-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Huraira : The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him,
He said to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation)
and the greeting (salutations of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be
upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi" (i.e. Peace and Allah's Mercy be upon you).
Thus the angels added to Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who will enter
Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam's
creation.

Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "The first group of people who will enter Paradise, will be glittering
like the full moon and those who will follow them, will glitter like the most brilliant star in the sky. They will not urinate,
relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat will smell like musk.
The aloes-wood will be used in their centers. Their wives will be houris. All of them will look alike and will resemble
their father Adam (in statute), sixty cubits tall."

Narated By Abu Salama : Um Salama said, "Um Salaim said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Allah does not refrain from saying
the truth! Is it obligatory for a woman to take a bath after she gets nocturnal discharge?' He said, 'Yes, if she
notices the water (i.e. discharge).' Um Salama smiled and said, 'Does a woman get discharge?' Allah's Apostle said.
'Then why does a child resemble (its mother)?"


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 546.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Anas : When 'Abdullah bin Salam heard the arrival of the Prophet at Medina, he came to him and said,
"I am going to ask you about three things which nobody knows except a prophet: What is the first portent of the
Hour? What will be the first meal taken by the people of Paradise? Why does a child resemble its father, and why
does it resemble its maternal uncle" Allah's Apostle said, "Gabriel has just now told me of their answers." 'Abdullah
said, "He (i.e. Gabriel), from amongst all the angels, is the enemy of the Jews." Allah's Apostle said, "The first
portent of the Hour will be a fire that will bring together the people from the east to the west; the first meal of the
people of Paradise will be Extra-lobe (caudate lobe) of fish-liver. As for the resemblance of the child to its parents: If
a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if the
woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her." On that 'Abdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that you are the
Apostle of Allah." 'Abdullah bin Salam further said, "O Allah's Apostle! The Jews are liars, and if they should come
to know about my conversion to Islam before you ask them (about me), they would tell a lie about me." The Jews
came to Allah's Apostle and 'Abdullah went inside the house. Allah's Apostle asked (the Jews), "What kind of man is
'Abdullah bin Salam amongst you?" They replied, "He is the most learned person amongst us, and the best
amongst us, and the son of the best amongst us." Allah's Apostle said, "What do you think if he embraces Islam (will
you do as he does)?" The Jews said, "May Allah save him from it." Then 'Abdullah bin Salam came out in front of
them saying, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of
Allah." Thereupon they said, "He is the evilest among us, and the son of the evilest amongst us," and continued
talking badly of him.

Narated By Abu Huraira : The Prophet said, "But for the Israelis, meat would not decay and but for Eve, wives would
never betray their husbands."


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 548.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah 's Apostle said, "Treat women nicely, for a women is created from a rib, and the most
curved portion of the rib is its upper portion, so, if you should try to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it
is, it will remain crooked. So treat women nicely."


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 549.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abdullah : Allah's Apostle, the true and truly inspired said, "(as regards your creation), every one of you
is collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days, and then he becomes a clot for an other forty days,
and then a piece of flesh for an other forty days. Then Allah sends an angel to write four words: He writes his
deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood, and whether he will be wretched or blessed (in religion). Then the
soul is breathed into his body. So a man may do deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire, so much so
that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel)
surpasses, and so he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise. Similarly, a
person may do deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit
between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and he starts doing deeds of the
people of the (Hell) Fire and enters the (Hell) Fire."


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 550.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Anas bin Malik : The Prophet said, "Allah has appointed an angel in the womb, and the angel says, 'O
Lord! A drop of discharge (i.e. of semen), O Lord! a clot, O Lord! a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allah wishes to
complete the child's creation, the angel will say. 'O Lord! A male or a female? O Lord! wretched or blessed (in
religion)? What will his livelihood be? What will his age be?' The angel writes all this while the child is in the womb of
its mother."


