Asma' reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said:There is none more self-respecting than Allah, the Exalted and Glorious

وحدثنا محمد بن ابي بكر المقدمي، حدثنا بشر بن المفضل، عن هشام، عن يحيى، بن ابي كثير عن ابي سلمة، عن عروة، عن اسماء، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم انه قال " لا شىء اغير من الله عز وجل

Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported that a person kissed a woman and he came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and made a mention of that to him. It was (on this occasion) that this verse was revealed:" And observe prayer at the (two) ends of the day and in the first hours of the night. Surely, good deeds take away evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful" (xi. 115). That person said: Allah's Messenger, does it concern me only? He (the Holy Prophet) said: It concerns every one of my Unimah, who acts according to it

حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد، وابو كامل فضيل بن حسين الجحدري كلاهما عن يزيد، بن زريع - واللفظ لابي كامل - حدثنا يزيد، حدثنا التيمي، عن ابي عثمان، عن عبد الله، بن مسعود ان رجلا، اصاب من امراة قبلة فاتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر له ذلك - قال - فنزلت { اقم الصلاة طرفى النهار وزلفا من الليل ان الحسنات يذهبن السييات ذلك ذكرى للذاكرين} قال فقال الرجل الي هذه يا رسول الله قال " لمن عمل بها من امتي

Abdullah reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said:Allah's Messenger, I sported with a woman in the outskirts of Medina, and I have committed an offence short of fornication. Here I am (before you), kindly deliver verdict about me which you deem fit. Unar said: Allah concealed your fault. You had better conceal it yourself also. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), however, gave no reply to him. The man stood up and went away and Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) sent a person after him to call him and be recited this verse:" And observe prayer at the ends of the day and in the first hours of the night. Surely, good deeds take away evil deeds. That is a reminder for the mindful" (xi. 115). A person amongst the people said: Allah's Apostle, does it concern this marn only? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: No, but the people at large

حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى، وقتيبة بن سعيد، وابو بكر بن ابي شيبة - واللفظ ليحيى - قال يحيى اخبرنا وقال الاخران، حدثنا ابو الاحوص، عن سماك، عن ابراهيم، عن علقمة، والاسود، عن عبد الله، قال جاء رجل الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله اني عالجت امراة في اقصى المدينة واني اصبت منها ما دون ان امسها فانا هذا فاقض في ما شيت . فقال له عمر لقد سترك الله لو سترت نفسك - قال - فلم يرد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم شييا فقام الرجل فانطلق فاتبعه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رجلا دعاه وتلا عليه هذه الاية { اقم الصلاة طرفى النهار وزلفا من الليل ان الحسنات يذهبن السييات ذلك ذكرى للذاكرين} فقال رجل من القوم يا نبي الله هذا له خاصة قال " بل للناس كافة

This hadith has been transmitted by Abu al-Ahwas and in this (these words are) also found:Mu'adh said: Allah's Messenger, does it concern this particular case or to all of us? And he (the Holy Prophet) said: Of course, to all of you

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، حدثنا ابو النعمان الحكم بن عبد الله العجلي، حدثنا شعبة، عن سماك بن حرب، قال سمعت ابراهيم، يحدث عن خاله الاسود، عن عبد الله، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بمعنى حديث ابي الاحوص وقال في حديثه فقال معاذ يا رسول الله هذا لهذا خاصة او لنا عامة قال " بل لكم عامة

Ibn Mas'ud reported that a person came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and told him that he had kissed a woman or touched her with his hand or did something like this. He inquired of him about its expiation. It was (on this occasion) that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, revealed this verse (as mentioned above)

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الاعلى، حدثنا المعتمر، عن ابيه، حدثنا ابو عثمان، عن ابن، مسعود ان رجلا، اتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر انه اصاب من امراة اما قبلة او مسا بيد او شييا كانه يسال عن كفارتها - قال - فانزل الله عز وجل . ثم ذكر بمثل حديث يزيد

