He turned to it and scraped it with the twig. He then said: Who of you likes that Allah turns His face from him? He further said: When any of you stands for praying, Allah faces him. So he should not spit before him, nor on his right side. He should spit on his left side under his left foot. If he is in a hurry (i.e. forced to spit immediately), he should do with his cloth in this manner. He then placed the cloth on his mouth and rubbed it off. He then said: Bring perfume.

Ziyad said: A horn of the Jews. He (the Prophet) did not like it. He said: This is the matter of the Jews. Then they mentioned to him the bell of the Christians. He said: This is the matter of the Christians. Abdullah ibn Zayd returned anxiously from there because of the anxiety of the Apostle (pbuh). He was then taught the call to prayer in his dream. Next day he came to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and informed him about it. He said: Apostle of Allah, I was between sleep and wakefulness; all of a sudden a newcomer came (to me) and taught me the call to prayer.

He said: Abdullah ibn Zayd had already told you about it before me: hence I was ashamed. Then the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Bilal, stand up, see what Abdullah ibn Zayd tells you (to do), then do it. Bilal then called them to prayer.

Narated By Mu'adh ibn Jabal : Prayer passed through three stages and fasting also passed through three stages. The narrator Nasr reported the rest of the tradition completely. The narrator, Ibn al-Muthanna, narrated the story of saying prayer facing in the direction of Jerusalem. He said: The third stage is that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) came to Medina and prayed, i.e. facing Jerusalem, for thirteen months. Then Allah, the Exalted, revealed the verse: "We have seen thee turning thy face to Heaven (for guidance, O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wherever ye may be, turn your face (when ye pray) toward it" (ii.144). And Allah, the Reverend and the Majestic, turned (them) towards the Ka'bah. He (the narrator) completed his tradition. The narrator, Nasr, mentioned the name of the person who had the dream, saying: And Abdullah ibn Zayd, a man from the Ansar, came. The same version reads: And he turned his face towards the qiblah and said: Allah is most great, Allah is most great; I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah; come to prayer (he pronounced it twice), come to salvation (he pronounced it twice); Allah is Most Great, Allah is most great. He then paused for a while, and then got up and pronounced in a similar way, except that after the phrase "Come to salvation" he added. "The time for prayer has come, the time for prayer has come." The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Teach it to Bilal, then pronounce the adhan (call to prayer) with the same words. As regards fasting, he said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) used to fast for three days every month, and would fast on the tenth of Muharram. Then Allah, the Exalted, revealed the verse: "...Fasting was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil)... and for those who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need (ii.183-84). If someone wished to keep the fast, he would keep the fast; if someone wished to abandon the fast, he would feed an indigent every day; it would do for him. But this was changed. Allah, the Exalted, revealed: "The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an... (let him fast the same) number of other days" (ii.185). Hence the fast was prescribed for the one who was present in the month (of Ramadan) and the traveller was required to atone (for them); feeding (the indigent) was prescribed for the old man and woman who were unable to fast. (The narrator, Nasr, further reported): The companion Sirmah, came after finishing his day's work... and he narrated the rest of the tradition. AbuDawud Book 002, Hadith Number 0510. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Umar : The words of adhan were pronounced from the time of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) twice in pairs (i.e. four times) each, and the words of iqamah were pronounced once in pairs (twice each), except that the phrase "The time for prayer has come" would be pronounced twice. When we heard iqamah, we would perform ablution, and go out for prayer. Shu'bah said: I did not hear AbuJa'far narrating any other tradition except this one. AbuDawud Book 002, Hadith Number 0512. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Zayd : The Prophet (pbuh) intended to do many things for calling (the people) to prayer, but he did not do any of them. Then Abdullah ibn Zayd was taught in a dream how to pronounce the call to prayer. He came to the Prophet (pbuh) and informed him. He said: Teach it to Bilal. He then taught him, and Bilal made a call to prayer. Abdullah said: I saw it in a dream and I wished to pronounce it, but he (the Prophet) said: You should pronounce iqamah.

Narated By Ziyad ibn al-Harith as-Suda'i : When the adhan for the dawn prayer was initially introduced, the Prophet (pbuh) commanded me to call the adhan and I did so. Then I began to ask: Should I utter iqamah, Apostle of Allah? But he began to look at the direction of the east, (waiting) for the break of dawn, and said: No. When the dawn broke, he came down and performed ablution and he then turned to me. In the meantime his Companions joined him. Then Bilal wanted to utter the iqamah, but the Prophet (pbuh) said to him: The man of Suda' has called the adhan, and he who calls the adhan utters the iqamah. AbuDawud Book 002, Hadith Number 0515. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By AbuHurayrah : The Prophet (pbuh) said: The mu'adhdhin will receive forgiveness to the extent to which his voice reaches, and every moist and dry place will testify on his behalf; and he who attends (the congregation of) prayer will have twenty-five prayers recorded for him and will have expiation for sins committed between every two times of prayer.

He would come there before the break of dawn and wait for it. When he saw it, he would yawn and say: O Allah, I praise you and seek Your assistance for the Quraysh so that they might establish the religion. He then would make the call to prayer.

Uthman replied: When the verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Prophet (pbuh), he called someone to write them down for him and said to him: Put this verse in the surah in which such and such has been mentioned; and when one or two verses were revealed, he used to say similarly (regarding them). (Surah) al-Anfal is the first surah that was revealed at Medina, and (Surah) al-Bara'ah was revealed last in the Qur'an, and its contents were similar to those of al-Anfal. I, therefore, thought that it was a part of al-Anfal.

Narated By Ali ibn AbuTalib : Ali said on the pulpit in the mosque of Kufah: When Friday comes, the devils go to the markets with their flags, and involve people in their needs and prevent them from the Friday prayer. The angels come early in the morning, sit at the door of the mosque, and record that so-and-so came at the first hour, and so-and-so came at the second hour until the imam comes out (for preaching). When a man sits in a place where he can listen (to the sermon) and look (at the imam), where he remains silent and does not interrupt, he will receive a double reward. If he stays away, sits in a place where he cannot listen (to the sermon), silent, and does not interrupt, he will receive the reward only once. If he sits in a place where he can listen (to the sermon) and look (at the imam), and he does not remain silent, he will have the burden of it. If anyone says to his companion sitting besides him to be silent (while the imam is preaching), he is guilty of idle talk. Anyone who interrupts (during the sermon) will receive nothing (no reward) on that Friday. Then he (the narrator) says in the end of this tradition: I heard the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) say so.

(He (the Prophet) then uttered the salutation upon all of them. He prayed in his manner at Usfan as well as at the territory of Banu Sulaym. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Ayyub and Hisham from Abu al-Zubair on the authority of Jabir to the same effect from the Prophet (pbuh).

Hathmah al-Ansari : The prayer in the time of danger should be offered in the following way: The imam should stand (for prayer) and a section of the person should stand along with him. The other section should stand facing the enemy. The imam should perform bowing and prostrate himself along with those who are with him. He then should stand (after prostration)and, when he stands straight, he should remain standing. They (the people) should (in the meantime) complete their remaining rak'ah (i.e. the second one). Then they should utter the salutation, and turn away while the imam should remain standing. Then they should go before the enemy. Thereafter those who did not pray should come forward and utter the takbir (Allah is most great) behind the imam. He should bow and prostrate along with them and utter the salutation. Then they should stand and complete their remaining rak'ah, and utter the salutation. Abu Dawud said: This tradition reported by Yahya b. Sa'id from al-Qasim is similar to the one transmitted by Yazid b. Ruman except that he differed with him in salutation. the tradition reported by 'Ubaid Allah is like one reported by Yahya b. Sa'id, saying: He (the prophet) remained standing.

One section stood with him (to pray) and the other was standing before the enemy, and their backs were towards the qiblah. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) uttered the takbir and all of them too uttered the takbir, i.e. those who were with him and those who were facing the enemy. Then the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) offered one rak'ah and the section that was with him also prayed one rak'ah. He then prostrated himself and those who were with him also prostrated, while the other section was standing before the enemy. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then stood up and the section with him also stood up. They went and faced the enemy and the section that was previously facing the enemy stepped forward. They bowed and prostrated while the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) was standing in the same position. Then they stood up and the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon) prayed another rak'ah and all of them bowed and prostrated along with him. After that the section that was standing before the enemy came forward and they bowed and prostrated, while the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) remained seated and also those who were with him. The salutation then followed. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) uttered the salutation and all of them uttered it together.

He added to the words "when he bowed along with those who were with him and prostrated" the words "when they stood up, they retraced their footsteps to the rows of their companions". He did not mention the words "their back was towards the qiblah". Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by 'Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin through a different chain of transmitters. She said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) uttered the takbir and the section that was in the same row with him also uttered the takbir. He then bowed and they also bowed, and he prostrated and they also prostrated. Then he raised his head and they also raised (their heads). The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then remained seated. They prostrated alone and stood up and retraced their footsteps and stood behind them. Then the other section came; they stood up and uttered the takbir and bowed by themselves. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) prostrated himself and they also prostrated with him. Then the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) stood up and they performed the second prostration by themselves. Then both the sections stood up and prayed with the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). He bowed and they also bowed, and then he prostrated himself and they also prostrated themselves. Then he returned and performed the second prostration and they also prostrated with him as quickly as possible, showing no slackness in quick prostration.

He led them in two rak'ahs and then he uttered the salutation. Then those who were with him went away and took the position of their companions before the enemy. Then they came and prayed behind him. He led them in two rak'ahs and uttered the salutation. Thus the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) offered four rak'ahs and his companions offered two rak'ahs. Al-Hasan used to give legal verdict on the authority of this tradition. Abu Dawud said: This will be so in the sunset prayer. The imam will offer six rak'ahs and the people three rak'ahs. Abu Dawud said: Yahya b. Abi Kathir narrated from Abu Salamah from Jabir from the Prophet (pbuh) something similar.

I proceeded walking towards him while I was praying making a sign. When I reached near him, he said to me: Who are you? I replied: A man from the Arabs; it came to me that you were gathering (an army) for this man (i.e. the Prophet). Hence I came to you in connection with this matter. He said: I am (engaged) in this (work). I then walked along with him for a while.; when it became convenient for me, I dominated him with my sword until he became cold (dead).

The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) did not yet come out. When he came out, he led the people in prayer and he (Bilal) informed him that 'Aisha had kept him engaged in a matter which she asked him till it became fairly light; hence he became late in reaching him (in time).

They said: Convey our regards to her from all of us and ask her about the two rak'ahs after the afternoon prayer; and tell her that we have been informed that she prays them; and we are told that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) prohibited them.

They sent me back to Umm Salamah with the same mission for which they had sent me to 'Aisha. Umm Salamah said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) prohibiting them, but I later on saw him praying them. When he prayed them, he had offered the afternoon prayer.

He replied: In the last part: Pray as much as you like, for the prayer is attended by the angels and it is recorded till you offer the dawn prayer; then stop praying when the sun is rising till it has reached the height of one or two lances, for it rises between the two horns of the Devil, and the infidels offer prayer for it (at that time). Then pray as much as you like, because the prayer is witnessed and recorded till the shadow of a lance be- comes equal to it. Then cease prayer, for at that time the Hell-fire is heated up and doors of Hell are opened. When the sun declines, pray as much as you like, for the prayer is witnessed till you pray the afternoon prayer; then cease prayer till the sun sets, for it sets between the horns of the Devil, and (at that time) the infidels offer prayer for it.

These are the ten things: you should pray four rak'ahs, reciting in each one Fatihat al-Kitab and a surah. When you finish the recitation of the first rak'ah you should say fifteen times while standing: "Glory be to Allah", "Praise be to Allah", "There is no god but Allah", "Allah is most great".

Narated By Abdullah Ibn Abbas : In Surat al-Muzzammil (73), the verse: "Keep vigil at night but a little, a half thereof" (2-3) has been abrogated by the following verse: "He knoweth that ye count it not, and turneth unto you in mercy. Recite then of the Qur'an that which is easy for you" (v.20). The phrase "the vigil of the night" (nashi'at al-layl) means the early hours of the night. They (the companions) would pray (the tahajjud prayer) in the early hours of the night. He (Ibn Abbas) says: It is advisable to offer the prayer at night (tahajjud), prescribed by Allah for you (in the early hours of the night). This is because when a person sleeps, he does not know when he will awake. The words "speech more certain" (aqwamu qilan) means that this time is more suitable for the understanding of the Qur'an. He says: The verse: "Lo, thou hast by day a chain of business" (v.7) means engagement for long periods (in the day's work).

Ma'in said: No one is reported to have narrated traditions from him except Hammad b. Salamah. Abu Dawud said: Ubayy b. K'ab said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) recited supplication in the witr before bowing. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by 'Isa b.

K'ab that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) recited the supplication in the witr before bowing. Abu Dawud said: The chain of narrators of the tradition of Sa'id from Qatadah goes: Yazid b. Zurai' narrated from Sa'id, from Qatadah , from 'Azrah, from Sa'id b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. Abza, on the authority of his father from the Prophet (pbuh). This version does not mention the supplication and the name of Ubayy. This tradition has also been narrated by 'Abd al-A'la and Muhammad b. Bishr al-'Abdi. He heard traditions from 'Isa b.

None of them mention the supplications in his version, except in tradition translated by Hafs b. Ghiyath from Mis'ar from Zubaid; he narrated in his version that he (the Prophet) recited supplications before bowing. Abu Dawud said: This version of tradition is not well known. There is a doubt that Hafs might have narrated this tradition from some other narrator than Mis'ar. Abu Dawud said: It is reported that Ubayy (b.

When the last ten days remained, he kept away from them, and prayed in his house. They used to say: Ubayy ran away. Abu Dawud said: This tradition shows that whatever has been reported about the recitation of the supplication is not tenable. Moreover, these two traditions from Ubayy b.

He would tell us: When one of you intends to do a work, he should offer two supererogatory rak'ahs of prayer, and then say (at the end of prayer): "O Allah, I seek what is good from Thee by Thy knowledge, and I seek power from Thee by Thy power, and I ask Thee for Thy vast grace, for Thou hast power, and I have no power, and Thou Knowest and I do not know, and Thou best knowest the unseen. O Allah, if thou knowest that this work (one should name the work one is intending to do) is good for me, for my religion and for my livelihood, for my next world, and for the consequence of this work of mine, then appoint it for me, make easy for me, and give blessing to me in it. O Allah, if Thou knowest that it is evil for me and for all those things mentioned formerly, then turn me away from it, and turn it away from me, and appoint for me what is good, whatever it is, and make me pleased with it."

AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1563. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Umar : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) wrote a letter about sadaqah (zakat) but he died before he could send it to his governors. He had kept it with his sword. So AbuBakr acted upon it till he died, and then Umar acted upon it till he died. It contained: "For five camels one goat is to be given; for ten camels two goats are to be given; for fifteen camels three goats are to be given; for twenty camels four goats are to be given; for twenty-five to thirty-five camels a she-camel in her second year is to be given. If the number exceeds by one up to seventy camels, a she-camel in her fourth year is to be given; if they exceed by one up to seventy-five camels, a she-camel in her fifth year is to be given; if they exceed by one up to ninety camels, two she-camels in their third year are to be given; if they exceed by one up to one hundred and twenty, two she-camels in their fourth year are to be given. If the camels are more than this, a she-camel in her fourth year is to be given for every fifty camels, and a she-camel in her third year is to be given for every forty camels. For forty to one hundred and twenty goats one goat is to be given; if they exceed by one up to two hundred, two goats are to be given. If they exceed by one up to three hundred, three goats are to be given; if the goats are more than this, one goat for every hundred goats is to be given. Nothing is payable until they reach one hundred. Those which are in one flock are not to be separated, and those which are in separate flocks are not be brought together from fear of sadaqah (zakat). Regarding that which belongs to two partners, they can make claims for restitution from each other with equity. An old goat and a defective one are not to be accepted as sadaqah (zakat)." Az-Zuhri said: When the collector comes, the goats will be apportioned into three flocks: one containing bad, the second good, and the third moderate. The collector will take zakat from the moderate. Az-Zuhri did not mention the cows (to be apportioned in three flocks). AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1567. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Ali ibn AbuTalib : Al-Harith al-A'war reported from Ali. Zuhayr said: I think, the Prophet (pbuh) said: "Pay a fortieth. A dirham is payable on every forty, but you are not liable for payment until you have accumulated two hundred dirhams. When you have two hundred dirhams, five dirhams are payable, and that proportion is applicable to larger amounts. "Regarding sheep, for every forty sheep up to one hundred and twenty, one sheep is due. But if you possess only thirty-nine, nothing is payable on them." He further narrated the tradition about the sadaqah (zakat) on sheep like that of az-Zuhri. "Regarding cattle, a yearling bull calf is payable for every thirty, and a cow in her third year for forty, and nothing is payable on working animals. Regarding (the zakat on) camels, he mentioned the rates that az-Zuhri mentioned in his tradition. He said: "For twenty-five camels, five sheep are to be paid. If they exceed by one, a she-camel in her second year is to be given. If there is no she-camel in her second year, a male camel in its third year is to be given, up to thirty-five. If they exceed by one a she-camel in her third year is to be given, up to forty-five. If they exceed by one, a she-camel in her fourth year which is ready to be covered by a bull-camel is to be given." He then transmitted the rest of the tradition like that of az-Zuhri. He continued: If they exceed by one, i.e. they are ninety-one to hundred and twenty, two she-camels in their fourth year, which are ready to be covered by a bull-camel, are to be given. If there are more camels than that, a she-camel in her fourth year is to be given for every fifty. Those which are in one flock are not to be separated, and those which are separate are not to be brought together. An old sheep, one with a defect in the eye, or a billy goat is not to be accepted as a sadaqah unless the collector is willing. As regards agricultural produce, a tenth is payable on that which is watered by rivers or rain, and a twentieth on that which is watered by draught camels." The version of Asim and al-Harith says: "Sadaqah (zakat) is payable every year." Zuhayr said: I think he said "Once a year". The version of Asim has the words: "If a she-camel in her second year is not available among the camels, nor is there a bull-camel in its third year, ten dirhams or two goats are to be given." AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1568. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Ali ibn AbuTalib : The Prophet (pbuh) said: "When you possess two hundred dirhams and one year passes on them, five dirhams are payable. Nothing is incumbent on you, that is, on gold, till it reaches twenty dinars. When you possess twenty dinars and one year passes on them, half a dinar is payable. Whatever exceeds, that will be reckoned properly." (The narrator said: I do not remember whether the words "that will be reckoned properly" were uttered by All himself or he attributed them to the Prophet (pbuh). No zakat is payable on property till a year passes on it. But Jarir said: Ibn Wahb (sub-narrator) added to this tradition from the Prophet (pbuh): "No zakat is payable on property until a year passes away on it." AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1569. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Ali ibn AbuTalib : The Prophet (pbuh) said: I have given exemption regarding horses and slaves; with regard to coins, however, you must pay a dirham for every forty (dirhams), but nothing is payable on one hundred and ninety. When the total reaches two hundred, five dirhams are payable. AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1570. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: For forty pasturing camels, one she-camel in her third year is to be given. The camels are not to be separated from reckoning. He who pays zakat with the intention of getting reward will be rewarded. If anyone evades zakat, we shall take half the property from him as a due from the dues of our Lord, the Exalted. There is no share in it (zakat) of the descendants of Muhammad (pbuh). AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1571. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Mu'adh ibn Jabal : When the Prophet (pbuh) sent him to the Yemen, he ordered him to take a male or a female calf a year old for every thirty cattle and a cow in its third year for every forty, and one dinar for every adult (unbeliever as a poll-tax) or cloths of equivalent value manufactured in the Yemen. AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1574. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Someone who accompanied the collector of the Prophet : Suwayd ibn Ghaflah said: I went myself or someone who accompanied the collector of the Prophet (pbuh) told me: It was recorded in the document written by the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) not to accept a milking goat or she-camel or a (suckling) baby (as zakat on animals); and those which are in separate flocks are not to be brought together, and those which are in one flock are not to be separated. The collector used to visit the water-hole when the sheep went there and say: Pay the sadaqah (zakat) on your property. The narrator said: A man wanted to give him his high-humped camel (kawma'). The narrator (Hilal) asked: What is kawma', AbuSalih? He said: A camel a high hump. The narrator continued: He (the collector) refused to accept it. He said: I wish you could take the best of my camels. He refused to accept it. He then brought another camel lower in quality than the previous one. He refused to accept it too. He then brought another camel lower in quality than the previous one. He accepted it, saying: I shall take it, but I am afraid the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) might be angry with me, saying to me: You have purposely taken from a man a camel of your choice. AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1576. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Sa'r ibn Disam : Muslim ibn Shu'bah said: Nafi' ibn Alqamah appointed my father as charge d'affaires of his tribe, and commanded him to collect sadaqah (zakat) from them. My father sent me to a group of them; so I came to an aged man called Sa'r ibn Disam I said: My father has sent me to you to collect zakat from you. He asked: What kind of animals will you take, my nephew? I replied: We shall select the sheep and examine their udders. He said: My nephew, I shall narrate a tradition to you. I lived on one of these steppes during the time of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) along with my sheep. Two people riding a camel came to me. They said to me: We are messengers of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), sent to you so that you may pay the sadaqah (zakat) on your sheep. I asked: What is due from me for them? They said: One goat. I went to a goat which I knew was full of milk and fat, and I brought it to them. They said: This is a pregnant goat. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) prohibited us to accept a pregnant goat. I asked: What will you take then? They said: A goat in its second year or a goat in its third year. I then went to a goat which had not given birth to any kid, but it was going to do so. I brought it to them. They said: Give it to us. They took it on the camel and went away. AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1577. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Mu'awiyah al-Ghadiri : AbuDawud said: I read in a document possessed by Abdullah ibn Salim at Hims: Abdullah ibn Mu'awiyah al-Ghadiri reported the Prophet (pbuh) as saying: He who performs three things will have the taste of the faith. (They are:) One who worships Allah alone and one believes that there is no god but Allah; and one who pays the zakat on his property agreeably every year. One should not give an aged animal, nor one suffering from itch or ailing, and one most condemned, but one should give animals of medium quality, for Allah did not demand from you the best of your animals, nor did He command you to give the animals of worst quality. AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1578. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Ubayy ibn Ka'b : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) commissioned me as a collector of zakat. I visited a man. When he had collected his property of camels, I found that a she-camel in her second year was due from him. I said to him: Pay a she-camel in her second year, for she is to be paid as sadaqah (zakat) by you. He said: That one is not worthy of milking and riding. Here is another she-camel which is young, grand and fat. So take it. I said to him: I shall not take an animal for which I have not been commanded. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) is here near to you. If you like, go to him, and present to him what you presented to me. Do that; if he accepts it from you, I shall accept it; if he rejects it, I shall reject it. He said: I shall do it. He accompanied me and took with him the she-camel which he had presented to me. We came to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). He said to him: Prophet of Allah, your messenger came to me to collect zakat on my property. By Allah, neither the Apostle of Allah nor his messenger has ever seen my property before. I gathered my property (camels), and he estimated that a she-camel in her second year would be payable by me. But that has neither milk nor is it worth riding. So I presented to him a grand young she-camel for acceptance as zakat. But he has refused to take her. Look, she is here; I have brought her to you, Apostle of Allah. Take her. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: That is what is due from you. If you give voluntarily a better (animal) Allah will give a reward to you for it. We accept her from you. She is here, Apostle of Allah; I have brought her to you. So take her. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then ordered me to take possession of it, and he prayed for a blessing on his property.

He replied: "No." AbuDawud Book 003, Hadith Number 1583. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Jabir ibn Atik : The Prophet (pbuh) said: Riders who are objects of dislike to you will come to you, but you must welcome them when they come to you, and give them a free hand regarding what they desire.

Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to him: If he (Hilal) pays you the tithe on honey what he used to pay to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), leave the protected land of Salabah in his possession; otherwise those bees are like those of any wood; anyone can take the honey as he likes.

The people, as it were, could not understand. Which of the people of Medina are present here? Stand for your brethren, and teach them, for they do not know. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) prescribed this sadaqah as one sa' of dried dates or barley, or half a sa' of wheat payable by every freeman or slave, male or female, young or old. When Ali came (to Basrah), he found that price had come down. He said: Allah has given prosperity to you, so give one sa' of everything (as sadaqah).

I am taking a document to my people, but I do not know what it contains, just like the document of al-Mutalammis. Mu'awiyah informed the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) of his statement. Thereupon the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: He who begs (from people) when he has sufficient is simply asking for a large amount of Hell-fire. (An-Nufayl (a transmitter) said elsewhere: "embers of Hell".) They asked: Apostle of Allah, what is a sufficiency? (Elsewhere an-Nufayl said: What is a sufficiency which makes begging unfitting?) He replied: It is that which would provide a morning and an evening meal. (Elsewhere an-Nufayl said: It is when one has enough for a day and night, or for a night and a day.)

He then brought these articles to him and he (the Prophet) took them in his hands and asked: Who will buy these? A man said: I shall buy them for one dirham. He said twice or thrice: Who will offer more than one dirham? A man said: I shall buy them for two dirhams. He gave these to him and took the two dirhams and, giving them to the Ansari, he said: Buy food with one of them and hand it to your family, and buy an axe and bring it to me. He then brought it to him. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) fixed a handle on it with his own hands and said: Go, gather firewood and sell it, and do not let me see you for a fortnight. The man went away and gathered firewood and sold it. When he had earned ten dirhams, he came to him and bought a garment with some of them and food with the others. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then said: This is better for you than that begging should come as a spot on your face on the Day of Judgment.

AbuDawud Book 004, Hadith Number 1766. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : Sa'id ibn Jubayr said: I said to Abdullah ibn Abbas: AbulAbbas, I am surprised to see the difference of opinion amongst the companions of the Apostle (pbuh) about the wearing of ihram by the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) when he made it obligatory. He replied: I am aware of it more than the people. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) performed only one hajj. Hence the people differed among themselves. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) came out (from Medina) with the intention of performing hajj. When he offered two rak'ahs of prayer in the mosque at Dhul-Hulayfah, he made it obligatory by wearing it. At the same meeting, he raised his voice in the talbiyah for hajj, when he finished his two rak'ahs. Some people heard it and I retained it from him. He then rode (on the she-camel), and when it (the she-camel) stood up, with him on its back, he raised his voice in the talbiyah and some people heard it at that moment. This is because the people were coming in groups, so they heard him raising his voice calling the talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on its back, and they thought that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) had raised his voice in the talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on its back. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) proceeded further; when he ascended the height of al-Bayda' he raised his voice in the talbiyah. Some people heard it at that moment. They thought that he had raised his voice in the talbiyah when he ascended the height of al-Bayda'. I swear by Allah, he raised his voice in the talbiyah at the place where he prayed, and he raised his voice in the talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on its back, and he raised his voice in the talbiyah when he ascended the height of al-Bayda'. Sa'id (ibn Jubayr) said; He who follows the view of Ibn Abbas raises his voice in talbiyah (and ihram) at the place of is prayer after he finishes two rak'ahs of his prayer. AbuDawud Book 004, Hadith Number 1768. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Umar : Ubayd ibn Jurayj said to Abdullah ibn Umar: AbuAbdurRahman, I saw you doing things which I did not see being done by your companions. He asked: What are they, Ibn Jurayj? He replied: I saw you touching only the two Yamani corners; and I saw you wearing shoes having no hair; I saw you dyeing in yellow colour; and I saw you wearing ihram on the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah, whereas the people had worn ihram when they sighted the moon. Abdullah ibn Umar replied: As regards the corners, I have not seen the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) touching anything (in the Ka'bah) but the two Yamani corners. As for the tanned leather shoes, I have seen the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) wearing tanned leather shoes, and he would wear them after ablution. Therefore I like to wear them. As regards wearing yellow, I have seen the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) wearing yellow, so I like to wear with it. As regards shouting the talbiyah, I have seen the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) raising his voice in talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on its back.

