THE HADITH OF MUHAMMED
By Sahih Bukhari
Prophets Volume
4, Book 55, Number 543:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah
created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said
to him, "Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply,
for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutations
of your offspring." So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum
(i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, "As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi"
(i.e. Peace and Allah's Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to
Adam's salutation the expression, 'Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi,' Any person who
will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People
have been decreasing in stature since Adam's creation.
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 544:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,
"The first group of people who will enter Paradise, will be glittering
like the full moon and those who will follow them, will glitter like
the most brilliant star in the sky. They will not urinate, relieve nature,
spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be of gold, and
their sweat will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be used in their
centers. Their wives will be houris. All of them will look alike and
will resemble their father Adam (in statute), sixty cubits tall."
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 545:
Narrated Abu Salama:
Um Salama said, "Um Salaim
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Allah does not refrain from saying the truth!
Is it obligatory for a woman to take a bath after she gets nocturnal
discharge?' He said, 'Yes, if she notices the water (i.e. discharge).'
Um Salama smiled and said, 'Does a woman get discharge?' Allah's Apostle
said. 'Then why does a child resemble (its mother)?"
Editor:
It sounds like the faithful were not having an easy time with the Prophet's
lessons in physiology.
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 546:
Narrated Anas:
When 'Abdullah bin Salam
heard the arrival of the Prophet at Medina, he came to him and said,
"I am going to ask you about three things which nobody knows except
a prophet: What is the first portent of the Hour? What will be the first
meal taken by the people of Paradise? Why does a child resemble its
father, and why does it resemble its maternal uncle" Allah's Apostle
said, "Gabriel has just now told me of their answers." 'Abdullah said,
"He (i.e. Gabriel), from amongst all the angels, is the enemy of the
Jews." Allah's Apostle said, "The first portent of the Hour will be
a fire that will bring together the people from the east to the west;
the first meal of the people of Paradise will be Extra-lobe (caudate
lobe) of fish-liver. As for the resemblance of the child to its parents:
If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first,
the child will resemble the father, and if the woman gets discharge
first, the child will resemble her." On that 'Abdullah bin Salam said,
"I testify that you are the Apostle of Allah." 'Abdullah bin Salam further
said, "O Allah's Apostle! The Jews are liars, and if they should come
to know about my conversion to Islam before you ask them (about me),
they would tell a lie about me." The Jews came to Allah's Apostle and
'Abdullah went inside the house. Allah's Apostle asked (the Jews), "What
kind of man is 'Abdullah bin Salam amongst you?" They replied, "He is
the most learned person amongst us, and the best amongst us, and the
son of the best amongst us." Allah's Apostle said, "What do you think
if he embraces Islam (will you do as he does)?" The Jews said, "May
Allah save him from it." Then 'Abdullah bin Salam came out in front
of them saying, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah." Thereupon they
said, "He is the evilest among us, and the son of the evilest amongst
us," and continued talking badly of him.

