Revelation










Volume 1, Book 1, Number 1:

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

Volume 1, Book 1, Number 2:

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the mother of the faithful believers) Al-Harith bin Hisham asked
Allah's Apostle "O Allah's Apostle! How is the Divine Inspiration
revealed to you?" Allah's Apostle replied, "Sometimes it is
(revealed)
like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest
of
all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is
inspired. Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks
to
me and I grasp whatever he says." 'Aisha added: Verily I saw the
Prophet being inspired Divinely on a very cold day and noticed the
Sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over).

Volume 1, Book 1, Number 3:

Narrated 'Aisha:

(the mother of the faithful believers) The commencement of the
Divine
Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of good dreams which

came true like bright day light, and then the love of seclusion was

bestowed upon him. He used to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira
where he used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for many days
before his desire to see his family. He used to take with him the
journey food for the stay and then come back to (his wife) Khadija
to
take his food like-wise again till suddenly the Truth descended
upon
him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and
asked
him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read."

The Prophet added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me
so
hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and
again
asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.'
Thereupon
he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not
bear
it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but
again
I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?'
Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then
released me and said, 'Read in the name of your Lord, who has
created
(all that exists) has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord
is
the Most Generous." (96.1, 96.2, 96.3) Then Allah's Apostle
returned
with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely. Then he
went
to Khadija bint Khuwailid and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They
covered
him till his fear was over and after that he told her everything
that
had happened and said, "I fear that something may happen to me."
Khadija replied, "Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you.
You
keep good relations with your Kith and kin, help the poor and the
destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the deserving
calamity-afflicted ones."

Khadija then accompanied him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin
Asad
bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during the PreIslamic Period became a
Christian
and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He would write
from
the Gospel in Hebrew as much as Allah wished him to write. He was
an
old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to Waraqa, "Listen
to
the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew!

What have you seen?" Allah's Apostle described whatever he had
seen.
Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (angel
Gabriel) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and
could
live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's
Apostle asked, "Will they drive me out?" Waraqa replied in the
affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something similar
to
what you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should
remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would
support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the
Divine
Inspiration was also paused for a while.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari while talking about the
period
of pause in revelation reporting the speech of the Prophet "While I

was walking, all of a sudden I heard a voice from the sky. I looked
up
and saw the same angel who had visited me at the cave of Hira'
sitting
on a chair between the sky and the earth. I got afraid of him and
came
back home and said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).' And then Allah
revealed
the following Holy Verses (of Quran):

'O you (i.e. Muhammad)! wrapped up in garments!' Arise and warn
(the
people against Allah's Punishment),... up to 'and desert the
idols.'
(74.1-5) After this the revelation started coming strongly,
frequently
and regularly."

Volume 1, Book 1, Number 4:

Narrated Said bin Jubair:

Ibn 'Abbas in the explanation of the Statement of Allah. 'Move not
your tongue concerning (the Quran) to make haste therewith."
(75.16)
Said "Allah's Apostle used to bear the revelation with great
trouble
and used to move his lips (quickly) with the Inspiration." Ibn
'Abbas
moved his lips saying, "I am moving my lips in front of you as
Allah's
Apostle used to move his." Said moved his lips saying: "I am moving
my
lips, as I saw Ibn 'Abbas moving his." Ibn 'Abbas added, "So Allah
revealed 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur'an) to make
haste
therewith. It is for us to collect it and to give you (O Muhammad)
the
ability to recite it (the Qur'an) (75.16-17) which means that Allah

will make him (the Prophet ) remember the portion of the Qur'an
which
was revealed at that time by heart and recite it. The Statement of
Allah: And 'When we have recited it to you (O Muhammad through
Gabriel) then you follow its (Qur'an) recital' (75.18) means
'listen
to it and be silent.' Then it is for Us (Allah) to make It clear to

you' (75.19) means 'Then it is (for Allah) to make you recite it
(and
its meaning will be clear by itself through your tongue).
Afterwards,
Allah's Apostle used to listen to Gabriel whenever he came and
after
his departure he used to recite it as Gabriel had recited it."

Volume 1, Book 1, Number 5:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Apostle was the most generous of all the people, and he
used
to reach the peak in generosity in the month of Ramadan when
Gabriel
met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night of Ramadan to teach
him
the Qur'an. Allah's Apostle was the most generous person, even more

generous than the strong uncontrollable wind (in readiness and
haste
to do charitable deeds).

Volume 1, Book 1, Number 6:




Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:

Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger
to
him while he had been accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They
were
merchants doing business in Sham (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and
Jordan), at the time when Allah's Apostle had truce with Abu Sufyan

and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to
Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court
and
he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for
his
translator who, translating Heraclius's question said to them, "Who

amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a
Prophet?" Abu Sufyan replied, "I am the nearest relative to him
(amongst the group)."

Heraclius said, "Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his
companions stand behind him." Abu Sufyan added, Heraclius told his
translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some
questions
to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie
they
(my companions) should contradict me." Abu Sufyan added, "By Allah!

Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would
not
have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question he
asked
me about him was:

'What is his family status amongst you?'

I replied, 'He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.'

Heraclius further asked, 'Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the
same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?'

I replied, 'No.'

He said, 'Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?'

I replied, 'No.'

Heraclius asked, 'Do the nobles or the poor follow him?'

I replied, 'It is the poor who follow him.'

He said, 'Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?'

I replied, 'They are increasing.'

He then asked, 'Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion

become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?'

I replied, 'No.'

Heraclius said, 'Have you ever accused him of telling lies before
his
claim (to be a Prophet)?'

I replied, 'No.'

Heraclius said, 'Does he break his promises?'

I replied, 'No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he

will do in it.' I could not find opportunity to say anything
against
him except that.

Heraclius asked, 'Have you ever had a war with him?'

I replied, 'Yes.'

Then he said, 'What was the outcome of the battles?'

I replied, 'Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.'

Heraclius said, 'What does he order you to do?'

I said, 'He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to
worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our
ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be

chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.'

Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, I
asked
you about his family and your reply was that he belonged to a very
noble family. In fact all the Apostles come from noble families
amongst their respective peoples. I questioned you whether anybody
else amongst you claimed such a thing, your reply was in the
negative.
If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have thought
that
this man was following the previous man's statement. Then I asked
you
whether anyone of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the
negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have
thought
that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom.

I further asked whether he was ever accused of telling lies before
he
said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. So I
wondered
how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a

lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed

him or the poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him.

And in fact all the Apostle have been followed by this very class
of
people. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or
decreasing. You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this
is
the way of true faith, till it is complete in all respects. I
further
asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his
religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply
was
in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when

its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I
asked
you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and
likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what he
ordered
you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and
Allah
alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you
to
worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to be

chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy
this
place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that
he
was going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you,
and
if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him

and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.'
Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by Allah's Apostle which
was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded
it to Heraclius to read. The contents of the letter were as
follows:
"In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is)

from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the
ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path.
Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you
will
be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this
invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your

Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah's Statement:)

'O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us
that
we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship
with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside
Allah.
Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims
(those
who have surrendered to Allah).' (3:64).

Abu Sufyan then added, "When Heraclius had finished his speech and
had
read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court.
So
we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the
question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet Muhammad) has become so
prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid
of
him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be
the
conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah
guided
me to it)."

The sub narrator adds, "Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya'
(Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham.
Ibn
An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting Ilya'
(Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his
priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a
foreteller
and an astrologer. He replied, 'At night when I looked at the
stars, I
saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared

(become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?'
The
people replied, 'Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so
you
should not be afraid of them (Jews).

'Just issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.'

While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of
Ghassan
to convey the news of Allah's Apostle to Heraclius was brought in.
Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and
see
whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after

seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then
asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, 'Arabs also
practice
circumcision.'

(After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the
'Arabs
had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome
who
was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for
Homs.
(a town in Syrian and stayed there till he received the reply of
his
letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the

emergence of the Prophet and the fact that he was a Prophet. On
that
Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in
his
palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors
of
his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, 'O Byzantines! If
success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your

empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet
(i.e. embrace Islam).'

(On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the
gates
of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius
realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of
their
embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in
audience.

(When they returned) he said, 'What already said was just to test
the
strength of your conviction and I have seen it.' The people
prostrated
before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of
Heraclius's story (in connection with his faith).

Oppressions










Volume 3, Book 43, Number 620:

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

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

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

These are the people who lied against their Lord. Behold! The Curse

Allah is upon the wrongdoers." (11.18)

eloquently than the other, whereby I may consider him true and give

rights
of the way?" He said, "They are the lowering of your gazes (on
seeing
what is illegal to look at), refraining from harming people,
returning
greetings, advocating good and forbidding evil."

suffering from thirst as I did." So, he went down the well again
and
filled his shoe with water and watered it. Allah thanked him for
that
deed and forgave him. The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is there
a
reward for us in serving the animals?" He replied: "Yes, there is a

reward for serving any animate (living being)." (See Hadith No.

the
spots where rain-drops fall (during a heavy rain). (See
Hadith No. 102)

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."

month as his foot had been sprained. He stayed in an upper room
when

said,
"No, but I have taken an oath that I would not go to them for one
month." The Prophet stayed there for twenty-nine days, and then
came
down and went to his wives.

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."

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

"Allah's Apostle sent an army towards the east coast and appointed
Abu
'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as their chief, and the army consisted of
three-hundred men including myself. We marched on till we reached a

place where our food was about to finish. Abu- 'Ubaida ordered us
to
collect all the journey food and it was collected. My (our) journey

food was dates. Abu 'Ubaida kept on giving us our daily ration in
small amounts from it, till it was exhausted. The share of everyone
of
us used to be one date only." I said, "How could one date benefit
you?" Jabir replied, "We came to know its value when even that too
finished." Jabir added, "When we reached the sea-shore, we saw a
huge
fish which was like a small mountain. The army ate from it for
eighteen days. Then Abu 'Ubaida ordered that two of its ribs be
fixed
and they were fixed in the ground. Then he ordered that a she-camel
be
ridden and it passed under the two ribs (forming an arch) without
touching them."

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 664:

Narrated Salama:

Once the journey food diminished and the people were reduced to
poverty. They went to the Prophet and asked his permission to
slaughter their camels, and he agreed. 'Umar met them and they told

him about it, and he said, "How would you survive after
slaughtering
your camels?" Then he went to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! How would they survive after slaughtering their camels?"
Allah's Apostle ordered 'Umar, "Call upon the people to bring what
has
remained of their food." A leather sheet was spread and al I the
journey food was collected and heaped over it. Allah's Apostle
stood
up and invoked Allah to bless it, and then directed all the people
to
come with their utensils, and they started taking from it till all
of
them got what was sufficient for them. Allah's Apostle then said,
"I
testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I
am
His Apostle. "

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 665:

food
during the holy battles, or the food of their families in Medina

short, they would collect all their remaining food in one sheet and

then distribute it among themselves equally by measuring it with a
bowl. So, these people are from me, and I am from them."

