Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) the hypocrites behaved in this way that when Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) set out for a battle, they kept themselves behind, and they became happy that they had managed to sit in the house contrary to (the act of) Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and when Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) came back, they put forward excuses and took oath and wished that people should laud them for the deeds which they had not done. It was on this occasion that this verse was revealed: Think not that those who exult in what they have done, and love to be praised for what they have not done-think not them to be safe from the chastisement; and for them is a painful chastisement (iii. 18).

'Auf reported that Marwan said to Rafi', his chamberlain, that he should go to Ibn 'Abbas and ask him: If every one of us be punished for his being happy upon his deed and for his being praised for what he has not done, nobody would be saved from the torment. Ibn 'Abbas said: What you have to do with this verse? It has been in fact revealed in connection with the people of the Book. Then Ibn Abbas recited this verse: When Allah took a covenant from those who had been given the Book: You shall explain it to people and shall not conceal this (iii. 186), and then Ibn 'Abbas recited this verse: Think not that those who exult in what they have done and love to be praised for what they have not done (iii. 186). Ibn 'Abbas (further) said: Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asked them about something and then they concealed that and they told him something else and they went out and they thought that they had informed him as lie had asked them and they felt happy of what they had concealed.

Is it your personal opinion or something you got from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )? 'Ammar said: We have got nothing from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) which people at large did not get, but Hudhaifa told me that Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) had especially told him amongst his Companion, that there would be twelve hypocrites out of whom eight would not get into Paradise, until a camel would be able to pass through the needle hole. The ulcer would be itself sufficient (to kill) eight. So far as four are concerned, I do not remember what Shu'ba said about them.

'Ubad reported: We said to 'Ammar: Was your fighting (on the side of 'Ali in the Battle of Siffin) a matter of your own choice or you got its hints from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) for it, is likely for one to err in one's own discretion or was it because of any covenant that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got from you? He said: It was not because of any covenant that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got from us which he did get from other people, and he further said that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: In my Ummah. And I think that Hudhaifa reported to me and according to Ghundar (the words are) that he said: In my Ummah, there would be twelve hypocrites and they would not be admitted to Paradise and they would not smell its odour, until the camel would pass through a needle's hole. Dubaila (ulcer) would be enough to (torment them) -a kind of flame of Fire which would appear in their shoulders and it would protrude from their chest.

He said: I adjure you by Allah to tell me as to how many people from Aqaba were. The people said to him (Hudhaifa) to inform him as he had asked. We have been informed that they were fourteen and If you are to be counted amongst them, then they would be fifteen and I state by Allah that twelve amongst them were the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in this world. The rest of the three put forward this excuse: We did not hear the announcement of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and we were not aware of the intention of the people as he (the Holy Prophet) had been in the hot atmosphere. He (the Holy Prophet) then said: The water is small in quantity (at the next station). So nobody should go ahead of me, but he found people who had gone ahead of him and he cursed them on that day.

Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: He who climbed this hill, the hill of Murar, his sins would be obliterated as were obliterated the sins of Bani Isra'il. So the first to take their horses were the people of Banu Khazraj. Then there was a ceaseless flow of persons and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to them: All of you are those who have been pardoned except the owner of a red camel. We came to him and said to him: You also come on, so that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) may seek forgiveness for you. But he said: By Allah, so far as I am concerned, the finding of something lost is dearer to me than seeking of forgiveness for me by your companion (the Holy Prophet), and he remained busy in finding out his lost thing.
