Sahih Muslim

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَشْعَثِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ وَابْنِ أَبْجَرَ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ رِوَايَةً إِنْ شَائَ اللَّهُ ح و حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ سَمِعَا الشَّعْبِيَّ يُخْبِرُ عَنْ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ و حَدَّثَنِي بِشْرُ بْنُ الْحَکَمِ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ وَابْنُ أَبْجَرَ سَمِعَا الشَّعْبِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ يُخْبِرُ بِهِ النَّاسَ عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ رَفَعَهُ أَحَدُهُمَا أُرَاهُ ابْنَ أَبْجَرَ قَالَ سَأَلَ مُوسَی رَبَّهُ مَا أَدْنَی أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْزِلَةً قَالَ هُوَ رَجُلٌ يَجِيئُ بَعْدَ مَا أُدْخِلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ ادْخُلْ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ أَيْ رَبِّ کَيْفَ وَقَدْ نَزَلَ النَّاسُ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَأَخَذُوا أَخَذَاتِهِمْ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ أَتَرْضَی أَنْ يَکُونَ لَکَ مِثْلُ مُلْکِ مَلِکٍ مِنْ مُلُوکِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ رَضِيتُ رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ لَکَ ذَلِکَ وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ وَمِثْلُهُ فَقَالَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ رَضِيتُ رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ هَذَا لَکَ وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهِ وَلَکَ مَا اشْتَهَتْ نَفْسُکَ وَلَذَّتْ عَيْنُکَ فَيَقُولُ رَضِيتُ رَبِّ قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَعْلَاهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً قَالَ أُولَئِکَ الَّذِينَ أَرَدْتُ غَرَسْتُ کَرَامَتَهُمْ بِيَدِي وَخَتَمْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمْ تَرَ عَيْنٌ وَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ أُذُنٌ وَلَمْ يَخْطُرْ عَلَی قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ قَالَ وَمِصْدَاقُهُ فِي کِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ الْآيَةَ

It is transmitted from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that, verily, the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Amongst the inhabitants of Paradise the lowest in rank will be the person whose face Allah would turn away from the Fire towards the Paradise, and make a shady tree appear before him. He would say: O my Lord! direct my steps to this tree so that I (should enjoy) its shade; and the rest of the hadith is like that narrated by Ibn Mas'ud, but he did not mention: He (Allah) would say: O son of Adam! what will bring an end to your making requests to Me to the end of the tradition. In it, he added: Allah will remind him: Ask such and such, and when his expectations would be realised, Allah would say: That is for you, and ten times as much. He said that he would then enter his house and his two wives with large and dark eyes would enter after him. They will say: Praise be to Allah, Who has created you for us and us for you. He will say: No one has been given the like of what I have been given.

الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ رِوَايَةً ← الشَّعْبِيِّ ← مُطَرِّفٍ وَابْنِ أَبْجَرَ ← سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ← سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْأَشْعَثِيُّ

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ يَقُولُا عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ إِنَّ مُوسَی عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام سَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْ أَخَسِّ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنْهَا حَظًّا وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِنَحْوِهِ

The same hadith has been by AlMughirah bin Shu’bah attributing it to the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ).

الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ ← الشَّعْبِيِّ ← عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ أَبْجَرَ ← عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ ← أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ،

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ آخِرَ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ دُخُولًا الْجَنَّةَ وَآخِرَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ خُرُوجًا مِنْهَا رَجُلٌ يُؤْتَی بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقَالُ اعْرِضُوا عَلَيْهِ صِغَارَ ذُنُوبِهِ وَارْفَعُوا عَنْهُ کِبَارَهَا فَتُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ صِغَارُ ذُنُوبِهِ فَيُقَالُ عَمِلْتَ يَوْمَ کَذَا وَکَذَا کَذَا وَکَذَا وَعَمِلْتَ يَوْمَ کَذَا وَکَذَا کَذَا وَکَذَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يُنْکِرَ وَهُوَ مُشْفِقٌ مِنْ کِبَارِ ذُنُوبِهِ أَنْ تُعْرَضَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ فَإِنَّ لَکَ مَکَانَ کُلِّ سَيِّئَةٍ حَسَنَةً فَيَقُولُ رَبِّ قَدْ عَمِلْتُ أَشْيَائَ لَا أَرَاهَا هَا هُنَا فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَحِکَ حَتَّی بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ

Sha'bi reported he had heard al-Mughira b. Shu'ba say on the pulpit that Moses (peace be upon him) had asked Allah, Exalted and Great, about the reward of the lowest of the inhabitants of Paradise, and the remaining part of hadith is the same (as narrated) above.

اَبِیْ ذَرٍّ ← الْمَعْرُورِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ ← الْاَعْمَشِ ← أَبِي ← مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ،

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَوَکِيعٌ ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ ح و حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ کِلَاهُمَا عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ

Abu Dharr reported that Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: I know the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it and the last of the inhabitants of Hell to come out of it. He is a man who would be brought on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said: Present his minor sins to him, and withhold from him his serious sins. Then the minor sins would be placed before him, and it would be said: On such and such a day you did so and so and on such and such a day you did so and so. He would say: Yes. It will not be possible for him to deny, while he would be afraid lest serious sins should be presented before him. It would be said to him: In place of every evil deed you will have a good deed. He will say: My Lord! I have done things I do not see here. I indeed saw the Messenger of Allah laugh till his front teeth were exposed.

حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ کِلَاهُمَا عَنْ رَوْحٍ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ الْقَيْسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُسْأَلُ عَنْ الْوُرُودِ فَقَالَ نَجِيئُ نَحْنُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَنْ کَذَا وَکَذَا انْظُرْ أَيْ ذَلِکَ فَوْقَ النَّاسِ قَالَ فَتُدْعَی الْأُمَمُ بِأَوْثَانِهَا وَمَا کَانَتْ تَعْبُدُ الْأَوَّلُ فَالْأَوَّلُ ثُمَّ يَأْتِينَا رَبُّنَا بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ فَيَقُولُ مَنْ تَنْظُرُونَ فَيَقُولُونَ نَنْظُرُ رَبَّنَا فَيَقُولُ أَنَا رَبُّکُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ حَتَّی نَنْظُرَ إِلَيْکَ فَيَتَجَلَّی لَهُمْ يَضْحَکُ قَالَ فَيَنْطَلِقُ بِهِمْ وَيَتَّبِعُونَهُ وَيُعْطَی کُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مِنْهُمْ مُنَافِقٍ أَوْ مُؤْمِنٍ نُورًا ثُمَّ يَتَّبِعُونَهُ وَعَلَی جِسْرِ جَهَنَّمَ کَلَالِيبُ وَحَسَکٌ تَأْخُذُ مَنْ شَائَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يُطْفَأُ نُورُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ ثُمَّ يَنْجُو الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَتَنْجُو أَوَّلُ زُمْرَةٍ وُجُوهُهُمْ کَالْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا لَا يُحَاسَبُونَ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ کَأَضْوَإِ نَجْمٍ فِي السَّمَائِ ثُمَّ کَذَلِکَ ثُمَّ تَحِلُّ الشَّفَاعَةُ وَيَشْفَعُونَ حَتَّی يَخْرُجَ مِنْ النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَکَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِنْ الْخَيْرِ مَا يَزِنُ شَعِيرَةً فَيُجْعَلُونَ بِفِنَائِ الْجَنَّةِ وَيَجْعَلُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ يَرُشُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ الْمَائَ حَتَّی يَنْبُتُوا نَبَاتَ الشَّيْئِ فِي السَّيْلِ وَيَذْهَبُ حُرَاقُهُ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُ حَتَّی تُجْعَلَ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا وَعَشَرَةُ أَمْثَالِهَا مَعَهَا

This hadith is also narrated by another chain of narrators, i. e. Ibn Numair, Abu Mu'awiya, Waki', Abu Bakr b. Abi Shaiba, Abu Kuraib, A'mash.

أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ ← ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، ← رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ الْقَيْسِيُّ ← عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ← رَوْحٌ، ← عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ کِلَاهُمَا

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُا سَمِعَهُ مِنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِأُذُنِهِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُخْرِجُ نَاسًا مِنْ النَّارِ فَيُدْخِلَهُمْ الْجَنَّةَ

It is reported on the authority of Abu Zubair that he heard from Jabir b 'Abdullah, who was asked about the arrival (of people on the Day of Resurrection). He said. We would come on the Day of Resurrection like this, like this, and see. carefully. that which concerns elevated people . He (the narrator) said: Then the people would be summoned along with their idols whom they worshipped, one after another. Then our Lord would come to us and say: Whom are you waiting for? They would say: We are waiting for our Lord. He would say: I am your Lord. They would say: (We are not sure) till we gaze at Thee, and He would manifest Himself to them smilingly, and would go along with them and they would follow Him; and every person, whether a hypocrite or a believer, would be endowed with a light, and there would be spikes and hooks on the bridge of the Hell, which would catch hold of those whom Allah willed. Then the light of the hypocrites would be extinguished, and the believers would secure salvation. and the first group to achieve it would comprise seventy thousand men who would have the brightness of full moon on their faces, and they would not be called to account. Then the people immediately following them would have their faces as the brightest stars in the heaven. This is how (the groups would follow one after another). Then the stage of intercession would come, and they (who are permitted to intercede) would intercede, till he who had declared: There is no god but Allah and had in his heart virtue of the weight of a barley grain would come out of the Fire. They would be then brought in the courtyard of Paradise and the inhabitants of Paradise would begin to sprinkle water over them till they would sprout like the sprouting of a thing in flood water, and their burns would disappear. They would ask their Lord till they would be granted (the bounties) of the world and with it ten more besides it.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ أَسَمِعْتَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُخْرِجُ قَوْمًا مِنْ النَّارِ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ

Jabir reported that he had heard with his ears the Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) saying: Allah will bring out people from the Fire and admit them into Paradise.

