'He encompasses all that is in the heavens and the earth' is reported by Abū Nu‘aym in al-Hilya (3/341). In the same work it is related on his authority that: “The expanse of the sun equals the expanse of the earth plus three times more, and the expanse of the moon equals the expanse of the earth. When the sun sets, it enters a sea beneath the Throne, glorifying Allah until its rise. Then Allah—Who knows best—asks it: ‘Why did you do this?’ It replies: ‘So that I may not be worshipped besides You.’ He then says: ‘Proceed; you bear no blame. Sufficient for them is Hell (Jahannam), which I will send upon them with 10,000 angels to drive it until they cast them into it.’ In some manuscripts it reads “with 13,000 angels,” a corruption; al-Hilya preserves the authentic reading. This account conflicts with the sound ḥadīth: “Indeed, Hell is brought and driven by seventy thousand zimām (teams), and with each zimām are seventy thousand angels” (Muslim, al-Jannah wa-ṣifat ni‘imah, 2842; al-Tirmidhī, Kitāb al-Ṣifat, 2573, from ‘Abd Allāh ibn Mas‘ūd). Mundhal narrates from Asad ibn ‘Abd al-‘Attā’, from Ikrima, from Ibn ‘Abbās that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Let none of you stand by a man being unjustly beaten, for the curse descends from the heavens on he who witnesses it if you do not prevent it. And let none of you stand by a man being killed unjustly, for the curse descends from the heavens on he who witnesses it if you do not prevent it.” This report is recorded only by Mundhal (Abū Nu‘aym, al-Hilya 3/345), who comments: “Strange in the transmission of Asad and Ikrima, and known from them only through Mundhal ibn ‘Alī al-‘Anbarī.” Ibn Ḥajar remarks in Taqrīb al-Tahdhīb (p.545): “Weak.” Shu‘ba reports from ‘Amāra ibn Abī Ḥafṣa, from Ikrima, from Abū Hurayra that the Prophet ﷺ, when he sneezed, would cover his face with his cloak and place his hands on his eyebrows. This chain is weak and unique to this version (Abū Nu‘aym, al-Hilya 3/346). However, a hasan isnād is also transmitted via Abū Ṣāliḥ from Abū Hurayra, recorded by Aḥmad (Musnad 2/439), Abū Dāwud (5039), al-Tirmidhī (2745) and others. Al-Tirmidhī’s wording is: “When the Prophet ﷺ sneezed, he covered his face with his hand or his cloak and checked his voice,” which he graded hasan ṣaḥīḥ. See the full authentication in our notes on Jāmi‘ al-Tirmidhī 4/461 (Beyrouth). This constitutes a later recension of Shu‘ba’s tradition. Al-Baqīya reports from Isḥāq ibn Mālik al-Ḥaḍramī, from Ikrima, from Abū Hurayra that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever takes an oath by someone with the intention of doing him a favor, but does not fulfill it, the sin is upon the one whom he failed to benefit.” (Abū Nu‘aym, al-Hilya 3/346; al-Bayhaqī, al-Sunan al-Kubrā 10/41; al-Dhahabī in al-Mīzān 1/349; Ibn Ḥajar in Lisān al-Mīzān 1/370—all noting: “Isḥāq ibn Mālik al-Ḥaḍramī, a Shamī, is among Shu‘ba’s teachers; al-Azdī called him weak. Al-Baqīya ibn al-Walīd also transmitted it, raised, and he too is weak—see Tahrīr al-Taqrīb.”) ‘Abd Allāh ibn Aḥmad, in his Musnad (as found in Musnad Aḥmad 6/147), reports on the authority of his father: “He said to me: Muḥammad ibn Ja‘far told us, Shu‘ba from ‘Amāra,” which Ibn Abī ‘Āṣim also cites in his Zuhd (p.16). It is likewise narrated with this chain by al-Ḥākim in al-Mustadrak 2/28, by al-Tirmidhī (518/1213) under the chapter on concessions in deferred sale, and by Isḥāq ibn Rabāhī in his Musnad (3/624/1200), and is deemed ṣaḥīḥ. ‘Ubayd Allāh ibn ‘Umar al-Qawarīrī reported to us that Yazīd ibn Zuray‘ (in some copies Yazīd ibn Rabī‘, a scribal error; as confirmed by the above sources) narrated from ‘Amāra ibn Abī Ḥafṣa, from Ikrima, who related from ‘Ā’isha that the Prophet ﷺ was wearing two coarse, thick qutrīyyān cloaks. ‘Ā’isha said: “O Messenger of Allah, these two garments of yours are rather thick… ”