Narrated 'Abaya bin Rafa'a bin Raft' bin Khadij:

My grandfather said, "We were in the company of the Prophet at
Dhul-Hulaifa. The people felt hungry and captured some camels and
sheep (as booty). The Prophet was behind the people. They hurried
and
slaughtered the animals and put their meat in pots and started
cooking
it. (When the Prophet came) he ordered the pots to be upset and
then
he distributed the animals (of the booty), regarding ten sheep as
equal to one camel. One of the camels fled and the people ran after
it
till they were exhausted. At that time there were few horses. A man

threw an arrow at the camel, and Allah stopped the camel with it.
The
Prophet said, "Some of these animals are like wild animals, so if
you
lose control over one of these animals, treat it in this way (i.e.
shoot it with an arrow)." Before distributing them among the
soldiers
my grandfather said, "We may meet the enemies in the future and
have
no knives; can we slaughter the animals with reeds?" The Prophet
said,
"Use whatever causes blood to flow, and eat the animals if the name
of
Allah has been mentioned on slaughtering them. Do not slaughter
with
teeth or fingernails and I will tell you why: It is because teeth
are
bones (i.e. cannot cut properly) and fingernails are the tools used
by
the Ethiopians (whom we should not imitate for they are infidels)."

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 669:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet decreed that one should not eat two dates together at a

"While at Medina we were struck with famine. Ibn Az-Zubair used to
provide us with dates as our food. Ibn 'Umar used to pass by us and

say, "Don't eat two dates together at a time as the Prophet has
forbidden eating two dates together at a time (in a gathering)
unless
one takes the permission of one's companion brother."

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 671:

Narrated Nafi:

Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'If one manumits his share
of a
jointly possessed slave, and can afford the price of the other
shares
according to the adequate price of the slave, the slave will be
completely manumitted; otherwise he will be partially manumitted.' "

(Aiyub, a sub-narrator is not sure whether the saying " ...
otherwise
he will be partially manumitted" was said by Nafi' or the Prophet.)

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 672:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his share of a jointly
possessed
slave, it is imperative for him to get that slave manumitted
completely by paying the remaining price, and if he does not have
sufficient money to manumit him, then the price of the slave should
be
estimated justly, and he is to be allowed to work and earn the
amount
that will manumit him (without overburdening him)".

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 673:

Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:

The Prophet said, "The example of the person abiding by Allah's
order
and restrictions in comparison to those who violate them is like
the
example of those persons who drew lots for their seats in a boat.
Some
of them got seats in the upper part, and the others in the lower.
When
the latter needed water, they had to go up to bring water (and that

troubled the others), so they said, 'Let us make a hole in our
share
of the ship (and get water) saving those who are above us from
troubling them. So, if the people in the upper part left the others
do
what they had suggested, all the people of the ship would be
destroyed, but if they prevented them, both parties would be safe."

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 674:

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair:

That he had asked 'Aisha about the meaning of the Statement of
Allah:
"If you fear that you shall not Be able to deal justly With the
orphan
girls, then Marry (Other) women of your choice Two or three or
four."
(4.3)

She said, "O my nephew! This is about the orphan girl who lives
with
her guardian and shares his property. Her wealth and beauty may
tempt
him to marry her without giving her an adequate Mahr (bridal-money)

which might have been given by another suitor. So, such guardians
were
forbidden to marry such orphan girls unless they treated them
justly
and gave them the most suitable Mahr; otherwise they were ordered
to
marry any other woman." 'Aisha further said, "After that verse the
people again asked the Prophet (about the marriage with orphan
'girls), so Allah revealed the following verses:-- 'They ask your
instruction Concerning the women. Say: Allah Instructs you about
them
And about what is Recited unto you In the Book, concerning The
orphan
girls to whom You give not the prescribed portions and yet whom you

Desire to marry..." (4.127)

What is meant by Allah's Saying:-- 'And about what is Recited unto
you
is the former verse which goes:-- 'If you fear that you shall not
Be
able to deal justly With the orphan girls, then Marry (other) women
of
your choice.' (4.3) 'Aisha said, "Allah's saying in the other
verse:--'Yet whom you desire to marry' (4.127) means the desire of
the
guardian to marry an orphan girl under his supervision when she has

not much property or beauty (in which case he should treat her
justly). The guardians were forbidden to marry their orphan girls
possessing property and beauty without being just to them, as they
generally refrain from marrying them (when they are neither
beautiful
nor wealthy)."

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 675:

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

The Prophet established the right of Shu'fa (i.e. Pre-emption) in

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 676:

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "The right of pre-emption is valid in every joint

property, but when the land is divided and the way is demarcated,
then
there is no right of pre-emption."

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 677:

Narrated Sulaiman bin Abu Muslim:

I asked Abu Minhal about money exchange from hand to hand. He said,
"I
and a partner of mine bought something partly in cash and partly on

credit." Al-Bara' bin 'Azib passed by us and we asked about it. He
replied, "I and my partner Zaid bin Al-Arqam did the same and then
went to the Prophet and asked him about it. He said, 'Take what was

from hand to hand and leave what was on credit.' "

behalf."

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 680:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Hisham:

that his mother Zainab bint Humaid took him to the Prophet and
said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Take the pledge of allegiance from him." But he

said, "He is still too young for the pledge," and passed his hand
on
his (i.e. 'Abdullah's) head and invoked for Allah's blessing for
him.
Zuhra bin Ma'bad stated that he used to go with his grandfather,
'Abdullah bin Hisham, to the market to buy foodstuff. Ibn 'Umar and

Ibn Az-Zubair would meet him and say to him, "Be our partner, as
the
Prophet invoked Allah to bless you." So, he would be their partner,

and very often he would win a camel's load and send it home.

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 681:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his share o a jointly possessed

slave, it is imperative on him to manumit the slave completely if
he
has sufficient money to pay the rest of its price which is to be
estimated justly. He should pay his partners their shares and
release
him (the freed one).

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 682:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his share of a jointly
possessed
slave, it is essential for him to manumit the slave completely if
he
has sufficient money. Otherwise he should look for some work for
the
slave (to earn what would enable him to emancipate himself),
without
overburdening him with work."

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 683:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet (along with his companions) reached Mecca in the
morning
of the fourth of Dhul-Hijja assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when
we
arrived at Mecca, the Prophet ordered us to change our intentions
of
the Ihram for'Umra and that we could finish our Ihram after
performing
the 'Umra and could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The
people began talking about that. Jabir said surprisingly, "Shall we
go
to Mina while semen is dribbling from our male organs?" Jabir moved

his hand while saying so. When this news reached the Prophet he
delivered a sermon and said, "I have been informed that some
peoples
were saying so and so; By Allah I fear Allah more than you do, and
am
more obedient to Him than you. If I had known what I know now, I
would
not have brought the Hadi (sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not
been with me, I would have finished the Ihram." At that Suraqa bin
Malik stood up and asked "O Allah's Apostle! Is this permission for
us
only or is it forever?" The Prophet replied, "It is forever." In
the
meantime 'Ali bin Abu Talib came from Yemen and was saying Labbaik
for
what the Prophet has intended. (According to another man, 'Ali was
saying Labbaik for Hajj similar to Allah's Apostle's). The Prophet
told him to keep on the Ihram and let him share the Hadi with him.

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 684:




Narrated Abaya bin Rifaa:

My grandfather, Rafi bin Khadij said, "We were in the valley of
Dhul-Hulaifa of Tuhama in the company of the Prophet and had some
camels and sheep (of the booty). The people hurried (in
slaughtering
the animals) and put their meat in the pots and started cooking.
Allah's Apostle came and ordered them to upset the pots, and
distributed the booty considering one camel as equal to ten sheep.
One
of the camels fled and the people had only a few horses, so they
got
worried. (The camel was chased and) a man slopped the camel by
throwing an arrow at it. Allah's Apostle said, 'Some of these
animals
are untamed like wild animals, so if anyone of them went out of
your
control, then you should treat it as you have done now.' " My
grandfather said, "O Allah's Apostle! We fear that we may meet our
enemy tomorrow and we have no knives, could we slaughter the
animals
with reeds?" The Prophet said, "Yes, or you can use what would make

blood flow (slaughter) and you can eat what is slaughtered and the
Name of Allah is mentioned at the time of slaughtering. But don't
use
teeth or fingernails (in slaughtering). I will tell you why, as for

teeth, they are bones, and fingernails are used by Ethiopians for
slaughtering. (See Hadith 668)

Mortgaging










Volume 3, Book 45, Number 685:

Narrated Anas:

No doubt, the Prophet mortgaged his armor for barley grams. Once I
took barley bread with some dissolved fat on it to the Prophet and I

heard him saying, "The household of Muhammad did not possess except
a
Sa (of food grain, barley, etc.) for both the morning and the
evening
meals although they were nine houses."

Volume 3, Book 45, Number 686:

The Prophet bought some foodstuff on credit for a limited period
and

Volume 3, Book 45, Number 687:

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "Who would kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf as he has
harmed Allah and His Apostle ?" Muhammad bin Maslama (got up and)
said, "I will kill him." So, Muhammad bin Maslama went to Ka'b and
said, "I want a loan of one or two Wasqs of food grains." Ka'b
said,
"Mortgage your women to me." Muhammad bin Maslama said, "How can we

mortgage our women, and you are the most handsome among the Arabs?"
He
said, "Then mortgage your sons to me." Muhammad said, "How can we
mortgage our sons, as the people will abuse them for being
mortgaged
for one or two Wasqs of food grains? It is shameful for us. But we
will mortgage our arms to you." So, Muhammad bin Maslama promised
him
that he would come to him next time. They (Muhammad bin Maslama and

his companions came to him as promised and murdered him. Then they
went to the Prophet and told him about it.

Volume 3, Book 45, Number 688:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "One can ride the mortgaged animal because of
what
one spends on it, and one can drink the milk of a milch animal as
long
as it is mortgaged. "

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "The mortgaged animal can be used for riding
as
long as it is fed and the milk of the milch animal can be drunk
according to what one spend on it. The one who rides the animal or
drinks its milk should provide the expenditures."

Volume 3, Book 45, Number 691:

Narrated Ibn Abu Mulaika:

I wrote a letter to Ibn 'Abbas and he wrote to me that the Prophet
had
given the verdict that the defendant had to take an oath.

