Volume 9, Book 93, Number 599:
Narrated Abu Said:
The Prophet mentioned a man from the people of the past or those who preceded you. The Prophet
said a sentence meaning: Allah had given him wealth and children. When his death approached, he
said to his sons, “What kind of father have I been to you?” They replied, “You have been a good fath –
er.” He told them that he had not presented any good deed before Allah, and if Allah should get hold
of him He would punish him.’ “So look!” he added, “When I die, burn me, and when I turn into coal,
crush me, and when there comes a windy day, scatter my ashes in the wind.” The Prophet added,
“Then by Allah, he took a firm promise from his children to do so, and they did so. (They burnt him
after his death) and threw his ashes on a windy day. Then Allah commanded to his ashes. “Be,” and
behold! He became a man standing! Allah said, “O My slave! What made you do what you did?” He
replied, “For fear of You.” Nothing saved him then but Allah’s Mercy (So Allah forgave him).

Narrated Abu Said:
A woman came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Men (only) benefit by your teach –
ings, so please devote to us from (some of) your time, a day on which we may come to you so that
you may teach us of what Allah has taught you.” Allah’s Apostle said, “Gather on such-and-such a
day at such-and-such a place.” They gathered and Allah’s Apostle came to them and taught them of
what Allah had taught him. He then said, “No woman among you who has lost her three children
(died) but that they will screen her from the Fire.” A woman among them said, “O Allah’s Apostle! If
she lost two children?” She repeated her question twice, whereupon the Prophet said, “Even two, even
two, even two!” (See Hadith No. 341, Vol. 2)

Volume 9, Book 88, Number 246:
Narrated Abu Sa’id:
One day Allah’s Apostle narrated to us a long narration about Ad-Dajjal and among the things he
narrated to us, was: “Ad-Dajjal will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes of
Medina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighboring Medina and there will appear to him a
man who will be the best or one of the best of the people. He will say ‘I testify that you are Ad-Dajjal
whose story Allah’s Apostle has told us.’ Ad-Dajjal will say (to his audience), ‘Look, if I kill this man
and then give him life, will you have any doubt about my claim?’ They will reply, ‘No,’ Then Ad-Daj –
jal will kill that man and then will make him alive. The man will say, ‘By Allah, now I recognize you
more than ever!’ Ad-Dajjal will then try to kill him (again) but he will not be given the power to do
so.”
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 67:
Narrated Abu Sa’id:
While the Prophet was distributing (something, ‘Abdullah bin Dhil Khawaisira At-Tamimi came
and said, “Be just, O Allah’s Apostle!” The Prophet said, “Woe to you ! Who would be just if I were
not?” ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab said, “Allow me to cut off his neck ! ” The Prophet said, ” Leave him, for he
has companions, and if you compare your prayers with their prayers and your fasting with theirs,
you will look down upon your prayers and fasting, in comparison to theirs. Yet they will go out of
the religion as an arrow darts through the game’s body in which case, if the Qudhadh of the arrow is
examined, nothing will be found on it, and when its Nasl is examined, nothing will be found on it;
and then its Nadiyi is examined, nothing will be found on it. The arrow has been too fast to be
smeared by dung and blood. The sign by which these people will be recognized will be a man whose
one hand (or breast) will be like the breast of a woman (or like a moving piece of flesh). These people
will appear when there will be differences among the people (Muslims).” Abu Sa’id added: I testify
that I heard this from the Prophet and also testify that ‘Ali killed those people while I was with him.
The man with the description given by the Prophet was brought to ‘Ali. The following Verses were

revealed in connection with that very person (i.e., ‘Abdullah bin Dhil-Khawaisira At-Tarnimi): ‘And
among them are men who accuse you (O Muhammad) in the matter of (the distribution of) the alms.’

Volume 8, Book 76, Number 537:
Narrated Abu Said:
The Prophet said, “Allah will say, ‘O Adam!. Adam will reply, ‘Labbaik and Sa’daik (I respond to
Your Calls, I am obedient to Your orders), wal Khair fi Yadaik (and all the good is in Your Hands)!’
Then Allah will say (to Adam), Bring out the people of the Fire.’ Adam will say, ‘What (how many) are
the people of the Fire?’ Allah will say, ‘Out of every thousand (take out) nine-hundred and ninety-
nine (persons).’ At that time children will become hoary-headed and every pregnant female will
drop her load (have an abortion) and you will see the people as if they were drunk, yet not drunk;
But Allah’s punishment will be very severe.”
That news distressed the companions of the Prophet too much, and they said, “O Allah’s Apostle!
Who amongst us will be that man (the lucky one out of one-thousand who will be saved from the
Fire)?” He said, “Have the good news that one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog, and the one (to
be saved will be) from you.” The Prophet added, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I Hope that you
(Muslims) will be one third of the people of Paradise.” On that, we glorified and praised Allah and
said, “Allahu Akbar.” The Prophet then said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I hope that you will
be one half of the people of Paradise, as your (Muslims) example in comparison to the other people
(non-Muslims), is like that of a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a round hairless spot on the
foreleg of a donkey.”

Narrated Abu Said :
The Prophet mentioned a man from the previous generation or from the people preceding your
age whom Allah had given both wealth and children. The Prophet said, “When the time of his death
approached, he asked his children, ‘What type of father have I been to you?’ They replied: You have
been a good father. He said, ‘But he (i.e. your father) has not stored any good deeds with Allah (for
the Hereafter): if he should face Allah, Allah will punish him. So listen, (O my children), when I die,
burn my body till I become mere coal and then grind it into powder, and when there is a stormy
wind, throw me (my ashes) in it.’ So he took a firm promise from his children (to follow his instruc –
tions). And by Allah they (his sons) did accordingly(fulfilled their promise.) Then Allah said, “Be”‘ and
behold! That man was standing there! Allah then said. “O my slave! What made you do what you
did?” That man said, “Fear of You.” So Allah forgave him.
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 477:
Narrated Abu Said:
Some people from the Ansar asked Allah’s Apostle (to give them something) and he gave to every –
one of them, who asked him, until all that he had was finished. When everything was finished and
he had spent all that was in his hand, he said to them, ‘”(Know) that if I have any wealth, I will not
withhold it from you (to keep for somebody else); And (know) that he who refrains from begging
others (or doing prohibited deeds), Allah will make him contented and not in need of others; and he
who remains patient, Allah will bestow patience upon him, and he who is satisfied with what he has,
Allah will make him self-sufficient. And there is no gift better and vast (you may be given) than pa –
tience.”