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 551.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Anas : The Prophet said, "Allah will say to that person of the (Hell) Fire who will receive the least
punishment, 'If you had everything on the earth, would you give it as a ransom to free yourself (i.e. save yourself
from this Fire)?' He will say, 'Yes.' Then Allah will say, 'While you were in the backbone of Adam, I asked you much
less than this, i.e. not to worship others besides Me, but you insisted on worshipping others besides me.'"


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 552.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abdullah : Allah's Apostle said, "Whenever a person is murdered unjustly, there is a share from the
burden of the crime on the first son of Adam for he was the first to start the tradition of murdering."


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 553.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Ibn Umar : Once Allah's Apostle stood amongst the people, glorified and praised Allah as He deserved
and then mentioned the Dajjal saying, "l warn you against him (i.e. the Dajjal) and there was no prophet but warned
his nation against him. No doubt, Noah warned his nation against him but I tell you about him something of which no
prophet told his nation before me. You should know that he is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed."


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 554.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "Shall I not tell you about the Dajjal a story of which no prophet told
his nation? The Dajjall is one-eyed and will bring with him what will resemble Hell and Paradise, and what he will call
Paradise will be actually Hell; so I warn you (against him) as Noah warned his nation against him."


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 555.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Said : Allah's Apostle said, "Noah and his nation will come (on the Day of Resurrection and Allah
will ask (Noah), "Did you convey (the Message)?' He will reply, 'Yes, O my Lord!' Then Allah will ask Noah's nation,
'Did Noah convey My Message to you?' They will reply, 'No, no prophet came to us.' Then Allah will ask Noah, 'Who
will stand a witness for you?' He will reply, 'Muhammad and his followers (will stand witness for me).' So, I and my
followers will stand as witnesses for him (that he conveyed Allah's Message)." That is, (the interpretation) of the
Statement of Allah: "Thus we have made you a just and the best nation that you might be witnesses Over
mankind..." (2.143)


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 556.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Huraira : We were in the company of the Prophet at a banquet and a cooked (mutton) forearm was
set before him, and he used to like it. He ate a morsel of it and said, "I will be the chief of all the people on the Day
of Resurrection. Do you know how Allah will gather all the first and the last (people) in one level place where an
observer will be able to see (all) of them and they will be able to hear the announcer, and the sun will come near to
them. Some People will say: Don't you see, in what condition you are and the state to which you have reached?
Why don't you look for a person who can intercede for you with your Lord? Some people will say: Appeal to your
father, Adam.' They will go to him and say: 'O Adam! You are the father of all mankind, and Allah created you with
His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate for you, and made you live in Paradise. Will you not intercede
for us with your Lord? Don't you see in what (miserable) state we are, and to what condition we have reached?' On
that Adam will reply, 'My Lord is so angry as He has never been before and will never be in the future; (besides), He
forbade me (to eat from) the tree, but I disobeyed (Him), (I am worried about) myself! Myself! Go to somebody else;
go to Noah.' They will go to Noah and say; 'O Noah! You are the first amongst the messengers of Allah to the
people of the earth, and Allah named you a thankful slave. Don't you see in what a (miserable) state we are and to
what condition we have reached? Will you not intercede for us with your Lord? Noah will reply: 'Today my Lord has
become so angry as he had never been before and will never be in the future Myself! Myself! Go to the Prophet
(Muhammad). The people will come to me, and I will prostrate myself underneath Allah's Throne. Then I will be
addressed: 'O Muhammad! Raise your head; intercede, for your intercession will be accepted, and ask (for
anything). for you will be given."

Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 558.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Ibn 'Abbas : The Prophet said, "I have been made victorious with As-Saba (i.e. an easterly wind) and
the people of 'Ad were destroyed by Ad-Dabur (i.e. a westerly wind)." Narrated Abu Said: Ali sent a piece of gold to
the Prophet who distributed it among four persons: Al-Aqra' bin Habis Al-Hanzali from the tribe of Mujashi, 'Uyaina
bin Badr Al-Fazari, Zaid At-Ta'i who belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Nahban, and 'Alqama bin Ulatha Al-'Amir who
belonged to (the tribe of) Bani Kilab. So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry and said, "He (i.e. the Prophet)
gives the chief of Najd and does not give us." The Prophet said, "I give them) so as to attract their hearts (to
Islam)." Then a man with sunken eyes, prominent checks, a raised forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head,
came (in front of the Prophet) and said, "Be afraid of Allah, O Muhammad!" The Prophet ' said "Who would obey
Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allah has trusted all the people of the earth to me while, you do not trust
me?" Somebody who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walid, requested the Prophet to let him chop that man's head off, but
he prevented him. When the man left, the Prophet said, "Among the off-spring of this man will be some who will
recite the Qur'an but the Qur'an will not reach beyond their throats (i.e. they will recite like parrots and will not
understand it nor act on it), and they will renegade from the religion as an arrow goes through the game's body.
They will kill the Muslims but will not disturb the idolaters. If I should live up to their time' I will kill them as the people
of 'Ad were killed (i.e. I will kill all of them)."

will say: 'O Allah! How many are the people of the Fire?' Allah will reply: 'From every one thousand, take out
nine-hundred-and ninety-nine.' At that time children will become hoary headed, every pregnant female will have a
miscarriage, and one will see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but dreadful will be the Wrath of
Allah." The companions of the Prophet asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Who is that (excepted) one?" He said, "Rejoice
with glad tidings; one person will be from you and one-thousand will be from Gog and Magog."

The Prophet further said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, hope that you will be one-fourth of the people of
Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He added, "I hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise." We
shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He said, "I hope that you will be half of the people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu
Akbar!" He further said, "You (Muslims) (compared with non Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin of a white ox or

Abraham, and some of my companions will be taken towards the left side (i.e. to the (Hell) Fire), and I will say: 'My

Narated By Abu Huraira : Abraham did not tell a lie except on three occasion. Twice for the Sake of Allah when he
said, "I am sick," and he said, "(I have not done this but) the big idol has done it." The (third was) that while
Abraham and Sarah (his wife) were going (on a journey) they passed by (the territory of) a tyrant. Someone said to
the tyrant, "This man (i.e. Abraham) is accompanied by a very charming lady." So, he sent for Abraham and asked
him about Sarah saying, "Who is this lady?" Abraham said, "She is my sister." Abraham went to Sarah and said, "O
Sarah! There are no believers on the surface of the earth except you and I. This man asked me about you and I
have told him that you are my sister, so don't contradict my statement." The tyrant then called Sarah and when she
went to him, he tried to take hold of her with his hand, but (his hand got stiff and) he was confounded. He asked
Sarah. "Pray to Allah for me, and I shall not harm you." So Sarah asked Allah to cure him and he got cured. He tried
to take hold of her for the second time, but (his hand got as stiff as or stiffer than before and) was more
confounded. He again requested Sarah, "Pray to Allah for me, and I will not harm you." Sarah asked Allah again
and he became alright. He then called one of his guards (who had brought her) and said, "You have not brought
me a human being but have brought me a devil." The tyrant then gave Hajar as a girl-servant to Sarah. Sarah came
back (to Abraham) while he was praying. Abraham, gesturing with his hand, asked, "What has happened?" She
replied, "Allah has spoiled the evil plot of the infidel (or immoral person) and gave me Hajar for service." (Abu
Huraira then addressed his listeners saying, "That (Hajar) was your mother, O Bani Ma-is-Sama (i.e. the Arabs, the
descendants of Ishmael, Hajar's son)."

has not done wrong to himself?" He replied, "It is not as you say, for 'wrong' in the Verse and 'do not confuse their
belief, with wrong means 'SHIRK' (i.e. joining others in worship with Allah). Haven't you heard Luqman's saying to his

Narated By Ibn 'Abbas : The Prophet said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on the mother of Ishmael! Had she not
hastened (to fill her water-skin with water from the Zam-zam well). Zam-zam would have been a stream flowing on
the surface of the earth." Ibn 'Abbas further added, "(The Prophet) Abraham brought Ishmael and his mother (to
Mecca) and she was suckling Ishmael and she had a water-skin with her.'