Volume 3, Book 45, Number 692:




Narrated Abu Wail:

Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) said, "Whoever took a false oath in order to
grab somebody's property will meet Allah while Allah will be angry
with him." Allah revealed the following verse to confirm
that:--"Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of
Allah's
covenant And their oaths...a painful torment." (3.77)

Al-Ash'ath bin Qais came to us and asked as to what Abu
Abdur-Rehman
(i.e. Ibn Mas'ud) was telling you." We related the story to him. On

that he said, "He has told the truth. This verse was revealed about

me. I had some dispute with another man regarding a well and we
took
the case before Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle said (to me),
"Produce two witnesses (to support your claim); otherwise the
defendant has the right to take an oath (to refute your claim).' I
said, 'The defendant would not mind to take a false oath." Allah's
Apostle then said, 'Whoever took a false oath in order to grab
someone
else's property will meet Allah, Allah will be angry with him.'
Allah
then revealed what Confirmed it." Al-Ash'ath then recited the
following Verse:--"Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the
cost
of Allah's covenant, And their oaths . . . (to) . . . they shall
have
a painful torment!' (3.77) (See Hadith No. 546)

Manumission of Slaves










Volume 3, Book 46, Number 693:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Whoever frees a Muslim slave, Allah will save
all
the parts of his body from the (Hell) Fire as he has freed the
body-parts of the slave." Said bin Marjana said that he narrated
that
Hadith to 'Ali bin Al-Husain and he freed his slave for whom
'Abdullah
bin Ja'far had offered him ten thousand Dirhams or one-thousand
Dinars.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 694:

Narrated Abu Dhar:

I asked the Prophet, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To
believe
in Allah and to fight for His Cause." I then asked, "What is the
best
kind of manumission (of slaves)?" He replied, "The manumission of
the
most expensive slave and the most beloved by his master." I said,
"If
I cannot afford to do that?" He said, "Help the weak or do good for
a
person who cannot work for himself." I said, "If I cannot do that?"
He
said, "Refrain from harming others for this will be regarded as a
charitable deed for your own good."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 695:

Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr:

The Prophet ordered us to free slaves at the time of solar
eclipses.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits a slave owned by two masters,
should manumit him completely (not partially) if he is rich after
having its price evaluated."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 698:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever frees his share of a common slave
and
he has sufficient money to free him completely, should let its
price
be estimated by a just man and give his partners the price of their

shares and manumit the slave; otherwise (i.e. if he has not
sufficient
money) he manumits the slave partially."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 699:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever manumits his share of a slave, then
it
is essential for him to get that slave manumitted' completely as
long
as he has the money to do so. If he has not sufficient money to pay

the price of the other shares (after the price of the slave is
evaluated justly), the manumitted manumits the slave partially in
proportion to his share.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 700:

Narrated 'Ubaidullah:

as above BRIEFLY.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 701:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "He who manumits his share of a slave and has
money
sufficient to free the remaining portion of that slave's price
(justly
estimated) then he should manumit him (by giving the rest of his
price
to the other co-owners)." Nafi' added, "Otherwise the slave is
partially free." Aiyub is not sure whether the last statement was
said
by Nafi' or it was a part of the Hadith.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 702:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

That he used to give his verdict regarding the male or female
slaves
owned by more than one master, one of whom may manumit his share of

the slave. Ibn 'Umar used to say in such a case, "The manumitted
should manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money to
pay
the rest of the price of that slave (which is to be justly
estimated)
and the other share-holders are to take the price of their shares
and
the slave is freed (released from slavery)." Ibn 'Umar narrated
this
verdict from the Prophet.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 703:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

that the Prophet said, "Whoever frees his portion of a (common)
slave."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 704:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Whoever frees his portion of a common slave
should
free the slave completely by paying the rest of his price from his
money if he has enough money; otherwise the price of the slave is
to
be estimated and the slave is to be helped to work without hardship

till he pays the rest of his price."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 705:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "Allah has accepted my invocation to forgive what

whispers in the hearts of my followers, unless they put it to
action
or utter it." (See Hadith No. 657 Vol. 8)

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 706:

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

The Prophet said, "The (reward of) deeds depend on intentions, and
every person will get the reward according to what he intends. So,
whoever migrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his migration will
be
for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever migrated for worldly
benefits
or for marrying a woman, then his migration will be for what he
migrated for." (See Hadith No. 1, Vol. 1)

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 707:

Narrated Qais:

When Abu Huraira accompanied by his slave set out intending to
embrace
Islam they lost each other on the way. The slave then came while
Abu
Huraira was sitting with the Prophet. The Prophet said, "O Abu
Huraira! Your slave has come back." Abu Huraira said, "Indeed, I
would
like you to witness that I have manumitted him." That happened at
the
time when Abu Huraira recited (the following poetic verse):-- 'What
a
long tedious tiresome night! Nevertheless, it has delivered us From

the land of Kufr (disbelief).

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 708:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

On my way to the Prophet I was reciting:-- 'What a long tedious
tiresome night! Nevertheless, it has saved us From the land of Kufr

(disbelief).' I had a slave who ran away from me on the way. When I

went to the Prophet and gave the pledge of allegiance for embracing

Islam, the slave showed up while I was still with the Prophet who
remarked, "O Abu Huraira! Here is your slave!" I said, "I manumit
him
for Allah's Sake," and so I freed him.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 709:

Narrated Qais:

When Abu Huraira accompanied by his slave came intending to embrace

Islam, they lost each other on the way. (When the slave showed up)
Abu
Huraira said (to the Prophet), "I make you witness that the slave
is
free for Allah's Cause."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 710:

Narrated 'Aisha:

Utba bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Sad bin Abi Waqqas to
take
the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a into his custody, telling him
that
the boy was his own (illegal) son. When Allah's Apostle went (to
Mecca) at the time of the Conquest, Sad took the son of the
slavegirl
of Zam'a to Allah's Apostle and also brought 'Abu bin Zam'a with
him
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is the son of my brother 'Utba
who
authorized me to take him into my custody." 'Abu bin Zam'a said, "O

Allah's Apostle! He is my brother, the son of Zam'a' slave-girl and
he
was born on his bed." Allah's Apostle looked at the son of the
slave-girl of Zam'a and noticed much resemblance (to 'Utba).
Allah's
Apostle said, "It is for you, O 'Abu bin Zam'a as he was born on
the
bed of your father." Allah's Apostle then told Sauda bint Zam'a to
observe veil in the presence of the boy as he noticed the boy's
resemblance to 'Utba and Sauda was the wife of the Prophet .

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 711:

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

A man amongst us declared that his slave would be freed after his
death. The Prophet called for that slave and sold him. The slave
died
the same year.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 712:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle forbade the selling or donating the Wala' of a
freed
slave.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 713:

Narrated 'Aisha:

I bought Buraira but her masters put the condition that her Wala'
would be for them. I told the Prophet about it. He said (to me),
"Manumit her as her Wala' will be for the one who pays the price."
So,
I manumitted her. The Prophet called Buraira and gave her the
option
of either staying with her husband or leaving him. She said, "Even
if
he gave me so much money, I would not stay with him," and so she
preferred her freedom to her husband.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 714:

Narrated Anas:

Some men of the Ansar asked for the permission of Allah's Apostle
and
said, "Allow us to give up the ransom from our nephew Al-'Abbas.
The
Prophet said (to them), "Do not leave (even) a Dirham (of his
ransom)."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 715:

Narrated Hisham:

My father told me that Hakim bin Hizam manumitted one-hundred
slaves
in the pre-lslamic period of ignorance and slaughtered one-hundred
camels (and distributed them in charity). When he embraced Islam he

again slaughtered one-hundred camels and manumitted one-hundred
slaves. Hakim said, "I asked Allah's Apostle, 'O Allah's Apostle!
What
do you think about some good deeds I used to practice in the
prelslamic period of ignorance regarding them as deeds of
righteousness?' Allah's Apostle said, "You have embraced Islam
along
with all those good deeds you did."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 716:

Narrated Marwan and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:

When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet and
they requested him to return their properties and captives. The
Prophet stood up and said to them, "I have other people with me in
this matter (as you see) and the most beloved statement to me is
the
true one; you may choose either the properties or the prisoners as I

have delayed their distribution." The Prophet had waited for them
for
more than ten days since his arrival from Ta'if. So, when it became

evident to them that the Prophet was not going to return them
except
one of the two, they said, "We choose our prisoners." The Prophet
got
up amongst the people and glorified and praised Allah as He
deserved
and said, "Then after, these brethren of yours have come to us with

repentance, and I see it logical to return them the captives. So,
whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it,

and whoever of you likes to stick to his share till we recompense
him
from the very first war booty which Allah will give us, then he can
do
so (i.e. give up the present captives)." The people unanimously
said,
"We do that (return the captives) willingly." The Prophet said, "We
do
not know which of you has agreed to it and which have not, so go
back
and let your leaders forward us your decision." So, all the people
then went back and discussed the matter with their leaders who
returned and informed the Prophet that all the people had willingly

given their consent to return the captives. This is what has
reached
us about the captives of Hawazin. Narrated Anas that 'Abbas said to

the Prophet, "I paid for my ransom and Aqil's ransom."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 717:

Narrated Ibn Aun:

I wrote a letter to Nafi and Nafi wrote in reply to my letter that
the
Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning while
they
were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the places of
water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and children
were taken as captives; the Prophet got Juwairiya on that day. Nafi

said that Ibn 'Umar had told him the above narration and that Ibn
'Umar was in that army.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 718:

Narrated Ibn Muhairiz:

I saw Abu Said and asked him about coitus interruptus. Abu Said
said,
"We went with Allah's Apostle, in the Ghazwa of Barli Al-Mustaliq
and
we captured some of the 'Arabs as captives, and the long separation

from our wives was pressing us hard and we wanted to practice
coitus
interruptus. We asked Allah's Apostle (whether it was permissible).
He
said, "It is better for you not to do so. No soul, (that which
Allah
has) destined to exist, up to the Day of Resurrection, but will
definitely come, into existence."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 719:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I have loved the people of the tribe of Bani Tamim ever since I
heard,
three things, Allah's Apostle said about them. I heard him saying,
These people (of the tribe of Bani Tamim) would stand firm against
Ad-Dajjal." When the Sadaqat (gifts of charity) from that tribe
came,
Allah's Apostle said, "These are the Sadaqat (i.e. charitable
gifts)
of our folk." 'Aisha had a slave-girl from that tribe, and the
Prophet
said to 'Aisha, "Manumit her as she is a descendant of Ishmael (the

Prophet)."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 720:

reward."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 721:

Narrated Al-Ma'rur bin Suwaid:

I saw Abu Dhar Al-Ghifari wearing a cloak, and his slave, too, was
wearing a cloak. We asked him about that (i.e. how both were
wearing
similar cloaks). He replied, "Once I abused a man and he complained
of
me to the Prophet . The Prophet asked me, 'Did you abuse him by
slighting his mother?' He added, 'Your slaves are your brethren
upon
whom Allah has given you authority. So, if one has one's brethren
under one's control, one should feed them with the like of what one

eats and clothe them with the like of what one wears. You should
not
overburden them with what they cannot bear, and if you do so, help
them (in their hard job)."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 722:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle said, "If a slave is honest and faithful to his
master
and worships his Lord (Allah) in a perfect manner, he will get a
double reward."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 723:

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:

The Prophet said, "He who has a slave-girl and teaches her good
manners and improves her education and then manumits and marries
her,
will get a double reward; and any slave who observes Allah's right
and
his master's right will get a double reward."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 724:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "A pious slave gets a double reward." Abu
Huraira added: By Him in Whose Hands my soul is but for Jihad (i.e.

holy battles), Hajj, and my duty to serve my mother, I would have
loved to die as a slave.

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 725:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

sincerely and worships his Lord (Allah) perfectly, he will get a
double reward."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 727:

Narrated Abu Musa:

The Prophet said, "The Mamluk (slave) who worships his Lord in a
perfect manner, and is dutiful, sincere and obedient to his Saiyid
(master), will get a double reward."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 728:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "You should not say, 'Feed your lord (Rabbaka),
help
your lord in performing ablution, or give water to your lord, but
should say, 'my master (e.g. Feed your master instead of lord etc.)

