Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) forbade the selling of

things by a town dweller on behalf of a desert dweller; and similarly Najsh

was forbidden. And one should not urge somebody to return the goods to the

seller so as to sell him his own goods; nor should one demand the hand of a

girl who has already been engaged to someone else; and a woman should not

try to cause some other woman to be divorced in order to take her place.

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) forbade the selling by

Munabadha, i.e. to sell one's garment by casting it to the buyer not

allowing him to examine or see it. Similarly he forbade the selling by

Mulamasa. Mulamasa is to buy a garment, for example, by merely touching it,

not looking at it.

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) came to me and I told him

about the slave-girl (Buraira). Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) said, "Buy and manumit her, for the Wala is for the one who

manumits." In the evening the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) got up

and glorified Allah as He deserved and then said, "Why do some people

impose conditions which are not present in Allah's Book (Laws)? Whoever

imposes such a condition as is not in Allah's Laws, then that condition is

invalid even if he imposes one hundred conditions, for Allah's conditions

are more binding and reliable."

Ibn 'Abbas said, "Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, 'Do

not go to meet the caravans on the way (for buying their goods without

letting them know the market price); a town dweller should not sell the

goods of a desert dweller on behalf of the latter.' I asked Ibn 'Abbas,

'What does he mean by not selling the goods of a desert dweller by a town

dweller?' He said, 'He should not become his broker.' "

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "While three persons were

walking, rain began to fall and they had to enter a cave in a mountain. A

big rock rolled over and blocked the mouth of the cave. They said to each

other, 'Invoke Allah with the best deed you have performed (so Allah might

remove the rock)'. One of them said, 'O Allah! My parents were old and I

used to go out for grazing (my animals). On my return I would milk (the

animals) and take the milk in a vessel to my parents to drink. After they

had drunk from it, I would give it to my children, family and wife. One day

I was delayed and on my return I found my parents sleeping, and I disliked

to wake them up. The children were crying at my feet (because of hunger).

That state of affairs continued till it was dawn. O Allah! If You regard

that I did it for Your sake, then please remove this rock so that we may

see the sky.' So, the rock was moved a bit.

 

The second said, 'O Allah! You know that I was in love with a cousin of

mine, like the deepest love a man may have for a woman, and she told me

that I would not get my desire fulfilled unless I paid her one-hundred

Dinars (gold pieces). So, I struggled for it till I gathered the desired

amount, and when I sat in between her legs, she told me to be afraid of

Allah, and asked me not to deflower her except rightfully (by marriage).

So, I got up and left her. O Allah! If You regard that I did if for Your

sake, kindly remove this rock.' So, two-thirds of the rock was removed.

 

Then the third man said, 'O Allah! No doubt You know that once I employed a

worker for one Faraq (three Sa's) of millet, and when I wanted to pay him,

he refused to take it, so I sowed it and from its yield I bought cows and a

shepherd. After a time that man came and demanded his money. I said to him:

Go to those cows and the shepherd and take them for they are for you. He

asked me whether I was joking with him. I told him that I was not joking

with him, and all that belonged to him. O Allah! If You regard that I did

it sincerely for Your sake, then please remove the rock.' So, the rock was

removed completely from the mouth of the cave."

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "The Prophet 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 I.' 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 slavegirl for

service."

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 Apostle

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). 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."

that his instruments (of cupping) be broken. I asked him the reason for

doing so. He replied, "Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)

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."

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Your example and the

example of the people of the two Scriptures (i.e. Jews and Christians) is

like the example of a man who employed some laborers and asked them, 'Who

will work for me from morning till midday for one Qirat?' The Jews accepted

and carried out the work. He then asked, Who will work for me from midday

up to the 'Asr prayer for one Qirat?' The Christians accepted and fulfilled

the work. He then said, 'Who will work for me from the 'Asr till sunset for

two Qirats?' You, Muslims have accepted the offer. The Jews and the

Christians got angry and said, 'Why should we work more and get lesser

wages?' (Allah) said, 'Have I with-held part of your right?' They replied

in the negative. He said, 'It is My Blessing, I bestow upon whomever I

wish.'

