> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 1: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Said bin Al-Mu'alla: 
> 
>      While I was praying in the Mosque, Allah's
>      Apostle called me but I did not respond to him.
>      Later I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I was praying."
>      He said, "Didn't Allah say'--"Give your response
>      to Allah (by obeying Him) and to His Apostle
>      when he calls you." (8.24) 
> 
>      He then said to me, "I will teach you a Sura
>      which is the greatest Sura in the Qur'an, before
>      you leave the Mosque." Then he got hold of my
>      hand, and when he intended to leave (the
>      Mosque), I said to him, "Didn't you say to me, 'I
>      will teach you a Sura which is the greatest Sura in
>      the Quran?' He said, "Al-Hamdu-Lillah
>      Rabbi-l-Alamin (i.e. Praise be to Allah, the Lord
>      of the worlds) which is Al-Sab'a Al-Mathani (i.e.
>      seven repeatedly recited Verses) and the Grand
>      Qur'an which has been given to me." 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 2: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle said, "When the Imam says:
>      'Ghair-il-Maghdubi 'Alaihim Walad-Dallin (i.e.
>      not the path of those who earn Your Anger, nor
>      the path of those who went astray (1.7)), then
>      you must say, 'Ameen', for if one's utterance of
>      'Ameen' coincides with that of the angels, then his
>      past sins will be forgiven." 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 3: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "On the Day of Resurrection
>      the Believers will assemble and say, 'Let us ask
>      somebody to intercede for us with our Lord.' So
>      they will go to Adam and say, 'You are the father
>      of all the people, and Allah created you with His
>      Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate
>      to you, and taught you the names of all things; so
>      please intercede for us with your Lord, so that
>      He may relieve us from this place of ours.' Adam
>      will say, 'I am not fit for this (i.e. intercession for
>      you).' Then Adam will remember his sin and feel
>      ashamed thereof. He will say, 'Go to Noah, for
>      he was the first Apostle, Allah sent to the
>      inhabitants of the earth.' They will go to him and
>      Noah will say, 
> 
>      'I am not fit for this undertaking.' He will
>      remember his appeal to his Lord to do what he
>      had no knowledge of, then he will feel ashamed
>      thereof and will say, 'Go to the Khalil--r-Rahman
>      (i.e. Abraham).' They will go to him and he will
>      say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking. Go to
>      Moses, the slave to whom Allah spoke (directly)
>      and gave him the Torah .' So they will go to him
>      and he will say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking.'
>      and he will mention (his) killing a person who
>      was not a killer, and so he will feel ashamed
>      thereof before his Lord, and he will say, 'Go to
>      Jesus, Allah's Slave, His Apostle and Allah's
>      Word and a Spirit coming from Him. Jesus will
>      say, 'I am not fit for this undertaking, go to
>      Muhammad the Slave of Allah whose past and
>      future sins were forgiven by Allah.' So they will
>      come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my
>      Lord's Permission and I will be given permission.
>      When I see my Lord, I will fall down in
>      Prostration and He will let me remain in that state
>      as long as He wishes and then I will be
>      addressed.' (Muhammad!) Raise your head.
>      Ask, and your request will be granted; say, and
>      your saying will be listened to; intercede, and
>      your intercession will be accepted.' I will raise
>      my head and praise Allah with a saying (i.e.
>      invocation) He will teach me, and then I will
>      intercede. He will fix a limit for me (to intercede
>      for) whom I will admit into Paradise. Then I will
>      come back again to Allah, and when I see my
>      Lord, the same thing will happen to me. And then
>      I will intercede and Allah will fix a limit for me to
>      intercede whom I will let into Paradise, then I will
>      come back for the third time; and then I will
>      come back for the fourth time, and will say,
>      'None remains in Hell but those whom the Quran
>      has imprisoned (in Hell) and who have been
>      destined to an eternal stay in Hell.' " (The
>      compiler) Abu 'Abdullah said: 'But those whom