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sulaiman Taimi with the same chain of transmitters that a person had taken liberty with a woman less than fomication. He came to 'Umar b. Khattab and he took it to be a serious offence. Then he came to Abu Bakr and he also took it to be a serious offence. Then he came the Allahs Apostle (ﷺ) and he made a mention of this to him. The rest of the hadith is the same

حدثنا عثمان بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا جرير، عن سليمان التيمي، بهذا الاسناد قال اصاب رجل من امراة شييا دون الفاحشة فاتى عمر بن الخطاب فعظم عليه ثم اتى ابا بكر فعظم عليه ثم اتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر بمثل حديث يزيد والمعتمر

Anas reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said:Allah's Messenger, I have committed an offence which deserves imposition of haad, so impose it upon me according to the Book of Allah. Thereupon he said: Were you not present with us at the time of prayer? He said: Yes. Thereupon he said: You have been granted pardon

حدثنا الحسن بن علي الحلواني، حدثنا عمرو بن عاصم، حدثنا همام، عن اسحاق، بن عبد الله بن ابي طلحة عن انس، قال جاء رجل الى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله اصبت حدا فاقمه على - قال - وحضرت الصلاة فصلى مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما قضى الصلاة قال يا رسول الله اني اصبت حدا فاقم في كتاب الله . قال " هل حضرت الصلاة معنا " . قال نعم . قال " قد غفر لك

Abu Umama reported:We were sitting in the mosque in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). A person came there and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed an offence which deserves the imposition of hadd upon me, so impose it upon me. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) kept silent. He repeated it and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed an offence which deserves the imposition of hadd upon me, so impose it upon me. He (the Holy Prophet) kept silent, and it was at this time that Iqama was pronounced for prayer (and the prayer was observed). And when Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) had concluded the payer that person followed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Abu Umama said: I too followed Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) after he had concluded the prayer, so that I should know what answer he would give to that person. That person remained attached to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: Allah's Messenger, I have committed an offence which deserves imposition of hadd upon me, so impose it upon me. Abu Umama reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Didn't you see that as you got out of the house, you performed ablution perfectly well. He said: Allah's Messenger, of course. I did it. He again said to him: Then you observed prayer along with us. He said: Allah's Messenger, yes, it is so. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Verily, Allah has exempted you from the imposition of hadd, or he said. From your sin

حدثنا نصر بن علي الجهضمي، وزهير بن حرب، - واللفظ لزهير - قالا حدثنا عمر بن يونس، حدثنا عكرمة بن عمار، حدثنا شداد، حدثنا ابو امامة، قال بينما رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في المسجد ونحن قعود معه اذ جاء رجل فقال يا رسول الله اني اصبت حدا فاقمه على . فسكت عنه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم اعاد فقال يا رسول الله اني اصبت حدا فاقمه على . فسكت عنه واقيمت الصلاة فلما انصرف نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال ابو امامة فاتبع الرجل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين انصرف واتبعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم انظر ما يرد على الرجل فلحق الرجل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله اني اصبت حدا فاقمه على - قال ابو امامة - فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ارايت حين خرجت من بيتك اليس قد توضات فاحسنت الوضوء " . قال بلى يا رسول الله . قال " ثم شهدت الصلاة معنا " . فقال نعم يا رسول الله . قال فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " فان الله قد غفر لك حدك - او قال - ذنبك

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:There was a person before you who had killed ninety-nine persons and then made an inquiry about the learned persons of the world (who could show him the way to salvation). He was directed to a monk. He came to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted. He said: No. He killed him also and thus completed one hundred. He then asked about the learned persons of the earth and he was directed to a scholar, and he told him that he had killed one hundred persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted. He said: Yes; what stands between you and the repentance? You better go to such and such land; there are people devoted to prayer and worship and you also worship along with them and do not come to the land of yours since it was an evil land (for you). So he went away and he had hardly covered half the distance when death came to him and there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment. The angels of mercy said: This man has come as a penitant and remorseful to Allah and the angels of punishment said: He has done no good at all. Then there came another angel in the form of a human being in order to decide between them. He said: You measure the land to which he has drawn near. They measured it and found him nearer to the land where he intended to go (the land of piety), and so the angels of mercy took possession of it. Qatada said that Hasan told him that it was said to them that as death approached him, he crawled upon his chest (and managed) to slip in the land of mercy

