Sahih Muslim — Faith

This hadith is transmitted by 'Amr b. Yahya with the same chain of transmitters who narrated:They would be cast into the river which is called (the river of) life, and (both the narrators) did not doubt the hadith. The text transmitted by Khalid is: just as seeds sprout beside the flood water; and in the hadith of Wuhaib it is: Just as the seed sprouts in the silt or deposit left by flood

وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا عفان، حدثنا وهيب، ح وحدثنا حجاج بن الشاعر، حدثنا عمرو بن عون، اخبرنا خالد، كلاهما عن عمرو بن يحيى، بهذا الاسناد وقالا فيلقون في نهر يقال له الحياة . ولم يشكا . وفي حديث خالد كما تنبت الغثاءة في جانب السيل . وفي حديث وهيب كما تنبت الحبة في حمية او حميلة السيل

It is reported by Abu Sa'id that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:The (permanent) inhabitants of the Fire are those who are doomed to it, and verily they would neither die nor live in it (al-Qur'an, xx. 47; lxxxvii. 13). But the people whom the Fire would afflict (temporarily) on account of their sins, or so said (the narrator)" on account of their misdeeds," He would cause them to die till they would be turned into charcoal. Then they would be granted intercession and would be brought in groups and would be spread on the rivers of Paradise and then it would be said: O inhabitants of Paradise, pour water over them; then they would sprout forth like the sprouting of seed in the silt carried by flood. A man among the people said: (It appears) as if the Messenger of Allah lived in the steppe

وحدثني نصر بن علي الجهضمي، حدثنا بشر، - يعني ابن المفضل - عن ابي مسلمة، عن ابي نضرة، عن ابي سعيد، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اما اهل النار الذين هم اهلها فانهم لا يموتون فيها ولا يحيون ولكن ناس اصابتهم النار بذنوبهم - او قال بخطاياهم - فاماتهم اماتة حتى اذا كانوا فحما اذن بالشفاعة فجيء بهم ضباير ضباير فبثوا على انهار الجنة ثم قيل يا اهل الجنة افيضوا عليهم . فينبتون نبات الحبة تكون في حميل السيل " . فقال رجل من القوم كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد كان بالبادية

Abu Nadra narrated it from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri who reported it from the Apostle (ﷺ) a similar (hadith) up to the words:" in the mud of the flood," and he did not mention (the words narrated) after it

وحدثناه محمد بن المثنى، وابن، بشار قالا حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، عن ابي مسلمة، قال سمعت ابا نضرة، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بمثله الى قوله " في حميل السيل " . ولم يذكر ما بعده

Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:I know the last of the inhabitants of Fire to be taken out therefrom, and the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it. A man will come out of the Fire crawling. Then Allah, the Blessed and Exalted will say to him: Go and enter Paradise. So he would come to it and it would appear to him as if it were full. He would go back and say: O my Lord! I found it full. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, would say to him: Go and enter Paradise. He would come and perceive as if it were full. He would return and say: O my Lord! I found it full. Allah would say to him: Go and enter Paradise, for there is for you the like of the world and ten times like it, or for you is ten times the like of this world. He (the narrator) said. He (that man) would say: Art Thou making a fun of me? or Art Thou laughing at me. though Thou art the King? He (the narrator) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were visible. And it was said: That would be the lowest rank among the inhabitants of Paradise

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، واسحاق بن ابراهيم الحنظلي، كلاهما عن جرير، قال عثمان حدثنا جرير، عن منصور، عن ابراهيم، عن عبيدة، عن عبد الله بن مسعود، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اني لاعلم اخر اهل النار خروجا منها واخر اهل الجنة دخولا الجنة رجل يخرج من النار حبوا فيقول الله تبارك وتعالى له اذهب فادخل الجنة فياتيها فيخيل اليه انها ملاى فيرجع فيقول يا رب وجدتها ملاى . فيقول الله تبارك وتعالى له اذهب فادخل الجنة - قال - فياتيها فيخيل اليه انها ملاى فيرجع فيقول يا رب وجدتها ملاى فيقول الله له اذهب فادخل الجنة فان لك مثل الدنيا وعشرة امثالها او ان لك عشرة امثال الدنيا - قال - فيقول اتسخر بي - او اتضحك بي - وانت الملك " قال لقد رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ضحك حتى بدت نواجذه . قال فكان يقال ذاك ادنى اهل الجنة منزلة