4, Book 55, Number 547:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "But
for the Israelis, meat would not decay and but for Eve, wives would
never betray their husbands."
Editor:
What silly science-- Jews cause meat to spoil!
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 548:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah 's Apostle said,
"Treat women nicely, for a women is created from a rib, and the most
curved portion of the rib is its upper portion, so, if you should try
to straighten it, it will break, but if you leave it as it is, it will
remain crooked. So treat women nicely."
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 549:
Narrated Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle, the
true and truly inspired said, "(as regards your creation), every one
of you is collected in the womb of his mother for the first forty days,
and then he becomes a clot for an other forty days, and then a piece
of flesh for an other forty days. Then Allah sends an angel to write
four words: He writes his deeds, time of his death, means of his livelihood,
and whether he will be wretched or blessed (in religion). Then the soul
is breathed into his body. So a man may do deeds characteristic of the
people of the (Hell) Fire, so much so that there is only the distance
of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the
angel) surpasses, and so he starts doing deeds characteristic of the
people of Paradise and enters Paradise. Similarly, a person may do deeds
characteristic of the people of Paradise, so much so that there is only
the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written
(by the angel) surpasses, and he starts doing deeds of the people of
the (Hell) Fire and enters the (Hell) Fire."
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 550:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said, "Allah
has appointed an angel in the womb, and the angel says, 'O Lord! A drop
of discharge (i.e. of semen), O Lord! a clot, O Lord! a piece of flesh.'
And then, if Allah wishes to complete the child's creation, the angel
will say. 'O Lord! A male or a female? O Lord! wretched or blessed (in
religion)? What will his livelihood be? What will his age be?' The angel
writes all this while the child is in the womb of its mother."
Editor:
Again, silly science. Angels have nothing to do with it.
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 551:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Allah
will say to that person of the (Hell) Fire who will receive the least
punishment, 'If you had everything on the earth, would you give it as
a ransom to free yourself (i.e. save yourself from this Fire)?' He will
say, 'Yes.' Then Allah will say, 'While you were in the backbone of
Adam, I asked you much less than this, i.e. not to worship others besides
Me, but you insisted on worshipping others besides me.' "
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 552:
Narrated Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Whenever a person is murdered unjustly, there is a share from the burden
of the crime on the first son of Adam for he was the first to start
the tradition of murdering."
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 553:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
Once Allah's Apostle
stood amongst the people, glorified and praised Allah as He deserved
and then mentioned the Dajjal saying, "l warn you against him (i.e.
the Dajjal) and there was no prophet but warned his nation against him.
No doubt, Noah warned his nation against him but I tell you about him
something of which no prophet told his nation before me. You should
know that he is one-eyed, and Allah is not one-eyed."
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 554:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Shall I not tell you about the Dajjal a story of which no prophet told
his nation? The Dajjall is one-eyed and will bring with him what will
resemble Hell and Paradise, and what he will call Paradise will be actually
Hell; so I warn you (against him) as Noah warned his nation against
him."
Editor:
Muhammed had a real terror of one eyed Dajjal. There is no such thing
in the Bible.
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 555:
Narrated Abu Said:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Noah and his nation will come (on the Day of Resurrection and Allah
will ask (Noah), "Did you convey (the Message)?' He will reply, 'Yes,
O my Lord!' Then Allah will ask Noah's nation, 'Did Noah convey My Message
to you?' They will reply, 'No, no prophet came to us.' Then Allah will
ask Noah, 'Who will stand a witness for you?' He will reply, 'Muhammad
and his followers (will stand witness for me).' So, I and my followers
will stand as witnesses for him (that he conveyed Allah's Message)."
That is, (the interpretation) of the Statement of Allah: "Thus we have
made you a just and the best nation that you might be witnesses Over
mankind .." (2.143)
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 556:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
We were in the company
of the Prophet at a banquet and a cooked (mutton) forearm was set before
him, and 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
how Allah will gather all the first and the last (people) in one level
place where an observer will be able to see (all) of them and they will
be able to hear the announcer, and the sun will come near to them. Some
People will say: Don't you see, in what condition you are and the state
to which you have reached? Why don't you look for a person who can intercede
for you with your Lord? Some people will say: Appeal to your father,
Adam.' They will go to him and say: 'O Adam! You are the father of all
mankind, and Allah created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels
to prostrate for you, and made you live in Paradise. Will you not intercede
for us with your Lord? Don't you see in what (miserable) state we are,
and to what condition we have reached?' On that Adam will reply, 'My
Lord is so angry as He has never been before and will never be in the
future; (besides), He forbade me (to eat from) the tree, but I disobeyed
(Him), (I am worried about) myself! Myself! Go to somebody else; go
to Noah.' They will go to Noah and say; 'O Noah! You are the first amongst
the messengers of Allah to the people of the earth, and Allah named
you a thankful slave. Don't you see in what a (miserable) state we are
and to what condition we have reached? Will you not intercede for us
with your Lord? Noah will reply: 'Today my Lord has become so angry
as he had never been before and will never be in the future Myself!
Myself! Go to the Prophet (Muhammad). The people will come to me, and
I will prostrate myself underneath Allah's Throne. Then I will be addressed:
'O Muhammad! Raise your head; intercede, for your intercession will
be accepted, and ask (for anything). for you will be given. "