حدثنا محمد بن المثنى، ومحمد بن بشار، - واللفظ لابن المثنى - قال حدثنا معاذ بن هشام، حدثني ابي، عن قتادة، عن ابي الصديق، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، ان نبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " كان فيمن كان قبلكم رجل قتل تسعة وتسعين نفسا فسال عن اعلم اهل الارض فدل على راهب فاتاه فقال انه قتل تسعة وتسعين نفسا فهل له من توبة فقال لا . فقتله فكمل به ماية ثم سال عن اعلم اهل الارض فدل على رجل عالم فقال انه قتل ماية نفس فهل له من توبة فقال نعم ومن يحول بينه وبين التوبة انطلق الى ارض كذا وكذا فان بها اناسا يعبدون الله فاعبد الله معهم ولا ترجع الى ارضك فانها ارض سوء . فانطلق حتى اذا نصف الطريق اتاه الموت فاختصمت فيه ملايكة الرحمة وملايكة العذاب فقالت ملايكة الرحمة جاء تايبا مقبلا بقلبه الى الله . وقالت ملايكة العذاب انه لم يعمل خيرا قط . فاتاهم ملك في صورة ادمي فجعلوه بينهم فقال قيسوا ما بين الارضين فالى ايتهما كان ادنى فهو له . فقاسوه فوجدوه ادنى الى الارض التي اراد فقبضته ملايكة الرحمة " . قال قتادة فقال الحسن ذكر لنا انه لما اتاه الموت ناى بصدره

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying that a man killed ninety-nine persons and then he began to make an inquiry whether there was any way left for him for repentance. He came to a monk and asked him about that, and he said:There is no chance for repentance for you. He killed the monk also and then began to make an inquiry and moved from one village to another village where there lived pious persons, and as he had covered some distance, he was overtaken by death, but he managed to crawl upon his chest (to the side nearer to the place where the pious men lived). He died and then there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment and (when it was measured) he was found to be nearer to the village where pious persons were living equal to the Space of a span and he was thus included among them

حدثني عبيد الله بن معاذ العنبري، حدثنا ابي، حدثنا شعبة، عن قتادة، انه سمع ابا الصديق الناجي، عن ابي سعيد الخدري، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " ان رجلا قتل تسعة وتسعين نفسا فجعل يسال هل له من توبة فاتى راهبا فساله فقال ليست لك توبة . فقتل الراهب ثم جعل يسال ثم خرج من قرية الى قرية فيها قوم صالحون فلما كان في بعض الطريق ادركه الموت فناى بصدره ثم مات فاختصمت فيه ملايكة الرحمة وملايكة العذاب فكان الى القرية الصالحة اقرب منها بشبر فجعل من اهلها

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Qatida with the same chain of transmitters but (with this variation of wording):" Allah commanded the earth (from where) he wanted to come out to move itself away and to the other earth (where he wanted to go) to draw nearer

حدثنا محمد بن بشار، حدثنا ابن ابي عدي، حدثنا شعبة، عن قتادة، بهذا الاسناد نحو حديث معاذ بن معاذ وزاد فيه " فاوحى الله الى هذه ان تباعدي والى هذه ان تقربي

Abu Musa' reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:When it will be the Day of Resurrection Allah would deliver to every Muslim a Jew or a Christian and say: That is your rescue from Hell-Fire

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا ابو اسامة، عن طلحة بن يحيى، عن ابي، بردة عن ابي موسى، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " اذا كان يوم القيامة دفع الله عز وجل الى كل مسلم يهوديا او نصرانيا فيقول هذا فكاكك من النار

