Ahadith

Abu Darda‘ relates that the Holy Prophet said: He who commits to memory the first ten verses of sura Al-Kahf (Chapter 18) will be secure against Anti-Christ. One version is: the last ten verses of sura Al-Kahf (Muslim). (Al-`Ankabut 47)

Ibn Abbas relates: While Gabriel was sitting with the Holy Prophet a sound was heard from above and Gabriel raised his head and said: A door has been opened from heaven which had not been opened up to this day. Then an angel descended from it and Gabriel said: This angel has descended to the earth and had not descended before till this day. He saluted the Holy Prophet and said: Be glad of the two lights that have been bestowed upon you which had not been bestowed upon any Prophet before you: The opening chapter of the Book and the last verses of swra Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2). Whenever you recite even a word of this it will be bestowed upon you (Muslim).

Usman ibn Affan relates: The Holy Prophet said: He who makes his ablutions carefully will find that his defaults depart from his body, even from below his nails (Muslim).

Abi Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet came to the cemetery and said: Peace be on you dwellers in the home of a believing people. We shall join you, if Allah so wills. I would have loved to have had a view of our brethren. Someone of those present inquired: Are we not your brethren, Messenger of Allah? He answered: You are my companions. Our brethren are those who have not yet arrived in this world. He was asked: How will you recognise those of your followers, Messenger of Allah, who have not yet arrived? He answered: Tell me; if a man has horses with white foreheads and white fetlocks and they are mixed with pure black horses, will he not be able to recognise his own? They answered: Certainly, Messenger of Allah. He said: Well, then; my people will come bright faced, white-limbed from the effects of their ablutions; and I shall arrive at the Reservoir of Abundance ahead of them (Muslim).
