That his father said, "One day I was sitting with some of the
Prophet's companions on the way to Mecca. Allah's Apostle was ahead of
us. All of my companions were in the state of Ihram while I was a
non-Muhrim. They saw an onager while I was busy repairing my shoes, so
they did not tell me about it but they wished I had seen it. By chance
I looked up and saw it. So, I turned to the horse, saddled it and rode
on it, forgetting to take the spear and the whip. I asked them if they
could hand over to me the whip and the spear but they said, 'No, by
Allah, we shall not help you in that in any way.' I became angry and
got down from the horse, picked up both the things and rode the horse
again. I attacked the onager and slaughtered it, and brought it (after
it had been dead). They took it (cooked some of it) and started eating
it, but they doubted whether it was allowed for them to eat it or not,
as they were in the state of Ihram. So, we proceeded and I hid with me
one of its fore-legs. When we met Allah's Apostle and asked him about
the case, he asked, 'Do you have a portion of it with you?' I replied
in the affirmative and gave him that fleshy fore-leg which he ate
completely while he was in the state of Ihram .
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 745:
Narrated Anas:
Once Allah's Apostle visited us in this house of ours and asked for
something to drink. We milked one of our sheep and mixed it with water
from this well of ours and gave it to him. Abu Bakr was sitting on his
left side and 'Umar in front of him and a bedouin on his right side.
When Allah's Apostle finished, 'Umar said to Allah's Apostle "Here is
Abu Bakr." But Allah's Apostle gave the remaining milk to the bedouin
and said twice, "The (persons on the) right side! So, start from the
right side." Anas added, "It is a Sunna (the Prophet's traditions)"
and repeated it thrice.

that. (The sub-narrator asked Anas, "Did the Prophet; eat from it?"
Anas replied, "He ate from it.")

Al-Abwa' or Waddan, but Allah's Apostle rejected it. When the Prophet

rejected your gift, but we are in the state of Ihram." (i.e. if we
were not in a state of Ihram we would have accepted your gift,

because he disliked it. Ibn 'Abbas said, "The mastigar was eaten at
the table of Allah's Apostle and if it had been illegal to eat, it
could not have been eaten at the table of Allah's Apostle."
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 750:

Whenever a meal was brought to Allah's Apostle, he would ask whether

was a gift, he would hurry to share it with them.

Narrated 'Aisha:
I intended to buy Buraira but her masters stipulated that her Wala
should be for them. When the Prophet was told about it, he said to me,
"Buy and manumit her, as the Wala' is for the liberator." Once Buraira
was given some meat, and the Prophet asked, "What is this?" I said,
"It has been given to Buraira in charity." He said, "It is sadaqa for
her but a gift for us." Buraira was given the option (to stay with her
husband or to part with him). AbdurRahman (a sub-narrator) wondered,
"Was her husband a slave or a free man?" Shu'ba (another sub-narrator)
said, "I asked 'Abdur-Rahman whether her husband was a slave or a free
man. He replied that he did not know whether he was a slave or a free
man."

that it had reached its destination (i.e. it is no longer an object of
charity.)
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 754:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The people used to send gifts to the Prophet on the day of my turn. Um
Salama said: "My companions (the wives of the Prophet Other than
Aisha) gathered and they complained about it. So I informed the
Prophet about it on their behalf, but he remained silent.
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 755:
Narrated 'Urwa from 'Aisha:
The wives of Allah's Apostle were in two groups. One group consisted
of 'Aisha, Hafsa, Safiyya and Sauda; and the other group consisted of
Um Salama and the other wives of Allah's Apostle. The Muslims knew
that Allah's Apostle loved 'Aisha, so if any of them had a gift and
wished to give to Allah's Apostle, he would delay it, till Allah's
Apostle had come to 'Aisha's home and then he would send his gift to
Allah's Apostle in her home. The group of Um Salama discussed the
matter together and decided that Um Salama should request Allah's
Apostle to tell the people to send their gifts to him in whatever
wife's house he was. Um Salama told Allah's Apostle of what they had
said, but he did not reply. Then they (those wives) asked Um Salama
about it. She said, "He did not say anything to me." They asked her to
talk to him again. She talked to him again when she met him on her
day, but he gave no reply. When they asked her, she replied that he
had given no reply. They said to her, "Talk to him till he gives you a
reply." When it was her turn, she talked to him again. He then said to
her, "Do not hurt me regarding Aisha, as the Divine Inspirations do
not come to me on any of the beds except that of Aisha." On that Um
Salama said, "I repent to Allah for hurting you." Then the group of Um
Salama called Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle and sent her to
Allah's Apostle to say to him, "Your wives request to treat them and
the daughter of Abu Bakr on equal terms." Then Fatima conveyed the
message to him. The Prophet said, "O my daughter! Don't you love whom
I love?" She replied in the affirmative and returned and told them of
the situation. They requested her to go to him again but she refused.
They then sent Zainab bint Jahsh who went to him and used harsh words
saying, "Your wives request you to treat them and the daughter of Ibn
Abu Quhafa on equal terms." On that she raised her voice and abused
'Aisha to her face so much so that Allah's Apostle looked at 'Aisha to
see whether she would retort. 'Aisha started replying to Zainab till
she silenced her. The Prophet then looked at 'Aisha and said, "She is
really the daughter of Abu Bakr."

