The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "This night I dreamt that two men came and took me to a Holy land whence we
proceeded on till we reached a river of blood, where a man was standing, and on its bank was standing
another man with stones in his hands. The man in the middle of the river tried to come out, but the
other threw a stone in his mouth and forced him to go back to his original place. So, whenever he tried
to come out, the other man would throw a stone in his mouth and force him to go back to his former
place. I asked, 'Who is this?' I was told, 'The person in the river was a Riba-eater."

My father bought a slave who practiced the profession of cupping. (My father broke the slave's
instruments of cupping). I asked my father why he had done so. He replied, "The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the
acceptance of the price of a dog or blood, and also forbade the profession of tattooing, getting tattooed
and receiving or giving Riba, (usury), and cursed the picture-makers."

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The swearing (by the seller) may persuade the buyer to purchase the

A man displayed some goods in the market and swore by Allah that he had been offered so much for
that, that which was not offered, and he said so, so as to cheat a Muslim. On that occasion the
following Verse was revealed: "Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's
covenant and their oaths (They shall have no portion in the Hereafter ..etc.)' (3.77)

I got an old she-camel as my share from the booty, and the Prophet (ﷺ) had given me another from Al-
Khumus. And when I intended to marry Fatima (daughter of the Prophet), I arranged that a goldsmith
from the tribe of Bani Qainuqa' would accompany me in order to bring Idhkhir and then sell it to the
goldsmiths and use its price for my marriage banquet.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah made Mecca a sanctuary and it was neither permitted for anyone before,
nor will it be permitted for anyone after me (to fight in it). And fighting in it was made legal for me
for a few hours of a day only. None is allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to cut down its trees or to
chase its game or to pick up its Luqata (fallen things) except by a person who would announce it
publicly." `Abbas bin `Abdul-Muttalib requested the Prophet, "Except Al-Idhkhir, for our goldsmiths
and for the roofs of our houses." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Except Al-Idhkhir." `Ikrima said, "Do you know
what is meant by chasing its game? It is to drive it out of the shade and sit in its place." Khalid said,
"(`Abbas said: Al-Idhkhir) for our goldsmiths and our graves."
I was a blacksmith in the Pre-Islamic period, and 'Asi bin Wail owed me some money, so I went to
him to demand it. He said (to me), "I will not pay you unless you disbelieve Muhammad." I said, "I
will not disbelieve till Allah kills you and then you get resurrected." He said, "Leave me till I die and
get resurrected, then I will be given wealth and children and I will pay you your debt." On that
occasion it was revealed to the Prophet:
'Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our signs and says: Surely I will be given wealth and
children? Has he known the unseen, or has he taken a covenant from the Beneficent (Allah)? (19.77-
78)

him. The Prophet (ﷺ) sat with the people for a while and then returned (home), wrapped that waist sheet

I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) in a Ghazwa (Military Expedition) and my camel was slow and exhausted. The
Prophet came up to me and said, "O Jabir." I replied, "Yes?" He said, "What is the matter with you?" I

his stick and then ordered me to ride. I rode the camel and it became so fast that I had to hold it from
going ahead of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . He then asked me, have you got married?" I replied in the
affirmative. He asked, "A virgin or a matron?" I replied, "I married a matron." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Why have you not married a virgin, so that you may play with her and she may play with you?" Jabir
replied, "I have sisters (young in age) so I liked to marry a matron who could collect them all and
comb their hair and look after them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You will reach, so when you have arrived (at
home), I advise you to associate with your wife (that you may have an intelligent son)." Then he asked
me, "Would you like to sell your camel?" I replied in the affirmative and the Prophet (ﷺ) purchased it for
one Uqiya of gold. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reached before me and I reached in the morning, and when I went
to the mosque, I found him at the door of the mosque. He asked me, "Have you arrived just now?" I
replied in the affirmative. He said, "Leave your camel and come into (the mosque) and pray two
rak`at." I entered and offered the prayer. He told Bilal to weigh and give me one Uqiya of gold. So
Bilal weighed for me fairly and I went away. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent for me and I thought that he would
return to me my camel which I hated more than anything else. But the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Take your
camel as well as its price."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّهَا اشْتَرَتْ نُمْرُقَةً فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ، فَلَمَّا رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ، فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْهُ، فَعَرَفْتُ فِي وَجْهِهِ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ، فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَإِلَى رَسُولِهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَاذَا أَذْنَبْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَا بَالُ هَذِهِ النُّمْرُقَةِ ". قُلْتُ اشْتَرَيْتُهَا لَكَ لِتَقْعُدَ عَلَيْهَا وَتَوَسَّدَهَا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يُعَذَّبُونَ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَحْيُوا مَا خَلَقْتُمْ ". وَقَالَ " إِنَّ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الصُّوَرُ لاَ تَدْخُلُهُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ ".
(mother of the faithful believers) I bought a cushion with pictures on it. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw it,
he kept standing at the door and did not enter the house. I noticed the sign of disgust on his face, so I
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I repent to Allah and H is Apostle . (Please let me know) what sin I have
done." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "What about this cushion?" I replied, "I bought it for you to sit and recline
on." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The painters (i.e. owners) of these pictures will be punished on the Day of
Resurrection. It will be said to them, 'Put life in what you have created (i.e. painted).' " The Prophet (ﷺ)
added, "The angels do not enter a house where there are pictures."

