Volume 8,
Book 77, Number 593:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle, the truthful
and truly-inspired, said, "Each one of you collected in
the womb of his mother for forty days, and then turns
into a clot for an equal period (of forty days) and
turns into a piece of flesh for a similar period (of
forty days) and then Allah sends an angel and orders him
to write four things, i.e., his provision, his age, and
whether he will be of the wretched or the blessed (in
the Hereafter). Then the soul is breathed into him. And
by Allah, a person among you (or a man) may do deeds of
the people of the Fire till there is only a cubit or an
arm-breadth distance between him and the Fire, but then
that writing (which Allah 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."

Narrated Anas bin Malik:
The Prophet said, "Allah 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 Allah
wishes to complete its creation, the angel asks, 'O
Lord, (will it be) a male or a female? A wretched (an
evil doer) 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."
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 595:
Narrated Imran bin Husain:
A man said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Can the people of Paradise be known (differentiated)
from the people of the Fire; The Prophet replied, "Yes."
The man said, "Why do people (try to) do (good) deeds?"
The Prophet said, "Everyone will do the deeds for which
he has been created to do or he will do those deeds
which will be made easy for him to do." (i.e. everybody
will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his
destined place for which he has been created).

they would have done (were they to live)."
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's
Apostle said, "No child is born but has the Islamic
Faith, but its parents turn it into a Jew or a
Christian. It is as you help the animals give birth. Do
you find among their offspring a mutilated one before
you mutilate them yourself?" The people said, "O Allah's
Apostle! What do you think about those (of them) who die
young?" The Prophet said, "Allah knows what they would
have done (were they to live)."

Allah's Apostle said, "No woman
should ask for the divorce of her sister (Muslim) so as

Once while I was with the
Prophet and Sa'd, Ubai bin Ka'b and Mu'adh were also
sitting with him, there came to him a messenger from one
of his daughters, telling him that her child was on the
verge of death. The Prophet told the messenger to tell
her, "It is for Allah what He takes, and it is for Allah
what He gives, and everything has its fixed time
(limit). So (she should) be patient and look for Allah's
reward."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
That while he was sitting with
the Prophet a man from the Ansar came and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! We get slave girls from the war
captives and we love property; what do you think about
coitus interruptus?" Allah's Apostle said, "Do you do
that? It is better for you not to do it, for there is no
soul which Allah has ordained to come into existence but
will be created."
Volume

Narrated Hudhaifa:
The Prophet once delivered a
speech in front of us wherein he left nothing but
mentioned (about) everything that would happen till the
Hour. Some of us stored that our minds and some forgot
it. (After that speech) I used to see events taking
place (which had been referred to in that speech) but I
had forgotten them (before their occurrence). Then I
would recognize such events as a man recognizes another
man who has been absent and then sees and recognizes
him.

Narrated 'Ali:
While we were sitting with the
Prophet who had a stick with which he was scraping the
earth, he lowered his head and said, "There is none of
you but has his place assigned either in the Fire or in
Paradise." Thereupon a man from the people said, "Shall
we not depend upon this, O Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet
said, "No, but carry on and do your deeds, for everybody
finds it easy to do such deeds (as will lead him to his
place)." The Prophet then recited the Verse: 'As for him
who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah..'
(92.5)
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 603:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
We witnessed along with Allah's
Apostle the Khaibar (campaign). Allah's Apostle told his
companions about a man who claimed to be a Muslim, "This
man is from the people of the Fire." 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 came and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Do you know what the man you
described as of the people of the Fire has done? He has
fought very bravely for Allah's Cause and he has
received many wounds." The Prophet 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 among
the Muslims to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Allah has made your statement true. So-and-so
has committed suicide." Allah's Apostle said, "O Bilal!
Get up and announce in public: None will enter Paradise
but a believer, and Allah may support this religion
(Islam) with a wicked man."
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 604:
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. The
Prophet looked at him and said. "If anyone would like to
see a man from the people of the Fire, let him look at
this (brave man)." On that, a man from the People
(Muslims) followed him, and he was in that state i.e.,
fighting fiercely against the pagans till he was
wounded, and then he hastened to end his life by placing
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 and said, "I testify that you are Allah's
Apostle!" 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.' He 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." There-upon the
Prophet 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)".
Volume