(He expressed his amazement at the use of coloured clothes and perfume.) She said: What is wrong with you? The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) has ordered his companions to put off their ihram and they did so. Ali said: I said to her: I raised my voice in talbiyah for which the Prophet (pbuh) raised his voice (i.e. I wore ihram for qiran). Then I came to the Prophet (pbuh). He asked (me): How did you do? I replied: I raised my voice in talbiyah, for which the Prophet (pbuh) raised his voice. He said: I have brought the sacrificial animals with me and combined umrah and hajj. He said to me: Sacrifice sixty-seven or sixty-six camels (for me) and withhold for yourself thirty-three or thirty-four, and withhold a piece (of flesh) for me from every camel.

When I reached al-Udhayb, Salman ibn Rabi'ah and Zayd ibn Suhan met me while I was raising my voice in talbiyah for both of them. One of them said to the other: This (man) does not have any more understanding than his camel. Thereupon it was as if a mountain fell on me. I came to Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: Commander of the Faithful, I was a Christian Bedouin, and I have embraced Islam. I am eager to wage war in the cause of Allah (jihad), and I found that both hajj and umrah were due from me. I came to a man of my tribe who said to me: Combine both of them and sacrifice the animal easily available for you. I have raised my voice in talbiyah for both of them.

AbuDawud Book 005, Hadith Number 2159. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By 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 AbuDawud Book. They (the Ansar) accepted their superiority over themselves in respect of knowledge, and they followed most of their actions. The people of the AbuDawud 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 (pbuh). 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. AbuDawud Book 005, Hadith Number 2161. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By 'Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin : I and the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) 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). AbuDawud Book 005, Hadith Number 2163. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : The Prophet (pbuh) said about a man who has sexual intercourse with a menstruating woman: He should give one or half dinar as sadaqah. AbuDawud Book 005, Hadith Number 2164. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By 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. AbuDawud Book 005, Hadith Number 2166. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By 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. AbuDawud Book 005, Hadith Number 2169. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abu Hurairah : Abu Nadrah reported: An old man of Tufawah said to me: I was a guest of Abu Hurairah at Medina. I did not find any one of the companions of the Prophet (pbuh) more devoted to worship and more hospitable than Abu Hurairah. 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 (pbuh)? I said: Yes. He said: Once when I was laid up with fever in the mosque, the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) 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 (pbuh) 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 (pbuh) 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. Abu Dawud 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. Total Hadiths : 58.

Narated By Abdullah Ibn Abbas : Hilal ibn Umayyah was one of three people whose repentance was accepted by Allah. One night he returned from his land and found a man with his wife. He witnessed with his eyes and heard with his ears. He did not threaten him till the morning. Next day he went to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) in the morning, and said: Apostle of Allah! I came to my wife at night and found a man with her. I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) disliked what he described and he took it seriously. Thereupon the following Qur'anic verse came down: "And those who make charges against their spouses but have no witnesses except themselves, let the testimony of one of them...." When the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) came to himself (after the revelation ended), he said: Glad tidings for you, Hilal. Allah, the Exalted, has made it easy and, a way out for you. Hilal said: I expected that from my Lord. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Send for her. She then came. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) recited (the verses) to them that the punishment in the next world was more severe than that in this world. Hilal said: I swear by Allah, I spoke the truth against her. She said: He told a lie. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Apply the method of invoking curses on each other. Hilal was told: Bear witness. So he bore witness before Allah four times that he spoke the truth. When he was about to utter a fifth time, he was told: Hilal, fear Allah, for the punishment in this world is easier than that in the next world; and this is the deciding one that will surely cause punishment to you. He said: I swear by Allah. Allah will not punish me for this (act), as He did not cause me to be flogged for this (act). So he bore witness a fifth time invoking the curse of Allah on him if he was one of those who told lies. Then the people said to her: Testify. So she gave testimony before Allah that he was a liar. When she was going to testify a fifth time, she was told: Fear Allah, for the punishment in this world is easier than that in the next world. This is the deciding one that will surely cause punishment to you. She hesitated for a moment, and then said: By Allah, I shall not disgrace my people. So she testified a fifth time invoking the curse of Allah on her if he spoke the truth. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) separated them from each other, and decided that the child would not be attributed to its father. Neither she nor her child would be accused of adultery. He who accused her or her child would be liable to punishment. He also decided that there would be no dwelling and maintenance for her (from the husband), as they were separated without divorce. He then said: If she gives birth to a child with reddish hair, light buttocks, wide belly and light shins, he will be the child of Hilal. If she bears a dusky child with curly hair, fat limbs, fat shins and fat buttock he will be the child of the one who was accused of adultery. She gave birth to a dusky child with curly hair, fat limbs, fat shins and fat buttocks. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Had there been no oaths I should have dealt with her severely.

Allah, the Exalted, will veil Himself from any man who disowns his child when he looks at him, and disgrace him in the presence of all creatures, first and last. AbuDawud Book 006, Hadith Number 2257. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : The Prophet (pbuh) said: There is no prostitution in Islam.

Narated By Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As : The Prophet (pbuh) decided regarding one who was treated as a member of a family after the death of his father, to whom he was attributed when the heirs said he was one of them, that if he was the child of a slave-woman whom the father owned when he had intercourse with her, he was included among those who sought his inclusion, but received none of the inheritance which was previously divided; he, however, received his portion of the inheritance which had not already been divided; but if the father to whom he was attributed had disowned him, he was not joined to the heirs. If he was a child of a slave-woman whom the father did not possess or of a free woman with whom he had illicit intercourse, he was not joined to the heirs and did not inherit even if the one to whom he was attributed is the one who claimed paternity, since he was a child of fornication whether his mother was free or a slave.

But they (refused and) cried loudly. Again he said to two of them: Give the child to the man (the third person) willingly. But they (refused and) cried loudly. He then said: You are quarrelsome partners. I shall cast lots among you; he who receives the lot, will acquire the child, and he shall pay two-thirds of the blood-money to both his companions. He then cast lots among them, and gave the child to the one who received the lot. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) laughed so much that his canine or molar teeth appeared.

Then a Roman slave of my people, called Yuhannah, incited her, and spoke to her in his own unintelligible language. She gave birth to a son like a chameleon (red). I asked her: What is this? She replied: This belongs to Yuhannah. We then brought the case to Uthman (for a decision). I think Mahdi said these words. He inquired from both of them, and they acknowledged (the facts).

AbuHurayrah said: O Allah, I do not say this, except that I heard a woman who came to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) while I was sitting with him, and she said: My husband wishes to take away my son, Apostle of Allah, and he draws water for me from the well of AbuInabah, and he has been good to me. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Cast lots for him. Her husband said: Who is disputing with me about my son?

She said: I have no need of perfume, but I heard the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) say: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for one who has died, more than three nights, except for four months and ten days in the case of a husband. Zaynab said: I also visited Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, when her brother died. She asked for some perfume and used it upon herself. She then said: I have no need of perfume, but I heard the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) say when he was on the pulpit: It is not lawful for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to observe mourning for one who has died, more than three nights, except for four months and ten days in the case of a husband. Zaynab said: I heard my mother, Umm Salamah, say: A woman came to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and said: Apostle of Allah, the husband of my daughter has died, and she is suffering from sore eyes; may we put antimony in her eyes? The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: No. He said this twice or thrice. Each time he said: No. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: The waiting period is now four months and ten days. In pre-Islamic days one of you used to throw away a piece of dung at the end of a year. Humayd said: I asked Zaynab: What do you mean by throwing away a piece of dung at the end of a year. Zaynab replied: When the husband of a woman died, she entered a small cell and put on shabby clothes, not touching perfume or any other thing until a year passed. Then an animal such as donkey or sheep or bird was provided for her. She rubbed herself with it. The animal with which she rubbed herself rarely survived. She then came out and was given a piece of dung which she threw away. She then used perfume or something else which she desired.

When they met him at al-Qudum, they murdered him. So I asked the Apostle of Allah (pbuh): "Should I return to my people, for he did not leave any dwelling house of his own and maintenance for me? She said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) replied: Yes. She said: I came out, and when I was in the apartment or in the mosque, he called for me, or he commanded (someone to call me) and, therefore, I was called. He said: what did you say? So I repeated my story which I had already mentioned about my husband. Thereupon he said: Stay in your house till the term lapses.

Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : Ibn Abbas explained the following Qur'anic verse: "O ye who believe! fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you" During the lifetime of the Prophet (pbuh), when the people offered night prayer, they were asked to abstain from food and drink and (intercourse with) women, they kept fast till the next night. A man betrayed himself and had intercourse with his wife after he had offered the night prayer, and he did not break his fast. So Allah, the Exalted, intended to make it (fasting) easy for those who survived, thus providing a concession and utility. Allah, the Glorified, said: "Allah knoweth what ye used to do secretly among yourselves." By this Allah benefited the people and provided concession and ease to them.

If it was sighted, then well and good; in case it was not sighted, and there was no cloud and dust before him (on the horizon), he would not keep fast the next day. If there appeared (on the horizon) before him cloud or dust, he would fast the following day. Ibn Umar would end his fasting alone with the people, and did not follow this calculation.

He said: I have only food at night since I departed from you. Thereupon the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Why did you torment yourself?

A horseman came and said: Apostle of Allah, I went before you and climbed a certain mountain where saw Hawazin all together with their women, cattle, and sheep, having gathered at Hunayn.

Anas ibn AbuMarthad al-Ghanawi said: I shall , Apostle of Allah. He said: Then mount your horse. He then mounted his horse, and came to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). The Apostle of Allah said to him: Go forward to this ravine till you get to the top of it. We should not be exposed to danger from your side. In the morning the Apostle of of Allah (pbuh) came out to his place of prayer, and offered two rak'ahs. He then said: Have you seen any sign of your horseman?

Narated By AbuAyyub : AbuImran said: We went out on an expedition from Medina with the intention of (attacking) Constantinople. AbdurRahman ibn Khalid ibn al-Walid was the leader of the company. The Romans were just keeping their backs to the walls of the city. A man (suddenly) attacked the enemy. Thereupon the people said: Stop! Stop! There is no god but Allah. He is putting himself into danger. AbuAyyub said: This verse was revealed about us, the group of the Ansar (the Helpers). When Allah helped His Prophet (pbuh) and gave Islam dominance, we said (i.e. thought): Come on! Let us stay in our property and improve it. Thereupon Allah, the Exalted, revealed, "And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your hands contribute to (your destruction)". To put oneself into danger means that we stay in our property and commit ourselves to its improvement, and abandon fighting (i.e. jihad).

Everything with which a man amuses himself is vain except three (things): a man's training of his horse, his playing with his wife, and his shooting with his bow and arrow. If anyone abandons archery after becoming an adept through distaste for it, it is a blessing he has abandoned; or he said: for which he has been ungrateful.

He, therefore, (went and again) asked: Apostle of Allah, a man wishes to take part in jihad in Allah's path desiring some worldly advantage? He replied: There is no reward for him. They again said to the man: Return to the Apostle of Allah. He, therefore, said to him third time. He replied: There is no reward for him.

So offer something (as wages) to me, whether there would be any portion or not. I offered three dinars (as his wages) for him. When some booty arrived, I wanted to offer him his portion.

Then its head may be washed and shaved off. Abu Dawud said: In narrating the word "is smeared with blood" (yudamma) there is a misunderstanding on the part of Hammam. Abu Dawud said: Hammam has been opposed in narrating the words "is smeared with blood." This is a misunderstanding of Hammam.

He replied: Fara' is right.

And "Those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans", everyone who had an orphan with him went and separated his food from his (orphan's) food, and his drink from his drink, and began to detain the remaining food which he (the orphan) himself ate or spoiled.

He replied: If you wish, you may make the property an inalienable possession, and give its produce as sadaqah (charity). So 'Umar gave it as sadaqah declaring that the property must not be sold, given awa, or inherited; (and gave its produce as sadaqah to the devoted) to the poor, relatives, the emancipation of slaves, Allah's path, travellers.

His son Hisham emancipated fifty slaves and his son Amr intended to emancipate the remaining fifty on his behalf, but he said: I should ask first the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). He, therefore, came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said: Apostle of Allah, my father left in his will that a hundred slaves should be emancipated on his behalf and Hisham has emancipated fifty on his behalf and fifty remain.

Muhammad ibn Maslamah stood and said the same as al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah had said. So Abu Bakr made it apply to her. Another grandmother came to Umar ibn al-Khattab asking him for her share of inheritance. He said: Nothing has been prescribed for you in Allah's AbuDawud Book. The decision made before you was made for a grandmother other than you. I am not going to add in the shares of inheritance; but it is that sixth.

He sent them to Abdul Malik who said: This is the decision which I have already seen.

AbuDawud Book 012, Hadith Number 2916. ------------------------------ Chapter : Abrogation of inheritance by alliance by the command of inheritance of relationship.

When the following verse was revealed: "To (benefit) everyone we have appointed shares and heirs to property left by parents and relatives," it abrogated the verse: "To those also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give their due portion."

I read the Qur'anic verse: "To those whom your right hand was pledged." She said: Do not read the verse: "To those whom your right hand was pledged." This was revealed about Abu Bakr and his son 'Abd al-Rahman when he refused to accept Islam. Abu Bakr took an oath that he would not give him a share from inheritance. When he embraced Islam, Allah Most High commanded His Prophet (pbuh) to give him the share. The narrator 'Abd al-'Aziz added: He did not accept Islam until he was urged on Islam by sword. Abu Dawud said: He who narrated the word 'aqadat means a pact; and he who narrated the word 'aqadat meant the party who made the pact. The correct version is the tradition of Talhah (aqadat). AbuDawud Book 012, Hadith Number 2918. ------------------------------ Chapter : Abrogation of inheritance by alliance by the command of inheritance of relationship. Narated By N/A : Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) said referring to the verse: "Those who believed and adopted exile...

Narated By Umar ibn al-Khattab : Sa'id said: Umar ibn al-Khattab said: Blood-money is meant for the clan of the slain, and she will not inherit from the blood-money of her husband. Ad-Dahhak ibn Sufyan said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) wrote to me that I should give a share to the wife of Ashyam ad-Dubabi from the blood-money of her husband. So Umar withdrew his opinion. Ahmad ibn Salih said: Abdur Razzaq transmitted this tradition to us from Ma'mar, from az-Zuhri on the authority of Sa'id. In this version he said: The Prophet (pbuh) made him governor over the bedouins. Total Hadiths : 43.