It is narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him said:I recognise the last of the inhabitants of Fire to be taken out thereof. A man will come out of it crawling. It will be said to him: Go and enter Paradise. He (the Holy Prophet) said: He would go there to enter Paradise, but would find persons who have already occupied all its apartments. It would be said to him: Do you recall the time when you were in it (in the Hell)? He would say: Yes. It would be said to him: Express any desire. And he would express the desire. It would be said to him: For thee is that which thou desireth and ten times the world (worldly resources). He (the Holy Prophet) said: He would say: Art Thou making a fun of me, though Thou art the King? I saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were visible

وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، وابو كريب - واللفظ لابي كريب - قالا حدثنا ابو معاوية، عن الاعمش، عن ابراهيم، عن عبيدة، عن عبد الله، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اني لاعرف اخر اهل النار خروجا من النار رجل يخرج منها زحفا فيقال له انطلق فادخل الجنة - قال - فيذهب فيدخل الجنة فيجد الناس قد اخذوا المنازل فيقال له اتذكر الزمان الذي كنت فيه فيقول نعم . فيقال له تمن . فيتمنى فيقال له لك الذي تمنيت وعشرة اضعاف الدنيا - قال - فيقول اتسخر بي وانت الملك " قال فلقد رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ضحك حتى بدت نواجذه

Ibn Mas'ud reported:Verily the Messenger of Allah said: The last to enter Paradise would be a man who would walk once and stumble once and be burnt by the Fire once. Then when he gets beyond it, he will turn to it and say: Blessed is He Who has saved me from thee. Allah has given me something He has not given to any one of those in earlier or later times. Then a tree would be raised up for him and he will say: O my Lord I bring me near this tree so that I may take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Allah, the Exalted and Great, would say: O son of Adam, if I grant you this, you will ask Me for something else. He would say: No. my Lord. And he would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord would excuse him because He sees what he cannot help desiring; so He would bring him near it, and he would take shelter in its shade and drink of its water. Afterwards a tree more beautiful than the first would be raised up before him and he would say: O my Lord! bring me near this tree in order that I may drink of its water and take shelter in its shade and I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, if I bring you near it you may ask me for something else. He would promise Him that he would not ask for anything else. His Lord will excuse him because He would see something he cannot help desiring. So He would bring him near it and he would enjoy its shade and drink its water. Then a tree would be raised up for him at the gate of the Paradise, more beautiful than the first two. He would say: O my Lord! bring me near this (tree) so that I may enjoy its shade and drink from its water. I shall not ask Thee for anything else. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! did you not promise Me that you would not ask Me anything else? He would say: Yes, my Lord, but I shall not ask Thee for anything else. His Lord would excuse him for He sees something the temptation of which he could not resist. He (Allah) would bring him near to it, and when He would bring him near it he would hear the voices of the inhabitants of the Paradise. He would say: O my Lord! admit me to it. He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam, what will bring an end to your requests to Me? Will it please you if I give you the whole world and a like one along with it? He will say: O my Lord! art Thou mocking at me, though Thou art the Lord of the worlds? Ibn Mas'ud laughed and asked (the hearers): Why don't you ask me what I am laughing at. They (then) said: Why do you laugh? He said: It is in this way that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) laughed. They (the companions of the Holy Prophet) asked: Why do you laugh. Messenger of Allah? He said: On account of the laugh of the Lord of the universe, when he ldesirer of Paradise) sai Thou mocking at me though Thou art the Lord of the worlds? He would say: I am not mocking at you, but I have power to do whatever I will

It is transmitted from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that, verily, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Amongst the inhabitants of Paradise the lowest in rank will be the person whose face Allah would turn away from the Fire towards the Paradise, and make a shady tree appear before him. He would say: O my Lord! direct my steps to this tree so that I (should enjoy) its shade; and the rest of the hadith is like that narrated by Ibn Mas'ud, but he did not mention:" He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! what will bring an end to your making requests to Me" to the end of the tradition. In it, he added: Allah will remind him: Ask such and such, and when his expectations would be realised, Allah would say: That is for you, and ten times as much. He said that he would then enter his house and his two wives with large and dark eyes would enter after him. They will say: Praise be to Allah, Who has created you for us and us for you. He will say: No one has been given the like of what I have been given

