1225 - ʾakhbarakum ʾabū ʿumara bnu ḥayawayhi qāla: ḥaddathanā yaḥyā qāla: ḥaddathanā muḥammadu bnu ziyādi bni al-rabīʿi al-ziyādiyyu qāla: ʾakhbaranā al-fuḍaylu bnu sulaymāna al-numayriyyu qāla: ḥaddathanā al-ḥasanu bnu ʿubaydi Allāhi, ʿan saʿdi bni ʿubaydata, ʿan ʾabī ʿabdi al-raḥmāni al-sulamiyyi qāla: ʾamara ʿaliyyun bi-al-siwāki, waqāla: qāla rasūlu Allāhi ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama:

He said: Yaḥyā related to us; Muḥammad ibn Ziyād ibn al-Rabīʿ al-Ziyādī related to us; al-Fuḍayl ibn Sulaymān al-Numayrī informed us; al-Ḥasan ibn ʿUbayd Allāh related to us, from Saʿd ibn ʿUbayda, from Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Sulamī, who said: ʿAlī instructed people to use the toothstick and said: The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, said:
«إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا تَسَوَّكَ ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي، قَامَ الْمَلَكُ خَلْفَهُ يَسْتَمِعُ الْقُرْآنَ، فَلَا يَزَالُ عَجَبُهُ بِالْقُرْآنِ يُدْنِيهِ مِنْهُ، حَتَّى يَضَعَ فَاهُ عَلَى فِيهِ،
«ʾinna al-ʿabda ʾidhā tasawwaka thumma qāma yuṣallī, qāma al-malaku khalfahu yastamiʿu al-qurʾāna, falā yazālu ʿajabuhu bi-al-qurʾāni yudnīhi minhu, ḥattā yaḍaʿa fāhu ʿalā fīhi,
“When a servant cleans his teeth and then stands to pray, an angel stands behind him listening to the Qurʾān. Wonder at the Qurʾān draws the angel closer and closer until it places its mouth upon his.
فَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِلَّا صَارَ فِي جَوْفِ الْمَلَكِ، فَطَهِّرُوا أَفْوَاهَكُمْ»
famā yakhruju min fīhi shayʾun mina al-qurʾāni ʾillā ṣāra fī jawfi al-malaki, faṭahhirū ʾafwāhakum»
Whatever Qurʾān comes from the servant’s mouth goes into the angel’s body. So cleanse your mouths.”

“kāna yuqālu: rakʿatāni yarkaʿuhumā al-ʿabdu waqadi istanna fīhimā, ʾafḍala min sabʿīna rakʿatan lam yastanna fīhā”

«ʾannahu kāna yatasawwaku ḥīna yurīdu al-nawma, wabukratan, waḥīna yuṣbiḥu»
“that he used the toothstick when he was about to sleep, early in the day, and when morning came.”

kāna ibnu ʿumara lā yaʾkulu ṭaʿāman ʾillā istanna, wakāna yaqūlu:
Ibn ʿUmar would never eat a meal without cleaning his teeth, and he would say:
" لَوِ اِسْتَقْبَلْتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اِسْتَدْبَرْتُ مِنْهُ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ وَصِيفَيْنِ ،
“lawi istaqbaltu min ʾamrī mā istadbartu minhu kāna ʾaḥabba ʾilayya min waṣīfayni,
“If I could face anew what has passed of my affairs, it would be dearer to me than two young servants.” The quotation appears to lack a closing mark in the source.

“Were it not for the hardship it would cause my community, I would have instructed them to use the toothstick at every prayer and delayed the night prayer until halfway through the night—or until a third of the night had passed.”
ذَكَرَ نُزُولَهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَقَالَ:
dhakara nuzūlahu ʿazza wajalla, faqāla:
An unnumbered continuation mentions His descent, mighty and majestic is He, and says:
«مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ»

“would rise during the night, go to the water, and perform ablution without waking any of his servants, though he was an old man. Then he would pray.”

لَأَرْمُقَنَّ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ:
laʾarmuqanna ṣalāta rasūli Allāhi ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama, qāla:
“I will watch closely how the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, prays.” He said:

“Whoever sleeps through his regular portion of recitation, or any part of it, but recites it between the dawn prayer and the noon prayer, is credited as though he had recited it at night.”

عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُتْوَارِيِّ أَحَدُ بَنِي لَيْثٍ، وَكَانَ فِي حِجْرِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ يَقُولُ:

from Sulaymān ibn ʿAmr ibn ʿAbd al-ʿUtwārī, one of the Banū Layth, who had been under Abū Saʿīd’s care. He said: I heard Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī say:
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: “ يُوضَعُ الصِّرَاطُ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ جَهَنَّمَ، وَعَلَيْهِ حَسَكٌ كَحَسَكِ السَّعْدَانِ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَجِيزُ النَّاسُ،

“I heard the Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, say: ‘The bridge is set across Gehenna, with hooks like the burrs of the saʿdān plant. Then people seek passage.
فَنَاجٍ مُسَلَّمٌ، وَمَجْرُوحٌ نَاجٍ، وَمُحْتَبَسٌ، وَمَنْكُوسٌ فِيهَا، وَإِذَا فَرَغَ اللَّهُ عَنْ وَطَرٍ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ،

