Bk. 62: Wedlock, Marriage (Nikaah)
7.1:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: A group of three men came to the
houses of the wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet
worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that,
they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where
are we from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been
forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer
throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will fast
throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third
said, "I will keep away from the women and will not marry
forever." Allah's Apostle came to them and said, "Are you the
same people who said so−and−so? By Allah, I am more submissive
to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break
my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not
follow my tradition in religion, is not from me (not one of my
followers).
7.2:
Narrated 'Ursa:
that he asked `Aisha about the Statement of Allah: 'If you
fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan
girls, then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three
or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal
justly (with them), then only one, or (the captives) that your
right hands possess. That will be nearer to prevent you from
doing injustice.' ( 4.3) `Aisha said, "O my nephew! (This
Verse has been revealed in connection with) an orphan girl
under the guardianship of her guardian who is attracted by her
wealth and beauty and intends to marry her with a Mahr less
than what other women of her standard deserve. So they (such
guardians) have been forbidden to marry them unless they do
justice to them and give them their full Mahr, and they are
ordered to marry other women instead of them."
7.3:
Narrated 'Alqama:
While I was with `Abdullah, `Uthman met him at Mina and said,
"O Abu `Abdur−Rahman ! I have something to say to you." So
both of them went aside and `Uthman said, "O Abu `Abdur−Rah.
man! Shall we marry you to a virgin who will make you remember
your past days?" When `Abdullah felt that he was not in need
of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying, "O 'Alqama!"
Then I heard him saying (in reply to `Uthman), "As you have
said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet once said to us, 'O
young people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should
marry, and whoever is not able to marry, is recommended to
fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.
7.4:
Narrated `Abdullah: We were with the Prophet while we were
young and had no wealth whatever. So Allah's Apostle said, "O
young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry,
because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty
(i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual
intercourse etc.), and whoever is not able to marry, should
fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power."
7.5:
Narrated 'Ata:
We presented ourselves along with Ibn `Abbas at the funeral
procession of Maimuna at a place called Sarif. Ibn `Abbas
said, "This is the wife of the Prophet so when you lift her
bier, do not Jerk it or shake it much, but walk smoothly
because the Prophet had nine wives and he used to observe the
night turns with eight of them, and for one of them there was
no night turn."
7.6:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet I used to go round (have sexual relations with)
all his wives in one night, and he had nine wives.
7.7:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: Ibn `Abbas asked me, "Are you
married?" I replied, "No." He said, "Marry, for the best
person of this (Muslim) nation (i.e., Muhammad) of all other
Muslims, had the largest number of wives."
7.8:
Narrated `Umar bin Al−Khattab: The Prophet said, "The rewards
(of deeds) are according to the intention, and everybody will
get the reward for what he has intended. So whoever emigrated
for Allah's and His Apostle's sake, his emigration was for
Allah and His Apostle; and whoever emigrated for worldly
benefits, or to marry a woman, then his emigration was for the
thing for what he emigrated for." (1)
7.9:
Narrated Ibn Masud: We used to fight in the holy battles in
the company of the Prophet and we had no wives with us. So we
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we get castrated?" The Prophet
forbade us to do so. 7.10:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: `Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf came (from
Mecca to Medina) and the Prophet made a bond of brotherhood
between him and Sa`d bin Ar−Rabi` Al−Ansari. Al−Ansari had two
wives, so he suggested that `Abdur−Rahman take half, his wives
and property. `Abdur−Rahman replied, "May Allah bless you with
your wives and property. Kindly show me the market." So
`Abdur−Rahman went to the market and gained (in bargains) some
dried yoghurt and some butter. After a few days the Prophet
saw `Abdur−Rahman with some yellow stains on his clothes and
asked him, "What is that, O `Abdur−Rahman?" He replied, "I had
married an Ansari woman." The Prophet asked, "How much Mahr
did you give her?" He replied, "The weight of one (date) stone
of gold." The Prophet said, "Offer a banquet, even with one
sheep."
7.11:
Narrated Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas: Allah's Apostle forbade `Uthman
bin Maz'un to abstain from marrying (and other pleasures) and
if he had allowed him, we would have gotten ourselves
castrated.
7.12:
Narrated Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas: The Prophet prevented `Uthman
bin Mazun from that (not marrying), and had he allowed him, we
would have got ourselves castrated. 7.1
3.1:
Narrated `Abdullah: We used to participate in the holy battles
led by Allah's Apostle and we had nothing (no wives) with us.
So we said, "Shall we get ourselves castrated?" He forbade us
that and then allowed us to marry women with a temporary
contract (2) and recited to us: −− 'O you who believe ! Make
not unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for
you, but commit no transgression.' (5.87)
7.1
3.2:
Narrated Abu Huraira: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am a young
man and I am afraid that I may commit illegal sexual
intercourse and I cannot afford to marry." He kept silent, and
then repeated my question once again, but he kept silent. I
said the same (for the third time) and he remained silent.
Then repeated my question (for the fourth time), and only then
the Prophet said, "O Abu Huraira! The pen has dried after
writing what you are going to confront. So (it does not matter
whether you) get yourself castrated or not."
7.14:
Narrated `Aisha :
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Suppose you landed in a valley
where there is a tree of which something has been eaten and
then you found trees of which nothing has been eaten, of which
tree would you let your camel graze?" He said, "(I will let my
camel graze) of the one of which nothing has been eaten
before." (The sub−narrator added: `Aisha meant that Allah's
Apostle had not married a virgin besides herself .)
