of Booty to the Cause of Allah (Khumus)
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 324:
|
Narrated Ali: I got a she-camel in my share of the war
booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and the Prophet had given me a
she-camel from the Khumus. When I intended to marry Fatima, the daughter of
Allah's Apostle, I had an appointment with a goldsmith from the tribe of
Bani Qainuqa' to go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e. grass of pleasant smell)
and sell it to the goldsmiths and spend its price on my wedding party. I was
collecting for my she-camels equipment of saddles, sacks and ropes while my
two she-camels were kneeling down beside the room of an Ansari man. I
returned after collecting whatever I collected, to see the humps of my two
she-camels cut off and their flanks cut open and some portion of their
livers was taken out. When I saw that state of my two she-camels, I could
not help weeping. I asked, "Who has done this?" The people replied, "Hamza
bin Abdul Muttalib who is staying with some Ansari drunks in this house." I
went away till I reached the Prophet and Zaid bin Haritha was with him. The
Prophet noticed on my face the effect of what I had suffered, so the Prophet
asked. "What is wrong with you." I replied, "O Allah's Apostle! I have never
seen such a day as today. Hamza attacked my two she-camels, cut off their
humps, and ripped open their flanks, and he is sitting there in a house in
the company of some drunks." The Prophet then asked for his covering sheet,
put it on, and set out walking followed by me and Zaid bin Haritha till he
came to the house where Hamza was. He asked permission to enter, and they
allowed him, and they were drunk. Allah's Apostle started rebuking Hamza for
what he had done, but Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red. Hamza looked at
Allah's Apostle and then he raised his eyes, looking at his knees, then he
raised up his eyes looking at his umbilicus, and again he raised up his eyes
look in at his face. Hamza then said, "Aren't you but the slaves of my
father?" Allah's Apostle realized that he was drunk, so Allah's Apostle
retreated, and we went out with him.

Narrated 'Aisha: (mother of the believers) After the
death of Allah 's Apostle Fatima the daughter of Allah's Apostle asked Abu
Bakr As-Siddiq to give her, her share of inheritance from what Allah's
Apostle had left of the Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting) which Allah
had given him. Abu Bakr said to her, "Allah's Apostle said, 'Our property
will not be inherited, whatever we (i.e. prophets) leave is Sadaqa (to be
used for charity)." Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle got angry and
stopped speaking to Abu Bakr, and continued assuming that attitude till she
died. Fatima remained alive for six months after the death of Allah's
Apostle. She used to ask Abu Bakr for her share from the property of Allah's
Apostle which he left at Khaibar, and Fadak, and his property at Medina
(devoted for charity). Abu Bakr refused to give her that property and said,
"I will not leave anything Allah's Apostle used to do, because I am afraid
that if I left something from the Prophet's tradition, then I would go
astray." (Later on) Umar gave the Prophet's property (of Sadaqa) at Medina
to 'Ali and 'Abbas, but he withheld the properties of Khaibar and Fadak in
his custody and said, "These two properties are the Sadaqa which Allah's
Apostle used to use for his expenditures and urgent needs. Now their
management is to be entrusted to the ruler." (Az-Zuhrl said, "They have been
managed in this way till today.")

Narrated Malik bin Aus: While I was at home, the sun rose
high and it got hot. Suddenly the messenger of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab came to
me and said, "The chief of the believers has sent for you." So, I went along
with him till I entered the place where 'Umar was sitting on a bedstead made
of date-palm leaves and covered with no mattress, and he was leaning over a
leather pillow. I greeted him and sat down. He said, "O Malik! Some persons
of your people who have families came to me and I have ordered that a gift
should be given to them, so take it and distribute it among them." I said,
"O chief of the believers! I wish that you order someone else to do it." He
said, "O man! Take it." While I was sitting there with him, his doorman
Yarfa' came saying, "'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf, Az-Zubair and Sad bin
Abi Waqqas are asking your permission (to see you); may I admit them?" 'Umar
said, "Yes", So they were admitted and they came in, greeted him, and sat
down. After a while Yarfa' came again and said, "May I admit 'Ali and
'Abbas?" 'Umar said, "yes." So, they were admitted and they came in and
greeted (him) and sat down. Then 'Abbas said, "O chief of the believers!
Judge between me and this (i.e. 'Ali)." They had a dispute regarding the
property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His Apostle as Fai. The
group (i.e. 'Uthman and his companions) said, "O chief of the believers!
Judge between them and relieve both of them front each other." 'Umar said,
"Be patient! I beseech you by Allah by Whose Permission the Heaven and the
Earth exist, do you know that Allah's Apostle said, 'Our (i.e. prophets')
property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave, is Sadaqa (to be used
for charity),' and Allah's Apostle meant himself (by saying "we'')?" The
group said, "He said so." 'Umar then turned to 'Ali and 'Abbas and said, "I
beseech you by Allah, do you know that Allah's Apostle said so?" They
replied, " He said so." 'Umar then said, "So, I will talk to you about this
matter. Allah bestowed on His Apostle with a special favor of something of
this Fai (booty) which he gave to nobody else." 'Umar then recited the Holy
Verses: "What Allah bestowed as (Fai) Booty on his Apostle (Muhammad) from
them --- for this you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry: But
Allah gives power to His Apostles over whomever He will 'And Allah is able
to do all things." 9:6) 'Umar added "So this property was especially given
to Allah's Apostle, but, by Allah, neither did he take possession of it and
leave your, nor did he favor himself with it to your exclusion, but he gave
it to all of you and distributed it amongst you till this property remained
out of it. Allah's Apostle used to spend the yearly expenses of his family
out of this property and used to keep the rest of its revenue to be spent on
Allah 's Cause. Allah 's Apostle kept on doing this during all his lifetime.
I ask you by Allah do you know this?" They replies in the affirmative. 'Umar
then said to 'Ali and 'Abbas. "I ask you by Allah, do you know this?" 'Umar
added, "When Allah had taken His Prophet unto Him, 'Abu Bakr said, 'I am the
successor of Allah's Apostle so, Abu Bakr took over that property and
managed it in the same way as Allah's Apostle used to do, and Allah knows
that he was true, pious and rightly-guided, and he was a follower of what
was right. Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him and I became Abu Bakr's
successor, and I kept that property in my possession for the first two years
of my Caliphate, managing it in the same way as Allah's Apostle used to do
and as Abu Bakr used to do, and Allah knows that I have been true, pious,
rightly guided, and a follower of what is right. Now you both (i.e. 'Ah and
'Abbas) came to talk to me, bearing the same claim and presenting the same
case; you, 'Abbas, came to me asking for your share from your nephew's
property, and this man, i.e. 'Ali, came to me asking for his wife's share
from her father's property. I told you both that Allah's Apostle said, 'Our
(prophets') properties are not to be inherited, but what we leave is Sadaqa
(to be used for charity).' When I thought it right that I should hand over
this property to you, I said to you, 'I am ready to hand over this property
to you if you wish, on the condition that you would take Allah's Pledge and
Convention that you would manage it in the same way as Allah's Apostle used
to, and as Abu Bakr used to do, and as I have done since I was in charge of
it.' So, both of you said (to me), 'Hand it over to us,' and on that
condition I handed it over to you. So, I ask you by Allah, did I hand it
over to them on this condition?" The group aid, "Yes." Then 'Umar faced 'Ali
and Abbas saying, "I ask you by Allah, did I hand it over to you on this
condition?" They said, "Yes. " He said, " Do you want now to give a
different decision? By Allah, by Whose Leave both the Heaven and the Earth
exist, I will never give any decision other than that (I have already
given). And if you are unable to manage it, then return it to me, and I will
do the job on your behalf."

