nights remaining of Shawwāl, in the year 243 AH.
Al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī told us; Mukharram b. Muḥammad told us; Ḥamzah b. Asad al-Tamīmī related in 553 AH; Sahl b. Bishr told us; Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Ṭaffāl told us; al-Ḥasan b. Rushayq narrated to us; Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Yaḥyā b. Mihrān narrated to us; Ḥarmalah related to us; Ibn Wahb informed us; Yūnus informed me, from Ibn Shihāb, from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab, that Abū Hurayrah used to say:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Allah will grasp the earth on the Day of Resurrection and roll up the heavens in His right hand. Then He will say, ‘I am the King; where are the kings of the earth?’”
This is an authentic, firmly established ḥadīth (1), and the Quran attests to it.

Marwān sent him to Umm Salamah to ask about a man who wakes up in a state of major ritual impurity: should he fast?
She replied, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would wake up in a state of major impurity caused by intercourse, not by a dream; he would then fast and would not make it up (2).”
It was also recorded by al-Nasāʾī from Aḥmad b. al-Haytham, from Ḥarmalah.