(Saiyidi), or my guardian (Maulai), and one should not say, my
slave
(Abdi), or my girl-slave (Amati), but should say, my lad (Fatai),
my
lass (Fatati), and 'my boy (Ghulami)."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 729:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

The Prophet said, "If one manumits his share of a common slave
(Abd),
and he has money sufficient to free the remaining portion of the
price
of the slave (justly estimated), then he should free the slave
completely by paying the rest of his price; otherwise the slave is
freed partly. "

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 730:

Narrated 'Abdullah:

Allah's Apostle said, "Everyone of you is a guardian and is
responsible for his charges. The ruler who has authority over
people,
is a guardian and is responsible for them, a man is a guardian of
his
family and is responsible for them; a woman is a guardian of her
husband's house and children and is responsible for them; a slave
('Abu) is a guardian of his master's property and is responsible
for
it; so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your
charges."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 731:

Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:

The Prophet said, "If a slave-girl (Ama) commits illegal sexual
intercourse, scourge her; if she does it again, scourge her again;
if
she repeats it, scourge her again." The narrator added that on the
third or the fourth offence, the Prophet said, "Sell her even for a

hair rope."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 732:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "When your servant brings your meals to you then
if
he does not let him sit and share the meals, then he should at
least
give him a mouthful or two mouthfuls of that meal or a meal or two
meals, as he has prepared it."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 733:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

That he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Everyone of you is a
guardian
and is responsible for his charge; the ruler is a guardian and is
responsible for his subjects; the man is a guardian in his family
and
responsible for his charges; a woman is a guardian of her husband's

house and responsible for her charges; and the servant is a
guardian
of his master's property and is responsible for his charge." I
definitely heard the above from the Prophet and think that the
Prophet
also said, "A man is a guardian of his father's property and
responsible for his charges; so everyone of you is a guardian and
responsible for his charges."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 734:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "If somebody fights (or beats somebody) then he
should avoid the face."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 735:

Narrated 'Urwa:

That 'Aisha told him that Buraira came to seek her help in her
writing
of emancipation (for a certain sum) and that time she had not paid
anything of it. 'Aisha said to her, "Go back to your masters, and
if
they agree that I will pay the amount of your writing of
emancipation
and get your Wala', I will do so." Buraira informed her masters of
that but they refused and said, "If she (i.e. 'Aisha) is seeking
Allah's reward, then she can do so, but your Wala' will be for us."

'Aisha mentioned that to Allah's Apostle who said to her, "Buy and
manumit her, as the Wala' is for the liberator." Allah's Apostle
then
got up and said, "What about the people who stipulate conditions
which
are not present in Allah's Laws? Whoever imposes conditions which
are
not present in Allah's Laws, then those conditions will be invalid,

even if he imposed these conditions a hundred times. Allah's
conditions (Laws) are the truth and are more solid."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 736:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:

Aisha wanted to buy a slave-girl in order to manumit her. The
girl's
masters stipulated that her Wala' would be for them. Allah's
Apostle
said (to 'Aisha), "What they stipulate should not stop you, for the

Wala' is for the liberator."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 737:

Narrated Aisha:

Buraira came (to 'Aisha) and said, "I have made a contract of
emancipation with my masters for nine Uqiyas (of gold) to be paid
in
yearly installments. Therefore, I seek your help." 'Aisha said, "If

your masters agree, I will pay them the sum at once and free you on

condition that your Wala' will be for me." Buraira went to her
masters
but they refused that offer. She (came back) and said, "I presented
to
them the offer but they refused, unless the Wala' was for them."
Allah's Apostle heard of that and asked me about it, and I told him

about it. On that he said, "Buy and manumit her and stipulate that
the
Wala' should be for you, as Wala' is for the liberator." 'Aisha
added,
"Allah's Apostle then got up amongst the people, Glorified and
Praised
Allah, and said, 'Then after: What about some people who impose
conditions which are not present in Allah's Laws? So, any condition

which is not present in Allah's Laws is invalid even if they were
one-hundred conditions. Allah's ordinance is the truth, and Allah's

condition is stronger and more solid. Why do some men from you say,
O
so-and-so! manumit the slave but the Wala will be for me? Verily,
the
Wala is for the liberator."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 738:

Narrated Amra bint 'AbdurRahman:

Buraira went to Aisha, the mother of the faithful believers to seek

her help in her emancipation Aisha said to her, "If your masters
agree, I will pay them your price in a lump sum and manumit you."
Buraira mentioned that offer to her masters but they refused to
sell
her unless the Wala' was for them. 'Aisha told Allah's Apostle
about
it. He said, "Buy and manumit her as the Wala' is for the
liberator."

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 739:




Narrated 'Abdul Wahid bin Aiman:

I went to 'Aisha and said, "I was the slave of Utba bin Abu Lahab.
"Utba died and his sons became my masters who sold me to Ibn Abu
Amr
who manumitted me. The sons of 'Utba stipulated that my Wala'
should
be for them." 'Aisha said, "Buraira came to me and she was given
the
writing of emancipation by her masters and she asked me to buy and
manumit her. I agreed to it, but Buraira told me that her masters
would not sell her unless her Wala' was for them." 'Aisha said, "I
am
not in need of that." When the Prophet heard that, or he was told
about it, he asked 'Aisha about it. 'Aisha mentioned what Buraira
had
told her. The Prophet said, "Buy and manumit her and let them
stipulate whatever they like." So, 'Aisha bought and manumitted her

and her masters stipulated that her Wala' should be for them." The
Prophet;, said, "The Wala' will be for the liberator even if they
stipulated a hundred conditions."

Gifts

then

crescents
in two months and no fire (for cooking) used to be made in the
houses
of Allah's Apostle. I said, "O my aunt! Then what use to sustain
you?"
'Aisha said, "The two black things: dates and water, our neighbors
from Ansar had some Manarh and they used to present Allah's Apostle

some of their milk and he used to make us drink."

Narrated Sahl:

The Prophet sent for a woman from the emigrants and she had a slave

who was a carpenter. The Prophet said to her "Order your slave to
prepare the wood (pieces) for the pulpit." So, she ordered her
slave
who went and cut the wood from the tamarisk and prepared the
pulpit,
for the Prophet. When he finished the pulpit, the woman informed
the
Prophet that it had been finished. The Prophet asked her to send
that
pulpit to him, so they brought it. The Prophet lifted it and placed
it
at the place in which you see now."

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 744:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abu Qatada Al-Aslami:

That his father said, "One day I was sitting with some of the
Prophet's companions on the way to Mecca. Allah's Apostle was ahead
of
us. All of my companions were in the state of Ihram while I was a
non-Muhrim. They saw an onager while I was busy repairing my shoes,
so
they did not tell me about it but they wished I had seen it. By
chance
I looked up and saw it. So, I turned to the horse, saddled it and
rode
on it, forgetting to take the spear and the whip. I asked them if
they
could hand over to me the whip and the spear but they said, 'No, by

Allah, we shall not help you in that in any way.' I became angry
and
got down from the horse, picked up both the things and rode the
horse
again. I attacked the onager and slaughtered it, and brought it
(after
it had been dead). They took it (cooked some of it) and started
eating
it, but they doubted whether it was allowed for them to eat it or
not,
as they were in the state of Ihram. So, we proceeded and I hid with
me
one of its fore-legs. When we met Allah's Apostle and asked him
about
the case, he asked, 'Do you have a portion of it with you?' I
replied
in the affirmative and gave him that fleshy fore-leg which he ate
completely while he was in the state of Ihram .

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 745:

Narrated Anas:

Once Allah's Apostle visited us in this house of ours and asked for

something to drink. We milked one of our sheep and mixed it with
water
from this well of ours and gave it to him. Abu Bakr was sitting on
his
left side and 'Umar in front of him and a bedouin on his right
side.
When Allah's Apostle finished, 'Umar said to Allah's Apostle "Here
is
Abu Bakr." But Allah's Apostle gave the remaining milk to the
bedouin
and said twice, "The (persons on the) right side! So, start from
the
right side." Anas added, "It is a Sunna (the Prophet's traditions)"

and repeated it thrice.

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 746:

Narrated Anas:

We chased a rabbit at Mar-al-Zahran and the people ran after it but

were exhausted. I overpowered and caught it, and gave it to Abu
Talha
who slaughtered it and sent its hip or two thighs to Allah's
Apostle.
(The narrator confirms that he sent two thighs). The Prophet
accepted
that. (The sub-narrator asked Anas, "Did the Prophet; eat from it?"

Anas replied, "He ate from it.")

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 747:

Narrated As-Sa'b bin Jaththama:

An onager was presented to Allah's Apostle at the place called
Al-Abwa' or Waddan, but Allah's Apostle rejected it. When the
Prophet
noticed the signs of sorrow on the giver's face he said, "We have
not
rejected your gift, but we are in the state of Ihram." (i.e. if we
were not in a state of Ihram we would have accepted your gift,
Fateh-al-Bari page 130, Vol. 6)

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 748:

Narrated Aisha:

The people used to look forward for the days of my ('Aisha's) turn
to
send gifts to Allah's Apostle in order to please him.

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 749:

Narrated Said bin Jubair:

Ibn Abbas said: Um Hufaid, Ibn 'Abbas's aunt sent some dried yogurt

(butter free), ghee (butter) and a mastigar to the Prophet as a
gift.
The Prophet ate the dried yogurt and butter but left the mastigar
because he disliked it. Ibn 'Abbas said, "The mastigar was eaten at

the table of Allah's Apostle and if it had been illegal to eat, it
could not have been eaten at the table of Allah's Apostle."

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 750:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Whenever a meal was brought to Allah's Apostle, he would ask
whether
it was a gift or Sadaqa (something given in charity). If he was
told
that it was Sadaqa, he would tell his companions to eat it, but if
it
was a gift, he would hurry to share it with them.

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 751:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Some meat was brought to the Prophet and it was said that the meat
had
been given in charity to Buraira. He said, "It was Sadaqa for
Buraira
but a gift for us."

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 752:

Narrated 'Aisha:

I intended to buy Buraira but her masters stipulated that her Wala
should be for them. When the Prophet was told about it, he said to
me,
"Buy and manumit her, as the Wala' is for the liberator." Once
Buraira
was given some meat, and the Prophet asked, "What is this?" I said,

"It has been given to Buraira in charity." He said, "It is sadaqa
for
her but a gift for us." Buraira was given the option (to stay with
her
husband or to part with him). AbdurRahman (a sub-narrator)
wondered,
"Was her husband a slave or a free man?" Shu'ba (another
sub-narrator)
said, "I asked 'Abdur-Rahman whether her husband was a slave or a
free
man. He replied that he did not know whether he was a slave or a
free
man."

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 753:

Narrated Um 'Atiyya:

Once the Prophet went to 'Aisha and asked her whether she had
something (to eat). She said that she had nothing except the mutton

which Um 'Atiyya had sent to (Buraira) in charity. The Prophet said

that it had reached its destination (i.e. it is no longer an object
of
charity.)

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 754:

Narrated 'Aisha:

The people used to send gifts to the Prophet on the day of my turn.
Um
Salama said: "My companions (the wives of the Prophet Other than
Aisha) gathered and they complained about it. So I informed the
Prophet about it on their behalf, but he remained silent.

