Allah's Apostle said, "When the believers pass safely over (the
bridge across) Hell, they will be stopped at a bridge in between
Hell and Paradise where they will retaliate upon each other for the
injustices done among them in the world, and when they get purified
of all their sins, they will be admitted into Paradise. By Him in
Whose Hands the life of Muhammad is everybody will recognize his
dwelling in Paradise better than he recognizes his dwelling in this
world."

about An-Najwa?" Ibn 'Umar said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying,
'Allah will bring a believer near Him and shelter him with His
Screen and ask him: Did you commit such-and-such sins? He will say:
Yes, my Lord. Allah will keep on asking him till he will confess all
his sins and will think that he is ruined. Allah will say: 'I did
screen your sins in the world and I forgive them for you today', and
then he will be given the book of his good deeds. Regarding infidels
and hypocrites (their evil acts will be exposed publicly) and the
witnesses will say: These are the people who lied against their
Lord. Behold! The Curse of Allah is upon the wrongdoers." (11.18)

Volume 3, Book 43, Number 648
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
I had been eager to ask 'Umar about the two ladies from among the
wives of the Prophet regarding whom Allah said (in the Qur'an
saying): If you two (wives of the Prophet namely Aisha and Hafsa)
turn in repentance to Allah your hearts are indeed so inclined (to
oppose what the Prophet likes) (66.4), till performed the Hajj along
with 'Umar (and on our way back from Hajj) he went aside (to answer
the call of nature) and I also went aside along with him carrying a
tumbler of water. When he had answered the call of nature and
returned. I poured water on his hands from the tumbler and he
performed ablution. I said, "O Chief of the believers! ' Who were
the two ladies from among the wives of the Prophet to whom Allah said:
'If you two return in repentance (66.4)? He said, "I am astonished
at your question, O Ibn 'Abbas. They were Aisha and Hafsa."
Then 'Umar went on relating the narration and said. "I and an Ansari
neighbor of mine from Bani Umaiya bin Zaid who used to live in
'Awali Al-Medina, used to visit the Prophet in turns. He used to go
one day, and I another day. When I went I would bring him the news
of what had happened that day regarding the instructions and orders
and when he went, he used to do the same for me. We, the people of
Quraish, used to have authority over women, but when we came to live
with the Ansar, we noticed that the Ansari women had the upper hand
over their men, so our women started acquiring the habits of the
Ansari women. Once I shouted at my wife and she paid me back in my
coin and I disliked that she should answer me back. She said, 'Why
do you take it ill that I retort upon you? By Allah, the wives of
the Prophet retort upon him, and some of them may not speak with him
for the whole day till night.' What she said scared me and I said to
her, 'Whoever amongst them does so, will be a great loser.' Then I
dressed myself and went to Hafsa and asked her, 'Does any of you
keep Allah's Apostle angry all the day long till night?' She replied
in the affirmative. I said, 'She is a ruined losing person (and will
never have success)! Doesn't she fear that Allah may get angry for
the anger of Allah's Apostle and thus she will be ruined? Don't ask
Allah's Apostle too many things, and don't retort upon him in any
case, and don't desert him. Demand from me whatever you like, and
don't be tempted to imitate your neighbor (i.e. 'Aisha) in her
behavior towards the Prophet), for she (i.e. Aisha) is more
beautiful than you, and more beloved to Allah's Apostle.
In those days it was rumored that Ghassan, (a tribe living in Sham)
was getting prepared their horses to invade us. My companion went
(to the Prophet on the day of his turn, went and returned to us at
night and knocked at my door violently, asking whether I was
sleeping. I was scared (by the hard knocking) and came out to him.
He said that a great thing had happened. I asked him: What is it?
Have Ghassan come? He replied that it was worse and more serious
than that, and added that Allah's Apostle had divorced all his
wives. I said, Hafsa is a ruined loser! I expected that would happen
some day.' So I dressed myself and offered the Fajr prayer with the
Prophet. Then the Prophet entered an upper room and stayed there
alone. I went to Hafsa and found her weeping. I asked her, 'Why are
you weeping? Didn't I warn you? Have Allah's Apostle divorced you
all?' She replied, 'I don't know. He is there in the upper room.' I