7.15:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said (to me), "You have been shown to me twice
in (my) dreams. A man was carrying you in a silken cloth and
said to me, 'This is your wife.' I uncovered it; and behold,
it was you. I said to myself, 'If this dream is from Allah, He
will cause it to come true.' "
7.16:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: While we were returning from a
Ghazwa (Holy Battle) with the Prophet, I started driving my
camel fast, as it was a lazy camel A rider came behind me and
pricked my camel with a spear he had with him, and then my
camel started running as fast as the best camel you may see.
Behold! The rider was the Prophet himself. He said, 'What
makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, I am newly married " He
said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron? I replied, "A
matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl so that
you may play with her and she with you?" When we were about to
enter (Medina), the Prophet said, "Wait so that you may enter
(Medina) at night so that the lady of unkempt hair may comb
her hair and the one whose husband has been absent may shave
her pubic region.
7.17:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: When I got married, Allah's
Apostle said to me, "What type of lady have you married?" I
replied, "I have married a matron' He said, "Why, don't you
have a liking for the virgins and for fondling them?" Jabir
also said: Allah's Apostle said, "Why didn't you marry a young
girl so that you might play with her and she with you?'
7.18:
Narrated 'Ursa:
The Prophet asked Abu Bakr for `Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu
Bakr said "But I am your brother." The Prophet said, "You are
my brother in Allah's religion and His Book, but she (Aisha)
is lawful for me to marry."
7.19:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The best women are
the riders of the camels and the righteous among the women of
Quraish. They are the kindest women to their children in their
childhood and the more careful women of the property of their
husbands."
7.20:
Narrated Abu Burda's father: Allah's Apostle said, any man who
has a slave girl whom he educates properly, teaches good
manners, manumits and marries her, will get a double reward
And if any man of the people of the Scriptures believes in his
own prophet and then believes in me too, he will (also) get a
double reward And any slave who fulfills his duty to his
master and to his Lord, will (also) get a double reward."
7.21:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said: Abraham did not tell
lies except three. (One of them was) when Abraham passed by a
tyrant and (his wife) Sara was accompanying him (Abu Huraira
then mentioned the whole narration and said:) (The tyrant)
gave her Hajar. Sara said, "Allah saved me from the hands of
the Kafir (i.e. infidel) and gave me Hajar to serve me." (Abu
Huraira added:) That (Hajar) is your mother, O Banu
Ma'−As−Sama' (i.e., the Arabs). 7.22:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet stayed for three days between Khaibar and Medina,
and there he consummated his marriage to Safiyya bint Huyai. I
invited the Muslims to the wedding banquet in which neither
meat nor bread was offered. He ordered for leather
dining−sheets to be spread, and dates, dried yoghurt and
butter were laid on it, and that was the Prophet's wedding
banquet. The Muslims wondered, "Is she (Saffiyya) considered
as his wife or his slave girl?" Then they said, "If he orders
her to veil herself, she will be one of the mothers of the
Believers; but if he does not order her to veil herself, she
will be a slave girl. So when the Prophet proceeded from
there, he spared her a space behind him (on his she−camel) and
put a screening veil between her and the people.
7.23:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle manumitted Safiyya
and regarded her manumission as her Mahr.
7.24:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`idi: A woman came to Allah's
Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have come to give you
myself in marriage (without Mahr)." Allah's Apostle looked at
her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance on her
and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not
say anything, she sat down. A man from his companions got up
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! If you are not in need of her,
then marry her to me." The Prophet said, "Have you got
anything to offer?" The man said, "No, by Allah, O Allah's
Apostle!" The Prophet said (to him), "Go to your family and
see if you have something." The man went and returned, saying,
"No, by Allah, I have not found anything." Allah's Apostle
said, "(Go again) and look for something, even if it is an
iron ring." He went again and returned, saying, "No, by Allah,
O Allah's Apostle! I could not find even an iron ring, but
this is my Izar (waist sheet)." He had no rida. He added, "I
give half of it to her." Allah's Apostle said, "What will she
do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will be naked, and if
she wears it, you will be naked." So that man sat down for a
long while and then got up (to depart). When Allah's Apostle
saw him going, he ordered that he be called back. When he
came, the Prophet said, "How much of the Qur'an do you know?"
He said, "I know such Sura and such Sura," counting them. The
Prophet said, "Do you know them by heart?" He replied, "Yes."
The Prophet said, "Go, I marry her to you for that much of the
Qur'an which you have."
7.25:
Narrated `Aisha:
Abu Hudhaifa bin `Utba bin Rabi`a bin `Abdi Shams who had
witnessed the battle of Badr along with the Prophet adopted
Salim as his son, to whom he married his niece, Hind bint
Al−Walid bin `Utba bin Rabi`a; and Salim was the freed slave
of an Ansar woman, just as the Prophet had adopted Zaid as his
son. It was the custom in the Pre−lslamic Period that if
somebody adopted a boy, the people would call him the son of
the adoptive father and he would be the latter's heir. But
when Allah revealed the Divine Verses: 'Call them by (the
names of) their fathers . . . your freed−slaves,' (3
3.5) the adopted persons were called by their fathers' names.
The one whose father was not known, would be regarded as a
Maula and your brother in religion. Later on Sahla bint Suhail
bin `Amr Al−Quraishi Al−`Amiri−−and she was the wife of Abu−
Hudhaifa bin `Utba−−came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! We used to consider Salim as our (adopted) son, and
now Allah has revealed what you know (regarding adopted
sons)." The sub−narrator then mentioned the rest of the
narration.
