Allah's Apostle said, "When the
believers pass safely over (the bridge across) Hell, they will
be stopped at a bridge in between Hell and Paradise where they
will retaliate upon each other for the injustices done among
them in the world, and when they get purified of all their sins,
they will be admitted into Paradise. By Him in Whose Hands the
life of Muhammad is everybody will recognize his dwelling in
Paradise better than he recognizes his dwelling in this world."

While I was walking with Ibn 'Umar

have you heard from Allah's Apostle about An-Najwa?" Ibn 'Umar
said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Allah will bring a
believer near Him and shelter him with His Screen and ask him:
Did you commit such-and-such sins? He will say: Yes, my Lord.
Allah will keep on asking him till he will confess all his sins
and will think that he is ruined. Allah will say: 'I did screen
your sins in the world and I forgive them for you today', and
then he will be given the book of his good deeds. Regarding
infidels and hypocrites (their evil acts will be exposed
publicly) and the witnesses will say: These are the people who
lied against their Lord. Behold! The Curse of Allah is upon the
wrongdoers." (11.18)

bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and
whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of
Resurrection . "

in the streets of Medina. Some people said, "Some people were

way?" He said, "They are the lowering of your gazes (on seeing

thirst. He said to himself, "This dog is suffering from thirst
as I did." So, he went down the well again and filled his shoe
with water and watered it. Allah thanked him for that deed and
forgave him. The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is there a
reward for us in serving the animals?" He replied: "Yes, there
is a reward for serving any animate (living being)." (See Hadith