then went out and came to the pulpit and found a group of people
around it and some of them were weeping. Then I sat with them for
some time, but could not endure the situation. So I went to the
upper room where the Prophet was and requested to a black slave of
his: "Will you get the permission of (Allah's Apostle) for Umar (to
enter)? The slave went in, talked to the Prophet about it and came
out saying, 'I mentioned you to him but he did not reply.' So, I
went and sat with the people who were sitting by the pulpit, but I
could not bear the situation, so I went to the slave again and said:
"Will you get he permission for Umar? He went in and brought the
same reply as before. When I was leaving, behold, the slave called
me saying, "Allah's Apostle has granted you permission." So, I
entered upon the Prophet and saw him lying on a mat without wedding
on it, and the mat had left its mark on the body of the Prophet, and
he was leaning on a leather pillow stuffed with palm fires. I
greeted him and while still standing, I said: "Have you divorced
your wives?' He raised his eyes to me and replied in the negative.
And then while still standing, I said chatting: "Will you heed what
I say, 'O Allah's Apostle! We, the people of Quraish used to have
the upper hand over our women (wives), and when we came to the
people whose women had the upper hand over them..."
'Umar told the whole story (about his wife). "On that the Prophet
smiled." 'Umar further said, "I then said, 'I went to Hafsa and said
to her: Do not be tempted to imitate your companion ('Aisha) for she
is more beautiful than you and more beloved to the Prophet.' The
Prophet smiled again. When I saw him smiling, I sat down and cast a
glance at the room, and by Allah, I couldn't see anything of
importance but three hides. I said (to Allah's Apostle) "Invoke
Allah to make your followers prosperous for the Persians and the
Byzantines have been made prosperous and given worldly luxuries,
though they do not worship Allah?' The Prophet was leaning then (and
on hearing my speech he sat straight) and said, 'O Ibn Al-Khatttab!
Do you have any doubt (that the Hereafter is better than this
world)? These people have been given rewards of their good deeds in
this world only.' I asked the Prophet . 'Please ask Allah's
forgiveness for me. The Prophet did not go to his wives because of
the secret which Hafsa had disclosed to 'Aisha, and he said that he
would not go to his wives for one month as he was angry with them
when Allah admonished him (for his oath that he would not approach
Maria). When twenty-nine days had passed, the Prophet went to Aisha
first of all. She said to him, 'You took an oath that you would not
come to us for one month, and today only twenty-nine days have
passed, as I have been counting them day by day.' The Prophet said,
'The month is also of twenty-nine days.' That month consisted of
twenty-nine days. 'Aisha said, 'When the Divine revelation of Choice
was revealed, the Prophet started with me, saying to me, 'I am
telling you something, but you needn't hurry to give the reply till
you can consult your parents." 'Aisha knew that her parents would
not advise her to part with the Prophet . The Prophet said that
Allah had said:--
'O Prophet! Say To your wives; If you desire The life of this world
And its glitter, ... then come! I will make a provision for you and
set you free In a handsome manner. But if you seek Allah And His
Apostle, and The Home of the Hereafter, then Verily, Allah has
prepared For the good-doers amongst you A great reward.' (33.28)
'Aisha said, 'Am I to consult my parents about this? I indeed prefer
Allah, His Apostle, and the Home of the Hereafter.' After that the
Prophet gave the choice to his other wives and they also gave the
same reply as 'Aisha did."

one month." The Prophet stayed there for twenty-nine days, and then
came down and went to his wives.

and called him and said, "O Allah! Do not let him die until he sees
the faces of prostitutes." Juraij used to live in a hermitage. A
woman said that she would entice Juraij, so she went to him and
presented herself (for an evil act) but he refused. She then went to
a shepherd and allowed him to commit an illegal sexual intercourse
with her and later she gave birth to a boy. She alleged that the
baby was from Juraij. The people went to Juraij and broke down his
hermitage, pulled him out of it and abused him. He performed
ablution and offered the prayer, then he went to the male (baby) and
asked him; "O boy! Who is your father?" The baby replied that his
father was the shepherd. The people said that they would build for
him a hermitage of gold but Juraij asked them to make it of mud only."
