Hadith of the Messenger of Allah Almighty ﷺ
Hadith Qudsi about visiting the sick:
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah Almighty (may Allah Almighty bless him and give him peace) said:
«إنَّ الله - عز وجل - يَقُولُ يَوْمَ القيَامَة: يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَرِضْتُ فَلَم تَعُدْنِي، قال: يا ربِّ كَيْفَ أعُودُكَ وأنْتَ رَبُّ العَالَمين؟ قال: أمَا عَلِمْتَ أنَّ عَبْدي فُلاَناًَ مَرِضَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْهُ، أمَا عَلِمْتَ أنَّك لو عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَنِي عِنْدَهُ؟ يَا ابْنَ آدمَ اسْتَطْعَمْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْنِي، قال: يا ربِّ كَيْفَ أُطْعِمُكَ وَأنْتَ رَبُّ العَالَمين؟ قال: أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أنَّهُ اسْتَطْعَمَكَ عَبْدِي فلانٌ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ، أما عَلِمْتَ أنَّكَ لَوْ أَطْعَمْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذلك عِنْدِي؟ يَا ابْنَ آدمَ اِسْتَسْقَيْتُكَ فَلَمْ تَسِقْنِي، قال: يا رَبَّ كيفَ أسْقيكَ وَأنْتَ ربُّ العالَمِينَ؟ قال: اسْتَسْقاكَ عَبْدِي فُلانٌ فَلَمْ تَسِقْهُ، أمَا عَلِمْتَ أنَّكَ لَوْ سَقَيْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذلكَ عِندِي؟»
Allah Almighty, the Almighty, will say on the Day of Resurrection: “O son of Adam! I was sick, but you did not visit Me.” The servant will say: “O Lord! How could I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?” Allah Almighty will say: “Did you not know that My servant so-and-so was sick, and you did not visit him? Did you not know that if you had visited him, you would have found Me with him?
O son of Adam! I asked you for food, but you did not feed Me.” The servant will say: “O Lord! How could I feed You when You are the Lord of the worlds?” Allah Almighty will say: “Did you not know that My servant so-and-so asked you for food, and you did not feed him? Did you not know that if you had fed him, you would have found that reward with Me?
O son of Adam! I asked you for water, but you did not give Me to drink.” The servant will say: “O Lord! How could I give You to drink when You are the Lord of the worlds?” Allah Almighty will say: “Did you not know that My servant so-and-so asked you for water, and you did not give him to drink? Did you not know that if you had given him water, you would have found that reward with Me?”
(Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 2569)
Hadith Qudsi about seeking forgiveness from Allah Almighty:
It is narrated from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah Almighty (may Allah Almighty bless him and give him peace) say:
Iblis said to his Lord: “By Your might and majesty, I will continue to mislead Your servants as long as their souls remain in their bodies.”
Allah Almighty replied: “By My might and majesty, I will continue to forgive them as long as they seek forgiveness from Me.”
Hadith Qudsi about the blessings of Paradise:
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah Almighty (may Allah Almighty bless him and give him peace) said:
«قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: أعْدَدْتُ لِعِبَادِي الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ، وَلا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ، وَلا خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ، وَاقْرَؤُوا إنْ شِئْتُمْ: (فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ)»
Allah Almighty the Exalted says: “I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and what has never crossed the heart of any human.”
If you wish, recite: (No soul knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden for them as a reward for what they used to do) [Surah As-Sajdah, 32:17].
It is also narrated from Sahl ibn Sa‘d (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) that he said: I was present in one of the gatherings of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (may Allah Almighty bless him and give him peace) when he described Paradise until he said at the end of his speech:
«فيهَا مَا لا عَينٌ رَأَتْ، وَلا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ، وَلا خَطَرَ عَلى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ»
“In Paradise there are delights that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and have never crossed the heart of any human being.”
Then he recited the verses:
«تَتَجَافَى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ (16) فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ»
[As-Sajdah: 16–17]
“(At night) their sides forsake their beds, as they call upon their Lord in fear and hope, and they spend from what We have provided them. No soul knows what delights of the eyes are kept hidden for them as a reward for what they used to do.”
(Reported by al-Bukhari 4779 and Muslim 2824)
Hadith Qudsi about Paradise and Hellfire:
When Allah Almighty created Paradise, He said to Jibreel (peace be upon him): “Go and look at it.” So he went, looked at it, and then came back and said: “By Your might, O Lord, no one who hears of it will fail to enter it.”
Then Allah Almighty surrounded it with hardships and said: “O Jibreel, go and look at it again.” So he went, looked at it, and then came back and said: “By Your might, O Lord, I fear that no one will enter it.”
Then when Allah Almighty created Hellfire, He said: “O Jibreel, go and look at it.” So he went, looked at it, and then came back and said: “By Your might, O Lord, no one who hears of it will enter it.”
Then Allah Almighty surrounded it with desires and said: “O Jibreel, go and look at it again.” So he went, looked at it, and then came back and said: “By Your might, O Lord, I fear that no one will remain except that he will enter it.”
(Sahih Abu Dawud, Hadith No. 4744)
Hadith about seeing Allah Almighty:
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النبيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ، فَنَظَرَ إلى القَمَرِ لَيْلَةً - يَعْنِي البَدْرَ - فَقَالَ: إنَّكُمْ سَتَرَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ كما تَرَوْنَ هذا القَمَرَ، لا تُضَامُّونَ في رُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أنْ لا تُغْلَبُوا علَى صَلَاةٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا فَافْعَلُوا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {وَسَبِّحْ بحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وقَبْلَ الغُرُوبِ} [ق: 39]، قَالَ إسْمَاعِيلُ: افْعَلُوا لا تَفُوتَنَّكُمْ .
Jarir ibn Abdullah al-Bajali (may Allah Almighty be pleased with him) said: We were with the Prophet (may Allah Almighty bless him and give him peace), and he looked at the full moon and said: “Indeed, you will see your Lord just as you see this moon. You will have no difficulty in seeing Him.
So if you can avoid being negligent regarding a prayer before sunrise and a prayer before sunset, then do so.”
Then he recited: {And glorify the praises of your Lord before sunrise and before sunset} [Surah Qaf, 50:39].
