Narrated Abu Dhar: Once, while I was in the company of
the Prophet, he saw the mountain of Uhud and said, "I would not like to have
this mountain turned into gold for me unless nothing of it, not even a
single Dinar remains of it with me for more than three days (i.e. I will
spend all of it in Allah's Cause), except that Dinar which I will keep for
repaying debts." Then he said, "Those who are rich in this world would have
little reward in the Hereafter except those who spend their money here and
there (in Allah's Cause), and they are few in number." Then he ordered me to
stay at my place and went not far away. I heard a voice and intended to go
to him but I remembered his order, "Stay at your place till I return." On
his return I said, "O Allah's Apostle! (What was) that noise which I heard?"
He said, "Did you hear anything?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Gabriel came and
said to me, 'Whoever amongst your followers dies, worshipping none along
with Allah, will enter Paradise.' " I said, "Even if he did such-and-such
things (i.e. even if he stole or committed illegal sexual intercourse)" He
said, "Yes."

to him." They said, "The camel that is available is older than the camel he
demands. "The Prophet said, "Buy it and give it to him, for the best among
you are those who repay their debts handsomely. "

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: My father was martyred on
the day (of the battle) of Uhud, and he was in debt. His creditors demanded
their rights persistently. I went to the Prophet (and informed him about
it). He told them to take the fruits of my garden and exempt my father from
the debts but they refused to do so. So, the Prophet did not give them my
garden and told me that he would come to me the next morning. He came to us
early in the morning and wandered among the datepalms and invoked Allah to
bless their fruits. I then plucked the dates and paid the creditors, and
there remained some of the dates for us.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: When my father died he owed
a Jew thirty Awsuq (of dates). I requested him to give me respite for
repaying but he refused. I requested Allah's Apostle to intercede with the
Jew. Allah's Apostle went to the Jew and asked him to accept the fruits of
my trees in place of the debt but the Jew refused. Allah's Apostle entered
the garden of the date-palms, wandering among the trees and ordered me
(saying), "Pluck (the fruits) and give him his due." So, I plucked the
fruits for him after the departure of Allah's Apostle and gave his thirty
Awsuq, and still had seventeen Awsuq extra for myself. Jabir said: I went to
Allah's Apostle to inform of what had happened, but found him praying the
'Asr prayer. After the prayer I told him about the extra fruits which
remained. Allah's Apostle told me to inform (Umar) Ibn Al-Khatab about it.
When I went to 'Umar and told him about it, 'Umar said, "When Allah's
Apostle walked in your garden, I was sure that Allah would definitely bless
it."

being in debt." Someone said, O Allah's Apostle! (I see you) very often you
seek refuge with Allah from being in debt. He replied, "If a person is in
debt, he tells lies when he speaks, and breaks his promises when he
promises."

the believers than their selves in this world and in the Hereafter, and if
you like, you can read Allah's Statement: "The Prophet is closer to the
believers than their own selves." (33.6) So, if a true believer dies and
leaves behind some property, it will be for his inheritors (from the
father's side), and if he leaves behind some debt to be paid or needy
offspring, then they should come to me as I am the guardian of the
deceased."

Volume 3, Book 41, Number 589:
|
Narrated Jabir: When 'Abdullah (my father) died, he left
behind children and debts. I asked the lenders to put down some of his debt,
but they refused, so I went to the Prophet to intercede with them, yet they
refused. The Prophet said (to me), "Classify your dates into their different
kinds: 'Adhq bin Zaid, Lean and 'Ajwa, each kind alone and call all the
creditors and wait till I come to you." I did so and the Prophet came and
sat beside the dates and started measuring to each his due till he paid them
fully, and the amount of dates remained as it was before, as if he had not
touched them. (On another occasion) I took part in one of Ghazawat among
with the Prophet and I was riding one of our camels. The camel got tired and
was lagging behind the others. The Prophet hit it on its back. He said,
"Sell it to me, and you have the right to ride it till Medina.'' When we
approached Medina, I took the permission from the Prophet to go to my house,
saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have newly married." The Prophet asked, "Have
you married a virgin or a matron (a widow or divorcee)?" I said, "I have
married a matron, as 'Abdullah (my father) died and left behind daughters
small in their ages, so I married a matron who may teach them and bring them
up with good manners." The Prophet then said (to me), "Go to your family."
When I went there and told my maternal uncle about the selling of the camel,
he admonished me for it. On that I told him about its slowness and
exhaustion and about what the Prophet had done to the camel and his hitting
it. When the Prophet arrived, I went to him with the camel in the morning
and he gave me its price, the camel itself, and my share from the war booty
as he gave the other people.

has forbidden for you, (1) to be undutiful to your mothers, (2) to bury your
daughters alive, (3) to not to pay the rights of the others (e.g. charity,
etc.) and (4) to beg of men (begging). And Allah has hated for you (1) vain,
useless talk, or that you talk too much about others, (2) to ask too many
questions, (in disputed religious matters) and (3) to waste the wealth (by
extravagance).