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The delegates of the tribe of
'Abdul-Qais came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are from the tribe of
Rabi'a, and there is the infidels of the tribe of Mudar intervening between
you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the Sacred Months. So please
order us some instructions that we may apply it to ourselves and also invite
our people whom we left behind us to observe as well." The Prophet said, "I
order you (to do) four (things) and forbid you (to do) four: I order you to
believe in Allah, that is, to testify that None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah (the Prophet pointed with his hand); to offer prayers
perfectly; to pay Zakat; to fast the month of Ramadan, and to pay the Khumus
(i.e. one-fifth) of the war booty to Allah and I forbid you to use
Ad-dubba', An-Naqir, Al-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat (i.e. utensils used for
preparing alcoholic drinks)." (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1).

gate of the Mosque close to the door (of the house) of Um Salama, the wife
of the Prophet, two Ansari men passed by them and greeted Allah's Apostle
and then went away. Allah's Apostle addressed them saying, "Don't hurry!
(She is my wife)," They said, "Glorified be Allah! O Allah's Apostle (You
are far away from any suspicion)," and his saying was hard on them. Allah's
Apostle said, "Satan circulates in the mind of a person as blood does (in
his body). I was afraid that Satan might put some (evil) thoughts in your
minds."

because of the corresponding foster-relations."

satisfy?" 'Ali said, "No." Al-Miswar said, Will you give me the sword of
Allah's Apostle for I am afraid that people may take it from you by force?
By Allah, if you give it to me, they will never be able to take it till I
die." When Ali bin Abu Talib demanded the hand of the daughter of Abi Jahal
to be his wife besides Fatima, I heard Allah's Apostle on his pulpit
delivering a sermon in this connection before the people, and I had then
attained my age of puberty. Allah's Apostle said, "Fatima is from me, and I
am afraid she will be subjected to trials in her religion (because of
jealousy)." The Prophet then mentioned one of his son-in-law who was from
the tribe of 'Abu Shams, and he praised him as a good son-in-law, saying,
"Whatever he said was the truth, and he promised me and fulfilled his
promise. I do not make a legal thing illegal, nor do I make an illegal thing
legal, but by Allah, the daughter of Allah's Apostle and the daughter of the
enemy of Allah, (i.e. Abu Jahl) can never get together (as the wives of one
man) (See Hadith No. 76, Vo. 5).

of spending the Sadaqa of Allah's Apostle so order your Zakat officials to
act accordingly." I took the document to 'Uthman. 'Uthman said, "Take it
away, for we are not in need of it." I returned to 'Ali with it and informed
him of that. He said, "Put it whence you took it." Narrated Muhammad bin

need. When the Prophet came, Aisha informed him of that. The Prophet came to
our house when we had gone to our beds. (On seeing the Prophet) we were
going to get up, but he said, 'Keep at your places,' I felt the coolness of
the Prophet's feet on my chest. Then he said, "Shall I tell you a thing
which is better than what you asked me for? When you go to your beds, say:
'Allahu Akbar (i.e. Allah is Greater)' for 34 times, and 'Alhamdu Lillah
(i.e. all the praises are for Allah)' for 33 times, and Subhan Allah (i.e.
Glorified be Allah) for 33 times. This is better for you than what you have
requested."

have begotten a boy whom I named Al-Qasim and the Ansar said, 'We will never
call you Abu-al-Qasim, nor will we please you with this title.' " The

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A prophet
amongst the prophets carried out a holy military expedition, so he said to
his followers, 'Anyone who has married a woman and wants to consummate the
marriage, and has not done so yet, should not accompany me; nor should a man
who has built a house but has not completed its roof; nor a man who has
sheep or shecamels and is waiting for the birth of their young ones.' So,
the prophet carried out the expedition and when he reached that town at the
time or nearly at the time of the 'Asr prayer, he said to the sun, 'O sun!
You are under Allah's Order and I am under Allah's Order O Allah! Stop it
(i.e. the sun) from setting.' It was stopped till Allah made him victorious.
Then he collected the booty and the fire came to burn it, but it did not
burn it. He said (to his men), 'Some of you have stolen something from the
booty. So one man from every tribe should give me a pledge of allegiance by
shaking hands with me.' (They did so and) the hand of a man got stuck over
the hand of their prophet. Then that prophet said (to the man), 'The theft
has been committed by your people. So all the persons of your tribe should
give me the pledge of allegiance by shaking hands with me.' The hands of two
or three men got stuck over the hand of their prophet and he said, "You have
committed the theft.' Then they brought a head of gold like the head of a
cow and put it there, and the fire came and consumed the booty. The Prophet
added: Then Allah saw our weakness and disability, so he made booty legal
for us."

said, "He who fights so that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior,
fights for Allah's Cause."

gate and said (to his son). "Call him (i.e. the Prophet) to me." The Prophet
heard his voice, took a silken cloak and brought it to him, placing those
golden buttons in front of him saying, "O Abu-al-Miswar! I have kept this
aside for you! O Abu-al Miswar! I have kept this aside for you!" Makhrama
was a bad-tempered man.

