Narrated Nafi`:Ibn `Umar said, "In the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) I dreamt that a piece of silk cloth was in my hand and it flew with me to whichever part of Paradise I wanted. I also saw as if two persons (i.e. angels) came to me and wanted to take me to Hell. Then an angel met us and told me not to be afraid. He then told them to leave me. Hafsa narrated one of my dreams to the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Abdullah is a good man. Would that he offer the night prayer (Tahajjud)!" So after that day `Abdullah (bin `Umar) started offering Tahajjud. The companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) used to tell him their dreams that (Laila-tul-Qadr) was on the 27th of the month of Ramadan. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I see that your dreams agree on the last ten nights of Ramadan and so whoever is in search of it should seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan

Narrated Mahmud bin Ar-rabi' Al-Ansari:that he remembered Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he also remembered a mouthful of water which he had thrown on his face, after taking it from a well that was in their house. Mahmud said that he had heard `Itban bin Malik, who was present with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the battle of Badr saying, "I used to lead my people at Bani Salim in the prayer and there was a valley between me and those people. Whenever it rained it used to be difficult for me to cross it to go to their mosque. So I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, 'I have weak eyesight and the valley between me and my people flows during the rainy season and it becomes difficult for me to cross it; I wish you would come to my house and pray at a place so that I could take that place as a praying place.' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'I will do so.' So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr came to my house in the (next) morning after the sun had risen high. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked my permission to let him in and I admitted him. He did not sit before saying, 'Where do you want us to offer the prayer in your house?' I pointed to the place where I wanted him to pray. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up for the prayer and started the prayer with Takbir and we aligned in rows behind him; and he offered two rak`at, and finished them with Taslim, and we also performed Taslim with him. I detained him for a meal called "Khazir" which I had prepared for him.--("Khazir" is a special type of dish prepared from barley flour and meat soup)-- When the neighbors got the news that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in my house, they poured in till there were a great number of men in the house. One of them said, 'What is wrong with Malik, for I do not see him?' One of them replied, 'He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle.' On that Allah's Apostle said, 'Don't say this. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah for Allah's sake only.' The man replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better; but by Allah, we never saw him but helping and talking with the hypocrites.' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, 'No doubt, whoever says. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and by that he wants the pleasures of Allah, then Allah will save him from Hell." Mahmud added, "I told the above narration to some people, one of whom was Abu Aiyub, the companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the battle in which he (Abu Aiyub) died and Yazid bin Mu'awiya was their leader in Roman Territory. Abu Aiyub denounced the narration and said, 'I doubt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ever said what you have said.' I felt that too much, and I vowed to Allah that if I remained alive in that holy battle, I would (go to Medina and) ask `Itban bin Malik if he was still living in the mosque of his people. So when he returned, I assumed Ihram for Hajj or `Umra and then I proceeded on till I reached Medina. I went to Bani Salim and `Itban bin Malik, who was by then an old blind man, was leading his people in the prayer. When he finished the prayer, I greeted him and introduced myself to him and then asked him about that narration. He told that narration again in the same manner as he had narrated it the first time
ہم سے اسحاق بن راہویہ نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے یعقوب بن ابراہیم نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے ہمارے باپ ابراہیم بن سعد نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابن شہاب نے کہا کہ مجھے محمود بن ربیع انصاری رضی اللہ عنہ نے خبر دی کہ انہیں نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم یاد ہیں اور آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی وہ کلی بھی یاد ہے جو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان کے گھر کے کنویں سے پانی لے کر ان کے منہ میں کی تھی۔

Narrated `Aisha:Once the sun eclipsed and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up for the prayer and recited a very long Sura and then bowed for a long while and then raised his head and started reciting another Sura. Then he bowed, and after finishing, he prostrated and did the same in the second rak`a and then said, "These (lunar and solar eclipses) are two of the signs of Allah and if you see them, pray till the eclipse is over. No doubt, while standing at this place I saw everything promised to me by Allah and I saw (Paradise) and I wanted to pluck a bunch (of grapes) therefrom, at the time when you saw me stepping forward. No doubt, I saw Hell with its different parts destroying each other when you saw me retreating and in it I saw `Amr bin Luhai who started the tradition of freeing animals (set them free) in the name of idols
ہم سے محمد بن مقاتل نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم کو عبداللہ بن مبارک نے خبر دی، کہا کہ ہم کو یونس نے خبر دی، انہیں زہری نے، ان سے عروہ نے بیان کیا کہ عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے بتلایا کہ جب سورج گرہن لگا تو نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ( نماز کے لیے ) کھڑے ہوئے اور ایک لمبی سورت پڑھی۔ پھر رکوع کیا اور بہت لمبا رکوع کیا۔ پھر سر اٹھایا اس کے بعد دوسری سورت شروع کر دی، پھر رکوع کیا اور رکوع پورا کر کے اس رکعت کو ختم کیا اور سجدے میں گئے۔ پھر دوسری رکعت میں بھی آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اسی طرح کیا، نماز سے فارغ ہو کر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ سورج اور چاند اللہ کی نشانیوں میں سے دو نشانیاں ہیں۔ اس لیے جب تم ان میں گرہن دیکھو تو نماز شروع کر دو جب تک کہ یہ صاف ہو جائے اور دیکھو میں نے اپنی اسی جگہ سے ان تمام چیزوں کو دیکھ لیا ہے جن کا مجھ سے وعدہ ہے۔ یہاں تک کہ میں نے یہ بھی دیکھا کہ میں جنت کا ایک خوشہ لینا چاہتا ہوں۔ ابھی تم لوگوں نے دیکھا ہو گا کہ میں آگے بڑھنے لگا تھا اور میں نے دوزخ بھی دیکھی ( اس حالت میں کہ ) بعض آگ بعض آگ کو کھائے جا رہی تھی۔ تم لوگوں نے دیکھا ہو گا کہ جہنم کے اس ہولناک منظر کو دیکھ کر میں پیچھے ہٹ گیا تھا۔ میں نے جہنم کے اندر عمرو بن لحیی کو دیکھا۔ یہ وہ شخص ہے جس نے سانڈ کی رسم عرب میں جاری کی تھی۔ ( نوٹ: سانڈ کی رسم سے مراد کہ اونٹنی کو غیر اللہ کے نام پر چھوڑ دینا حتیٰ کہ سواری اور دودھ بھی نہ دھونا۔)
Narrated `Abdullah:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Anyone who dies worshipping others along with Allah will definitely enter the Fire." I said, "Anyone who dies worshipping none along with Allah will definitely enter Paradise
ہم سے عمر بن حفص نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے میرے باپ حفص بن غیاث نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے اعمش نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم سے شقیق بن سلمہ نے بیان کیا اور ان سے عبداللہ بن مسعود نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جو شخص اس حالت میں مرے کہ کسی کو اللہ کا شریک ٹھہراتا تھا تو وہ جہنم میں جائے گا اور میں یہ کہتا ہوں کہ جو اس حال میں مرا کہ اللہ کا کوئی شریک نہ ٹھہراتا ہو وہ جنت میں جائے گا۔

The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Even two (would screen her from the (Hell) Fire. " And Abu Huraira added, "Those children should be below the age of puberty