buyer and the seller give the option of either confirming or canceling the bargain three times, and if
they speak the truth and mention the defects, then their bargain will be blessed, and if they tell lies and
conceal the defects, they might gain some financial gain but they will deprive their sale of (Allah's)

وَقَالَ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفَرٍ فَكُنْتُ عَلَى بَكْرٍ صَعْبٍ لِعُمَرَ، فَكَانَ يَغْلِبُنِي فَيَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَ الْقَوْمِ، فَيَزْجُرُهُ عُمَرُ وَيَرُدُّهُ، ثُمَّ يَتَقَدَّمُ فَيَزْجُرُهُ عُمَرُ وَيَرُدُّهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِعُمَرَ " بِعْنِيهِ ". قَالَ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ " بِعْنِيهِ ". فَبَاعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " هُوَ لَكَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ تَصْنَعُ بِهِ مَا شِئْتَ ".
We were accompanying the Prophet (ﷺ) on a journey and I was riding an unmanageable camel belonging to 'Umar (ra), and I could not bring it under my control. So, it used to go ahead of the party and 'Umar would check it and force it to retreat, and again it went ahead and again 'Umar forced it to retreat. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked 'Umar to sell that camel to him. 'Umar replied, "It is for you O Allah's Messenger !" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told 'Umar to sell that camel to him (not to give it as gift). So, 'Umar sold it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to 'Abdullah bin 'Umar "This camel is for you O 'Abdullah (as a present) and you could do with it whatever you like."
I bartered my property in Khaibar to 'Uthman (chief of the faithful believers) for his property in Al-Wadi. When we finished the deal, I left immediately and got out of his house lest he should cancel the deal, for the tradition was that they buyer and the seller had the option of canceling the bargain unless they separated. When out deal was completed, I came to know that I have been unfair to 'Uthman, for by selling him my land I caused him to be in a land of Thamud, at a distance of three days journey from Al-Madina, while he made me neared to Al-Madina, at a distance of three days journey from my former land.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "An army will invade the Ka`ba and when the invaders reach Al-Baida', all the
ground will sink and swallow the whole army." I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! How will they sink into the
ground while amongst them will be their markets (the people who worked in business and not
invaders) and the people not belonging to them?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "all of those people will sink
but they will be resurrected and judged according to their intentions."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The congregational prayer of anyone amongst you is more than twenty (five or
twenty seven) times in reward than his prayer in the market or in his house, for if he performs ablution
completely and then goes to the mosque with the sole intention of performing the prayer, and nothing
urges him to proceed to the mosque except the prayer, then, on every step which he takes towards the
mosque, he will be raised one degree or one of his sins will be forgiven. The angels will keep on
asking Allah's forgiveness and blessings for everyone of you so long as he keeps sitting at his praying
place. The angels will say, 'O Allah, bless him! O Allah, be merciful to him!' as long as he does not do
Hadath or a thing which gives trouble to the other." The Prophet (ﷺ) further said, "One is regarded in
prayer so long as one is waiting for the prayer."

Ibn `Umar told us that the people used to buy food from the caravans in the lifetime of the Prophet.
The Prophet (ﷺ) used to forbid them to sell it at the very place where they had purchased it (but they were
to wait) till they carried it to the market where foodstuff was sold. Ibn `Umar said, 'The Prophet (ﷺ) also
forbade the reselling of foodstuff by somebody who had bought it unless he had received it with exact
full measure.'
I met `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As and asked him, "Tell me about the description of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
which is mentioned in Torah (i.e. revelation given to Musa (as).") He replied, 'Yes. By Allah, he is described in
Torah with some of the qualities attributed to him in the Qur'an as follows:
"O Prophet ! We have sent you as a witness (for Allah's True religion) And a giver of glad tidings (to
the faithful believers), And a warner (to the unbelievers) And guardian of the illiterates. You are My
slave and My messenger (i.e. Apostle). I have named you "Al-Mutawakkil" (who depends upon
Allah). You are neither discourteous, harsh Nor a noisemaker in the markets And you do not do evil to
those Who do evil to you, but you deal With them with forgiveness and kindness. Allah will not let
him (the Prophet) Die till he makes straight the crooked people by making them say: "None has the
right to be worshipped but Allah," With which will be opened blind eyes And deaf ears and enveloped
hearts."

kinds. The Ajwa on one side, the cluster of Ibn Zaid on another side, etc.. Then call me." I did that and
called the Prophet (ﷺ) He came and sat at the head or in the middle of the heaps and ordered me. Measure

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ، وَدَعَا لَهَا، وَحَرَّمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ كَمَا حَرَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَكَّةَ، وَدَعَوْتُ لَهَا فِي مُدِّهَا وَصَاعِهَا، مِثْلَ مَا دَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ لِمَكَّةَ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary, and asked for Allah's blessing in
it. I made Medina a sanctuary as Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary and I asked for Allah's Blessing in
its measures the Mudd and the Sa as Abraham did for Mecca.