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 755:

Narrated 'Urwa from 'Aisha:

The wives of Allah's Apostle were in two groups. One group
consisted
of 'Aisha, Hafsa, Safiyya and Sauda; and the other group consisted
of
Um Salama and the other wives of Allah's Apostle. The Muslims knew
that Allah's Apostle loved 'Aisha, so if any of them had a gift and

wished to give to Allah's Apostle, he would delay it, till Allah's
Apostle had come to 'Aisha's home and then he would send his gift
to
Allah's Apostle in her home. The group of Um Salama discussed the
matter together and decided that Um Salama should request Allah's
Apostle to tell the people to send their gifts to him in whatever
wife's house he was. Um Salama told Allah's Apostle of what they
had
said, but he did not reply. Then they (those wives) asked Um Salama

about it. She said, "He did not say anything to me." They asked her
to
talk to him again. She talked to him again when she met him on her
day, but he gave no reply. When they asked her, she replied that he

had given no reply. They said to her, "Talk to him till he gives
you a
reply." When it was her turn, she talked to him again. He then said
to
her, "Do not hurt me regarding Aisha, as the Divine Inspirations do

not come to me on any of the beds except that of Aisha." On that Um

Salama said, "I repent to Allah for hurting you." Then the group of
Um
Salama called Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle and sent her
to
Allah's Apostle to say to him, "Your wives request to treat them
and
the daughter of Abu Bakr on equal terms." Then Fatima conveyed the
message to him. The Prophet said, "O my daughter! Don't you love
whom
I love?" She replied in the affirmative and returned and told them
of
the situation. They requested her to go to him again but she
refused.
They then sent Zainab bint Jahsh who went to him and used harsh
words
saying, "Your wives request you to treat them and the daughter of
Ibn
Abu Quhafa on equal terms." On that she raised her voice and abused

'Aisha to her face so much so that Allah's Apostle looked at 'Aisha
to
see whether she would retort. 'Aisha started replying to Zainab
till
she silenced her. The Prophet then looked at 'Aisha and said, "She
is
really the daughter of Abu Bakr."

deserved, and said, "Then after: Your brethren have come to you
with
repentance and I see it logical to return to them their captives;
so
whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it,

and whoever of you like to stick to his share till we give him his
right from the very first Fai (war booty) (1) which Allah will
bestow
on us, then (he can do so)." The people replied, "We do that (to
return the captives) willingly as a favor for your sake."

father
went to Allah's Apostle and said, 'I have given a gift to my son
from
'Amra bint Rawaha, but she ordered me to make you as a witness to
it,
O Allah's Apostle!' Allah's Apostle asked, 'Have you given (the
like
of it) to everyone of your sons?' He replied in the negative.

My
father then returned and took back his gift."

ground. He was walking between Al-'Abbas and another man."

she
said, "Do you know, O Allah's Apostle, that I have manumitted my
slave-girl?" He said, "Have you really?" She replied in the
affirmative. He said, "You would have got more reward if you had
given
her (i.e. the slave-girl) to one of your maternal uncles."

onager
to Allah's Apostle while he was at a place called Al-Abwa' or
Waddan,
and was in a state of Ihram. The Prophet did not accept it. When
the

present, but we are in the state of Ihram." (See Hadith No. 747)

'Utbiyya for collecting the Zakat. When he returned he said, "This
(i.e. the Zakat) is for you and this has been given to my as a
present." The Prophet said, "Why hadn't he stayed in his father's
or
mother's house to see whether he would be given presents or not? By

Him in Whose Hands my life is, whoever takes something from the
resources of the Zakat (unlawfully) will be carrying it on his neck
on
the Day of Resurrection; if it be a camel, it will be grunting; if a

cow, it will be mooing; and if a sheep, it will be bleating." The
Prophet then raised his hands till we saw the whiteness of his
armpits, and he said thrice, "O Allah! Haven't I conveyed Your
Message
(to them)?"

you manumit a slave?" He replied in the negative. He then asked
him,
"Can you fast for two successive months continuously" He replied in

the negative. The Prophet then asked him, "Can you feed sixty poor
persons?" He replied in the negative. In the meantime an Ansari
came
with a basket full of dates. The Prophet said to the man, "Take it
and
give it in charity (as an expiation of your sin)." The man said
"Should I give it to some people who are poorer than we O Allah's
Apostle? By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, there is no family

between Medina's two mountains poorer than we." Allah's Apostle
told
him to take it and provide his family with it."

the
fruits of my garden and excuse my father, but they refused. So,
Allah's Apostle did not give them the fruits, nor did he cut them
and
distribute them among them, but said, "I will come to you tomorrow
morning." So, he came to us the next morning and walked about in
between the date-palms and invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I
plucked the fruits and gave back all the rights of the creditors in

full, and a lot of fruits were left for us. Then I went to Allah's
Apostle, who was sitting, and informed him about what happened.

hand.

Prophet said to them, "Leave him, as the creditor has the right to
speak harshly." He then added, "Buy (a camel) of the same age and
give
it to him." They said, "We cannot get except a camel of an older
age

them, "This concerns also other people along with me as you see,
and
the best statement to me is the true one, so you may choose one of
two
alternatives; either the captives or the property and (I have not
distributed the booty for) I have been waiting for you."

When the Prophet had returned from Ta'if, he waited for them for
more
than ten nights. When they came to know that the Prophet would not
return except one of the two, they chose their captives. The
Prophet
then stood up amongst the Muslims, Glorified and Praised Allah as
He
deserved, and then said, "Then after: These brothers of yours have
come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return their
captives, so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then
he
can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to his share till we
pay
him from the very first Fai (i.e. war booty) which Allah will give
us,
then he can do so." The people said, "We return (the captives) to
them
willingly as a favor, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "I do
not
know who of you has given his consent and who has not; so go back
and
your leaders may present your decision to me." The people went
away,
and their leaders discussed the matter with them, and then came to
the
Prophet to tell him that all of them had given their consent (to
return the captives) willingly. (Az-Zuhn, the sub-narrator said,
"This
is what we know about the captives, of Hawazin.")

and
said, "O 'Abdullah! It is for you, and you can do with it what you

Apostle said, "This is worn by the one who will have no share in
the
Hereafter." Later on some silk dresses were brought and Allah's
Apostle sent one of them to 'Umar. 'Umar said, "How do you give me
this to wear while you said what you said about the dress of

came
driving sheep. The Prophet asked him, "Will you sell us (a sheep)
or
give it as a present?" He said, "I will sell you (a sheep)." The
Prophet bought a sheep and it was slaughtered. The Prophet ordered
that its liver and other abdominal organs be roasted. By Allah, the

Prophet gave every person of the one-hundred-and-thirty a piece of
that; he gave all those of them who were present; and kept the
shares
of those who were absent.The Prophet then put its meat in two huge
basins and all of them ate to their fill, and even then more food
was
left in the two basins which were carried on the camel (or said

similar to that one, and he sent one to 'Umar. 'Umar said to the
Prophet "How can I wear it, while you said about it what you said?"

The Prophet said, "I have not given it to you to wear, but to sell

back what he has given in charity, is like a dog that swallows back

its vomit."

yearly
yield and work on the land and provide the necessaries for
cultivation." His (i.e. Anas's mother who was also the mother of
'Abdullah bin Abu Talha, gave some date-palms to Allah' Apostle who

gave them to his freed slave-girl (Um Aiman) who was also the
mother
of Usama bin Zaid. When the Prophet finished from the fighting
against
the people of Khaibar and returned to Medina, the emigrants
returned
to the Ansar the fruit gifts which the Ansar had given them. The
Prophet also returned to Anas's mother the date-pallms. Allah's

gift.

best of them is the Maniha of a she-goat, and anyone who does one
of
these virtuous deeds hoping for Allah's reward with firm confidence

that he will get it, then Allah will make him enter Paradise
because
of Hassan (a sub-narrator) said, "We tried to count those good
deeds
below the Maniha; we mentioned replying to the sneezer, removing
harmful things from the road, etc., but we failed to count even
fifteen."

Volume 3, Book 47, Number 801:

Some men had superfluous land and they said that they would give it
to
others to cultivate on the condition that they would get one-third

land should cultivate it himself or give it to his brother or keep
it
uncultivated."

Narrated Abu Said: A bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him
about
emigration. The Prophet said to him, "May Allah be merciful to you.

The matter of emigration is difficult. Have you got some camels?"
He
replied in the affirmative. The Prophet asked him, "Do you pay
their
Zakat?" He replied in the affirmative. He asked, "Do you lend them
so
that their milk may be utilized by others?" The bedouin said,
"Yes."

been
better (for the owner) if he had given it to him gratis rather than

charging him a fixed rent.

service?"

charity."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 805:

Narrated Urwa bin Al-Musayyab, Alqama bin Waqqas and Ubaidullah bin

Abdullah:

About the story of 'Aisha and their narrations were similar
attesting
each other, when the liars said what they invented about 'Aisha,
and
the Divine Inspiration was delayed, Allah's Apostle sent for 'Ali
and
Usama to consult them in divorcing his wife (i.e. 'Aisha). Usama
said,
"Keep your wife, as we know nothing about her except good." Buraira

said, "I cannot accuse her of any defect except that she is still a

young girl who sleeps, neglecting her family's dough which the
domestic goats come to eat (i.e. she was too simpleminded to
deceive
her husband)." Allah's Apostle said, "Who can help me to take
revenge
over the man who has harmed me by defaming the reputation of my
family? By Allah, I have not known about my family-anything except
good, and they mentioned (i.e. accused) a man about whom I did not
know anything except good."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 806:

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:

Allah's Apostle and Ubai bin Kab Al-Ansari went to the garden where

Ibn Saiyad used to live. When Allah's Apostle entered (the garden),
he
(i.e. Allah's Apostle ) started hiding himself behind the datepalms
as
he wanted to hear secretly the talk of Ibn Saiyad before the latter

saw him. Ibn Saiyad wrapped with a soft decorated sheet was lying
on
his bed murmuring. Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the Prophet hiding
behind
the stems of the date-palms. She addressed Ibn Saiyad saying, "O
Saf,
this is Muhammad." Hearing that Ibn Saiyad stopped murmuring (or
got
cautious), the Prophet said, "If she had left him undisturbed, he
would have revealed his reality." (See Hadith No. 290, Vol 4 for
details)

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 807:

Narrated Aisha:

The wife of Rifa'a Al-Qurazi came to the Prophet and said, "I was
Rifa'a's wife, but he divorced me and it was a final irrevocable
divorce. Then I married AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair but he is
impotent."
The Prophet asked her 'Do you want to remarry Rifa'a? You cannot
unless you had a complete sexual relation with your present
husband."
Abu Bakr was sitting with Allah's Apostle and Khalid bin Said bin
Al-'As was at the door waiting to be admitted. He said, "O Abu
Bakr!
Do you hear what this (woman) is revealing frankly before the
Prophet
?"

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 808:

Narrated Abdullah bin Abu Mulaika from 'Uqba bin Al-Harith:

Uqba married the daughter of Abu Ihab bin Aziz, and then a woman
came
and said, "I suckled 'Uqba and his wife." 'Uqba said to her, "I do
not
know that you have suckled me, and you did not inform me." He then
sent someone to the house of Abu Ihab to enquire about that but
they
did not know that she had suckled their daughter. Then 'Uqba went
to
the Prophet in Medina and asked him about it. The Prophet said to
him,
"How (can you keep your wife) after it has been said (that both of
you
were suckled by the same woman)?" So, he divorced her and she was
married to another (husband).

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 809:

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine
Inspiration during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle but now there is
no
longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you

practice publicly, so we will trust and favor the one who does good

deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about
what
he is really doing in secret, for Allah will judge him for that;
but
we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an
evil
deed even if he claims that his intentions were good.

