“And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves – the Messengers”
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Gabriel, what prevents you. from visiting us more often than you do?" Then this
Verse was revealed:--'And we angels descend not but by Command of your Lord. To Him belongs
what is before us and what is behind us..' (19.64) So this was the answer to Muhammad.
حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ ذَرٍّ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ أَنْ تَزُورَنَا أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا تَزُورُنَا فَنَزَلَتْ [ 19 64 64]وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلاَّ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا إِلَى آخِرِ الآيَةِ قَالَ هَذَا كَانَ الْجَوَابَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم
“And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves – the Messengers”
Narrated `Abdullah:
While I was walking with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in one of the fields of Medina and he was walking leaning
on a stick, he passed a group of Jews. Some of them said to the others, "Ask him (the Prophet) about
the spirit." Others said, "Do not ask him." But they asked him and he stood leaning on the stick and I
was standing behind him and I thought that he was being divinely inspired. Then he said, "They ask
you concerning the spirit say: The spirit, its knowledge is with My Lord. And of knowledge you (O
men!) have been given only a little." ...(17.85) On that some of the Jews said to the others, "Didn't we
tell you not to ask?"

“And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves – the Messengers”
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah guarantees to the person who carries out Jihad for His Cause and nothing
compelled him to go out but the Jihad in His Cause, and belief in His Words, that He will either admit
him into Paradise or return him with his reward or the booty he has earned to his residence from
where he went out." (See Hadith No. 555).
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ تَكَفَّلَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لاَ يُخْرِجُهُ إِلاَّ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ وَتَصْدِيقُ كَلِمَاتِهِ بِأَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ يَرْجِعَهُ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْهُ مَعَ مَا نَالَ مِنْ أَجْرٍ أَوْ غَنِيمَةٍ
“And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves – the Messengers”
Narrated Abu Musa:
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "A man fights for pride and haughtiness another fights for
bravery, and another fights for showing off; which of these (cases) is in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "The one who fights that Allah's Word (Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause." (See
Hadith No. 65, Vol. 4)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ يُقَاتِلُ حَمِيَّةً وَيُقَاتِلُ شَجَاعَةً وَيُقَاتِلُ رِيَاءً فَأَىُّ ذَلِكَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَنْ قَاتَلَ لِتَكُونَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا فَهْوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
“Verily! Our Word unto a thing when We intend it.…”
Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba:
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Some people from my followers will continue to be victorious over others
till Allah's Order (The Hour) is established." (See Hadith No. 414)
حَدَّثَنَا شِهَابُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَوْمٌ ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى النَّاسِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمْ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ
“Verily! Our Word unto a thing when We intend it.…”
Narrated Muawiya:
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "A group of my followers will keep on following Allah's Laws strictly and
they will not be harmed by those who will disbelieve them or stand against them till Allah's Order
(The Hour) will come while they will be in that state."
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَيْرُ بْنُ هَانِئٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أُمَّةٌ قَائِمَةٌ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ مَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ كَذَّبَهُمْ وَلاَ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَالِكُ بْنُ يُخَامِرَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذًا يَقُولُ وَهُمْ بِالشَّأْمِ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ هَذَا مَالِكٌ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ مُعَاذًا يَقُولُ وَهُمْ بِالشَّأْمِ
“Verily! Our Word unto a thing when We intend it.…”
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) stood before Musailama (the liar) who was sitting with his companions then, and said to
him, "If you ask me for this piece (of palm-leaf stalk), even then I would not give it to you. You
cannot avoid what Allah has ordained for you, and if you turn away from Islam, Allah will surely ruin
you! "
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ وَقَفَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى مُسَيْلِمَةَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَوْ سَأَلْتَنِي هَذِهِ الْقِطْعَةَ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا وَلَنْ تَعْدُوَ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ فِيكَ وَلَئِنْ أَدْبَرْتَ لَيَعْقِرَنَّكَ اللَّهُ
“Verily! Our Word unto a thing when We intend it.…”
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud:
While I was walking in company with the Prophet (ﷺ) in one of the fields of Medina, the Prophet (ﷺ) was
reclining on a palm leave stalk which he carried with him. We passed by a group of Jews. Some of
them said to the others, "Ask him about the spirit." The others said, "Do not ask him, lest he would
say something that you hate." Some of them said, "We will ask him." So a man from among them
stood up and said, 'O Abal-Qasim! What is the spirit?" The Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet and I knew that he was
being divinely inspired. Then he said: "They ask you concerning the Spirit, Say: The Spirit; its
knowledge is with my Lord. And of knowledge you (mankind) have been given only a little." (17.85)
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي بَعْضِ حَرْثِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَهْوَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى عَسِيبٍ مَعَهُ فَمَرَرْنَا عَلَى نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لاَ تَسْأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَجِيءَ فِيهِ بِشَىْءٍ تَكْرَهُونَهُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ مَا الرُّوحُ فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ يُوحَى إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ [ 17 85 85]وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتُوا مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً قَالَ الأَعْمَشُ هَكَذَا فِي قِرِاءَتِنَا
“Say: If the sea were ink for the Words of my Lord, surely the sea would be exhausted…”
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah guarantees (the person who carries out Jihad in His Cause and nothing
compelled him to go out but Jihad in His Cause and the belief in His Word) that He will either admit
him into Paradise (Martyrdom) or return him with reward or booty he has earned to his residence from
where he went out."