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ مُرْجَئُونَ مُؤَخَّرُونَ
Ibn `Abbas said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the selling of foodstuff before its measuring and
transferring into one's possession." I asked Ibn `Abbas, "How is that?" Ibn `Abbas replied, "It will be
just like selling money for money, as the foodstuff has not been handed over to the first purchaser who
is the present seller."
That the latter said, "Who has change?" Talha said, "I (will have change) when our storekeeper comes
from the forest."
Malik bin Aus narrated from `Umar bin Al-Khattab: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The bartering of gold for gold is Riba
(usury), except if it is from hand to hand and equal in amount, and wheat grain for wheat grain is
usury except if it is form hand to hand and equal in amount, and dates for dates is usury except if it is
from hand to hand and equal in amount, and barley for barley is usury except if it is from hand to hand
and equal in amount."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَالِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَبْتَاعُونَ جِزَافًا ـ يَعْنِي الطَّعَامَ ـ يُضْرَبُونَ أَنْ يَبِيعُوهُ فِي مَكَانِهِمْ حَتَّى يُؤْوُوهُ إِلَى رِحَالِهِمْ.
I saw the people buy foodstuff randomly (i.e. blindly without measuring it) in the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle and they were punished (by beating), if they tried to sell it before carrying it to their own
houses.
Rarely did the Prophet (ﷺ) fail to visit Abu Bakr's house everyday, either in the morning or in the evening.
When the permission for migration to Medina was granted, all of a sudden the Prophet (ﷺ) came to us at
noon and Abu Bakr was informed, who said, "Certainly the Prophet (ﷺ) has come for some urgent
matter." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abu Bark, when the latter entered "Let nobody stay in your home." Abu
Bakr said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! There are only my two daughters (namely `Aisha and Asma') present."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I feel (am informed) that I have been granted the permission for migration." Abu
Bakr said, "I will accompany you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You will accompany me."
Abu Bakr then said "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have two she-camels I have prepared specially for migration,
so I offer you one of them. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I have accepted it on the condition that I will pay its
price."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the selling of things by a town dweller on behalf of a desert dweller; and
similarly Najsh was forbidden. And one should not urge somebody to return the goods to the seller so
as to sell him his own goods; nor should one demand the hand of a girl who has already been engaged
to someone else; and a woman should not try to cause some other woman to be divorced in order to
take her place.

A man decided that a slave of his would be manumitted after his death and later on he was in need of
money, so the Prophet (ﷺ) took the slave and said, "Who will buy this slave from me?" Nu'aim bin
`Abdullah bought him for such and such price and the Prophet (ﷺ) gave him the slave.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the sale called 'Habal-al-Habala which was a kind of sale practiced in the Pre-
Islamic Period of ignorance. One would pay the price of a she-camel which was not born yet would be
born by the immediate offspring of an extant she-camel.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the selling by Munabadha, i.e. to sell one's garment by casting it to the buyer
not allowing him to examine or see it. Similarly he forbade the selling by Mulamasa. Mulamasa is to

option for three days." And some narrated from Ibn Seereen, " ... a Sa of dates," not mentioning the

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting (present). Barira said, 'I told them of the offer but they did not accept it

Prophet. He said to her, "Buy her and stipulate that her Wala' would be yours as the Wala' is for the
manumitter." `Aisha did so. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up in front of the people, and after glorifying
Allah he said, "Amma Ba`du (i.e. then after)! What about the people who impose conditions which are
not in Allah's Book (Laws)? Any condition that is not in Allah's Book (Laws) is invalid even if they

Sufyan said, "I meant that Jabir belonged to Medina." Sufyan was asked whether in Jabir's narration

Zaid bin Thabit (ra) said, "In the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), the people used to trade with fruits. When they cut their date-fruits and the purchasers came to recieve their rights, the seller would say, 'My dates have got rotten, they are blighted with disease, they are afflicted with Qusham (a disease which causes the fruit to fall before ripening).' They would go on complaining of defects in their purchases. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not sell the fruits before their benefit is evident (i.e. free from all the dangers of being spoiled or blighted), by way of advice for they quarrelled too much." Kharija bin Zaid bin Thabit said that Zaid bin Thabit (ra) used not to sell the fruits of his land till Pleiades appeared and one could distinguish the yellow fruits from the red (ripe) ones.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) appointed somebody as a governor of Khaibar. That governor brought to him an
excellent kind of dates (from Khaibar). The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Are all the dates of Khaibar like this?" He
replied, "By Allah, no, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! But we barter one Sa of this (type of dates) for two Sas of
dates of ours and two Sas of it for three of ours." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not do so (as that is a kind
of usury) but sell the mixed dates (of inferior quality) for money, and then buy good dates with that
money."
If pollinated date-palms are sold and nothing is mentioned (in the contract) about their fruits, the fruits will go to the person who has pollinated them, and so will be the case with the slave and the cultivator. Nafi' mentioned those three things.

