Volume 3, Book 40, Number 541:

Narrated Sahl bin Sad: A tumbler (full of milk or water)
was brought to the Prophet who drank from it, while on his right side there
was sitting a boy who was the youngest of those who were present and on his
left side there were old men. The Prophet asked, "O boy, will you allow me
to give it (i.e. the rest of the drink) to the old men?" The boy said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I will not give preference to anyone over me to drink the
rest of it from which you have drunk." So, the Prophet gave it to him.

Narrated Az-Zuhri: Anas bin Malik said, that once a
domestic sheep was milked for Allah's Apostle while he was in the house of
Anas bin Malik. The milk was mixed with water drawn from the well in Anas's
house. A tumbler of it was presented to Allah's Apostle who drank from it.
Then Abu Bakr was sitting on his left side and a bedouin on his right side.
When the Prophet removed the tumbler from his mouth, 'Umar was afraid that
the Prophet might give it to the bedouin, so he said. "O Allah's Apostle!
Give it to Abu Bakr who is sitting by your side." But the Prophet gave it to
the bedouin, who was to his right and said, "You should start with the one
on your right side."

purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant, and their oaths.'
........(3.77) Al-Ash'ath came (to the place where 'Abdullah was narrating)
and said, "What has Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (i.e. Abdullah) been telling you? This
verse was revealed concerning me. I had a well in the land of a cousin of
mine. The Prophet asked me to bring witnesses (to confirm my claim). I said,
'I don't have witnesses.' He said, 'Let the defendant take an oath then.' I
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! He will take a (false) oath immediately.' Then the
Prophet mentioned the above narration and Allah revealed the verse to
confirm what he had said." (See Hadith No. 692)

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "There are
three persons whom Allah will not look at on the Day of Resurrection, nor
will he purify them and theirs shall be a severe punishment. They are: 1. A
man possessed superfluous water, on a way and he withheld it from travelers.
2. A man who gave a pledge of allegiance to a ruler and he gave it only for
worldly benefits. If the ruler gives him something he gets satisfied, and if
the ruler withholds something from him, he gets dissatisfied. 3. And man
displayed his goods for sale after the 'Asr prayer and he said, 'By Allah,
except Whom None has the right to be worshipped, I have been given so much
for my goods,' and somebody believes him (and buys them)." The Prophet then
recited: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's
Covenant and their oaths." (3.77)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair: An Ansari man
quarrelled with Az-Zubair in the presence of the Prophet about the Harra
Canals which were used for irrigating the date-palms. The Ansari man said to
Az-Zubair, "Let the water pass' but Az-Zubair refused to do so. So, the case
was brought before the Prophet who said to Az-Zubair, "O Zubair! Irrigate
(your land) and then let the water pass to your neighbor." On that the
Ansari got angry and said to the Prophet, "Is it because he (i.e. Zubair) is
your aunt's son?" On that the color of the face of Allah's Apostle changed
(because of anger) and he said, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) and then
withhold the water till it reaches the walls between the pits round the
trees." Zubair said, "By Allah, I think that the following verse was
revealed on this occasion": "But no, by your Lord They can have No faith
Until they make you judge In all disputes between them." (4.65)

Narrated 'Urwa: When a man from the Ansar quarrelled with
AzZubair, the Prophet said, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) first and then
let the water flow (to the land of the others)." "On that the Ansari said,
(to the Prophet), "It is because he is your aunt's son." On that the Prophet
said, "O Zubair! Irrigate till the water reaches the walls between the pits
around the trees and then stop (i.e. let the water go to the other's land)."
I think the following verse was revealed concerning this event: "But no, by
your Lord They can have No faith Until they make you judge In all disputes
between them." (4.65)

Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: An-Ansari man quarrelled
with Az-Zubair about a canal in the Harra which was used for irrigating
date-palms. Allah's Apostle, ordering Zubair to be moderate, said, "O
Zubair! Irrigate (your land) first and then leave the water for your
neighbor." The Ansari said, "Is it because he is your aunt's son?" On that
the color of the face of Allah's Apostle changed and he said, "O Zubair!
Irrigate (your land) and withhold the water till it reaches the walls that
are between the pits around the trees." So, Allah's Apostle gave Zubair his
full right. Zubair said, "By Allah, the following verse was revealed in that
connection": "But no, by your Lord They can have No faith Until they make
you judge In all disputes between them." (4.65) (The sub-narrator,) Ibn
Shihab said to Juraij (another sub-narrator), "The Ansar and the other
people interpreted the saying of the Prophet, 'Irrigate (your land) and
with-hold the water till it reaches the walls between the pits around the
trees,' as meaning up to the ankles."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "While a man
was walking he felt thirsty and went down a well and drank water from it. On
coming out of it, he saw a dog panting and eating mud because of excessive
thirst. The man said, 'This (dog) is suffering from the same problem as that
of mine. So he (went down the well), filled his shoe with water, caught hold
of it with his teeth and climbed up and watered the dog. Allah thanked him
for his (good) deed and forgave him." The people asked, "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."