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 810:

Narrated Anas:

A funeral procession passed in front of the Prophet and the people
praised the deceased. The Prophet said, "It has been affirmed
(Paradise)." Then another funeral procession passed by and the
people
talked badly of the deceased. The Prophet said, "It has been
affirmed
(Hell)." Allah's Apostle was asked, "O Allah's Apostle! You said it

has been affirmed for both?" The Prophet said, "The testimony of
the
people (is accepted), (for) the believer are Allah's witnesses on
the
earth."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 811:

"It
has been affirmed" (Paradise). Then another funeral procession
passed
by. The people praised the deceased. 'Umar said, "It has been
affirmed." (Paradise). Then another funeral procession passed by.
The
people praised the deceased. 'Umar said, "It has been affirmed
(Paradise)." Then a third funeral procession passed by and the
people
talked badly of the deceased. 'Umar said, "It has been affirmed
(Hell)." I asked Umar, "O chief of the believers! What has been
affirmed?" He said, "I have said what the Prophet said. He said,
'Allah will admit into paradise any Muslim whose good character is
attested by four persons.' We asked the Prophet, 'If there were
three
witnesses only?' He said, 'Even three.' We asked, 'If there were
two
only?' He said, 'Even two.' But we did not ask him about one
witness."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 812:

Narrated Aisha:

Aflah asked the permission to visit me but I did not allow him. He
said, "Do you veil yourself before me although I am your uncle?"

brother's wife with my brother's milk." I asked Allah's Apostle
about
it, and he said, "Allah is right, so permit him to visit you."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 813:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

The Prophet said about Hamza's daughter, "I am not legally

the Prophet was in her house, she heard a man asking Hafsa's
permission to enter her house. 'Aisha said, "I said, 'O Allah's
Apostle! I think the man is Hafsa's foster uncle.' " 'Aisha added,
"O
Allah's Apostle! There is a man asking the permission to enter your

house." Allah's Apostle replied, "I think the man is Hafsa's foster

uncle." 'Aisha said, "If so-and-so were living (i.e. her foster
uncle)
would he be allowed to visit me?" Allah's Apostle said, "Yes, he
would, as the foster relations are treated like blood relations (in

marital affairs)."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 815:

Narrated Aisha:

Once the Prophet came to me while a man was in my house. He said,
"O
'Aisha! Who is this (man)?" I replied, "My foster brothers" He
said,
"O 'Aisha! Be sure about your foster brothers, as fostership is
only
valid if it takes place in the suckling period (before two years of

age)."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 816:

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair:

A woman committed theft in the Ghazwa of the Conquest (of Mecca)

she was taken to the Prophet who ordered her hand to be cut off.

to
Allah's Apostle."

being
a young boy, my father held me by the hand and took me to the
Prophet
. He said to the Prophet, "His mother, bint Rawaha, requested me to

give this boy a gift." The Prophet said, "Do you have other sons
besides him?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Do not make me a
witness for injustice." Narrated Ash-Shabi that the Prophet said,
"I
will not become a witness for injustice."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 819:

Narrated Zahdam bin Mudrab:

I heard Imran bin Husain saying, "The Prophet said, 'The best
people
are those living in my generation, then those coming after them,
and
then those coming after (the second generation)." Imran said "I do
not
know whether the Prophet mentioned two or three generations after
your
present generation. The Prophet added, 'There will be some people
after you, who will be dishonest and will not be trustworthy and
will
give witness (evidences) without being asked to give witness, and
will
vow but will not fulfill their vows, and fatness will appear among
them."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 820:

Narrated Abdullah:

The Prophet said, "The people of my generation are the best, then
those who follow them, and then whose who follow the latter. After
that there will come some people whose witness will go ahead of
their
oaths, and their oaths will go ahead of their witness." Ibrahim (a
sub-narrator) said, "We used to be beaten for taking oaths by
saying,
'I bear witness by the Name of Allah or by the Covenant of Allah."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 821:

Narrated Anas:

commit the crime of murdering).

(4) And to give a false witness."

The Prophet said thrice, "Should I inform you out the greatest of
the
great sins?" They said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "To join

others in worship with Allah and to be undutiful to one's parents."

The Prophet then sat up after he had been reclining (on a pillow)
and
said, "And I warn you against giving a false witness, and he kept
on
saying that warning till we thought he would not stop. (See
Hadith No. 7, Vol. 8)

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 823:

Narrated 'Aisha:

The Prophet heard a man (reciting Quran) in the Mosque, and he
said,
"May Allah bestow His Mercy upon him. No doubt, he made me remember

such-and such Verses of such-and-such Sura which I dropped (from my

memory).

Narrated Aisha: The Prophet performed the Tahajjud prayer in my
house,
and then he heard the voice of 'Abbas who was praying in the
Mosque,
and said, "O 'Aisha! Is this 'Abbad's voice?" I said, "Yes." He
said,
"O Allah! Be merciful to 'Abbas!"

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 824:

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:

The Prophet said, "Bilal pronounces the Adhan when it is still
night
(before dawn), so eat and drink till the next Adhan is pronounced
(or
till you hear Ibn Um Maktum's Adhan)." Ibn Um Maktum was a blind
man
who would not pronounce the Adhan till he was told that it was
dawn.

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 825:

Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:

Some outer garments were received the Prophet and my father
(Makhrama)
said to me, "Let us go to the Prophet so that he may give us
something
from the garments." So, my father stood at the door and spoke. The
Prophet recognized his voice and came out carrying a garment and
telling Makhrama the good qualities of that garment, adding, "I
have
kept this for you, I have sent this for you."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 826:

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of
that
of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the
deficiency of a woman's mind."

Narrated Uqba bin Al-Harith:

That he had married Um Yahya bint Abu Ihab. He said. "A black
slave-lady came and said, 'I suckled you both.' I then mentioned
that
to the Prophet who turned his face aside." Uqba further said, "I
went
to the other side and told the Prophet about it. He said, 'How can
you
(keep her as your wife) when the lady has said that she suckled
both
of you (i.e. you and your wife?)" So, the Prophet ordered him to
divorce her.

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 828:

Narrated 'Uqba bin Al-Harith:

I married a woman and later on a woman came and said, "I suckled
you
both." So, I went to the Prophet (to ask him about it). He said,
"How
can you (keep her as a wife) when it has been said (that you were
foster brother and sister)? Leave (divorce) her.

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 829:

Narrated Aisha:

(the wife of the Prophet) "Whenever Allah's Apostle intended to go
on
a journey, he would draw lots amongst his wives and would take with

him the one upon whom the lot fell. During a Ghazwa of his, he drew

lots amongst us and the lot fell upon me, and I proceeded with him
after Allah had decreed the use of the veil by women. I was carried
in
a Howdah (on the camel) and dismounted while still in it. When
Allah's
Apostle was through with his Ghazwa and returned home, and we
approached the city of Medina, Allah's Apostle ordered us to
proceed
at night. When the order of setting off was given, I walked till I
was
past the army to answer the call of nature. After finishing I
returned
(to the camp) to depart (with the others) and suddenly realized
that
my necklace over my chest was missing. So, I returned to look for
it
and was delayed because of that. The people who used to carry me on

the camel, came to my Howdah and put it on the back of the camel,
thinking that I was in it, as, at that time, women were light in
weight, and thin and lean, and did not use to eat much. So, those
people did not feel the difference in the heaviness of the Howdah
while lifting it, and they put it over the camel. At that time I
was a
young lady. They set the camel moving and proceeded on. I found my
necklace after the army had gone, and came to their camp to find
nobody. So, I went to the place where I used to stay, thinking that

they would discover my absence and come back in my search. While in

that state, I felt sleepy and slept.

Safwan bin Mu'attal As-Sulami Adh-Dhakwani was behind the army and
reached my abode in the morning. When he saw a sleeping person, he
came to me, and he used to see me before veiling. So, I got up when
I
heard him saying, "Inna lil-lah-wa inn a ilaihi rajiun (We are for
Allah, and we will return to Him)." He made his camel knell down.
He
got down from his camel, and put his leg on the front legs of the
camel and then I rode and sat over it. Safwan set out walking,
leading
the camel by the rope till we reached the army who had halted to
take
rest at midday. Then whoever was meant for destruction, fell into
destruction, (some people accused me falsely) and the leader of the

false accusers was 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. After that we
returned to Medina, and I became ill for one month while the people

were spreading the forged statements of the false accusers. I was
feeling during my ailment as if I were not receiving the usual
kindness from the Prophet which I used to receive from him when I
got
sick. But he would come, greet and say, 'How is that (girl)?' I did

not know anything of what was going on till I recovered from my
ailment and went out with Um Mistah to the Manasi where we used to
answer the call of nature, and we used not to go to answer the call
of
nature except from night to night and that was before we had
lavatories near to our houses. And this habit of ours was similar
to
the habit of the old 'Arabs in the open country (or away from
houses).
So. I and Um Mistah bint Ruhm went out walking. Um Mistah stumbled
because of her long dress and on that she said, 'Let Mistah be
ruined.' I said, 'You are saying a bad word. Why are you abusing a
man
who took part in (the battle of) Badr?' She said, 'O Hanata (you
there) didn't you hear what they said?' Then she told me the rumors
of
the false accusers.

My sickness was aggravated, and when I returned home, Allah's
Apostle
came to me, and after greeting he said, 'How is that (girl)?' I
requested him to allow me to go to my parents. I wanted then to be
sure of the news through them I Allah's Apostle allowed me, and I
went
to my parents and asked my mother, 'What are the people talking
about?' She said, 'O my daughter! Don't worry much about this
matter.
By Allah, never is there a charming woman loved by her husband who
has
other wives, but the women would forge false news about her.' I
said,
'Glorified be Allah! Are the people really taking of this matter?'
That night I kept on weeping and could not sleep till morning. In
the
morning Allah's Apostle called Ali bin Abu Talib and Usama bin Zaid

when he saw the Divine Inspiration delayed, to consul them about
divorcing his wife (i.e. 'Aisha). Usama bin Zaid said what he knew
of
the good reputation of his wives and added, 'O Allah's Apostle!
Keep
you wife, for, by Allah, we know nothing about her but good.' 'Ali
bin
Abu Talib said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Allah has no imposed
restrictions
on you, and there are many women other than she, yet you may ask
the
woman-servant who will tell you the truth.' On that Allah's Apostle

called Buraira and said, 'O Burair. Did you ever see anything which

roused your suspicions about her?' Buraira said, 'No, by Allah Who
has
sent you with the Truth, I have never seen in her anything faulty
except that she is a girl of immature age, who sometimes sleeps and

leaves the dough for the goats to eat.' On that day Allah's Apostle

ascended the pulpit and requested that somebody support him in
punishing 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. Allah's Apostle said, 'Who
will support me to punish that person ('Abdullah bin Ubai bin
Salul)
who has hurt me by slandering the reputation of my family? By
Allah, I
know nothing about my family but good, and they have accused a
person
about whom I know nothing except good, and he never entered my
house
except in my company.'

Sad bin Mu'adh got up and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! by Allah, I
will
relieve you from him. If that man is from the tribe of the Aus,
then
we will chop his head off, and if he is from our brothers, the
Khazraj, then order us, and we will fulfill your order.' On that
Sad
bin 'Ubada, the chief of the Khazraj and before this incident, he
had
been a pious man, got up, motivated by his zeal for his tribe and
said, 'By Allah, you have told a lie; you cannot kill him, and you
will never be able to kill him.' On that Usaid bin Al-Hadir got up
and
said (to Sad bin 'Ubada), 'By Allah! you are a liar. By Allah, we
will
kill him; and you are a hypocrite, defending the hypocrites.' On
this
the two tribes of Aus and Khazraj got excited and were about to
fight
each other, while Allah's Apostle was standing on the pulpit. He
got
down and quietened them till they became silent and he kept quiet.
On
that day I kept on weeping so much so that neither did my tears
stop,
nor could I sleep.

