He inquired: Is there any stranger amongst you, that is, the people of the Book?” We said: No, O Rasulullah! He then asked us to shut the door and said: Raise your hands and say La ilaha illallah. So, we raised our hands for a while (and recite the Kalimah). Afterwards Nabi Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam lowered his hand and said: Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). O Allah! Verily, You have sent me with this Kalimah and have ordered me to convey it and have promised me Paradise on it, and verily, You do not break your Promise. He then said addressing the Sahabah: Indeed, rejoice for Allah has forgiven you! (Musnad Ahmad, Tabarani, Bazzar, Majma-‘uz-Zawaid)

The enemy is going to attack by dawn. So everyone gathered near him; some came themselves, some sent their representatives. Then Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: O Banu ‘Abdul Muttalib, O Banu Fihr, O you of such and such tribe! Tell me if I give you the news that there is a cavalry behind the mountain ready to charge at you; would you believe me? All of them replied: Yes! He said: So indeed I am a warner for you, about a terrible punishment before it comes. Abu Lahab reacted: May you be perished, forever? Did you call us only for this? At this, Allah ‘Azza wa Jall revealed Surah Al Masad: تبّت ÙŠَداَ أبي لهبِ Ùˆّتبّ (Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he). (Musnad Ahmad, Al-Bidaya-wan-Nihaya)

The Sahabah asked: O Rasulullah! How can they be with us when they are in Madina? He said: They intended to go out with you but were detained by a valid reason.” (Abu Dawud)

Hearing it, they will rise. Then, it will be said to them: What were the deeds you performed? They will reply: O our Rabb (Sustainer)! You tried and tested us and we endured with patience, whereas You gave wealth and authority to others. Allah will say: You have spoken the truth. Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam said: These people will enter Paradise before the rest of mankind. Subsequently, a strict accountability will be left for the wealthy and the rulers.” (Ibne-Hibban)

It does not befit one endowed with the Qur’an that he gets annoyed with those who are in anger, nor should he indulge in any act of ignorance with those who are ignorant, while he has the Book of Allah inside his heart. (Mustadrak Hakim, Targhib)