is sufficient reasonably and fairly."
who heard Aisha saying, "The Holy Verse; 'Whoever amongst the guardians is rich, he should take no
wages (from the property of the orphans) but If he is poor, let him have for himself what is just and
reasonable (according to his labors)' (4.6) was revealed concerning the guardian of the orphans who
looks after them and manages favorably their financial affairs; If the guardian Is poor, he could have
from It what Is just and reasonable, (according to his labors).

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَضَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالشُّفْعَةِ فِي كُلِّ مَالٍ لَمْ يُقْسَمْ، فَإِذَا وَقَعَتِ الْحُدُودُ وَصُرِّفَتِ الطُّرُقُ فَلاَ شُفْعَةَ.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) decided the validity of preemption in every joint undivided property, but if the
boundaries were well marked or the ways and streets were fixed, then there was no pre-emption.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "While three persons were walking, rain began to fall and they had to enter a cave in
a mountain. A big rock rolled over and blocked the mouth of the cave. They said to each other,
'Invoke Allah with the best deed you have performed (so Allah might remove the rock)'. One of them
said, 'O Allah! My parents were old and I used to go out for grazing (my animals). On my return I
would milk (the animals) and take the milk in a vessel to my parents to drink. After they had drunk
from it, I would give it to my children, family and wife. One day I was delayed and on my return I
found my parents sleeping, and I disliked to wake them up. The children were crying at my feet
(because of hunger). That state of affairs continued till it was dawn. O Allah! If You regard that I did
it for Your sake, then please remove this rock so that we may see the sky.' So, the rock was moved a
bit.
The second said, 'O Allah! You know that I was in love with a cousin of mine, like the deepest love a
man may have for a woman, and she told me that I would not get my desire fulfilled unless I paid her
one-hundred Dinars (gold pieces). So, I struggled for it till I gathered the desired amount, and when I
sat in between her legs, she told me to be afraid of Allah, and asked me not to deflower her except
rightfully (by marriage). So, I got up and left her. O Allah! If You regard that I did if for Your sake,
kindly remove this rock.' So, two-thirds of the rock was removed. Then the third man said, 'O Allah!
No doubt You know that once I employed a worker for one Faraq (three Sa's) of millet, and when I
wanted to pay him, he refused to take it, so I sowed it and from its yield I bought cows and a
shepherd. After a time that man came and demanded his money. I said to him: Go to those cows and
the shepherd and take them for they are for you. He asked me whether I was joking with him. I told
him that I was not joking with him, and all that belonged to him. O Allah! If You regard that I did it
sincerely for Your sake, then please remove the rock.' So, the rock was removed completely from the
mouth of the cave."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مُشْرِكٌ مُشْعَانٌّ طَوِيلٌ بِغَنَمٍ يَسُوقُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" بَيْعًا أَمْ عَطِيَّةً أَوْ قَالَ أَمْ هِبَةً ". قَالَ لاَ بَلْ بَيْعٌ. فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ شَاةً.
We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a tall pagan with long matted unkempt hair came driving his sheep.
The Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Are those sheep for sale or for gifts?" The pagan replied, "They are for sale."
The Prophet (ﷺ) bought one sheep from him.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) Abraham emigrated with Sarah and entered a village where there was
a king or a tyrant. (The king) was told that Abraham had entered (the village) accompanied by a
woman who was one of the most charming women. So, the king sent for Abraham and asked, 'O
Abraham! Who is this lady accompanying you?' Abraham replied, 'She is my sister (i.e. in religion).'
Then Abraham returned to her and said, 'Do not contradict my statement, for I have informed them
that you are my sister. By Allah, there are no true believers on this land except you and 1.' Then
Abraham sent her to the king. When the king got to her, she got up and performed ablution, prayed
and said, 'O Allah! If I have believed in You and Your Apostle, and have saved my private parts from
everybody except my husband, then please do not let this pagan overpower me.' On that the king fell
in a mood of agitation and started moving his legs. Seeing the condition of the king, Sarah said, 'O
Allah! If he should die, the people will say that I have killed him.' The king regained his power, and
proceeded towards her but she got up again and performed ablution, prayed and said, 'O Allah! If I
have believed in You and Your Apostle and have kept my private parts safe from all except my
husband, then please do not let this pagan overpower me.' The king again fell in a mood of agitation
and started moving his legs. On seeing that state of the king, Sarah said, 'O Allah! If he should die, the
people will say that I have killed him.' The king got either two or three attacks, and after recovering
from the last attack he said, 'By Allah! You have sent a satan to me. Take her to Abraham and give her
Ajar.' So she came back to Abraham and said, 'Allah humiliated the pagan and gave us a slave-girl for
service."
Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas and 'Abu bin Zam`a quarreled over a boy. Sa`d said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This
boy is the son of my brother (`Utba bin Abi Waqqas) who took a promise from me that I would take
him as he was his (illegal) son. Look at him and see whom he resembles." 'Abu bin Zam`a said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! This is my brother and was born on my father's bed from his slave-girl." Allah's
Apostle cast a look at the boy and found definite resemblance to `Utba and then said, "The boy is for
you, O 'Abu bin Zam`a. The child goes to the owner of the bed and the adulterer gets nothing but the
stones (despair, i.e. to be stoned to death). Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Sauda bint Zama! Screen
yourself from this boy." So, Sauda never saw him again.
`Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf said to Suhaib, 'Fear Allah and do not ascribe yourself to somebody other
than your father.' Suhaib replied, 'I would not like to say it even if I were given large amounts of
money, but I say I was kidnapped in my childhood.' "