Hammad b. Zaid, reported: I said to 'Amr b. Dinar: Did you hear Jabir b. 'Abdullah narrating from the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) that Allah would bring out people from the Fire through intercession. He said: Yes.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah repotted: The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Verily people would be brought out from the Fire, and they would be burnt except the exterior (surfaces, fronts) of their faces; and they would enter Paradise.

Yazid al-Faqir said: This view of the Khawarij (i.e. those who commit major sins and would be eternally doomed to Hell) had obsessed me, and we set out in a large group intending to perform the Hajj and then going to the people (for the propagation of the views of the Khawarij). He (the narrator) said: We happened to past by Medina and found there Jabir b. 'Abdullah sitting near a column narrating to the people (the ahadith of) the Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). When he mentioned the inhabitants of Hell, I said: O companion of the Messenger of Allah what is this that you narrate, whereas Allah says: Verily whomsoever Thou shall commit to the Fire, Thou indeed humiliateth him (al-Qur'an, iii. 192); and All those who endeavored to get out of that would be thrown back into it (al-Qur'an, xxxi i. 20)? So what is it that you say? He said: Have you read the Qur'an? I said: Yes. He said: Have you heard about the (exalted) position of Muhammad ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), i.e. to which Allah would raise, him? I said: Yes. He said: Verily the position of Muhammad ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) is that of great glory and that is by which Allah would bring out whomsoever He would wish to bring out. He then described the Path (the Bridge) and the passing of the people over it, and said: I am afraid I may not have remembered (other things) but this much is still in my memory that people would come out of the Hell after having gone into it, and he said: They would come out of it as if they were the wood of the ebony tree. He (the narrator said: They would enter a river, one or the rivers of Paradise, and would bathe in it, and then come out as if they were (white like) paper. We then turned back and said: Woe be upon you! How can this old man tell a lie against the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ )? We turned back (from the views of the Khawarij), and by God every one of us abandoned this (band of Khawarij) except one man. A similar statement has been made by Abu Nu'aim.

It is narrated on the authority of Anas b. Malik that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Four persons would be brought out from the Fire and would be presented to Allah. One of them would turn (towards the He) ) ) and say: O my Lord, when Thou hast brought me out from it, do not throw me back into it, and Allah would rescue him from it.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْتَمِعُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَهْتَمُّونَ بِذَلِکَ أَوْ يُلْهَمُونَ ذَلِکَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَوَانَةَ وَقَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ ثُمَّ آتِيهِ الرَّابِعَةَ أَوْ أَعُودُ الرَّابِعَةَ فَأَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا بَقِيَ إِلَّا مَنْ حَبَسَهُ الْقُرْآنُ

Anas b Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: Allah would gather people on the Day of Resurrection and they would be concerned about it, and Ibn Ubaid said. They would get a Divine inspiration about it, and would say: If we could seek intercession with our Lord, we may be relieved from this predicament of ours. He (the Holy Prophet) said: They would come to Adam andsay, Thou art Adam, the father of mankind. Allah created thee with His own hand and breathed unto thee of His Spirit and commanded the angels and they prostrated before thee. So intercede for us with thy Lords, that He may relieve us from this position of ours. He would say: I am not in a position to do this, and would recall his error, and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that; go to Noah the first messenger (after me) sent by Allah. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So they would come to Noah (peace be upon him). He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and recall his fault which he had committed, and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that, (and would say): You better go to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) whom Allah took for a friend. They would come to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and he would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and would recall his fault that he had committed and would, therefore, fight shy of his Lord on that account (and would say): You better go to Moses (peace be upon him) with whom Allah conversed and con- ferred Torah upon him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: So they would come to Moses (peace be upon him) He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you, and would recall his fault that he had committed and would fight shy of his Lord on account of that (and would say): You better go to Jesus, the Spirit of Allah and His word He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you; you better go to Muhammad ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), a servant whose former and later sins have been forgiven. He (the narrator) said: The Messenger or Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) observed: So they would come to me and I would ask the permission of my Lord and it would be granted to me, and when I would see Him, I would fall down in prostration, and He (Allah) would leave me thus as long as He would wish, and then it would be said: O Muhammad, raise your head, say and you would be heard; ask and it would be granted; intercede and intercession would be accepted. Then I would raise my head and extrol my Lord with the praise which my Lord would teach me. I shall then inter- cede, but a limit would be set for me I would bring them out from the Fire and make them enter Paradise (according to the limit). I shall return then ard fall down in pros- tration and Allah would leave me (in that position) as long as He would wish to leave me it would be said: Rise, O Muhammad, say and you would be heard; ask and it would be conferred; intercede and intercession would be granted. I would raise my head and extrol my Lord with praise that He would teach me. I would theft intercede and a limit would be set for me. I would bring them out of the Fire (of Hell) and make them enter Paradise. He (the narrator) said: I do not remember whether he (the Holy Prophet) said at tLe third time or at the fourth time: O my Lord, none has been left in the Fire, but thise restrained by the Holy Qur'an, i e. those who were eternally doomed. Ibn Ubaid said in a narration: Qatada observed: whose everlasting stay was imperative .
