Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: They are two days which Allah mentioned in His Book, and Allah knows best about them. I dislike saying concerning the Book of Allah that which I do not know. Then, time passed with its vicissitudes until I sat with Ibn al-Musayyib (may Allah be pleased with him). Someone asked him about it, and he did not inform him and did not know. I said: Shall I inform you of what I had brought from Ibn Abbas? He said: Yes. So I informed him, and he said to the questioner: This is Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both); he refused to speak about it, and he is more knowledgeable than I am (1).

Thus, the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the people of the Fire enter the Fire. Had it been left to other than Him, it would not have been finished in fifty thousand years (2).

17828 - From Mujahid (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding His saying: 'Who perfected everything He created,' he said: He made it precise. He did not place the human in the form of a donkey, nor the donkey in the form of a human (7).