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 583.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Ibn Abbas : The first lady to use a girdle was the mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that she might
hide her tracks from Sarah. Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael while she was suckling him, to a place near
the Ka'ba under a tree on the spot of Zam-Zam, at the highest place in the mosque. During those days there was
nobody in Mecca, nor was there any water So he made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag
containing some dates, and a small water-skin containing some water, and set out homeward. Ishmael's mother
followed him saying, "O Abraham! Where are you going, leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose
company we may enjoy, nor is there anything (to enjoy)?" She repeated that to him many times, but he did not look
back at her Then she asked him, "Has Allah ordered you to do so?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Then He will not
neglect us," and returned while Abraham proceeded onwards, and on reaching the Thaniya where they could not
see him, he faced the Ka'ba, and raising both hands, invoked Allah saying the following prayers:

'O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Your Sacred House (Kaba at
Mecca) in order, O our Lord, that they may offer prayer perfectly. So fill some hearts among men with love towards
them, and (O Allah) provide them with fruits, so that they may give thanks.' (14.37) Ishmael's mother went on
suckling Ishmael and drinking from the water (she had).

When the water in the water-skin had all been used up, she became thirsty and her child also became thirsty. She
started looking at him (i.e. Ishmael) tossing in agony; She left him, for she could not endure looking at him, and
found that the mountain of Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land. She stood on it and started looking
at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody, but she could not see anybody. Then she descended from
Safa and when she reached the valley, she tucked up her robe and ran in the valley like a person in distress and
trouble, till she crossed the valley and reached the Marwa mountain where she stood and started looking, expecting
to see somebody, but she could not see anybody. She repeated that (running between Safa and Marwa) seven
times."

The Prophet said, "This is the source of the tradition of the walking of people between them (i.e. Safa and Marwa).
When she reached the Marwa (for the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened
attentively. She heard the voice again and said, 'O, (whoever you may be)! You have made me hear your voice;
have you got something to help me?" And behold! She saw an angel at the place of Zam-Zam, digging the earth
with his heel (or his wing), till water flowed from that place. She started to make something like a basin around it,
using her hand in this way, and started filling her water-skin with water with her hands, and the water was flowing
out after she had scooped some of it."

The Prophet added, "May Allah bestow Mercy on Ishmael's mother! Had she let the Zam-Zam (flow without trying to
control it) (or had she not scooped from that water) (to fill her water-skin), Zam-Zam would have been a stream
flowing on the surface of the earth." The Prophet further added, "Then she drank (water) and suckled her child.
The angel said to her, 'Don't be afraid of being neglected, for this is the House of Allah which will be built by this boy
and his father, and Allah never neglects His people.' The House (i.e. Kaba) at that time was on a high place
resembling a hillock, and when torrents came, they flowed to its right and left. She lived in that way till some people
from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum passed by her and her child, as they (i.e. the Jurhum people) were
coming through the way of Kada'. They landed in the lower part of Mecca where they saw a bird that had the habit
of flying around water and not leaving it. They said, 'This bird must be flying around water, though we know that
there is no water in this valley.' They sent one or two messengers who discovered the source of water, and
returned to inform them of the water. So, they all came (towards the water)." The Prophet added, "Ishmael's mother
was sitting near the water. They asked her, 'Do you allow us to stay with you?" She replied, 'Yes, but you will have
no right to possess the water.' They agreed to that." The Prophet further said, "Ishmael's mother was pleased with
the whole situation as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people. So, they settled there, and later on
they sent for their families who came and settled with them so that some families became permanent residents
there. The child (i.e. Ishmael) grew up and learnt Arabic from them and (his virtues) caused them to love and
admire him as he grew up, and when he reached the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from amongst
them.