Volume 4, Book 53, Number 358:
|
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair: When Az-Zubair got up
during the battle of Al-Jamal, he called me and I stood up beside him, and
he said to me, "O my son! Today one will be killed either as an oppressor or
as an oppressed one. I see that I will be killed as an oppressed one. My
biggest worry is my debts. Do you think, if we pay the debts, there will be
something left for us from our money?" Az-Zubair added, "O my son! Sell our
property and pay my debts." Az-Zubair then willed one-third of his property
and willed one-third of that portion to his sons; namely, 'Abdullah's sons.
He said, "One-third of the one third. If any property is left after the
payment of the debts, one-third (of the one-third of what is left) is to be
given to your sons." (Hisham, a sub-narrator added, "Some of the sons of
'Abdullah were equal in age to the sons of Az-Zubair e.g. Khubaib and
'Abbas. 'Abdullah had nine sons and nine daughters at that time." (The
narrator 'Abdullah added:) My father (Az-Zubair) went on drawing my
attention to his debts saying, "If you should fail to pay part of the debts,
appeal to my Master to help you." By Allah! I could not understand what he
meant till I asked, "O father! Who is your Master?" He replied, "Allah (is
my Master)." By Allah, whenever I had any difficulty regarding his debts, I
would say, "Master of Az-Zubair! Pay his debts on his behalf ." and Allah
would (help me to) pay it. Az-Zubair was martyred leaving no Dinar or Dirham
but two pieces of land, one of which was (called) Al-Ghaba, and eleven
houses in Medina, two in Basra, one in Kufa and one in Egypt. In fact, the
source of the debt which he owed was, that if somebody brought some money to
deposit with him. Az Zubair would say, "No, (i won't keep it as a trust),
but I take it as a debt, for I am afraid it might be lost." Az-Zubair was
never appointed governor or collector of the tax of Kharaj or any other
similar thing, but he collected his wealth (from the war booty he gained)
during the holy battles he took part in, in the company of the Prophet, Abu
Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Uthman. ('Abdullah bin Az-Zubair added:) When I counted
his debt, it turned to be two million and two hundred thousand. (The
sub-narrator added:) Hakim bin Hizam met Abdullah bin Zubair and asked, "O
my nephew! How much is the debt of my brother?" 'Abdullah kept it as a
secret and said, "One hundred thousand," Hakim said, "By Allah! I don't
think your property will cover it." On that 'Abdullah said to him, "What if
it is two million and two hundred thousand?" Hakim said, "I don't think you
can pay it; so if you are unable to pay all of it, I will help you."
Az-Zubair had already bought Al-Ghaba for one hundred and seventy thousand.
'Abdullah sold it for one million and six hundred thousand. Then he called
the people saying, "Any person who has any money claim on Az-Zubair should
come to us in Al-Ghaba." There came to him 'Abdullah bin Ja'far whom
Az-Zubair owed four hundred thousand. He said to 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair,
"If you wish I will forgive you the debt." 'Abdullah (bin Az-Zubair) said,
"No." Then Ibn Ja'far said, "If you wish you can defer the payment if you
should defer the payment of any debt." Ibn Az-Zubair said, "No." 'Abdullah
bin Ja'far said, "Give me a piece of the land." 'Abdullah bin AzZubair said
(to him), "Yours is the land extending from this place to this place." So,
'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair sold some of the property (including the houses) and
paid his debt perfectly, retaining four and a half shares from the land
(i.e. Al-Ghaba). He then went to Mu'awlya while 'Amr bin 'Uthman, Al-Mundhir
bin Az-Zubair and Ibn Zam'a were sitting with him. Mu'awiya asked, "At what
price have you appraised Al-Ghaba?" He said, "One hundred thousand for each
share," Muawiya asked, "How many shares have been left?" 'Abdullah replied,
"Four and a half shares." Al-Mundhir bin Az-Zubair said, "I would like to
buy one share for one hundred thousand." 'Amr bin 'Uthman said, "I would
like to buy one share for one hundred thousand." Ibn Zam'a said, "I would
like to buy one share for one hundred thousand." Muawiya said, "How much is
left now?" 'Abdullah replied, "One share and a half." Muawiya said, "I would
like to buy it for one hundred and fifty thousand." 'Abdullah also sold his
part to Muawiya six hundred thousand. When Ibn AzZubair had paid all the
debts. Az-Zubair's sons said to him, "Distribute our inheritance among us."
He said, "No, by Allah, I will not distribute it among you till I announce
in four successive Hajj seasons, 'Would those who have money claims on
Az-Zubair come so that we may pay them their debt." So, he started to
announce that in public in every Hajj season, and when four years had
elapsed, he distributed the inheritance among the inheritors. Az-Zubair had
four wives, and after the one-third of his property was excluded (according
to the will), each of his wives received one million and two hundred
thousand. So the total amount of his property was fifty million and two
hundred thousand.

because he was married to one of the daughters of Allah's Apostle and she

(from the war booty) similar to the reward and the share of one who has
taken part in the Badr battle."