Narated By 'Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: When Allah has a good purpose for a ruler, He appoints for him a sincere minister who reminds him if he forgets and helps him if he remembers; but when Allah has a different purpose from that for him. He appoints for him an evil minister who does not remind him if he forgets and does not help him if he remembers.

Narated By Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) struck him on his shoulders and then said: You will attain success, Qudaym, if you die without having been a ruler, a secretary, or a chief.

Narated By Ghalib al-Qattan : Ghalib quoted a man who stated on the authority of his father that his grandfather reported: They lived at one of the springs. When Islam reached them, the master of the spring offered his people one hundred camels if they embraced Islam. So they embraced Islam, and he distributed the camels among them. But it occurred to him that he should take the camels back from them. He sent his son to the Prophet (pbuh) and said to him: Go to the Prophet (pbuh) and tell him: My father extends his greetings to you. He asked his people to give them one hundred camels if they embraced Islam, and they embraced Islam. He divided the camels among them. But it occurred to him then that he should withdraw his camels from them. Is he more entitled to them or we? If he says: Yes or no, then tell him: My father is an old man, and he is the chief of the people living at the water. He has requested you to make me chief after him. He came to him and said: My father has extended his greetings to you. He replied: On you and you father be peace. He said: My father asked his people to give them one hundred camels if they embraced Islam. So they embraced Islam, and their belief in Islam is good. Then it occurred to him that he should take his camels back from them. Is he more entitled to them or are they? He said: If he likes to give them the camels, he may give them; and if he likes to take them back, he is more entitled to them than his people. If they embraced Islam, then for them is their Islam. If they do not embrace Islam, they will be fought against in the cause of Islam. He said: My father is an old man; he is the chief of the people living at the spring. He has asked you to appoint me chief after him. He replied: The office of a chief is necessary, for people must have chiefs, but the chiefs will go to Hell.

I heard the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) say: If Allah puts anyone in the position of authority over the affairs of the Muslims, and he secludes himself (from them), not fulfilling their needs, wants, and poverty, Allah will keep Himself away from him, not fulfilling his need, want and poverty.

The believers considered him to be just, according to the saying of the Prophet (pbuh): Allah has placed truth upon Umar's tongue and heart. He fixed stipends for Muslims, and provided protection for the people of other religions by levying jizyah (poll-tax) on them, deducting no fifth from it, nor taking it as booty.

Narated By Umar ibn al-Khattab : Malik ibn Aws al-Hadthan said: One of the arguments put forward by Umar was that he said that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) received three things exclusively to himself: Banu an-Nadir, Khaybar and Fadak. The Banu an-Nadir property was kept wholly for his emergent needs, Fadak for travellers, and Khaybar was divided by the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) into three sections: two for Muslims, and one as a contribution for his family. If anything remained after making the contribution of his family, he divided it among the poor Emigrants. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2963. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By 'Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin : Fatimah was demanding (the property of) sadaqah of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) at Medina and Fadak, and what remained from the fifth of Khaybar. 'Aisha quoted AbuBakr as saying: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: We are not inherited; whatever we leave is sadaqah. The family of Muhammad will eat from this property, that is, from the property of Allah. They will not take more then their sustenance. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2966. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Umar ibn AbdulAziz : Al-Mughirah (ibn Shu'bah) said: Umar ibn AbdulAziz gathered the family of Marwan when he was made caliph, and he said: Fadak belonged to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), and he made contributions from it, showing repeated kindness to the poor of the Banu Hashim from it, and supplying from it the cost of marriage for those who were unmarried. Fatimah asked him to give it to her, but he refused. That is how matters stood during the lifetime of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) till he passed on (i.e. died). When AbuBakr was made ruler he administered it as the Prophet (pbuh) had done in his lifetime till he passed on. Then when Umar ibn al-Khattab was made ruler he administered it as they had done till he passed on. Then it was given to Marwan as a fief, and it afterwards came to Umar ibn AbdulAziz. Umar ibn AbdulAziz said: I consider I have no right to something which the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) refused to Fatimah, and I call you to witness that I have restored it to its former condition; meaning in the time of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2967. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known.

AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2969. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Umar ibn al-Khattab : AbulBakhtari said: I heard from a man a tradition which I liked. I said to him: Write it down for me. So he brought it clearly written to me. (It says): Al-Abbas and Ali entered upon Umar when Talhah, az-Zubayr, AbdurRahman and Sa'd were with him. They (Abbas and Ali) were disputing. Umar said to Talhah, az-Zubayr, AbdurRahman and Sa'd: Do you not know that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: All the property of the Prophet (pbuh) is sadaqah (alms), except what he provided for his family for their sustenance and their clothing. We are not to be inherited. They said: Yes, indeed. He said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) used to spend from his property on his family, and give the residue as sadaqah (alms). The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then died, and AbuBakr ruled for two years. He would deal with it in the same manner as the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) did. He then mentioned a little from the tradition of Malik ibn Aws. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2976. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : Yazid ibn Hurmuz said that when Najdah al-Haruri performed hajj during the rule of Ibn az-Zubayr, he sent someone to Ibn Abbas to ask him about the portion of the relatives (in the fifth). He asked: For whom do you think? Ibn Abbas replied: For the relatives of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) divided it among them. Umar presented it to us but we found it less than our right. We, therefore returned it to him and refused to accept it. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2978. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Ali ibn AbuTalib : I, al-Abbas, Fatimah and Zayd ibn Harithah gathered with the Prophet (pbuh) and I said: Apostle of Allah, if you think to assign us our right (portion) in this fifth (of the booty) as mentioned in the AbuDawud Book of Allah, and this I may divide during your lifetime so that no one may dispute me after you, then do it. He said: He did that. He said: I divided it during the lifetime of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). AbuBakr then assigned it to me. During the last days of the caliphate of Umar a good deal of property came to him and took out our portion. I said to him: We are well to do this year; but the Muslims are needy, so return it to them. He, therefore, returned it to them. No one called me after Umar. I met al-Abbas when I came out from Umar. He said: Ali, today you have deprived us of a thing that will never be returned to us. He was indeed a man of wisdom. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2979. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith : AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith said that his father, Rabi'ah ibn al-Harith, and Abbas ibn al-Muttalib said to AbdulMuttalib ibn Rabi'ah and al-Fadl ibn Abbas: Go to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and tell him: Apostle of Allah, we are now of age as you see, and we wish to marry. Apostle of Allah, you are the kindest of the people and the most skilled in matchmaking. Our fathers have nothing with which to pay our dower. So appoint us collector of sadaqah (zakat), Apostle of Allah, and we shall give you what the other collectors give you, and we shall have the benefit accruing from it. Ali came to us while we were in this condition. He said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: No, I swear by Allah, he will not appoint any of you collector of sadaqah (zakat). Rabi'ah said to him: This is your condition; you have gained your relationship with the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) by marriage, but we did not grudge you that. Ali then put his cloak on the earth and lay on it. He then said: I am the father of Hasan, the chief. I swear by Allah, I shall not leave this place until your sons come with a reply (to the question) for which you have sent them to the Prophet (pbuh). AbdulMuttalib said: So I and al-Fadl went towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet (pbuh). We found that the noon prayer in congregation had already started. So we prayed along with the people. I and al-Fadl then hastened towards the door of the apartment of the Prophet (pbuh). He was (staying) with Zaynab, daughter of Jahsh, that day. We stood until the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) came. He caught my ear and the ear of al-Fadl. He then said: Reveal what you conceal in your hearts. He then entered and permitted me and al-Fadl (to enter). So we entered and for a little while we asked each other to talk. I then talked to him, or al-Fadl talked to him (the narrator, Abdullah was not sure). He said: He spoke to him concerning the matter about which our fathers ordered us to ask him. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) remained silent for a moment and raised his eyes towards the ceiling of the room. He took so long that we thought he would not give any reply to us. Meanwhile we saw that Zaynab was signalling to us with her hand from behind the veil, asking us not to be in a hurry, and that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) was (thinking) about our matter. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then lowered his head and said to us: This sadaqah (zakat) is a dirt of the people. It is legal neither for Muhammad nor for the family of Muhammad. Call Nawfal ibn al-Harith to me. So Nawfal ibn al-Harith was called to him. He said: Nawfal, marry AbdulMuttalib (to your daughter). So Nawfal married me (to his daughter). The Prophet (pbuh) then said: Call Mahmiyyah ibn Jaz'i to me. He was a man of Banu Zubayd, whom the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) had appointed collector of the fifths. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said to Mahmiyyah: Marry al-Fadl (to your daughter). So he married him to her. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Stand up and pay the dower from the fifth so-and-so on their behalf. Abdullah ibn al-Harith did not name it (i.e. the amount of the dower). AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2984. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Mujja'ah ibn Mirarah al-Yamani : Mujja'ah went to the Prophet (pbuh) asking him for the blood-money of his brother whom Banu Sadus from Banu Dhuhl had killed. The Prophet (pbuh) said: Had I appointed blood-money for a polytheist, I should have appointed it for your brother. But I shall give you compensation for him. So the Prophet (pbuh) wrote (a document) for him that he should be given a hundred camels which were to be acquired from the fifth taken from the polytheists of Banu Dhuhl. So he took a part of them, for Banu Dhuhl embraced Islam. He then asked AbuBakr for them later on, and brought to him the document of the Prophet (pbuh). So AbuBakr wrote for him that he should be given one thousand two hundred sa's from the sadaqah of al-Yamamah; four thousand (sa's) of wheat, four thousand (sa's) of barley, and four thousand (sa's) of dates. The text of the document written by the Prophet (pbuh) for Mujja'ah was as follows: "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. This document is from Muhammad, the Prophet, to Mujja'ah ibn Mirarah of Banu Sulma. I have given him one hundred camels from the first fifth acquired from the polytheist of Banu Dhuhl as a compensation for his brother." AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2993. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Yazid ibn Abdullah : We were at Mirbad. A man with dishevelled hair and holding a piece of red skin in his hand came. We said: You appear to be a bedouin. He said: Yes. We said: Give us this piece of skin in your hand. He then gave it to us and we read it. It contained the text: "From Muhammad, Apostle of Allah (pbuh), to Banu Zuhayr ibn Uqaysh. If you bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah, offer prayer, pay zakat, pay the fifth from the booty, and the portion of the Prophet (pbuh) and his special portion (safi), you will be under by the protection of Allah and His Apostle." We then asked: Who wrote this document for you? He replied: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh). AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2996. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Muhayyisah : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: If you gain a victory over the men of Jews, kill them. So Muhayyisah jumped over Shubaybah, a man of the Jewish merchants. He had close relations with them. He then killed him. At that time Huwayyisah (brother of Muhayyisah) had not embraced Islam. He was older than Muhayyisah. When he killed him, Huwayyisah beat him and said: O enemy of Allah, I swear by Allah, you have a good deal of fat in your belly from his property. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 2998. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By A man from the companions of the Prophet : Abdur Rahman ibn Ka'b ibn Malik reported on the authority of a man from among the companions of the Prophet (pbuh): The infidels of the Quraysh wrote (a letter) to Ibn Ubayy and to those who worshipped idols from al-Aws and al-Khazraj, while the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) was at that time at Medina before the battle of Badr. (They wrote): You gave protection to our companion. We swear by Allah, you should fight him or expel him, or we shall come to you in full force, until we kill your fighters and appropriate your women. When this (news) reached Abdullah ibn Ubayy and those who were worshippers of idols, with him they gathered together to fight the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). When this news reached the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), he visited them and said: The threat of the Quraysh to you has reached its end. They cannot contrive a plot against you, greater than what you yourselves intended to harm you. Are you willing to fight your sons and brethren? When they heard this from the Prophet (pbuh), they scattered. This reached the infidels of the Quraysh. The infidels of the Quraysh again wrote (a letter) to the Jews after the battle of Badr: You are men of weapons and fortresses. You should fight our companion or we shall deal with you in a certain way. And nothing will come between us and the anklets of your women. When their letter reached the Prophet (pbuh), they gathered Banu an-Nadir to violate the treaty. They sent a message to the Prophet (pbuh): Come out to us with thirty men from your companions, and thirty rabbis will come out from us till we meet at a central place where they will hear you. If they testify to you and believe in you, we shall believe in you. The narrator then narrated the whole story. When the next day came, the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) went out in the morning with an army, and surrounded them. He told them: I swear by Allah, you will have no peace from me until you conclude a treaty with me. But they refused to conclude a treaty with him. He therefore fought them the same day. Next he attacked Banu Quraysh with an army in the morning, and left Banu an-Nadir. He asked them to sign a treaty and they signed it. He turned away from them and attacked Banu an-Nadir with an army. He fought with them until they agreed to expulsion. Banu an-Nadir were deported, and they took with them whatever their camels could carry, that is, their property, the doors of their houses, and their wood. Palm-trees were exclusively reserved for the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). Allah bestowed them upon him and gave them him as a special portion. He (Allah), the Exalted, said: What Allah has bestowed on His Apostle (and taken away) from them, for this ye made no expedition with either camel corps or cavalry." He said: "Without fighting." So the Prophet (pbuh) gave most of it to the emigrants and divided it among them; and he divided some of it between two men from the helpers, who were needy, and he did not divide it among any of the helpers except those two. The rest of it survived as the sadaqah of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) which is in the hands of the descendants of Fatimah (Allah be pleased with her). AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3000. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah Ibn Umar : The Prophet fought with the people of Khaybar, and captured their palm-trees and land, and forced them to remain confined to their fortresses. So they concluded a treaty of peace providing that gold, silver and weapons would go to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), and whatever they took away on their camels would belong to them, on condition that they would not hide and carry away anything. If they did (so), there would be no protection for them and no treaty (with Muslims). They carried away a purse of Huyayy ibn Akhtab who was killed before (the battle of) Khaybar. He took away the ornaments of Banu an-Nadir when they were expelled. The Prophet (pbuh) asked Sa'yah: Where is the purse of Huyayy ibn Akhtab? He replied: The contents of this purse were spent on battles and other expenses. (Later on) they found the purse. So he killed Ibn AbulHuqayq, captured their women and children, and intended to deport them. They said: Muhammad, leave us to work on this land; we shall have half (of the produce) as you wish, and you will have half. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) used to make a contribution of eighty wasqs of dates and twenty wasqs of wheat to each of his wives. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3001. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Umar : Umar said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) had transaction with the Jews of Khaybar on condition that we should expel them when we wish. If anyone has property (with them), he should take it back, for I am going to expel the Jews. So he expelled them. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3006. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By A Group of Companions of the Prophet : Bashir ibn Yasar, the client of the Ansar, reported on the authority of a group of the Companions of the Prophet (pbuh): When the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) conquered Khaybar, he divided it into thirty-six lots, each lot comprising one hundred portions. One half of it was for the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and for the Muslims; and he separated the remaining half for the deputations which came to him, other matters and emergent needs of the people. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3008. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Bashir ibn Yasar : When Allah bestowed Khaybar on the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) as fay' (spoils of war without fighting), he divided the whole into thirty six lots. He put aside a half, i.e. eighteen lots, for the Muslims. Each lot comprised one hundred shares, and the Prophet (pbuh) was with them. He received a share like the share of one of them. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) separated eighteen lots, that is, half, for his future needs and whatever befell the Muslims. These were al-Watih, al-Kutaybah, as-Salalim and their colleagues. When all this property came in the possession of the Prophet (pbuh) and of the Muslims, they did not have sufficient labourers to work on it. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) called Jews and employed them on contract. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3009. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Mujammi' ibn Jariyah al-Ansari, : Khaybar was divided among the people of al-Hudaybiyyah. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) divided it into eighteen portions. The army contained one thousand and five hundred people. There were three hundred horsemen among them. He gave double share to the horsemen, and a single to the footmen. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3010. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn AbuBakr : Abdullah ibn AbuBakr and some children of Muhammad ibn Maslamah said: There remained some people of Khaybar and they confined themselves to the fortresses. They asked the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) to protect their lives and let them go. He did so. The people of Fadak heard this; they also adopted a similar way. (Fadak) was, therefore, exclusively reserved for the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), for it was not captured by the expedition of cavalry and camelry. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3013. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Ibn Shihab : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) took out his fifth from the booty of Khaybar, and divided the rest of it among those who attended the battle and among those who were away from it but attend the expedition of al-Hudaybiyyah. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3015. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : Al-Abbas ibn AbdulMuttalib brought AbuSufyan ibn Harb to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) in the year of the conquest (of Mecca). So he embraced Islam at Marr az-Zahran. Al-Abbas said to him: Apostle of Allah, AbuSufyan is a man who likes taking this pride, if you may do something for him. He said: Yes, he who enters the house of AbuSufyan is safe, and he who closes his door is safe. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3016. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah Ibn Abbas : When the Prophet (pbuh) alighted at Marr az-Zahran, al-Abbas said: I thought, I swear by Allah, if the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) enters Mecca with the army by force before the Quraysh come to him and seek protection from him, it will be their total ruin. So I rode on the mule of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and thought, Perhaps I may find a man coming for his needs who will to the people of Mecca and inform them of the position of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), so that they may come to him and seek protection from him. While I was on my way, I heard AbuSufyan and Budayl ibn Warqa' speaking. I said: O AbuHanzalah! He recognized my voice and said: AbulFadl? I replied: Yes. He said: who is with you, may my parents be a sacrifice for you? I said: Here are the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and his people (with him). He asked: Which is the way out? He said: He rode behind me, and his companion returned. When the morning came, I brought him to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) and he embraced Islam. I said: Apostle of Allah, AbuSufyan is a man who likes this pride, do something for him. He said: Yes, he who enters the house of AbuSufyan is safe; he who closes the door upon him is safe; and he who enters the mosque is safe. The people scattered to their houses and in the mosque. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3013. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Jabir ibn Abdullah : Wahb said: I asked Jabir about the condition of Thaqif when they took the oath of allegiance. He said: They stipulated to the Prophet (pbuh) that there would be no sadaqah (i.e. zakat) on them nor Jihad (striving in the way of Allah). He then heard the Prophet (pbuh) say: Later on they will give sadaqah (zakat) and will strive in the way of Allah when they embrace Islam. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3020. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Uthman ibn Abul'As : When the deputation of Thaqif came to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), he made them stay in the mosque, so that it might soften their hearts. They stipulated to him that they would not be called to participate in Jihad, to pay zakat and to offer prayer. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: You may have the concession that you will not be called to participate in jihad and pay zakat, but there is no good in a religion which has no bowing (i.e. prayer). AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3021. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Amir ibn Shahr : When the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) appeared as a prophet, Hamdan said to me: Will you go to this man and negotiate for us (with him)? If you accept something, we shall accept it, and if you disapprove of something, we shall disapprove of it. I said: Yes. So I proceeded until I came to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). I liked his motive and my people embraced Islam. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) wrote the document for Umayr Dhu Marran. He also sent Malik ibn Murarah ar-Rahawi to all the (people of) Yemen. So Akk Dhu Khaywan embraced Islam. Akk was told: Go to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), and obtain his protection for your town and property. He therefore came (to him) and the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) wrote a document for him: "In the name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful. From Muhammad, the Apostle of Allah, to Akk Dhu Khaywan. If he is true his land, property and slave, he has the security and the protection of Allah, and Muhammad, the Apostle of Allah. Written by Khalid ibn Sa'id ibn al-'As." AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3022. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abyad ibn Hammal : Abyad spoke to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) about sadaqah when he came along with a deputation to him. He replied: O brother of Saba', sadaqah is unavoidable. He said: We cultivated cotton, Apostle of Allah. The people of Saba' scattered, and there remained only a few at Ma'arib. He therefore concluded a treaty of peace with the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) to give seventy suits of cloth, equivalent to the price of the Yemeni garments known as al-mu'afir, to be paid every year on behalf of those people of Saba' who remained at Ma'arib. They continued to pay them till the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) died. The governors after the death of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) broke the treaty concluded by Abyad by Hammal with the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) to give seventy suits of garments. AbuBakr then revived it as the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) had done till AbuBakr died. When AbuBakr died, it was discontinued and the sadaqah was levied. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3026. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : The Prophet (pbuh) said: Two qiblahs in one land are not right.

Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) concluded peace with the people of Najran on condition that they would pay to Muslims two thousand suits of garments, half of Safar, and the rest in Rajab, and they would lend (Muslims) thirty coats of mail, thirty horses, thirty camels, and thirty weapons of each type used in battle. Muslims will stand surely for them until they return them in case there is any plot or treachery in the Yemen. No church of theirs will be demolished and no clergyman of theirs will be turned out. There will be no interruption in their religion until they bring something new or take usury. Isma'il said: They took usury. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3037. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Umar ibn al-Khattab : Amr ibn Aws and AbulSha'tha' reported that Bujalah said: I was secretary to Jaz' ibn Mu'awiyah, the uncle of Ahnaf ibn Qays. A letter came to us from Umar one year before his death, saying: Kill every magician, separate the relatives of prohibited degrees from the Magians, and forbid them to murmur (before eating). So we killed three magicians in one day, and separated from a Magian husband his wife of a prohibited degree according to the AbuDawud Book of Allah. He prepared abundant food and called them, and placed the sword on his thigh. They ate (the food) but did not murmur. They threw (on the ground) one or two mule-loads of silver. Umar did not take jizyah from Magians until AbdurRahman ibn Awf witnessed that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) had taken jizyah from the Magians of Hajar.

I asked him: What have Allah and His Apostle of Allah decided for you? He replied: Evil. I said: Silent. He said: Islam or killing. AbdurRahman ibn Awf said: He accepted jizyah from them. Ibn Abbas said: The people followed the statement of AbdurRahman ibn Awf, and they left that which I heard from the Usbadhi.

Narated By A man of Banu Taghlib : Harb ibn Ubaydullah ibn Umayr ath-Thaqafi told on the authority of his grandfather, a man of Banu Taghlib: I came to the Prophet (pbuh), embraced Islam, and he taught me Islam. He also taught me how I should take sadaqah from my people who had become Muslim. I then returned to him and said: Apostle of Allah, I remembered whatever you taught me except the sadaqah. Should I levy tithe on them? He replied: No, tithes are to be levied on Christians and Jews. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3044. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Al-Irbad ibn Sariyah as-Sulami : We alighted with the Prophet (pbuh) at Khaybar, and he had his companions with him. The chief of Khaybar was a defiant and abominable man. He came to the Prophet (pbuh) and said: Is it proper for you, Muhammad, that you slaughter our donkeys, eat our fruit, and beat our women? The Prophet (pbuh) became angry and said: Ibn Awf, ride your horse, and call loudly: Beware, Paradise is lawful only for a believer, and that they (the people) should gather for prayer. They gathered and the Prophet (pbuh) led them in prayer, stood up and said: Does any of you, while reclining on his couch, imagine that Allah has prohibited only that which is to be found in this Qur'an? By Allah, I have preached, commanded and prohibited various matters as numerous as that which is found in the Qur'an, or more numerous. Allah has not permitted you to enter the houses of the people of the AbuDawud Book without permission, or beat their women, or eat their fruits when they give you that which is imposed on them.

Narated By A number of Companions of the Prophet : Safwan reported from a number of Companions of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) on the authority of their fathers who were relatives of each other. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Beware, if anyone wrongs a contracting man, or diminishes his right, or forces him to work beyond his capacity, or takes from him anything without his consent, I shall plead for him on the Day of Judgment. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3047. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : The Prophet (pbuh) said: Jizyah is not to be levied on a Muslim. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3049. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah al-Hawzani : I met Bilal, the Mu'adhdhin of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) at Aleppo, and said: Bilal, tell me, what was the financial position of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh)? He said: He had nothing. It was I who managed it on his behalf since the day Allah made him Prophet of Allah (pbuh) until he died. When a Muslim man came to him and he found him naked, he ordered me (to clothe him). I would go, borrow (some money), and purchase a cloak for him. I would then clothe him and feed him. A man from the polytheists met me and said: I am well off, Bilal. Do not borrow money from anyone except me. So I did accordingly. One day when I performed ablution and stood up to make call to prayer, the same polytheist came along with a body of merchants. When he saw me, he said: O Abyssinian. I said: I am at your service. He met me with unpleasant looks and said harsh words to me. He asked me: Do you know how many days remain in the completion of this month? I replied: The time is near. He said: Only four days remain in the completion of this month. I shall then take that which is due from you (i.e. loan), and then shall return you to tend the sheep as you did before. I began to think in my mind what people think in their minds (on such occasions). When I offered the night prayer, the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) returned to his family. I sought permission from him and he gave me permission. I said: Apostle of Allah, may my parents be sacrificed for you, the polytheist from whom I used to borrow money said to me such-and-such. Neither you nor I have anything to pay him for me, and he will disgrace me. So give me permission to run away to some of those tribes who have recently embraced Islam until Allah gives His Apostle (pbuh) something with which he can pay (the debt) for me. So I came out and reached my house. I placed my sword, waterskin (or sheath), shoes and shield near my head. When dawn broke, I intended to be on my way. All of a sudden I saw a man running towards me and calling: Bilal, return to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). So I went till I reached him. I found four mounts kneeling on the ground with loads on them. I sought permission. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said to me: Be glad, Allah has made arrangements for the payment (of your debt). He then asked: Have you not seen the four mounts kneeling on the ground? I replied: Yes. He said: You may have these mounts and what they have on them. There are clothes and food on them, presented to me by the ruler of Fadak. Take them away and pay off your debt. I did so. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition. I then went to the mosque and found that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) was sitting there. I greeted him. He asked: What benefit did you have from your property? I replied: Allah Most High paid everything which was due from the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). Nothing remains now. He asked: Did anything remain (from that property)? I said: Yes. He said: Look, if you can give me some comfort from it, for I shall not visit any member of my family until you give me some comfort from it. When the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) offered the night prayer, he called me and said: What is the position of that which you had with you (i.e. property)? I said: I still have it, no one came to me. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) passed the night in the mosque. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. Next day when he offered the night prayer, he called me and asked: What is the position of that which you had (i.e. the rest of the property)? I replied: Allah has given you comfort from it, Apostle of Allah. He said: Allah is Most Great, and praised Allah, fearing lest he should die while it was with him. I then followed him until he came to his wives and greeted each one of them and finally he came to his place where he had to pass the night. This is all for which you asked me. AbuDawud Book 013, Hadith Number 3051. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Iyad ibn Himar : I presented a she-camel to the Prophet (pbuh).

The body of the boy was placed near the imam. I objected to it. Among the people there were Ibn Abbas, AbuSa'id al-Khudri, AbuQatadah and AbuHurayrah. They said: This is the sunnah (established practice of the Prophet). AbuDawud Book 014, Hadith Number 3188. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Anas ibn Malik : Nafi' AbuGhalib said: I was in the Sikkat al-Mirbad. A bier passed and a large number of people were accompanying it. They said: Bier of Abdullah ibn Umayr. So I followed it. Suddenly I saw a man, who had a thin garment on riding his small mule. He had a piece of cloth on his head to protect himself from the sun. I asked: Who is this important man? People said: This is Anas ibn Malik. When the bier was placed, Anas stood and led the funeral prayer over him while I was just behind him, and there was no obstruction between me and him. He stood near his head, and uttered four takbirs (Allah is Most Great). He neither lengthened the prayer nor hurried it. He then went to sit down. They said: AbuHamzah, (here is the bier of) an Ansari woman. They brought her near him and there was a green cupola-shaped structure over her bier. He stood opposite her hips and led the funeral prayer over her as he had led it over the man. He then sat down. Al-Ala' ibn Ziyad asked: AbuHamzah, did the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) say the funeral prayer over the dead as you have done, uttering four takbirs (Allah is Most Great) over her, and standing opposite the head of a man and the hips of a woman? He replied: Yes. He asked: AbuHamzah, did you fight with the Apostle of Allah? He replied: Yes. I fought with him in the battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came out and invaded us so severely that we saw our horses behind our backs. Among the people (i.e. the unbelievers) there was a man who was attacking us, and striking and wounding us (with his sword). Allah then defeated them. They were then brought and began to take the oath of allegiance to him for Islam. A man from among the companions of the Prophet (pbuh) said: I make a vow to myself that if Allah brings the man who was striking us (with his sword) that day, I shall behead him. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) kept silent and the man was brought (as a captive). When he saw the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), he said: Apostle of Allah, I have repented to Allah. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) stopped (for a while) receiving his oath of allegiance, so that the other man might fulfil his vow. But the man began to wait for the order of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) for his murder. He was afraid of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) to kill him. When the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) saw that he did not do anything, he received his oath of allegiance. The man said: Apostle of Allah, what about my vow? He said: I stopped (receiving his oath of allegiance) today so that you might fulfil your vow. He said: Apostle of Allah, why did you not give any signal to me? The Prophet (pbuh) said: It is not worthy of a Prophet to give a signal. AbuGhalib said: I asked (the people) about Anas standing opposite the hips of a woman. They told me that this practice was due to the fact that (in the days of the Prophet) there were no cupola-shaped structures over the biers of women. So the imam used to stand opposite the hips of a woman to hide her from the people. AbuDawud Book 014, Hadith Number 3193. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known.