7.26:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle entered upon Dubaa bint Az−Zubair and said to
her, "Do you have a desire to perform the Hajj?" She replied,
"By Allah, I feel sick." He said to her, "Intend to perform
Hajj and stipulate something by saying, 'O Allah, I will
finish my Ihram at any place where You stop me (i.e. I am
unable to go further)." She was the wife of Al−Miqdad bin
Al−Aswad.
7.27:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A woman is married
for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her
beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious
woman (otherwise) you will be a losers.
7.28:
Narrated Sahl:
A man passed by Allah's Apostle and Allah s Apostle asked (his
companions) "What do you say about this (man)?" They replied
"If he asks for a lady's hand, he ought to be given her in
marriage; and if he intercedes (for someone) his intercessor
should be accepted; and if he speaks, he should be listened
to." Allah's Apostle kept silent, and then a man from among
the poor Muslims passed by, an Allah's Apostle asked (them)
"What do you say about this man?" They replied, "If he asks
for a lady's hand in marriage he does not deserve to be
married, and he intercedes (for someone), his intercession
should not be accepted; And if he speaks, he should not be
listened to.' Allah's Apostle said, "This poor man is better
than so many of the first as filling the earth.'
7.29:
Narrated 'Ursa:
that he asked `Aisha regarding the Verse: 'If you fear that
you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans ( 4.3)
She said, "O my nephew! This Verse refers to the orphan girl
who is under the guardianship of her guardian who likes her
beauty and wealth and wishes to (marry her and) curtails her
Mahr. Such guardians have been forbidden to marry them unless
they do justice by giving them their full Mahr, and they have
been ordered to marry other than them. The people asked for
the verdict of Allah's Apostle after that, so Allah revealed:
'They ask your instruction concerning the women . . . whom you
desire to marry.' ( 4.127) So Allah revealed to them that if
the orphan girl had beauty and wealth, they desired to marry
her and for her family status. They can only marry them if
they give them their full Mahr. And if they had no desire to
marry them because of their lack of wealth and beauty, they
would leave them and marry other women. So, as they used to
leave them, when they had no interest, in them, they were
forbidden to marry them when they had such interest, unless
they treated them justly and gave them their full Mahr Apostle
said, 'If at all there is evil omen, it is in the horse, the
woman and the house." a lady is to be warded off. And the
Statement of Allah: 'Truly, among your wives and your
children, there are enemies for you (i.e may stop you from the
obedience of Allah)' (6
4.14)
7.30:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "Evil omen
is in the women, the house and the horse.' 7.31:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Evil omen was mentioned before the
Prophet: The Prophet said, "If there is evil omen in anything,
it is in the house, the woman and the horse."
7.32:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: Allah's Apostle said, "If at all there
is bad omen, it is in the horse, the woman, and the house."
7.33:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: The Prophet said, "After me I have
not left any affliction more harmful to men than women."
7.34:
Narrated `Aisha :
Three principles were established because of Barira: (i) When
Banra was manumitted she was given the option (to remain with
her slave husband or not). (ii) Allah's Apostle said "The Wala
of the slave) is for the one who manumits (the slave). (iii)
When Allah's Apostle entered (the house), he saw a cooking pot
on the fire but he was given bread and meat soup from the soup
of the home. The Prophet said, "Didn't I see the cooking pot
(on the fire)?" It was said, "That is the meat given in
charity to Barira, and you do not eat the (things given in)
charity." The Prophet said, "It is an object of charity for
Barira, and it is a present for us."
7.35:
Narrated Aisha"
(regarding) the Verse: 'And if you fear that you shall not be
able to deal justly with the orphans...' ( 4.3) It is about
the orphan girl who is in the custody of a man who is her
guardian, and he intends to marry her because of her wealth,
but he treats her badly and does not manage her property
fairly and honestly. Such a man should marry women of his
liking other than her, two or three or four. 'Prohibited to
you (for marriage) are: ...your foster−mothers (who suckled
you).' ( 4.23) Marriage is prohibited between persons having a
foster suckling relationship corresponding to a blood
relationship which renders marriage unlawful.
7.36:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) that while Allah's Apostle was with
her, she heard a voice of a man asking permission to enter the
house of Hafsa. `Aisha added: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! This
man is asking permission to enter your house." The Prophet
said, "I think he is so−and−so," naming the foster−uncle of
Hafsa. `Aisha said, "If so−and−so," naming her foster uncle,
"were living, could he enter upon me?" The Prophet said, "Yes,
for foster suckling relations make all those things unlawful
which are unlawful through corresponding birth (blood)
relations."
7.37:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: It was said to the Prophet, "Won't you
marry the daughter of Hamza?" He said, "She is my foster niece
(brother's daughter). "
7.38:
Narrated Um Habiba: (daughter of Abu Sufyan) I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Marry my sister. the daughter of Abu Sufyan."
The Prophet said, "Do you like that?" I replied, "Yes, for
even now I am not your only wife and I like that my sister
should share the good with me." The Prophet said, "But that is
not lawful for me." I said, We have heard that you want to
marry the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "(You mean) the
daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if she
were not my step−daughter, she would be unlawful for me to
marry as she is my foster niece. I and Abu Salama were suckled
by Thuwaiba. So you should not present to me your daughters or
your sisters (in marriage)." Narrated 'Ursa; Thuwaiba was the
freed slave girl of Abu Lahb whom he had manumitted, and then
she suckled the Prophet. When Abu Lahb died, one of his
relatives saw him in a dream in a very bad state and asked
him, "What have you encountered?" Abu Lahb said, "I have not
found any rest since I left you, except that I have been given
water to drink in this (the space between his thumb and other
fingers) and that is because of my manumitting Thuwaiba."