made the fat (of animals) illegal for them, yet they melted the fat and sold it and ate its price."
I saw my father buying a slave whose profession was cupping, and ordered that his instruments (of
cupping) be broken. I asked him the reason for doing so. He replied, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prohibited
taking money for blood, the price of a dog, and the earnings of a slave-girl by prostitution; he cursed
her who tattoos and her who gets tattooed, the eater of Riba (usury), and the maker of pictures."

in the morning of the third day to the Cave of Thaur.

Narrated Ya`la bin Umaiya:
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ غَزَوْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَيْشَ الْعُسْرَةِ فَكَانَ مِنْ أَوْثَقِ أَعْمَالِي فِي نَفْسِي، فَكَانَ لِي أَجِيرٌ، فَقَاتَلَ إِنْسَانًا، فَعَضَّ أَحَدُهُمَا إِصْبَعَ صَاحِبِهِ، فَانْتَزَعَ إِصْبَعَهُ، فَأَنْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ فَسَقَطَتْ، فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَهْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ وَقَالَ
" أَفَيَدَعُ إِصْبَعَهُ فِي فِيكَ تَقْضَمُهَا ـ قَالَ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ ـ كَمَا يَقْضَمُ الْفَحْلُ ". قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، بِمِثْلِ هَذِهِ الصِّفَةِ أَنَّ رَجُلاً، عَضَّ يَدَ رَجُلٍ، فَأَنْدَرَ ثَنِيَّتَهُ، فَأَهْدَرَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ رضى الله عنه.
I fought in Jaish-al-Usra (Ghazwa of Tabuk) along with the Prophet (ﷺ) and in my opinion that was the
best of my deeds. Then I had an employee, who quarrel led with someone and one of the them bit and
cut the other's finger and caused his own tooth to fall out. He then went to the Prophet (with a
complaint) but the Prophet (ﷺ) canceled the suit and said to the complainant, "Did you expect him to let
his finger in your mouth so that you might snap and cut it (as does a stallion camel)?"
Narrated Ibn Juraij from `Abdullah bin Abu Mulaika from his grandfather a similar story: A man bit
the hand of another man and caused his own tooth to fall out, but Abu Bakr judged that he had no
right for compensation (for the broken tooth).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Both of them (Moses and Al-Khadir) proceeded on till they reached a wall
which was about to fall." Sa`d said [?? or Sa`id], "(Al-Khadir pointed) with his hands (towards the
wall) and then raised his hands and the wall became straightened up." Ya`la said, "I think Sa`id [?? or
Sa`d] said, 'He (Khadir) passed his hand over it and it was straightened up." (Moses said to him), "if
you had wanted, you could have taken wages for it." Sa`id [?? or Sa`d] said, "Wages with which to
buy food . "
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your example and the example of the people of the two Scriptures (i.e. Jews and
Christians) is like the example of a man who employed some laborers and asked them, 'Who will
work for me from morning till midday for one Qirat?' The Jews accepted and carried out the work. He
then asked, Who will work for me from midday up to the `Asr prayer for one Qirat?' The Christians
accepted and fulfilled the work. He then said, 'Who will work for me from the `Asr till sunset for two
Qirats?' You, Muslims have accepted the offer. The Jews and the Christians got angry and said, 'Why
should we work more and get lesser wages?' (Allah) said, 'Have I withheld part of your right?' They
replied in the negative. He said, 'It is My Blessing, I bestow upon whomever I wish .'
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Your example and the example of Jews and Christians is like the example of a
man who employed some laborers to whom he said, 'Who will work for me up to midday for one
Qirat each?' The Jews carried out the work for one Qirat each; and then the Christians carried out the
work up to the `Asr prayer for one Qirat each; and now you Muslims are working from the `Asr
prayer up to sunset for two Qirats each. The Jews and Christians got angry and said, 'We work more
and are paid less.' The employer (Allah) asked them, 'Have I usurped some of your right?' They
replied in the negative. He said, 'That is My Blessing, I bestow upon whomever I wish.' "