afflictions amongst your houses as numerous as the spots where
rain-drops fall (during a heavy rain). (See Hadith No. 102)
Volume 3, Book
43, Number 648:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
I had been eager to ask 'Umar about the
two ladies from among the wives of the Prophet regarding whom
Allah said (in the Qur'an saying): If you two (wives of the
Prophet namely Aisha and Hafsa) turn in repentance to Allah your
hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet likes)
(66.4), till performed the Hajj along with 'Umar (and on our way
back from Hajj) he went aside (to answer the call of nature) and
I also went aside along with him carrying a tumbler of water.
When he had answered the call of nature and returned. I poured
water on his hands from the tumbler and he performed ablution. I
said, "O Chief of the believers! ' Who were the two ladies from
among the wives of the Prophet to whom Allah said:
'If you two return in repentance
(66.4)? He said, "I am astonished at your question, O Ibn
'Abbas. They were Aisha and Hafsa."
Then 'Umar went on relating the
narration and said. "I and an Ansari neighbor of mine from Bani
Umaiya bin Zaid who used to live in 'Awali Al-Medina, used to
visit the Prophet in turns. He used to go one day, and I another
day. When I went I would bring him the news of what had happened
that day regarding the instructions and orders and when he went,
he used to do the same for me. We, the people of Quraish, used
to have authority over women, but when we came to live with the
Ansar, we noticed that the Ansari women had the upper hand over
their men, so our women started acquiring the habits of the
Ansari women. Once I shouted at my wife and she paid me back in
my coin and I disliked that she should answer me back. She said,
'Why do you take it ill that I retort upon you? By Allah, the
wives of the Prophet retort upon him, and some of them may not
speak with him for the whole day till night.' What she said
scared me and I said to her, 'Whoever amongst them does so, will
be a great loser.' Then I dressed myself and went to Hafsa and
asked her, 'Does any of you keep Allah's Apostle angry all the
day long till night?' She replied in the affirmative. I said,
'She is a ruined losing person (and will never have success)!
Doesn't she fear that Allah may get angry for the anger of
Allah's Apostle and thus she will be ruined? Don't ask Allah's
Apostle too many things, and don't retort upon him in any case,
and don't desert him. Demand from me whatever you like, and
don't be tempted to imitate your neighbor (i.e. 'Aisha) in her
behavior towards the Prophet), for she (i.e. Aisha) is more
beautiful than you, and more beloved to Allah's Apostle.
In those days it was rumored that
Ghassan, (a tribe living in Sham) was getting prepared their
horses to invade us. My companion went (to the Prophet on the
day of his turn, went and returned to us at night and knocked at
my door violently, asking whether I was sleeping. I was scared
(by the hard knocking) and came out to him. He said that a great
thing had happened. I asked him: What is it? Have Ghassan come?
He replied that it was worse and more serious than that, and
added that Allah's Apostle had divorced all his wives. I said,
Hafsa is a ruined loser! I expected that would happen some day.'
So I dressed myself and offered the Fajr prayer with the
Prophet. Then the Prophet entered an upper room and stayed there
alone. I went to Hafsa and found her weeping. I asked her, 'Why
are you weeping? Didn't I warn you? Have Allah's Apostle
divorced you all?' She replied, 'I don't know. He is there in
the upper room.' I then went out and came to the pulpit and
found a group of people around it and some of them were weeping.
Then I sat with them for some time, but could not endure the
situation. So I went to the upper room where the Prophet was and
requested to a black slave of his: "Will you get the permission
of (Allah's Apostle) for Umar (to enter)? The slave went in,
talked to the Prophet about it and came out saying, 'I mentioned
you to him but he did not reply.' So, I went and sat with the
people who were sitting by the pulpit, but I could not bear the
situation, so I went to the slave again and said: "Will you get
he permission for Umar? He went in and brought the same reply as
before. When I was leaving, behold, the slave called me saying,
"Allah's Apostle has granted you permission." So, I entered upon
the Prophet and saw him lying on a mat without wedding on it,
and the mat had left its mark on the body of the Prophet, and he
was leaning on a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. I
greeted him and while still standing, I said: "Have you divorced
your wives?' He raised his eyes to me and replied in the
negative. And then while still standing, I said chatting: "Will
you heed what I say, 'O Allah's Apostle! We, the people of
Quraish used to have the upper hand over our women (wives), and
when we came to the people whose women had the upper hand over
them..."
'Umar told the whole story (about his
wife). "On that the Prophet smiled." 'Umar further said, "I then
said, 'I went to Hafsa and said to her: Do not be tempted to
imitate your companion ('Aisha) for she is more beautiful than
you and more beloved to the Prophet.' The Prophet smiled again.
When I saw him smiling, I sat down and cast a glance at the
room, and by Allah, I couldn't see anything of importance but
three hides. I said (to Allah's Apostle) "Invoke Allah to make
your followers prosperous for the Persians and the Byzantines
have been made prosperous and given worldly luxuries, though
they do not worship Allah?' The Prophet was leaning then (and on
hearing my speech he sat straight) and said, 'O Ibn Al-Khatttab!
Do you have any doubt (that the Hereafter is better than this
world)? These people have been given rewards of their good deeds
in this world only.' I asked the Prophet . 'Please ask Allah's
forgiveness for me. The Prophet did not go to his wives because
of the secret which Hafsa had disclosed to 'Aisha, and he said
that he would not go to his wives for one month as he was angry
with them when Allah admonished him (for his oath that he would
not approach Maria). When twenty-nine days had passed, the
Prophet went to Aisha first of all. She said to him, 'You took
an oath that you would not come to us for one month, and today
only twenty-nine days have passed, as I have been counting them
day by day.' The Prophet said, 'The month is also of twenty-nine
days.' That month consisted of twenty-nine days. 'Aisha said,
'When the Divine revelation of Choice was revealed, the Prophet
started with me, saying to me, 'I am telling you something, but
you needn't hurry to give the reply till you can consult your
parents." 'Aisha knew that her parents would not advise her to
part with the Prophet . The Prophet said that Allah had said:--
'O Prophet! Say To your wives; If you
desire The life of this world And its glitter, ... then come! I
will make a provision for you and set you free In a handsome
manner. But if you seek Allah And His Apostle, and The Home of
the Hereafter, then Verily, Allah has prepared For the
good-doers amongst you A great reward.' (33.28) 'Aisha said, 'Am
I to consult my parents about this? I indeed prefer Allah, His
Apostle, and the Home of the Hereafter.' After that the Prophet
gave the choice to his other wives and they also gave the same
reply as 'Aisha did."
Volume 3, Book
43, Number 649:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle took an oath that he
would not go to his wives for one month as his foot had been
sprained. He stayed in an upper room when 'Umar went to him and
said, "Have you divorced your wives?" He said, "No, but I have
taken an oath that I would not go to them for one month." The
Prophet stayed there for twenty-nine days, and then came down
and went to his wives.

mother. She came to him the second time and called him and said,
"O Allah! Do not let him die until he sees the faces of
prostitutes." Juraij used to live in a hermitage. A woman said
that she would entice Juraij, so she went to him and presented
herself (for an evil act) but he refused. She then went to a
shepherd and allowed him to commit an illegal sexual intercourse
with her and later she gave birth to a boy. She alleged that the
baby was from Juraij. The people went to Juraij and broke down
his hermitage, pulled him out of it and abused him. He performed
ablution and offered the prayer, then he went to the male (baby)
and asked him; "O boy! Who is your father?" The baby replied
that his father was the shepherd. The people said that they
would build for him a hermitage of gold but Juraij asked them to
make it of mud only."
