While the
Prophet was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked
him, "When would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle
continued his talk, so some people said that Allah's Apostle had heard
the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them
said that Alllah's Apostle had not heard it. When the Prophet finished
his speech, he said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about the
Hour (Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here, O Allah's Apostle ."
Then the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour
(Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet
said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit persons,
then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)" |

then said: "Who amongst you is Muhammad?" At that time the Prophet was
sitting amongst us (his companions) leaning on his arm. We replied,
"This white man reclining on his arm." The an then addressed him, "O Son
of 'Abdul Muttalib."
The Prophet said, "I am here to answer your questions." The man said to
the Prophet, "I want to ask you something and will be hard in
questioning. So do not get angry." The Prophet said, "Ask whatever you
want." The man said, "I ask you by your Lord, and the Lord of those who
were before you, has Allah sent you as an Apostle to all the mankind?"
The Prophet replied, "By Allah, yes." The man further said, "I ask you
by Allah. Has Allah ordered you to offer five prayers in a day and night

Allah's Apostle was sitting in the mosque with some people, three men
came. Two of them came in front of Allah's Apostle and the third one
went away. The two persons kept on standing before Allah's Apostle for a
while and then one of them found a place in the circle and sat there
while the other sat behind the gathering, and the third one went away.
When Allah's Apostle finished his preaching, he said, "Shall I tell you
about these three persons? One of them be-took himself to Allah, so
Allah took him into His grace and mercy and accommodated him, the second
felt shy from Allah, so Allah sheltered Him in His mercy (and did not
punish him), while the third turned his face from Allah and went away,
so Allah turned His face from him likewise. " |

Dhul-Hijja?" We replied, "Yes." He said, "Verily! Your blood, property

(Khadir). So Allah made the fish as a sign for him and he was told that
when the fish was lost, he should return (to the place where he had lost
it) and there he would meet him (Al-Khadir). So Moses went on looking
for the sign of the fish in the sea. The servant-boy of Moses said to
him: Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed
forgot the fish, none but Satan made me forget to remember it. On that
Moses said: 'That is what we have been seeking? (18.64) So they went

The Prophet
said, "The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent
me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile
soil that absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in
abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain water
and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for
drinking, making their animals drink from it and for irrigation of the
land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could
neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave
no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends
Allah's religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has
revealed through me (the Prophets and learns and then teaches others.
The last example is that of a person who does not care for it and does
not take Allah's guidance revealed through me (He is like that barren
land.)" |

became (nearly) unconscious and later on I poured water on my head.
After the prayer, the Prophet praised and glorified Allah and then said,
"Just now at this place I have seen what I have never seen before,
including Paradise and Hell. No doubt it has been inspired to me that
you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like
the trials of Masiah-ad-Dajjal or nearly like it (the sub narrator is

know about this man (the Prophet Muhammad)?' Then the faithful believer
(or Asma' said a similar word) will reply, 'He is Muhammad Allah's
Apostle who had come to us with clear evidences and guidance and so we
accepted his teachings and followed him. And he is Muhammad.' And he
will repeat it thrice. Then the angels will say to him, 'Sleep in peace

hand, a hypocrite or a doubtful person will reply, 'I do not know, but I

them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (Or) who are the delegates?" They
replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabi'a." Then the Prophet said to
them, "Welcome, O people (or said, "O delegation (of 'Abdul Qais).")
Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "We have
come to you from a distant place and there is the tribe of the infidels
of Mudar intervening between you and us and we cannot come to you
except in the sacred month. So please order us to do something good
(religious deeds) and that we may also inform our people whom we have
left behind (at home) and that we may enter Paradise (by acting on
them.)" The Prophet ordered them to do four things, and forbade them
from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah Alone, the
Honorable the Majestic and said to them, "Do you know what is meant by
believing in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know
better." Thereupon the Prophet said, "(That means to testify that none
has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His
Apostle, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay Zakat, to observe fasts
during the month of Ramadan, (and) to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the
booty to be given in Allah's cause)." Then he forbade them four things,
namely Ad-Dubba.' Hantam, Muzaffat (and) An-Naqir or Muqaiyar(These were