Some pass safely; some escape wounded; others are detained or cast headlong into it. When God has completed what He intends of the judgment among His servants,
يَفْقِدُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ رِجَالًا كَانُوا مَعَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا يُصَلُّونَ صَلَاتَهُمْ، وَيُزَكُّونَ زَكَاتَهُمْ، وَيَصُومُونَ صِيَامَهُمْ، وَيَحُجُّونَ حِجَّهُمْ، وَيَغْزُونَ غَزْوَهُمْ،

the believers notice the absence of men who had been with them in this world: they prayed as they did, gave alms as they did, fasted, performed pilgrimage, and joined their expeditions.
فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا رَبَّنَا، عِبَادٌ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ كَانُوا مَعَنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا يُصَلُّونَ صَلَاتَنَا، وَيَصُومُونَ صِيَامَنَا، وَيَحُجُّونَ حَجَّنَا، وَيُزَكُّونَ زَكَاتَنَا،

They say, ‘Our Lord, some of Your servants were with us in this world, praying as we prayed, fasting as we fasted, making pilgrimage as we did, and giving alms as we did.
وَيَغْزُونَ مَعَنَا، لَا نَرَاهُمْ، فَيَقُولُ: اِذْهَبُوا إِلَى النَّارِ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِيهَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ، قَالَ:

They joined us on expeditions, but we do not see them.’ God says, ‘Go to the Fire, and bring out any of them you find there.’ He said:
فَيَجِدُونَ وَقَدْ أَخَذَتْهُمُ النَّارُ عَلَى قَدْرِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ، فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَخَذَتْهُ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَخَذَتْهُ إِلَى نِصْفِ سَاقَيْهِ،

They find that the Fire has reached each one according to his deeds: for some, as far as their feet; for others, halfway up their shins;
وَمِنْهُمْ أَخَذَتْهُ إِلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَمِنْهُمْ أَخَذَتْهُ إِلَى ثَدْيَيْهِ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَخَذَتْهُ إِلَى إِزْرَتِهِ ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَخَذَتْهُ إِلَى عُنُقِهِ،

for others, up to their knees, their breasts, their waistcloth, or their necks.
وَلَمَّا تَغْشَ الْوُجُوهَ، فَيَسْتَخْرِجُونَهُمْ مِنْهَا، فَيُطْرَحُونَ فِي مَاءِ الْحَيَاةِ ”، فَقِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَمَا مَاءُ الْحَيَاةِ؟ قَالَ: “ غُسْلُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ،

It has not covered their faces. The believers bring them out and place them in the Water of Life.” Someone asked, “Messenger of God, what is the Water of Life?” He said, “The washing water of the people of Paradise.
فَيَنْبُتُونَ فِيهِ كَمَا يَنْبُتُ الزَّرْعُ فِي غُثَاءِ السَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ يَشْفَعُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ، أَوْ قَالَ:

They sprout in it like plants in the debris carried by a flood. Then the prophets intercede—or he said:
يُشَفَّعُ فِي كُلِّ مَنْ كَانَ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصًا فَيُسْتَخْرَجُونَ مِنْهَا، ثُمَّ يَتَحَنَّنُ اللَّهُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ عَلَى مَنْ فِيهَا،

intercession is granted for everyone who sincerely testified that there is no god but God, and they are brought out of it. Then God, in His mercy, shows compassion to those still there.
فَمَا يَتْرُكُ أَحَدًا فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ إِلَّا أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْهَا ”
famā yatruku ʾaḥadan fī qalbihi mithqālu dharratin min ʾīmānin ʾillā ʾakhrajahu minhā”
He leaves no one with the weight of even a particle of faith in the heart without bringing that person out of the Fire.’”
١٢٦٩ - أَخْبَرَكُمْ أَبُو عُمَرَ بْنُ حَيَوَيْهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، وَزِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِلْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ:

1269 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you. He said: Yaḥyā related to us; al-Ḥusayn, Ziyād ibn Ayyūb, and Yaʿqūb ibn Ibrāhīm related to us, with the wording of al-Ḥusayn. He said: Ismāʿīl ibn Ibrāhīm related to us; Saʿīd ibn Yazīd related to us, from Abū Naḍra, from Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī, who said:
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: “ أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَوْنَ،

The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, said: “As for those who truly belong to the Fire, they neither die there nor live.
وَلَكِنْ أُنَاسٌ - أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ - يُصِيبُهُمُ النَّارُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ - أَوْ قَالَ: بِخَطَايَاهُمْ - وَيُمِيتُهُمْ إِمَاتَةً،
walākin ʾunāsun - ʾaw kamā qāla - yuṣībuhumu al-nāru bidhunūbihim - ʾaw qāla: bikhaṭāyāhum - wayumītuhum ʾimātatan,
But there are others—or words to that effect—whom the Fire touches because of their sins—or, he said, their faults—and He causes them to die.
حَتَّى إِذَا صَارُوا فَحْمًا أُذِنَ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ،
ḥattā ʾidhā ṣārū faḥman ʾudhina fī al-shafāʿati,
Once they have become like charcoal, permission is given for intercession.
فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ ضَبَائِرَ، فَبُثُّوا عَلَى أَنْهَارٍ - أَوْ قَالَ: بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ - وَيُقَالُ: يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ، أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ،
fajīʾa bihim ḍabāʾira, fabuththū ʿalā ʾanhārin - ʾaw qāla: bābi al-jannati - wayuqālu: yā ʾahla al-jannati, ʾafīḍū ʿalayhim,
They are brought in bundles and scattered beside rivers—or, he said, at the gate of Paradise. It is said, “People of Paradise, pour water over them.”
فَيَنْبُتُونَ كَمَا يَنْبُتُ الْحِبَّةُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ ” فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ حِينَئِذٍ:

They grow as a seed grows in the debris carried by a flood.” At that point, a man among those present said:

“The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, had been in the desert.”