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said (that Allah
said), "Vowing does not bring to the son of Adam
anything I have not already written in his fate, but

Volume
8, Book 77, Number 607:
Narrated Abu Musa:
While we were with Allah's
Apostle in a holy battle, we never went up a hill or
reached its peak or went down a valley but raised our
voices with Takbir. Allah's Apostle came close to us and
said, "O people! Don't exert yourselves, for you do not
call a deaf or an absent one, but you call the
All-Listener, the All-Seer." The Prophet then said, "O
'Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I teach you a sentence which
is from the treasures of Paradise? ( It is): 'La haula
wala quwata illa billah. (There is neither might nor
power except with Allah)."
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 608:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
That the Prophet said, "No
Caliph is appointed but has two groups of advisors: One
group advises him to do good and urges him to adopt it,
and the other group advises him to do bad and urges him
to adopt it; and the protected is the one whom Allah
protects."
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 609:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
I did not see anything so
resembling minor sins as what Abu Huraira said from the
Prophet, who said, "Allah has written for the son of
Adam 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 longs
for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into
reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation."
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 610:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
(regarding the Verse) "And We
granted the vision (Ascension to the heavens "Miraj")
which We showed you (O Muhammad as an actual eye
witness) but as a trial for mankind.' (17.60): Allah's
Apostle actually saw with his own eyes the vision (all
the things which were shown to him) on the night of his
Night Journey to Jerusalem (and then to the heavens).
The cursed tree which is mentioned in the Qur'an is the
tree of Az-Zaqqum.
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 611:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Adam and
Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O
Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned
us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses!
Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly)
and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do
you blame me for action which Allah had written in my
fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam confuted
Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet added,
repeating the Statement three times.
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 612:
Narrated Warrad:
(the freed slave of Al-Mughira
bin Shu'ba) Muawiya wrote to Mughira. 'Write to me what
you heard the Prophet saying after his prayer.' So
Al-Mughira dictated to me and said, "I heard the Prophet
saying after the prayer, 'None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah Alone Who has no partner. O Allah!
No-one can withhold what You give, and none can give
what You withhold, and the fortune of a man of means is
useless before You (i.e., only good deeds are of
value)."

8, Book 77, Number 613:

"I have kept for you a secret." Ibn Saiyad said,
"Ad-Dukh." The Prophet said, "Keep quiet, for you cannot
go beyond your limits (or you cannot exceed what has
been foreordained for you)." On that, 'Umar said (to the
Prophet ), "Allow me to chop off his neck!" The Prophet
said, "Leave him, for if he is he (i.e., Ad-Dajjal),
then you will not be able to overcome him, and if he is
not, then you gain no good by killing him."
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 616:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I asked Allah's Apostle about
the plague. He said, "That was a means of torture which
Allah used to send upon whom-so-ever He wished, but He
made it a source of mercy for the believers, for anyone
who is residing in a town in which this disease is
present, and remains there and does not leave that town,
but has patience and hopes for Allah's reward, and knows
that nothing will befall him except what Allah has
written for him, then he will get such reward as that of
a martyr."
Volume
8, Book 77, Number 617:
Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:
I saw the Prophet on the Day of
(the battle of) Al-Khandaq, carrying earth with us and
saying, "By Allah, without Allah we would not have been
guided, neither would we have fasted, nor would we have
prayed. O Allah! Send down Sakina (calmness) upon us and
make our feet firm when we meet (the enemy). The pagans
have rebelled against us, but if they want to put us in
affliction (i.e., fight us) we refuse (to flee)." (See
Hadith No. 430, Vol. 5).