(Allah’s) Wish and Will
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Whenever anyone of you invoke Allah for something, he should be firm in his
asking, and he should not say: 'If You wish, give me...' for none can compel Allah to do something
against His Will."
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذَا دَعَوْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاعْزِمُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَلاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَعْطِنِي فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ مُسْتَكْرِهَ لَهُ
(Allah’s) Wish and Will
Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib:
That one night Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) visited him and Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said to
them, "Won 't you offer (night) prayer?.. `Ali added: I said, "O Allah's Messenger! Our souls are in the
Hand of Allah and when He Wishes to bring us to life, He does." Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went away
when I said so and he did not give any reply. Then I heard him on leaving while he was striking his
thighs, saying, 'But man is, more quarrelsome than anything.' (18.54)

(Allah’s) Wish and Will
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh green plant the leaves of which
move in whatever direction the wind forces them to move and when the wind becomes still, it stand
straight. Such is the similitude of the believer: He is disturbed by calamities (but is like the fresh plant
he regains his normal state soon). And the example of a disbeliever is that of a pine tree (which
remains) hard and straight till Allah cuts it down when He will." (See Hadith No. 546 and 547, Vol.
7).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِلاَلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَمَثَلِ خَامَةِ الزَّرْعِ يَفِيءُ وَرَقُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَتَتْهَا الرِّيحُ تُكَفِّئُهَا فَإِذَا سَكَنَتِ اعْتَدَلَتْ وَكَذَلِكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ يُكَفَّأُ بِالْبَلاَءِ وَمَثَلُ الْكَافِرِ كَمَثَلِ الأَرْزَةِ صَمَّاءَ مُعْتَدِلَةً حَتَّى يَقْصِمَهَا اللَّهُ إِذَا شَاءَ
(Allah’s) Wish and Will
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) while he was standing on the pulpit, saying, "The remaining period of your
stay (on the earth) in comparison to the nations before you, is like the period between the `Asr prayer
and sunset. The people of the Torah were given the Torah and they acted upon it till midday, and then
they were worn out and were given for their labor, one Qirat each. Then the people of the Gospel were
given the Gospel and they acted upon it till the time of the `Asr prayer, and then they were worn out
and were given (for their labor), one Qirat each. Then you people were given the Qur'an and you acted
upon it till sunset and so you were given two Qirats each (double the reward of the previous nations)."
Then the people of the Torah said, 'O our Lord! These people have done a little labor (much less than
we) but have taken a greater reward.' Allah said, 'Have I withheld anything from your reward?' They
said, 'No.' Then Allah said, 'That is My Favor which I bestow on whom I wish.' "

(Allah’s) Wish and Will
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:
I, along with a group of people, gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger. He said, "I take your
Pledge on the condition that you (1) will not join partners in worship with Allah, (2) will not steal, (3)
will not commit illegal sexual intercourse, (4) will not kill your offspring, (5) will not slander, (6) and
will not disobey me when I order you to do good. Whoever among you will abide by his pledge, his
reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits any of those sins and receives the punishment in this
world, that punishment will be an expiation for his sins and purification; but if Allah screens him, then
it will be up to Allah to punish him if He will or excuse Him, if He will."

