    ✧ God caused those before us to stray from Friday. For the Jews it was Saturday, and for the Christians Sunday. Then God brought us and guided us to Friday.

We are the last in this world, the first on the Day of Resurrection, the ones for whom judgment will be passed on the Day of Resurrection over all creatures. God will gather people on a single plain. When the Garden is brought near, the believers will say, 'Who will open the Garden for us?' They will come to Adam and say, 'O Adam, open the Garden for us.' He will say, 'Did anything expel you from the Garden except the sin of your father Adam? I am not the one for that. Go to your father Ibrahim, the intimate friend of his Lord.' They will come to him and say, 'O Ibrahim, open the Garden for us.' He will say, 'I am not the one for that. I was only an intimate friend from behind a veil. Go to my brother Musa, the one to whom God spoke directly.' They will come to Musa, and he will say, 'I am not the one for that. Go to the word of God and His spirit, Isa.' They will come to him, and he will say, 'I am not the one for that. Go to Muhammad ﷺ.' They will come to Muhammad, and he will ask permission and be granted permission. Then al-Amanah (the Trust) and al-Rahim (the womb) will be sent with him, and they will stand on the two sides of the Sirat, on his right and his left. The first of you will pass like lightning, how quickly will he pass? Then he will return in the blink of an eye. Then he will pass like the wind. Then he will pass like birds. Then like the running of men, their deeds carrying them along. Your Prophet ﷺ will be standing on the Sirat saying, 'Save, save,' until people's deeds fall short. Until a man comes who can only cross crawling. On the edges of the Sirat there are hooked hooks, suspended, commanded to seize whomever they are commanded to seize. So some are saved but scratched, and some are piled into the Fire. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Abu Hurayra, the depth of Jahannam is seventy autumns.

    ✧ Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him not harm his neighbor. Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him honor his guest. It was said, 'O Messenger of God, what is the guest's due?' He said, 'Three days, and whatever is beyond that is charity.' Whoever believes in God and the Last Day, let him speak good or remain silent. And treat women kindly, for woman was created from a rib. The most crooked part of the rib is its top. If you try to straighten it, you will break it, and if you leave it, it remains crooked. So treat women kindly.

He said, 'I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: The first thing for which the son of Adam will be brought to account is his prayer. God says to His angels: Look at My servant's prayer. If they find it complete, it is recorded for him as complete. If they find that some of it is lacking, He says: Look and see if he has any voluntary prayers. Then his prayer is completed from his voluntary prayers, and the deeds are taken according to that measure.'

    ✧ You claim that Abu Hurayra narrates many hadiths from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Allah is the appointed time. I was a poor man serving the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the filling of my stomach. The Muhajirun were occupied with trading in the markets, and the Ansar were occupied with looking after their properties. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever spreads his garment will not forget anything he hears from me.' So I spread my garment until he finished his speech, then I gathered it to myself, and I have not forgotten anything I heard from him.

So those who used to worship the sun will follow the sun, those who used to worship the moon will follow the moon, and those who used to worship false deities will follow the false deities, until this Ummah remains, including its intercessors. The bridge will be set up across the midst of Hell. Then I will be called, and I will be the first to speak. On that day none will speak except the messengers, and the supplication of the messengers on that day will be: O Allah, grant safety, grant safety. On the bridge there will be hooks like the thorns of the sa'dan plant. Have you seen the sa'dan? They said: Yes. He said: They are like the thorns of the sa'dan, except that no one knows the extent of their size except Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. They will snatch people according to their deeds. Among them is the believer who will be saved by his deed, and among them is the one who will be recompensed—or a word resembling it that Ibrahim did not memorize—until when Allah finishes the judgment between the servants, He commands the angels to bring out of the Fire whoever did not associate anything with Allah, among those whom Allah wishes to show mercy. They will bring them out and recognize them by the marks of prostration. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden the Fire to consume the marks of prostration. The water of life will be poured upon them—or he said: from the water of life—and they will grow as a seed grows in the silt carried by a flood. A man will remain, facing the Fire, saying: O Lord, turn my face away; its wind has scorched me and its smoke has burned me. He will say: Did you see that if I grant you that, you will ask Me for something else? He will say: No, by Your might. He will give Allah whatever covenants and pledges He wishes. He will continue supplicating until He turns his face away from the Fire. When he turns his face toward Paradise, he will remain silent as long as Allah wills him to remain silent. Then he will say: O Lord, bring me forward to the gate of Paradise. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will say: Woe to you—or: Woe to you—O son of Adam, how treacherous you are! Did you not give Me your covenants and pledges that you would not ask Me for anything other than what I gave you? He will continue supplicating until He says: Perhaps if I grant you that, you will ask Me for something else. He will give his Lord whatever covenants and pledges He wishes that he will not ask Him for anything else. So He will bring him forward to the gate of Paradise. When he stands at the gate of Paradise, Paradise will open up for him, and he will see what is in it of joy and delight. He will remain silent as long as Allah wills him to remain silent. Then he will say: O Lord, admit me to Paradise. He will say: O son of Adam, how treacherous you are! Did you not give Me your covenants and pledges that you would not ask Me for anything other than what I gave you? He will say: O Lord, I do not want to be the most wretched of Your creation. He will continue supplicating and asking Him until it is said to him: Enter Paradise. Then it will be said to him: Wish. He will wish, until Allah reminds him of such and such, until when his wishes are exhausted, He will say: This is for you and the like of it with it. 521 - (6361) - Ata b. Yazid said: Abu Sa'id was with Abu Hurayra, listening to his hadith without rejecting anything from it, until when he said: This is for you and the like of it with it, Abu Sa'id said: This is for you and ten times the like of it. Abu Hurayra said: I did not memorize from his statement except: This is for you and the like of it with it. Abu Sa'id said: I bear witness that I memorized from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said: It is for you and ten times the like of it. Abu Hurayra said: That is the last man to enter Paradise.

     لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي، لَأَخَّرْتُ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ، فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا مَضَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلُ، هَبَطَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهَا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ، يَقُولُ: أَلَا تَائِبٌ ؟ أَلَا سَائِلٌ يُعْطَى ؟ أَلَا دَاعٍ يُجَابُ ؟ أَلَا مُذْنِبٌ يَسْتَغْفِرُ فَيُغْفَرُ لَهُ ؟ أَلَا سَقِيمٌ يَسْتَشْفِي فَيُشْفَى ؟

     ✧ Were it not that I would make things difficult for my community, I would have delayed the last 'Isha' prayer until a third of the night. For when the first third of the night passes, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, descends to the lowest heaven and remains there until dawn breaks, saying: 'Is there any repentant one? Is there any asker who might be given? Is there any caller who might be answered? Is there any sinner seeking forgiveness who might be forgiven? Is there any sick person seeking healing who might be healed?'

The man said: 'By the One who sent you with the truth, I do not know any other than this, so teach me.' He said: 'When you stand for prayer, say 'Allah is greater,' then recite whatever is easy for you from the Qur'an, then bow until you are at ease bowing, then rise until you are standing straight, then prostrate until you are at ease prostrating, then rise until you are standing straight, then do that in all of your prayer.'

     ✧ Allah created Adam from dust, then made him clay, then left him until he became black mud shaped. He created him and formed him, then left him until he became dry clay like pottery. He said: Iblis would pass by him and say: 'You have been created for a tremendous matter.' Then Allah blew into him His spirit. The first thing in which the spirit flowed was his sight and his nostrils, and he sneezed. Allah taught him to praise his Lord. The Lord said: 'Your Lord has mercy on you.' Then Allah said: 'O Adam, go to those people, greet them, and see what they say.' He came and greeted them, and they said: 'And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.' He returned to his Lord, and He said—though He was most knowing of what they said to him—: 'What did they say to you?' He said: 'O Lord, when I greeted them, they said: And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.' He said: 'O Adam, this is your greeting and the greeting of your descendants.' He said: 'O Lord, and what are my descendants?' He said: 'Choose My hand, O Adam.' He said: 'I choose the right hand of my Lord, and both hands of my Lord are right.' Allah spread His palm, and behold, all that would be from his descendants was in the palm of the Most Merciful, Mighty and Majestic. Among them were men with light upon their mouths. There was a man whose light amazed Adam. He said: 'O Lord, who is this?' He said: 'Your son Dawud.' He said: 'O Lord, how much lifespan have you given him?' He said: 'I have given him sixty years.' He said: 'O Lord, complete for him from my lifespan so that his lifespan becomes one hundred years.' Allah did so and made it witnessed. When Adam's lifespan was ending, Allah sent the angel of death to him. Adam said: 'Do I not have forty years remaining from my lifespan?' The angel said: 'Did you not give them to your son Dawud?' Adam denied that, so his descendants deny, and he forgot, so his descendants forget.

Then prayer is witnessed, attended, and accepted until midday. When midday comes, refrain from praying until the sun declines.' He said: 'At that time Hell is stoked, and the intense heat is from the blaze of Hell. When the sun has declined, prayer is attended, witnessed, and accepted until you pray 'Asr.

     ✧ O assembly of women, I have not seen any among those deficient in intellect and religion who more captivate the hearts of intelligent men than you. I have seen that you are the majority of the people of the Fire on the Day of Resurrection, so draw near to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, with whatever you can. Among the women was the wife of 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud. She went to 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud and told him what she had heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and she took some jewelry of hers. Ibn Mas'ud said: 'Where are you going with this jewelry?' She said: 'I seek to draw near to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and His Messenger ﷺ with it, so that Allah may not make me one of the people of the Fire.' He said: 'Come here, woe to you, give it in charity to me and my children, for we are more deserving of it.' She said: 'No, by Allah, until I take it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' She went to seek permission to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and they said: 'This is Zaynab seeking permission, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Which Zaynab is she?' They said: 'The wife of 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud.' He said: 'Give her permission.' She entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I heard a statement from you, and I returned to Ibn Mas'ud and told him. I took some jewelry to draw near to Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and to you with it, hoping that Allah will not make me one of the people of the Fire. Ibn Mas'ud said to me: Give it in charity to me and my children, for we are more deserving of it. I said: Until I ask permission of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.'

Then she said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about what I heard from you when you stood before us: I have not seen any among those deficient in intellect and religion who more captivate the hearts of intelligent men than you? O Messenger of Allah, what is the deficiency in our religion and our intellect?' He said: 'As for what I mentioned about the deficiency in your religion, it is the menstruation that afflicts you. One of you remains as long as Allah wills without praying or fasting, and that is the deficiency in your religion. As for what I mentioned about the deficiency in your intellect, it is that the testimony of a woman is half of a testimony.'

He said: The Messenger of God ﷺ circumambulated the House and prayed two rak'as, then left through the gate adjacent to al-Safa, climbed al-Safa, and addressed the people while the Ansar were below him. The Ansar said to one another: As for the man, compassion for his people and desire for his town have taken hold of him. Then God Almighty sent down revelation to him about what the Ansar had said. He said: O company of the Ansar, do you say: As for the man, compassion for his people and desire for his town have overtaken him? Then who am I? No, by God, I am the servant of God and His Messenger. Indeed, the living is your living, and the dying is your dying. They said: O Messenger of God, we only said that out of fear that you would leave us. He said: You are truthful before God and before His Messenger. By God, there was not one of them but that his chest was wet with tears from his eyes.