Narrated Abu Huraira:
حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ثَلاَثَةٌ أَنَا خَصْمُهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رَجُلٌ أَعْطَى بِي ثُمَّ غَدَرَ، وَرَجُلٌ بَاعَ حُرًّا فَأَكَلَ ثَمَنَهُ، وَرَجُلٌ اسْتَأْجَرَ أَجِيرًا فَاسْتَوْفَى مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُعْطِهِ أَجْرَهُ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah said, 'I will be an opponent to three types of people on the Day of
Resurrection:
-1. One who makes a covenant in My Name, but proves treacherous;
-2. One who sells a free person and eats his price; and
-3. One who employs a laborer and takes full work from him but does not pay him for his lab our.' "
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of Muslims, Jews and Christians is like the example of a man who
employed laborers to work for him from morning till night for specific wages. They worked till
midday and then said, 'We do not need your money which you have fixed for us and let whatever we
have done be annulled.' The man said to them, 'Don't quit the work, but complete the rest of it and
take your full wages.' But they refused and went away. The man employed another batch after them
and said to them, 'Complete the rest of the day and yours will be the wages I had fixed for the first
batch.' So, they worked till the time of `Asr prayer. Then they said, "Let what we have done be
annulled and keep the wages you have promised us for yourself.' The man said to them, 'Complete the
rest of the work, as only a little of the day remains,' but they refused. Thereafter he employed another
batch to work for the rest of the day and they worked for the rest of the day till the sunset, and they
received the wages of the two former batches. So, that was the example of those people (Muslims) and
the example of this light (guidance) which they have accepted willingly.
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "Three men from among those who were before you, set out together
till they reached a cave at night and entered it. A big rock rolled down the mountain and closed the
mouth of the cave. They said (to each other), Nothing could save you from this rock but to invoke
Allah by giving reference to the righteous deed which you have done (for Allah's sake only).' So, one
of them said, 'O Allah! I had old parents and I never provided my family (wife, children etc.) with
milk before them. One day, by chance I was delayed, and I came late (at night) while they had slept. I
milked the sheep for them and took the milk to them, but I found them sleeping. I disliked to provide
my family with the milk before them. I waited for them and the bowl of milk was in my hand and I
kept on waiting for them to get up till the day dawned. Then they got up and drank the milk. O Allah!
If I did that for Your Sake only, please relieve us from our critical situation caused by this rock.' So,
the rock shifted a little but they could not get out."
The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "The second man said, 'O Allah! I had a cousin who was the dearest of all people
to me and I wanted to have sexual relations with her but she refused. Later she had a hard time in a
famine year and she came to me and I gave her one-hundred-and-twenty Dinars on the condition that
she would not resist my desire, and she agreed. When I was about to fulfill my desire, she said: It is
illegal for you to outrage my chastity except by legitimate marriage. So, I thought it a sin to have
sexual intercourse with her and left her though she was the dearest of all the people to me, and also I
left the gold I had given her. O Allah! If I did that for Your Sake only, please relieve us from the
present calamity.' So, the rock shifted a little more but still they could not get out from there."
The Prophet (ﷺ) added, "Then the third man said, 'O Allah! I employed few laborers and I paid them their
wages with the exception of one man who did not take his wages and went away. I invested his wages
and I got much property thereby. (Then after some time) he came and said to me: O Allah's slave! Pay
me my wages. I said to him: All the camels, cows, sheep and slaves you see, are yours. He said: O
Allah's slave! Don't mock at me. I said: I am not mocking at you. So, he took all the herd and drove
them away and left nothing. O Allah! If I did that for Your Sake only, please relieve us from the
present suffering.' So, that rock shifted completely and they got out walking.

Ibn `Abbas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the meeting of caravans (on the way) and ordained that no

"He should not work as a broker for him."
I was a blacksmith and did some work for Al-`As bin Wail. When he owed me some money for my
work, I went to him to ask for that amount. He said, "I will not pay you unless you disbelieve in
Muhammad." I said, "By Allah! I will never do that till you die and be resurrected." He said, "Will I
be dead and then resurrected after my death?" I said, "Yes." He said, "There I will have property and
offspring and then I will pay you your due." Then Allah revealed. 'Have you seen him who
disbelieved in Our signs, and yet says: I will be given property and offspring?' (19.77)