|
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said, "May Allah be
merciful to the mother of Ishmael! If she had left the water of Zam-Zam
(fountain) as it was, (without constructing a basin for keeping the water),
(or said, "If she had not taken handfuls of its water"), it would have been
a flowing stream. Jurhum (an Arab tribe) came and asked her, 'May we settle
at your dwelling?' She said, 'Yes, but you have no right to possess the
water.' They agreed."

|
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "There are three
types of people whom Allah will neither talk to, nor look at, on the Day of
Resurrection. (They are): 1. A man who takes an oath falsely that he has
been offered for his goods so much more than what he is given, 2. a man who
takes a false oath after the 'Asr prayer in order to grab a Muslim's
property, and 3. a man who with-holds his superfluous water. Allah will say
to him, "Today I will with-hold My Grace from you as you with-held the
superfluity of what you had not created."

Volume 3, Book 40, Number 559:
|
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "Keeping
horses may be a source of reward to some (man), a shelter to another (i.e.
means of earning one's living), or a burden to a third. He to whom the horse
will be a source of reward is the one who keeps it in Allah's Cause (prepare
it for holy battles) and ties it by a long rope in a pasture (or a garden).
He will get a reward equal to what its long rope allows it to eat in the
pasture or the garden, and if that horse breaks its rope and crosses one or
two hills, then all its foot-steps and its dung will be counted as good
deeds for its owner; and if it passes by a river and drinks from it, then
that will also be regarded as a good deed for its owner even if he has had
no intention of watering it then. Horses are a shelter from poverty to the
second person who keeps horses for earning his living so as not to ask
others, and at the same time he gives Allah's right (i.e. Rakat) (from the
wealth he earns through using them in trading etc.,) and does not overburden
them. He who keeps horses just out of pride and for showing off and as a
means of harming the Muslims, his horses will be a source of sins to him."
When Allah's Apostle was asked about donkeys, he replied, "Nothing
particular was revealed to me regarding

Narrated Zaid bin Khalid: A man came to Allah's Apostle
and asked about Al-Luqata (a fallen thing). The Prophet said, "Recognize its
container and its tying material and then make a public announcement about
it for one year and if its owner shows up, give it to him; otherwise use it
as you like." The man said, "What about a lost sheep?" The Prophet said, "It
is for you, your brother or the wolf." The man said "What about a lost
camel?" The Prophet said, "Why should you take it as it has got its
water-container (its stomach) and its hooves and it can reach the places of
water and can eat the trees till its owner finds it?"

Volume 3, Book 40, Number 561:
|
Narrated Az-Zubair bin Al 'Awwam: The Prophet said, "No

ask others who may give him or not."

Narrated Husain bin Ali: Ali bin Abi Talib said: "I got a
she-camel as my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr,
and Allah's Apostle gave me another she-camel. I let both of them kneel at
the door of one of the Ansar, intending to carry Idhkhir on them to sell it
and use its price for my wedding banquet on marrying Fatima. A goldsmith
from Bam Qainqa' was with me. Hamza bin 'Abdul-Muttalib was in that house
drinking wine and a lady singer was reciting: "O Hamza! (Kill) the (two) fat
old she camels (and serve them to your guests)." So Hamza took his sword and
went towards the two she-camels and cut off their humps and opened their
flanks and took a part of their livers." (I said to Ibn Shihab, "Did he take
part of the humps?" He replied, "He cut off their humps and carried them
away.") 'Ali further said, "When I saw that dreadful sight, I went to the
Prophet and told him the news. The Prophet came out in the company of Zaid
bin Haritha who was with him then, and I too went with them. He went to
Hamza and spoke harshly to him. Hamza looked up and said, 'Aren't you only
the slaves of my forefathers?' The Prophet retreated and went out. This
incident happened before the prohibition of drinking."

preference to others, so remain patient till you meet me (on the Day of
Resurrection).
