she-camel. He stopped there and listened to him. He had a whip like the whip
of the teachers. I heard the Bedouin and the people saying: Keep away from the
whip. My father came up to him. He caught hold of his foot and acknowledged
him (his Prophethood). He stopped and listened to him.
He then said: I participated in the army of
Athran (in the pre-Islamic days).

Gathran. Tariq ibn al-Muraqqa' said: Who will give me a lance and get a
reward?

shall marry him to my first daughter born to me. So I gave him my lance and
then disappeared from him till I knew that a daughter was born to him and she
came of age.
I then came to him and said: Send my wife to
me. He swore that he would not do that until I fixed a dower afresh other than
that agreed between me and him, and I swore that I should not give him the
dower other than that I had given him before.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
said: How old is she now?
He said: She has grown old. He said: I think
you should leave her. He said: This put awe and fear into me, and I looked at
the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him).

not be sinful, nor will your companion be sinful.

in Allah's sight, the one of you most entitled to do so would have been the

marry any of his wives or gave any of his daughters in marriage for more than
twelve uqiyahs.

the authority of Jabir as his own statement (not going back to the Prophet).

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud:
Masruq said on the authority of Abdullah ibn
Mas'ud: Abdullah (ibn Mas'ud ) was asked about a man who had married a woman
without cohabiting with her or fixing any dower for her till he died. Ibn
Mas'ud said: She should receive the full dower (as given to women of her
class), observe the waiting period ('Iddah), and have her share of
inheritance. Thereupon Ma'qil ibn Sinan said: I heard the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) giving the same decision regarding Birwa' daughter of
Washiq (as the decision you have given).
Book 11, Number 2111:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud:
Abdullah ibn Utbah ibn Mas'ud said: Abdullah
ibn Mas'ud was informed of this story of a man. The people continued to visit
him for a month or visited him many times (the narrator was not sure).
He said: In this matter I hold the opinion
that she should receive the type of dower given to women of her class with no
diminution or excess, observe the waiting period ('iddah) and have her share
of inheritance. If it is erroneous, that is from me and from Satan. Allah and
His Apostle are free from its responsibility. Some people from Ashja' got up;
among them were al-Jarrah and AbuSinan.
They said: Ibn Mas'ud, we bear witness that
the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) gave a decision for us regarding
Birwa', daughter of Washiq, to the same effect as the decision you have given.
Her husband was Hilal ibn Murrah al-Ashja'i. Thereupon Abdullah ibn Mas'ud was
very pleased when his decision agreed with the decision of the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him).
Book 11, Number 2112:
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said to a
man: Would you like me to marry you to so-and-so?
He said: Yes. He also said to the woman:
Would you like me to marry you to so-and-so?
She said: Yes. He then married one to the
other. The man had sexual intercourse with her, but he did not fix any dower
for her, nor did he give anything to her. He was one of those who participated
in the expedition to al-Hudaybiyyah. One part of the expedition to
al-Hudaybiyyah had a share in Khaybar.
When he was nearing his death, he said: The
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) married me to so-and-so, and I did not
fix a dower for her, nor did I give anything to her. I call upon you as
witness that I have given my share in Khaybar as her dower. So she took the
share and sold it for one lakh (of dirhams).
Book 11, Number 2113:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud:
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)

Praise be to Allah from Whom we ask help and
pardon, and in Whom we take refuge from the evils within ourselves. He whom
Allah guides has no one who can lead him astray, and he whom He leads astray
has no one to guide him. I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I
testify that Muhammad is His servant and Apostle.
"You who believe,...fear Allah by Whom you
ask your mutual rights, and reverence the wombs. Allah has been watching you."
..."you who believe, fear Allah as He should be feared, and die only as
Muslims" ...."you who believe, fear Allah as He should be feared, and die only
as Muslims"....."you who believe, fear Allah and say what is true. He will
make your deeds sound, and forgive your sins. He who obeys Allah and His
Apostle has achieved a mighty success."

anyone except himself, and he does not harm Allah to the least.

Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) prohibited him to do so until he gave her

Book 11, Number 2135:
Narrated Qays ibn Sa'd:
I went to al-Hirah and saw them (the people)
prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, so I said: The Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) has most right to have prostration made before him.
When I came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), I said: I went to al-Hirah and
saw them prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, but you have most
right, Apostle of Allah, to have (people) prostrating themselves before you.
He said: Tell me , if you were to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself
before it? I said: No. He then said: Do not do so. If I were to command anyone
to make prostration before another I would command women to prostrate
themselves before their husbands, because of the special right over them given
to husbands by Allah.

