Narrated 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle, the truthful and truly-inspired, said, "Each
one of you collected in the womb of his mother for forty days, and then turns
into a clot for an equal period (of forty days) and turns into a piece of flesh
for a similar period (of forty days) and then Allah sends an angel and orders
him to write four things, i.e., his provision, his age, and whether he will be
of the wretched or the blessed (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed
into him. And by Allah, a person among you (or a man) may do deeds of the
people of the Fire till there is only a cubit or an arm-breadth distance
between him and the Fire, but then that writing (which Allah has ordered the
angel to write) precedes, and he does the deeds of the people of Paradise and
enters it; and a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise till there is
only a cubit or two between him and Paradise, and then that writing precedes
and he does the deeds of the people of the Fire and enters it."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 594:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said, "Allah puts an angel in charge of the
uterus and the angel says, 'O Lord, (it is) semen! O Lord, (it is now ) a clot!
O Lord, (it is now) a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allah wishes to complete
its creation, the angel asks, 'O Lord, (will it be) a male or a female? A
wretched (an evil doer) or a blessed (doer of good)? How much will his
provisions be? What will his age be?' So all that is written while the creature
is still in the mother's womb."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 595:
Narrated Imran bin Husain:
A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Can the people of Paradise be
known (differentiated) from the people of the Fire; The Prophet replied,
"Yes." The man said, "Why do people (try to) do (good)
deeds?" The Prophet said, "Everyone will do the deeds for which he
has been created to do or he will do those deeds which will be made easy for
him to do." (i.e. everybody will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him
to his destined place for which he has been created).
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 596:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet ; was asked about the offspring of the pagans. He
said, "Allah knows what they would have done (were they to live)."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 597:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle was asked about the offspring of the pagans. He
said, "Allah knows what they would have done (were they to live)."
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "No child is born
but has the Islamic Faith, but its parents turn it into a Jew or a Christian.
It is as you help the animals give birth. Do you find among their offspring a
mutilated one before you mutilate them yourself?" The people said, "O
Allah's Apostle! What do you think about those (of them) who die young?"
The Prophet said, "Allah knows what they would have done (were they to
live)."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 598:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "No woman should ask for the divorce of
her sister (Muslim) so as to take her place, but she should marry the man
(without compelling him to divorce his other wife), for she will have nothing
but what Allah has written for her."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 599:
Narrated Usama:
Once while I was with the Prophet and Sa'd, Ubai bin Ka'b and
Mu'adh were also sitting with him, there came to him a messenger from one of
his daughters, telling him that her child was on the verge of death. The
Prophet told the messenger to tell her, "It is for Allah what He takes,
and it is for Allah what He gives, and everything has its fixed time (limit).
So (she should) be patient and look for Allah's reward."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 600:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
That while he was sitting with the Prophet a man from the Ansar
came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We get slave girls from the war
captives and we love property; what do you think about coitus
interruptus?" Allah's Apostle said, "Do you do that? It is better for
you not to do it, for there is no soul which Allah has ordained to come into
existence but will be created."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 601:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet once delivered a speech in front of us wherein he left
nothing but mentioned (about) everything that would happen till the Hour. Some
of us stored that our minds and some forgot it. (After that speech) I used to
see events taking place (which had been referred to in that speech) but I had
forgotten them (before their occurrence). Then I would recognize such events as
a man recognizes another man who has been absent and then sees and recognizes
him.
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 602:
Narrated 'Ali:
While we were sitting with the Prophet who had a stick with which
he was scraping the earth, he lowered his head and said, "There is none of
you but has his place assigned either in the Fire or in Paradise."
Thereupon a man from the people said, "Shall we not depend upon this, O
Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet said, "No, but carry on and do your
deeds, for everybody finds it easy to do such deeds (as will lead him to his
place)." The Prophet then recited the Verse: 'As for him who gives (in
charity) and keeps his duty to Allah..' (92.5)
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 603:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
We witnessed along with Allah's Apostle the Khaibar (campaign).
Allah's Apostle told his companions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim,
"This man is from the people of the Fire." When the battle started,
the man fought very bravely and received a great number of wounds and got
crippled. On that, a man from among the companions of the Prophet came and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you know what the man you described as of the
people of the Fire has done? He has fought very bravely for Allah's Cause and
he has received many wounds." The Prophet said, "But he is indeed one
of the people of the Fire." Some of the Muslims were about to have some
doubt about that statement. So while the man was in that state, the pain caused
by the wounds troubled him so much that he put his hand into his quiver and
took out an arrow and committed suicide with it. Off went some men from among
the Muslims to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Allah has
made your statement true. So-and-so has committed suicide." Allah's
Apostle said, "O Bilal! Get up and announce in public: None will enter Paradise
but a believer, and Allah may support this religion (Islam) with a wicked
man."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 604:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd:
There was a man who fought most bravely of all the Muslims on
behalf of the Muslims in a battle (Ghazwa) in the company of the Prophet. The
Prophet looked at him and said. "If anyone would like to see a man from
the people of the Fire, let him look at this (brave man)." On that, a man
from the People (Muslims) followed him, and he was in that state i.e., fighting
fiercely against the pagans till he was wounded, and then he hastened to end
his life by placing his sword between his breasts (and pressed it with great
force) till it came out between his shoulders. Then the man (who was watching
that person) went quickly to the Prophet and said, "I testify that you are
Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet asked him, "Why do you say that?"
