Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
We got female captives in the war booty and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So we
asked Allah’s Apostle about it and he said, “Do you really do that?” repeating the question thrice,
“There is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into existence, till the Day of Resurrection.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 61: VIRTUES OF THE QUR’AN
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “There will appear some people among you whose prayer will make
you look down upon yours, and whose fasting will make you look down upon yours, but they will
recite the Qur’an which will not exceed their throats (they will not act on it) and they will go out of
Islam as an arrow goes out through the game whereupon the archer would examine the arrowhead
but see nothing, and look at the unfeathered arrow but see nothing, and look at the arrow feathers
but see nothing, and finally he suspects to find something in the lower part of the arrow.”

Volume 6, Book 61, Number 529:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
While we were on one of our journeys, we dismounted at a place where a slave girl came and
said, “The chief of this tribe has been stung by a scorpion and our men are not present; is there any –
body among you who can treat him (by reciting something)?” Then one of our men went along with
her though we did not think that he knew any such treatment. But he treated the chief by reciting
something, and the sick man recovered whereupon he gave him thirty sheep and gave us milk to
drink (as a reward). When he returned, we asked our friend, “Did you know how to treat with the
recitation of something?” He said, “No, but I treated him only with the recitation of the Mother of the
Book (i.e., Al-Fatiha).” We said, “Do not say anything (about it) till we reach or ask the Prophet so
when we reached Medina, we mentioned that to the Prophet (in order to know whether the sheep
which we had taken were lawful to take or not). The Prophet said, “How did he come to know that it
(Al-Fatiha) could be used for treatment? Distribute your reward and assign for me one share thereof
as well.”

Volume 6, Book 61, Number 533:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
A man heard another man reciting (Surat-Al-Ikhlas) ‘Say He is Allah, (the) One.’ (112. 1) re –
peatedly. The next morning he came to Allah’s Apostle and informed him about it as if he thought
that it was not enough to recite. On that Allah’s Apostle said, “By Him in Whose Hand my life is, this
Surah is equal to one-third of the Qur’an!”
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: My brother, Qatada bin An-Nau’man said, “A man performed the
night prayer late at night in the lifetime of the Prophet and he read: ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One,’
(112.1) and read nothing besides that. The next morning a man went to the Prophet ,~ and told him
about that . (The Prophet replied the same as (in Hadith 532) above.)

Volume 6, Book 61, Number 534:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said to his companions, “Is it difficult for any of you to recite one third of the Qur’an
in one night?” This suggestion was difficult for them so they said, “Who among us has the power to
do so, O Allah’s Apostle?” Allah Apostle replied: ” Allah (the) One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom
all creatures need.’ (Surat Al-Ikhlas 112.1–to the End) is equal to one third of the Qur’an.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 321:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
We said, “O Allah’s Apostle! (We know) this greeting (to you) but how shall we invoke Allah for
you?” He said, “Say! Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin ‘Abdika wa rasulika kama- sallaita ‘ala all
Ibrahim wa barik ala Muhammadin wa’ala all Muhammadin kama barakta ‘ala all Ibrahim.’ Al-Laith
said: ‘Ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala all Muhammadin kama barakta ala all Ibrahim.

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 265:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, “On the day of Resurrection Allah will say, ‘O Adam!’ Adam will reply, ‘Labbaik
our Lord, and Sa’daik ‘ Then there will be a loud call (saying), Allah orders you to take from among
your offspring a mission for the (Hell) Fire.’ Adam will say, ‘O Lord! Who are the mission for the
(Hell) Fire?’ Allah will say, ‘Out of each thousand, take out 999.’ At that time every pregnant female
shall drop her load (have a miscarriage) and a child will have grey hair. And you shall see mankind
as in a drunken state, yet not drunk, but severe will be the torment of Allah.” (22.2) (When the
Prophet mentioned this), the people were so distressed (and afraid) that their faces got changed (in
color) whereupon the Prophet said, “From Gog and Magog nine-hundred ninety-nine will be taken
out and one from you. You Muslims (compared to the large number of other people) will be like a
black hair on the side of a white ox, or a white hair on the side of a black ox, and I hope that you will
be one-fourth of the people of Paradise.” On that, we said, “Allahu-Akbar!” Then he said, “I hope that
you will be) one-third of the people of Paradise.” We again said, “Allahu-Akbar!” Then he said, “(I
hope that you will be) one-half of the people of Paradise.” So we said, Allahu Akbar.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 254:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle said, “On the Day of Resurrection Death will be brought forward in the shape of a
black and white ram. Then a call maker will call, ‘O people of Paradise!’ Thereupon they will stretch
their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, ‘Do you know this?’ They will say, ‘Yes, this is
Death.’ By then all of them will have seen it. Then it will be announced again, ‘O people of Hell !’
They will stretch their necks and look carefully. The caller will say, ‘Do you know this?’ They will
say, ‘Yes, this is Death.’ And by then all of them will have seen it. Then it (that ram) will be
slaughtered and the caller will say, ‘O people of Paradise! Eternity for you and no death O people of
Hell! Eternity for you and no death.”‘ Then the Prophet, recited:–
‘And warn them of the Day of distress when the case has been decided, while (now) they are in a
state of carelessness (i.e. the people of the world) and they do not believe.’ (19.39)