Narrated 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle recited
the following Verse) in the usual tone: 'Fahal-Min-Muddalkir.' (54.15)
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 558:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet said, "I
have been made victorious with As-Saba (i.e. an easterly wind) and the
people of 'Ad were destroyed by Ad-Dabur (i.e. a westerly wind)." Narrated
Abu Said: Ali sent a piece of gold to the Prophet who distributed it
among four persons: Al-Aqra' bin Habis Al-Hanzali from the tribe of
Mujashi, 'Uyaina bin Badr Al-Fazari, Zaid At-Ta'i who belonged to (the
tribe of) Bani Nahban, and 'Alqama bin Ulatha Al-'Amir who belonged
to (the tribe of) Bani Kilab. So the Quraish and the Ansar became angry
and said, "He (i.e. the Prophet, ) gives the chief of Najd and does
not give us." The Prophet said, "I give them) so as to attract their
hearts (to Islam)." Then a man with sunken eyes, prominent checks, a
raised forehead, a thick beard and a shaven head, came (in front of
the Prophet ) and said, "Be afraid of Allah, O Muhammad!" The Prophet
' said "Who would obey Allah if I disobeyed Him? (Is it fair that) Allah
has trusted all the people of the earth to me while, you do not trust
me?" Somebody who, I think was Khalid bin Al-Walid, requested the Prophet
to let him chop that man's head off, but he prevented him. When the
man left, the Prophet said, "Among the off-spring of this man will be
some who will recite the Qur'an but the Qur'an will not reach beyond
their throats (i.e. they will recite like parrots and will not understand
it nor act on it), and they will renegade from the religion as an arrow
goes through the game's body. They will kill the Muslims but will not
disturb the idolaters. If I should live up to their time' I will kill
them as the people of 'Ad were killed (i.e. I will kill all of them)."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
When Allah's Apostle
landed at Al-Hijr during the Ghazwa of Tabuk, he ordered his companions

bags with its water.'' On that, the Prophet ordered them to throw away
the dough and pour out the water.

the dough, and ordered them to take water from the well whence the she-camel
(of Prophet Salih) used to drink.

Jahsh:
That the Prophet once
came to her in a state of fear and said, "None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from a danger that has come near. An opening
has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this," making a circle
with his thumb and index finger. Zainab bint Jahsh said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Shall we be destroyed even though there are pious persons among
us?" He said, "Yes, when the evil person will increase."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah
has made an opening in the wall of the Gog and Magog (people) like this,

4, Book 55, Number 567:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "Allah
will say (on the Day of Resurrection), 'O Adam.' Adam will reply, 'Labbaik

out the people of the fire.' Adam will say: 'O Allah! How many are the
people of the Fire?' Allah will reply: 'From every one thousand, take
out nine-hundred-and ninety-nine.' At that time children will become
hoary headed, every pregnant female will have a miscarriage, and one
will see mankind as drunken, yet they will not be drunken, but dreadful
will be the Wrath of Allah." The companions of the Prophet asked, "O
Allah's Apostle! Who is that (excepted) one?" He said, "Rejoice with
glad tidings; one person will be from you and one-thousand will be from
Gog and Magog."
The Prophet further said,
"By Him in Whose Hands my life is, hope that you will be one-fourth
of the people of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He added, "I
hope that you will be one-third of the people of Paradise." We shouted,
"Allahu Akbar!" He said, "I hope that you will be half of the people
of Paradise." We shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" He further said, "You (Muslims)
(compared with non Muslims) are like a black hair in the skin of a white
ox or like a white hair in the skin of a black ox (i.e. your number
is very small as compared with theirs)."
Volume

(21.104) He added, "The first to be dressed on the Day of Resurrection,
will be Abraham, and some of my companions will be taken towards the
left side (i.e. to the (Hell) Fire), and I will say: 'My companions!
My companions!' It will be said: 'They renegade from Islam after you
left them.' Then I will say as the Pious slave of Allah (i.e. Jesus)
said. 'And I was a witness Over them while I dwelt amongst them. When
You took me up You were the Watcher over them, And You are a witness
to all things. If You punish them. They are Your slaves And if You forgive

him): 'Didn't I tell you not to disobey me?' His father will reply:
'Today I will not disobey you.' 'Abraham will say: 'O Lord! You promised
me not to disgrace me on the Day of Resurrection; and what will be more
disgraceful to me than cursing and dishonoring my father?' Then Allah
will say (to him):' 'I have forbidden Paradise for the disbelievers."
Then he will be addressed, 'O Abraham! Look! What is underneath your
feet?' He will look and there he will see a Dhabh (an animal,) blood-stained,
which will be caught by the legs and thrown in the (Hell) Fire."
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 570:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet entered the
Ka'ba and found in it the pictures of (Prophet) Abraham and Mary. On
that he said' "What is the matter with them ( i.e. Quraish)? They have

yet this is the picture of Abraham. And why is he depicted as practicing
divination by arrows?"
Volume

pictures in the Ka'ba, he did not enter it till he ordered them to be

Allah's Prophet, The son of Allah's Prophet the son of Allah's Khalil
(i.e. Abraham)." They said, "We do not want to ask about this," He said'
"Then you want to ask about the descent of the Arabs. Those who were
the best in the pre-lslamic period of ignorance will be the best in
Islam provided they comprehend the religious knowledge."

