Narrated Abu Huraira:While the Prophet was saying something in a
gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him,"When would the Hour
(Doomsday) take place?" Allah's Apostle continued his talk, so some
people said that Allah's Apostle had heard the question, but did not
like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them said that Alllah's
Apostle had not heard it. When the Prophet finished his speech, he
said, "Where is the questioner, who enquired about the Hour
(Doomsday)?" The Bedouin said, "I am here,O Allah's Apostle ." Then
the Prophet said, "When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour
(Doomsday)." The Bedouin said, "How will that be lost?" The Prophet
said, "When the power or authority comes in the hands of unfit
persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)"

who were before you, has Allah sent you as an Apostle to all the
mankind?" The Prophet replied, "By Allah, yes." The man further said,

a place in the circle and sat there whilethe other sat behind the
gathering, and the third one went away. When Allah's Apostle finished

Allah sheltered Him in His mercy (and didnot punish him), while the
third turned his face from Allah and went away, so Allah turned His
face from him likewise. "

(slaughtering of theanimals of sacrifice)" We replied, "Yes." He
further asked, "Which month is this?" We again kept quiet, thinking
that he might give it another name. Then he said, "Isn'tit the month
of Dhul-Hijja?" We replied,"Yes." He said, "Verily! Your blood,
property andhonor are sacred to one another (i.e. Muslims) likethe
sanctity of this day ofyours, in this month of yours and in this city
of yours. It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform those
who are absent because those who are absent might comprehend (what I
have said) better than the present audience."

do good to a person, He makes him comprehend the religion. I am just a

and they will not be harmed by any one going on a different path till
Allah's order (Day of Judgment) is established."

Al-Fazariregarding the companion of (the Prophet) Moses. Ibn 'Abbas

Ibn 'Abbas called him, saying "My friend (Hur) and I have differed
regarding Moses' companion whom Moses,asked the way to meet. Have you
heard the Prophet mentioning something about him? Hesaid, "Yes. I
heard Allah's Apostle saying, "While Moses was sitting in the company
of some Israelites, a man came and asked him. "Do you know anyone who
is more learned than you? Moses replied: "No." So Allah sent the
Divine Inspiration to Moses: 'Yes,Our slave Khadir (is more learned
than you.)' Mosesasked (Allah) how to meet him (Khadir). So Allah made
the fish as a sign for him and he was told that when the fish was
lost, he should return (to the place where he had lost it) andthere he
would meet him(Al-Khadir). So Moses went on looking for the sign of
the fish in the sea.The servant-boy of Mosessaid to him: Do you
remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the
fish, none but Satan made me forget to remember it. On that Moses
said: 'That is what we have been seeking? (18.64) So they went back
retracing their foot-steps, and found Khadir. (And) what happened
further to them is narrated in the Holy Qur'an by Allah. (18.54 up to
18.82)
