Narated By Said bin Al-Musaiyab : From his father: When the time of the death of Abu Talib approached, Allah's
Apostle went to him and found Abu Jahl bin Hisham and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira by his side. Allah's
Apostle said to Abu Talib, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, a sentence with which I
shall be a witness (i.e. argue) for you before Allah. Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said, "O Abu Talib! Are
you going to denounce the religion of Abdul Muttalib?" Allah's Apostle kept on inviting Abu Talib to say it (i.e. 'None
has the right to be worshipped but Allah') while they (Abu Jahl and Abdullah) kept on repeating their statement till
Abu Talib said as his last statement that he was on the religion of Abdul Muttalib and refused to say, 'None has the
right to be worshipped but Allah.' (Then Allah's Apostle said, "I will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness for you unless
I am forbidden (by Allah) to do so." So Allah revealed (the verse) concerning him (i.e. It is not fitting for the Prophet

assigned for him and it is also determined for him whether he will be among the blessed or wretched." A man said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Should we not depend on what has been written for us and leave the deeds as whoever
amongst us is blessed will do the deeds of a blessed person and whoever amongst us will be wretched, will do the
deeds of a wretched person?" The Prophet said, "The good deeds are made easy for the blessed, and bad deeds
are made easy for the wretched." Then he recited the Verses: "As for him who gives (in charity) and is Allah-fearing
And believes in the Best reward from Allah. " (92.5-6)

Apostle! Are you going to pray for Ibn Ubai and he said so and so on such and such occasions?" And started
mentioning all that he had said. Allah's Apostle smiled and said, "O 'Umar! Go away from me." When I talked too

be forgiven by asking for Allah's forgiveness for more than seventy times, surely I would have done so." ('Umar

-----------------------------------------
Narated By Samura bin Jundab : Whenever the Prophet finished the (morning) prayer, he would face us and ask,
"Who amongst you had a dream last night?" So if anyone had seen a dream he would narrate it. The Prophet would
say: "Ma sha'a-llah" (An Arabic maxim meaning literally, 'What Allah wished,' and it indicates a good omen.) One
day, he asked us whether anyone of us had seen a dream. We replied in the negative. The Prophet said, "But I had
seen (a dream) last night that two men came to me, caught hold of my hands, and took me to the Sacred Land
(Jerusalem). There, I saw a person sitting and another standing with an iron hook in his hand pushing it inside the
mouth of the former till it reached the jaw-bone, and then tore off one side of his cheek, and then did the same with
the other side; in the mean-time the first side of his cheek became normal again and then he repeated the same
operation again. I said, 'What is this?' They told me to proceed on and we went on till we came to a man Lying flat
on his back, and another man standing at his head carrying a stone or a piece of rock, and crushing the head of
the Lying man, with that stone. Whenever he struck him, the stone rolled away.

The man went to pick it up and by the time he returned to him, the crushed head had returned to its normal state
and the man came back and struck him again (and so on). I said, 'Who is this?' They told me to proceed on; so we
proceeded on and passed by a hole like an oven; with a narrow top and wide bottom, and the fire was kindling
underneath that hole. Whenever the fire-flame went up, the people were lifted up to such an extent that they about
to get out of it, and whenever the fire got quieter, the people went down into it, and there were naked men and
women in it. I said, 'Who is this?' They told me to proceed on. So we proceeded on till we reached a river of blood
and a man was in it, and another man was standing at its bank with stones in front of him, facing the man standing
in the river. Whenever the man in the river wanted to come out, the other one threw a stone in his mouth and
caused him to retreat to his original position; and so whenever he wanted to come out the other would throw a
stone in his mouth, and he would retreat to his original position. I asked, 'What is this?' They told me to proceed on
and we did so till we reached a well-flourished green garden having a huge tree and near its root was sitting an old
man with some children. (I saw) Another man near the tree with fire in front of him and he was kindling it up. Then
they (i.e. my two companions) made me climb up the tree and made me enter a house, better than which I have
ever seen. In it were some old men and young men, women and children.