did not hear this, but the Prophet said, 'If you want to see Abraham,
then look at your companion (i.e. the Prophet) but Moses was a curly-haired,
brown man (who used to ride) a red camel, the reins of which was made

Volume
4, Book 55, Number 578:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Abraham did not tell
a lie except on three occasion. Twice for the Sake of Allah when he
said, "I am sick," and he said, "(I have not done this but) the big
idol has done it." The (third was) that while Abraham and Sarah (his
wife) were going (on a journey) they passed by (the territory of) a
tyrant. Someone said to the tyrant, "This man (i.e. Abraham) is accompanied
by a very charming lady." So, he sent for Abraham and asked him about
Sarah saying, "Who is this lady?" Abraham said, "She is my sister."
Abraham went to Sarah and said, "O Sarah! There are no believers on
the surface of the earth except you and I. This man asked me about you
and I have told him that you are my sister, so don't contradict my statement."
The tyrant then called Sarah and when she went to him, he tried to take
hold of her with his hand, but (his hand got stiff and) he was confounded.
He asked Sarah. "Pray to Allah for me, and I shall not harm you." So
Sarah asked Allah to cure him and he got cured. He tried to take hold
of her for the second time, but (his hand got as stiff as or stiffer
than before and) was more confounded. He again requested Sarah, "Pray
to Allah for me, and I will not harm you." Sarah asked Allah again and
he became alright. He then called one of his guards (who had brought
her) and said, "You have not brought me a human being but have brought
me a devil." The tyrant then gave Hajar as a girl-servant to Sarah.
Sarah came back (to Abraham) while he was praying. Abraham, gesturing
with his hand, asked, "What has happened?" She replied, "Allah has spoiled
the evil plot of the infidel (or immoral person) and gave me Hajar for
service." (Abu Huraira then addressed his listeners saying, "That (Hajar)
was your mother, O Bani Ma-is-Sama (i.e. the Arabs, the descendants
of Ishmael, Hajar's son)."

When the Verse:--"It
is those who believe and do not confuse their belief with wrong ( i.e.
joining others in worship with Allah" (6.83) was revealed, we said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Who is there amongst us who has not done wrong to
himself?" He replied, "It is not as you say, for 'wrong' in the Verse
and 'do not confuse their belief, with wrong means 'SHIRK' (i.e. joining
others in worship with Allah). Haven't you heard Luqman's saying to
his son, 'O my son! Join not others in worship with Allah, verily joining
others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed." (31.13)