“Those who disbelieved may wish they had been Muslims” [al-Ḥijr 15:2]. He said:

“I was told that the polytheists say to those entering the Fire, ‘What benefit did what you used to worship bring you?’ God, exalted is He, becomes angry on their behalf.
وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ: اِشْفَعُوا، فَيَشْفَعُونَ، فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ
wayaqūlu Allāhu taʿālā li-l-malāʾikati wa-al-nabiyyīna: ishfaʿū, fayashfaʿūna, fayakhrujūna mina al-nāri
God Most High says to the angels and prophets, ‘Intercede.’ They intercede, and those people leave the Fire,
حَتَّى إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ لَيَتَطَاوَلُ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يُخْرَجَ مَعَهُمْ، فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ

“Muḥammad, God bless him and grant him peace, will be the first permitted by God Most High to speak and intercede on the Day of Resurrection. He will be told, ‘Speak, and you will be heard; ask, and you will be given.’
فَيَخِرُّ سَاجِدًا، فَيُثْنِي عَلَى اللَّهِ ثَنَاءً لَمْ يُثْنِهِ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: اِرْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ، فَيَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: «يَا رَبِّ، أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي» ،

He falls in prostration and praises God with praise no one has offered before. He is told, ‘Raise your head.’ He does so and says, ‘My Lord, my community! My community!’
فَيُخْرَجُ لَهُ ثُلُثُ مَنْ فِي النَّارِ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ، ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لَهُ: قُلْ يُسْمَعْ، وَسَلْ تُعْطَهْ، فَيَخِرُّ سَاجِدًا،

One third of those from his community in the Fire are brought out for him. He is told again, ‘Speak, and you will be heard; ask, and you will be given.’ He falls in prostration,
وَيُثْنِي عَلَى اللَّهِ ثَنَاءً لَمْ يُثْنِهِ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: اِرْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ، وَقُلْ يُسْمَعْ، فَيَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: «يَا رَبِّ، أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي» ،

Another third of his community is brought out for him. Again he is told, ‘Speak, and you will be heard; ask, and you will be given.’ He falls in prostration and offers praise to God that no one has offered before.
فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: اِرْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ، قُلْ يُسْمَعْ، فَيَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ، فَيَقُولُ: «يَا رَبِّ، أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي، فَيُخْرَجُ لَهُ الثُّلُثُ الْبَاقِي» ، قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لِلْحَسَنِ:

He is told, ‘Raise your head; speak, and you will be heard.’ He raises his head and says, ‘My Lord, my community! My community!’ The remaining third is brought out for him. He said: Then al-Ḥasan was asked:
إِنَّ أَبَا حَمْزَةَ يُحَدِّثُ بِكَذَا وَكَذَا، فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ: يَرْحَمُ اللَّهُ أَبَا حَمْزَةَ نَسِيَ الرَّابِعَةَ، قُلْنَا: وَمَا الرَّابِعَةُ؟ قَالَ:

“Abū Ḥamza relates such and such.” Al-Ḥasan replied, “May God have mercy on Abū Ḥamza; he forgot the fourth occasion.” We asked, “What is the fourth?” He said:
مَنْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ إِلَّا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، فَيَقُولُ: «يَا رَبِّ، أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي» ، فَيُقَالُ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ،

“It concerns one who has no good deed other than the testimony, ‘There is no god but God.’ He says, ‘My Lord, my community! My community!’ He is told, ‘Muḥammad,

I asked Ibn ʿUmar, “Is it better for someone standing in prayer to bow for longer or to prostrate for longer?” He replied, “My nephew, a person’s sins are on his head, and prostration causes sins to fall away.”

We were at Dhū al-Ṣawārī with Abū Fāṭimah al-Azdī. His forehead and knees had darkened from frequent prostration. One day he said, “The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, told me: ‘Abū Fāṭimah, prostrate often. Whenever a servant makes one prostration to God Almighty and Majestic, God raises him one rank through it.’”

He said: The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, stayed with me for a month. I observed all his activities. When the sun passed its zenith—or inclined, or as the narrator put it—he set aside any worldly task at hand. If asleep, it was as though he were awakened for it. He rose, bathed or performed ablution, and offered units of prayer, completing them, performing them well, and remaining in them for some time.
فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْطَلِقَ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مَكَثْتَ عِنْدِي شَهْرًا، وَلَوَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ مَكَثْتَ عِنْدِي أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَبَقَيْتُ فِي عَمَلِكَ كُلِّهِ، فَرَأَيْتُكَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ، أَوْ زَاغَتْ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي يَدِكَ عَمَلٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا رَفَضْتَهُ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ نَائِمًا فَكَأَنَّمَا تُوقَظُ لَهُ، فَتَغْتَسِلُ، أَوْ تَوَضَّأُ، ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ، تُتِمُّهُنَّ، وَتُحْسِنُهُنَّ، وَتَمْكُثُ فِيهِنَّ،