In the morning my parents were with me and I had wept for two
nights
and a day, till I thought my liver would burst from weeping. While
they were sitting with me and I was weeping, an Ansari woman asked
my
permission to enter, and I allowed her to come in. She sat down and

started weeping with me. While we were in this state, Allah's
Apostle
came and sat down and he had never sat with me since the day they
forged the accusation. No revelation regarding my case came to him
for
a month. He recited Tashah-hud (i.e. None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is His Apostle) and then said, 'O

'Aisha! I have been informed such-and-such about you; if you are
innocent, then Allah will soon reveal your innocence, and if you
have
committed a sin, then repent to Allah and ask Him to forgive you,
for
when a person confesses his sin and asks Allah for forgiveness,
Allah
accepts his repentance.' When Allah's Apostle finished his speech
my
tears ceased completely and there remained not even a single drop
of
it. I requested my father to reply to Allah's Apostle on my behalf.
My
father said, By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's
Apostle.'
I said to my mother, 'Talk to Allah's Apostle on my behalf.' She
said,
'By Allah, I do not know what to say to Allah's Apostle.

I was a young girl and did not have much knowledge of the Quran. I
said. 'I know, by Allah, that you have listened to what people are
saying and that has been planted in your minds and you have taken
it
as a truth. Now, if I told you that I am innocent and Allah knows
that
I am innocent, you would not believe me and if I confessed to you
falsely that I am guilty, and Allah knows that I am innocent you
would
believe me. By Allah, I don't compare my situation with you except
to
the situation of Joseph's father (i.e. Jacob) who said, 'So (for
me)
patience is most fitting against that which you assert and it is
Allah
(Alone) whose help can be sought.' Then I turned to the other side
of
my bed hoping that Allah would prove my innocence. By Allah I never

thought that Allah would reveal Divine Inspiration in my case, as I

considered myself too inferior to be talked of in the Holy Qur'an. I

had hoped that Allah's Apostle might have a dream in which Allah
would
prove my innocence. By Allah, Allah's Apostle had not got up and
nobody had left the house before the Divine Inspiration came to
Allah's Apostle. So, there overtook him the same state which used
to
overtake him, (when he used to have, on being inspired divinely).
He
was sweating so much so that the drops of the sweat were dropping
like
pearls though it was a (cold) wintry day. When that state of
Allah's
Apostle was over, he was smiling and the first word he said,
'Aisha!
Thank Allah, for Allah has declared your innocence.' My mother told
me
to go to Allah's Apostle . I replied, 'By Allah I will not go to
him
and will not thank but Allah.' So Allah revealed: "Verily! They who

spread the slander are a gang among you . . ." (24.11)

When Allah gave the declaration of my Innocence, Abu Bakr, who used
to
provide for Mistah bin Uthatha for he was his relative, said, 'By
Allah, I will never provide Mistah with anything because of what he

said about Aisha.' But Allah later revealed: --

"And let not those who are good and wealthy among you swear not to
help their kinsmen, those in need and those who left their homes in

Allah's Cause. Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that
Allah should forgive you? Verily! Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most
Merciful." (24.22) After that Abu Bakr said, 'Yes ! By Allah! I
like
that Allah should forgive me,' and resumed helping Mistah whom he
used
to help before.

Allah's Apostle also asked Zainab bint Jahsh (i.e. the Prophet's
wife
about me saying, 'What do you know and what did you see?' She
replied,
'O Allah's Apostle! I refrain to claim hearing or seeing what I
have
not heard or seen. By Allah, I know nothing except goodness about
Aisha." Aisha further added "Zainab was competing with me (in her
beauty and the Prophet's love), yet Allah protected her (from being

malicious), for she had piety."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 830:

Narrated Abu Bakra:

A man praised another man in front of the Prophet . The Prophet
said
to him, "Woe to you, you have cut off your companion's neck, you
have
cut off your companion's neck," repeating it several times and then

added, "Whoever amongst you has to praise his brother should say,
'I
think that he is so and so, and Allah knows exactly the truth, and I

do not confirm anybody's good conduct before Allah, but I think him
so
and so,' if he really knows what he says about him."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 831:

and he did not allow me to take part in that battle, but he called
me
in front of him on the eve of the battle of the Trench when I was
fifteen years old, and he allowed me (to join the battle)." Nafi'
said, "I went to 'Umar bin 'Abdul Aziz who was Caliph at that time

the limit between childhood and manhood," and wrote to his
governors
to give salaries to those who reached the age of fifteen.

get
the property of a Muslim (unjustly) by that oath, then Allah will
be
angry with him when he will meet Him." Al-Ash'ath informed me, "By
Allah! This was said regarding me. There was a dispute about a
piece
of land between me and a man from the Jews who denied my right. I
took
him to the Prophet. Allah's Apostle asked me, 'Do you have an
evidence?' I replied in the negative. He said to the Jew, 'Take an
oath.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! He will surely take an oath and
take my property unjustly." So, Allah revealed: "Verily! Those who
purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their
oaths
. . . " (3.77)

"Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's
covenant and their oaths . . . they will have a painful
punishment."
(3.77)

Al-Ash'ath bin Qais came to us and asked, 'What is Abu Abdur-Rahman

(i.e. 'Abdullah) telling you? 'We told him what he was narrating to

us. He said, 'He was telling the truth; this Divine Verse was
revealed
in connection with me. There was a dispute between me and another
man
about something and the case was filed before Allah's Apostle who
said, 'Produce your two witnesses or else the defendant is to take
an
oath.' I said, The defendant will surely take a (false) oath caring

for nothing.' The Prophet said, 'Whoever takes a false oath in
order
to grab (other's) property, then Allah will be angry with him when
he
will meet Him.' Then Allah revealed its confirmation. Al-Ashath
then
recited the above Divine Verse." (3.77)

illegal sexual intercourse with Sharik bin Sahma.' The Prophet
said,
"Produce a proof, or else you would get the legal punishment (by
being
lashed) on your back." Hilal said, "O Allah's Apostle! If anyone of
us
saw another man over his wife, would he go to search for a proof."
The
Prophet went on saying, "Produce a proof or else you would get the
legal punishment (by being lashed) on your back." The Prophet then
mentioned the narration of Lian (as in the Holy Book).

(1) A man possessed superfluous water on a way and he withheld it
from
the travelers.

(2) a man who gives a pledge of allegiance to a Muslim ruler and
gives
it only for worldly gains. If the ruler gives him what he wants, he

remains obedient to It, otherwise he does not abide by it, and

(3) a man bargains with another man after the Asr prayer and the
latter takes a false oath in the Name of Allah) claiming that he
has

for
me?" Allah's Apostle said, "No, unless you like to offer Nawafil
(i.e.
optional prayers)." Allah's Apostle then added, "You have to
observe
fasts during the month of Ramadan." The man said, "Am I to fast any

other days?' Allah's Apostle said, "No, unless you wish to observe
the
optional fast voluntarily." Then Allah's Apostle told him about the

compulsory Zakat. The man asked, "Do I have to give anything
besides?"
Allah's Apostle said, "No, unless you wish to give in charity

Scriptures, though your Book (i.e. the Quran) which was revealed to

His Prophet is the most recent information from Allah and you
recite
it, the Book that has not been distorted? Allah has revealed to you

that the people of the scriptures have changed with their own hands

what was revealed to them and they have said (as regards their
changed
Scriptures): This is from Allah, in order to get some worldly
benefit
thereby." Ibn Abbas added: "Isn't the knowledge revealed to you
sufficient to prevent you from asking them? By Allah I have never
seen
any one of them asking (Muslims) about what has been revealed to
you."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 851:

Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:

The Prophet said, "The example of the person abiding by Allah's
orders
and limits (or the one who abides by the limits and regulations
prescribed by Allah) in comparison to the one who do wrong and
violate
Allah's limits and orders is like the example of people drawing
lots
for seats in a boat. Some of them got seats in the upper part while

the others in the lower part ; those in the, lower part have to
pass
by those in the upper one to get water, and that troubled the
latter.
One of them (i.e. the people in the lower part) took an axe and
started making a hole in the bottom of the boat. The people of the
upper part came and asked him, (saying), 'What is wrong with you?'
He
replied, "You have been troubled much by my (coming up to you), and
I
have to get water.' Now if they prevent him from doing that they
will
save him and themselves, but if they leave him (to do what he
wants),
they will destroy him and themselves."

Narrated Um Al-Ala:

That when the Ansar drew lots as to which of the emigrants should
dwell with which of the Ansar, the name of Uthman bin Mazun came
out
(to be in their lot). Um Al-Ala further said, "Uthman stayed with
us,
and we nursed him when he got sick, but he died. We shrouded him in

his clothes, and Allah's Apostle came to our house and I said,
(addressing the dead 'Uthman), 'O Abu As-Sa'ib! May Allah be
merciful
to you. I testify that Allah has blessed you.' The Prophet said to
me,
"How do you know that Allah has blessed him?" I replied, 'I do not
know O Allah's Apostle! May my parents be sacrificed for you.'
Allah's
Apostle said, 'As regards Uthman, by Allah he has died and I really

wish him every good, yet, by Allah, although I am Allah's Apostle, I

do not know what will be done to him.' Um Al-Ala added, 'By Allah I

shall never attest the piety of anybody after him. And what Allah's

Apostles said made me sad." Um Al-Ala further said, "Once I slept
and
saw in a dream, a flowing stream for Uthman. So I went to Allah's
Apostle and told him about it, he said, 'That is (the symbol of)
his
deeds."

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 853:

Narrated Aisha:

Whenever Allah's Apostle intended to go on a journey, he used to
draw
lots among his wives and would take with him the one on whom the
lot
fell. He also used to fix for everyone of his wives a day and a
night,
but Sauda bint Zam'a gave her day and night to 'Aisha, the wife of
the
Prophet intending thereby to please Allah's Apostle.

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 854:




Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "If the people knew what is the reward of
making
the call (for the prayer) and (of being in) the first row (in the
prayer), and if they found no other way to get this privilege
except
by casting lots, they would certainly cast lots for it. If they
knew
the reward of the noon prayer, they would race for it, and if they
knew the reward of the morning (i.e. Fajr) and Isha prayers, they
would present themselves for the prayer even if they had to crawl
to
reach there.

Peacemaking










Volume 3, Book 49, Number 855:

Narrated Sahl bin Sad:

There was a dispute amongst the people of the tribe of Bani 'Amr
bin
'Auf. The Prophet went to them along with some of his companions in

order to make peace between them. The time for the prayer became
due
but the Prophet did not turn up; Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e.
call) for the prayer but the Prophet did not turn up, so Bilal went
to
Abu Bakr and said, "The time for the prayer is due and the Prophet i

detained, would you lead the people in the prayer?" Abu Bakr
replied,
"Yes, you wish." So, Bilal pronounced the Iqama of the prayer and
Abu
Bakr went ahead (to lead the prayer), but the Prophet came walking
among the rows till he joined the first row. The people started
clapping and they clapped too much, and Abu Bakr used not to look
hither and thither in the prayer, but he turned round and saw the
Prophet standing behind him. The Prophet beckoned him with his hand
to
keep on praying where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hand and praised
Allah and then retreated till he came in the (first) row, and the
Prophet went ahead and lead the people in the prayer. When the
Prophet
finished the prayer, he turned towards the people and said, "O
people!
When something happens to you during the prayer, you start
clapping.
Really clapping is (permissible) for women only. If something
happens
to one of you in his prayer, he should say: 'Subhan Allah',
(Glorified
be Allah), for whoever hears him (saying so) will direct his
attention
towards him. O Abu Bakr! What prevented you from leading the people
in
the prayer when I beckoned to you (to continue)?" Abu Bakr replied,

"It did not befit the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front
of
the Prophet.

