Volume 6, Book 60, Number 3:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, “On the Day of Resurrection the Believers will assemble and say, ‘Let us ask
somebody to intercede for us with our Lord.’ So they will go to Adam and say, ‘You are the father of
all the people, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate to
you, and taught you the names of all things; so please intercede for us with your Lord, so that He
may relieve us from this place of ours.’ Adam will say, ‘I am not fit for this (i.e. intercession for you).’
Then Adam will remember his sin and feel ashamed thereof. He will say, ‘Go to Noah, for he was the
first Apostle, Allah sent to the inhabitants of the earth.’ They will go to him and Noah will say,

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 6 > BOOK 60: PROPHETIC COMMENTARY ON THE QUR’AN (TAFSEER OF THE PROPHET (PBUH))
‘I am not fit for this undertaking.’ He will remember his appeal to his Lord to do what he had no
knowledge of, then he will feel ashamed thereof and will say, ‘Go to the Khalil–r-Rahman (i.e. Abra –
ham).’ They will go to him and he will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking. Go to Moses, the slave to
whom Allah spoke (directly) and gave him the Torah .’ So they will go to him and he will say, ‘I am
not fit for this undertaking.’ and he will mention (his) killing a person who was not a killer, and so
he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord, and he will say, ‘Go to Jesus, Allah’s Slave, His Apostle
and Allah’s Word and a Spirit coming from Him. Jesus will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking, go
to Muhammad the Slave of Allah whose past and future sins were forgiven by Allah.’ So they will
come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my Lord’s Permission and I will be given permission.
When I see my Lord, I will fall down in Prostration and He will let me remain in that state as long as
He wishes and then I will be addressed.’ (Muhammad!) Raise your head. Ask, and your request will
be granted; say, and your saying will be listened to; intercede, and your intercession will be accep –
ted.’ I will raise my head and praise Allah with a saying (i.e. invocation) He will teach me, and then I
will intercede. He will fix a limit for me (to intercede for) whom I will admit into Paradise. Then I
will come back again to Allah, and when I see my Lord, the same thing will happen to me. And then I
will intercede and Allah will fix a limit for me to intercede whom I will let into Paradise, then I will
come back for the third time; and then I will come back for the fourth time, and will say, ‘None re –
mains in Hell but those whom the Quran has imprisoned (in Hell) and who have been destined to an
eternal stay in Hell.’ ” (The compiler) Abu ‘Abdullah said: ‘But those whom the Qur’an has imprisoned
in Hell,’ refers to the Statement of Allah:
“They will dwell therein forever.” (16.29)

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 7:
Narrated Anas:
‘Abdullah bin Salam heard the news of the arrival of Allah’s Apostle (at Medina) while he was on a
farm collecting its fruits. So he came to the Prophet and said, “I will ask you about three things which
nobody knows unless he be a prophet. Firstly, what is the first portent of the Hour? What is the first
meal of the people of Paradise? And what makes a baby look like its father or mother?’. The Prophet
said, “Just now Gabriel has informed me about that.” ‘Abdullah said, “Gabriel?” The Prophet said,
“Yes.” ‘Abdullah said, “He, among the angels is the enemy of the Jews.” On that the Prophet recited this
Holy Verse:–
“Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel (let him die in his fury!) for he has brought it (i.e. Qur’an) down
to your heart by Allah’s permission.” (2.97) Then he added, “As for the first portent of the Hour, it will
be a fire that will collect the people from the East to West. And as for the first meal of the people of
Paradise, it will be the caudite (i.e. extra) lobe of the fish liver. And if a man’s discharge proceeded
that of the woman, then the child resembles the father, and if the woman’s discharge proceeded that
of the man, then the child resembles the mother.” On hearing that, ‘Abdullah said, “I testify that None
has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that you are the Apostle of Allah, O, Allah’s Apostle; the
Jews are liars, and if they should come to know that I have embraced Islam, they would accuse me of
being a liar.” In the meantime some Jews came (to the Prophet) and he asked them, “What is ‘Abdul –
lah’s status amongst you?” They replied, “He is the best amongst us, and he is our chief and the son of
our chief.” The Prophet said, “What would you think if ‘Abdullah bin Salam embraced Islam?” They
replied, “May Allah protect him from this!” Then ‘Abdullah came out and said, “I testify that None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah.” The Jews then
said, “Abdullah is the worst of us and the son of the worst of us,” and disparaged him. On that ‘Ab –
dullah said, “O Allah’s Apostle! This is what I was afraid of!”

Volume 5, Book 59, Number 393:
Narrated Anas:
When it was the day of Uhud, the people left the Prophet while Abu Talha was in front of the
Prophet shielding him with his leather shield. Abu Talha was a skillful archer who used to shoot vi –
olently. He broke two or three arrow bows on that day. If a man carrying a quiver full of arrows
passed by, the Prophet would say (to him), put (scatter) its contents for Abu Talha.” The Prophet
would raise his head to look at the enemy, whereupon Abu Talha would say, “Let my father and
mother be sacrificed for you ! Do not raise your head, lest an arrow of the enemy should hit you.
(Let) my neck (be struck) rather than your neck.” I saw ‘Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr, and Um Su –
laim rolling up their dresses so that I saw their leg-bangles while they were carrying water skins on
their backs and emptying them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. They would return to refill
them and again empty them in the mouths of the (wounded) people. The sword fell from Abu Talha’s
hand twice or thrice (on that day).

said, “Are you Abu Jahl?” Abu Jahl replied, “Can there be a man more superior to the one whom you
have killed (or as Sulaiman said, or his own folk have killed.)?” Abu Jahl added, “Would that I had
been killed by other than a mere farmer. “

Haritha was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother
came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You know how dear Haritha is to me. If he is in
Paradise, I shall remain patient, and hope for reward from Allah, but if it is not so, then you shall see
what I do?” He said, “May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is
only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al-
Firdaus.”