Narrated Marwan bin Al-Hakim and Miswar bin Makhrama:
When the Hawazin delegation came to Allah's Apostle after they had embraced
Islam and requested him to return their properties and war prisoners to
them, Allah's Apostle said, "To me the best talk is the truest, so you may
choose either of two things; the war prisoners or the wealth, for I have
delayed their distribution." Allah's Apostle had waited for them for over
ten days when he returned from Ta'if. So, when those people came to know
that Allah's Apostle was not going to return to them except one of the two
things the said, "We choose our war Prisoners 'Allah's Apostle stood up
amongst the Muslims, and after glorifying Allah as He deserved, he said,
"Now then, these brothers of yours have come to us with repentance, and I
see it logical that I should return their captives to them, so whoever of
you likes to do that as a favor then he can do it, and whoever amongst you
likes to stick to his share, let him give up his prisoners and we will
compensate him from the very first Fai' (i.e. war booty received without
fight) which Allah will give us." On that, all the people said. 'O Allah's
Apostles We have agreed willingly to do so (return the captives)" Then
Allah's Apostle said to them "I do not know who amongst you has agreed to
this and who has not. You should return and let your leaders inform me of
your agreement." The people returned and their leaders spoke to them, and
then came to Allah's Apostle and said, "All the people have agreed willingly
to do so and have given the permission to return the war prisoners (without
Compensation)" (Az-Zuhri, the sub-narrator states) This is what has been
related to us about the captives of Hawazin.

Narrated Zahdam: Once we were in the house of Abu Musa
who presented a meal containing cooked chicken. A man from the tribe of Bani
Taim Allah with red complexion as if he were from the Byzantine war
prisoners, was present. Abu Musa invited him to share the meal but he
(apologised) saying. "I saw chickens eating dirty things and so I have had a
strong aversion to eating them, and have taken an oath that I will not eat
chickens." Abu Musa said, "Come along, I will tell you about this matter
(i.e. how to cancel one's oat ). I went to the Prophet in the company of a
group of Al-Ashariyin, asked him to provide us with means of conveyance. He
said, 'By Allah, I will not provide you with any means of conveyance and I
have nothing to make you ride on.' Then some camels as booty were brought to
Allah's Apostle and he asked for us saying. 'Where are the group of
Al-Ash'ariyun?' Then he ordered that we should be given five camels with
white humps. When we set out we said, 'What have we done? We will never be
blessed (with what we have been given).' So, we returned to the Prophet and
said, 'We asked you to provide us with means of conveyance, but you took an
oath that you would not provide us with any means of conveyance. Did you
forget (your oath when you gave us the camels)? He replied. 'I have not
provided you with means of conveyance, but Allah has provided you with it,
and by Allah, Allah willing, if ever I take an oath to do something, and
later on I find that it is more beneficial to do something different, I will
do the thing which is better, and give expiation for my oath."

the Prophet while we were in Yemen, so we set out migrating to him. We were,
I and my two brothers, I being the youngest, and one of my brothers was Abu
Burda and the other was Abu Ruhm. We were over fifty (or fifty-three or
fifty two) men from our people. We got on board a ship which took us to
An-Najashi in Ethiopia, and there we found Ja'far bin Abu Talib and his
companions with An-Najaishi. Ja'far said (to us), "Allah's Apostle has sent
us here and ordered us to stay here, so you too, stay with us." We stayed
with him till we all left (Ethiopia) and met the Prophet at the time when he
had conquered Khaibar. He gave us a share from its booty (or gave us from
its booty). He gave only to those who had taken part in the Ghazwa with him.
but he did not give any share to any person who had not participated in
Khaibar's conquest except the people of our ship, besides Ja'far and his
companions, whom he gave a share as he did them (i.e. the people of the
ship).

Narrated Jabir: Allah's Apostle said (to me), "If the
property of Bahrain had come to us, I would have given you so much and so
much." But the Bahrain property did not come till the Prophet had died. When
the Bahrain property came. Abu Bakr ordered somebody to announce, "Any
person who has money claim on Allah's Apostle or whom Allah's Apostle had
promised something, should come to us." So, I went to him and said, "Allah's
Apostle had promised to give me so much an so much." Abu Bakr scooped up
money with both hands thrice for me." (The sub-narrator Sufyan illustrated
this action by scooping up with both hands and said, "Ibn Munkadir, another
sub-narrator, used to illustrate it in this way.") Narrated Jabir: Once I
went to Abu Bakr and asked for the money but he did not give me, and I went
to him again, but he did not give me, so I went to him for the third time
and said, "I asked you, but you did not give me; then I asked you (for the
second time) and you did not give me; then I asked you (for the third time)
but you did not give me. You should either give me or allow yourself to be
considered a miser regarding my case." Abu Bakr said, "You tell me that I am
a miser with regard to you. But really, whenever I rejected your request, I
had the inclination to give you." (In another narration Jabir added:) So,
Abu Bakr scooped up money with both hands for me and asked me to count it. I
found out that It was five hundred. Abu Bakr told me to take twice that
amount.

to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have given to Bani
Al-Muttalib and left us although they and we are of the same kinship to
you." Allah's Apostle said, "Bani Muttalib and Bani Hashim are one and the
same." The Prophet did not give a share to Bani Abd Shams and Bani Naufai.
(Ibn Ishaq said, "Abd Shams and Hashim and Al-Muttalib were maternal
brothers and their mother was 'Atika bint Murra and Naufal was their
paternal brother.)

Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf: While I was standing in
the row on the day (of the battle) of Badr, I looked to my right and my left
and saw two young Ansari boys, and I wished I had been stronger than they.
One of them called my attention saying, "O Uncle! Do you know Abu Jahl?" I
said, "Yes, What do you want from him, O my nephew?" He said, "I have been
informed that he abuses Allah's Apostle. By Him in Whose Hands my life is,
if I should see him, then my body will not leave his body till either of us
meet his fate." I was astonished at that talk. Then the other boy called my
attention saying the same as the other had said. After a while I saw Abu
Jahl walking amongst the people. I said (to the boys), "Look! This is the
man you asked me about." So, both of them attacked him with their swords and
struck him to death and returned to Allah'S Apostle to inform him of that.
Allah's Apostle asked, "Which of you has killed him?" Each of them said, "I
Have killed him." Allah's Apostle asked, "Have you cleaned your swords?"
They said, "No. " He then looked at their swords and said, "No doubt, you
both have killed him and the spoils of the deceased will be given to Muadh
bin Amr bin Al-Jamuh." The two boys were Muadh bin 'Afra and Muadh bin Amr
bin Al-Jamuh.

