Narrated Sahl ibn Sa'd as-Sa'idi:
I was in the company of Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) that he gave a description of Paradise and then Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) concluded with these words: There would be bounties which the eye has not seen, the ear has not heard and no human heart has ever perceived them. He then recited this verse: "They forsake (their ) beds, calling upon their Lord in fear and in hope, and spend out of what We have given them. So no soul knows what refreshment of the eyes is hidden for them: a reward for what they did"
Narrated AbuHurayrah:

Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: In Paradise there is a market to which they would come every Friday. The north wind will blow and would scatter fragrance on their faces and on their clothes and would add to their beauty and loveliness.
Then they would go back to their family after having an added lustre to their beauty and loveliness, and their family would say to them: By Allah, you have been increased in beauty and loveliness after leaving us. They would say: By Allah, you have also increased in beauty and loveliness after us.
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
I heard Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) as saying that the inmates of Paradise would eat and drink but would neither spit, nor pass water, nor void excrement, nor suffer catarrh.
It was said: Then, what would happen with food? Thereupon he said: They would belch and sweat (and it would be over with their food), and their sweat would be that of musk and they would glorify and praise Allah as easily as you breathe.
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: He who would get into Paradise (would be made to enjoy such an everlasting) bliss that he would neither become destitute, nor would his clothes wear out, nor his youth would decline.
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri ; AbuHurayrah:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: There would be an announcer (in Paradise) who would make this announcement: Verily! there is in store for you (everlasting) health and that you should never fall ill and that you live (for ever) and do not die at all.
And that you would remain young and never grow old. And that you would always live in affluent circumstances and never become destitute, as words of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, are: "And it would be announced to them: This is the Paradise. You have been made to inherit it for what you used to do."
Narrated AbuHurayrah:

Narrated AbuHurayrah:
We were in the company of Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) and we heard a terrible sound.
Thereupon Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: Do you know what (sound) is this? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Thereupon he said: That is a stone which was thrown seventy years before in Hell and it has been constantly slipping down and now it has reached its base.
Narrated Samurah ibn Jundub:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: There will be some to whose ankles the fire will reach, some to whose knees, some to whose waist the fire will reach, and some to whose collar-bone the fire will reach.
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: The Paradise and the Hell disputed with each other.
The rest of the hadith is the same as transmitted by AbuHurayrah (in this subject) up to the words: "It is essential for Me to fill up both of you."
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: The molar tooth of an unbeliever or the canine teeth of an unbeliever will be like Uhud and the thickness of his skin a three night's journey.
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: Many a people with dishevelled hair are driven away from the door (but they are so pious) that if they are to swear in the name of Allah, He would definitely fulfil that.
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: There are two types, amongst the denizens of Hell, I have yet not seen them. One possessing whips like the tail of an ox and they flog people with them.
(The second one) the women who would be naked in spite of their being dressed, who are seduced (to wrong paths) and seduce others with their hair high like humps.
These women would not get into Paradise and they would not perceive the odour of Paradise, although its fragrance can be perceived from such and such distance (from great distance).
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: If you survive for a time you would certainly see people who would have whips in their hands like the tail of an ox. They would get up in the morning under the wrath of Allah and they would get into the evening with the anger of Allah.
Narrated Mustawrid:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: By Allah, this world (is so insignificant in comparison) to the Hereafter that if one of you should dip his finger - (and while saying this Yahya pointed with his forefinger) - in the ocean and then he should see as to what has stuck to it.
Narrated Miqdad ibn al-Aswad:
I heard Allah's apostle (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: On the Day of Resurrection, the sun would draw so close to the people that there would be left only a distance of one mile.
Sulayman ibn Amir said: By Allah, I do not know whether he meant by "mile" the mile of the (material) earth or an instrument used for applying collyrium to the eye. (The Prophet is, however, reported to have said): The people would be submerged in perspiration according to their deeds, some up to their knees, some up to the waist and some would have the bridle of perspiration and, while saying this, Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) pointed his hand towards his mouth.
Narrated Iyad ibn Himar:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him), while delivering a sermon one day, said: Behold, my Lord commanded me that I should teach you that which you do not know and that which He has taught me today.
(He has instructed thus): The property which I have conferred upon them is lawful for them. I have created My servants as one having a natural inclination to the worship of Allah but it is Satan who turns them away from the right religion. He makes unlawful that which has been declared lawful for them and he commands them to ascribe partnership to Me" although he has no justification for that.
