Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
A man from the Jews, having been slapped on his face, came to the Prophet and said, “O
Muhammad! A man from your companions from the Ansar has slapped me on my face!” The Proph –
et said, “Call him.” When they called him, the Prophet said, “Why did you slap him?” He said, “O Al –

lah’s Apostle! While I was passing by the Jews, I heard him saying, ‘By Him Who selected Moses
above the human beings,’ I said, ‘Even above Muhammad?’ I became furious and slapped him on the
face.” The Prophet said, “Do not give me superiority over the other prophets, for on the Day of Resur –
rection the people will become unconscious and I will be the first to regain consciousness. Then I
will see Moses holding one of the legs of the Throne. I will not know whether he has come to his
senses before me or that the shock he had received at the Mountain, (during his worldly life) was
sufficient for him.”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 105:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
During the lifetime of the Prophet some people said, : O Allah’s Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on
the Day of Resurrection?” The Prophet said, “Yes; do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at mid –
day when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?” They replied, “No.” He said, “Do you have any
difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?”
They replied, “No.” The Prophet said, “(Similarly) you will have no difficulty in seeing Allah on the
Day of Resurrection as you have no difficulty in seeing either of them. On the Day of Resurrection, a
call-maker will announce, “Let every nation follow that which they used to worship.” Then none of
those who used to worship anything other than Allah like idols and other deities but will fall in Hell
(Fire), till there will remain none but those who used to worship Allah, both those who were obedient
(i.e. good) and those who were disobedient (i.e. bad) and the remaining party of the people of the
Scripture. Then the Jews will be called upon and it will be said to them, ‘Who do you use to worship?’
They will say, ‘We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.’ It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for
Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son. What do you want now?’ They will say, ‘O our Lord!
We are thirsty, so give us something to drink.’ They will be directed and addressed thus, ‘Will you
drink,’ whereupon they will be gathered unto Hell (Fire) which will look like a mirage whose differ –
ent sides will be destroying each other. Then they will fall into the Fire. Afterwards the Christians
will be called upon and it will be said to them, ‘Who do you use to worship?’ They will say, ‘We used
to worship Jesus, the son of Allah.’ It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for Allah has never taken
anyone as a wife or a son,’ Then it will be said to them, ‘What do you want?’ They will say what the
former people have said. Then, when there remain (in the gathering) none but those who used to

worship Allah (Alone, the real Lord of the Worlds) whether they were obedient or disobedient. Then
(Allah) the Lord of the worlds will come to them in a shape nearest to the picture they had in their
minds about Him. It will be said, ‘What are you waiting for?’ Every nation have followed what they
used to worship.’ They will reply, ‘We left the people in the world when we were in great need of
them and we did not take them as friends. Now we are waiting for our Lord Whom we used to wor –
ship.’ Allah will say, ‘I am your Lord.’ They will say twice or thrice, ‘We do not worship any besides
Allah.’ “

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
During the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle, some men among the hypocrites used to remain behind him
(i.e. did not accompany him) when he went out for a Ghazwa and they would be pleased to stay at
home behind Allah’s Apostle When Allah’s Apostle returned (from the battle) they would put forward
(false) excuses and take oaths, wishing to be praised for what they had not done. So there was re –
vealed:–
“Think not that those who rejoice in what they have done, and love to be praised for what they
have not done..” (3.188)

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Noah will be called on the Day of Resurrection and he will say, ‘Labbaik and
Sa’daik, O my Lord!’ Allah will say, ‘Did you convey the Message?’ Noah will say, ‘Yes.’ His nation will
then be asked, ‘Did he convey the Message to you?’ They will say, ‘No Warner came to us.’ Then Allah
will say (to Noah), ‘Who will bear witness in your favor?’ He will say, ‘Muhammad and his followers.
So they (i.e. Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message. And the Apostle (Muhammad) will
be a witness over yourselves, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allah “Thus We have
made of you a just and the best nation that you may be witnesses over mankind and the Apostle
(Muhammad) will be a witness over yourselves.” (2.143)
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 244:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle sat on the pulpit and said, “Allah has given one of His Slaves the choice of receiving
the splendor and luxury of the worldly life whatever he likes or to accept the good (of the Hereafter)
which is with Allah. So he has chosen that good which is with Allah.” On that Abu Bakr wept and
said, “Our fathers and mothers be sacrificed for you.” We became astonished at this. The people said,
“Look at this old man! Allah’s Apostle talks about a Slave of Allah to whom He has given the option to
choose either the splendor of this worldly life or the good which is with Him, while he says. ‘our
fathers and mothers be sacrifice(i for you.” But it was Allah’s Apostle who had been given option, and
Abu Bakr knew it better than we. Allah’s Apostle added, “No doubt, I am indebted to Abu Bakr more
than to anybody else regarding both his companionship and his wealth. And if I had to take a Khalil
from my followers, I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr, but the fraternity of Islam is. sufficient.
Let no door (i.e. Khoukha) of the Mosque remain open, except the door of Abu Bakr.”
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 224:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
That he heard the Prophet when somebody mentioned his uncle (i.e. Abu Talib), saying, “Perhaps
my intercession will be helpful to him on the Day of Resurrection so that he may be put in a shallow
fire reaching only up to his ankles. His brain will boil from it.”
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 148:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Some people (i.e. the Jews of Bani bin Quraiza) agreed to accept the verdict of Sad bin Muadh so
the Prophet sent for him (i.e. Sad bin Muadh). He came riding a donkey, and when he approached
the Mosque, the Prophet said, “Get up for the best amongst you.” or said, “Get up for your chief.” Then
the Prophet said, “O Sad! These people have agreed to accept your verdict.” Sad said, “I judge that
their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as captives.” The
Prophet said, “You have given a judgment similar to Allah’s Judgment (or the King’s judgment).”
Volume 5, Book 57, Number 40:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “While I was sleeping, the people were presented to me (in a
dream). They were wearing shirts, some of which were merely covering their (chests). and some
were a bit longer. ‘Umar was presented before me and his shirt was so long that he was dragging it.”
They asked, “How have you interpreted it, O Allah’s Apostle?” He said, “Religion.”