When he was about to leave, I said, “Messenger of God, you stayed with me for a month, and I wished you had stayed longer. I watched everything you did. When the sun passed its zenith or inclined, you set aside any worldly work in your hands; if asleep, it was as though you were awakened for it. Then you bathed or performed ablution and offered four units of prayer, completing them, performing them well, and lingering in them.”
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَأَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تُفْتَحُ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ، فَمَا تُرْتَجُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَأَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى تُصَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتُ، فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ لِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ خَيْرٌ» ،
faqāla rasūlu allāhi ṣallā allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama: «ʾinna ʾabwāba al-samāwāti waʾabwāba al-jannati tuftaḥu fī tilka al-sāʿati, famā turtaju ʾabwābu al-samāwāti waʾabwābu al-jannati ḥattā tuṣallā hādhihi al-ṣalawātu, faʾaḥbabtu ʾan yaṣʿada lī tilka al-sāʿata khayrun» ,
The Messenger of God, God bless him and grant him peace, said: “The gates of the heavens and the gates of Paradise open at that hour, and they do not close until these prayers have been offered. I wanted some good to ascend for me at that time.”
قَالَ اِبْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ: وَزَادَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ: «فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ لِي عَمَلِي فِي أَوَّلِ الْعَابِدِينَ»

أَنَّ أَبَا مُوسَى، كَانَ فِي سَفِينَةٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ مَرْفُوعٌ شِرَاعُهَا، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يَقُولُ: «يَا أَهْلَ السَّفِينَةِ، قِفُوا» - سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ - قُلْتُ: أَلَا تَرَى عَلَى أَيِّ حَالٍ نَحْنُ؟

that Abū Mūsā was aboard a ship at sea with its sail raised. A man called, “People of the ship, stop!” seven times. I said, “Can you not see our situation?”
فَقَالَ فِي السَّابِعَةِ: «قِفُوا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِقَضَاءٍ قَضَاهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَضَى عَلَى نَفْسِهِ، أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَطَّشَ نَفْسَهُ فِي يَوْمٍ حَارٍّ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الدُّنْيَا شَدِيدِ الْحَرِّ كَانَ حَقِيقًا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَرْوِيَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» ،
faqāla fī al-sābiʿati: «qifū ʾukhbirukum biqaḍāʾin qaḍāhu allāhu ʿalā nafsihi, ʾinna allāha qaḍā ʿalā nafsihi, ʾannahu man ʿaṭṭasha nafsahu fī yawmin ḥārrin min ʾayyāmi al-dunyā shadīdi al-ḥarri kāna ḥaqīqan ʿalā allāhi ʾan yarwiyahu yawma al-qiyāmati» ,
At the seventh call he said, “Stop, and I will tell you of a decree God has laid upon Himself. God has decreed for Himself that whoever makes himself thirsty on a fiercely hot day in this world has a claim that God will give him drink on the Day of Resurrection.”
قَالَ: فَكَانَ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيُّ يَتْبَعُ الْيَوْمَ الْمَعْمَعَانِيَّ الشَّدِيدَ الْحَرِّ فَيَصُومُهُ "
qāla: fakāna ʾabū mūsā al-ʾashʿariyyu yatbaʿu al-yawma al-maʿmaʿāniyya al-shadīda al-ḥarri fayaṣūmuhu "
Thus Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī would seek out a sweltering, intensely hot day and fast through it.

He said: God will ask, “If I give you a command, will you obey Me?”
فَيَقُولُونَ: نَعَمْ، فَيَأْخُذُ عُهُودَهُمْ، وَمَوَاثِيقَهُمْ،
fayaqūlūna: naʿam, fayaʾkhudhu ʿuhūdahum, wamawāthīqahum,

thumma yaqūlu: inṭaliqū fa-dkhulū al-nāra, fayanṭaliqūna,
Then He will say, “Go and enter the Fire.” They will set out.
فَإِذَا رَأَوْهَا سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا، فَيَهَابُونَهَا، فَيَرْجِعُونَ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ: مَا مَنَعَكُمْ أَنْ تَدْخُلُوا؟
faʾidhā raʾawhā samiʿū lahā taghayyuẓan wazafīran, fayahābūnahā, fayarjiʿūna, fayuqālu lahum: mā manaʿakum ʾan tadkhulū?
When they see it, they will hear its furious roaring and exhalation. They will fear it and turn back. They will be asked, “What prevented you from entering?”
فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا رَبَّنَا، فَرِقْنَا،
fayaqūlūna: yā rabbanā, fariqnā,
They will say, “Our Lord, we were frightened.”

“Whoever spends a pair of things in the cause of God Almighty and Majestic will be called to Paradise: ‘Servant of God, this is good!’ A person devoted to prayer will be called from the gate of prayer; one devoted to charity from the gate of charity; one devoted to striving from the gate of striving; and one devoted to fasting from the gate of al-Rayyān.”