Verily, Allah looked towards the people of the world and He showed hatred for the Arabs and the non-Arabs, with the exception of some remnants from the People of the Book.
He (further) said: I have sent thee (the Holy Prophet) in order to put you to the test and put (those to the test) through you. I sent the Book to you, which cannot be washed away by water, so that you may recite it while in the state of wakefulness or sleep."
Verily, Allah commanded me to burn (kill) the Quraysh. I said: My Lord, they would break my head (like the tearing) of bread. Allah said: You turn them out as they turned you out, you fight against them and We shall help you in this, you spend and you will be given more. You send an army and I shall send an army five times greater than that. Fight with those who obey you against those who disobey you.
The inmates of Paradise are of three types: one who wields authority and is just and fair; one who is truthful and has been endowed with power to do good deeds; and the person who is merciful and kind-hearted towards his relatives and to every pious Muslim, and who does not stretch out his hand in spite of having a large family to support.
He continued: The inmates of Hell are of five types: the weak who lack power to (avoid evil), the (carefree) who pursue (everything irrespective of the fact that it is good or evil) and who do not have any care for their family or for their wealth those dishonest people whose greed cannot be concealed even in the case of minor things; and the third type, who betrays you morning and evening, in regard to your family and your property. He also mentioned the miser the liar and those who are in the habit of abusing people and using obscene and foul language. AbuGhassan in his narration did not mention "Spend and there would be spent for you."
Narrated Zayd ibn Thabit:
As Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) was going with us towards the dwellings of Banu an-Najjar. While riding his pony, it shied and he nearly fell off. He found four, five or six graves there. He said: Which of you knows about those lying in the graves? Someone said: I do. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: In what state did they die? He said: They died as polytheists. He said: These people are passing through the ordeal in the graves. If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying (your dead) in the graves if you heard the torment in the grave, which I hear, I should have certainly made you listen to it.
Then turning his face towards us, he said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. They said: We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. They said: We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from turmoil, its visible and invisible (aspects). They said: We seek refuge with Allah from turmoil and its visible and invisible aspects. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal. They said: We seek refuge Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal.
Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: If you were not (to abandon) the burying of the dead (in the grave), I would have certainly supplicated Allah that He should make you listen the torment of the grave.
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
When the soul of a believer leaves (his body) it is be received by two angels who take it to the sky. Hammad (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) mentioned the sweetness of its odour (and added) that the dwellers of the sky say: Here comes the pious soul from the side of the Earth. Let there be blessings of Allah upon the body in which it resides. And it is carried (by the angels) to its Lord, the Exalted and Glorious. He says: Take it to its Lord, the Exalted and Glorious. He says: Take it to its destined end. If he is a non-believer, when it (the soul) leaves the body--Hammad mentioned of its foul smell and its being cursed--the dwellers of the sky say: There comes a dirty soul from the side of the Earth, and it should be said: Take it to its destined end.
AbuHurayrah reported that Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) put a thin cloth, which he had, upon his nose while referring to (the foul smell) of the soul of a non-believer.
Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
We were with Umar between Mecca and Medina so that we might begin to look for the new moon. I was a man with sharp eyesight, so I could see it, but none saw it except myself. I began to say to Umar: Don't you see it? But he could not see it. Thereupon Umar said: I shall soon be able to see it (when it shines more brightly). I lay in bed. He then mentioned to us of the people of Badr and said: Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) showed us one day before (the actual battle) the place of death of the people (participating) in (the Battle) of Badr and he was saying: This will be the place of death of so and so tomorrow, if Allah wills. Umar said: By Him Who sent him with truth, they did not miss the places (of their death) which Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) had indicated for them. Then they were all thrown in a well, one after another.
Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) then went to them and said: O, so and so, the son of so and so; O so and so, the son of so and so, have you found what Allah and His Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) had promised you? I have, however, found absolutely true what Allah had promised me. Umar said: Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: How can you talk as bodies without souls in them. Thereupon he said: You cannot hear more distinctly than (they can) what I say, but with the exception that they have no power to make any reply.
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
I heard Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) as saying three days before his death: None of you should court death but only hoping good from Allah.
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah:
I heard Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: Every servant would be raised (in the same very state) in which he dies.