Narrated Khabbab (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

I was a blacksmith and did some work for Al-'As bin Wail. When he owed me

some money for my work, I went to him to ask for that amount. He said, "I

will not pay you unless you disbelieve in Muhammad." I said, "By Allah! I

will never do that till you die and be resurrected." He said, "Will I be

dead and then resurrected after my death?" I said, "Yes." He said, "There I

will have property and offspring and then I will pay you your due." Then

Allah revealed. 'Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our signs, and yet

says: I will be given property and offspring?' (19.77)

[FlasHDasH]

Narrated Abu Said (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Some of the companions of the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) went

on a journey till they reached some of the 'Arab tribes (at night). They

asked the latter to treat them as their guests but they refused. The chief

of that tribe was then bitten by a snake (or stung by a scorpion) and they

tried their best to cure him but in vain. Some of them said (to the

others), "Nothing has benefited him, will you go to the people who resided

here at night, it may be that some of them might possess something (as

treatment)," They went to the group of the companions (of the Prophet

(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)) and said, "Our chief has been bitten by a

snake (or stung by a scorpion) and we have tried everything but he has not

benefitted. Have you got anything (useful)?" One of them replied, "Yes, by

Allah! I can recite a Ruqya, but as you have refused to accept us as your

guests, I will not recite the Ruqya for you unless you fix for us some

wages for it." They agrees to pay them a flock of sheep. One of them then

went and recited (Suratul-Fatiha): 'All the praises are for the Lord of the

Worlds' and puffed over the chief who became all right as if he was

released from a chain, and got up and started walking, showing no signs of

sickness.

 

They paid them what they agreed to pay. Some of them (i.e. the companions)

then suggested to divide their earnings among themselves, but the one who

performed the recitation said, "Do not divide them till we go to the

Prophet and narrate the whole story to him, and wait for his order." So,

they went to Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and narrated

the story. Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked, "How did

you come to know that Surat-ul-Fatiha was recited as Ruqya?" Then he added,

"You have done the right thing. Divide (what you have earned) and assign a

share for me as well." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) smiled

thereupon.

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Once, while we were sitting in the company of Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi

Wa Sallam), a dead man was brought. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa

Sallam) was requested to lead the funeral prayer for the deceased. He said,

"Is he in debt?" The people replied in the negative. He said, "Has he left

any wealth?" They said, "No." So, he led his funeral prayer. Another dead

man was brought and the people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Lead his funeral

prayer." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Is he in debt?"

They said, "Yes." He said, "Has he left any wealth?" They said, ''Three

Dinars." So, he led the prayer. Then a third dead man was brought and the

people said (to the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)), Please lead

his funeral prayer." He said, "Has he left any wealth?" They said, "No." He

asked, "Is he in debt?" They said, ("Yes! He has to pay) three Dinars.', He

(refused to pray and) said, "Then pray for your (dead) companion." Abu

Qatada said, "O Allah's Apostle! Lead his funeral prayer, and I will pay

his debt." So, he led the prayer.

 

Volume 3, Book 37, Number 488r

[FlasHDasH]

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "An Israeli man asked

another Israeli to lend him one thousand Dinars. The second man required

witnesses. The former replied, 'Allah is sufficient as a witness.' The

second said, 'I want a surety.' The former replied, 'Allah is sufficient as

a surety.' The second said, 'You are right,' and lent him the money for a

certain period. The debtor went across the sea.

 

When he finished his job, he searched for a conveyance so that he might

reach in time for the repayment of the debt, but he could not find any. So,

he took a piece of wood and made a hole in it, inserted in it one thousand

Dinars and a letter to the lender and then closed (i.e. sealed) the hole

tightly. He took the piece of wood to the sea and said. 'O Allah! You know

well that I took a loan of one thousand Dinars from so-and-so. He demanded

a surety from me but I told him that Allah's Guarantee was sufficient and

he accepted Your guarantee. He then asked for a witness and I told him that

Allah was sufficient as a Witness, and he accepted You as a Witness. No

doubt, I tried hard to find a conveyance so that I could pay his money but

could not find, so I hand over this money to You.' Saying that, he threw

the piece of wood into the sea till it went out far into it, and then he

went away. Meanwhile he started searching for a conveyance in order to

reach the creditor's country.

