 “ Allah, the Exalted says, ‘I am just as My slave believes me to be and I am with him when He remembers Me. So if he remembers Me within himself, I too remember him within Myself. If he remembers Me in a group of people then I remember him in a group that is better than them. If he comes one span nearer to Me then I go one cubit nearer to him; if he comes one cubit nearer to Me then I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking then I go to him running.’

was revealed the Prophet ﷺ said, ‘I take refuge with Your Face!’ Allah then said,

“…Or from beneath your feet” [al-An’am (6): 65]

At which the Prophet ﷺ said, ‘I take refuge with Your Face!’ Allah then said,

“…Or confuse you [so that you become] sects” [al-An’am (6): 65]

Upon which the Prophet ﷺ said, ‘this is easier.’

CHAPTER 17

  “in order that you would be brought up under My Eye” [Ta Ha (20): 39]

[The meaning of tusna’a] is to be nurtured and brought up.

  “sailing under Our observation” [al-Qamar (54): 14]


36. Musa bin Isma’il narrated to us; Juwayriyyah narrated to us; from Nafi’; from ‘Abdullah who said,

 “ The Dajjal was mentioned in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ upon which he said, ‘Allah is not hidden from you, indeed Allah is not one-eyed,’ and he pointed with his hand towards his eye. [He continued], ‘indeed Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right eye and his eye looks like a protruding grape.’

37. Hafs bin ‘Umar narrated to us; Shu’bah narrated to us; Qatadah informed us; I heard Anas (RA) say that the Prophet ﷺ said,

 “ Allah did not send any prophet except that he warned his people against the one-eyed arch-liar. Indeed he is one-eyed while your Lord is not one-eyed, the word kafir (unbeliever) is written between his two eyes.

 “ During the military expedition against Bani al-Mustaliq the [Muslims] took female captives and intended to have sexual relation with them, but without impregnating them. So they asked the Prophet about coitus interruptus. He said, ‘it would not harm you to refrain from it for Allah has written whom He is going to create until the Day of Resurrection.’

Mujahid said; from Qaza’a; I heard Abu Sa’id saying that the Prophet ﷺ said,

 “ No soul is created except that Allah is its Creator.

CHAPTER 19

The Saying of Allah, the Exalted,

  “to whom I have created with My Two Hands” [Sad (38): 75]


39. Mu’adh bin Fadalah narrated to me; Hisham narrated to us; from Qatadah; from Anas that the Prophet ﷺ said,

 “ Allah will gather the believers on the Day of Resurrection for [the Judgement] and they will say, “let us ask someone to intercede for us with our Lord that He may relieve us from [the severity of] this place of ours.” They will then go to Adam and say, “O Adam! Do you not see the [state of] the people? Allah Created you with His Hand, ordered His angels to prostrate before you and taught you the names of all the things. Intercede for us with our Lord so that He may relieve us from [the severity of] this place of ours.” Adam will say, “I am not fit for this undertaking” and mention to them the mistakes he had committed. [Then he will say], “but go to Nuh for he was the first Messenger sent by Allah to the people of the earth.”

They will then go to Nuh [requesting the intercession but] he will reply, “I am not fit for this undertaking,” and mention the mistakes he had committed. [Then he will say], “but go to Ibrahim, Khalil ar-Rahman (The beloved friend of the Most Merciful).”

They will then go to Ibrahim [requesting the intercession but] he will reply, “I am not fit for this undertaking,” and mention to them the mistakes he had committed. [Then he will say], “but go to Musa, a servant to whom Allah bestowed the Torah and to whom He spoke directly.”

They will then go to Musa [requesting the intercession but he] will reply, “I am not fit for this undertaking,” and mention to them the mistakes he had committed. [Then he will say], “but go to Jesus, the servant of Allah, His Apostle, His Word and a soul [created by Him].”

They will then go to Jesus [requesting the intercession but he] will say, “I am not fit for this undertaking, but go to Muhammad ﷺ a servant whose sins of the past and the future have been forgiven.”


So they will come to me and I will ask the permission of my Lord, and I will be permitted [to present myself] before Him. When I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration before Him and He will leave me [in the state of prostration] for as long as He wishes. Then it will be said to me, “O Muhammad! Rise and speak and you will be listened to; ask and you will be granted [your request]; intercede and your intercession will be accepted.” I will praise my Lord with certain praises that He taught me and then I will intercede. Allah will appoint for me those I can intercede for and I will admit them into Paradise.