Then they took me out of this house and made me climb up the tree and made me enter another house that was
better and superior (to the first) containing old and young people. I said to them (i.e. my two companions), 'You
have made me ramble all the night. Tell me all about that I have seen.' They said, 'Yes. As for the one whose cheek
you saw being torn away, he was a liar and he used to tell lies, and the people would report those lies on his
authority till they spread all over the world. So, he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection.

The one whose head you saw being crushed is the one whom Allah had given the knowledge of Qur'an (i.e.
knowing it by heart) but he used to sleep at night (i.e. he did not recite it then) and did not use to act upon it (i.e.
upon its orders etc.) by day; and so this punishment will go on till the Day of Resurrection. And those you saw in the
hole (like oven) were adulterers (those men and women who commit illegal sexual intercourse). And those you saw
in the river of blood were those dealing in Riba (usury). And the old man who was sitting at the base of the tree was
Abraham and the little children around him were the offspring of the people. And the one who was kindling the fire
was Malik, the gate-keeper of the Hell-fire. And the first house in which you have gone was the house of the
common believers, and the second house was of the martyrs. I am Gabriel and this is Michael. Raise your head.' I
raised my head and saw a thing like a cloud over me. They said, 'That is your place.' I said, 'Let me enter my place.'
They said, 'You still have some life which you have not yet completed, and when you complete (that remaining
portion of your life) you will then enter your place.'"

die?' She replied, 'He died on Monday.' He asked, 'What is today?' She replied, 'Today is Monday.' He added, 'I
hope I shall die sometime between this morning and tonight.' Then he looked at a garment that he was wearing
during his illness and it had some stains of saffron. Then he said, 'Wash this garment of mine and add two more
garments and shroud me in them.' I said, 'This is worn out.' He said, 'A living person has more right to wear new
clothes than a dead one; the shroud is only for the body's pus.' He did not die till it was the night of Tuesday and
was buried before the morning."

foot of the Prophet but it is the foot of Umar." 'Aisha narrated that she made a will to 'Abdullah bin Zubair, "Do not
bury me with them (the Prophet and his two companions) but bury me with my companions (wives of the Prophet

request her to allow me to be buried with my companions." (So, Ibn 'Umar conveyed the message to 'Aisha.) She
said, "I had the idea of having this place for myself but today I prefer him ('Umar) to myself (and allow him to be
buried there)." When 'Abdullah bin 'Umar returned, 'Umar asked him, "What (news) do you have?" He replied, "O
chief of the believers! She has allowed you (to be buried there)." On that 'Umar said, "Nothing was more important
to me than to be buried in that (sacred) place. So, when I expire, carry me there and pay my greetings to her
('Aisha) and say, 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asks permission; and if she gives permission, then bury me (there) and if she
does not, then take me to the grave-yard of the Muslims. I do not think any person has more right for the caliphate
than those with whom Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) was always pleased till his death. And whoever is chosen by the
people after me will be the caliph, and you people must listen to him and obey him," and then he mentioned the
name of 'Uthman, 'Ali, Talha, Az-Zubair, 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and Sad bin Abi Waqqas.

By this time a young man from Ansar came and said, "O chief of the believers! Be happy with Allah's glad tidings.
The grade which you have in Islam is known to you, then you became the caliph and you ruled with justice and then
you have been awarded martyrdom after all this." 'Umar replied, "O son of my brother! Would that all that privileges
will counterbalance (my short comings), so that I neither lose nor gain anything. I recommend my successor to be
good to the early emigrants and realize their rights and to protect their honour and sacred things. And I also
recommend him to be good to the Ansar who before them, had homes (in Medina) and had adopted the Faith. He
should accept the good of the righteous among them and should excuse their wrongdoers. I recommend him to
abide by the rules and regulations concerning the Dhimmis (protectees) of Allah and His Apostle, to fulfil their
contracts completely and fight for them and not to tax (overburden) them beyond their capabilities."

"None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and whoever said it then he will save his life and property from me
except on trespassing the law (rights and conditions for which he will be punished justly), and his accounts will be

is the compulsory right to be taken from the property (according to Allah's orders) By Allah! If they refuse to pay me
even a she-kid which they used to pay at the time of Allah's Apostle. I would fight with them for withholding it" Then
'Umar said, "By Allah, it was nothing, but Allah opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision (to fight) and I came