7.39:
Narrated `Aisha:
that the Prophet entered upon her while a man was sitting with
her. Signs of answer seemed to appear on his face as if he
disliked that. She said, "Here is my (foster) brother." He
said, "Be sure as to who is your foster brother, for foster
suckling relationship is established only when milk is the
only food of the child."
7.40:
Narrated Aisha:
that Allah the brother of Abu Al−Qu'ais, her foster uncle,
came, asking permission to enter upon her after the Verse of
Al−Hijab (the use of veils by women) was revealed. `Aisha
added: I did not allow him to enter, but when Allah's Apostle
came, I told him what I had done, and he ordered me to give
him permission.
7.41:
Narrated `Uqba bin Al−Harith: I married a woman and then a
black lady came to us and said, "I have suckled you both (you
and your wife)." So I came to the Prophet and said, "I married
so−and−so and then a black lady came to us and said to me, 'I
have suckled both of you.' But I think she is a liar." The
Prophet turned his face away from me and I moved to face his
face, and said, "She is a liar." The Prophet said, "How (can
you keep her as your wife) when that lady has said that she
has suckled both of you? So abandon (i.e., divorce) her (your
wife).
7.42:
Narrated Um Habiba: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you like to
have (my sister) the daughter of Abu Sufyan?" The Prophet
said, "What shall I do (with her)?" I said, "Marry her." He
said, "Do you like that?" I said, "(Yes), for even now I am
not your only wife, so I like that my sister should share you
with me." He said, "She is not lawful for me (to marry)." I
said, "We have heard that you want to marry." He said, "The
daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if she
were not my stepdaughter, she should be unlawful for me to
marry, for Thuwaiba suckled me and her father (Abu Salama). So
you should neither present your daughters, nor your sisters,
to me."
7.43:
Narrated Um Habiba: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Marry my
sister, the daughter of Abu Sufyan." He said, "Do you like
that?" I said, "Yes, for even now I am not your only wife; and
the most beloved person to share the good with me is my
sister." The Prophet said, "But that is not lawful for me
(i.e., to be married to two sisters at a time.)" I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! By Allah, we have heard that you want to
marry Durra, the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "You mean
the daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "By Allah
! Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she would not be
lawful for me to marry, for she is my foster niece, for
Thuwaiba has suckled me and Abu Salama; so you should neither
present your daughters, nor your sisters to me."
7.44:
Narrated Jabir:
Allah's Apostle forbade that a woman should be married to man
along with her paternal or maternal aunt.
7.45:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "A woman and her
paternal aunt should not be married to the same man; and
similarly, a woman and her maternal aunt should not be married
to the same man."
7.46:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet forbade that a woman should
be married to a man along with her paternal aunt or with her
maternal aunt (at the same time). Az−Zuhri (the sub−narrator)
said: There is a similar order for the paternal aunt of the
father of one's wife, for 'Ursa told me that `Aisha said,
"What is unlawful because of blood relations, is also unlawful
because of the corresponding foster suckling relations."
7.47:
Narrated Ibn `Umar : Allah's Apostle forbade Ash−Shighar,
which means that somebody marries his daughter to somebody
else, and the latter marries his daughter to the former
without paying Mahr.
7.48:
Narrated Hisham's father: Khaula bint Hakim was one of those
ladies who presented themselves to the Prophet for marriage.
`Aisha said, "Doesn't a lady feel ashamed for presenting
herself to a man?" But when the Verse: "(O Muhammad) You may
postpone (the turn of) any of them (your wives) that you
please,' (3
3.51) was revealed, " `Aisha said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I do
not see, but, that your Lord hurries in pleasing you.' "
7.49:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet got married while he was in
the state of Ihram.
7.50:
Narrated `Ali:
I said to Ibn `Abbas, "During the battle of Khaibar the
Prophet forbade (Nikah) Al−Mut'a and the eating of donkey's
meat."
7.51:
Narrated Abu Jamra: I heard Ibn `Abbas (giving a verdict) when
he was asked about the Mut'a with the women, and he permitted
it (Nikah−al−Mut'a). On that a freed slave of his said to him,
"That is only when it is very badly needed and women are
scarce." On that, Ibn `Abbas said, "Yes."
7.52:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah and Salama bin Al−Akwa`: While we
were in an army, Allah's Apostle came to us and said, "You
have been allowed to do the Mut'a (marriage), so do it."
Salama bin Al−Akwa` said: Allah's Apostle's said, "If a man
and a woman agree (to marry temporarily), their marriage
should last for three nights, and if they like to continue,
they can do so; and if they want to separate, they can do so."
I do not know whether that was only for us or for all the
people in general. Abu `Abdullah (Al−Bukhari) said: `Ali made
it clear that the Prophet said, "The Mut'a marriage has been
cancelled (made unlawful).
7.53:
Narrated Thabit Al−Banani: I was with Anas while his daughter
was present with him. Anas said, "A woman came to Allah's
Apostle and presented herself to him, saying, 'O Allah's
Apostle, have you any need for me (i.e. would you like to
marry me)?' "Thereupon Anas's daughter said, "What a shameless
lady she was ! Shame! Shame!" Anas said, "She was better than
you; she had a liking for the Prophet so she presented herself
for marriage to him."
7.54:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: A woman presented herself to the
Prophet (for marriage). A man said to him, "O Allah's Apostle!