(Allah’s) Wish and Will
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Prophet Solomon who had sixty wives, once said, "Tonight I will have sexual relation (sleep)
with all my wives so that each of them will become pregnant and bring forth (a boy who will grow
into) a cavalier and will fight in Allah's Cause." So he slept with his wives and none of them
(conceived and) delivered (a child) except one who brought a half (body) boy (deformed). Allah's
Prophet said, "If Solomon had said; 'If Allah Will,' then each of those women would have delivered a
(would-be) cavalier to fight in Allah's Cause." (See Hadith No. 74 A, Vol. 4).

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered upon a sick bedouin in whom he went to visit and said to him, "Don't worry,
Tahur (i.e., your illness will be a means of cleansing of your sins), if Allah Will." The bedouin said,
"Tahur! No, but it is a fever that is burning in the body of an old man and it will make him visit his
grave." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then it is so."

Narrated Abu Qatada:
When the people slept till so late that they did not offer the (morning) prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah
captured your souls (made you sleep) when He willed, and returned them (to your bodies) when He
willed." So the people got up and went to answer the call of nature, performed ablution, till the sun
had risen and it had become white, then the Prophet (ﷺ) got up and offered the prayer.

"A man from the Muslims and a man from the Jews quarrelled, and the Muslim said, "By Him Who
gave superiority to Muhammad over all the people!" The Jew said, "By Him Who gave superiority to
Moses over all the people!' On that the Muslim lifted his hand and slapped the Jew. The Jew went to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him of all that had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Do not give me superiority over Moses, for the people will fall unconscious on the Day of
Resurrection, I will be the first to regain consciousness and behold, Moses will be standing there,
holding the side of the Throne. I will not know whether he has been one of those who have fallen
unconscious and then regained consciousness before me, or if he has been one of those exempted by
Allah (from falling unconscious)." (See Hadith No. 524, Vol. 8)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَالأَعْرَجِ وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتِيقٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ اسْتَبَّ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَرَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُحَمَّدًا عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ فِي قَسَمٍ يُقْسِمُ بِهِ فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ وَالَّذِي اصْطَفَى مُوسَى عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ فَرَفَعَ الْمُسْلِمُ يَدَهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَطَمَ الْيَهُودِيَّ فَذَهَبَ الْيَهُودِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ وَأَمْرِ الْمُسْلِمِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ تُخَيِّرُونِي عَلَى مُوسَى فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ يَصْعَقُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يُفِيقُ فَإِذَا مُوسَى بَاطِشٌ بِجَانِبِ الْعَرْشِ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَكَانَ فِيمَنْ صَعِقَ فَأَفَاقَ قَبْلِي أَوْ كَانَ مِمَّنِ اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ
(Allah’s) Wish and Will
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Ad-Dajjal will come to Medina and find the angels guarding it. If Allah will,
neither Ad-Dajjal nor plague will be able to come near it."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي عِيسَى أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَدِينَةُ يَأْتِيهَا الدَّجَّالُ فَيَجِدُ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ يَحْرُسُونَهَا فَلاَ يَقْرَبُهَا الدَّجَّالُ وَلاَ الطَّاعُونُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
(Allah’s) Wish and Will
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "For every Prophet there is one invocation which is definitely fulfilled by Allah,
and I wish, if Allah will, to keep my that (special) invocation as to be the intercession for my
followers on the Day of Resurrection."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ فَأُرِيدُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِيَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لأُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