After Ishmael's mother had died, Abraham came after Ishmael's marriage in order to see his family that he had left
before, but he did not find Ishmael there. When he asked Ishmael's wife about him, she replied, 'He has gone in
search of our livelihood.' Then he asked her about their way of living and their condition, and she replied, 'We are
living in misery; we are living in hardship and destitution,' complaining to him. He said, 'When your husband returns,
convey my salutation to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate (of his house).' When Ishmael came,
he seemed to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife, 'Has anyone visited you?' She replied, 'Yes, an
old man of so-and-so description came and asked me about you and I informed him, and he asked about our state
of living, and I told him that we were living in a hardship and poverty.' On that Ishmael said, 'Did he advise you
anything?' She replied, 'Yes, he told me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of
your gate.' Ishmael said, 'It was my father, and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family.' So,
Ishmael divorced her and married another woman from amongst them (i.e. Jurhum).

Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them again but did not
find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael's wife and asked her about Ishmael. She said, 'He has gone in search of our
livelihood.' Abraham asked her, 'How are you getting on?' asking her about their sustenance and living. She
replied, 'We are prosperous and well-off (i.e. we have everything in abundance).' Then she thanked Allah' Abraham
said, 'What kind of food do you eat?' She said. 'Meat.' He said, 'What do you drink?' She said, 'Water." He said, "O
Allah! Bless their meat and water." The Prophet added, "At that time they did not have grain, and if they had grain,
he would have also invoked Allah to bless it." The Prophet added, "If somebody has only these two things as his
sustenance, his health and disposition will be badly affected, unless he lives in Mecca." The Prophet added," Then
Abraham said Ishmael's wife, "When your husband comes, give my regards to him and tell him that he should keep
firm the threshold of his gate.' When Ishmael came back, he asked his wife, 'Did anyone call on you?' She replied,
'Yes, a good-looking old man came to me,' so she praised him and added. 'He asked about you, and I informed him,
and he asked about our livelihood and I told him that we were in a good condition.' Ishmael asked her, 'Did he give
you any piece of advice?' She said, 'Yes, he told me to give his regards to you and ordered that you should keep
firm the threshold of your gate.' On that Ishmael said, 'It was my father, and you are the threshold (of the gate). He
has ordered me to keep you with me.'

Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished, and called on them afterwards. He saw
Ishmael under a tree near Zam-Zam, sharpening his arrows. When he saw Abraham, he rose up to welcome him
(and they greeted each other as a father does with his son or a son does with his father). Abraham said, 'O
Ishmael! Allah has given me an order.' Ishmael said, 'Do what your Lord has ordered you to do.' Abraham asked,
'Will you help me?' Ishmael said, 'I will help you.' Abraham said, Allah has ordered me to build a house here,'
pointing to a hillock higher than the land surrounding it." The Prophet added, "Then they raised the foundations of
the House (i.e. the Ka'ba). Ishmael brought the stones and Abraham was building, and when the walls became high,
Ishmael brought this stone and put it for Abraham who stood over it and carried on building, while Ishmael was
handing him the stones, and both of them were saying, 'O our Lord! Accept (this service) from us, Verily, You are
the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.' The Prophet added, "Then both of them went on building and going round the
Ka'ba saying: O our Lord ! Accept (this service) from us, Verily, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing." (2.127)