Narrated Abu Qatada: We set out in the company of Allah's
Apostle on the day (of the battle) of Hunain. When we faced the enemy, the
Muslims retreated and I saw a pagan throwing himself over a Muslim. I turned
around and came upon him from behind and hit him on the shoulder with the
sword He (i.e. the pagan) came towards me and seized me so violently that I
felt as if it were death itself, but death overtook him and he released me.
I followed 'Umar bin Al Khattab and asked (him), "What is wrong with the
people (fleeing)?" He replied, "This is the Will of Allah," After the people
returned, the Prophet sat and said, "Anyone who has killed an enemy and has
a proof of that, will posses his spoils." I got up and said, "Who will be a
witness for me?" and then sat down. The Prophet again said, "Anyone who has
killed an enemy and has proof of that, will possess his spoils." I (again)
got up and said, "Who will be a witness for me?" and sat down. Then the
Prophet said the same for the third time. I again got up, and Allah's
Apostle said, "O Abu Qatada! What is your story?" Then I narrated the whole
story to him. A man (got up and) said, "O Allah's Apostle! He is speaking
the truth, and the spoils of the killed man are with me. So please
compensate him on my behalf." On that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said, "No, by
Allah, he (i.e. Allah's Apostle ) will not agree to give you the spoils
gained by one of Allah's Lions who fights on the behalf of Allah and His
Apostle." The Prophet said, "Abu Bakr has spoken the truth." So, Allah's
Apostle gave the spoils to me. I sold that armor (i.e. the spoils) and with
its price I bought a garden at Bani Salima, and this was my first property
which I gained after my conversion to Islam.

Narrated Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Hakim bin Hizam said, "I
asked Allah's Apostle for something, and he gave me. I asked him again, and
he gave me, and said to me. 'O Hakim! This wealth is like green sweet (i.e.
fruit), and if one takes it without greed, then one is blessed in it, and if
one takes it with greediness, then one is not blessed in it, and will be
like the one who eats without satisfaction. And an upper (i.e. giving) hand
is better than a lower (i.e. taking) hand,' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! By
Him Who has sent you with the Truth. I will not ask anyone for anything
after you till I leave this world." So, when Abu Bakr during his Caliphate,
called Hakim to give him (some money), Hakim refused to accept anything from
him. Once 'Umar called him (during his Caliphate) in order to give him
something, but Hakim refused to accept it, whereupon 'Umar said, "O Muslims!
I give him (i.e. Haklm) his right which Allah has assigned to him) from this
Fai '(booty), but he refuses to take it." So Haklm never took anything from
anybody after the Prophet till he died.

captives from the war prisoners of Hunain and he left them in some of the
houses at Mecca. When Allah's Apostle freed the captives of Hunain without
ransom, they came out walking in the streets. 'Umar said (to his son), "O
Abdullah! See what is the matter." 'Abdullah replied, "Allah's Apostle has
freed the captives without ransom." He said (to him), "Go and set free those
two slave girls." (Nafi added:) Allah's Apostle did not perform the 'Umra
from Al-Jarana, and if he had performed the 'Umra, it would not have been
hidden from 'Abdullah.

Narrated 'Amr bin Taghlib: Allah's Apostle gave (gifts)
to some people to the exclusion of some others. The latter seemed to be
displeased by that. The Prophet said, "I give to some people, lest they
should deviate from True Faith or lose patience, while I refer other people
to the goodness and contentment which Allah has put in their hearts, and
'Amr bin Taghlib is amongst them." 'Amr bin Taghlib said, "The statement of
Allah's Apostle is dearer to me than red camels." Narrated Al-Hasan: 'Amr
bin Taghlib told us that Allah's Apostle got some property or some war
prisoners and he distributed them in the above way (i.e. giving to some

men said about Allah's Apostle, "May Allah forgive His Apostle! He is giving
to (men of) Quraish and leaves us, in spite of the fact that our swords are
still dropping blood (of the infidels)" When Allah's Apostle was informed of
what they had said, he called the Ansar and gathered them in a leather tent
and did not call anybody else along, with them. When they gathered, Allah's
Apostle came to them and said, "What is the statement which, I have been
informed, and that which you have said?" The learned ones among them
replied," O Allah's Apostle! The wise ones amongst us did not say anything,
but the youngsters amongst us said, 'May Allah forgive His Apostle; he gives
the Quarish and leaves the Ansar, in spite of the fact that our swords are
still dribbling (wet) with the blood of the infidels.' " Allah's Apostle
replied, I give to such people as are still close to the period of
Infidelity (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam and Faith is still weak
in their hearts). Won't you be pleased to see people go with fortune, while
you return with Allah's Apostle to your houses? By Allah, what you will
return with, is better than what they are returning with." The Ansar
replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle, we are satisfied' Then the Prophet said to
them." You will find after me, others being preferred to you. Then be
patient till you meet Allah and meet His Apostle at Al-Kauthar (i.e. a fount
in Paradise)." (Anas added:) But we did not remain patient.

Apostle who was accompanied by the people on their way back from Hunain, the
bedouins started begging things of Allah's Apostle so much so that they
forced him to go under a Samura tree where his loose outer garment was
snatched away. On that, Allah's Apostle stood up and said to them, "Return
my garment to me. If I had as many camels as these trees, I would have
distributed them amongst you; and you will not find me a miser or a liar or
a coward."

