Hadith 19
عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ! انْسُبْ لَنَا رَبَّكَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ، اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ}
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the polytheists said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Muhammad! Tell us the lineage of your Lord," Allah Almighty revealed this Surah: «قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ٭اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ ٭لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ٭وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ» [الإخلاص: 1-4] "Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the Self-Sufficient. He neither begets nor is born. And there is none comparable to Him." The full meaning of al-Samad is: «الْمَصْمُودُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْحَوَائِجِ، الْغَنِيُّ عَنْ كُلِّ أَحَدٍ.» (He is the One to whom people turn for their needs, while He is free of need from everyone and independent).
Hadith 20
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: (قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: كَذَّبَنِي عَبْدِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَالِكَ، وَشَتَمَنِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَالِكَ، تَكْذِيبُهُ إِيَّايَ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: فَأَمَّا تَكْذِيبُهُ إِيَّايَ) أَنْ يَقُولَ: فَلَنْ يُعِيدَنَا كَمَا بَدَأَنَا، وَأَمَّا شَتْمُهُ إِيَّايَ، يَقُولُ: إِتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا وَأَنَا الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ أَلِدْ وَلَمْ أُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty says: Some of My servants belie Me, though it does not befit them to do so, and some abuse Me, and this too is not befitting for them. The way they belie Me is that a servant says: Just as Allah created us the first time, He will not create us again. And the way they abuse Me is that a servant says: Allah has a child, whereas I am so self-sufficient that I neither begot anyone nor was I begotten, and there is none equal to Me."
Hadith 21
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: يُؤْذِينِي ابْنُ آدَمَ، يَسُبُّ الدَّهْرَ وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ، بِيَدِي الْأَمْرُ أُقَلِّبُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ))
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Allah Almighty says: The son of Adam hurts Me, and that is by reviling time, while I am Time; in My hand is the command, I alternate the night and the day."
Hadith 22
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَكُمْ فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاءَ؟ فَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ؟ فَيَقُولُ: اللَّهُ، فَيَقُولُ: مَنْ خَلَقَ اللَّهَ؟ فَإِذَا أَحَسَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذَا، فَلْيَقُلْ: آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَبِرُسُلِهِ))
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Satan comes to one of you and says: Who created the sky? He says: Allah, the Exalted, did. Then he asks: Who created the earth? He replies: Allah, the Exalted, did. Then he asks: So who created Allah, the Exalted? So when any of you feels this question, let him say: «آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَبِرُسُلِهِ» (I believe in Allah, the Exalted, and His Messengers)."
Hadith 23
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: شَكَوْا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْوَسْوَسَةِ وَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنَّا لَنَجِدُ شَيْئًا لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَنَا خَرَّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((ذَاكَ مَحْضُ الْإِيمَانِ))
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says that people complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the whispers they felt in their hearts and said: "O Messenger of Allah! We feel such things that to express them with our tongues seems harder to us than falling from the sky." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is pure faith."