(If you are not in need of her) marry her to me." The Prophet
said, "What have you got?" The man said, "I have nothing." The
Prophet said (to him), "Go and search for something) even if
it were an iron ring." The man went and returned saying, "No,
I have not found anything, not even an iron ring; but this is
my (Izar) waist sheet, and half of it is for her." He had no
Rida' (upper garment). The Prophet said, "What will she do
with your waist sheet? If you wear it, she will have nothing
over her; and if she wears it, you will have nothing over
you." So the man sat down and when he had sat a long time, he
got up (to leave). When the Prophet saw him (leaving), he
called him back, or the man was called (for him), and he said
to the man, "How much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?"
The man replied I know such Sura and such Sura (by heart),"
naming the Suras The Prophet said, "I have married her to you
for what you know of the Qur'an ."
7.55:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar : `Umar bin Al−Khattab said,
"When Hafsa bint `Umar became a widow after the death of (her
husband) Khunais bin Hudhafa As−Sahmi who had been one of the
companions of the Prophet, and he died at Medina. I went to
`Uthman bin `Affan and presented Hafsa (for marriage) to him.
He said, "I will think it over.' I waited for a few days, then
he met me and said, 'It seems that it is not possible for me
to marry at present.' " `Umar further said, "I met Abu Bakr
As−Siddique and said to him, 'If you wish, I will marry my
daughter Hafsa to you." Abu Bakr kept quiet and did not say
anything to me in reply. I became more angry with him than
with `Uthman. I waited for a few days and then Allah's Apostle
asked for her hand, and I gave her in marriage to him.
Afterwards I met Abu Bakr who said, 'Perhaps you became angry
with me when you presented Hafsa to me and I did not give you
a reply?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing stopped me to
respond to your offer except that I knew that Allah's Apostle
had mentioned her, and I never wanted to let out the secret of
Allah's Apostle. And if Allah's Apostle had refused her, I
would have accepted her.' "
7.56:
Narrated Zainab bint Salama: Um Habiba said to Allah's Apostle
"We have heard that you want to marry Durra bint Abu−Salama."
Allah's Apostle said, "Can she be married along with Um Salama
(her mother)? Even if I have not married Um Salama, she would
not be lawful for me to marry, for her father is my foster
brother." 'And there is no blame on you if you make hint of
betrothal or conceal it in your hearts. Allah is
Oft−Forgiving, Most Forbearing.' (2.235) Ibn `Abbas said,
"Hint your intention of marrying' is made by saying (to the
widow) for example: "I want to marry, and I wish that Allah
will make a righteous lady available for me.' " Al−Qasim said:
One may say to the widow: 'I hold all respect for you, and I
am interested in you; Allah will bring you much good, or
something similar 'Ata said: One should hint his intention,
and should not declare it openly. One may say: 'I have some
need. Have good tidings. Praise be to Allah; you are fit to
remarry.' She (the widow) may say in reply: I am listening to
what you say,' but she should not make a promise. Her guardian
should not make a promise (to somebody to get her married to
him) without her knowledge. But if, while still in the Iddat
period, she makes a promise to marry somebody, and he
ultimately marries her, they are not to be separated by
divorce (i.e., the marriage is valid).
7.57:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said (to me), "You were shown to me in a
dream. An angel brought you to me, wrapped in a piece of
silken cloth, and said to me, 'This is your wife.' I removed
the piece of cloth from your face, and there you were. I said
to myself. 'If it is from Allah, then it will surely be.' "
7.58:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: A woman came to Allah's Apostle and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have come to you to present myself
to you (for marriage)." Allah's Apostle glanced at her. He
looked at her carefully and fixed his glance on her and then
lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say
anything, she sat down. A man from his companions got up and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! If you are not in need of her, then
marry her to me." The Prophet said, "Have you got anything to
offer." The man said, 'No, by Allah, O Allah's Apostle!" The
Prophet said (to him), "Go to your family and try to find
something." So the man went and returned, saying, "No, by
Allah, O Allah's Apostle! I have not found anything." The
Prophet said, "Go again and look for something, even if it
were an iron ring." He went and returned, saying, "No, by
Allah, O Allah's Apostle! I could not find even an iron ring,
but this is my Izar (waist sheet).' He had no Rida (upper
garment). He added, "I give half of it to her." Allah's
Apostle said "What will she do with your Izar? If you wear it,
she will have nothing over herself thereof (will be naked);
and if she wears it, then you will have nothing over yourself
thereof ' So the man sat for a long period and then got up (to
leave). When Allah's Apostle saw him leaving, he ordered that
he e called back. When he came, the Prophet asked (him), "How
much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?" The man replied, I
know such Sura and such Sura and such Sura," naming the suras.
The Prophet said, "Can you recite it by heart?" He said,
'Yes." The Prophet said, "Go I let you marry her for what you
know of the Qur'an (as her Mahr).
7.59:
Narrated `Aisha:
(as regards the Verse): 'And about what is recited unto you in
the Book, concerning orphan girls to whom you give not the
prescribed portions and yet, whom you desire to marry.' (
4.127) This Verse is about the female orphan who is under the
guardianship of a man with whom she shares her property and he
has more right over her (than anybody else) but does not like
to marry her, so he prevents her, from marrying somebody else,
lest he should share the property with him.