Volume 3, Book 41, Number 592:

Narrated Abdullah bin 'Umar: I heard Allah's Apostle
saying, "Everyone of you is a guardian, and responsible for what is in his
custody. The ruler is a guardian of his subjects and responsible for them; a
husband is a guardian of his family and is responsible for it; a lady is a
guardian of her husband's house and is responsible for it, and a servant is
a guardian of his master's property and is responsible for it." I heard that
from Allah's Apostle and I think that the Prophet also said, "A man is a
guardian of is father's property and is responsible for it, so all of you
are guardians and responsible for your wards and things under your care."

them, "Don't differ, for the nations before you differed and perished
(because of their differences). "

people!" At that the Muslim raised his hand and slapped the Jew on the face.
The Jew went to the Prophet and informed him of what had happened between
him and the Muslim. The Prophet sent for the Muslim and asked him about it.
The Muslim informed him of the event. The Prophet said, "Do not give me
superiority over Moses, for on the Day of Resurrection all the people will
fall unconscious and I will be one of them, but I will. be the first to gain
consciousness, and will see Moses standing and holding the side of the
Throne (of Allah). I will not know whether (Moses) has also fallen
unconscious and got up before me, or Allah has exempted him from that
stroke."

slapped me on my face." The Prophet asked who that was. He replied that he
was one of the Ansar. The Prophet sent for him, and on his arrival, he asked
him whether he had beaten the Jew. He (replied in the affirmative and) said,
"I heard him taking an oath in the market saying, 'By Him Who gave Moses
superiority over all the human beings.' I said, 'O wicked man! (Has Allah
given Moses superiority) even over Muhammad I became furious and slapped him
over his face." The Prophet said, "Do not give a prophet superiority over
another, for on the Day of Resurrection all the people will fall unconscious
and I will be the first to emerge from the earth, and will see Moses
standing and holding one of the legs of the Throne. I will not know whether
Moses has fallen unconscious or the first unconsciousness was sufficient for
him."

"Whoever takes a false oath so as to take the property of a Muslim
(illegally) will meet Allah while He will be angry with him." Al-Ash'ath
said: By Allah, that saying concerned me. I had common land with a Jew, and
the Jew later on denied my ownership, so I took him to the Prophet who asked
me whether I had a proof of my ownership. When I replied in the negative,
the Prophet asked the Jew to take an oath. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! He
will take an oath and deprive me of my property." So, Allah revealed the
following verse: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of
Allah's covenant and their oaths." (3.77)

replied, "Labaik, O Allah's Apostle." (He said to him), "Reduce your debt to
one half," gesturing with his hand. Kab said, "I have done so, O Allah's
Apostle!" On that the Prophet said to Ibn Abi Hadrad, "Get up and repay the
debt, to him."

bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to that of mine.
Allah's Apostle had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was about to
quarrel with him (during the prayer) but I waited till he finished, then I
tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it and brought him to
Allah's Apostle and said, "I have heard him reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a
way different to the way you taught it to me." The Prophet ordered me to
release him and asked Hisham to recite it. When he recited it, Allah s
Apostle said, "It was revealed in this way." He then asked me to recite it.
When I recited it, he said, "It was revealed in this way. The Qur'an has
been revealed in seven different ways, so recite it in the way that is
easier for you."

should search for the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a and take him into my
custody as he was his son." 'Abu bin Zam'a said, 'the is my brother and the
son of the slave-girl of my father, and was born or my father's bed." The
Prophet noticed a resemblance between Utba and the boy but he said, "O 'Abu
bin Zam'a! You will get this boy, as the son goes to the owner of the bed.
You, Sauda, screen yourself from the boy."

let you die and then resurrect you." He said, "Then wait till I die and come
to life again, for then I will be given property and offspring and will pay
your right." So, thus revelation came: "Have you seen him who disbelieved in
Our signs and yet says, 'I will be given property and offspring?' " (19.77)