then mentioned the narration of intercession): "The people will go to
Abraham and say: 'You are Allah's Prophet and His Khalil on the earth.
Will you intercede for us with your Lord?' Abraham will then remember
his lies and say: 'Myself! Myself! Go to Moses."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet said, "May
Allah bestow His Mercy on the mother of Ishmael! Had she not hastened
(to fill her water-skin with water from the Zam-zam well). Zam-zam would
have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth." Ibn 'Abbas
further added, "(The Prophet) Abraham brought Ishmael and his mother
(to Mecca) and she was suckling Ishmael and she had a water-skin with
her.'
Volume
4, Book 55, Number 583:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The first lady to use
a girdle was the mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that she might
hide her tracks from Sarah. Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael
while she was suckling him, to a place near the Ka'ba under a tree on
the spot of Zam-zam, at the highest place in the mosque. During those
days there was nobody in Mecca, nor was there any water So he made them
sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates,
and a small water-skin containing some water, and set out homeward.
Ishmael's mother followed him saying, "O Abraham! Where are you going,
leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we
may enjoy, nor is there anything (to enjoy)?" She repeated that to him
many times, but he did not look back at her Then she asked him, "Has
Allah ordered you to do so?" He said, "Yes." She said, "Then He will
not neglect us," and returned while Abraham proceeded onwards, and on
reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him, he faced the Ka'ba,
and raising both hands, invoked Allah saying the following prayers:
'O our Lord! I have made
some of my offspring dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Your
Sacred House (Kaba at Mecca) in order, O our Lord, that they may offer
prayer perfectly. So fill some hearts among men with love towards them,
and (O Allah) provide them with fruits, so that they may give thanks.'
(14.37) Ishmael's mother went on suckling Ishmael and drinking from
the water (she had).
When the water in the
water-skin had all been used up, she became thirsty and her child also
became thirsty. She started looking at him (i.e. Ishmael) tossing in
agony; She left him, for she could not endure looking at him, and found
that the mountain of Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land.
She stood on it and started looking at the valley keenly so that she
might see somebody, but she could not see anybody. Then she descended
from Safa and when she reached the valley, she tucked up her robe and
ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble, till she crossed
the valley and reached the Marwa mountain where she stood and started
looking, expecting to see somebody, but she could not see anybody. She
repeated that (running between Safa and Marwa) seven times."
The Prophet said, "This
is the source of the tradition of the walking of people between them
(i.e. Safa and Marwa). When she reached the Marwa (for the last time)
she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened attentively.
She heard the voice again and said, 'O, (whoever you may be)! You have
made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me?" And behold!
She saw an angel at the place of Zam-zam, digging the earth with his
heel (or his wing), till water flowed from that place. She started to
make something like a basin around it, using her hand in this way, and
started filling her water-skin with water with her hands, and the water
was flowing out after she had scooped some of it."
The Prophet added, "May
Allah bestow Mercy on Ishmael's mother! Had she let the Zam-zam (flow
without trying to control it) (or had she not scooped from that water)
(to fill her water-skin), Zam-zam would have been a stream flowing on
the surface of the earth." The Prophet further added, "Then she drank
(water) and suckled her child. The angel said to her, 'Don't be afraid
of being neglected, for this is the House of Allah which will be built
by this boy and his father, and Allah never neglects His people.' The
House (i.e. Kaba) at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock,
and when torrents came, they flowed to its right and left. She lived
in that way till some people from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from
Jurhum passed by her and her child, as they (i.e. the Jurhum people)
were coming through the way of Kada'. They landed in the lower part
of Mecca where they saw a bird that had the habit of flying around water
and not leaving it. They said, 'This bird must be flying around water,
though we know that there is no water in this valley.' They sent one
or two messengers who discovered the source of water, and returned to
inform them of the water. So, they all came (towards the water)." The
Prophet added, "Ishmael's mother was sitting near the water. They asked
her, 'Do you allow us to stay with you?" She replied, 'Yes, but you
will have no right to possess the water.' They agreed to that." The
Prophet further said, "Ishmael's mother was pleased with the whole situation
as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people. So, they settled
there, and later on they sent for their families who came and settled
with them so that some families became permanent residents there. The
child (i.e. Ishmael) grew up and learnt Arabic from them and (his virtues)
caused them to love and admire him as he grew up, and when he reached
the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from amongst them.
After Ishmael's mother
had died, Abraham came after Ishmael's marriage in order to see his
family that he had left before, but he did not find Ishmael there. When
he asked Ishmael's wife about him, she replied, 'He has gone in search
of our livelihood.' Then he asked her about their way of living and
their condition, and she replied, 'We are living in misery; we are living
in hardship and destitution,' complaining to him. He said, 'When your
husband returns, convey my salutation to him and tell him to change
the threshold of the gate (of his house).' When Ishmael came, he seemed
to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife, 'Has anyone visited
you?' She replied, 'Yes, an old man of so-and-so description came and
asked me about you and I informed him, and he asked about our state
of living, and I told him that we were living in a hardship and poverty.'
On that Ishmael said, 'Did he advise you anything?' She replied, 'Yes,
he told me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change
the threshold of your gate.' Ishmael said, 'It was my father, and he
has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family.' So, Ishmael
divorced her and married another woman from amongst them (i.e. Jurhum).
Then Abraham stayed away
from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them again
but did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael's wife and asked her
about Ishmael. She said, 'He has gone in search of our livelihood.'
Abraham asked her, 'How are you getting on?' asking her about their
sustenance and living. She replied, 'We are prosperous and well-off
(i.e. we have everything in abundance).' Then she thanked Allah' Abraham
said, 'What kind of food do you eat?' She said. 'Meat.' He said, 'What
do you drink?' She said, 'Water." He said, "O Allah! Bless their meat
and water." The Prophet added, "At that time they did not have grain,
and if they had grain, he would have also invoked Allah to bless it."
The Prophet added, "If somebody has only these two things as his sustenance,
his health and disposition will be badly affected, unless he lives in
Mecca." The Prophet added," Then Abraham said Ishmael's wife, "When
your husband comes, give my regards to him and tell him that he should
keep firm the threshold of his gate.' When Ishmael came back, he asked
his wife, 'Did anyone call on you?' She replied, 'Yes, a good-looking
old man came to me,' so she praised him and added. 'He asked about you,
and I informed him, and he asked about our livelihood and I told him
that we were in a good condition.' Ishmael asked her, 'Did he give you
any piece of advice?' She said, 'Yes, he told me to give his regards
to you and ordered that you should keep firm the threshold of your gate.'
On that Ishmael said, 'It was my father, and you are the threshold (of
the gate). He has ordered me to keep you with me.'
Then Abraham stayed away
from them for a period as long as Allah wished, and called on them afterwards.
He saw Ishmael under a tree near Zamzam, sharpening his arrows. When
he saw Abraham, he rose up to welcome him (and they greeted each other
as a father does with his son or a son does with his father). Abraham
said, 'O Ishmael! Allah has given me an order.' Ishmael said, 'Do what
your Lord has ordered you to do.' Abraham asked, 'Will you help me?'
Ishmael said, 'I will help you.' Abraham said, Allah has ordered me
to build a house here,' pointing to a hillock higher than the land surrounding
it." The Prophet added, "Then they raised the foundations of the House
(i.e. the Ka'ba). Ishmael brought the stones and Abraham was building,
and when the walls became high, Ishmael brought this stone and put it
for Abraham who stood over it and carried on building, while Ishmael
was handing him the stones, and both of them were saying, 'O our Lord!
Accept (this service) from us, Verily, You are the All-Hearing, the
All-Knowing.' The Prophet added, "Then both of them went on building
and going round the Ka'ba saying: O our Lord ! Accept (this service)
from us, Verily, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing." (2.127)