7.60:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: When Hafsa, `Umar's daughter
became a widow because of the death of her (husband) Ibn
Hudhafa As−Sahmi who was one of the companion of the Prophet
and the one of the Badr warriors and died at Medina, `Umar
said, "I met `Uthman bin `Affan and gave him an offer, saying,
'If you wish, I will marry Hafsa to you.' He said. 'I will
think it over' I waited for a few days, then he met me and
said, 'I have made up my mind not to marry at present' "`Umar
added, "Then I met Abu Bakr and said to him, 'If you wish, I
will marry Hafsa to you.' "
7.61:
Narrated Al−Hasan: concerning the Verse: 'Do not prevent them'
(2.232) Ma'qil bin Yasar told me that it was revealed in his
connection. He said, "I married my sister to a man and he
divorced her, and when her days of 'Idda (three menstrual
periods) were over, the man came again and asked for her hand,
but I said to him, 'I married her to you and made her your bed
(your wife) and favored you with her, but you divorced her.
Now you come to ask for her hand again? No, by Allah, she will
never go back to you (again)!' That man was not a bad man and
his wife wanted to go back to him. So Allah revealed this
Verse: 'Do not prevent them.' (2.232) So I said, 'Now I will
do it (let her go back to him), O Allah's Apostle."So he
married her to him again.
7.62:
Narrated `Aisha:
(regarding His Statement): 'They ask your instruction
concerning the women. Say: Allah instructs you about them ...'
( 4.127) It is about the female orphan who is under the
guardianship of a man with whom she shares her property and he
does not want to marry her and dislikes that someone else
should marry her, lest he should share the property with him,
so he prevents her from marrying. So Allah forbade such a
guardian to do so (i.e. to prevent her from marrying).
7.63:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: While we were sitting in the company
of the Prophet a woman came to him and presented herself (for
marriage) to him. The Prophet looked at her, lowering his eyes
and raising them, but did not give a reply. One of his
companions said, "Marry her to me O Allah's Apostle!" The
Prophet asked (him), "Have you got anything?" He said, "I have
got nothing." The Prophet said, "Not even an iron ring?" He
Sa`d, "Not even an iron ring, but I will tear my garment into
two halves and give her one half and keep the other half." The
Prophet; said, "No. Do you know some of the Qur'an (by
heart)?" He said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Go, I have agreed
to marry her to you with what you know of the Qur'an (as her
Mahr)." 'And for those who have no courses (i.e. they are
still immature). (65.4) And the 'Iddat for the girl before
puberty is three months (in the above Verse).
7.64:
Narrated `Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he
consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then
she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).
7.65:
Narrated `Aisha:
that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he
consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham
said: I have been informed that `Aisha remained with the
Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death).
7.66:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: A woman came to Allah's Apostle and
said, "I present myself (to you) (for marriage). She stayed
for a long while, then a man said, "If you are not in need of
her then marry her to me." The Prophet said, "Have you got
anything m order to pay her Mahr?" He said, "I have nothing
with me except my Izar (waist sheet)." The Prophet said, "If
you give her your Izar, you will have no Izar to wear, (so go)
and search for something. He said, "I could not find
anything." The Prophet said, "Try (to find something), even if
it were an iron ring But he was not able to find (even that)
The Prophet said (to him). "Do you memorize something of the
Qur'an?" "Yes. ' he said, "such Sura and such Sura," naming
those Suras The Prophet said, "We have married her to you for
what you know of the Qur'an (by heart).
7.67:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A matron should not
be given in marriage except after consulting her; and a virgin
should not be given in marriage except after her permission."
The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! How can we know her
permission?" He said, "Her silence (indicates her permission).
7.68:
Narrated `Aisha:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! A virgin feels shy." He said, "Her
consent is (expressed by) her silence."
7.69:
Narrated Khansa bint Khidam Al−Ansariya: that her father gave
her in marriage when she was a matron and she disliked that
marriage. So she went to Allah's Apostle and he declared that
marriage invalid.
7.70:
Narrated `Abdur−Rahman bin Yazid and Majammi bin Yazid: The
same ,Hadith above: A man called Khidam married a daughter of
his (to somebody) against her consent. 'If you fear that you
shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls then
marry (other) women of your choice.' ( 4.3) And if somebody
says to the guardian (of a woman), "Marry me to so−and−so,"
and the guardian remained silent or said to him, "What have
you got?" And the other said, "I have so much and so much
(Mahr)," or kept quiet, and then the guardian said, "I have
married her to you," then the marriage is valid (legal). This
narration was told by Sahl on the authority of the Prophet.
7.71:
Narrated 'Ursa bin Az−Zubair: that he asked `Aisha, saying to
her, "O Mother! (In what connection was this Verse revealed):
'If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with
orphan girls (to the end of the verse) that your right hands
possess?" ( 4.3) Aisha said, "O my nephew! It was about the
female orphan under the protection of her guardian who was
interested in her beauty and wealth and wanted to marry her
with a little or reduced Mahr. So such guardians were
forbidden to marry female orphans unless they deal with them
justly and give their full Mahr; and they were ordered to
marry women other than them."`Aisha added, "(Later) the people
asked Allah's Apostle, for instructions, and then Allah
revealed: 'They ask your instruction concerning the women . .
. And yet whom you desire to marry.' ( 4.127) So Allah
revealed to them in this Verse that−if a female orphan had
wealth and beauty, they desired to marry her and were
interested in her noble descent and the reduction of her Mahr;
but if she was not desired by them because of her lack in
fortune and beauty they left her and married some other woman.
So, as they used to leave her when they had no interest in
her, they had no right to marry her if they had the desire to
do so, unless they deal justly with her and gave her a full
amount of Mahr."
7.72:
Narrated Sahl:
A woman came to the Prophet,, and presented herself to him
(for marriage). He said, "I am not in need of women these
days." Then a man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Marry her to me."

