| SahihAlBukhari-017-001-6867 | | Narrated Ibn Abbas: Abu Sufyan narrated to me personally; saying; I set out during the Truce that had been concluded between me and Allah Messenger ﷺ. While I was in Sham; a letter sent by the Prophet ﷺ was brought to Heraclius. Dihya AlKalbi had brought and given it to the governor of Busra; and the latter forwarded it to Heraclius. Heraclius said; Is there anyone from the people of this man who claims to be a prophet? The people replied; Yes. So I along with some of Quraishi men were called and we entered upon Heraclius; and we were seated in front of him. Then he said; Who amongst you is the nearest relative to the man who claims to be a prophet? So they made me sit in front of him and made my companions sit behind me. Then he called upon his translator and said to him. Tell them i.e. Abu Sufyan companions that I am going to ask him i.e. Abu Sufyan regarding that man who claims to be a prophet. So; if he tell me a lie; they should contradict him instantly. By Allah; had I not been afraid that my companions would consider me a liar; I would have told lies. Heraclius then said to his translator; Ask him: What is his i.e. the Prophets family status amongst you? I said; He belongs to a noble family amongst us. Heraclius said; Was any of his ancestors a king? I said; No. He said; Did you ever accuse him of telling lies before his saying what he has said? I said; No. He said; Do the nobles follow him or the poor people? I said; It is the poor who followed him. He said; Is the number of his follower increasing or decreasing? I said; The are increasing. He said; Does anyone renounce his religion i.e. Islam after embracing it; being displeased with it? I said; No. He said; Did you fight with him? I replied; Yes. He said; How was your fighting with him? I said; The fighting between us was undecided and victory was shared by him and us by turns. He inflicts casualties upon us and we inflict casualties upon him. He said; Did he ever betray? I said; No; but now we are away from him in this truce and we do not know what he will do in it Abu Sufyan added; By Allah; I was not able to insert in my speech a word against him except that. Heraclius said; Did anybody else amongst you ever claimed the same i.e. Islam before him? I said; No. Then Heraclius told his translator to tell me i.e. Abu Sufyan ; I asked you about his family status amongst you; and you told me that he comes from a noble family amongst you Verily; all Apostles come from the noblest family among their people. Then I asked you whether any of his ancestors was a king; and you denied that. Thereupon I thought that had one of his fore-fathers been a king; I would have said that he i.e. Muhammad was seeking to rule the kingdom of his fore-fathers. Then I asked you regarding his followers; whether they were the noble or the poor among the people; and you said that they were only the poor who follow him. In fact; such are the followers of the Apostles. Then I asked you whether you have ever accused him of telling lies before saying what he said; and your reply was in the negative. Therefore; I took for granted that a man who did not tell a lie about others; could ever tell a lie about Allah. Then I asked you whether anyone of his followers had renounced his religion i.e. Islam after embracing it; being displeased with it; and you denied that. And such is Faith when it mixes with the cheerfulness of the hearts. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You claimed that they were increasing. That is the way of true faith till it is complete. Then I asked you whether you had ever fought with him; and you claimed that you had fought with him and the battle between you and him was undecided and the victory was shared by you and him in turns; he inflicted casual ties upon you and you inflicted casualties upon them. Such is the case with the Apostles; they are out to test and the final victory is for them. Then I asked you whether he had ever betrayed; you claimed that he had never betrayed. I need; Apostles never betray. Then I asked you whether anyone had said this statement before him; and you denied that. Thereupon I thought if somebody had said that statement before him; then I would have said that he was but a man copying some sayings said before him. Abu Safyan said; Heraclius then asked me; What does he order you to do? I said; He orders us to offer prayers and to pay Zakat and to keep good relationship with the Kith and kin and to be chaste. Then Heraclius said; If whatever you have said; is true; he is really a prophet; and I knew that he i.e. the Prophet ﷺ was going to appear; but I never thought that he would be from amongst you. If I were certain that I can reach him; I would like to meet him and if I were with him; I would wash his feet; and his kingdom will expand surely to what is under my feet. Then Heraclius asked for the letter of Allah Messenger ﷺ and read it wherein was written: In the Name of Allah; the Most Beneficent; the Most Merciful. This letter is from Muhammad; Apostle of Allah; to Heraclius; the sovereign of Byzantine........ ﷺ who follows the Right Path. Now then; I call you to embrace Islam. Embrace Islam and you will be saved from Allah Punishment ; embrace Islam; and Allah will give you a double reward; but if you reject this; you will be responsible for the sins of all the people of your kingdom Allah Statement :-O the people of the Scripture Jews and Christians ! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship None but Allah....bear witness that we are Muslims. 3.64 When he finished reading the letter; voices grew louder near him and there was a great hue and cry; and we were ordered to go out. Abu Sufyan added; While coming out; I said to my companions; The situation of Ibn Abu Kabsha i.e. Muhammad has become strong; even the king of Banu Al14 Asfar is afraid of him. So I continued to believe that Allah Messenger ﷺ would be victorious; till Allah made me embrace Islam. AlZuhri said; Heraclius then invited all the chiefs of the Byzantines and had them assembled in his house and said; O group of Byzantines! Do you wish to have a permanent success and guidance and that your kingdom should remain with you? Immediately after hearing that ; they rushed towards the gate like onagers; but they found them closed. Heraclius then said; Bring them back to me. So he called them and said; I just wanted to test the strength of your adherence to your religion. Now I have observed of you that which I like. Then the people fell in prostration before him and became pleased with him.