4, Book 55, Number 584:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
When Abraham had differences
with his wife), (because of her jealousy of Hajar, Ishmael's mother),
he took Ishmael and his mother and went away. They had a water-skin
with them containing some water, Ishmael's mother used to drink water
from the water-skin so that her milk would increase for her child. When
Abraham reached Mecca, he made her sit under a tree and afterwards returned
home. Ishmael's mother followed him, and when they reached Kada', she
called him from behind, 'O Abraham! To whom are you leaving us?' He
replied, '(I am leaving you) to Allah's (Care).' She said, 'I am satisfied
to be with Allah.' She returned to her place and started drinking water
from the water-skin, and her milk increased for her child. When the
water had all been used up, she said to herself, 'I'd better go and
look so that I may see somebody.' She ascended the Safa mountain and
looked, hoping to see somebody, but in vain. When she came down to the
valley, she ran till she reached the Marwa mountain. She ran to and
fro (between the two mountains) many times. They she said to herself,
'i'd better go and see the state of the child,' she went and found it
in a state of one on the point of dying. She could not endure to watch
it dying and said (to herself), 'If I go and look, I may find somebody.'
She went and ascended the Safa mountain and looked for a long while
but could not find anybody. Thus she completed seven rounds (of running)
between Safa and Marwa. Again she said (to herself), 'I'd better go
back and see the state of the child.' But suddenly she heard a voice,
and she said to that strange voice, 'Help us if you can offer any help.'
Lo! It was Gabriel (who had made the voice). Gabriel hit the earth with
his heel like this (Ibn 'Abbas hit the earth with his heel to Illustrate
it), and so the water gushed out. Ishmael's mother was astonished and
started digging. (Abu Al-Qasim) (i.e. the Prophet) said, "If she had
left the water, (flow naturally without her intervention), it would
have been flowing on the surface of the earth.") Ishmael's mother started
drinking from the water and her milk increased for her child . Afterwards
some people of the tribe of Jurhum, while passing through the bottom
of the valley, saw some birds, and that astonished them, and they said,
'Birds can only be found at a place where there is water.' They sent
a messenger who searched the place and found the water, and returned
to inform them about it. Then they all went to her and said, 'O ishmael's
mother! Will you allow us to be with you (or dwell with you)?' (And
thus they stayed there.) Later on her boy reached the age of puberty
and married a lady from them. Then an idea occurred to Abraham which
he disclosed to his wife (Sarah), 'I want to call on my dependents I
left (at Mecca).' When he went there, he greeted (Ishmael's wife) and
said, 'Where is Ishmael?' She replied, 'He has gone out hunting.' Abraham
said (to her), 'When he comes, tell him to change the threshold of his
gate.' When he came, she told him the same whereupon Ishmael said to
her, 'You are the threshold, so go to your family (i.e. you are divorced).'
Again Abraham thought of visiting his dependents whom he had left (at
Mecca), and he told his wife (Sarah) of his intentions. Abraham came
to Ishmael's house and asked. "Where is Ishmael?" Ishmael's wife replied,
"He has gone out hunting," and added, "Will you stay (for some time)
and have something to eat and drink?' Abraham asked, 'What is your food
and what is your drink?' She replied, 'Our food is meat and our drink
is water.' He said, 'O Allah! Bless their meals and their drink." Abu
Al-Qa-sim (i.e. Prophet) said, "Because of Abraham's invocation there
are blessings (in Mecca)." Once more Abraham thought of visiting his
family he had left (at Mecca), so he told his wife (Sarah) of his decision.
He went and found Ishmael behind the Zam-zam well, mending his arrows.
He said, "O Ishmael, Your Lord has ordered me to build a house for Him."
Ishmael said, "Obey (the order of) your Lord." Abraham said, "Allah
has also ordered me that you should help me therein." Ishmael said,
"Then I will do." So, both of them rose and Abraham started building
(the Ka'ba) while Ishmael went on handing him the stones, and both of
them were saying, "O our Lord ! Accept (this service) from us, Verily,
You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing." (2.127). When the building
became high and the old man (i.e. Abraham) could no longer lift the
stones (to such a high position), he stood over the stone of Al-Maqam
and Ishmael carried on handing him the stones, and both of them were
saying, 'O our Lord! Accept (this service) from us, Verily You are All-Hearing,
All-Knowing." (2.127)

