Hadith 8937
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُصُّ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ {وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِ} [سورة الرحمن: ٤٦] فَقُلْتُ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الثَّانِيَةَ {وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِ} [سورة الرحمن: ٤٦] فَقُلْتُ الثَّانِيَةَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الثَّالِثَةَ {وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ جَنَّتَانِ} [سورة الرحمن: ٤٦] فَقُلْتُ الثَّالِثَةَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنْ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda, he says: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting this verse on the pulpit: {وَلِمَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّہِ جَنَّتَانِ۔} … And for the one who fears standing before his Lord, there are two gardens. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Even if he commits adultery and theft? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated: And for the one who fears standing before his Lord, there are two gardens. I also repeated: O Messenger of Allah! Even if he commits adultery and theft? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the same verse a third time: And for the one who fears standing before his Lord, there are two gardens. I also asked the same question a third time: O Messenger of Allah! Even if he commits adultery and theft? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, even if Abu Darda’s nose becomes dust-covered.
Hadith 8938
عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَا أَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ خَيْرًا وَلَا شَرًّا حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ مَا يُخْتَمُ لَهُ يَعْنِي بَعْدَ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِيلَ وَمَا سَمِعْتَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَقَلْبُ ابْنِ آدَمَ أَشَدُّ انْقِلَابًا مِنَ الْقِدْرِ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَتْ غَلْيًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: After hearing a hadith of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I do not make any judgment about the goodness or evil of any person until I see on which deed his life ends. Someone asked: Which hadith have you heard? I said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The heart of the son of Adam turns more frequently than a pot that is boiling completely.
Hadith 8939
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَأَهْلُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَخَافُ عَلَيْنَا وَقَدْ آمَنَّا بِكَ وَبِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ قَالَ إِنَّ الْقُلُوبَ بِيَدِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُقَلِّبُهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to frequently make this supplication: … “O Turner of the hearts! Keep my heart firm upon Your religion.” The companions and family members of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Do you fear for us, even though we have believed in you and in the Shari’ah you have brought? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Indeed, all hearts are in the hand of Allah Almighty; He turns them as He wills.
Hadith 8940
عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ فِيمَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ رَغَسَهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَالًا وَوَلَدًا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ عَصْرُهُ وَجَاءَ عَصْرٌ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ أَيْ بَنِيَّ أَيَّ أَبٍ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ قَالُوا خَيْرَ أَبٍ قَالَ أَنْتُمْ مُطِيعِيَّ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ انْظُرُوا إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ أَنْ تُحَرِّقُونِي حَتَّى تَدَعُونِي فَحْمًا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفَعَلُوا وَاللَّهِ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ اهْرُسُونِي بِالْمِهْرَاسِ يُومِئُ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفَعَلُوا وَاللَّهِ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ فِي يَوْمِ رِيحٍ لَعَلِّي أَضِلُّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفَعَلُوا وَاللَّهِ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي قَبْضَةِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ قَالَ أَيْ رَبِّ مَخَافَتُكَ قَالَ فَتَلَافَاهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى بِهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty had bestowed great blessings in the wealth and property of a man before you, to the extent that his era passed and a new era began. So when the time of his death approached, he said: How did you find me as a father? They said: The best father. He said: Will you obey me? They said: Yes. He said: Look, when I die, you must burn me until I become coal. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Allah! They did exactly that. Then he had indicated with his hand: Then crush me with a mortar and pestle. They did exactly that, then scatter me (i.e., my ashes) in the sea on a windy day, perhaps I may hide from Allah Almighty. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Allah! They did exactly that, but suddenly Allah Almighty took hold of him and asked: O son of Adam! What made you do this action? He said: O my Lord! It was Your fear. So because of this, Allah Almighty forgave his shortcomings.
Hadith 8941
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِنَحْوِهِ وَفِيهِ فَجَمَعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ لَهُ لِمَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ قَالَ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ قَالَ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ نَبَّاشًا
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated a similar hadith of the Prophet, except that in it is: So Allah Almighty gathered him and said: Why did you do such a thing? He said: Out of fear of You. So Allah Almighty forgave him. Uqbah bin Amr said: I have heard that he was a grave-robber.
Hadith 8942
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْئًا قَطُّ إِلَّا التَّوْحِيدَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَخُذُونِي وَاحْرُقُونِي حَتَّى تَدَعُونِي حُمَمَةً ثُمَّ اطْحَنُونِي ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ فِي يَوْمٍ رَاحٍ قَالَ فَفَعَلُوا بِهِ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي قَبْضَةِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ قَالَ مَخَافَتُكَ قَالَ فَغَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ قَالَ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِمِثْلِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: A man had not performed any good deed except for Tawheed (belief in the Oneness of Allah). When the time of his death approached, he said to his family: When I die, seize me and burn me, then make me into coal, then crush me and scatter me in the sea on a windy day. They did as he instructed, but suddenly he came into the grasp of Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty said to him: What made you carry out this action? He replied: Your fear. So Allah Almighty forgave him.
Hadith 8943
عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) has also narrated a similar hadith of the Prophet.
Hadith 8944
عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَأَبِي الدَّهْمَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَا كَانَا يُكْثِرَانِ السَّفَرَ نَحْوَ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ قَالَا أَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَقُلْنَا هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا) فَقَالَ الْبَدَوِيُّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَعَلَ يُعَلِّمُنِي مِمَّا عَلَّمَهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَقَالَ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَدَعَ شَيْئًا اتِّقَاءَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَّا أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ
It is narrated from Abu Qatadah and Abu Dahma that they used to travel frequently towards the House of Allah. They say: Once we came to a Bedouin man and asked: Have you heard any hadith from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him? The Bedouin said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, took my hand and taught me some of those things which Allah Almighty had given him knowledge of. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whatever you leave out of fear of Allah Almighty, Allah Almighty will grant you something better than it.