| SahihAlBukhari-017-001-7009 | | Narrated Urwa Bin AlZubair: That when he asked Aisha about the statement of Allah Until when the Apostles gave up hope of their people. 12.110 she told him its meaning ; Urwa added; I said; Did they Apostles suspect that they were betrayed by Allah or that they were treated as liars by their people ? Aisha said; They suspected that they were treated as liars by their people ; I said; But they were sure that their people treated them as liars and it was not a matter of suspicion. She said; Yes; upon my life they were sure about it. I said to her. So they Apostles suspected that they were betrayed by Allah. She said; Allah forbid! The Apostles never suspected their Lord of such a thing. I said; What about this Verse then? She said; It is about the Apostles followers who believed in their Lord and trusted their Apostles; but the period of trials was prolonged and victory was delayed till the Apostles gave up all hope of converting those of the people who disbelieved them and the Apostles thought that their followers treated them as liars; thereupon Allah help came to them. | The Chapter on Truth And Hypocrisy And Liars in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Prophetic Commentary on the Quran Tafseer of the Prophet in Sahih AlBukhari |
| SahihAlBukhari-017-001-7026 | | Narrated Abu Huraira: Some cooked meat was brought to Allah Apostle and the meat of a forearm was presented to him as he used to like it. He ate a morsel of it and said; I will be the chief of all the people on the Day of Resurrection. Do you know the reason for it? Allah will gather all the human being of early generations as well as late generation on one plain so that the announcer will be able to make them all-hear his voice and the watcher will be able to see all of them. The sun will come so close to the people that they will suffer such distress and trouble as they will not be able to bear or stand. Then the people will say; Dont you see to what state you have reached? Wont you look for someone who can intercede for you with your Lord Some people will say to some others; Go to Adam. So they will go to Adam and say to him. You are the father of mankind; Allah created you with His Own Hand; and breathed into you of His Spirit meaning the spirit which he created for you ; and ordered the angels to prostrate before you; so please intercede for us with your Lord. Dont you see in what state we are? Dont you see what condition we have reached? Adam will say; Today my Lord has become angry as He has never become before; nor will ever become thereafter. He forbade me to eat of the fruit of the tree; but I disobeyed Him. Myself! Myself! Myself! I am preoccuied with my own problems. Go to someone else; go to Noah. So they will go to Noah and say to him ; O Noah! You are the first of Allah Messengers to the people of the earth; and Allah has named you a thankful slave; please intercede for us with your Lord. Dont you see in what state we are? He will say. Today my Lord has become angry as He has never become nor will ever become thereafter. I had in the world the right to make one definitely accepted invocation; and I made it against my nation. Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Abraham. They will go to Abraham and say; O Abraham! You are Allah Messenger ﷺ and His Khalil from among the people of the earth; so please intercede for us with your Lord. Dont you see in what state we are? He will say to them; My Lord has today become angry as He has never become before; nor will ever become thereafter. I had told three lies Abu Haiyan the sub-narrator mentioned them in the Hadith Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Moses. The people will then go to Moses and say; O Moses! You art Allah Messenger ﷺ and Allah gave you superiority above the others with this message and with His direct Talk to you; please intercede for us with your Lord Dont you see in what state we are? Moses will say; My Lord has today become angry as He has never become before; nor will become thereafter; I killed a person whom I had not been ordered to kill. Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Jesus. So they will go to Jesus and say; O Jesus! You are Allah Messenger ﷺ and His Word which He sent to Mary; and a superior soul created by Him; and you talked to the people while still young in the cradle. Please intercede for us with your Lord. Dont you see in what state we are? Jesus will say. My Lord has today become angry as He has never become before nor will ever become thereafter. Jesus will not mention any sin; but will say; Myself! Myself! Myself! Go to someone else; go to Muhammad. So they will come to me and say; O Muhammad ! You are Allah Messenger ﷺ and the last of the prophets; and Allah forgave your early and late sins. Please intercede for us with your Lord. Dont you see in what state we are? The Prophet ﷺ added; Then I will go beneath Allah Throne and fall in prostration before my Lord. And then Allah will guide me to such praises and glorification to Him as He has never guided anybody else before me. Then it will be said; O Muhammad Raise your head. Ask; and it will be granted. Intercede and It your intercession will be accepted. So I will raise my head and Say; My followers; O my Lord! My followers; O my Lord. It will be said; O Muhammad! Let those of your followers who have no accounts; enter through such a gate of the gates of Paradise as lies on the right; and they will share the other gates with the people. The Prophet ﷺ further said; By Him in Whose Hand my soul is; the distance between every two gate-posts of Paradise is like the distance between Mecca and Busra in Sham. | The Chapter on Allah And Prophets Anger in HodHood Indexing, The Book of Prophetic Commentary on the Quran Tafseer of the Prophet in Sahih AlBukhari |
| SahihAlBukhari-017-001-840 | | Narrated Abu Dhar: Allah Messenger ﷺ said; While I was at Mecca the roof of my house was opened and Gabriel descended; opened my chest; and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith and having poured its contents into my chest; he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the nearest heaven; when I reached the nearest heaven; Gabriel said to the gatekeeper of the heaven; Open the gate. The gatekeeper asked; Who is it? Gabriel answered: Gabriel. He asked; Is there anyone with you? Gabriel replied; Yes; Muhammad I is with me. He asked; Has he been called? Gabriel said; Yes. So the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven and there we saw a man sitting with some people on his right and some on his left. When he looked towards his right; he laughed and when he looked toward his left he wept. Then he said; Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son. I asked Gabriel; Who is he? He replied; He is Adam and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on his right are the people of Paradise and those on his left are the people of Hell and when he looks towards his right he laughs and when he looks towards his left he weeps. Then he ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and he Gabriel said to its gatekeeper; Open the gate. The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven had said and he opened the gate. Anas said: Abu Dhar added that the Prophet ﷺ met Adam; Idris; Moses; Jesus and Abraham; he Abu Dhar did not mention on which heaven they were but he mentioned that he the Prophet ﷺ met Adam on the nearest heaven and Abraham on the sixth heaven. Anas said; When Gabriel along with the Prophet ﷺ passed by Idris; the latter said; Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious brother. The Prophet ﷺ asked; Who is he? Gabriel replied; He is Idris. The Prophet ﷺ added; I passed by Moses and he said; Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious brother. I asked Gabriel; Who is he? Gabriel replied; He is Moses. Then I passed by Jesus and he said; Welcome! O pious brother and pious Prophet. I asked; Who is he? Gabriel replied; He is Jesus. Then I passed by Abraham and he said; Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son. I asked Gabriel; Who is he? Gabriel replied; He is Abraham. The Prophet ﷺ added; Then Gabriel ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of the pens. Ibn Hazm and Anas Bin Malik said: The Prophet ﷺ said; Then Allah enjoined fifty prayers on my followers when I returned with this order of Allah; I passed by Moses who asked me; What has Allah enjoined on your followers? I replied; He has enjoined fifty prayers on them. Moses said; Go back to your Lord and appeal for reduction for your followers will not be able to bear it. So I went back to Allah and requested for reduction and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Moses again and informed him about it; he said; Go back to your Lord as your followers will not be able to bear it. So I returned to Allah and requested for further reduction and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Moses and he said to me: Return to your Lord; for your followers will not be able to bear it. So I returned to Allah and He said; These are five prayers and they are all equal to fifty in reward for My Word does not change. I returned to Moses and he told me to go back once again. I replied; Now I feel shy of asking my Lord again. Then Gabriel took me till we reached Sidrat-il-Muntaha Lote tree of; the utmost boundary which was shrouded in colors; indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small tents or walls made of pearls and its earth was of musk. | The Chapter on Heaven Gabriel Moses And Abraham in HodHood Indexing, Chapter on How AlSalat the Prayer was prescribed on the night of AlIsra miraculous night journey of the Prophet pbuh to Jerusalem and then to the heavens in Sahih AlBukhari |