AbuDawud Book 030, Hadith Number 4228. ------------------------------ Chapter : Fitan and their predictions. Narated By Hudhaifah : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) stood among us (to give an address) and he left out nothing that would happen up to the last hour without telling it. Some remembered it and some forgot, and these Companions his have known it.

Narated By Abdullah ibn Mas'ud : The Prophet (pbuh) said: four (majestic) trials (fitnahs) will take place among this community, and in their end there will be destruction.

Narated By Abdullah ibn Umar : When we were sitting with the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), he talked about periods of trial (fitnahs), mentioning many of them. When he mentioned the one when people should stay in their houses, some asked him: Apostle of Allah, what is the trial (fitnah) of staying at home? He replied: It will be flight and plunder. Then will come a test which is pleasant. Its murkiness is due to the fact that it is produced by a man from the people of my house, who will assert that he belongs to me, whereas he does not, for my friends are only the God-fearing. Then the people will unite under a man who will be like a hip-bone on a rib. Then there will be the little black trial which will leave none of this community without giving him a slap, and when people say that it is finished, it will be extended. During it a man will be a believer in the morning and an infidel in the evening, so that the people will be in two camps: the camp of faith which will contain no hypocrisy, and the camp of hypocrisy which will contain no faith. When that happens, expect the Antichrist (Dajjal) that day or the next. AbuDawud Book 030, Hadith Number 4231. ------------------------------ Chapter : Fitan and their predictions. Narated By Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman : I swear by Allah, I do not know whether my companions have forgotten or have pretended to forgot.

I asked: Who is he? The people frowned at me and said: Do you not recognize him? This is Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, the companion of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). Then Hudhayfah said: People used to ask the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) about good, and I used to ask him about evil. Then the people stared hard at him. He said: I know the reason why you dislike it. I then asked: Apostle of Allah, will there be evil as there was before, after this good which Allah has bestowed on us? He replied: Yes. I asked: Wherein does the protection from it lie? He replied: In the sword. I asked: Apostle of Allah, what will then happen? He replied: If Allah has on Earth a caliph who flays your back and takes your property, obey him, otherwise die holding onto the stump of a tree. I asked: What will come next? He replied: Then the Antichrist (Dajjal) will come forth accompanied by a river and fire. He who falls into his fire will certainly receive his reward, and have his load taken off him, but he who falls into his river will have his load retained and his reward taken off him. I then asked: What will come next? He said: The Last Hour will come. AbuDawud Book 030, Hadith Number 4233. ------------------------------ Chapter : Fitan and their predictions.

He asked: Who are these people? We replied: Banu Layth. We have come to you to ask you about the tradition of Hudhayfah. He then mentioned the tradition and said: I asked: Apostle of Allah, will there be evil after this good? He replied: There will be trial (fitnah) and evil. I asked: Apostle of Allah, will there be good after this evil? He replied: Learn the AbuDawud Book of Allah, Hudhayfah, and adhere to its contents. He said it three times. I asked: Apostle of Allah, will there be good after this evil? He replied: An illusory truce and a community with specks in its eye. I asked: Apostle of Allah, what do you mean by an illusory community? He replied: The hearts of the people will not return to their former condition. I asked: Apostle of Allah, will there be evil after this good? He replied: There will be wrong belief which will blind and deafen men to the truth in which there will be summoners at the gates of Hell. If you, Hudhayfah, die adhering to a stump, it will be better for you than following any of them.

If another man comes and contests him, then behead the other one. The narrator 'Abd al-Rahman said: I asked: Have you heard this from the Apostle of Allah? He said: My ears heard it and my heart retained it. I said: Your cousin Mu'awiyah orders us that we should do this and do that. He replied: Obey him in acts of obedience to Allah, and disobey him in acts of disobedience to Allah. AbuDawud Book 030, Hadith Number 4237. ------------------------------ Chapter : Fitan and their predictions.

Narated By Thawban : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Allah, the Exalted, folded for me the earth, or he said (the narrator is doubtful): My Lord folded for me the earth, so much so that I saw its east’s and west’s (i.e. the extremities). The Kingdom of my community will reach as far as the earth was folded for me. The two treasures, the red and the white, were bestowed on me. I prayed to my Lord that He may not destroy my community by a prevailing famine, and not give their control to an enemy who annihilates them en masse except from among themselves. My Lord said to me: Muhammad, if I make a decision, it is not withdrawn; and I shall not destroy them by a prevailing famine, and I shall not give their control to an enemy, except from among themselves, who exterminates them en masse, even if they are stormed from all sides of the earth; only a section of them will destroy another section, and a section will captivate another section. I am afraid about my community of those leaders who will lead astray. When the sword is used among my people, it will not be withdrawn from them till the Day of Resurrection, and the Last Hour will not come before the tribes of my people attach themselves to the polytheists and tribes of my people worship idols. There will be among my people thirty great liars each of them asserting that he is (Allah's) prophet, whereas I am the Seal of the Prophets after whom (me) there will be no prophet; and a section of my people will continue to hold to the truth - (according to Ibn 'Isa's version: (will continue to dominate) - the agreed version goes: "and will not be injured by those who oppose them, till Allah's command comes." AbuDawud Book 030, Hadith Number 4240. ------------------------------ Chapter : Fitan and their predictions. Narated By Abu Malik al-Ash'ari : The Prophet (pbuh) said: Allah has protected you from three things: that your Prophet should not invoke a curse on you and should all perish, that those who follow what is false should not prevail over those who follow the truth, and that you should not all agree in an error.

Narated By Abdullah ibn Mas'ud : The Prophet (pbuh) said: The mill of Islam will go round till the year thirty-five, or thirty-six, or thirty-seven; then if they perish, they will have followed the path of those who perished before them, but if their religion is maintained, it will be maintained for seventy years. I asked: Does it mean seventy years which remain or seventy years which are gone by? He replied: It means (seventy years) that are gone by. Abu Dawud said: Those who recorded Khirash, the name of a narrator, are wrong. (The correct name is Hirash).

He asked: What do you command me to do, Apostle of Allah? He replied: He who has camels should remain with his camels, he who has sheep should remain with his sheep, and he who has land should remain with his land.

AbuDawud Book 030, Hadith Number 4245. ------------------------------ Chapter : Prohibition of running to commotion fitnah. Narated By Abdullah ibn Mas'ud Khuraym ibn Fatik : The tradition mentioned above (No. 4243) has also been transmitted by Ibn Mas'ud through a different chain of narrators. Ibn Mas'ud said: I heard the Prophet (pbuh) say: He then mentioned a portion of the tradition narrated by Abu Bakrah (No. 4243).

Abu Dawud said: Al-Thawri has transmitted it from 'Awn from 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sumair or Sumairah; and Laith b. Abi Sulaim transmitted from 'Awn from 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sumairah.

He was called Hani ibn Kulthum ibn Sharik al-Kinani. He greeted Abdullah ibn Zakariyya who knew his rank. Khalid said to us: Abdullah ibn Abu Zakariyya told us: I heard Umm ad-Darda' say: I heard Abu al-Darda' say: I heard the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) say: It is hoped that Allah may forgive every sin, except in the case of one who dies a polytheist, or one who purposely kills a believer.

So Allah revealed the verse "unless he repents, beleives and works righteous deeds, for Allah will change the evil of such persons into good. (Qur'an xxv. 70)" This is meant for them. As regards the verse "If a man kills a beleiver intentionally, his recompense is Hell (Quran iv. 93)" he said: If a man knows the command of Islam and intentionally kills a beleiver, his repentance will not be accepted.

When we returned to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) we informed him of it.

He said: Go down and eat some of this ass's corpse. They replied: Apostle of Allah! Who can eat any of this?

And what do you find better than the fact that she gave her life. Aban did not say in his version: Then her clothes were tied to her. AbuDawud Book 033, Hadith Number 4429. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By AbuBakrah : The Prophet (pbuh) had a woman stoned and a pit was dug up to her breasts. AbuDawud Book 033, Hadith Number 4433. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Al-Bara' ibn Azib : The people passed by the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) with a Jew who was blackened with charcoal and who was being flogged. He called them and said: Is this the prescribed punishment for a fornicator? They said: Yes. He then called on a learned man among them and asked him: I adjure you by Allah Who revealed the Torah to Moses, do you find this prescribed punishment for a fornicator in your divine AbuDawud Book? He said: By Allah, no. If you had not adjured me about this, I should not have informed you. We find stoning to be prescribed punishment for a fornicator in our Divine AbuDawud Book. But it (fornication) became frequent in our people of rank; so when we seized a person of rank, we left him alone, and when we seized a weak person, we inflicted the prescribed punishment on him. So we said: Come, let us agree on something which may be enforced equally on people of higher and lower rank. So we agreed to blacken the face of a criminal with charcoal, and flog him, and we abandoned stoning. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then said: O Allah, I am the first to give life to Thy command which they have killed. So he commanded regarding him (the Jew) and he was stoned to death. Allah Most High then sent down: "O Apostle, let not those who race one another into unbelief, make thee grieve..." up to "They say: If you are given this, take it, but if not, beware!...." up to "And if any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) unbelievers," about Jews, up to "And if any do fail to judge by (the right of) what Allah hath revealed, they are no better than) wrong-doers" about Jews: and revealed the verses up to "And if any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel." About this he said: This whole verse was revealed about the infidels. AbuDawud Book 033, Hadith Number 4434. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By Abdullah Ibn Umar : A group of Jews came and invited the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) to Quff. So he visited them in their school. They said: AbulQasim, one of our men has committed fornication with a woman; so pronounce judgment upon them. They placed a cushion for the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) who sat on it and said: Bring the Torah. It was then brought. He then withdrew the cushion from beneath him and placed the Torah on it saying: I believed in thee and in Him Who revealed thee. He then said: Bring me one who is learned among you. Then a young man was brought. The transmitter then mentioned the rest of the tradition of stoning similar to the one transmitted by Malik from Nafi'(No. 4431). AbuDawud Book 033, Hadith Number 4435. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known. Narated By AbuHurayrah : (This is Ma'mar's version which is more accurate.) A man and a woman of the Jews committed fornication. Some of them said to the others: Let us go to this Prophet, for he has been sent with an easy law. If he gives a judgment lighter than stoning, we shall accept it, and argue about it with Allah, saying: It is a judgment of one of your prophets. So they came to the Prophet (pbuh) who was sitting in the mosque among his companions. They said: AbulQasim, what do you think about a man and a woman who committed fornication? He did not speak to them a word till he went to their school. He stood at the gate and said: I adjure you by Allah Who revealed the Torah to Moses, what (punishment) do you find in the Torah for a person who commits fornication, if he is married? They said: He shall be blackened with charcoal, taken round a donkey among the people, and flogged. A young man among them kept silent. When the Prophet (pbuh) emphatically adjured him, he said: By Allah, since you have adjured us (we inform you that) we find stoning in the Torah (is the punishment for fornication). The Prophet (pbuh) said: So when did you lessen the severity of Allah's command? He said: A relative of one of our kings had committed fornication, but his stoning was suspended. Then a man of a family of common people committed fornication. He was to have been stoned, but his people intervened and said: Our man shall not be stoned until you bring your man and stone him. So they made a compromise on this punishment between them. The Prophet (pbuh) said: So I decide in accordance with what the Torah says. He then commanded regarding them and they were stoned to death. Az-Zuhri said: We have been informed that this verse was revealed about them: "It was We Who revealed the Law (to Moses): therein was guidance and light. By its standard have been judged the Jews, by the Prophet who bowed (as in Islam) to Allah's will. AbuDawud Book 033, Hadith Number 4441. ------------------------------ Chapter : Not known.

If she made her lawful for you, I shall flog you one hundred lashes. If she did not make her lawful for you, I shall stone you to death. So they found that she had made her lawful for him.

A slave-girl of someone visited him, and he was cheered by her and had unlawful intercourse with her. When his people came to visit the patient, he told them about it. He said: Ask the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) about the legal verdict for me, for I have had unlawful intercourse with a slave-girl who visited me. So they mentioned it to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) saying: We have never seen anyone (so weak) from illness as he is. If we bring him to you, his bones will disintegrate. He is only skin and bone.

Narated By AbdurRahman ibn Azhar : I can still picture myself looking at the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) who was among the camps of the Companions seeking the camp of Khalid ibn al-Walid, when a man who had drunk wine was brought before him.

So they beat him with what they had in their hands. Some struck him with whips, some with sticks and some with sandals. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) threw some dust on his face. When a man who had drunk wine was brought before AbuBakr, he asked them (i.e. the people) about the number of beatings which they gave him. They numbered it forty. So AbuBakr gave him forty lashes. When Umar came to power, Khalid ibn al-Walid wrote to him: The people have become addicted to drinking wine and they look down upon the prescribed punishment and its penalty. He said: They are with you, ask them. The immigrants who embraced Islam in the beginning were with him. He asked them and they agreed on the fact that (a drunkard) should be given eighty lashes.

But if a man of an-Nadir killed a man of Qurayzah, a hundred wasq of dates would be paid as blood-money. When Prophethood was bestowed upon the Prophet (pbuh), a man of an-Nadir killed a man of Qurayzah. They said: Give him to us, we shall kill him. They replied: We have the Prophet (pbuh) between you and us. So they came to him. Thereupon the following verse was revealed: "If thou judge, judge in equity between them." "In equity" means life for a life. The following verse was then revealed: "Do they seek of a judgment of (the days) ignorance?"

AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4481. ------------------------------ Chapter : If authorities ask relatives of a slain to forgo their right what should they do. Narated By Abu Shurayh al-Khuza'i : The Prophet (pbuh) said: If a relative of anyone is killed, or if he suffers khabl, which means a wound, he may choose one of the three things: he may retaliate, or forgive, or receive compensation.

The slayer said: Apostle of Allah, I swear by Allah, I did not intend to kill him. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said to the legal guardian: Now if he is true and you kill him, you will enter Hell-fire. So he let him go. His hands were tied with a strap. He came out pulling his strap. Hence he was called Dhu an-Nis'ah (possessor of strap).

He said: Take him. When he turned his back, he said: Do you forgive him? He said: No. He said: Will you accept the blood-money? He said: No. He said: Will you kill him? He said: Yes. He said: Take him. After repeating all this a fourth time, he said: If you forgive him, he will bear the burden of his own sin and the sin of the victim. He then forgave him.

He said: No. He said: What is your opinion if I send you so that you ask the people (for money) and thus collect your blood-wit? He said: No. He said: Will your masters give you his blood-wit (to pay his relatives)? He said: No. He said to the man. Take him. So he brought him out to kill him. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: If he kills him, he will be like him. This (statement) reached the man where he was listening t the statement. He said: He is here; order regarding him as you like. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Leave him alone.

Narated By Uthman ibn Affan : Abu Umamah ibn Sahl said: We were with Uthman when he was besieged in the house. There was an entrance to the house. He who entered it heard the speech of those who were in the Bilat. Uthman then entered it. He came out to us, looking pale. He said: They are threatening to kill me now. We said: Allah will be sufficient for you against them, Commander of the Faithful! He asked: Why kill me? I heard the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) say: It is not lawful to kill a man who is a Muslim except for one of the three reasons: Kufr (disbelief) after accepting Islam, fornication after marriage, or wrongfully killing someone, for which he may be killed. I swear by Allah, I have not committed fornication before or after the coming of Islam, nor did I ever want another religion for me instead of my religion since Allah gave guidance to me, nor have I killed anyone. So for what reason do you want to kill me? Abu Dawud said: 'Uthman and 'Abu bakr (Allah be pleased with them) abandoned drinking wine in pre-Islamic times. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4488. ------------------------------ Chapter : If authorities ask relatives of a slain to forgo their right what should they do. Narated By Sa'd ibn Dumayrah al-Aslami Dumayrah al-Aslami : Ziyad ibn Sa'd ibn Dumayrah as-Sulami said on the authority of his father (Sa'd) and his grandfather (Dumayrah) (according to Musa's version) who were present in the battle of Hunayn with the Apostle of Allah (pbuh): After the advent of Islam, Muhallam ibn Jaththamah al-Laythi killed a man of Ashja'. That was the first blood-money decided by the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) (for payment). Uyaynah spoke about the killing of al-Ashja'i, for he belonged to Ghatafan, and al-Aqra' ibn Habis spoke on behalf of Muhallam, for he belonged to Khunduf. The voices rose high, and the dispute and noise grew. So the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Do you not accept blood-money, Uyaynah? Uyaynah then said: No, I swear by Allah, until I cause his women to suffer the same fighting and grief as he caused my women to suffer. Again the voices rose high, and the dispute and noise grew. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Do you not accept the blood-money Uyaynah? Uyaynah gave the same reply as before, and a man of Banu Layth called Mukaytil stood up. He had a weapon and a skin shield in his hand. He said: I do not find in the beginning of Islam any illustration for what he has done except the one that "some sheep came on, and those in the front were shot; hence those in the rear ran away". (The other example is that) "make a law today and change it." The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Fifty (camels) here immediately and fifty when we return to Medina. This happened during some of his journeys. Muhallam was a tall man of dark complexion. He was with the people. They continued (to make effort for him) until he was released. He sat before the Apostle of Allah (pbuh), with his eyes flowing. He said: Apostle of Allah! I have done (the act) of which you have been informed. I repent to Allah, the Exalted, so ask Allah's forgiveness for me. Apostle of Allah! The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then said: Did you kill him with your weapon at the beginning of Islam. O Allah! do not forgive Muhallam. He said these words loudly. AbuSalamah added: He (Muhallam) then got up while he was wiping his tears with the end of his garment. Ibn Ishaq said: His people alleged that the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) asked forgiveness for him after that.

Narated By Anas b. Malik : A Jewess brought a poisoned sheep to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him), and be ate of it. She was then brought to the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) who asked her about it. She said: I intended to kill you. He said: Allah will not give you control over it; or he said: over me. They (the Companions) said: Should we not kill her? He said: No. He (Anas) said: I always found it in the uvula of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him).

A group of his companions also ate with him. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then said: Take your hands away (from the food). The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then sent someone to the Jewess and he called her. He said to her: Have you poisoned this sheep? The Jewess replied: Who has informed you? He said: This foreleg which I have in my hand has informed me. She said: Yes. He said: What did you intend by it? She said: I thought if you were a prophet, it would not harm you; if you were not a prophet, we should rid ourselves of him (i.e. the Prophet). The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then forgave her, and did not punish her. But some of his companions who ate it, died. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) had himself cupped on his shoulder on account of that which he had eaten from the sheep. AbuHind cupped him with the horn and knife. He was a client of Banu Bayadah from the Ansar. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4496. ------------------------------ Chapter : If a man gives another poison to drink or eat will retaliation be taken on him or not. Narated By Abu Salamah : A Jewess presented a roasted sheep to the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) at Khaybar. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition like that of Jabir (No. 4495). He said: Then Bashir ibn al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur al-Ansari died. He sent someone to call on the Jewess, and said to her (when she came): What motivated you to do the work you have done? He then mentioned the rest of the tradition similar to the one mentioned by Jabir (No. 4495). The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then ordered regarding her and she was killed. But he (Abu Salamah) did not mention the matter of cupping. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4497. ------------------------------ Chapter : If a man gives another poison to drink or eat will retaliation be taken on him or not.

He then said: Take away your hands (from the food), for it has informed me that it is poisoned. Bishr ibn al-Bara' ibn Ma'rur al-Ansari died. So he (the Prophet) sent for the Jewess (and said to her): What motivated you to do the work you have done? She said: If you were a prophet, it would not harm you; but if you were a king, I should rid the people of you. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then ordered regarding her and she was killed.

I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at Khaybar. The Prophet (pbuh) said: And I do not think about my illness except that. This is the time when it cut off my aorta. Abu Dawud said: Sometimes 'Abd al-Razzaq transmitted this tradition, omitting the link of the Companion, from Ma'rnar, from al-Zuhri, from the Prophet (may peace be upon him), and sometimes he transmitted it from al-Zuhri from 'Abd al -Rahman b. Ka'b b. Malik. 'Abd al-Rahman mentioned that Ma'mar sometimes trans-mitted the tradition in a mursal form (omitting the link of the Companion), and they recorded it, and sometimes he transmitted it in a mursal form (with a perfect chain) and they recorded it. And all this is correct with us. 'Abd al-Razzaq said: When Ibn al-Mubarak came to Ma'mar, he transmitted the traditions in a musnad form (with a perfect chain) which he transmitted as mauquf traditions (statements of the Companions and not of the Prophet). AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4500. ------------------------------ Chapter : If a man gives another poison to drink or eat will retaliation be taken on him or not.

He then mentioned the tradition of Makhlad b. Khalid in a way similar to the tradition of Jabir. The narrator said: Then Bishr b. al-Bara' b. Ma'rur died. So he (the Prophet) sent for the Jewess and said: What did motivate you for the work you have done? He (the narrator) then mentioned the rest of the tradition like the tradition of Jabir. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered regarding her and she was killed. He (the narrator in this version) did not mention cupping. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4501. ------------------------------ Chapter : If a man kills his slave or cuts off one of his limbs retaliation will be taken on him. Narated By Samurah : The Prophet (pbuh) Said: If anyone kills his slave, we shall kill him, and if anyone cuts off the nose of his slave, we shall cut off his nose. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4502. ------------------------------ Chapter : If a man kills his slave or cuts off one of his limbs retaliation will be taken on him. Narated By N/A : Qatadah said through the same chain of narrators as mentioned before, i.e. Samurah reported the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as saying.: If one castrates his slave, we shall castrate him. He then mentioned the rest of the addition like that of Shu'bah and Hammad. Abu Dawud said: Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi transmited it from Hisham like the condition of Mu'adh. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4503. ------------------------------ Chapter : If a man kills his slave or cuts off one of his limbs retaliation will be taken on him.

He said that it was an evil one. He saw the slave-girl of his master; he became jealous of him, and cut off his penis. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: Bring the man to me. The man was called, but people could not get control over him. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then said: Go away, you are free. He asked: Apostle of Allah! upon whom does my help lie? He replied: On every believer, or he said: On every Muslim. Abu Dawud said: The name of the man who was emancipated was Rawh b. Dinar. Abu Dawud said: The man who cut off the penis was Zinba'. Abu Dawud said: This Zinba' Abu Rawh was master of the slave. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4505. ------------------------------ Chapter : Taking oaths by the people of a locality regarding a murder therein. Narated By N/A : Sahl b. Abi Hathmah and Rafi' b. Khadij said : Muhayyasah b. Mas'ud and 'Abd Allah b. Sahl came to Khaibar and parted (from each other) among palm trees. 'Abd Allah b. Sahl was killed. The Jews were blamed (for the murder). 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl and Huwayyasah and Mubayyasah, the sons of his uncle (Mas'ud) came to the Prophet (may peace be upon him). 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the youngest, spoke about his brother, but the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to him: (Respect) the elder, (respect) the elder, or be said: Let the eldest begin. They then spoke about their friend and the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Fifty of you should take oaths regarding a man from them (the Jews) and he should be entrusted (to him) with his rope (in his neck). They said: It is a matter which we did not see. How can we take oaths? He said: The Jews exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said : Apostle of Allah! They are a people who are infidels. So the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) paid them the bloodwit himself. Sahl said: Once I entered the resting place of their camels, and a she-camel struck me with her leg. Hammad said this or (something) similar to it. Abu Dawud said: Another version transmitted by Yahya b. Sa'id has: Would you swear fifty oaths and make your claim regarding your friend or your slain man? Bishr, the transmitter, did mention blood. 'Abdah transmitted it from Yahya -as transmitted by Hammad. Ibn 'Uyainah has also transmitted it from Yahya, and began with his words: The Jews will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths which they will swear He did not mention the claim. Abu Dawud said: This is a misunderstanding on the part of Ibn 'Uyainah. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4506. ------------------------------ Chapter : Taking oaths by the people of a locality regarding a murder therein. Narated By N/A : Sahl b. Abi Hathmah and some senior men of the tribe told that 'Abd Allah b. Abi Sahl and Muhayyasah came to Khaibar on account of the calamity (i.e. famine) that befell them. Muhayyasah came and told that 'Abd Allah b. Sahl had been killed and thrown in a well or a stream. He then came to the Jews and said: I swear by Allah, you have killed him. They said: We swear by Allah, we have not kill-ed him. He then proceeded and came to his tribe and mentioned this to them. Then he, his brother Huwayyasah, who was older than him, and 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl came forward (to the Prophet). Muhayyasah began to speak. It was he who was at Khaibar. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) then said to him: Let the eldest (speak), let the eldest (speak), meaning age. So Huwayyasah spoke, and after him Mubayyasah spoke. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) then said: They should either pay the bloodwit for your friend or they should be prepared for war. So the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) wrote to them about it. They wrote (in reply): We swear by Allah, we have not killed him. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be Upon him) then said to Huwayyasah, Muhayyasah and 'Abd al-Rahman: Will you take an oath and thus have the claim to the blood of your friend? They said: No. He (the Prophet) said: The Jews will then take an oath. They said: They are not Muslims. Then the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) himself paid the bloodwit. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) then sent on one hundred she-camels and they were entered in their house. Sahl said: A red she-camel of them gave me a kick. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4507. ------------------------------ Chapter : Taking oaths by the people of a locality regarding a murder therein. Narated By Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) killed a man of Banu Nadr ibn Malik at Harrah ar-Righa' at the bank of Layyat al-Bahrah. The transmitter Mahmud (ibn Khalid) also mentioned the words along with the words "at Bahrah" "the slayer and the slain were from among them". Mahmud alone transmitted in this tradition the words "at the bank of Layyah". AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4508. ------------------------------ Chapter : Abandonment of retaliation in the case of qasamah taking oaths. Narated By N/A : Bashir b. Yasir told that a man of the Ansar called Sahl b. Abu Hathmah told him that some people of his tribe went to Khaibar and separated there. They found one of them slain. They said to those with whom they had found him: You have killed our friend. They replied: We did not kill him, nor do we know the slayer. We (the people of the slain) then went to the Prophet of Allah (may peace be upon him). He said to them: Bring a proof against the one who has slain him. They replied: We have no proof. He said: Then they will take an oath for you. They said: We do not accept the oaths of the Jewr. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be' upon him) did not like that no responsibility should be fixed for his blood. So he himself paid his bloodwit consisting of one hundred camels of sadaqah (i.e. camels sent to the Prophet as zakat). AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4509. ------------------------------ Chapter : Abandonment of retaliation in the case of qasamah taking oaths. Narated By Rafi' ibn Khadij : A man of the Ansar was killed at Khaybar and his relatives went to the Prophet (pbuh) and mentioned that to him. He asked: Have you two witnesses who can testify to the murderer of your friend? They replied: Apostle of Allah! there was not a single Muslim present, but only Jews who sometimes have the audacity to do even greater crimes than this. He said: Then choose fifty of them and demand that they take an oath; but they refused and the Prophet (pbuh) paid the blood-wit himself. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4510. ------------------------------ Chapter : Abandonment of retaliation in the case of qasamah taking oaths. Narated By N/A : 'Abd al-Rahman b. Bujaid said I swear by Allah, Sahl had a misunderstanding about this tradition. The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) wrote to the Jews: A slain man has been found amongst you, so pay his bloodwit. They wrote (to him): Swearing by Allah fifty oaths, we neither killed him nor do we know his slayer. He said: Then the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) himself paid his bloodwit which consisted of one hundred she-camels. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4511. ------------------------------ Chapter : Abandonment of retaliation in the case of qasamah taking oaths. Narated By Some men : The Prophet (pbuh) said to the Jews and started with them: Fifty of you should take the oaths. But they refused (to take the oaths). He then said to the Ansar: Prove your claim. They said: Do we take the oaths without seeing, Apostle of Allah? The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) then imposed the blood-wit on the Jews because he (the slain) was found among them. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4512. ------------------------------ Chapter : Retaliation shall be taken on the slayer with a stone or in the same manner as he killed. Narated By Anas : A girl was found with her head crushed between two stones. She was asked: Who has done this to you? Is it so and so? Is it so and so, until a Jew was named, and she gave a sigh with her head. The Jew was caught and he admitted.