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 856:

Narrated Anas:

It was said to the Prophet "Would that you see Abdullah bin Ubai."
So,
the Prophet went to him, riding a donkey, and the Muslims
accompanied
him, walking on salty barren land. When the Prophet reached
'Abdullah
bin Ubai, the latter said, "Keep away from me! By Allah, the bad
smell
of your donkey has harmed me." On that an Ansari man said (to
'Abdullah), "By Allah! The smell of the donkey of Allah's Apostle
is
better than your smell." On that a man from 'Abdullah's tribe got
angry for 'Abdullah's sake, and the two men abused each other which

caused the friends of the two men to get angry, and the two groups
started fighting with sticks, shoes and hands. We were informed
that
the following Divine Verse was revealed (in this concern):-- "And
if
two groups of Believers fall to fighting then, make peace between
them." (49.9)

(4.128)
"There is no blame on them if they reconcile on such basis."

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 860:

Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:

A bedouin came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Judge between us
according to Allah's Laws." His opponent got up and said, "He is
right. Judge between us according to Allah's Laws." The bedouin
said,
"My son was a laborer working for this man, and he committed
illegal
sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me that my son
should be stoned to death; so, in lieu of that, I paid a ransom of
one
hundred sheep and a slave girl to save my son. Then I asked the
learned scholars who said, "Your son has to be lashed one-hundred
lashes and has to be exiled for one year." The Prophet said, "No
doubt
I will judge between you according to Allah's Laws. The slave-girl
and
the sheep are to go back to you, and your son will get a hundred
lashes and one year exile." He then addressed somebody, "O Unais!
go
to the wife of this (man) and stone her to death" So, Unais went
and
stoned her to death.

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 862:

Narrated Al-Bara bin 'Azib:

When Allah's Apostle concluded a peace treaty with the people of
Hudaibiya, Ali bin Abu Talib wrote the document and he mentioned in

it, "Muhammad, Allah's Apostle ." The pagans said, "Don't write:
'Muhammad, Allah's Apostle', for if you were an apostle we would
not
fight with you." Allah's Apostle asked Ali to rub it out, but Ali
said, "I will not be the person to rub it out." Allah's Apostle
rubbed
it out and made peace with them on the condition that the Prophet
and
his companions would enter Mecca and stay there for three days, and

that they would enter with their weapons in cases.

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 863:

Narrated Al-Bara:

When the Prophet intended to perform 'Umra in the month of
Dhul-Qada,
the people of Mecca did not let him enter Mecca till he settled the

matter with them by promising to stay in it for three days only.
When
the document of treaty was written, the following was mentioned:
'These are the terms on which Muhammad, Allah's Apostle agreed (to
make peace).' They said, "We will not agree to this, for if we
believed that you are Allah's Apostle we would not prevent you, but

you are Muhammad bin 'Abdullah." The Prophet said, "I am Allah's
Apostle and also Muhammad bin 'Abdullah." Then he said to 'Ali,
"Rub
off (the words) 'Allah's Apostle' ", but 'Ali said, "No, by Allah, I

will never rub off your name." So, Allah's Apostle took the
document
and wrote, 'This is what Muhammad bin 'Abdullah has agreed upon: No

arms will be brought into Mecca except in their cases, and nobody
from
the people of Mecca will be allowed to go with him (i.e. the
Prophet )
even if he wished to follow him and he (the Prophet ) will not
prevent
any of his companions from staying in Mecca if the latter wants to
stay.' When the Prophet entered Mecca and the time limit passed,
the
Meccans went to 'Ali and said, "Tell your Friend (i.e. the Prophet )

to go out, as the period (agreed to) has passed." So, the Prophet
went
out of Mecca. The daughter of Hamza ran after them (i.e. the
Prophet
and his companions), calling, "O Uncle! O Uncle!" 'Ali received her

and led her by the hand and said to Fatima, "Take your uncle's
daughter." Zaid and Ja'far quarrel ed about her. 'Ali said, "I have

more right to her as she is my uncle's daughter." Ja'far said, "She
is
my uncle's daughter, and her aunt is my wife." Zaid said, "She is
my
brother's daughter." The Prophet judged that she should be given to

her aunt, and said that the aunt was like the mother. He then said
to
'All, "You are from me and I am from you", and said to Ja'far, "You

resemble me both in character and appearance", and said to Zaid,
"You
are our brother (in faith) and our freed slave."

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 864:

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:

Allah's Apostle set out for the 'Umra but the pagans of Quraish
prevented him from reaching the Ka'ba. So, he slaughtered his
sacrifice and got his head shaved at Al-Hudaibiya, and agreed with
them that he would perform 'Umra the following year and would not
carry weapons except swords and would not stay in Mecca except for
the
period they al lowed. So, the Prophet performed the 'Umra in the
following year and entered Mecca according to the treaty, and when
he
stayed for three days, the pagans ordered him to depart, and he
departed.

Ar-Rabi, the daughter of An-Nadr broke the tooth of a girl, and the

relatives of Ar-Rabi' requested the girl's relatives to accept the
Irsh (compensation for wounds etc.) and forgive (the offender), but

they refused. So, they went to the Prophet who ordered them to
bring
about retaliation. Anas bin An-Nadr asked, "O Allah"; Apostle! Will

the tooth of Ar-Rabi' be broken? No, by Him Who has sent you with
the
Truth, her tooth will not be broken." The Prophet said, "O Anas!
Allah"; law ordains retaliation." Later the relatives of the girl
agreed and forgave her. The Prophet said, "There are some of
Allah's
slaves who, if they take an oath by Allah, are responded to by
Allah
i.e. their oath is fulfilled). Anas added, "The people agreed and
accepted the Irsh."

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 867:

Narrated Al-Hasan Al-Basri:

By Allah, Al-Hasan bin Ali led large battalions like mountains
against
Muawiya. Amr bin Al-As said (to Muawiya), "I surely see battalions
which will not turn back before killing their opponents." Muawiya
who
was really the best of the two men said to him, "O 'Amr! If these
killed those and those killed these, who would be left with me for
the
jobs of the public, who would be left with me for their women, who
would be left with me for their children?" Then Muawiya sent two
Quraishi men from the tribe of 'Abd-i-Shams called 'Abdur Rahman
bin
Sumura and Abdullah bin 'Amir bin Kuraiz to Al-Hasan saying to
them,
"Go to this man (i.e. Al-Hasan) and negotiate peace with him and
talk
and appeal to him." So, they went to Al-Hasan and talked and
appealed
to him to accept peace. Al-Hasan said, "We, the offspring of 'Abdul

Muttalib, have got wealth and people have indulged in killing and
corruption (and money only will appease them)." They said to
Al-Hasan,
"Muawiya offers you so and so, and appeals to you and entreats you
to
accept peace." Al-Hasan said to them, "But who will be responsible
for
what you have said?" They said, "We will be responsible for it."
So,
what-ever Al-Hasan asked they said, "We will be responsible for it
for
you." So, Al-Hasan concluded a peace treaty with Muawiya. Al-Hasan
(Al-Basri) said: I heard Abu Bakr saying, "I saw Allah's Apostle on

the pulpit and Al-Hasan bin 'Ali was by his side. The Prophet was
looking once at the people and once at Al-Hasan bin 'Ali saying,
'This
son of mine is a Saiyid (i.e. a noble) and may Allah make peace
between two big groups of Muslims through him."

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 868:

Narrated Aisha:

Once Allah's Apostle heard the loud voices of some opponents
quarreling at the door. One of them was appealing to the other to
deduct his debt and asking him to be lenient but the other was
saying,
"By Allah I will not do so." Allah's Apostle went out to them and
said, "Who is the one who was swearing by Allah that he would not
do a
favor?" That man said, "I am that person, O Allah's Apostle! I will

give my opponent whatever he wishes."

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 869:

One
day the latter met the former and demanded his right, and their
voices
grew very loud. The Prophet passed by them and said, "O Ka'b,"
beckoning with his hand as if intending to say, "Deduct half the
debts." So, Kab took half what the other owed him and remitted the
other half.

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 870:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "There is a Sadaqa to be given for every
joint
of the human body; and for every day on which the sun rises there
is a
reward of a Sadaqa (i.e. charitable gift) for the one who
establishes
justice among people."

Narrated Urwa bin Az-Zubair:

Az-Zubair told me that he quarrelled with an Ansari man who had
participated in (the battle of) Badr in front of Allah's Apostle
about
a water stream which both of them used for irrigation. Allah's
Apostle
said to Az-Zubair, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your garden) first, and
then
let the water flow to your neighbor." The Ansari became angry and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is it because he is your cousin?" On that

the complexion of Allah's Apostle changed (because of anger) and
said
(to Az-Zubair), "I irrigate (your garden) and then with-hold the
water
till it reaches the walls (surrounding the palms)." So, Allah's
Apostle gave Az-Zubair his full right. Before that Allah's Apostle

had given a generous judgment beneficial for Az-Zubair and the
Ansari,
but when the Ansan irritated Allah's Apostle he gave Az-Zubair his
full right according to the evident law. Az-Zubair said, "By Allah !
I
think the following Verse was revealed concerning that case: "But
no
by your Lord They can have No faith Until they make you judge In
all
disputes between them." (4.65)

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 872:

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:

My father died and was in debt. I suggested that his creditors take

the fruits (i.e. dates) of my garden in lieu of the debt of my
father,
but they refused the offer, as they thought that it would not cover

the full debt. So, I went to the Prophet and told him about it. He
said (to me), "When you pluck the dates and collect them in the
Mirbad
(i.e. a place where dates are dried), call me (Allah's Apostle)."
Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr and 'Umar and sat on the
dates
and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he said, "Call your creditors

and give them their full rights." So, I paid all my father's
creditors
in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates remained, seven of
which
were 'Ajwa and six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven
were
Laun. I met Allah's Apostle at sunset and informed him about it. On

that he smiled and said, "Go to Abu Bakr and 'Umar and tell them
about
it." They said, "We perceived that was going to happen, as Allah's
Apostle did what he did."

Volume 3, Book 49, Number 873:




Narrated Abdullah bin Kab:

That Ka'b bin Malik told him that in the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle
he demanded his debt from Ibn Abu Hadrad in the Mosque. Their
voices
grew louder till Allah's Apostle heard them while he was in his
house.
So he lifted the curtain of his room and called Ka'b bin Malik
saying,
"O Ka'b!" He replied, "Labbaik! O Allah's Apostle!" He beckoned to
him
with his hand suggesting that he deduct half the debt. Ka'b said,
"I
agree, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle then said (to Ibn Abu
Hadrad), "Get up and pay him the rest."