deserved, and said, "Then after: Your brethren have come to you with
repentance and I see it logical to return to them their captives; so
whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it,
and whoever of you like to stick to his share till we give him his
right from the very first Fai (war booty) (1) which Allah will bestow

went to Allah's Apostle and said, 'I have given a gift to my son from
'Amra bint Rawaha, but she ordered me to make you as a witness to it,
O Allah's Apostle!' Allah's Apostle asked, 'Have you given (the like

ground. He was walking between Al-'Abbas and another man." 'Ubaidullah

and was in a state of Ihram. The Prophet did not accept it. When the

(i.e. the Zakat) is for you and this has been given to my as a
present." The Prophet said, "Why hadn't he stayed in his father's or
mother's house to see whether he would be given presents or not? By
Him in Whose Hands my life is, whoever takes something from the
resources of the Zakat (unlawfully) will be carrying it on his neck on
the Day of Resurrection; if it be a camel, it will be grunting; if a
cow, it will be mooing; and if a sheep, it will be bleating." The

(to them)?"

"Can you fast for two successive months continuously" He replied in
the negative. The Prophet then asked him, "Can you feed sixty poor
persons?" He replied in the negative. In the meantime an Ansari came
with a basket full of dates. The Prophet said to the man, "Take it and
give it in charity (as an expiation of your sin)." The man said
"Should I give it to some people who are poorer than we O Allah's
Apostle? By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, there is no family
between Medina's two mountains poorer than we." Allah's Apostle told
him to take it and provide his family with it."

fruits of my garden and excuse my father, but they refused. So,
Allah's Apostle did not give them the fruits, nor did he cut them and
distribute them among them, but said, "I will come to you tomorrow
morning." So, he came to us the next morning and walked about in
between the date-palms and invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I
plucked the fruits and gave back all the rights of the creditors in
full, and a lot of fruits were left for us. Then I went to Allah's
Apostle, who was sitting, and informed him about what happened.

it to him." They said, "We cannot get except a camel of an older age

amongst you is he who pays back his debt in the most handsome way.'

When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin came to the Prophet they
requested him to return their property and their captives. He said to
them, "This concerns also other people along with me as you see, and
the best statement to me is the true one, so you may choose one of two
alternatives; either the captives or the property and (I have not
distributed the booty for) I have been waiting for you."When the Prophet had returned from Ta'if, he waited for them for more
than ten nights. When they came to know that the Prophet would not
return except one of the two, they chose their captives. The Prophet
then stood up amongst the Muslims, Glorified and Praised Allah as He
deserved, and then said, "Then after: These brothers of yours have
come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return their
captives, so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he
can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to his share till we pay
him from the very first Fai (i.e. war booty) which Allah will give us,
then he can do so." The people said, "We return (the captives) to them
willingly as a favor, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "I do not
know who of you has given his consent and who has not; so go back and
your leaders may present your decision to me." The people went away,
and their leaders discussed the matter with them, and then came to the
Prophet to tell him that all of them had given their consent (to

is what we know about the captives, of Hawazin.")

Prophet bought a sheep and it was slaughtered. The Prophet ordered
that its liver and other abdominal organs be roasted. By Allah, the
Prophet gave every person of the one-hundred-and-thirty a piece of
that; he gave all those of them who were present; and kept the shares
of those who were absent.The Prophet then put its meat in two huge

similar to that one, and he sent one to 'Umar. 'Umar said to the
Prophet "How can I wear it, while you said about it what you said?"

whereas the Ansar had land and property. The Ansar gave them their
land on condition that the emigrants would give them half the yearly

cultivation." His (i.e. Anas's mother who was also the mother of
'Abdullah bin Abu Talha, gave some date-palms to Allah' Apostle who
gave them to his freed slave-girl (Um Aiman) who was also the mother
of Usama bin Zaid. When the Prophet finished from the fighting against
the people of Khaibar and returned to Medina, the emigrants returned
to the Ansar the fruit gifts which the Ansar had given them. The
Prophet also returned to Anas's mother the date-pallms. Allah's
Apostle gave Um Aiman other trees from his garden in lieu of the old
gift.

these virtuous deeds hoping for Allah's reward with firm confidence
that he will get it, then Allah will make him enter Paradise because
of Hassan (a sub-narrator) said, "We tried to count those good deeds
below the Maniha; we mentioned replying to the sneezer, removing
harmful things from the road, etc., but we failed to count even
fifteen."

land should cultivate it himself or give it to his brother or keep it
uncultivated."Narrated Abu Said: A bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him about
emigration. The Prophet said to him, "May Allah be merciful to you.
The matter of emigration is difficult. Have you got some camels?" He
replied in the affirmative. The Prophet asked him, "Do you pay their
Zakat?" He replied in the affirmative. He asked, "Do you lend them so
that their milk may be utilized by others?" The bedouin said, "Yes."
The Prophet asked, "Do you milk them on the day off watering them?" He
replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Do good deeds beyond the merchants
(or the sea) and Allah will never disregard any of your deeds." (See

charging him a fixed rent.

charity."