“This religion demands sustained effort; whoever cannot remain patient with it will abandon it. Truth is weighty, and the human being is weak.”
وَكَانَ يُقَالُ: لِيَأْخُذْ أَحَدُكُمْ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا يُطِيقُ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَدْرِي مَا قَدْرُ أَجَلِهِ،

If a servant drives himself harshly and takes on more than he can bear, he may soon let it all go, perhaps even ceasing to fulfill an obligatory act.
وَإِذَا رَكِبَ بِنَفْسِهِ التَّيْسِيرَ وَالتَّخْفِيفَ، وَكَلَّفَ نَفْسَهُ مَا تُطِيقُ كَانَ أَكْيَسَ - أَوْ قَالَ: كَانَ أَكْثَرَ الْعَامِلِينَ، وَأَمْنَعَهَا مِنْ هَذَا الْعَدُوِّ -

“This religion is firm, so enter deeply into it with gentleness. Do not make worship of God hateful to yourselves. Someone who drives his mount until it collapses neither reaches a distant destination nor spares the mount’s back.”
وَاعْمَلْ عَمَلَ اِمْرِئٍ يَظُنُّ أَنْ لَا يَمُوتَ إِلَّا هَرِمًا، وَاحْذَرْ حَذَرَ اِمْرِئٍ يَخْشَى أَنْ يَمُوتَ غَدًا»

1339 — Abū ʿUmar ibn Ḥayawayh informed you: Yaḥyā narrated to us; al-Ḥusayn narrated to us. He said: Ibn al-Mubārak informed us: Saʿīd al-Jurayrī informed us, from Abū al-ʿAlāʾ, from a man who said:
أَتَيْتُ تَمِيمًا الدَّارِيَّ فَحَدَّثَنِي حَتَّى اِسْتَأْنَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ: كَمْ جُزْءًا تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ؟

I visited Tamīm al-Dārī, who spoke to me until I felt at ease with him. I asked, “How many portions of the Qurʾān do you recite each night?”
فَغَضِبَ، فَقَالَ: “ لَعَلَّكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَقْرَأُ أَحَدُهُمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ، فَيُصْبِحُ فَيَقُولُ: قَدْ قَرَأْتُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ تَمِيمٍ بِيَدِهِ، لَأَنْ أُصَلِّيَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ نَافِلَةً أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ، ثُمَّ أُصْبِحُ، فَأَقُولُ: قَرَأْتُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ”،
faghaḍiba, faqāla: “ laʿallaka mina al-ladhīna yaqraʾu ʾaḥaduhumu al-qurʾāna fī laylatin, fayuṣbiḥu fayaqūlu: qad qaraʾtu al-qurʾāna fī hādhihi al-laylati, fa-wa-al-ladhī nafsu tamīmin biyadihi, laʾan ʾuṣalliya thalātha rakaʿātin nāfilatan ʾaḥabbu ʾilayya min ʾan ʾaqraʾa al-qurʾāna fī laylatin, thumma ʾuṣbiḥu, faʾaqūlu: qaraʾtu al-qurʾāna fī laylatin ”,
He became angry and said, “Perhaps you are among those who recite the whole Qurʾān in one night, then say in the morning, ‘I recited the Qurʾān last night.’ By Him in whose hand Tamīm’s soul rests, I would rather perform three voluntary units of prayer than recite the Qurʾān in a night and announce it the next morning.”
قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَغْضَبَنِي، قُلْتُ: وَاللَّهِ إِنَّكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ صَحَابَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْكُمْ لَجَدِيرُونَ أَنْ تَسْكُتُوا فَلَا تُعَلِّمُوا، وَأَنْ تُعَنِّفُوا مَنْ سَأَلَكُمْ،

When he angered me, I said, “By God, you surviving Companions of the Messenger of God, God bless him and give him peace, ought to be silent instead of teaching and to scold those who ask you questions!”
فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَدْ غَضِبْتُ لَانَ، وَقَالَ: «أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ يَا اِبْنَ أَخِي» ،

When he saw my anger, he softened and said, “Shall I tell you something, my nephew?”

I replied, “Yes. By God, I came to you precisely so you would tell me.”

He said, “Suppose I am a strong believer and you are weak: if you impose my strength on your weakness, you may be unable to bear it and break down. Or suppose you are strong and I am weak: if I try eagerly to take your strength upon my weakness, I too may break down.”
وَلَكِنْ خُذْ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ لِدِينِكَ، وَمِنْ دِينِكَ لِنَفْسِكَ، يَسْتَقِيمُ بِكَ الْأَمْرُ عَلَى عِبَادَةٍ تُطِيقُهَا»

“Instead, draw from yourself what your faith needs, and from your faith what you can bear, so that your practice remains steady and within your capacity.”

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ آخَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، فَقُتِلَ أَحَدُهُمَا، وَمَاتَ الْآخَرُ بَعْدَهُ، فَصَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ،

that the Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, joined two of his Companions in brotherhood. One was killed; the other died later, and we prayed over him.
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا قُلْتُمْ؟» قَالُوا: دَعَوْنَا لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ اِغْفِرْ لَهُ، اللَّهُمَّ أَلْحِقْهُ بِصَاحِبِهِ،

The Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, asked, “What did you say?” They replied, “We prayed for him: ‘God, forgive him; God, join him with his companion.’”
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: “ فَأَيْنَ صَلَاتُهُ بَعْدَ صَلَاتِهِ؟ وَأَيْنَ عَمَلُهُ بَعْدَ عَمَلِهِ - وَأُرَاهُ قَالَ: صَوْمُهُ بَعْدَ صَوْمِهِ - مَا بَيْنَهُمَا كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ” ،

The Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, replied, “What of his prayers after the other man’s prayers, and his deeds after the other’s deeds—and I think he said, his fasting after the other’s fasting? The difference between them is like the distance between heaven and earth.”