Some of the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) went on a journey till they reached some of the 'Arab tribes (at
night). They asked the latter to treat them as their guests but they refused. The chief of that tribe was
then bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and they tried their best to cure him but in vain. Some
of them said (to the others), "Nothing has benefited him, will you go to the people who resided here at
night, it may be that some of them might possess something (as treatment)," They went to the group of
the companions (of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) and said, "Our chief has been bitten by a snake (or stung by a
scorpion) and we have tried everything but he has not benefited. Have you got anything (useful)?"
One of them replied, "Yes, by Allah! I can recite a Ruqya, but as you have refused to accept us as
your guests, I will not recite the Ruqya for you unless you fix for us some wages for it." They agrees
to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them then went and recited (Surat-ul-Fatiha): 'All the praises are
for the Lord of the Worlds' and puffed over the chief who became all right as if he was released from a
chain, and got up and started walking, showing no signs of sickness.
They paid them what they agreed to pay. Some of them (i.e. the companions) then suggested to divide
their earnings among themselves, but the one who performed the recitation said, "Do not divide them
till we go to the Prophet (ﷺ) and narrate the whole story to him, and wait for his order." So, they went to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and narrated the story. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked, "How did you come to know that Suratul-
Fatiha was recited as Ruqya?" Then he added, "You have done the right thing. Divide (what you
have earned) and assign a share for me as well." The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled thereupon.

"Is he in debt?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Has he left any wealth?"
They said, ''Three Dinars." So, he led the prayer. Then a third dead
man was brought and the people said (to the Prophet (ﷺ) ), Please lead his
funeral prayer." He said, "Has he left any wealth?" They said, "No."
He asked, "Is he in debt?" They said, ("Yes! He has to pay) three
Diners.', He (refused to pray and) said, "Then pray for your (dead)
companion." Abu Qatada said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Lead his funeral
prayer, and I will pay his debt." So, he led the prayer.
'Umar (ra) sent him (i.e. Hamza) as a Sadaqa / Zakat collector. A man had committed illegal sexual intercourse with the slave girl of his wife. Hamza took (personal) sureties for the adulterer till they came to 'Umar. 'Umar had lashed the adulterer one hundred lashes. 'Umar confirmed their claim (that the adulterer had already been punished) and excused him because of being Ignorant.
Jarir Al-Ash'ath said to Ibn Mas'ud regarding renegades (i.e., those who became infidels after embracing Islam), "Let them repent and take (personal) sureties for them." They repented and their relatives stood sureties for them.
According to Hammad, if somebody stands surety for another person and that person dies, the person giving surety will be released from responsibility. According to Al-Hakam, his responsibilities continues.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "An Israeli man asked another Israeli to lend him
one thousand Dinars. The second man required witnesses. The former
replied, 'Allah is sufficient as a witness.' The second said, 'I want
a surety.' The former replied, 'Allah is sufficient as a surety.' The
second said, 'You are right,' and lent him the money for a certain
period. The debtor went across the sea. When he finished his job, he
searched for a conveyance so that he might reach in time for the
repayment of the debt, but he could not find any. So, he took a piece
of wood and made a hole in it, inserted in it one thousand Dinars and
a letter to the lender and then closed (i.e. sealed) the hole tightly.
He took the piece of wood to the sea and said. 'O Allah! You know well
that I took a loan of one thousand Dinars from so-and-so. He demanded
a surety from me but I told him that Allah's Guarantee was sufficient
and he accepted Your guarantee. He then asked for a witness and I told
him that Allah was sufficient as a Witness, and he accepted You as a
Witness. No doubt, I tried hard to find a conveyance so that I could
pay his money but could not find, so I hand over this money to You.'
Saying that, he threw the piece of wood into the sea till it went out
far into it, and then he went away. Meanwhile he started searching for
a conveyance in order to reach the creditor's country.
One day the lender came out of his house to see whether a ship had
arrived bringing his money, and all of a sudden he saw the piece of
wood in which his money had been deposited. He took it home to use for
fire. When he sawed it, he found his money and the letter inside it.
Shortly after that, the debtor came bringing one thousand Dinars to
him and said, 'By Allah, I had been trying hard to get a boat so that
I could bring you your money, but failed to get one before the one I
have come by.' The lender asked, 'Have you sent something to me?' The
debtor replied, 'I have told you I could not get a boat other than the
one I have come by.' The lender said, 'Allah has delivered on your
behalf the money you sent in the piece of wood. So, you may keep your
one thousand Dinars and depart guided on the right path.' "
Ibn `Abbas said, "In the verse: To every one We have appointed ' (Muwaliya Muwaliya means one's)
heirs (4.33).' (And regarding the verse) 'And those with whom your right hands have made a pledge.'
Ibn `Abbas said, "When the emigrants came to the Prophet (ﷺ) in Medina, the emigrant would inherit the
Ansari while the latter's relatives would not inherit him because of the bond of brotherhood which the
Prophet established between them (i.e. the emigrants and the Ansar). When the verse: 'And to
everyone We have appointed heirs' (4.33) was revealed, it canceled (the bond (the pledge) of
brotherhood regarding inheritance)." Then he said, "The verse: To those also to whom your right
hands have pledged, remained valid regarding cooperation and mutual advice, while the matter of
inheritance was excluded and it became permissible to assign something in one's testament to the
person who had the right of inheriting before.

and) said, "Lead the prayer of your friend." Abu Qatada said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I undertake to pay
his debt." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then led his funeral prayer.

