He Abu Bakr said Hallowed be Allah what are you saying Thereupon he said I say that when we are in the company of Allah Messenger we ponder over Hel AlFire and Paradise as if we are seeing them with our very eyes and when we are away from Allah Messenger we attend to our wives our children our business most of these things pertaining to After life slip out of our minds
3. Thereupon Allah Messenger said By Him in Whose Hand is my life if your state of mind remains the same as it is in my presence and you are always busy in remembrance of Allah the Angels will shake hands with you in your beds and in your paths but Hanzala time should be devoted to the worldly affairs and time should be devoted to prayer and meditation
4. Abu Huraira reported Allah Messenger as saying There are one hundred parts of mercy for Allah and He has sent down out of these one part of mercy upon the jinn and human beings and animals and the insects and it is because of this one part that they love one another show kindness to one another and even the beast treats its young one with affection and Allah has reserved ninety nine parts of mercy with which He would treat His servants on the Day of Resurrection

8. Abdullah Bin Massuod reported it directly from Allah Messenger that he said None is more self respecting than Allah and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts both visible and invisible and nothing is loved by Allah more than the praise of His Ownself and it is because of this that He has praised Himself
9. It is because of this that He has praised Himself and none is more self respecting than Allah and it is because of this that He has prohibited abominable acts and there is none who is more anxious to accept the apologies of the people than Allah Himself and it is because of this that He has revealed the Book and sent the Messengers

Safwan Bin Muhriz reported that a person said to Ibn Umar How did you hear Allah Messenger as saying something about intimate conversation He said I heard him say A believer will be brought to his Lord the Exalted and Glorious on the Day of Resurrection and He would place upon him His veil of Light and make him confess his faults and say Do you recognise your faults He would say My Lord I do recognise them
12. Allah Messenger set out for this expedition in extremely hot season the journey was long and the land which he and his army had to cover was waterless and he had to confront a large army so he informed the Muslims about the actual situation they had to face so that they should adequately equip themselves for this expedition and he also told them the destination where he intended to go
13. He said to me What kept you back Could you not afford to go in for a ride I said Allah Messenger by Allah if I were to sit in the presence of anybody else from amongst the worldly people I would have definitely saved myself from his anger on one pretext or the other and I have also the knack to fall into argumentation but by Allah I am fully aware of the fact that if I were to put forward before you a false excuse to please you Allah would definitely provoke your wrath upon me and if I speak the truth you may be annoyed with me but I hope that Allah would make its end well and by Allah there is no valid excuse for me
14. Then I said to them Has anyone else also met the same fate They said Yes two persons have met the same fate as has fallen to you and they have made the sane statement as you have made and the same verdict has been delivered in their case as it has been delivered in your case
15. The people began to avoid us and their attitude towards us underwent a change and it seemed as if the whole atmosphere had turned hostile against us and it was in fact the same atmosphere ot which I was fully aware and in which I had lived for a fairly long time

19. And since I made a mention of this to Allah Messenger up to this day I have not told any lie and by Allah I have decided not to tell a lie and I hope that Allah would save me from trials for the rest of my life and Allah the Exalted and Glorious revealed these verses Certainly Allah has turned in Mercy to the Prophet and the emigrants and the helpers who followed him in the hour of hardship after the hearts of a part of them were about to deviate then He turned to them in mercy