He said, "You said about so-and-so, 'If anyone would like to see a man
from the people of the Fire, he should look at him.' He fought most bravely of
all of us on behalf of the Muslims and I knew that he would not die as a Muslim
(Martyr). So when he got wounded, he hastened to die and committed
suicide." There-upon the Prophet said, "A man may do the deeds of the
people of the Fire while in fact he is one of the people of Paradise, and he
may do the deeds of the people of Paradise while in fact he belongs to the
people of Fire, and verily, (the rewards of) the deeds are decided by the last
actions (deeds)".
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 605:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet forbade vowing and said, "In fact, vowing does
not prevent anything, but it makes a miser to spend his property."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 606:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said (that Allah said), "Vowing does not bring to
the son of Adam anything I have not already written in his fate, but vowing is
imposed on him by way of fore ordainment. Through vowing I make a miser spend
of his wealth."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 607:
Narrated Abu Musa:
While we were with Allah's Apostle in a holy battle, we never went
up a hill or reached its peak or went down a valley but raised our voices with
Takbir. Allah's Apostle came close to us and said, "O people! Don't exert
yourselves, for you do not call a deaf or an absent one, but you call the All-Listener,
the All-Seer." The Prophet then said, "O 'Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I
teach you a sentence which is from the treasures of Paradise? ( It is): 'La
haula wala quwata illa billah. (There is neither might nor power except with
Allah)."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 608:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
That the Prophet said, "No Caliph is appointed but has two
groups of advisors: One group advises him to do good and urges him to adopt it,
and the other group advises him to do bad and urges him to adopt it; and the
protected is the one whom Allah protects."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 609:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I did not see anything so resembling minor sins as what Abu
Huraira said from the Prophet, who said, "Allah has written for the son of
Adam his inevitable share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not: The
adultery of the eye is the looking (at something which is sinful to look at),
and the adultery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and
the innerself wishes and longs for (adultery) and the private parts turn that
into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 610:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
(regarding the Verse) "And We granted the vision (Ascension
to the heavens "Miraj") which We showed you (O Muhammad as an actual
eye witness) but as a trial for mankind.' (17.60): Allah's Apostle actually saw
with his own eyes the vision (all the things which were shown to him) on the
night of his Night Journey to Jerusalem (and then to the heavens). The cursed tree
which is mentioned in the Qur'an is the tree of Az-Zaqqum.
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 611:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other.
Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned
us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with
His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own
Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years
before my creation?' So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the
Prophet added, repeating the Statement three times.
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 612:
Narrated Warrad:
(the freed slave of Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba) Muawiya wrote to
Mughira. 'Write to me what you heard the Prophet saying after his prayer.' So
Al-Mughira dictated to me and said, "I heard the Prophet saying after the
prayer, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah Alone Who has no
partner. O Allah! No-one can withhold what You give, and none can give what You
withhold, and the fortune of a man of means is useless before You (i.e., only
good deeds are of value)."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 613:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Take refuge with Allah from the
difficulties of severe calamities, from having an evil end and a bad fate and
from the malicious joy of your enemies."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 614:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
When taking an oath, the Prophet very often used to say, "No,
by Him Who turns the hearts."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 615:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet said to Ibn Saiyad, "I have kept for you a
secret." Ibn Saiyad said, "Ad-Dukh." The Prophet said,
"Keep quiet, for you cannot go beyond your limits (or you cannot exceed
what has been foreordained for you)." On that, 'Umar said (to the Prophet
), "Allow me to chop off his neck!" The Prophet said, "Leave
him, for if he is he (i.e., Ad-Dajjal), then you will not be able to overcome
him, and if he is not, then you gain no good by killing him."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 616:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I asked Allah's Apostle about the plague. He said, "That was
a means of torture which Allah used to send upon whom-so-ever He wished, but He
made it a source of mercy for the believers, for anyone who is residing in a
town in which this disease is present, and remains there and does not leave
that town, but has patience and hopes for Allah's reward, and knows that
nothing will befall him except what Allah has written for him, then he will get
such reward as that of a martyr."
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 617:
Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:
I saw the Prophet on the Day of (the battle of) Al-Khandaq,
carrying earth with us and saying, "By Allah, without Allah we would not
have been guided, neither would we have fasted, nor would we have prayed. O Allah!
Send down Sakina (calmness) upon us and make our feet firm when we meet (the
enemy). The pagans have rebelled against us, but if they want to put us in
affliction (i.e., fight us) we refuse (to flee)." (See Hadith No. 430,
Vol. 5).