>      Statement of Allah: 
> 
>      "They will dwell therein forever." (16.29) 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 4: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah: 
> 
>      I asked the Prophet, "What is the greatest sin in
>      the Sight of Allah?" He said, "That you set up a
>      rival unto Allah though He Alone created you." I
>      said, "That is indeed a great sin." Then asked,
>      "What is next?" He said, "To kill your son lest he
>      should share your food with you." I asked,
>      "What is next?" He said, "To commit illegal
>      sexual intercourse with the wife of your
>      neighbor." 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 5: 
> 
>      Narrated Said bin Zaid: 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle said, "The Kam'a (i.e. a kind of
>      edible fungus) is like the Manna (in that it is
>      obtained without effort) and its water is a
>      (medicine) cure for eye trouble." 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 6: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "It was said to the children of
>      Israel, 'Enter the gate (of the town), prostrate (in
>      humility) and say: Hittatun (i.e. repentance) i.e. O
>      Allah! 
> 
>      Forgive our sins.' But they entered by dragging
>      themselves on their buttocks, so they did
>      something different (from what they had been
>      ordered to do) and said, 'Hittatun,' but added,
>      "A grain in a hair." 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 7: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas: 
> 
>      'Abdullah bin Salam heard the news of the arrival
>      of Allah's Apostle (at Medina) while he was on a
>      farm collecting its fruits. So he came to the
>      Prophet and said, "I will ask you about three
>      things which nobody knows unless he be a
>      prophet. Firstly, what is the first portent of the
>      Hour? What is the first meal of the people of
>      Paradise? And what makes a baby look like its
>      father or mother?'. The Prophet said, "Just now
>      Gabriel has informed me about that." 'Abdullah
>      said, "Gabriel?" The Prophet said, "Yes."
>      'Abdullah said, "He, among the angels is the
>      enemy of the Jews." On that the Prophet recited
>      this Holy Verse:-- 
> 
>      "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel (let him die in
>      his fury!) for he has brought it (i.e. Qur'an) down
>      to your heart by Allah's permission." (2.97) Then
>      he added, "As for the first portent of the Hour, it
>      will be a fire that will collect the people from the
>      East to West. And as for the first meal of the
>      people of Paradise, it will be the caudite (i.e.
>      extra) lobe of the fish liver. And if a man's
>      discharge proceeded that of the woman, then the
>      child resembles the father, and if the woman's
>      discharge proceeded that of the man, then the
>      child resembles the mother." On hearing that,
>      'Abdullah said, "I testify that None has the right
>      to be worshipped but Allah, and that you are the
>      Apostle of Allah, O, Allah's Apostle; the Jews
>      are liars, and if they should come to know that I
>      have embraced Islam, they would accuse me of
>      being a liar." In the meantime some Jews came
>      (to the Prophet) and he asked them, "What is
>      'Abdullah's status amongst you?" They replied,
>      "He is the best amongst us, and he is our chief
>      and the son of our chief." The Prophet said,
>      "What would you think if 'Abdullah bin Salam
>      embraced Islam?" They replied, "May Allah
>      protect him from this!" Then 'Abdullah came out
>      and said, "I testify that None has the right to be
>      worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the
>      Apostle of Allah." The Jews then said, "Abdullah
>      is the worst of us and the son of the worst of us,"
>      and disparaged him. On that 'Abdullah said, "O
>      Allah's Apostle! This is what I was afraid of!"

> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 8: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn Abbas: 
> 
>      Umar said, "Our best Qur'an reciter is Ubai and
>      our best judge is 'Ali; and in spite of this, we
>      leave some of the statements of Ubai because
>      Ubai says, 'I do not leave anything that I have
>      heard from Allah's Apostle while Allah: 
> 
>      "Whatever verse (Revelations) do We abrogate
>      or cause to be forgotten but We bring a better
>      one or similar to it." (2.106) 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 9: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn Abbas: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "Allah said, 'The son of Adam
>      tells a lie against me though he has no right to do
>      so, and he abuses Me though he has no right to
>      do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is that
>      he claims that I cannot recreate him as I created
>      him before; and as for his abusing Me, it is his
>      statement that I have offspring. No! Glorified be
>      Me! I am far from taking a wife or offspring.' " 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 10: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas: 
> 
>      Umar said, "I agreed with Allah in three things,"
>      or said, "My Lord agreed with me in three things.
>      I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Would that you took
>      the station of Abraham as a place of prayer.' I
>      also said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Good and bad
>      persons visit you! Would that you ordered the
>      Mothers of the believers to cover themselves
>      with veils.' So the Divine Verses of Al-Hijab (i.e.
>      veiling of the women) were revealed. I came to
>      know that the Prophet had blamed some of his
>      wives so I entered upon them and said, 'You
>      should either stop (troubling the Prophet ) or else
>      Allah will give His Apostle better wives than
>      you.' When I came to one of his wives, she said
>      to me, 'O 'Umar! Does Allah's Apostle haven't
>      what he could advise his wives with, that you try
>      to advise them?' " Thereupon Allah revealed:-- 
> 
>      "It may be, if he divorced you (all) his Lord will
>      give him instead of you, wives better than you
>      Muslims (who submit to Allah).." (66.5) 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 11: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      (The wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle said,
>      "Don't you see that when your people built the
>      Ka'ba, they did not build it on all Abraham's
>      foundations?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why
>      don't you rebuild it on Abraham's foundations?"
>      He said, "Were your people not so close to (the
>      period of Heathenism, i.e. the Period between
>      their being Muslims and being infidels), I would
>      do so." The sub-narrator, 'Abdullah bin 'Umar
>      said, "Aisha had surely heard Allah's Apostle
>      saying that, for I do not think that Allah's Apostle
>      left touching the two corners of the Ka'ba facing
>      Al-Hijr except because the Ka'ba was not built
>      on all Abraham's foundations." 
> 
> Volume 6, Book 60, Number 12:

>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      The people of the Scripture (Jews) used to recite
>      the Torah in Hebrew and they used to explain it
>      in Arabic to the Muslims. On that Allah's Apostle

>      in the state of bowing. He said, "I, (swearing by