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا يحيى بن ابي بكير، حدثنا زهير بن محمد، عن سهيل بن ابي صالح، عن النعمان بن ابي عياش، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " ان ادنى اهل الجنة منزلة رجل صرف الله وجهه عن النار قبل الجنة ومثل له شجرة ذات ظل فقال اى رب قدمني الى هذه الشجرة اكون في ظلها " . وساق الحديث بنحو حديث ابن مسعود ولم يذكر " فيقول يا ابن ادم ما يصريني منك " . الى اخر الحديث وزاد فيه " ويذكره الله سل كذا وكذا فاذا انقطعت به الاماني قال الله هو لك وعشرة امثاله - قال - ثم يدخل بيته فتدخل عليه زوجتاه من الحور العين فتقولان الحمد لله الذي احياك لنا واحيانا لك - قال - فيقول ما اعطي احد مثل ما اعطيت

The same hadith has been by AlMughirah bin Shu’bah attributing it to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)

حدثنا سعيد بن عمرو الاشعثي، حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة، عن مطرف، وابن، ابجر عن الشعبي، قال سمعت المغيرة بن شعبة، رواية ان شاء الله ح وحدثنا ابن ابي عمر، حدثنا سفيان، حدثنا مطرف بن طريف، وعبد الملك بن سعيد، سمعا الشعبي، يخبر عن المغيرة بن شعبة، قال سمعته على المنبر، يرفعه الى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم

It is reported on the authority of al-Mughira b. Shu'ba that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Moses asked his Lord: Who amongst the inhabitants of Paradise is the lowest to rank? He (Allah) said: The person who would be admitted into Paradise last of all among those deserving of Paradise who are admitted to it. I would be said to him: Enter Paradise. He would say: O my Lord! how (should I enter) while the people have settled in their apartments and taken the shares (portions)? It would be said to him: Would you be pleased if there be for you like the kingdom of a king amongst the kings of the world? He would say: I am pleased my Lord. He (Allah) would say: For you is that, and like that, and like that, and like that, and that. He would say at the fifth (point): I am well pleased. My Lord. He (Allah) would say: It is for you and, ten times like it, and for you is what your self desires and your eye enjoys. He would say: I am well pleased, my Lord. He (Moses) said: (Which is) the highest of their (inhabitants of Paradise) ranks? He (Allah) said: They are those whom I choose. I establish their honour with My own hand and then set a seal over it (and they would be blessed with Bounties) which no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human mind has perceived: and this is sub- stantiated by the Book of Allah, Exalted and Great:" So no soul knows what delight of the eye is hidden for them; a reward for what they did" (xxxii)

قال وحدثني بشر بن الحكم، - واللفظ له - حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة، حدثنا مطرف، وابن، ابجر سمعا الشعبي، يقول سمعت المغيرة بن شعبة، يخبر به الناس على المنبر قال سفيان رفعه احدهما - اراه ابن ابجر - قال " سال موسى ربه ما ادنى اهل الجنة منزلة قال هو رجل يجيء بعد ما ادخل اهل الجنة الجنة فيقال له ادخل الجنة . فيقول اى رب كيف وقد نزل الناس منازلهم واخذوا اخذاتهم فيقال له اترضى ان يكون لك مثل ملك ملك من ملوك الدنيا فيقول رضيت رب . فيقول لك ذلك ومثله ومثله ومثله ومثله . فقال في الخامسة رضيت رب . فيقول هذا لك وعشرة امثاله ولك ما اشتهت نفسك ولذت عينك . فيقول رضيت رب . قال رب فاعلاهم منزلة قال اوليك الذين اردت غرست كرامتهم بيدي وختمت عليها فلم تر عين ولم تسمع اذن ولم يخطر على قلب بشر " . قال ومصداقه في كتاب الله عز وجل { فلا تعلم نفس ما اخفي لهم من قرة اعين} الاية

Abu Dharr reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:I know the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it and the last of the inhabitants of Hell to come out of it. He is a man who would be brought on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said: Present his minor sins to him, and withhold from him his serious sins. Then the minor sins would be placed before him, and it would be said: On such and such a day you did so and so and on such and such a day you did so and so. He would say: Yes. It will not be possible for him to deny, while he would be afraid lest serious sins should be presented before him. It would be said to him: In place of every evil deed you will have a good deed. He will say: My Lord! I have done things I do not see here. I indeed saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were exposed