Narated By Ali ibn Abu Talib : Qays ibn Abbad and Ashtar went to Ali and said to him: Did the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) give you any instruction about anything for which he did not give any instruction to the people in general? He said: No, except what is contained in this document of mine. Musaddad said: He then took out a document. Ahmad said: A document from the sheath of his sword. It contained: The lives of all Muslims are equal; they are one hand against others; the lowliest of them can guarantee their protection. Beware, a Muslim must not be killed for an infidel, nor must one who has been given a covenant be killed while his covenant holds. If anyone introduces an innovation, he will be responsible for it. If anyone introduces an innovation or gives shelter to a man who introduces an innovation (in religion), he is cursed by Allah, by His angels, and by all the people. Musaddad said: Ibn AbuUrubah's version has: He took out a document. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4516. ------------------------------ Chapter : Should a muslim be killed for an infidel.

The Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: Listen to what your chief is saying. The narrator 'Abd al-Wabhab said: (Listen) to what Sa'd is saying. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4518. ------------------------------ Chapter : If a man finds someone with his wife should he kill him. Narated By N/A : Abu Hurairah told that Sa'd b.

The Prophet (pbuh) said: You may have so much and so much. But they did not agree. He again said: You may have so much and so much. But they did not agree. He again said: You may have so much and so much. So they agreed. The Prophet (pbuh) said: I am going to address the people in the afternoon and tell them about your consent. They said: Yes. Addressing (the people), the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: These people of faith came to me asking for revenge. I presented them with so much and so much and they agreed. Do you agree? They said: No. The immigrants (muhajirun) intended (to take revenge) on them. But the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) commanded them to refrain and they refrained. He then called them and increased (the amount), and asked: Do you agree? They replied: Yes. He said: I am going to address the people and tell them about your consent. They said: Yes. The Prophet (pbuh) addressed and said: Do you agree? They said: Yes. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4520. ------------------------------ Chapter : Taking retaliation without a weapon of iron. Narated By Anas : A girl was found with her head crushed between two stones. She was asked: Who did it with you? Was it so and so? Was it so and so? Until the Jew was named.

Narated By Umar ibn al-Khattab : I did not send my collectors (of zakat) so that they strike your bodies and that they take your property.

Narated By 'Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin : The Prophet (pbuh) Said: The disputants should refrain from taking retaliation. The one who is nearer should forgive first and then the one who is next to him, even if (the one who forgives) were a woman. Abu Dawud said: I have been informed that forgiving by women in the case of murder is permissible if a woman were one of the heirs (of the slain). I have been told on the authority of Abu 'Ubaid about the meaning of the word yanhajizu, that is, they should refrain from retaliation. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4524. ------------------------------ Chapter : On a person who is killed among his people and his slayer is not known. Narated By N/A : Tawus in his version said: If anyone is killed. Ibn 'Ubaid in his version said: The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: If anyone is killed in error (blind-ly) when people are throwing stones, or by beating with whips, or striking with a stick, it is accidental and the compensation for accidental death is due. But if anyone is killed deliberately, retaliation is due. Ibn 'Ubaid said in his version: Retaliation of the man is due. The agreed version then goes: If anyone comes in (between the two parties) to prevent it, Allah's curse and anger will rest on him, and neither supererogatory nor obligatory acts will be accepted from him. The version of the tradition of Sufyan is more perfect. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4525. ------------------------------ Chapter : On a person who is killed among his people and his slayer is not known. Narated By N/A : Ibn 'Abbas reported the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) as say-ing. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect as mentioned by Sufyan.

AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4527. ------------------------------ Chapter : The amount of bloodwit. Narated By Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As : The value of the blood-money at the time of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) was eight hundred dinars or eight thousand dirhams, and the blood-money for the people of the AbuDawud Book was half of that for Muslims. He said: This applied till Umar (Allah be pleased with him) became caliph and he made a speech in which he said: Take note! Camels have become dear. So Umar fixed the value for those who possessed gold at one thousand dinars, for those who possessed silver at twelve thousand (dirhams), for those who possessed cattle at two hundred cows, for those who possessed sheep at two thousand sheep, and for those who possessed suits of clothing at two hundred suits. He left the blood-money for dhimmis (protected people) as it was, not raising it in proportion to the increase he made in the blood-wit. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4528. ------------------------------ Chapter : The amount of bloodwit. Narated By Ata' ibn Abu Rabah : The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) gave judgment that blood-wit for those who possessed camels should be one hundred camels, and for those who possessed cattle two hundred cows, and for those who possessed sheep one thousand sheep, and for those who possessed suits of clothing two hundred suits, and for those who possessed wheat something which the narrator Muhammad (ibn Ishaq) did not remember. Abu Dawud said: I read out to Sa'id b. Yaqub al-Taliqani who said: Abu Tumailah transmitted to us, saying: Muhammad b. Ishaq transmitted to us, saying: 'Ata reported Jabir b. Abd Allah as saying: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) fixed; and he mentioned the tradition like that of Musa; he said: And those who possess corn food should pay something which I do not remember.

It does not beyond Ibn Mas'ud. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4530. ------------------------------ Chapter : The amount of bloodwit. Narated By Abdullah ibn Abbas : A man of Banu Adi was killed. The Prophet (pbuh) fixed his blood-wit at the rate of twelve thousand (dirhams). AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4531. ------------------------------ Chapter : Bloodwit for accidental killing that is quasiintentional killing. Narated By Abdullah ibn Amr : (Musaddad's version has): The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) made a speech on the day of the conquest of Mecca, and said: Allah is Most Great, three times. He then said: There is no god but Allah alone: He fulfilled His promise, helped His servant, and alone defeated the companies. (The narrator said:) I have remembered from Musaddad up to this. Then the agreed version has: Take note! All the merits mentioned in pre-Islamic times, and the claim made for blood or property are under my feet, except the supply of water to the pilgrims and the custody of the Ka'bah. He then said: The blood-money for unintentional murder which appears intentional, such as is done with a whip and a stick, is one hundred camels, forty of which are pregnant. Musaddad's version is more accurate. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4532. ------------------------------ Chapter : Bloodwit for accidental killing that is quasiintentional killing. Narated By N/A : The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Khalid through the same chain of narrators to the same effect.

Narated By N/A : The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet (may peace be upon him) to the same effect. This version has: The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) addressed on the day of Conquest, or he said: On the conquest of Mecca on the ladder of the House or of the Ka'bah. Abu Dawud said: In a similar way Ibn 'Uyainah also transmitted it from 'Ali b. Zaid, from al-Qasim b.

Abu Dawud said: I found in my noteAbuDawud Book from Shaiban and I did not hear from him; Abu Bakr, a reliable friend of ours said: Shaiban - Muhammad b. Rashid - Sulaiman b. Musa - 'Amr b. Shu'aib said that his grandfather, Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) would fix the blood-money for accidental killing at the rate of four hundred dinars or their equivalent in silver for townsmen, and he would fix it according to the price of camels. So when they were dear, he increased the amount to be paid, and when cheap prices prevailed he reduced the amount to be paid. In the time of the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) they reached between four hundred and eight hundred dinars, their equivalent in silver being eight thousand dirhams. He said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) gave judgment that those who possessed cattle should pay two hundred cows, and those who possessed sheep two thousand sheep. He said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: The blood-money is to be treated as something to be inherited by the heirs of the one who has been killed, and the remainder should be divided among the agnates. He said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) gave judgment that for cutting off a nose completely there was full blood-money, one hundred (camels) were to be paid. If the tip of the nose was cut off, half of the blood-money, i.e. fifty camels were to be paid, or their equivalent in gold or in silver, or a hundred cows, or one thousand sheep. For the hand, when it was cut of half of the blood-money was to be paid; for one foot of half, the blood-money was to be paid. For a wound in the head, a third of the blood-money was due, i.e. thirty-three camels and a third of the blood-money, or their equivalent in gold, silver, cows or sheep. For a head thrust which reaches the body, the same blood-money was to be paid. Ten camels were to be paid for every finger, and five camels for every tooth. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) gave judgment that the blood-money for a woman should be divided among her relatives on her father's side, who did not inherit anything from her except the residence of her heirs. If she was killed, her blood-money should be distributed among her heirs, and they would have the right of taking revenge on the murderer. The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) said: There is nothing for the murderer; and if he (the victim) has no heir, his heir will be the one who is nearest to him among the people, but the murderer should not inherit anything. Muhammad said: All this has been transmitted to me by Sulayman ibn Musa on the authority of Amr ibn Shu'ayb who, on his father's authority, said that his grandfather heard it from the Prophet (pbuh). Abu Dawud said: Muhammad b. Rashid, an inhabitant of Damascus, fled from Basrah escaping murder. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4548. ------------------------------ Chapter : Bloodwit for limbs. Narated By Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As : The Prophet (pbuh) said: Blood-wit for what resembles intentional murder is to be made as severe as that for intentional murder, but the culprit is not to be killed.

One of them struck her fellow-wife with a tent-pole and killed her and her unborn child. They brought the dispute to the Prophet (may peace be upon him). One of the two men said: How can we pay bloodwit for the one who did not make a noise, nor ate, nor drank, nor raised his voice? He (the Prophet) asked: Is it a rhymed prose like that of a bedouin? He gave judgment that a male or female slave of the best quality should be paid in compensation, and he fixed it to be paid by the woman's relatives on her father's side. AbuDawud Book 034, Hadith Number 4552. ------------------------------ Chapter : Bloodwit for an unborn child.

He said: Bring another man with you who should testify you. So he brought Muhammad b. Maslamah to him. Harun added: He then testified him. Imlas means a man striking the belly of his wife. Abu Dawud said: I have been informed that Abu 'Ubaid said : It (Abortion) is called imlas because the woman causes it to slip before the time of delivery.

One of them struck another with a rolling-pin killing both her and what was in her womb. So the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) gave judgment that the blood-wit for the unborn child should be a male or a female slave of the best quality and that she should be killed. Abu Dawud said: Al-Nadr b. Shumail said: Mistal, means a rolling-pin. Abu Dawud said: Abu 'Ubaid said: Mista1 means a pole from the tent-poles.

The father of the woman who had slain said: He is a liar: I swear by Allah, he did not raise his voice, or drink or eat. No compensation is to be paid for an offence like this. The Prophet (pbuh) said: is it a rhymed prose of pre-Islamic Arabia and its soothsaying? Pay a male or female slave of the best quality in compensation for the child. Ibn 'Abbas said: The name of one of them was Mulaikah, and the name of the other was Umm Ghutaif.

He made her Sons and those who were with them her heirs. Hamal b. Malik b. al-Nabighah al-Hudhali said: Apostle of Allah! how should I be fined for one who has not drunk, or eaten, or spoken, or raised his voice ?-adding that compensation is not to be paid for such (an offence).

But it will be joined and he will ascend it. Tell me. Apostle of Allah, whether I am right or wrong. He said: You are partly right and partly wrong.

The version of Jabir adds here: He hears the beat of their sandals when they go back, and at that moment he is asked: O so and so! Who is your Lord, what is your religion, and who is your Prophet?

He will reply: My religion is Islam. They will ask him: What is your opinion about the man who was sent on a mission among you? He will reply: He is the Apostle of Allah (pbuh). They will ask: Who made you aware of this? He will reply: I read Allah's AbuDawud Book, believed in it, and considered it true; which is verified by Allah's words: "Allah's AbuDawud Book, believed in it, and considered it true, which is verified by Allah's words: "Allah establishes those who believe with the word that stands firm in this world and the next." The agreed version reads: Then a crier will call from Heaven: My servant has spoken the truth, so spread a bed for him from Paradise, clothe him from Paradise, and open a door for him into Paradise. So some of its air and perfume will come to him, and a space will be made for him as far as the eye can see. He also mentioned the death of the infidel, saying: His spirit will be restored to his body, two angels will come to him, make him sit up and ask him: Who is your Lord? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask him: What is your religion? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask: Who was the man who was sent on a mission among you? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. Then a crier will call from Heaven: He has lied, so spread a bed for him from Hell, clothe him from Hell, and open for him a door into Hell.

They will not return to it till the arrow comes back to its notch. They are worst of the people and animals. Happy is the one who kills them and they kill him.

I did not make a mistake except in one thing that I forgot. He said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) used to say: Do not impose austerities on yourselves so that austerities will be imposed on you, for people have imposed austerities on themselves and Allah imposed austerities on them. Their survivors are to be found in cells and monasteries. (Then he quoted:) "Monasticism, they invented it; we did not prescribe it for them." Next day he went out in the morning and said: will you not go out for a ride, so that you may see something and take a lesson from it? He said: Yes. Then all of them rode away and reached a land whose inhabitants had perished, passed away and died. The roofs of the town had fallen in. He asked: Do you know this land? I said: Who acquainted me with it and its inhabitants? (Anas said:) This is the land of the people whom oppression and envy destroyed.

Let those whom your right hands possess, and the (children) among you, who have not come of age, ask your permission (before) they enter your presence on three occasions: before morning prayer, while you are undressing for the noonday heat, and after late-night prayer. These are your three times of undress; outside those times it is not wrong for you or for them to move about." Al-Qa'nabi recited the verse up to "full of knowledge and wisdom". Ibn Abbas said: Allah is Most Clement and Most Merciful to the believers. He loves concealment. The people had neither curtains nor curtained canopies in their houses. Sometimes a servant, a child or a female orphan of a man entered while the man was having sexual intercourse with his wife. So Allah commanded them to ask permission in those times of undress.