I will then return and when I see my Lord [again], I will fall down in prostration before Him. He will leave me [in the state of prostration] for as long as He wishes. Then it will be said, “O Muhammad! Rise and speak and you will be listened to; ask and you will be granted [your request]; intercede and your intercession will be accepted.” I will then praise my Lord with certain praises that He taught me and then I will intercede. Allah will appoint for me those I can intercede for and I will admit them into Paradise.

I will then return again and when I see my Lord [again], I will fall down in prostration before Him. He will leave me [in the state of prostration] for as long as He wishes. Then it will be said, “O Muhammad! Rise and speak and you will be listened to; ask and you will be granted [your request]; intercede and your intercession will be accepted.” I will then praise my Lord with certain praises that He taught me and then I will intercede. Allah will appoint for me those I can intercede for and I will admit them into Paradise.

Then I will return and say, “O my Lord! None remains in the Fire except those whom Qur’an has imprisoned therein and for whom eternity has become inevitable.”

The Prophet further said, “everyone who says ‘La ilaha illAllah,’ and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a barley grain will come out of the Fire. Then everyone who says ‘La ilaha illAllah,’ and has in his heart good equal to the weight of a wheat grain will come out of the Fire. Then everyone who says ‘La ilaha illAllah,’ and has in his heart good equal to the weight of an atom will come out of the Fire.”

40. Abu al-Yaman narrated to us; Shu’ayb informed us; Abu az-Zinad narrated to us; from al-A’raj; from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said

 “ ‘Allah’s Hand is full, and it is not diminished by the continuous spending, day and night.’ He also said, ‘do you see what He has spent since He created the Heavens and the Earth? Yet all that has not decreased what is in His Hand.’ He also said, ‘His Throne is over the water and in His other Hand is the scale by which He lowers [and humiliates] and elevates [and exalts].’

41. Muqaddam bin Muhammad narrated to us; my uncle, Qasim bin Yahya narrated to me; from ‘Ubaidullah; from Nafi’; from ibn ‘Umar (RA) that

 “ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will Grasp the earth and the Heavens will be in His Right Hand. Then He will say, “I am the King.” ‘

It is [also] reported by Sa’id from Malik.

42. ‘Umar bin Hamzah said; I heard Salim [saying]; I heard ibn ‘Umar report this from the Prophet ﷺ.

Abu al-Yaman said; Shu’ayb informed us; from az-Zuhri; Abu Salamah informed me; that Abu Hurayrah said,

 “ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, ‘Allah will Grasp the earth.’

43. Musaddad narrated to us; he heard Yahya bin Sa’id [report]; from Sa’id bin Sufyan; Mansur and Sulayman narrated to me; from Ibrahim; from ‘Ubaydah; from ‘Abdullah that

 “ A Jew came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, ‘O Muhammad! Allah will hold the heavens on a Finger, the earths on a Finger, the mountains on a Finger, the trees on a Finger, and all the [remainder of] creation on a Finger, then He will say, “I am the King.” ‘ On hearing that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled till his premolar teeth became visible and recited,

“They have not appraised Allah with true, deserving appraisal…” [az-Zumar (39): 67]

Yahya bin Sa’id said; Fudayl bin ‘Ayad added; from Mansur; from Ibrahim; from ‘Ubaydah; from ‘Abdullah,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled in order to express his wonder and affirmation at what was said.

44. ‘Umar bin Hafs bin Ghiyath narrated to us; my father narrated to us; al-A’mash narrated to us; I heard Ibrahim saying; I heard ‘Alqamah saying; ‘Abdullah said,

 “ A man from the People of the Book came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, ‘O Abu al-Qasim! Indeed Allah will hold the heavens upon a Finger, the earths on a Finger, the trees and land on a Finger, and all the [remainder of] creation on a Finger. Then He will say, “I am the King! I am the King!” ‘

Thereupon I saw the Prophet smiling till his premolar teeth became visible and he recited,

“They have not appraised Allah with true, deserving appraisal…” [az-Zumar (39): 67]