Ibn 'Abbas called him saying, "My friend and I have differed regarding
Moses' companion whom Moses asked the way to meet. Have you heard Allah's
Apostle mentioning something about him?" He said, "Yes, I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, 'While Moses was sitting in the company of some Israelites,
a man came and asked (him), 'Do you know anyone who is more learned
than you?' Moses replied, 'No.' So, Allah sent the Divine Inspiration
to Moses: 'Yes, Our slave, Khadir (is more learned than you).' Moses
asked how to meet him (i.e. Khadir). So, the fish, was made, as a sign
for him, and he was told that when the fish was lost, he should return
and there he would meet him. So, Moses went on looking for the sign
of the fish in the sea. The servant boy of Moses said to him, 'Do you
know that when we were sitting by the side of the rock, I forgot the
fish, and t was only Satan who made me forget to tell (you) about it.'
Moses said, That was what we were seeking after,' and both of them returned,
following their footmarks and found Khadir; and what happened further
to them, is mentioned in Allah's Book."
Volume

Narrated Said bin Jubair:
I said to Ibn Abbas,
"Nauf Al-Bukah claims that Moses, the companion of Al-Khadir was not
Moses (the prophet) of the children of Israel, but some other Moses."
Ibn 'Abbas said, "Allah's enemy (i.e. Nauf) has told a lie. Ubai bin
Ka'b told us that the Prophet said, 'Once Moses stood up and addressed
Bani Israel. He was asked who was the most learned man amongst the people.
He said, 'I.' Allah admonished him as he did not attribute absolute
knowledge to Him (Allah). So, Allah said to him, 'Yes, at the junction
of the two seas there is a Slave of Mine who is more learned than you.'
Moses said, 'O my Lord! How can I meet him?' Allah said, 'Take a fish
and put it in a large basket and you will find him at the place where
you will lose the fish.' Moses took a fish and put it in a basket and
proceeded along with his (servant) boy, Yusha 'bin Nun, till they reached
the rock where they laid their heads (i.e. lay down). Moses slept, and
the fish, moving out of the basket, fell into the sea. It took its way
into the sea (straight) as in a tunnel. Allah stopped the flow of water
over the fish and it became like an arch (the Prophet pointed out this
arch with his hands). They travelled the rest of the night, and the
next day Moses said to his boy (servant), 'Give us our food, for indeed,
we have suffered much fatigue in this journey of ours.' Moses did not
feel tired till he crossed that place which Allah had ordered him to
seek after. His boy (servant) said to him, 'Do you know that when we
were sitting near that rock, I forgot the fish, and none but Satan caused
me to forget to tell (you) about it, and it took its course into the
sea in an amazing way?.' So there was a path for the fish and that astonished
them. Moses said, 'That was what we were seeking after.' So, both of
them retraced their footsteps till they reached the rock. There they
saw a man Lying covered with a garment. Moses greeted him and he replied
saying, 'How do people greet each other in your land?' Moses said, 'I
am Moses.' The man asked, 'Moses of Bani Israel?' Moses said, 'Yes,
I have come to you so that you may teach me from those things which
Allah has taught you.' He said, 'O Moses! I have some of the Knowledge
of Allah which Allah has taught me, and which you do not know, while
you have some of the Knowledge of Allah which Allah has taught you and
which I do not know.' Moses asked, 'May I follow you?' He said, 'But
you will not be able to remain patient with me for how can you be patient
about things which you will not be able to understand?' (Moses said,
'You will find me, if Allah so will, truly patient, and I will not disobey
you in aught.') So, both of them set out walking along the sea-shore,
a boat passed by them and they asked the crew of the boat to take them
on board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and so they took them on board
without fare. When they were on board the boat, a sparrow came and stood
on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice into the sea.
Al-Khadir said to Moses, 'O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have
not decreased Allah's Knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased
the water of the sea with its beak.' Then suddenly Al-Khadir took an
adze and plucked a plank, and Moses did not notice it till he had plucked
a plank with the adze. Moses said to him, 'What have you done? They
took us on board charging us nothing; yet you I have intentionally made
a hole in their boat so as to drown its passengers. Verily, you have
done a dreadful thing.' Al-Khadir replied, 'Did I not tell you that
you would not be able to remain patient with me?' Moses replied, 'Do
not blame me for what I have forgotten, and do not be hard upon me for
my fault.' So the first excuse of Moses was that he had forgotten. When
they had left the sea, they passed by a boy playing with other boys.
Al-Khadir took hold of
the boys head and plucked it with his hand like this. (Sufyan, the sub
narrator pointed with his fingertips as if he was plucking some fruit.)
Moses said to him, "Have you killed an innocent person who has not killed
any person? You have really done a horrible thing." Al-Khadir said,
"Did I not tell you that you could not remain patient with me?' Moses
said "If I ask you about anything after this, don't accompany me. You
have received an excuse from me.' Then both of them went on till they
came to some people of a village, and they asked its inhabitant for
wood but they refused to entertain them as guests. Then they saw therein
a wall which was just going to collapse (and Al Khadir repaired it just
by touching it with his hands). (Sufyan, the sub-narrator, pointed with
his hands, illustrating how Al-Khadir passed his hands over the wall
upwards.) Moses said, "These are the people whom we have called on,
but they neither gave us food, nor entertained us as guests, yet you
have repaired their wall. If you had wished, you could have taken wages
for it." Al-Khadir said, "This is the parting between you and me, and
I shall tell you the explanation of those things on which you could
not remain patient." The Prophet added, "We wished that Moses could
have remained patient by virtue of which Allah might have told us more
about their story. (Sufyan the sub-narrator said that the Prophet said,
"May Allah bestow His Mercy on Moses! If he had remained patient, we
would have been told further about their case.")