 

One day the lender came out of his house to see whether a ship had arrived

bringing his money, and all of a sudden he saw the piece of wood in which

his money had been deposited. He took it home to use for fire. When he

sawed it, he found his money and the letter inside it. Shortly after that,

the debtor came bringing one thousand Dinars to him and said, 'By Allah, I

had been trying hard to get a boat so that I could bring you your money,

but failed to get one before the one I have come by.' The lender asked,

'Have you sent something to me?' The debtor replied, 'I have told you I

could not get a boat other than the one I have come by.' The lender said,

'Allah has delivered on your behalf the money you sent in the piece of

wood. So, you may keep your one thousand Dinars and depart guided on the

right path.' "

 

Volume 3, Book 37, Number 488h

[FlasHDasH]

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Whenever a dead man in debt was brought to Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) he would ask, "Has he left anything to repay his debt?"

If he was informed that he had left something to repay his debts, he would

offer his funeral prayer, otherwise he would tell the Muslims to offer

their friend's funeral prayer. When Allah made the Prophet (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) wealthy through conquests, he said, "I am more rightful

than other believers to be the guardian of the believers, so if a Muslim

dies while in debt, I am responsible for the repayment of his debt, and

whoever leaves wealth (after his death) it will belong to his heirs."

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) owed somebody a camel of a

certain age. When he came to demand it back, the Prophet (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said (to some people), "Give him (his due)." When the

people searched for a camel of that age, they found none, but found a camel

one year older. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Give (it

to) him." On that, the man remarked, "You have given me my right in full.

May Allah give you in full." The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam)

said, "The best amongst you is the one who pays the rights of others

generously."

[FlasHDasH]

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

 

Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) deputed me to keep Sadaqat

(al-Fitr) of Ramadan. A comer came and started taking handfuls of the

foodstuff (of the Sadaqa) (stealthily). I took hold of him and said, "By

Allah, I will take you to Allah's Apostle." He said, "I am needy and have

many dependents, and I am in great need." I released him, and in the

morning Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked me, "What did

your prisoner do yesterday?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle! The person

complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so, I pitied him

and let him go." Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said,

"Indeed, he told you a lie and he will be coming again."

 

I believed that he would show up again as Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu

'Alaihi Wa Sallam) had told me that he would return. So, I waited for him

watchfully. When he (showed up and) started stealing handfuls of foodstuff,

I caught hold of him again and said, "I will definitely take you to Allah's

Apostle. He said, "Leave me, for I am very needy and have many dependents.

I promise I will not come back again." I pitied him and let him go.

 

In the morning Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked me,

"What did your prisoner do?" I replied, "O Allah's Apostle! He complained

of his great need and of too many dependents, so I took pity on him and set

him free." Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Verily, he

told you a lie and he will return." I waited for him attentively for the

third time, and when he (came and) started stealing handfuls of the

foodstuff, I caught hold of him and said, "I will surely take you to

Allah's Apostle as it is the third time you promise not to return, yet you

break your promise and come." He said, "(Forgive me and) I will teach you

some words with which Allah will benefit you." I asked, "What are they?" He

replied, "Whenever you go to bed, recite "Ayat-al-Kursi"-- 'Allahu la ilaha

illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul Qaiyum' till you finish the whole verse. (If you do

so), Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no satan

will come near you till morning." So, I released him.

 

In the morning, Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked, "What

did your prisoner do yesterday?" I replied, "He claimed that he would teach

me some words by which Allah will benefit me, so I let him go." Allah's

Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) asked, "What are they?" I replied,

"He said to me, 'Whenever you go to bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi from the

beginning to the end ---- Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-lHaiy-ul-Qaiyum----.'

He further said to me, '(If you do so), Allah will appoint a guard for you

who will stay with you, and no satan will come near you till morning.' (Abu

Huraira or another sub-narrator) added that they (the companions) were very

keen to do good deeds. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "He

really spoke the truth, although he is an absolute liar. Do you know whom

you were talking to, these three nights, O Abu Huraira?" Abu Huraira said,

"No." He said, "It was Satan."