Book 11, Number 2141:
Narrated Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab:
Iyas ibn Abdullah ibn AbuDhubab reported the
Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as saying: Do not beat Allah's
handmaidens, but when Umar came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
and said: Women have become emboldened towards their husbands, he (the
Prophet) gave permission to beat them. Then many women came round the family
of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) complaining against their
husbands. So the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Many women have
gone round Muhammad's family complaining against their husbands. They are not

water (meaning intercourse with women who are pregnant); it is not lawful for
a man who believes in Allah and the Last Day to have intercourse with a
captive woman till she is free from a menstrual course; and it is not lawful
for a man who believes in Allah and the Last Day to sell spoil till it is
divided.
Book 11, Number 2155:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If one
of you marries a woman or buys a slave, he should say: "O Allah, I ask Thee
for the good in her, and in the disposition Thou hast given her; I take refuge
in Thee from the evil in her, and in the disposition Thou hast given her."
When he buys a camel, he should take hold of the top of its hump and say the
same kind of thing.
Book 11, Number 2157:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: He who

Book 11, Number 2159:
Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas:
Ibn Umar misunderstood (the Qur'anic verse,
"So come to your tilth however you will")--may Allah forgive him. The fact is
that this clan of the Ansar, who were idolaters, lived in the company of the
Jews who were the people of the Book. They (the Ansar) accepted their
superiority over themselves in respect of knowledge, and they followed most of
their actions. The people of the Book (i.e. the Jews) used to have intercourse
with their women on one side alone (i.e. lying on their backs). This was the
most concealing position for (the vagina of) the women. This clan of the Ansar
adopted this practice from them. But this tribe of the Quraysh used to uncover
their women completely, and seek pleasure with them from in front and behind
and laying them on their backs.
When the muhajirun (the immigrants) came to
Medina, a man married a woman of the Ansar. He began to do the same kind of
action with her, but she disliked it, and said to him: We were approached on
one side (i.e. lying on the back); do it so, otherwise keep away from me. This
matter of theirs spread widely, and it reached the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him).
So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur'anic
verse: "Your wives are a tilth to you, so come to your tilth however you
will," i.e. from in front, from behind or lying on the back. But this verse
meant the place of the delivery of the child, i.e. the vagina.
Book 11, Number 2161:
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:
I and the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) used to lie in one cloth at night while I was
menstruating. If anything from me smeared him, he washed the same place (that
was smeared), and did not wash beyond it. If anything from him smeared his
clothe, he washed the same place and did not wash beyond that, and prayed with
it (i.e. the clothe).
Book 11, Number 2163:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said about a
man who has sexual intercourse with a menstruating woman: He should give one
or half dinar as sadaqah.
Book 11, Number 2164:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:
If a man has sexual intercourse (with
menstruating woman) during her bleeding, he should give one dinar as sadaqah,
and if he does so when bleeding has stopped, he should give half a dinar as
sadaqah.
Book 11, Number 2166:
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
A man said: Apostle of Allah, I have a
slave-girl and I withdraw the penis from her (while having intercourse), and I
dislike that she becomes pregnant. I intend (by intercourse) what the men
intend by it.
The Jews say that withdrawing the penis (azl)
is burying the living girls on a small scale. He (the Prophet) said: The Jews
told a lie. If Allah intends to create it, you cannot turn it away.
Book 11, Number 2169:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
AbuNadrah reported: An old man of Tufawah
said to me: I was a guest of AbuHurayrah at Medina. I did not find any one of
the companions of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) more devoted to worship and
more hospitable than AbuHurayrah.
One day I was with him when he was sitting on
his bed. He had a purse which contained pebbles or kernels. A black slave-girl
of his was sitting below. Counting them he was glorifying Allah. When the
pebbles or the kernels in the purse were finished, she gathered them and put
them again in the purse, and gave it to him. He said: Should I not tell you
about me and about the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)?
I said: Yes. He said: Once when I was laid up
with fever in the mosque, the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came and
entered the mosque, and said: Who saw the youth of ad-Daws. He said this three
times.
A man said: Apostle of Allah, there he is,
laid up with fever on one side of the mosque. He moved, walking forward till
he reached me. He placed his hand on me. He had a kind talk with me, and I
rose. He then began to walk till he reached the place where he used to offer
his prayer. He paid his attention to the people. There were two rows of men
and one row of women, or two rows of women and one row of men (the narrator is
doubtful).
He then said: If Satan makes me forget
anything during the prayer, the men should glorify Allah, and the women should
clap their hands. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) then prayed and he
did not forget anything during the prayer.
He said: Be seated in your places, be seated
in your places. The narrator, Musa, added the word "here". He then praised
Allah and exalted Him, and said: Now to our topic.
The agreed version begins: He then said: Is
there any man among you who approaches his wife, closes the door, covers
himself with a curtain, and he is concealed with the curtain of Allah?
They replied: Yes. He said: later he sits and
says: I did so-and-so; I did so-and-so. The people kept silence. He then
turned to the women and said (to them): Is there any woman among you who
narrates it? They kept silence. Then a girl fell on one of her knees. The
narrator, Mu'ammil, said in his version: a buxom girl. She raised her head
before the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) so that he could see her and
listen to her.
She said: Apostle of Allah, they (the men)
describe the secrets (of intercourse) and they (the women) also describe the
secrets (of intercourse) to the people.
He said: Do you know what the similitude is?
He said: The likeness of this act is the likeness of a female Satan who meets
the male Satan on the roadside; he fulfils his desire with her while the
people are looking at him. Beware! The perfume of men is that whose smell
becomes visible and its colour does not appear. Beware! The perfume of women
is that whose colour becomes visible and whose smell is not obvious.
AbuDawud said: From here I remembered this
tradition from Mu'ammil and Musa: Beware! No man should lie with another man,
no woman should lie with another woman except with one's child or father. He
also mentioned a third which I have forgotten. This has been mentioned in the
version of Musaddad, but I do not remember it as precisely as I like.
The narrator, Musa, said: Hammad narrated
this tradition from al-Jarir from AbuNadrah from at-Tufawi.