Abu Burda reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said:No Muslim would die but Allah would admit in his stead a Jew or a Christian in Hell-Fire. 'Umar b. Abd al-'Aziz took an oath: By One besides Whom there is no god but He, thrice that his father had narrated that to him from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)

حدثنا ابو بكر بن ابي شيبة، حدثنا عفان بن مسلم، حدثنا همام، حدثنا قتادة، ان عونا، وسعيد بن ابي بردة، حدثاه انهما، شهدا ابا بردة يحدث عمر بن عبد العزيز عن ابيه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " لا يموت رجل مسلم الا ادخل الله مكانه النار يهوديا او نصرانيا " . قال فاستحلفه عمر بن عبد العزيز بالله الذي لا اله الا هو ثلاث مرات ان اباه حدثه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال فحلف له - قال - فلم يحدثني سعيد انه استحلفه ولم ينكر على عون قوله

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of 'Aun b. Utba

حدثنا اسحاق بن ابراهيم، ومحمد بن المثنى، جميعا عن عبد الصمد بن عبد، الوارث اخبرنا همام، حدثنا قتادة، بهذا الاسناد نحو حديث عفان وقال عون بن عتبة

Abu Burda reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:There would come people amongst the Muslims on the Day of Resurrection with as heavy sins as a mountain, and Allah would forgive them and He would place in their stead the Jews and the Christians. (As far as I think), Abu Raub said: I do not know as to who is in doubt. Abu Burda said: I narrated it to 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz, whereupon he said: Was it your father who narrated it to you from Allah's Apostle (ﷺ)? I said: Yes

حدثنا محمد بن عمرو بن عباد بن جبلة بن ابي رواد، حدثنا حرمي بن عمارة، حدثنا شداد ابو طلحة الراسبي، عن غيلان بن جرير، عن ابي بردة، عن ابيه، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " يجيء يوم القيامة ناس من المسلمين بذنوب امثال الجبال فيغفرها الله لهم ويضعها على اليهود والنصارى " . فيما احسب انا . قال ابو روح لا ادري ممن الشك . قال ابو بردة فحدثت به عمر بن عبد العزيز فقال ابوك حدثك هذا عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قلت نعم

Safwan b. Muhriz reported that a person said to Ibn 'Umar:How did you hear Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying something about intimate conversation? He said: I heard him say: A believer will be brought to his Lord, the Exalted and Glorious, on the Day of Resurrection and He would place upon him His veil (of Light) and make him confess his faults and say: Do you recognise (your faults)? He would say: My Lord, I do recognise (them). He (the Lord) would say: I concealed them for you in the world. And today I forgive them. And he would then be given the Book containing (the account of his) good deeds. And so far as the non-believers and hypocrites are concerned, there would be general announcement about them before all creation telling them that these (people, i. e. non-believers and hypocrites) told a lie about Allah

حدثنا زهير بن حرب، حدثنا اسماعيل بن ابراهيم، عن هشام الدستوايي، عن قتادة، عن صفوان بن محرز، قال قال رجل لابن عمر كيف سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول في النجوى قال سمعته يقول " يدنى المومن يوم القيامة من ربه عز وجل حتى يضع عليه كنفه فيقرره بذنوبه فيقول هل تعرف فيقول اى رب اعرف . قال فاني قد سترتها عليك في الدنيا واني اغفرها لك اليوم . فيعطى صحيفة حسناته واما الكفار والمنافقون فينادى بهم على رءوس الخلايق هولاء الذين كذبوا على الله

It is reported on the authority of Abdullah b. K'ab and he was the guide of Ka'b as he lost his eyesight and he was the greatest scholar amongst his people and he retained in his mind many ahadith of the Companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). He said:I heard my father Ka'b b. Malik, and he fas one of those three whose repentance was accepted (by Allah). He transmitted that He never lagged behind Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from any expedition that he undertook except two expeditions; the rest of the hadith is the same, and in the tradition narrated through another chain of transmitters the words are:" That Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) set out on an expedition with a large number of persons more than ten thousand and this could not be recorded in the census register