got nothing." The Prophet said, "Give her something, even an
iron ring." He said, "I have got nothing." The Prophet asked
(him), "How much of the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?" He
said, "So much and so much." The Prophet said, "I have married
her to you for what you know of the Qur'an."
7.73:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet decreed that one should not
try to cancel a bargain already agreed upon between some other
persons (by offering a bigger price). And a man should not ask
for the hand of a girl who is already engaged to his Muslim
brother, unless the first suitor gives her up, or allows him
to ask for her hand.
7.74:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Beware of suspicion
(about others), as suspicion is the falsest talk, and do not
spy upon each other, and do not listen to the evil talk of the
people about others' affairs, and do not have enmity with one
another, but be brothers. And none should ask for the hand of
a girl who is already engaged to his (Muslim) brother, but one
should wait till the first suitor marries her or leaves her."
7.75:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: "When Hafsa became a widow,"
`Umar said, "I met Abu Bakr and said to him, 'If you wish I
will marry Hafsa bint `Umar to you.' I waited for a few days

and said, 'Nothing stopped me from returning to you concerning
your offer except that I knew that Allah's Apostle had
mentioned (his wish to marry) her, and I could never let out
the secret of Allah's Apostle . If he had left her, I would
have accepted her.' "
7.76:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Two men came from the east and delivered
speeches, and the Prophet said, "Some eloquent speech has the
in fluency of magic (e.g., some people refuse to do something
and then a good eloquent speaker addresses them and then they
agree to do that very thing after his speech). "
7.77:
Narrated Ar−Rabi`: (the daughter of Muawwidh bin Afra) After
the consummation of my marriage, the Prophet came and sat on
my bed as far from me as you are sitting now, and our little
girls started beating the tambourines and reciting elegiac
verses mourning my father who had been killed in the battle of
Badr. One of them said, "Among us is a Prophet who knows what
will happen tomorrow." On that the Prophet said, "Leave this
(saying) and keep on saying the verses which you had been
saying before." 7.78:
Narrated Anas:
`Abdur Rahman bin `Auf married a woman and gave her gold equal
to the weight of a date stone (as Mahr). When the Prophet

and gave (her) gold equal to a date stone in weight (as Mahr).
7.79:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`idi: While I was (sitting) among
the people in the company of Allah's Apostle a woman stood up
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! She has given herself in
marriage to you; please give your opinion of her." The Prophet
did not give her any reply. She again stood up and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! She has given herself (in marriage) to you;
so please give your opinion of her. The Prophet did not give
her any reply. She again stood up for the third time and said,
"She has given herself in marriage to you: so give your
opinion of her." So a man stood up and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Marry her to me." The Prophet asked him, "Have you
got anything?" He said, "No." The Prophet said, "Go and search
for something, even if it were an iron ring." The man went and
searched and then returned saying, "I could not find anything,
not even an iron ring." Then the Prophet said, "Do you know
something of the Qur'an (by heart)?" He replied, "I know (by
heart) such Sura and such Sura." The Prophet said, "Go! I have
married her to you for what you know of the Qur'an (by heart).
7.80:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: The Prophet said to a man, "Marry,
even with (a Mahr equal to) an iron ring."

Narrated `Uqba:
The Prophet said: "The stipulations most entitled to be abided
by are those with which you are given the right to enjoy the
(women's) private parts (i.e. the stipulations of the marriage
contract).
7.82:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "It is not lawful for
a woman (at the time of wedding) to ask for the divorce of her
sister (i.e. the other wife of her would−be husband) in order
to have everything for herself, for she will take only what
has been written for her."

The Prophet asked, "How much Mahr did you pay her?" He said,
"I paid gold equal to the weight of a date stone." Allah's
Apostle said to him, "Give a wedding banquet, even if with one
sheep."
7.84:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet offered a wedding banquet on the occasion of his
marriage to Zainab, and provided a good meal for the Muslims.
Then he went out as was his custom on marrying, he came to the
dwelling places of the mothers of the Believers (i.e. his
wives) invoking good (on them), and they were invoking good
(on him). Then he departed (and came back) and saw two men
(still sitting there). So he left again. I do not remember
whether I informed him or he was informed (by somebody else)
of their departure).
7.85:

`Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf and said, "What is this?"

prophets went for a military expedition and said to his
people: "A man who has married a lady and wants to consummate
his marriage with her and he has not done so yet, should not
accompany me.' "
7.88:
Narrated 'Ursa:
The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with `Aisha while
she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her
while she was nine years old and she remained with him for
nine years (i.e. till his death).
7.89:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet stayed for three days at a place between Khaibar
and Medina, and there he consummated his marriage with Safiyya
bint Huyay. I invited the Muslims to a banquet which included
neither meat nor bread. The Prophet ordered for the leather
dining sheets to be spread, and then dates, dried yogurt and
butter were provided over it, and that was the Walima
(banquet) of the Prophet. The Muslims asked whether Safiyya
would be considered as his wife or as a slave girl of what his
right hands possessed. Then they said, "If the Prophet screens
her from the people, then she Is the Prophet's wife but if he
does not screen her, then she is a slave girl." So when the
Prophet proceeded, he made a place for her (on the camel)
behind him and screened her from people.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: "Whenever the Prophet passed by (my
mother Um−Sulaim) he used to enter her and greet her. Anas
further said: Once the Prophet way a bridegroom during his
marriage with Zainab, Um Sulaim said to me, "Let us give a
gift to Allah's Apostle ." I said to her, "Do it." So she
prepared Haisa (a sweet dish) made from dates, butter and
dried yoghurt and she sent it with me to him. I took it to him
and he said, "Put it down," and ordered me to call some men
whom he named, and to invite whomever I would meet. I did what
he ordered me to do, and when I returned, I found the house
crowded with people and saw the Prophet keeping his hand over
the Haisa and saying over it whatever Allah wished (him to
say). Then he called the men in batches of ten to eat of it,
and he said to them, "Mention the Name of Allah, and each man
should eat of the dish the nearest to him." When all of them
had finished their meals, some of them left and a few remained
there talking, over which I felt unhappy. Then the Prophet
went out towards the dwelling places (of his wives) and I too,
went out after him and told him that those people had left.
