We mention some famous incidents related to Surah Al-Qasas

1. Narrated to Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar:

Umar bin Al-Khattab said, “When (my daughter) Hafsa bint `Umar lost her husband Khunais bin Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the companions of Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) and had fought in the battle of Badr and had died in Medina, I met `Uthman bin `Affan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa saying, “If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint `Umar to you,’ on that, he said, ‘I will think it over.’ I waited for a few days, and then he said to me. ‘I think that I shall not marry at present.’ Then I met Abu Bakr and said, ‘if you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint `Umar.’ He kept quiet and did not reply, and I became angrier with him than I was with `Uthman. Some days later, Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) demanded her hand in marriage, and I married her to him. Later on, Abu Bakr met me and said, “Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage, and I gave no reply to you?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except that I learned that Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) had referred to the issue of Hafsa, and I did not want to disclose the secret of Allah’s Messenger (PBUH), but had he (The Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted her.

(Sahih al-Bukhari: 4005)

2. Jabir bin Abdullah narrated:

“Allah’s Messenger would teach us Al-Isthikhara for all of our affairs just as he would teach us a Surah of the Quran, saying: ‘When one of you is worried about a matter, then let him perform two Rak’ah other than the obligatory (prayer), then let him say: (Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi’ilmika, wa astaqdiruka biqudratika, wa as’aluka min falikal-azim, fa innaka taqdiru wa la qadiru, wa ta’lami wa la a’lamu, wa anta allamul-ghayub. Allahumma in kunta ta’lamu anna hadhal-amra khairun li fi dini wa ma’ishati wa aqibati amri, or said: Fi ajili amri wa ajilihi fayassirhu li,thumma barik li fihi, wa in kunta ta’lamu anna hadhal-amra sharrun li fi dini wa ma’ishati wa aqibati amri, or said: Fi ajili amri wa ajilihi fasrifhu anni wasrifni anhu waqdur Lil-khaira haithu kana, thumma ardini bih.)” ‘O Allah! I consult Your knowledge and seek ability from Your power, and I ask You from Your magnificent bounty, for indeed You have power, and I do not have power, and You know while I do not know, and You know the unseen. O Allah! If you know that this matter is good for me in my religion or my livelihood, and for my life in the Hereafter – or he said: for my present and future – then make it easy for me, then bless me in it. If You know that this matter is bad for me in my religion and my livelihood and my life in the Hereafter – or he said: for my present and future – then divert it from me and divert me from it, enable me to find the good wherever it is, then make me pleased with it.”He said: “And he mentions his need.