“Seven will be shaded by God in His shade on the Day of Resurrection, when there is no shade but His: a just leader; a young person raised in worship of God Almighty and Majestic; a man whose heart was attached to the mosque;
وَرَجُلَانِ تَحَابَّا فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ فِي الْخَلَاءِ فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ،

qāla bakrun: ʾajmil lanā al-taqwā,
Bakr said, “Describe God-consciousness to us in general terms.”
قَالَ: «التَّقْوَى عَمَلٌ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ، عَلَى نُورٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ، رَجَاءَ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ، وَالتَّقْوَى تَرْكُ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَى نُورٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ، خِيفَةَ عِقَابِ اللَّهِ»

He said: al-Ḥajjāj came as an envoy to ʿAbd al-Malik, accompanied by Muʿāwiyah ibn Qurrah. ʿAbd al-Malik asked Muʿāwiyah about al-Ḥajjāj,

The Prophet, God bless him and give him peace, said, “Concern for others vanishes at three places: when the balances are set down and each servant worries only about himself and whether his balance is heavy or light; when the record is presented and he cries, ‘Here, read my record!’; and at the Bridge over Hell.”

“What a fine gift, what a fine offering: a word of wisdom that a Muslim hears, keeps close to himself, then offers to his brother.”
قَالَ: وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْكَلِمَةُ مِنْ كَلَامِ الْحِكْمَةِ يَسْمَعُهَا الرَّجُلُ الْمُؤْمِنُ، فَيَعْمَلُ بِهَا، أَوْ يُعَلِّمُهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ سَنَةٍ عَلَى زِينَتِهَا»

who said: God’s Messenger, God bless him and give him peace, entered the mosque and saw two gatherings. In one, people prayed to God Most High and sought His favor; in the other, they learned religious understanding.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «كِلَا الْمَجْلِسَيْنِ عَلَى خَيْرٍ، وَأَحَدُهُمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ، أَمَّا هَؤُلَاءِ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ وَيُعَلِّمُونَ الْجَاهِلَ، وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ مُعَلِّمًا، هَؤُلَاءِ أَفْضَلُ، فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُمْ»

وَلَا تَصْحَبِ الْفَاجِرَ فَيَحْمِلَكَ عَلَى الْفُجُورِ، وَلَا تُفْشِ إِلَيْهِ سِرَّكَ، وَشَاوِرْ فِي أَمْرِكَ الَّذِينَ يَخْشَوْنَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى»

1413 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAdī informed us; Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl informed us, from Isḥāq ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ḥārith,
قَالَ: لَقِيَ اِبْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كَعْبًا، فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ إِنِّي سَائِلُكَ عَنْ ثَلَاثِ آيَاتٍ فِي الْقُرْآنِ،
qāla: laqiya ibnu ʿabbāsin kaʿban, faqāla: yā ʾabā ʾisḥāqa ʾinnī sāʾiluka ʿan thalāthi ʾāyātin fī al-qurʾāni,
who said: Ibn ʿAbbās met Kaʿb and said, “Abū Isḥāq, I want to ask you about three verses in the Qurʾān.”
قَالَ: «مَا هِيَ؟»
qāla: «mā hiya?»
Kaʿb asked, “Which are they?”
قَالَ: قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا} [الدُّخَانِ: ٢٤]
qāla: qawluhu taʿālā: {wa-truki al-baḥra rahwan} [al-dukhāni: 24]
Ibn ʿAbbās said: “His words, exalted is He, ‘Leave the sea open’” [al-Dukhān 44:24].
قَالَ: «طَرِيقًا» ،
qāla: «ṭarīqan» ,
Kaʿb said, “As a pathway.”
وَقَوْلُهُ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ {لَا يَفْتُرُونَ} [الْأَنْبِيَاءِ: ٢٠] {وَلَا يَسْأَمُونَ} ،
waqawluhu li-l-malāʾikati {lā yafturūna} [al-ʾanbiyāʾi: 20] {walā yasʾamūna} ,
And His words concerning the angels, “They never flag” [al-Anbiyāʾ 21:20] and “never tire.”
قَالَ: «إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ أُلْهِمُوا ذَلِكَ كَمَا أُلْهِمَ بَنُو آدَمَ الطَّرْفُ وَالنَّفْسُ، فَهَلْ يُؤْذِيكَ طَرْفُكَ؟ هَلْ تُؤْذِيكَ نَفْسُكَ؟»
qāla: «ʾinna al-malāʾikata ʾulhimū dhālika kamā ʾulhima banū ʾādama al-ṭarfu wa-al-nafsu, fahal yuʾdhīka ṭarfuka? hal tuʾdhīka nafsuka?»
Kaʿb replied, “The angels were given that capacity instinctively, just as humans were given blinking and breathing. Does blinking hurt you? Does breathing hurt you?” [The source vocalizes the words rendered “breathing” as al-nafs and nafsuka, “self” and “yourself”; the intended reading is uncertain.]
قَالَ: وَقَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {ثُمَّ أَوْرَثْنَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِينَ اِصْطَفَيْنَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا} [فَاطِرٍ: ٣٢] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ} [فَاطِرٍ: ٣٢]
qāla: waqawluhu taʿālā: {thumma ʾawrathnā al-kitāba al-ladhīna iṣṭafaynā min ʿibādinā} [fāṭirin: 32] ʾilā qawlihi: {biʾidhni allāhi} [fāṭirin: 32]
Ibn ʿAbbās said: “And His words, exalted is He, ‘Then We gave the Book as an inheritance to those of Our servants whom We chose’ through ‘by God’s permission’” [Fāṭir 35:32].
قَالَ: «لَامَسَتْ مَنَاكِبُهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَرَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ وَفُضِّلُوا بِأَعْمَالِهِمْ»
qāla: «lāmasat manākibuhum fī al-jannati warabbi al-kaʿbati wafuḍḍilū biʾaʿmālihim»
Kaʿb replied, “By the Lord of the Kaʿbah, their shoulders will touch in Paradise, although they will be distinguished by their deeds.”
١٤١٤ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ :
1414 - ḥaddathanā al-ḥusaynu, ʾakhbaranā muḥammadu bnu ʾabī ʿadiyyin, ḥaddathanā ʿawfun, ʿani al-ḥasani qāla :
1414 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Abī ʿAdī informed us; ʿAwf narrated to us, from al-Ḥasan, who said:
«الظَّالِمُ لِنَفْسِهِ الْمُنَافِقُ، وَالسَّابِقُ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ، وَالْمُقْتَصِدُ هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ»
«al-ẓālimu linafsihi al-munāfiqu, wa-al-sābiqu bi-al-khayrāti, wa-al-muqtaṣidu hum ʾaṣḥābu al-jannati»
“The one who wrongs himself is the hypocrite, while those foremost in good deeds and those who take a middle course are the people of Paradise.”
١٤١٥ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَاصِمٌ الْأَحْوَلُ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ قَالَ:

1415 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; Yazīd ibn Hārūn informed us; ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal informed us, from Abū ʿUthmān al-Nahdī, who said:
“ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيُعْطَى كِتَابَهُ فِي سِتْرٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، فَيَقْرَأُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ فَيَتَغَيَّرُ لَوْنُهُ،
“ ʾinna al-muʾmina layuʿṭā kitābahu fī sitrin mina allāhi taʿālā, fayaqraʾu sayyiʾātihi fayataghayyaru lawnuhu,
“The believer receives his record under God Most High’s cover. He reads his bad deeds, and his face changes color.
ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَيَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ لَوْنُهُ،
thumma yaqraʾu ḥasanātihi fayarjiʿu ʾilayhi lawnuhu,
Then he reads his good deeds and his color returns.
ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ، وَإِذَا سَيِّئَاتُهُ قَدْ بُدِّلَتْ حَسَنَاتٍ، فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ: {هَاؤُمُ اِقْرَءُوا كِتَابِيَهْ} ”
thumma yanẓuru, waʾidhā sayyiʾātuhu qad buddilat ḥasanātin, faʿinda dhālika yaqūlu: {hāʾumu iqraʾū kitābiyah} ”
Then he looks again and finds his bad deeds have become good deeds. At that point he says, ‘Here, read my record!’”
١٤١٦ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ عَنْتَرَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، أَخْبَرَنَا زَاذَانُ أَبُو عُمَرَ

1416 — al-Ḥusayn narrated to us; ʿĪsā ibn Yūnus informed us, from Hārūn ibn ʿAntarah, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Sāʾib; Zādhān Abū ʿUmar informed us
قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، فَوَجَدْتُ أَصْحَابَ الْيُمْنَةِ وَالْخَزِّ قَدْ سَبَقُوا إِلَى الْمَجَالِسِ،
qāla: dakhaltu ʿalā ʿabdi allāhi bni masʿūdin, fawajadtu ʾaṣḥāba al-yumnati wa-al-khazzi qad sabaqū ʾilā al-majālisi,
and said: I visited ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd and found those wearing al-yumnah cloth and silk had taken the seats before me.
فَنَادَيْتُهُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى أَدْنَيْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ، وَأَقْصَيْتَنِي،
fanādaytuhu: yā ʿabda allāhi bna masʿūdin, min ʾajli ʾannī rajulun ʾaʿmā ʾadnayta hāʾulāʾi, waʾaqṣaytanī,
I called out, “ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd, have you brought these people close and left me far away because I am blind?”
قَالَ: «اُدْنُهْ» فَدَنَوْتُ حَتَّى مَا كَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ جَلِيسٌ،
qāla: «udnuh» fadanawtu ḥattā mā kāna baynī wabaynahu jalīsun,
He said, “Come closer.” I drew near until no one sat between us.
فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «يُؤْخَذُ بِيَدِ الْعَبْدِ وَالْأَمَةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُنْصَبَانِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ،