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن نمير، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا الاعمش، عن المعرور بن سويد، عن ابي ذر، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اني لاعلم اخر اهل الجنة دخولا الجنة واخر اهل النار خروجا منها رجل يوتى به يوم القيامة فيقال اعرضوا عليه صغار ذنوبه وارفعوا عنه كبارها . فتعرض عليه صغار ذنوبه فيقال عملت يوم كذا وكذا كذا وكذا وعملت يوم كذا وكذا كذا وكذا . فيقول نعم . لا يستطيع ان ينكر وهو مشفق من كبار ذنوبه ان تعرض عليه . فيقال له فان لك مكان كل سيية حسنة . فيقول رب قد عملت اشياء لا اراها ها هنا " . فلقد رايت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ضحك حتى بدت نواجذه

This hadith is also narrated by another chain of narrators, i. e. Ibn Numair, Abu Mu'awiya, Waki', Abu Bakr b. Abi Shaiba, Abu Kuraib, A'mash

وحدثنا ابن نمير، حدثنا ابو معاوية، ووكيع، ح وحدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا وكيع، ح وحدثنا ابو كريب، حدثنا ابو معاوية، كلاهما عن الاعمش، بهذا الاسناد

It is reported on the authority of Abu Zubair that he heard from Jabir b 'Abdullah, who was asked about the arrival (of people on the Day of Resurrection). He said. We would come on the Day of Resurrection like this, like this, and see. carefully. that which concerns" elevated people". He (the narrator) said:Then the people would be summoned along with their idols whom they worshipped, one after another. Then our Lord would come to us and say: Whom are you waiting for? They would say: We are waiting for our Lord. He would say: I am your Lord. They would say: (We are not sure) till we gaze at Thee, and He would manifest Himself to them smilingly, and would go along with them and they would follow Him; and every person, whether a hypocrite or a believer, would be endowed with a light, and there would be spikes and hooks on the bridge of the Hell, which would catch hold of those whom Allah willed. Then the light of the hypocrites would be extinguished, and the believers would secure salvation. and the first group to achieve it would comprise seventy thousand men who would have the brightness of full moon on their faces, and they would not be called to account. Then the people immediately following them would have their faces as the brightest stars in the heaven. This is how (the groups would follow one after another). Then the stage of intercession would come, and they (who are permitted to intercede) would intercede, till he who had declared:" There is no god but Allah" and had in his heart virtue of the weight of a barley grain would come out of the Fire. They would be then brought in the courtyard of Paradise and the inhabitants of Paradise would begin to sprinkle water over them till they would sprout like the sprouting of a thing in flood water, and their burns would disappear. They would ask their Lord till they would be granted (the bounties) of the world and with it ten more besides it

حدثني عبيد الله بن سعيد، واسحاق بن منصور، كلاهما عن روح، قال عبيد الله حدثنا روح بن عبادة القيسي، حدثنا ابن جريج، قال اخبرني ابو الزبير، انه سمع جابر بن عبد الله، يسال عن الورود، فقال نجيء نحن يوم القيامة عن كذا، وكذا، انظر اى ذلك فوق الناس - قال - فتدعى الامم باوثانها وما كانت تعبد الاول فالاول ثم ياتينا ربنا بعد ذلك فيقول من تنظرون فيقولون ننظر ربنا . فيقول انا ربكم . فيقولون حتى ننظر اليك . فيتجلى لهم يضحك - قال - فينطلق بهم ويتبعونه ويعطى كل انسان منهم - منافق او مومن - نورا ثم يتبعونه وعلى جسر جهنم كلاليب وحسك تاخذ من شاء الله ثم يطفا نور المنافقين ثم ينجو المومنون فتنجو اول زمرة وجوههم كالقمر ليلة البدر سبعون الفا لا يحاسبون ثم الذين يلونهم كاضوا نجم في السماء ثم كذلك ثم تحل الشفاعة ويشفعون حتى يخرج من النار من قال لا اله الا الله وكان في قلبه من الخير ما يزن شعيرة فيجعلون بفناء الجنة ويجعل اهل الجنة يرشون عليهم الماء حتى ينبتوا نبات الشىء في السيل ويذهب حراقه ثم يسال حتى تجعل له الدنيا وعشرة امثالها معها

Jabir reported that he had heard with his ears the Apostle (ﷺ) saying:Allah will bring out people from the Fire and admit them into Paradise

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة، عن عمرو، سمع جابرا، يقول سمعه من النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم باذنه يقول " ان الله يخرج ناسا من النار فيدخلهم الجنة