Volumn 004, Book 055, Hadith Number 584.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Ibn Abbas : When Abraham had differences with his wife), (because of her jealousy of Hajar, Ishmael's
mother), he took Ishmael and his mother and went away. They had a water-skin with them containing some water,
Ishmael's mother used to drink water from the water-skin so that her milk would increase for her child. When
Abraham reached Mecca, he made her sit under a tree and afterwards returned home. Ishmael's mother followed
him, and when they reached Kada', she called him from behind, 'O Abraham! To whom are you leaving us?' He
replied, '(I am leaving you) to Allah's (Care).' She said, 'I am satisfied to be with Allah.' She returned to her place
and started drinking water from the water-skin, and her milk increased for her child. When the water had all been
used up, she said to herself, 'I'd better go and look so that I may see somebody.' She ascended the Safa mountain
and looked, hoping to see somebody, but in vain. When she came down to the valley, she ran till she reached the
Marwa mountain. She ran to and fro (between the two mountains) many times. They she said to herself, 'i'd better
go and see the state of the child,' she went and found it in a state of one on the point of dying. She could not
endure to watch it dying and said (to herself), 'If I go and look, I may find somebody.' She went and ascended the
Safa mountain and looked for a long while but could not find anybody. Thus she completed seven rounds (of
running) between Safa and Marwa. Again she said (to herself), 'I'd better go back and see the state of the child.'
But suddenly she heard a voice, and she said to that strange voice, 'Help us if you can offer any help.' Lo! It was
Gabriel (who had made the voice). Gabriel hit the earth with his heel like this (Ibn 'Abbas hit the earth with his heel
to Illustrate it), and so the water gushed out. Ishmael's mother was astonished and started digging. (Abu Al-Qasim)
(i.e. the Prophet) said, "If she had left the water, (flow naturally without her intervention), it would have been flowing
on the surface of the earth.") Ishmael's mother started drinking from the water and her milk increased for her child.
Afterwards some people of the tribe of Jurhum, while passing through the bottom of the valley, saw some birds, and
that astonished them, and they said, 'Birds can only be found at a place where there is water.' They sent a
messenger who searched the place and found the water, and returned to inform them about it. Then they all went
to her and said, 'O Ishmael's mother! Will you allow us to be with you (or dwell with you)?' (And thus they stayed
there.) Later on her boy reached the age of puberty and married a lady from them. Then an idea occurred to
Abraham which he disclosed to his wife (Sarah), 'I want to call on my dependents I left (at Mecca).' When he went
there, he greeted (Ishmael's wife) and said, 'Where is Ishmael?' She replied, 'He has gone out hunting.' Abraham
said (to her), 'When he comes, tell him to change the threshold of his gate.' When he came, she told him the same
whereupon Ishmael said to her, 'You are the threshold, so go to your family (i.e. you are divorced).' Again Abraham
thought of visiting his dependents whom he had left (at Mecca), and he told his wife (Sarah) of his intentions.
Abraham came to Ishmael's house and asked. "Where is Ishmael?" Ishmael's wife replied, "He has gone out
hunting," and added, "Will you stay (for some time) and have something to eat and drink?' Abraham asked, 'What is
your food and what is your drink?' She replied, 'Our food is meat and our drink is water.' He said, 'O Allah! Bless
their meals and their drink." Abu Al-Qa-sim (i.e. Prophet) said, "Because of Abraham's invocation there are
blessings (in Mecca)." Once more Abraham thought of visiting his family he had left (at Mecca), so he told his wife
(Sarah) of his decision. He went and found Ishmael behind the Zam-Zam well, mending his arrows. He said, "O
Ishmael, Your Lord has ordered me to build a house for Him." Ishmael said, "Obey (the order of) your Lord."
Abraham said, "Allah has also ordered me that you should help me therein." Ishmael said, "Then I will do." So, both
of them rose and Abraham started building (the Ka'ba) while Ishmael went on handing him the stones, and both of
them were saying, "O our Lord ! Accept (this service) from us, Verily, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing."
(2.127). When the building became high and the old man (i.e. Abraham) could no longer lift the stones (to such a
high position), he stood over the stone of Al-Maqam and Ishmael carried on handing him the stones, and both of
them were saying, 'O our Lord! Accept (this service) from us, Verily You are All-Hearing, All-Knowing." (2.127)

that their nations treated them as liars and it was not a matter of suspecting." 'Aisha said, "O 'Uraiya (i.e. 'Urwa)! No
doubt, they were quite sure about it."

