THE BOOK OF TAUHID (ISLAMIC MONOTHEISM) [i.e. to believe in the Oneness of Allâh] and to critisize on Jahmiyah etc.

CHAPTER 1. What has been said about the Prophet inviting his followers (nation) to Tauhid Allâh i.e., Islamic Monotheism (worshiping none but Allah Alone.)

9:472 Narrated ‘Aisha:

The Prophet sent (an army unit) under the command of a man who used to lead his companions in the Salat (prayers) and would finish his recitation with (the Surah 112): ‘Say (0 Muhammad): “He is Allah, (the) One.’ (V.112:1) When they returned (from the battle), they mentioned that to the Prophet. He said (to them), “Ask him why he does so.” They asked him and he said, “I do so because it mentions the qualities of the Most Beneficent and I love to recite it [in my Salát (prayer)].” The Prophet said (to them), “Tell him that Allah loves him”.

CHAPTER 2. The Statement of Allah: “Verily! Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong” (V.51:58)

9:475 Narrated Abü Müsa Al-Ash’ari:

The Prophet said, “None is more patient than Allah against the harmful and annoying words He hears (from the people): They ascribe a son (offspring or children) to Him, yet He bestows upon them health and provision”.

CHAPTER 3. The Statements of Allah:- “And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.” (V.14:4) “Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power. (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him.” (V.37:180). “But Honour, Power and Glory belong to Allah and His Messenger….” (V.63:8)

9:480 Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs:

The Prophet used to say, “I seek refuge (with You) by Your ‘Izzat (Honour, Power and Glory) La ilaha illa Anta, (none has the right to be worshipped but You), Who does not die while the jinns and the human beings die.”

CHAPTER 4. The Statement of Allah:- “And Allah warns you against Himself (i.e., from His punishment).” (V.3:28) And the Statement of Allah:-“You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours.” (V.5:116)

9:501 Narrated Abü Huraira:

The Prophet said, “When Allah created the Creation, He wrote in His Book that is placed on the Throne with Him – and He prescribed for Himself: ‘Verily My Mercy has overcome My Anger.

9:502 Narrated Abü Huraira:

Allah’s Messenger said, “Allãh says: ‘I am just as My slave thinks I am, (i.e., I am Able to do for him what he thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I too, remember him in Myself and if he remembers Mein a group of people I remember him in a group that is better than them; and if he comes one span nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.”

CHAPTER 5. The Statement of Allah:- “They want to change Allah’s Words….. ” (V.48:15)

9:592 Narrated (Abü Huraira):

Allah’s Messenger said, “Allah says, ‘If My slave intends to do a bad deed then (0 angels) do not write it unless he does it; if he does it, then write it as it is, but if he refrains from doing it for My sake, then write it as a good deed (in his account). (On the other hand) if he intends to do a good deed, but does not do it then write a good deed (in his account), and if he does it, then write it for him (in his account) as ten good deeds up to seven-hundred times., ,,

9:598 Narrated (Abü Huraira):

I heard the Prophet saying, “If somebody commits a sin and then says, ‘0 my Lord! I have sinned, please forgive me!’ and his Lord says, ‘My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for it? I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sins).’ Then he remains without committing any sin for a while and then again commits another sin and says, ‘0 My Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,’ and Allah says, ‘My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for it? I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sin). Then he remains without committing any other sin for a while and then commits another sin (for the third time) and says, ‘0 my Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,’ and Allah says, ‘My slave has known that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for it? I therefore have forgiven My slave (his sin), he can do whatever he likes’.

CHAPTER 6. The talk of the Lord to the Prophets and others on the Day of Resurrection.

9:600 Narrated Anas:

I heard the Prophet saying, “On the Day of Resurrection I will intercede and say, ‘0 my Lord! Admit into Paradise (even) those who have faith equal to a mustard seed in their hearts. Such people will enter Paradise, and then I will say, ‘(0 Allah) admit into Paradise (even) those who have the least amount of faith in their hearts.’ Anas then said: As if I were just now looking at the fingers of Allah’s Messenger.

9:601 Narrated (Ma’bad bin Hilãl Al-‘Anazi:

We, i.e., some people from Basra gathered and went to) Anas bin Malik’ , (and we went in company with Thâbit Al-Bunâni so that he might ask him about the Hadith of Intercession narrated by Abü Huraira). In the end it is added: “Then they will go to ‘lesa (Jesus) (and he will say) ‘I am not fit for that, but you’d better go to Muhammad.’ They would come to me and I would say, ‘I am for that.’ Then I will ask for my Lord’s Permission, and it will be given, and then He will inspire me to praise Him with such praises as I do not know now. So I will praise Him with those praises and will fall down, prostrate before Him. Then it will be said, ‘0 Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for your will be granted (your request); and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘0 Lord, my followers! my followers!’ And then it will be said, ‘Go and take out of Hell (fire) all those who have faith in their hearts, equal to the weight of (an atom or a) a small ant or a mustard seed.’ [The last part of this Hadith is a repetition with a difference that first time it was said: all those equal to the weight of a barley grain; second time it was said: equal to the weight of an ant (atom) or a mustard seed; the third time it was said: lightest, lightest, lightest mustard seed]. I will go and do so”.

9:601 In the above Hadith it is also narrated,

(that the Prophet added,) ‘I then return for a fourth time and praise Him similarly and prostrate before Him. Then it will be said, ‘0 Muhammad, raise your head and speak, for you will be listened to; and ask, for you will be granted (your request): and intercede, for your intercession will be accepted.’ I will say, ‘0 Lord, allow me to intercede for whoever said, ‘La iláha ill-Allâh’ (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah.) Then Allah will say, ‘By My Power, and My Majesty, and by My Supremacy, and by My Greatness, I will take out of Hell (fire) whoever said: ‘La ilâha ill-Allâh ‘ (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).”

CHAPTER 7. Weighing of the deeds and sayings of people on the Day of Resurrection.

9:652 Narrated Abü Huraira: The Prophet said

“(There are) two words (expressions or sayings) which are dear to the Most Beneficent (Allah) and very easy for the tongue to say, but very heavy in the balance. They are: ‘Subhán Alláhi wa bihamdihi’ and ‘Subhán Allâhil ‘Azim. “