Narrated Anas bin Malik: While I was walking with the
Prophet who was wearing a Najrani outer garment with a thick hem, a bedouin
came upon the Prophet and pulled his garment so violently that I could
recognize the impress of the hem of the garment on his shoulder, caused by
the violence of his pull. Then the bedouin said, "Order for me something
from Allah's Fortune which you have." The Prophet turned to him and smiled,
and ordered that a gift be given to him.

exclusion of others); he gave Al-Aqra' bin Habis one-hundred camels and he
gave 'Uyaina the same amount, and also gave to some of the eminent Arabs,
giving them preference in this regard. Then a person came and said, "By
Allah, in this distribution justice has not been observed, nor has Allah's
Pleasure been aimed at." I said (to him), "By Allah, I will inform the
Prophet (of what you have said), "I went and informed him, and he said, "If
Allah and His Apostle did not act justly, who else would act justly. May
Allah be merciful to Moses, for he was harmed with more than this, yet he
kept patient."

Jews and Christians from the land of Hijaz. Allah's Apostle after conquering
Khaibar, thought of expelling the Jews from the land which, after he
conquered it belonged to Allah, Allah's Apostle and the Muslims. But the
Jews requested Allah's Apostle to leave them there on the condition that
they would do the labor and get half of the fruits (the land would yield).
Allah's Apostle said, "We shall keep you on these terms as long as we wish."
Thus they stayed till the time of 'Umar's Caliphate when he expelled them to
Taima and Ariha.

Narrated Ibn Abi Aufa: We were afflicted with hunger
during the besiege of Khaibar, and when it was the day of (the battle of)
Khaibar, we slaughtered the donkeys and when the pots got boiling (with
their meat). Allah's Apostle made an announcement that all the pots should
be upset and that nobody should eat anything of the meat of the donkeys. We
thought that the Prophet prohibited that because the Khumus had not been
taken out of the booty (i.e. donkeys); other people said, "He prohibited
eating them for ever." The sub-narrator added, "I asked Said bin Jubair who
said, 'He has made the eating of donkeys' meat illegal for ever.")

sitting at the steps of Zam-zam well and Bajala said, "I was the clerk of
Juz bin Muawiya, Al-Ahnaf's paternal uncle. A letter came from 'Umar bin
Al-Khattab one year before his death; and it was read:-- "Cancel every
marriage contracted among the Magians between relatives of close kinship
(marriages that are regarded illegal in Islam: a relative of this sort being
called Dhu-Mahram.)" 'Umar did not take the Jizya from the Magian infidels

Allah's Apostle sent Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarreh to Bahrain to collect the
Jizya. Allah's Apostle had established peace with the people of Bahrain and
appointed Al-'Ala' bin Al-Hadrami as their governor. When Abu 'Ubaida came
from Bahrain with the money, the Ansar heard of Abu 'Ubaida's arrival which
coincided with the time of the morning prayer with the Prophet. When Allah's
Apostle led them in the morning prayer and finished, the Ansar approached
him, and he looked at them and smiled on seeing them and said, "I feel that
you have heard that Abu. 'Ubaida has brought something?" They said, "Yes, O
Allah's Apostle' He said, "Rejoice and hope for what will please you! By
Allah, I am not afraid of your poverty but I am afraid that you will lead a
life of luxury as past nations did, whereupon you will compete with each
other for it, as they competed for it, and it will destroy you as it
destroyed them."

Volume 4, Book 53, Number 386:

Narrated Jubair bin Haiya: 'Umar sent the Muslims to the
great countries to fight the pagans. When Al-Hurmuzan embraced Islam, 'Umar
said to him. "I would like to consult you regarding these countries which I
intend to invade." Al-Hurmuzan said, "Yes, the example of these countries
and their inhabitants who are the enemies. of the Muslims, is like a bird
with a head, two wings and two legs; If one of its wings got broken, it
would get up over its two legs, with one wing and the head; and if the other
wing got broken, it would get up with two legs and a head, but if its head
got destroyed, then the two legs, two wings and the head would become
useless. The head stands for Khosrau, and one wing stands for Caesar and the
other wing stands for Faris. So, order the Muslims to go towards Khosrau."
So, 'Umar sent us (to Khosrau) appointing An-Numan bin Muqrin as our
commander. When we reached the land of the enemy, the representative of
Khosrau came out with forty-thousand warriors, and an interpreter got up
saying, "Let one of you talk to me!" Al-Mughira replied, "Ask whatever you
wish." The other asked, "Who are you?" Al-Mughira replied, "We are some
people from the Arabs; we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life: we used to
suck the hides and the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made
up of fur of camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones.
While we were in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths,
Elevated is His Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from
among ourselves a Prophet whose father and mother are known to us. Our
Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you
worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has
informed us that our Lord says:-- "Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e.
martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has
never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your master."
(Al-Mughira, then blamed An-Numan for delaying the attack and) An-Nu' man
said to Al-Mughira, "If you had participated in a similar battle, in the
company of Allah's Apostle he would not have blamed you for waiting, nor
would he have disgraced you. But I accompanied Allah's Apostle in many
battles and it was his custom that if he did not fight early by daytime, he
would wait till the wind had started blowing and the time for the prayer was
due (i.e. after midday)."

much." When Allah's Apostle had died, the revenue of Bahrain came, and Abu
Bakr announced, " Let whoever was promised something by Allah's Apostle come
to me." So, I went to Abu Bakr and said, "Allah's Apostle said to me, 'If
the revenue of Bahrain came, I would give you this much and this. much." On
that Abu Bakr said to me, "Scoop (money) with both your hands." I scooped
money with both my hands and Abu Bakr asked me to count it. I counted it and
it was five-hundred (gold pieces). The total amount he gave me was one
thousand and five hundred (gold pieces.) Narrated Anas: Money from Bahrain
was brought to the Prophet . He said, "Spread it in the Mosque." It was the
biggest amount that had ever been brought to Allah's Apostle . In the
meantime Al-'Abbas came to him and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Give me, for I
gave the ransom of myself and Aqil." The Prophet said (to him), "Take." He
scooped money with both hands and poured it in his garment and tried to lift
it, but he could not and appealed to the Prophet, "Will you order someone to
help me in lifting it?" The Prophet said, "No." Then Al-'Abbas said, "Then
will you yourself help me carry it?" The Prophet said, "No." Then Al 'Abbas
threw away some of the money, but even then he was not able to lift it, and
so he gain requested the Prophet "Will you order someone to help me carry
it?" The Prophet said, "No." Then Al-'Abbas said, "Then will you yourself
yelp me carry it?" The Prophet said, 'No." So, Al-'Abbas threw away some
more money and lifted it on his shoulder and went away. The Prophet kept on
looking at him with astonishment at his greediness till he went out of our
sight. Allah's Apostle did not get up from there till not a single Dirham
remained from that money.

