Hadith Commentary: (1) At the end of a similar hadith narrated from Abu Hurairah radi Allahu anhu, he said: If you wish to confirm this, then recite this verse of the Noble Qur’an: “And extended shade.” (al-Waqi‘ah: 30/56 and Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of the Beginning of Creation, Hadith: 3252) (2) In a hadith narrated from Asma’ bint Yazid radi Allahu anha, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, while describing the Sidrat al-Muntaha, said: “A rider can travel for a hundred years in the shade of its branches, or he will remain in its shade for a hundred years.” (Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi, Description of Paradise, Hadith: 2541) (3) Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah writes that in the hadith presented by al-Bukhari, the tree referred to is the Sidrat al-Muntaha, as is evident from the hadith of al-Tirmidhi. (Fath al-Bari: 11/517)
