Chapter 99: Buying and selling with Mushrikun and the enemy - كتاب البيوع
Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr:
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.' "

Hakim bin Hizam said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I used to do good deeds in the Pre-Islamic period of
Ignorance, e.g., keeping good relations with my Kith and kin, manumitting slaves and giving alms.
Shall I receive a reward for all that?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "You embraced Islam with all the good
deeds which you did in the past."

Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) passed by a dead sheep and said to the people, "Wouldn't you benefit by its
skin?" The people replied that it was dead. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But its eating only is illegal."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, son of Mary (Jesus) will shortly descend
amongst you people (Muslims) as a just ruler and will break the Cross and kill the pig and abolish the
Jizya (a tax taken from the non-Muslims, who are in the protection, of the Muslim government). Then
there will be abundance of money and nobody will accept charitable gifts.

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي طَاوُسٌ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ بَلَغَ عُمَرَ أَنَّ فُلاَنًا بَاعَ خَمْرًا فَقَالَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ فُلاَنًا، أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ، حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الشُّحُومُ فَجَمَلُوهَا فَبَاعُوهَا ".
Once `Umar was informed that a certain man sold alcohol. `Umar said, "May Allah curse him!
Doesn't he know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'May Allah curse the Jews, for Allah had forbidden them to
eat the fat of animals but they melted it and sold it."
While I was with Ibn `Abbas a man came and said, "O father of `Abbas! My sustenance is from my
manual profession and I make these pictures." Ibn `Abbas said, "I will tell you only what I heard from
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . I heard him saying, 'Whoever makes a picture will be punished by Allah till he puts
life in it, and he will never be able to put life in it.' " Hearing this, that man heaved a sigh and his face
turned pale. Ibn `Abbas said to him, "What a pity! If you insist on making pictures I advise you to
make pictures of trees and any other unanimated objects."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah says, 'I will be against three persons on the Day of Resurrection:
-1. One who makes a covenant in My Name, but he proves treacherous.
-2. One who sells a free person (as a slave) and eats the price,
-3. And one who employs a laborer and gets the full work done by him but does not pay him his
wages.' "

Allah has destined to exist, but will surely come into existence.

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to Khaibar and when Allah made him victorious and he conquered the town by
breaking the enemy's defense, the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was mentioned to him and
her husband had been killed while she was a bride. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) selected her for himself and he set
out in her company till he reached Sadd-ar-Rawha' where her menses were over and he married her.
Then Hais (a kind of meal) was prepared and served on a small leather sheet (used for serving meals).
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then said to me, "Inform those who are around you (about the wedding banquet)." So
that was the marriage banquet given by Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for (his marriage with) Safiya. After that we
proceeded to Medina and I saw that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was covering her with a cloak while she was
behind him. Then he would sit beside his camel and let Safiya put her feet on his knees to ride (the
camel).

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), in the year of the Conquest of Mecca, saying, "Allah and His Apostle made
illegal the trade of alcohol, dead animals, pigs and idols." The people asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What
about the fat of dead animals, for it was used for greasing the boats and the hides; and people use it for
lights?" He said, "No, it is illegal." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) further said, "May Allah curse the Jews, for Allah
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."

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَالَ
" فِي كَيْلٍ مَعْلُومٍ وَوَزْنٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ ".
The Prophet (ﷺ) came (to Medina) and he told the people (regarding the payment of money in advance
that they should pay it) for a known specified measure and a known specified weight and a known
specified period.