saying, "Thursday! And you know not what Thursday is? After that Ibn 'Abbas
wept till the stones on the ground were soaked with his tears. On that I
asked Ibn 'Abbas, "What is (about) Thursday?" He said, "When the condition
(i.e. health) of Allah's Apostle deteriorated, he said, 'Bring me a bone of
scapula, so that I may write something for you after which you will never go
astray.'The people differed in their opinions although it was improper to
differ in front of a prophet, They said, 'What is wrong with him? Do you
think he is delirious? Ask him (to understand). The Prophet replied, 'Leave
me as I am in a better state than what you are asking me to do.' Then the
Prophet ordered them to do three things saying, 'Turn out all the pagans
from the Arabian Peninsula, show respect to all foreign delegates by giving
them gifts as I used to do.' " The sub-narrator added, "The third order was
something beneficial which either Ibn 'Abbas did not mention or he mentioned
but I forgot.'

assembled before me." The Jews were collected and the Prophet said (to
them), "I am going to ask you a question. Will you tell the truth?'' They
said, "Yes.' The Prophet asked, "Who is your father?" They replied,
"So-and-so." He said, "You have told a ie; your father is so-and-so." They
said, "You are right." He siad, "Will you now tell me the truth, if I ask
you about something?" They replied, "Yes, O AbuAl-Qasim; and if we should
tell a lie, you can realize our lie as you have done regarding our father."
On that he asked, "Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They said, "We
shall remain in the (Hell) Fire for a short period, and after that you will
replace us." The Prophet said, "You may be cursed and humiliated in it! By
Allah, we shall never replace you in it.'' Then he asked, "Will you now tell
me the truth if I ask you a question?" They said, "Yes, O Ab Li-AI-Qasim."
He asked, "Have you poisoned this sheep?" They said, "Yes." He asked, "What
made you do so?" They said, "We wanted to know if you were a liar in which
case we would get rid of you, and if you are a prophet then the poison would
not harm you."

bowing." He replied, "He is mistaken." Then Anas narrated to us that the
Prophet invoked evil on the tribe of Bani-Sulaim for one month after bowing.
' Anas Further said, "The Prophet had sent 40 or 70 Qaris (i.e. men well
versed in the knowledge of the Qur'an) to some pagans, but the latter
struggled with them and martyred them, although there was a peace pact
between them and the Prophet I had never seen the Prophet so sorry and
worried about anybody as he was about them (i.e. the Qaris)."

bath, and his daughter Fatima was screening him. I greeted him and he asked,
"Who is that?" I said, "I, Um Hani bint Abi Talib." He said, "Welcome, O Um
Hani." When he had finished his bath, he stood up and offered eight Rakat
while dressed in one garment. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! My brother 'Ali
has declared that he will kill a man to whom I have granted asylum. The man
is so and-so bin Hubaira." Allah's Apostle said, "O Um Hani! We will grant
asylum to the one whom you have granted asylum." (Um Hani said, "That
(visit) took place in the Duha (i.e. forenoon)).

written in this paper which contains verdicts regarding (retaliation for)
wounds, the ages of the camels (given as Zakat or as blood money) and the
fact that Medina is a sanctuary in between Air mountain to so-and-so
(mountain). So, whoever innovates in it an heresy or commits a sin or gives
shelter in it, to such an innovator will incur the Curse of Allah, the
angels and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds
of worship will be accepted. And whoever (freed slave) takes as his master
(i.e. befriends) other than his real masters will incur the same (Curse).
And the asylum granted by any Muslim is to be secured by all the other
Muslims, and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect will incur the same
(Curse)."

Narrated Sahl bin Abi Hathma: 'Abdullah bin Sahl and
Muhaiyisa bin Mas'ud bin Zaid set out to Khaibar, the inhabitants of which
had a peace treaty with the Muslims at that time. They parted and later on
Muhaiyisa came upon 'Abdullah bin Sah! and found him murdered agitating in
his blood. He buried him and returned to Medina. 'Abdur Rahman bin Sahl,
Muhaiyisa and Huwaiuisa, the sons of Mas'ud came to the Prophet and 'Abdur
Rahman intended to talk, but the Prophet said (to him), "Let the eldest of
you speak." as 'Abdur-Rahman was the youngest:. 'Abdur-Rahman kept silent
and the other two spoke. The Prophet said, "If you swear as to who has
committed the murder, you will have the right to take your right from the
murderer." They said, "How should we swear if we did not witness the murder
or see the murderer?" The Prophet said, "Then the Jews can clear themselves
from the charge by taking Alaska (an oath taken by men that it was not they
who committed the murder)." The!y said, "How should we believe in the oaths
of infidels?" So, the Prophet himself paid the blood money (of 'Abdullah).