because of his extensive shyness. One of the children of Israel hurt
him by saying, 'He covers his body in this way only because of some
defect in his skin, either leprosy or scrotal hernia, or he has some
other defect.' Allah wished to clear Moses of what they said about him,
so one day while Moses was in seclusion, he took off his clothes and
put them on a stone and started taking a bath. When he had finished
the bath, he moved towards his clothes so as to take them, but the stone
took his clothes and fled; Moses picked up his stick and ran after the
stone saying, 'O stone! Give me my garment!' Till he reached a group
of Bani Israel who saw him naked then, and found him the best of what
Allah had created, and Allah cleared him of what they had accused him
of. The stone stopped there and Moses took and put his garment on and
started hitting the stone with his stick. By Allah, the stone still
has some traces of the hitting, three, four or five marks. This was
what Allah refers to in His Saying:-- "O you who believe! Be you not
like those Who annoyed Moses, But Allah proved his innocence of that
which they alleged, And he was honorable In Allah's Sight." (33.69)

I answer her or keep on praying?" (He went on praying) and did not answer
her, his mother said, "O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the
faces of prostitutes." So while he was in his hermitage, a lady came
and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a shepherd
and presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with
her and then later she gave birth to a child and claimed that it belonged
to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his hermitage
and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablution
and offered prayer, and then came to the child and said, 'O child! Who
is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.' (After hearing this)
the people said, 'We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,' but he said,
'No, of nothing but mud.'(The third was the hero of the following story)
A lady from Bani Israel was nursing her child at her breast when a handsome
rider passed by her. She said, 'O Allah ! Make my child like him.' On
that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, 'O Allah!
Do not make me like him.' The child then started to suck her breast
again. (Abu Huraira further said, "As if I were now looking at the Prophet
sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.") After a while the people
passed by, with a lady slave and she (i.e. the child's mother) said,
'O Allah! Do not make my child like this (slave girl)!, On that the
child left her breast and said, 'O Allah! Make me like her.' When she
asked why, the child replied, 'The rider is one of the tyrants while
this slave girl is falsely accused of theft and illegal sexual intercourse."

John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one
that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge
him in the last day. The Bible-- The Word of God-- This will be the
authority at the judgment. The Koran will not be anywhere in sight.