Hammad b. Zaid, reported:I said to 'Amr b. Dinar: Did you hear Jabir b. 'Abdullah narrating from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that Allah would bring out people from the Fire through intercession. He said: Yes

حدثنا ابو الربيع، حدثنا حماد بن زيد، قال قلت لعمرو بن دينار اسمعت جابر بن عبد الله يحدث عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان الله يخرج قوما من النار بالشفاعة " . قال نعم

Jabir b. 'Abdullah repotted:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Verily people would be brought out from the Fire, and they would be burnt except the exterior (surfaces, fronts) of their faces; and they would enter Paradise

حدثنا حجاج بن الشاعر، حدثنا ابو احمد الزبيري، حدثنا قيس بن سليم العنبري، قال حدثني يزيد الفقير، حدثنا جابر بن عبد الله، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان قوما يخرجون من النار يحترقون فيها الا دارات وجوههم حتى يدخلون الجنة

Yazid al-Faqir said:This view of the Khawarij (i.e. those who commit major sins and would be eternally doomed to Hell) had obsessed me, and we set out in a large group intending to perform the Hajj and then going to the people (for the propagation of the views of the Khawarij). He (the narrator) said: We happened to past by Medina and found there Jabir b. 'Abdullah sitting near a column narrating to the people (the ahadith of) the Prophet (ﷺ). When he mentioned the inhabitants of Hell, I said: O companion of the Messenger of Allah what is this that you narrate, whereas Allah says: "Verily whomsoever Thou shall commit to the Fire, Thou indeed humiliateth him" (al-Qur'an, iii. 192); and All those who endeavored to get out of that would be thrown back into it" (al-Qur'an, xxxi i. 20)? So what is it that you say? He said: Have you read the Qur'an? I said: Yes. He said: Have you heard about the (exalted) position of Muhammad (ﷺ), i.e. to which Allah would raise, him? I said: Yes. He said: Verily the position of Muhammad (ﷺ) is that of great glory and that is by which Allah would bring out whomsoever He would wish to bring out. He then described the Path (the Bridge) and the passing of the people over it, and said: I am afraid I may not have remembered (other things) but this much is still in my memory that people would come out of the Hell after having gone into it, and he said: They would come out of it as if they were the wood of the ebony tree. He (the narrator said: They would enter a river, one or the rivers of Paradise, and would bathe in it, and then come out as if they were (white like) paper. We then turned back and said: Woe be upon you! How can this old man tell a lie against the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? We turned back (from the views of the Khawarij), and by God every one of us abandoned this (band of Khawarij) except one man. A similar statement has been made by Abu Nu'aim

وحدثنا حجاج بن الشاعر، حدثنا الفضل بن دكين، حدثنا ابو عاصم، - يعني محمد بن ابي ايوب - قال حدثني يزيد الفقير، قال كنت قد شغفني راى من راى الخوارج فخرجنا في عصابة ذوي عدد نريد ان نحج ثم نخرج على الناس - قال - فمررنا على المدينة فاذا جابر بن عبد الله يحدث القوم - جالس الى سارية - عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال فاذا هو قد ذكر الجهنميين - قال - فقلت له يا صاحب رسول الله ما هذا الذي تحدثون والله يقول { انك من تدخل النار فقد اخزيته} و { كلما ارادوا ان يخرجوا منها اعيدوا فيها} فما هذا الذي تقولون قال فقال اتقرا القران قلت نعم . قال فهل سمعت بمقام محمد - عليه السلام - يعني الذي يبعثه الله فيه قلت نعم . قال فانه مقام محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم المحمود الذي يخرج الله به من يخرج . - قال - ثم نعت وضع الصراط ومر الناس عليه - قال - واخاف ان لا اكون احفظ ذاك - قال - غير انه قد زعم ان قوما يخرجون من النار بعد ان يكونوا فيها - قال - يعني فيخرجون كانهم عيدان السماسم . قال فيدخلون نهرا من انهار الجنة فيغتسلون فيه فيخرجون كانهم القراطيس . فرجعنا قلنا ويحكم اترون الشيخ يكذب على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فرجعنا فلا والله ما خرج منا غير رجل واحد او كما قال ابو نعيم

It is narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Four persons would be brought out from the Fire and would be presented to Allah. One of them would turn (towards the He) ) ) and say: O my Lord, when Thou hast brought me out from it, do not throw me back into it, and Allah would rescue him from it

