Musaddad and Ishaq said: Mu‘adh related to us; my father related to me, from Qatada, from Abu al-Mutawakkil al-Naji, from Abu Sa‘id, from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “When the believers have been delivered from the Fire, they will be held at a bridge between the Garden and the Fire. They will settle accounts among themselves for the wrongs they committed in this world. When they have been cleansed and refined, they will be permitted to enter the Garden. By Him in whose hand is Muhammad’s soul, each of them will know his place in the Garden better than he knew it in this world.”

Abu al-Duha said: Masruq and Shutayr ibn Shakal met in the mosque, and the circles of people sitting there gathered around them. Masruq said, “I think these people have gathered around us only to hear something good from us. Either you relate something from ‘Abd Allah and I will confirm you, or I relate something from ‘Abd Allah and you will confirm me.” He said, “Speak, Abu ‘A’ishah.” Masruq asked, “Did you hear ‘Abd Allah say, ‘The eyes commit fornication, the hands commit fornication, and the feet commit fornication; then the private parts either confirm that or deny it’?” He replied, “Yes.” Masruq said, “I heard him say it too. Did you hear ‘Abd Allah say, ‘There is no verse in the Qur’an that brings together what is lawful and unlawful, command and prohibition, more comprehensively than this verse: “Allah commands justice, excellence, and giving to relatives”’?” He replied, “Yes.” Masruq said, “I heard him say it too. Did you hear ‘Abd Allah say, ‘There is no verse in the Qur’an that brings relief more quickly than His words: “Whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make a way out for him”’?” He replied, “Yes.” Masruq said, “I heard him say it too. Did you hear ‘Abd Allah say, ‘There is no verse in the Qur’an that more strongly entrusts one’s affairs to Allah than His words: “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of Allah’s mercy”’?” He replied, “Yes.” Masruq said, “I heard him say that too.”

‘Abd al-A‘la ibn Mushir related to us—or it reached me from him—that Sa‘id ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz related to us, from Rabi‘ah ibn Yazid, from Abu Idris al-Khawlani, from Abu Dharr, from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, reporting from Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, who said: “O My servants, I have forbidden injustice for Myself and made it forbidden among you, so do not wrong one another. O My servants, you are the ones who err by night and by day, and I forgive sins and do not mind; so ask Me for forgiveness and I will forgive you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except those whom I feed, so ask Me for food and I will feed you. O My servants, all of you are unclothed except those whom I clothe, so ask Me for clothing and I will clothe you. O My servants, if the first and last of you, and your humans and jinn, were all as devout as the most devout heart of any one of you, that would add nothing to My dominion. And if they were all as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one of you, that would diminish nothing of My dominion. If they all gathered on one plain and asked Me, and I gave each person among them what they asked for, that would diminish nothing of My dominion, except as the sea is diminished when a thread is dipped into it once. O My servants, these are your deeds; I reckon them for you. Whoever finds good, let him praise Allah; whoever finds otherwise, let him blame no one but himself.” Abu Idris would kneel on his knees whenever he related this hadith.