I heard him say, “On the Day of Resurrection, male and female servants will be taken by the hand and made to stand before all the generations, first and last.
ثُمَّ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ هَذَا فُلَانُ اِبْنُ فُلَانٍ، فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ قِبَلَهُ حَقٌّ فَلْيَأْتِ إِلَى حَقِّهِ،
thumma yunādī munādin hādhā fulānu ibnu fulānin, faman kāna lahu qibalahu ḥaqqun falyaʾti ʾilā ḥaqqihi,
A herald will call out: This is So-and-so, son of So-and-so. Anyone with a claim against this person should come forward for what is due.
فَتَفْرَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ أَنْ يَدُورَ لَهَا عَلَى زَوْجِهَا الْحَقُّ، أَوْ عَلَى اِبْنِهَا، أَوْ عَلَى أُخْتِهَا» ،
fatafraḥu al-marʾatu ʾan yadūra lahā ʿalā zawjihā al-ḥaqqu, ʾaw ʿalā ibnihā, ʾaw ʿalā ʾukhtihā» ,
A woman will even be glad to have a claim against her husband, her son, or her sister.”
ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: {فَلَا أَنْسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلَا يَتَسَاءَلُونَ} [الْمُؤْمِنُونَ: ١٠١] ،
thumma qaraʾa ʿabdu allāhi: {falā ʾansāba baynahum yawmaʾidhin walā yatasāʾalūna} [al-muʾminūna: 101] ,
Then ʿAbd Allāh recited, “On that day there will be no kinship between them, nor will they question one another” [al-Muʾminūn 23:101].
“ فَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ لِلْعَبْدِ: اِئْتِ هَؤُلَاءِ حُقُوقَهُمْ، فَيَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، مِنْ أَيْنَ آتِيهِمْ حُقُوقَهُمْ؟

“The Lord will tell the servant: Give these people their due. He will say: My Lord, from where can I give them what is due?
فَيَقُولُ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ: خُذُوا مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِ الصَّالِحَةِ فَأَعْطُوا كُلَّ إِنْسَانٍ بِقَدْرِ طِلْبَتِهِ،
fayaqūlu li-l-malāʾikati: khudhū min ʾaʿmālihi al-ṣāliḥati faʾaʿṭū kulla ʾinsānin biqadri ṭilbatihi,
He will tell the angels: Take from his good deeds and give each person according to the claim.
فَإِنْ يَكُنْ كَانَ وَلِيًّا لِلَّهِ فَضَلَتْ لَهُ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ يُضَاعِفُهُ اللَّهُ لَهُ حَتَّى يُدْخِلَهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ ”،
faʾin yakun kāna waliyyan li-llāhi faḍalat lahu mithqālu ḥabbatin min khardalin yuḍāʿifuhu allāhu lahu ḥattā yudkhilahu bihi al-jannata ”,
If he was a friend of God and even a mustard seed’s weight remains, God will multiply it for him until He admits him to Paradise through it.”
ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: {وَيُؤْتِ مِنْ لَدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [النِّسَاءِ: ٤٠]
thumma qaraʾa ʿabdu allāhi: {wayuʾti min ladunhu ʾajran ʿaẓīman} [al-nisāʾi: 40]
Then ʿAbd Allāh recited, “And He grants from Himself a great reward” [al-Nisāʾ 4:40].
“ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَبْدًا شَقِيًّا قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ: يَا رَبَّنَا فَنِيَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ، وَبَقِيَ طَالِبُونَ كَثِيرٌ،
“ waʾin kāna ʿabdan shaqiyyan qālati al-malāʾikatu: yā rabbanā faniyat ḥasanātuhu, wabaqiya ṭālibūna kathīrun,
“If he is a wretched servant, the angels will say: Our Lord, his good deeds are exhausted, but many claimants remain.
فَيَقُولُ: خُذُوا مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِمُ السَّيِّئَةِ فَأَضِيفُوهَا إِلَى عَمَلِهِ السَّيِّئِ، ثُمَّ صُكُّوا بِهِ إِلَى النَّارِ صَكًّا ”
fayaqūlu: khudhū min ʾaʿmālihimu al-sayyiʾati faʾaḍīfūhā ʾilā ʿamalihi al-sayyiʾi, thumma ṣukkū bihi ʾilā al-nāri ṣakkan ”
He will say: Take from their bad deeds and add them to his bad deeds, then cast him into the Fire with force.”

«lā yadkhulu al-nāra ʾaḥadun min ʾaṣḥābi al-shajarati al-ladhīna bāyaʿū taḥtahā» ,
“None of the people who pledged allegiance beneath the tree will enter the Fire.”

qālat ḥafṣatu: balā yā rasūla allāhi, fa-ntaharahā,
Ḥafṣah said, “But they will, Messenger of God.” He rebuked her.
قَالَتْ: أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ: {وَإِنْ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا وَارِدُهَا} [مَرْيَمَ: ٧١]
qālat: ʾalaysa allāhu yaqūlu: {waʾin minkum ʾillā wāriduhā} [maryama: 71]
She asked, “Does God not say, ‘There is none of you but will come to it’?” [Maryam 19:71].
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {ثُمَّ نُنَجِّي الَّذِينَ اِتَّقَوْا وَنَذَرُ الظَّالِمِينَ فِيهَا جِثِيًّا} [مَرْيَمَ: ٧٢]

“On the Day of Resurrection, a wrongdoer will come to the bridge over Gehenna, between darkness and rough ground. The person he wronged will meet him, identify him, and make known the wrong done to him.
فَمَا يَبْرَحُ الَّذِينَ ظُلِمُوا بِالَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا حَتَّى يَنْتَزِعُوا مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ،
