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

debts in the most handsome manner."

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

Jew and asked him to accept the fruits of my trees in place of the
debt but the Jew refused. Allah's Apostle entered the garden of the
date-palms, wandering among the trees and ordered me (saying), "Pluck
(the fruits) and give him his due." So, I plucked the fruits for him
after the departure of Allah's Apostle and gave his thirty Awsuq, and
still had seventeen Awsuq extra for myself. Jabir said: I went to
Allah's Apostle to inform of what had happened, but found him praying
the 'Asr prayer. After the prayer I told him about the extra fruits
which remained. Allah's Apostle told me to inform (Umar) Ibn Al-Khatab
about it. When I went to 'Umar and told him about it, 'Umar said,
"When Allah's Apostle walked in your garden, I was sure that Allah
would definitely bless it."
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 582:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle used to invoke Allah in the prayer saying, "O Allah, I
seek refuge with you from all sins, and from being in debt." Someone
said, O Allah's Apostle! (I see you) very often you seek refuge with
Allah from being in debt. He replied, "If a person is in debt, he
tells lies when he speaks, and breaks his promises when he promises."

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

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

Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba:
The Prophet said, "Allah has forbidden for you, (1) to be undutiful to
your mothers, (2) to bury your daughters alive, (3) to not to pay the
rights of the others (e.g. charity, etc.) and (4) to beg of men
(begging). And Allah has hated for you (1) vain, useless talk, or that
you talk too much about others, (2) to ask too many questions, (in
disputed religious matters) and (3) to waste the wealth (by
extravagance).
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 592:

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

right." Shu'ba, the sub-narrator said, "I think he said to them,
"Don't differ, for the nations before you differed and perished
(because of their differences). "

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

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

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:

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

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

told me that when I would return (to Mecca), I should search for the
son of the slave-girl of Zam'a and take him into my custody as he was
his son." 'Abu bin Zam'a said, 'the is my brother and the son of the
slave-girl of my father, and was born or my father's bed." The Prophet
noticed a resemblance between Utba and the boy but he said, "O 'Abu

bed. You, Sauda, screen yourself from the boy."

and offspring?' " (19.77)
