English translation

6594. Narrated 'Abdullāh رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, the truthful and truly inspired, said (as regard the creation of a human being), "Each one of you is put together in the womb of his mother for forty days, and then turns into a clot for an equal period (of forty days) and then turns into a piece of flesh for a similar period (of forty days) and then Allāh sends an angel and orders him to write four things, i.e., his provision, his stated term to die (age), and whether he will be of the wretched or the blessed (in the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into him. And by Allāh, a person among you (or a man) may do deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire till there is only a cubit or an armlength distance between him and the (Hell) Fire, but then that writing (which Allāh has ordered the angel to write) precedes, and he does the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters it; and a man may do the deeds of the people of Paradise till there is only a cubit or two between him and Paradise, and then that writing precedes and he does the deeds of the people of the Fire and enters it." [See Vol. 4, No. 3208, 3332]

6595. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh puts an angel in charge of the uterus and the angel says, 'O Lord, (it is) semen! O Lord, (it is now) a clot! O Lord, (it is now) a piece of flesh.' And then, if Allāh wishes to complete its creation, the angel asks, 'O Lord, (will it be) a male or a female? A wretched (an evildoer) or a blessed (doer of good)? How much will his provisions be? What will his age be?" So all that is written while the creature is still in the mother's womb."

6606. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: We witnessed along with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ the Khaibar (campaign). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ told his companions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, "This man is from the people of the Fire (Hell)." When the battle started, the man fought very bravely and received a great number of wounds and got crippled. On that, a man from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ came and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Do you know what the man you described as of the people of the Fire has done? He has fought very bravely for Allāh's Cause and he has received many wounds." The Prophet ﷺ said, "But he is indeed one of the people of the Fire." Some of the Muslims were about to have some doubt about that statement. So while the man was in that state, the pain caused by the wounds troubled him so much that he put his hand into his quiver and took out an arrow and committed suicide with it. Off went some men from the Muslims to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Allāh has made your statement true. So-and-so has committed suicide." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "O Bilāl! Get up and announce in public: 'None will enter Paradise but a believer, and Allāh may support this religion (Islām) with a Fājir (wicked man).'"

6607. Narrated Sahl (bin Sa'd): There was a man who fought most bravely of all the Muslims on behalf of the Muslims in a battle (Ghazwa) in the company of the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ looked at him and said, "If anyone would like to see a man from the people of the Fire (Hell), let him look at this (man)." On that, a man from the people (Muslims) followed him, and he was in that state, i.e., fighting fiercely against Al-Mushrikūn [polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muhammad ﷺ] till he was wounded, and then he hastened to end his life by placing the pointed end of his sword between his breasts (and pressed it with great force) till it came out between his shoulders. Then the man (who was watching that person) went quickly to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I testify that you are Allāh's Messenger!" The Prophet asked him, "Why do you say that?" He said, "You said about so-and-so, 'If anyone would like to see a man from the people of the Fire, he should look at him, that fought most bravely of all of us on behalf of the Muslims and I knew that he would not die as a Muslim (martyr). So when he got wounded, he hastened to die and committed suicide.'" Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "A man may do the deeds of the people of the Fire, while in fact he is one of the people of Paradise, and he may do the deeds of the people of Paradise while in fact he belongs to the people of Fire, and verily, (the rewards of) the deeds are decided by the last actions (deeds)".

6610. Narrated Abū Mūsā: While we were with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ in a holy battle, we never went up a hill or reached its peak or went down a valley but raised our voices with Takbīr(1). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came close to us and said, "O people! Don't exert yourselves, for you are not calling a deaf or an absent one, but you call the All-Listener, the All-Seer." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "O 'Abdullāh bin Qais! Shall I teach you a sentence which is from the treasures of Paradise? (It is) 'Lā haula wa lā quwwata illā billāh. (There is neither might nor power except with Allāh).'"

6612. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهم: I did not see anything so resembling minor sins as what Abū Hurairah narrated from the Prophet ﷺ who said, "Allāh has written for the son of Ādam his inevitable share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not. The adultery of the eye is the looking (at something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the innerself wishes and longings for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation."

6613. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهم: regarding the Verse: "And We made not the vision which We showed you [O Muḥammad ﷺ] as an actual eye witness and not a dream on the night of Al-Isra] but as a trial for the mankind..." (V.17:60) Allāh's Messenger ﷺ actually saw with his own eyes the vision (all the things which were shown to him) on the night of his Al-Isra' (The Journey by Night) to Bait-ul-Maḥdīs (Jerusalem). The cursed tree which is mentioned in the Qur'an is the tree of Az-Zaqqūm.

6614. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Ādam and Mūsā (Moses) argued with each other. Mūsā said to Ādam, 'O Ādam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Ādam said to him, 'O Mūsā! Allāh favoured you with His Talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote [the Taurāt (Torah)] for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allāh had preordained for me forty years before my creation?' So Ādam confuted Mūsā, Ādam confuted Mūsā." The Prophet ﷺ repeated the statement three times.

6615. Narrated Warrād, the freed slave of Al-Muḥīra bin Shu'ba: Mu'āwiya wrote to Al-Mughīra: "Write to me what you heard the Prophet ﷺ saying after his Ṣalāt (prayer)." So Al-Mughīra dictated to me and said, "I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying after the Ṣalāt 'Lā ilaha illallāh' (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh Alone) Who has no partner. O Allāh! None can withhold what You give, and none can give what You withhold. Hard efforts by anyone (or good luck or riches) for anything cannot benefit one against Your Will."
