all of
them, and one will be able to see them all, and the sun will come closer to them.” (The narrator then
mentioned the narration of intercession): “The people will go to Abraham and say: ‘You are Allah’s
Prophet and His Khalil on the earth. Will you intercede for us with your Lord?’ Abraham will then
remember his lies and say: ‘Myself! Myself! Go to Moses.”

We were in the company of the Prophet at a banquet and a cooked (mutton) forearm was set be –
fore him, and 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 how Allah will gather all the first and the last (people) in one
level place where an observer will be able to see (all) of them and they will be able to hear the an –
nouncer, and the sun will come near to them. Some People will say: Don’t you see, in what condition
you are and the state to which you have reached? Why don’t you look for a person who can inter –
cede for you with your Lord? Some people will say: Appeal to your father, Adam.’ They will go to him
and say: ‘O Adam! You are the father of all mankind, and Allah created you with His Own Hands,
and ordered the angels to prostrate for you, and made you live in Paradise. Will you not intercede for
us with your Lord? Don’t you see in what (miserable) state we are, and to what condition we have
reached?’ On that Adam will reply, ‘My Lord is so angry as He has never been before and will never
be in the future; (besides), He forbade me (to eat from) the tree, but I disobeyed (Him), (I am worried
about) myself! Myself! Go to somebody else; go to Noah.’ They will go to Noah and say; ‘O Noah! You
are the first amongst the messengers of Allah to the people of the earth, and Allah named you a
thankful slave. Don’t you see in what a (miserable) state we are and to what condition we have
reached? Will you not intercede for us with your Lord? Noah will reply: ‘Today my Lord has become
so angry as he had never been before and will never be in the future Myself! Myself! Go to the

will be accepted, and ask (for anything). for you will be given. “