I said, "May the Verse be read in such a way as to mean that the apostles thought that Allah did not help them?"
'Aisha said, "Allah forbid! (Impossible) The Apostles did not suspect their Lord of such a thing. But this Verse is
concerned with the Apostles' followers who had faith in their Lord and believed in their apostles and their period of
trials was long and Allah's Help was delayed till the apostles gave up hope for the conversion of the disbelievers
amongst their nation and suspected that even their followers were shaken in their belief, Allah's Help then came to

Apostle mentioning something about him?" He said, "Yes, I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'While Moses was sitting in
the company of some Israelites, a man came and asked (him), 'Do you know anyone who is more learned than
you?' Moses replied, 'No.' So, Allah sent the Divine Inspiration to Moses: 'Yes, Our slave, Khadir (is more learned
than you).' Moses asked how to meet him (i.e. Khadir). So, the fish, was made, as a sign for him, and he was told
that when the fish was lost, he should return and there he would meet him. So, Moses went on looking for the sign
of the fish in the sea. The servant boy of Moses said to him, 'Do you know that when we were sitting by the side of
the rock, I forgot the fish, and t was only Satan who made me forget to tell (you) about it.' Moses said, That was
what we were seeking after,' and both of them returned, following their footmarks and found Khadir; and what
happened further to them, is mentioned in Allah's Book."

-----------------------------------------
Narated By Said bin Jubair : I said to Ibn Abbas, "Nauf Al-Bukah claims that Moses, the companion of Al-Khadir was
not Moses (the prophet) of the children of Israel, but some other Moses." Ibn 'Abbas said, "Allah's enemy (i.e. Nauf)
has told a lie. Ubai bin Ka'b told us that the Prophet said, 'Once Moses stood up and addressed Bani Israel. He was
asked who was the most learned man amongst the people. He said, 'I.' Allah admonished him as he did not attribute
absolute knowledge to Him (Allah). So, Allah said to him, 'Yes, at the junction of the two seas there is a Slave of
Mine who is more learned than you.' Moses said, 'O my Lord! How can I meet him?' Allah said, 'Take a fish and put
it in a large basket and you will find him at the place where you will lose the fish.' Moses took a fish and put it in a
basket and proceeded along with his (servant) boy, Yusha 'bin Nun, till they reached the rock where they laid their
heads (i.e. lay down). Moses slept, and the fish, moving out of the basket, fell into the sea. It took its way into the
sea (straight) as in a tunnel. Allah stopped the flow of water over the fish and it became like an arch (the Prophet
pointed out this arch with his hands). They travelled the rest of the night, and the next day Moses said to his boy
(servant), 'Give us our food, for indeed, we have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours.' Moses did not feel
tired till he crossed that place which Allah had ordered him to seek after. His boy (servant) said to him, 'Do you
know that when we were sitting near that rock, I forgot the fish, and none but Satan caused me to forget to tell (you)
about it, and it took its course into the sea in an amazing way?.' So there was a path for the fish and that
astonished them. Moses said, 'That was what we were seeking after.' So, both of them retraced their footsteps till
they reached the rock. There they saw a man Lying covered with a garment. Moses greeted him and he replied
saying, 'How do people greet each other in your land?' Moses said, 'I am Moses.' The man asked, 'Moses of Bani
Israel?' Moses said, 'Yes, I have come to you so that you may teach me from those things which Allah has taught
you.' He said, 'O Moses! I have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught me, and which you do not
know, while you have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught you and which I do not know.' Moses
asked, 'May I follow you?' He said, 'But you will not be able to remain patient with me for how can you be patient
about things which you will not be able to understand?' (Moses said, 'You will find me, if Allah so will, truly patient,
and I will not disobey you in aught.') So, both of them set out walking along the sea-shore, a boat passed by them
and they asked the crew of the boat to take them on board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and so they took them
on board without fare. When they were on board the boat, a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and
dipped its beak once or twice into the sea. Al-Khadir said to Moses, 'O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge
have not decreased Allah's Knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its
beak.' Then suddenly Al-Khadir took an adze and plucked a plank, and Moses did not notice it till he had plucked a
plank with the adze. Moses said to him, 'What have you done? They took us on board charging us nothing; yet you
I have intentionally made a hole in their boat so as to drown its passengers. Verily, you have done a dreadful thing.'
Al-Khadir replied, 'Did I not tell you that you would not be able to remain patient with me?' Moses replied, 'Do not
blame me for what I have forgotten, and do not be hard upon me for my fault.' So the first excuse of Moses was that
he had forgotten. When they had left the sea, they passed by a boy playing with other boys.