Jerusalem, a plague that will afflict you (and kill you in great numbers) as
the plague that afflicts sheep, the increase of wealth to such an extent
that even if one is given one hundred Dinars, he will not be satisfied; then
an affliction which no Arab house will escape, and then a truce between you

slaughtering of animals for sacrifice), sent me in the company of others to
make this announcement: "After this year, no pagan will be allowed to
perform the Hajj, and none will be allowed to perform the Tawaf of the Ka'ba
undressed." And the day of Al-Hajj-ul-Akbar is the day of Nahr, and it
called Al-Akbar because the people call the 'Umra Al-Hajj-ul-Asghar (i.e.
the minor Hajj). Abu Bakr threw back the pagans' covenant that year, and
therefore, no pagan performed the Hajj in the year of Hajj-ul-Wada' of the
Prophets.

therefore, whoever innovates (in it) an heresy or commits a sin, or gives
shelter to such an innovator, will incur the Curse of Allah. the angels and
all the people; and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds of worship
will be accepted And the asylum granted by any Muslim Is to be secured by
all the Muslims even if it is granted by one of the lowest social status
among them. And whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect will incur the
Curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compulsory and
optional good deeds of worship will not be accepted. And any freed slave
will take as masters (befriends) people other than his own real masters who
freed him without taking the permission of the latter, will incur the Curse
of Allah, the angels and all the people, and his compulsory and optional
good deeds of worship will not be accepted." Narrated Said: Abu Huraira once
said (to the people), "What will your state be when you can get no Dinar or
Dirhan (i.e. taxes from the Dhimmis)?" on that someone asked him, "What
makes you know that this state will take place, O Abu- Hu raira?" He said,
"By Him in Whose Hands Abu Huraira's life is, I know it through the
statement of the true and truly inspired one (i.e. the Prophet)." The people
asked, "What does the Statement say?" He replied, "Allah and His Apostle's
asylum granted to Dhimmis, i.e. non-Muslims living in a Muslim territory)
will be outraged, and so Allah will make the hearts of these Dhimmis so
daring that they will refuse to pay the Jizya they will be supposed to pay."

in the battle of Siffin?" He said, 'Yes, and I heard Sahl bin Hunaif (when
he was blamed for lack of zeal for fighting) saying, "You'd better blame
your wrong opinions. I wish you had seen me on the day of Abu Jandal. If I
had the courage to disobey the Prophet's orders, I would have done so. We
had kept out swords on our necks and shoulders, for a thing which frightened
us. And we did so, we found it easier for us, except in the case of the
above battle (of ours).' "

Narrated Abu Wail: We were in Siffin and Sahl bin Hunaif
got up and said, "O people! Blame yourselves! We were with the Prophet on
the day of Hudaibiya, and if we had been called to fight, we would have
fought. But 'Umar bin Al Khatab came and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Aren't we
in the right and our opponents in the wrongs' Allah's Apostle said, 'Yes.'
'Umar said, 'Aren't our killed persons in Paradise and their's in Hell?' He
said, 'Yes.' 'Umar said, 'Then why should we accept hard terms in matters
concerning our religion? Shall we return before Allah judges between us and
them?' Allah's Apostle said, 'O Ibn Al-Khattab! I am the Apostle of Allah
and Allah will never degrade me. Then 'Umar went to Abu Bakr and told him
the same as he had told the Prophet. On that Abu Bakr said (to 'Umar). 'He
is the Apostle of Allah and Allah will never degrade him.' Then
Surat-al-Fath (i.e. Victory) was revealed and Allah's Apostle recited it to
the end in front of 'Umar. On that 'Umar asked, 'O Allah's Apostle! Was it
(i.e. the Hudaibiya Treaty) a victory?' Allah's Apostle said, "Yes"

Narrated Al-Bara: When the Prophet intended to perform
the 'Umra he sent a person to the people of Mecca asking their permission to
enter Mecca. They stipulated that he would not stay for more than three days
and would not enter it except with sheathed arms and would not preach
(Islam) to any of them. So Ali bin Abi-Talib started writing the treaty
between them. He wrote, "This is what Muhammad, Apostle of Allah has agreed
to." The (Meccans) said, "If we knew that you (Muhammad) are the Apostle of
Allah, then we would not have prevented you and would have followed you. But
write, 'This is what Muhammad bin 'Abdullah has agreed to..' " On that
Allah's Apostle said, "By Allah, I am Muhammad bin 'Abdullah, and, by Allah,
I am Apostle of 'Allah." Allah's Apostle used not to write; so he asked 'Ali
to erase the expression of Apostle of Allah. On that 'Ali said, "By Allah I
will never erase it." Allah's Apostle said (to 'Ali), "Let me see the
paper." When 'Ali showed him the paper, the Prophet erased the expression
with his own hand. When Allah's Apostle had entered Mecca and three days had
elapsed, the Meccans came to 'Ali and said, "Let your friend (i.e. the
Prophet) quit Mecca." Ali informed Allah's Apostle about it and Allah's
Apostle said, "Yes," and then he departed.

prostration, surrounded by a group of people from Quraish pagans. 'Uqba bin
Abi Mu'ait came and brought the intestines of a camel and threw them on the
back of the Prophet . The Prophet did not raise his head from prostration
till Fatima (i.e. his daughter) came and removed those intestines from his
back, and invoked evil on whoever had done (the evil deed). The Prophet
said, "O Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, O Allah! Destroy Abu Jahl bin
Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Shaiba bin Rabi'a. 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait 'Umaiya
bin Khalaf (or Ubai bin Kalaf)." Later on I saw all of them killed during
the battle of Badr and their bodies were thrown into a well except the body
of Umaiya or Ubai, because he was a fat person, and when he was pulled, the
parts of his body got separated before he was thrown into the well.

the conquest of Mecca, "There is no migration now, but there is Jihad (i.e..
holy battle) and good intentions. And when you are called for Jihad, you
should come out at once" Allah's Apostle also said, on the day of the
conquest of Mecca, "Allah has made this town a sanctuary since the day He
created the Heavens and the Earth. So, it is a sanctuary by Allah's Decree
till the Day of Resurrection. Fighting in it was not legal for anyone before
me, and it was made legal for me only for an hour by daytime. So, it (i.e.
Mecca) is a sanctuary by Allah's Decree till the Day of Resurrection. Its
thorny bushes should not be cut, and its game should not be chased, its
fallen property (i.e. Luqata) should not be picked up except by one who will
announce it publicly; and its grass should not be uprooted," On that
Al-'Abbas said, "O Allah's Apostle! Except the Idhkhir, because it is used
by the goldsmiths and by the people for their houses." On that the Prophet
said, "Except the Idhkhir."