حدثنا هداب بن خالد الازدي، حدثنا حماد بن سلمة، عن ابي عمران، وثابت، عن انس بن مالك، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " يخرج من النار اربعة فيعرضون على الله فيلتفت احدهم فيقول اى رب اذ اخرجتني منها فلا تعدني فيها . فينجيه الله منها

Anas b Malik reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Allah would gather people on the Day of Resurrection and they would be concerned about it, and Ibn Ubaid said. They would get a Divine inspiration about it, and would say: If we could seek intercession with our Lord, we may be relieved from this predicament of ours. He (the Holy Prophet) said: They would come to Adam andsay, Thou art Adam, the father of mankind. Allah created thee with His own hand and breathed unto thee of His Spirit and commanded the angels and they prostrated before thee. So intercede for us with thy Lords, that He may relieve us from this position of ours. He would say: I am not in a position to do this, and would recall his error, and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that; go to Noah the first messenger (after me) sent by Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So they would come to Noah (peace be upon him). He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and recall his fault which he had committed, and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that, (and would say): You better go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) whom Allah took for a friend. They would come to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and he would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and would recall his fault that he had committed and would, therefore, fight shy of his Lord on that account (and would say): You better go to Moses (peace be upon him) with whom Allah conversed and con- ferred Torah upon him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So they would come to Moses (peace be upon him) He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and would recall his fault that he had committed and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that (and would say): You better go to Jesus, the Spirit of Allah and His word He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you; you better go to Muhammad (ﷺ), a servant whose former and later sins have been forgiven. He (the narrator) said: The Messenger or Allah (ﷺ) observed: So they would come to me and I would ask the permission of my Lord and it would be granted to me, and when I would see Him, I would fall down in prostration, and He (Allah) would leave me thus as long as He would wish, and then it would be said: O Muhammad, raise your head, say and you would be heard; ask and it would be granted; intercede and intercession would be accepted. Then I would raise my head and extrol my Lord with the praise which my Lord would teach me. I shall then inter- cede, but a limit would be set for me I would bring them out from the Fire and make them enter Paradise (according to the limit). I shall return then ard fall down in pros- tration and Allah would leave me (in that position) as long as He would wish to leave me it would be said: Rise, O Muhammad, say and you would be heard; ask and it would be conferred; intercede and intercession would be granted. I would raise my head and extrol my Lord with praise that He would teach me. I would theft intercede and a limit would be set for me. I would bring them out of the Fire (of Hell) and make them enter Paradise. He (the narrator) said: I do not remember whether he (the Holy Prophet) said at tLe third time or at the fourth time: O my Lord, none has been left in the Fire, but thise restrained by the Holy Qur'an, i e. those who were eternally doomed. Ibn Ubaid said in a narration: Qatada observed: whose everlasting stay was imperative

Anas reported:The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The believers would gather on the Day of Resurrection, and they would be concerned about it, or would be made mindful of it (i. e. the trjuble for it), (and the remaining part of the hadith w, ) uld be narrated) like the one transmitted by Abu Uwana, and he said in the hadith: Then I would come for the fourth time, or I would return the fourth time, and would say: O my Lord, no one has been left but he whom the Holy Qur'an has restrained

وحدثنا محمد بن المثنى، ومحمد بن بشار، قالا حدثنا ابن ابي عدي، عن سعيد، عن قتادة، عن انس، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " يجتمع المومنون يوم القيامة فيهتمون بذلك او يلهمون ذلك " . بمثل حديث ابي عوانة وقال في الحديث " ثم اتيه الرابعة - او اعود الرابعة - فاقول يا رب ما بقي الا من حبسه القران

Anas b. Malik reported:The Prophet of Allah (may peace be, upon him) said: Allah will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection and they would be made mindful of it; and the rest (of the hadith) is like the one narrated above; and then he mentioned the fourth time: And I (the Holy Prophet) would say: O my Lord, no one is left in the Fire except he whom the Qur'an has restrained, i e. eternally doomed

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا معاذ بن هشام، قال حدثني ابي، عن قتادة، عن انس بن مالك، ان نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " يجمع الله المومنين يوم القيامة فيلهمون لذلك " بمثل حديثهما وذكر في الرابعة " فاقول يا رب ما بقي في النار الا من حبسه القران اى وجب عليه الخلود