Al-Khadir took hold of the boys head and plucked it with his hand like this. (Sufyan, the sub narrator pointed with his
fingertips as if he was plucking some fruit.) Moses said to him, "Have you killed an innocent person who has not
killed any person? You have really done a horrible thing." Al-Khadir said, "Did I not tell you that you could not
remain patient with me?' Moses said "If I ask you about anything after this, don't accompany me. You have received
an excuse from me.' Then both of them went on till they came to some people of a village, and they asked its
inhabitant for wood but they refused to entertain them as guests. Then they saw therein a wall which was just going
to collapse (and Al Khadir repaired it just by touching it with his hands). (Sufyan, the sub-narrator, pointed with his
hands, illustrating how Al-Khadir passed his hands over the wall upwards.) Moses said, "These are the people
whom we have called on, but they neither gave us food, nor entertained us as guests, yet you have repaired their
wall. If you had wished, you could have taken wages for it." Al-Khadir said, "This is the parting between you and me,
and I shall tell you the explanation of those things on which you could not remain patient." The Prophet added, "We
wished that Moses could have remained patient by virtue of which Allah might have told us more about their story.
(Sufyan the sub-narrator said that the Prophet said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses! If he had remained
patient, we would have been told further about their case.")

Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle said, "(The Prophet) Moses was a shy person and used to cover his body
completely because of his extensive shyness. One of the children of Israel hurt him by saying, 'He covers his body
in this way only because of some defect in his skin, either leprosy or scrotal hernia, or he has some other defect.'
Allah wished to clear Moses of what they said about him, so one day while Moses was in seclusion, he took off his
clothes and put them on a stone and started taking a bath. When he had finished the bath, he moved towards his
clothes so as to take them, but the stone took his clothes and fled; Moses picked up his stick and ran after the
stone saying, 'O stone! Give me my garment!' Till he reached a group of Bani Israel who saw him naked then, and
found him the best of what Allah had created, and Allah cleared him of what they had accused him of. The stone
stopped there and Moses took and put his garment on and started hitting the stone with his stick. By Allah, the
stone still has some traces of the hitting, three, four or five marks. This was what Allah refers to in His Saying: "O
you who believe! Be you not like those Who annoyed Moses, But Allah proved his innocence of that which they
alleged, And he was honourable In Allah's Sight." (33.69)

He said (to himself), 'Shall I answer her or keep on praying?" (He went on praying) and did not answer her, his
mother said, "O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes." So while he was in his hermitage, a
lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a shepherd and presented herself to him to
commit illegal sexual intercourse with her and then later she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged to
Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him.
Juraij performed the ablution and offered prayer, and then came to the child and said, 'O child! Who is your father?'
The child replied, 'The shepherd.' (After hearing this) the people said, 'We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,' but
he said, 'No, of nothing but mud.'(The third was the hero of the following story) A lady from Bani Israel was nursing
her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, 'O Allah ! Make my child like him.' On that
the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, 'O Allah! Do not make me like him.' The child then started to suck
her breast again. (Abu Huraira further said, "As if I were now looking at the Prophet sucking his finger (in way of
demonstration.") After a while the people passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child's mother) said, 'O
Allah! Do not make my child like this (slave girl)!, On that the child left her breast and said, 'O Allah! Make me like
her.' When she asked why, the child replied, 'The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely accused of
theft and illegal sexual intercourse."
