“ THE BOOK OF RULE AND JUDGEMENT
It is related from Abú Hurairah that, 'The Apostle of God said, "He who obeys me, has obeyed God; and he who disobeys me, has disobeyed God. And whoever obeys the ruler, has obeyed me; and whoever disobeys the ruler, has disobeyed me. And the ruler is only a shield behind whom men fight and through whom they are protected. Then if he orders the fear of God and just dealing, then verily he gains rewards thereby; but if he says anything else, then on him will fall its penalty."'—Muslim, Al Bukhárí. ”

“ And whoever takes poison and kills himself, his poison will remain in his hand, and he will take it continually in the fire of hell, and he will remain therein for ever and ever. And whoever kills himself with any iron weapon, his weapon will remain in his hand, and he will continually stab himself in his belly in the fire of hell, and he will remain there for ever and ever."'—Muslim, Al Bukhárí. ”

“ And He whom ye call upon is nearer to one of you than the neck of his camel," Abú Músá said, "When I was behind him, I was saying to myself, 'There is no power and no strength, except in God,' and he said, 'O ʿAbduʾlláh bin Qais, shall I not point thee to one of the treasures of paradise?' I said, 'Yes, O Apostle of God.' He said, 'It is (the phrase) , There is no power and no strength, except in God.'"'—Muslim, Al Bukhárí. ”

“ And the earth will be blessed in the matter of milk until one female camel will suffice for a great multitude of men; and a cow will suffice for a whole tribe of men; and one female sheep will suffice for one clan of a tribe. And whilst they are in this condition, behold! God will send a pleasant wind; and it will take them under their armpits, and it will take the soul of every believer and every Muslim. ”

“ Verily we have received in truth what our Lord promised us. Have ye received in truth what your Lord promised you?" Then ʿOmar said, "O Apostle of God, what art thou saying to bodies which have no souls!" The Prophet replied, "By Him in whose hand is the life of Muḥammad! Ye do not hear what I say better than they do." And in another tradition it runs, "Ye do not hear better than they do; but they do not answer."'—Muslim, Al Bukhárí. ”

“ In Islám the Traditions are used both in the formation of canon law and also in the exegesis of the Qurʾán; whilst not a little of what we know of the life and character of Muḥammad is derived from the same source. As every word and act of the Prophet is for the Muslim a divine rule of faith and practice, the influence of the Traditions on the lives of millions, all over the world, is difficult to over-estimate.
A Tradition is technically divided by Muslim theologians into two parts. There is first, the isnád, the support or authority on which the Tradition rests. ”

“ The Prophet said, "What didst thou say when thou imposed upon thyself the pilgrimage?" He replied, "I said, O God, verily I put on as the pilgrim garb what Thine Apostle put on." He said, "Verily the victims for sacrifice are with me, therefore do not put off thy pilgrim garb." (Jábir) said, 'All the victims for sacrifice which ʿAlí had brought from Yemen, and those which the Prophet had brought numbered one hundred.' He said, 'Then all the people put off their pilgrim garb and shortened their hair, except the Prophet and those with whom were victims for sacrifice. ”

“ If we had known what property was better, we would have taken it." He replied, "Better than these is a remembering tongue and a grateful heart, and a believing wife who helps him in his faith."'—Aḥmad, At Tirmidhí, Ibn Májah. ”

“ And one day the time for prayer arrived, so we said to him, "Stand thou in front and act as leader in the prayers." He said to us, "Put a man from amongst yourselves in front to lead the prayers for you, and I will tell you why I did not pray for you (as leader) . I heard the Apostle of God say, 'Let not that one who visits a people act as leader of the prayers for them, but let a man from amongst themselves act as leader.'"'—Abú Dáud, At Tirmidhí, An Nasái. ”

“ And they will say, ' We have killed those who were on the earth, then come and let us kill all who are in the heavens.' And they will cast their wooden arrows towards the sky; but God will return them upon themselves dyed with blood. ”
