Narrated
Zahdam bin Mudrab:
I
heard Imran bin Husain saying, "The Prophet (s) said, 'The best people are
those living in my generation, then those coming after them, and then those
coming after (the second generation)." Imran said "I do not know
whether the Prophet (s) mentioned two or three generations after your present
generation. The Prophet (s) added, 'There
will be some people after you, who will be dishonest and will not be
trustworthy and will give witness (evidences) without being asked to give
witness, and will vow but will not fulfill their vows, and fatness will appear
among them." (2651, 3651, 6429, 6658)

Ibrahim (a sub narrator) said, "When we were young, our elder friends used to prohibit us from taking oaths by saying, 'I bear witness by the Name of Allah or by the Covenant of Allah' [See Vol. 3, Hadith Nos. 2651, 2652, 2653]

generation, then the Prophet (s) added, 'There will come after you, people who

Apostle (s)! I will bring you his news." So he went to Thabit and found
him sitting in his house and bowing his head. The man said to Thabit, “‘What is
the matter with you?" Thabit replied that it was an evil affair, for he
used to raise his voice above the voice of the Prophet (s) and so all his good
deeds had been annulled, and he considered himself as one of the people of the
Fire. Then the man returned to the Prophet (s) and told him that Thabit had said
so-and-so. (Musa bin Anas) said: The man returned to Thabit with great glad
tidings. The Prophet (s) said to the man. "Go back to him and say to him:
"You are not from the people of the Hell Fire, but from the people of Paradise."

CHAPTER. (The legal aspect of) the one
who looks at a letter in order to know its written contents and the meanings of
its subject which is not allowed for the Muslims to look at;
Bukhari
Volume 8, Book 79, Number 6259:
Narrated 'Ali:
Allah's Apostle (s) sent me,
Az-Zubair bin Al-Awwam and Abu Marthad Al-Ghanawi, and all of us were horsemen,
and he said, "Proceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh, where there is a woman
from the pagans carrying a letter sent by Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans
(of Mecca)." So we overtook her while she was proceeding on her camel at
the same place as Allah's Apostle (s) told us. We said (to her) "Where is
the letter which is with you?" She said, "I have no letter with
me." So we made her camel kneel down and searched her mount (baggage etc)
but could not find anything. My two companions said, "We do not see any
letter." I said, "I know that Allah's Apostle (s) did not tell a lie.
By Allah, if you (the lady) do not bring out the letter, I will strip you of
your clothes' When she noticed that I was serious, she put her hand into the
knot of her waist sheet, for she was tying a sheet round herself, and brought
out the letter. So we proceeded to Allah's Apostle (s) with the letter. The
Prophet (s) said (to Habib), "What made you o what you have done, O
Hatib?" Hatib replied, "I have done nothing except that I believe in
Allah and His Apostle, and I have not changed or altered (my religion). But I
wanted to do the favor to the people (pagans of Mecca) through which Allah
might protect my family and my property, as there is none among your companions
but has someone in Mecca through whom Allah protects his property (against
harm). The Prophet (s) said, "Habib has told you the truth, so do not say
to him (anything) but good." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "Verily he
has betrayed Allah, His Apostle, and the believers! Allow me to chop his neck
off!" The Prophet (s) said, "O 'Umar! What do you know; perhaps Allah looked upon the Badar warriors and said, 'Do
whatever you like, for I have ordained that you will be in Paradise.'"
On that 'Umar wept and said, "Allah and His Apostle (s) know best."
(25)
CHAPTER. To shroud one with (the price of) all of one's
property. And this is
said by Ata, 'Az-Zuhri, and 'Amr bin Dinar and Qatada. 'Amr bin Dinãr added,
"Also Hanut is to be taken
from his property." And Ibrahim said, "Start with the shroud first
then pay his debts, and then follow his will." And Sufyan said, "The
payment for the grave (digging etc.) and for washing the body is also included
in the shroud expenses.
Bukhari
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 1274:
Narrated Ibrahim:
Once a meal was brought to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf and he was
fasting, he said, "Mustab bin 'Umar was martyred and he was better than I
and was shrouded in his Burd and when his head was covered with it, his legs
became bare, and when his legs were covered his head got uncovered. Hamza was
martyred and was better than I. Now the worldly wealth has
been bestowed upon us (or said a similar thing). No doubt, I fear that the
rewards of my deeds might have been given earlier in this world." Then he
started weeping and left his food.
Bukhari Volume 5, Book 64, Number
4045:
Narrated Sad bin Ibrahim:
A meal was brought to 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf while he was fasting. He said, "Musab bin 'Umar was martyred, and he was better than I, yet he was shrouded in a Burda (i.e. a sheet) so that, if his head was covered, his feet became naked, and if his feet were covered, his head became naked." 'Abdur-Rahman added, "Hamza was martyred and he was better than 1. Then worldly wealth was bestowed upon us and we were given thereof too much. We are afraid that the rewards of our deeds have been given to us in this life." 'Abdur-Rahman then started weeping so much that he left the food.
