The Prophet and Abu Bakr employed a (pagan) man from the tribe of Bani
Ad-Dail and the tribe of Bani 'Abu bin 'Adi as a guide. He was an
expert guide and he broke the oath contract which he had to abide by
with the tribe of Al-'Asi bin Wail and he was on the religion of
Quraish pagans. The Prophet and Abu Bakr had confidence in him and
gave him their riding camels and told him to bring them to the Cave of
Thaur after three days. So, he brought them their two riding camels
after three days and both of them (The Prophet and Abu Bakr) set out

who quarrel led with someone and one of the them bit and cut the
other's finger and caused his own tooth to fall out. He then went to
the Prophet (with a complaint) but the Prophet cancelled the suit and
said to the complainant, "Did you expect him to let his finger in your
mouth so that you might snap and cut it (as does a stallion camel)?"Narrated Ibn Juraij from Abdullah bin Abu Mulaika from his grandfather

his hands and the wall became straightened up." Ya'la said, "I think
Said said, 'He (Khadir) passed his hand over it and it was
straightened up." (Moses said to him), "if you had wanted, you could
have taken wages for it." Said said, "Wages with which to buy food .
"
Volume 3, Book 36, Number 468:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet 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 .'
Volume 3, Book 36, Number 469:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
Allah's Apostle said, "Your example and the example of Jews and
Christians is like the example of a man who employed some laborers to
whom he said, 'Who will work for me up to midday for one Qirat each?'
The Jews carried out the work for one Qirat each; and then the
Christians carried out the work up to the 'Asr prayer for one Qirat
each; and now you Muslims are working from the 'Asr prayer up to
sunset for two Qirats each. The Jews and Christians got angry and
said, 'We work more and are paid less.' The employer (Allah) asked
them, 'Have I usurped some of your right?' They replied in the
negative. He said, 'That is My Blessing, I bestow upon whomever I
wish.' "
Volume 3, Book 36, Number 470:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah said, 'I will be an opponent to three types
of people on the Day of Resurrection:1. One who makes a covenant in My Name, but proves treacherous;
2. One who sells a free person and eats his price; and
3. One who employs a laborer and takes full work from him but does not
pay him for his lab our.' "
Volume 3, Book 36, Number 471:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, "The example of Muslims, Jews and Christians is like
the example of a man who employed laborers to work for him from
morning till night for specific wages. They worked till midday and
then said, 'We do not need your money which you have fixed for us and
let whatever we have done be annulled.' The man said to them, 'Don't
quit the work, but complete the rest of it and take your full wages.'
But they refused and went away. The man employed another batch after
them and said to them, 'Complete the rest of the day and yours will be
the wages I had fixed for the first batch.' So, they worked till the
time of 'Asr prayer. Then they said, "Let what we have done be
annulled and keep the wages you have promised us for yourself.' The
man said to them, 'Complete the rest of the work, as only a little of
the day remains,' but they refused. Thereafter he employed another
batch to work for the rest of the day and they worked for the rest of
the day till the sunset, and they received the wages of the two former
batches. So, that was the example of those people (Muslims) and the
example of this light (guidance) which they have accepted willingly.
Volume 3, Book 36, Number 472:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Three men from among those who were
before you, set out together till they reached a cave at night and
entered it. A big rock rolled down the mountain and closed the mouth
of the cave. They said (to each other), Nothing could save you Tom
this rock but to invoke Allah by giving referenda to the righteous
deed which you have done (for Allah's sake only).' So, one of them
said, 'O Allah! I had old parents and I never provided my family
(wife, children etc.) with milk before them. One day, by chance I was
delayed, and I came late (at night) while they had slept. I milked the
sheep for them and took the milk to them, but I found them sleeping. I
disliked to provide my family with the milk before them. I waited for
them and the bowl of milk was in my hand and I kept on waiting for
them to get up till the day dawned. Then they got up and drank the
milk. O Allah! If I did that for Your Sake only, please relieve us
from our critical situation caused by this rock.' So, the rock shifted
a little but they could not get out."The Prophet added, "The second man said, 'O Allah! I had a cousin who
was the dearest of all people to me and I wanted to have sexual
relations with her but she refused. Later she had a hard time in a
famine year and she came to me and I gave her one-hundred-and-twenty
Dinars on the condition that she would not resist my desire, and she
agreed. When I was about to fulfill my desire, she said: It is illegal
for you to outrage my chastity except by legitimate marriage. So, I
thought it a sin to have sexual intercourse with her and left her
though she was the dearest of all the people to me, and also I left
the gold I had given her. O Allah! If I did that for Your Sake only,
please relieve us from the present calamity.' So, the rock shifted a
little more but still they could not get out from there."The Prophet added, "Then the third man said, 'O Allah! I employed few
laborers and I paid them their wages with the exception of one man who
did not take his wages and went away. I invested his wages and I got
much property thereby. (Then after some time) he came and said to me:
O Allah's slave! Pay me my wages. I said to him: All the camels, cows,
sheep and slaves you see, are yours. He said: O Allah's slave! Don't
mock at me. I said: I am not mocking at you. So, he took all the herd
and drove them away and left nothing. O Allah! If I did that for Your
Sake only, please relieve us from the present suffering.' So, that
rock shifted completely and they got out walking.

Narrated Abu May' id Al-Ansari:

the market and work as porters to earn a Mudd (two hand-fulls) (of

Volume 3, Book 36, Number 475:
Narrated Khabbab:
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)

Narrated Abu Said:
Some of the companions of the Prophet 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
) 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 and narrated the
story. Allah's Apostle 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 smiled thereupon.