Hadith 2296
Kafalah - كتاب الكفالة
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، سَمِعَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" لَوْ قَدْ جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ، قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ". فَلَمْ يَجِئْ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَمَّا جَاءَ مَالُ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَمَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَادَى مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عِدَةٌ أَوْ دَيْنٌ فَلْيَأْتِنَا. فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لِي كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَحَثَى لِي حَثْيَةً فَعَدَدْتُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ خَمْسُمِائَةٍ، وَقَالَ خُذْ مِثْلَيْهَا.
Once the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to me), "If the money of Bahrain comes, I will give you a certain amount of
it." The Prophet (ﷺ) had breathed his last before the money of Bahrain arrived. When the money of
Bahrain reached, Abu Bakr announced, "Whoever was promised by the Prophet (ﷺ) should come to us." I
went to Abu Bakr and said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) promised me so and so." Abu Bakr gave me a handful of
coins and when I counted them, they were five-hundred in number. Abu Bakr then said, "Take twice
the amount you have taken (besides).
(wife of the Prophet) Since I reached the age when I could remember things, I have seen my parents
worshipping according to the right faith of Islam. Not a single day passed but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) visited
us both in the morning and in the evening. When the Muslims were persecuted, Abu Bakr set out for
Ethiopia as an emigrant. When he reached a place called Bark-al-Ghimad, he met Ibn Ad-Daghna, the
chief of the Qara tribe, who asked Abu Bakr, "Where are you going?" Abu Bakr said, "My people
have turned me out of the country and I would like to tour the world and worship my Lord." Ibn Ad-
Daghna said, "A man like you will not go out, nor will he be turned out as you help the poor earn their
living, keep good relation with your Kith and kin, help the disabled (or the dependents), provide
guests with food and shelter, and help people during their troubles. I am your protector. So, go back
and worship your Lord at your home." Ibn Ad-Daghna went along with Abu Bakr and took him to the
chiefs of Quraish saying to them, "A man like Abu Bakr will not go out, nor will he be turned out. Do
you turn out a man who helps the poor earn their living, keeps good relations with Kith and kin, helps
the disabled, provides guests with food and shelter, and helps the people during their troubles?"
So, Quraish allowed Ibn Ad-Daghna's guarantee of protection and told Abu- Bakr that he was secure,
and said to Ibn Ad-Daghna, "Advise Abu Bakr to worship his Lord in his house and to pray and read
what he liked and not to hurt us and not to do these things publicly, for we fear that our sons and
women may follow him." Ibn Ad-Daghna told Abu Bakr of all that, so Abu- Bakr continued
worshipping his Lord in his house and did not pray or recite Qur'an aloud except in his house. Later
on Abu Bakr had an idea of building a mosque in the court yard of his house. He fulfilled that idea and
started praying and reciting Qur'an there publicly. The women and the offspring of the pagans started
gathering around him and looking at him astonishingly. Abu Bakr was a softhearted person and could
not help weeping while reciting Qur'an. This horrified the pagan chiefs of Quraish. They sent for Ibn
Ad-Daghna and when he came, they said, "We have given Abu Bakr protection on condition that he
will worship his Lord in his house, but he has transgressed that condition and has built a mosque in
the court yard of his house and offered his prayer and recited Qur'an in public. We are afraid lest he
mislead our women and offspring. So, go to him and tell him that if he wishes he can worship his
Lord in his house only, and if not, then tell him to return your pledge of protection as we do not like to
betray you by revoking your pledge, nor can we tolerate Abu Bakr's public declaration of Islam (his
worshipping).
`Aisha added: Ibn Ad-Daghna came to Abu Bakr and said, "You know the conditions on which I gave
you protection, so you should either abide by those conditions or revoke my protection, as I do not
like to hear the 'Arabs saying that Ibn Ad-Daghna gave the pledge of protection to a person and his
people did not respect it." Abu Bakr said, "I revoke your pledge of protection and am satisfied with
Allah's protection." At that time Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was still in Mecca and he said to his companions,
"Your place of emigration has been shown to me. I have seen salty land, planted with date-palms and
situated between two mountains which are the two ,Harras." So, when the Prophet (ﷺ) told it, some of the
companions migrated to Medina, and some of those who had migrated to Ethiopia returned to Medina.
When Abu Bakr prepared for emigration, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him, "Wait, for I expect to be
permitted to emigrate." Abu Bakr asked, "May my father be sacrificed for your sake, do you really
expect that?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied in the affirmative. So, Abu Bakr postponed his departure in order
to accompany Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and fed two camels which he had, with the leaves of Samor trees for
four months.