Then he returned and entered his dwelling place and let the
curtains fall while I was in (his) dwelling place, and he was
reciting the Verses:−− 'O you who believe! Enter not the
Prophet's house until leave is given you for a meal, (and
then) not (as early as) to what for its preparation. But when
you are invited, enter, and when you have taken your meals,
disperse without sitting for a talk. Verily such (behavior)
annoys the Prophet; and he would be shy of (asking) you (to
go), but Allah is not shy of (telling you) the Truth.' (33−53)
Abu `Uthman said: Anas said, "I served the Prophet for ten
years."
7.93:
Narrated `Aisha:
That she borrowed a necklace from Asma' and then it got lost.
So Allah's Apostle sent some people from his companions in
search of it. In the meantime the stated time for the prayer
became due and they offered their prayer without ablution.
When they came to the Prophet, they complained about it to
him, so the Verse regarding Tayammum was revealed . Usaid bin
Hudair said, "(O `Aisha!) may Allah bless you with a good
reward, for by Allah, never did a difficulty happen in
connection with you, but Allah made an escape from it for you,
and brought Allah's Blessings for the Muslims."
7.94:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "If anyone of you, when
having sexual intercourse with his wife, says: Bismillah,
Allahumma jannibni−Sh−Shaitan wa jannib−ish−Shaitan ma
razaqtana, and if it is destined that they should have a
child, then Satan will never be able to harm him."
7.95:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: I was ten years old when Allah's
Apostle arrived at Medina. My mother and aunts used to urge me
to serve the Prophet regularly, and I served him for ten
years. When the Prophet died I was twenty years old, and I
knew about the order of Al−Hijab (veiling of ladies) more than
any other person when it was revealed. It was revealed for the
first time when Allah's Apostle had consummated his marriage
with Zainab bint Jahsh. When the day dawned, the Prophet was a
bridegroom and he invited the people to a banquet, so they
came, ate, and then all left except a few who remained with
the Prophet for a long time. The Prophet got up and went out,
and I too went out with him so that those people might leave
too. The Prophet proceeded and so did I, till he came to the
threshold of `Aisha's dwelling place. Then thinking that these
people have left by then, he returned and so did I along with
him till he entered upon Zainab and behold, they were still
sitting and had not gone. So the Prophet again went away and I
went away along with him. When we reached the threshold of
`Aisha's dwelling place, he thought that they had left, and so
he returned and I too, returned along with him and found those
people had left. Then the Prophet drew a curtain between me
and him, and the Verses of Al−Hijab were revealed.
7.96:
Narrated Anas:
When `Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf married an Ansari woman, the
Prophet asked him, "How much Mahr did you give her?"
`Abdur−Rahman said, "Gold equal to the weight of a date
stone." Anas added: When they (i.e. the Prophet and his
companions) arrived at Medina, the emigrants stayed at the
Ansar's houses. `Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf stayed at Sa`d bin
Ar−Rabi's house. Sa`d said to `Abdur−Rahman, "I will divide
and share my property with you and will give one of my two
wives to you." `Abdur−Rahman said, "May Allah bless you, your
wives and property (I am not in need of that; but kindly show
me the way to the market)." So `Abdur−Rahman went to the
market and traded there gaining a profit of some dried yoghurt
and butter, and married (an Ansari woman). The Prophet said to
him, "Give a banquet, even if with one sheep."

bestow His Mercy upon you), if he says 'Al−hamduli l−lah'
(Praise be to Allah), to help others to fulfill their oaths,
to help the oppressed, to greet (whomever one should meet),

Narrated Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) I bought a cushion having on it
pictures (of animals). When Allah's Apostle saw it, he stood
at the door and did not enter. I noticed the sign of
disapproval on his face and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I repent
to Allah and His Apostle. What sin have I committed?' Allah's
Apostle said. "What is this cushion?" I said, "I have bought
it for you so that you may sit on it and recline on it."
Allah's Apostle said, "The makers of these pictures will be
punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to
them, 'Give life to what you have created (i.e., these
pictures).' " The Prophet added, "The Angels of (Mercy) do not
enter a house in which there are pictures (of animals).
7.111:
Narrated Sahl:
When Abu Usaid As−Sa`idi got married, he invited the Prophet
and his companions. None prepared the food for them and
brought it to them but his wife. She soaked some dates in
water in a stone pot overnight, and when the Prophet had
finished his food, she provided him with that drink (of soaked
dates).
7.112:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: Abu Usaid As−Sa`idi invited the
Prophet to his wedding party and his wife served him on that
day, and she was the bride. She said (or Sahl said), "Do you
know what she soaked for Allah's Apostle? She soaked some
dates for him (in water) in a drinking bowl overnight." 7.113:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The woman is like
a rib; if you try to straighten her, she will break. So if you
want to get benefit from her, do so while she still has some
crookedness."
7.114:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Whoever believes in
Allah and the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbor.
And I advise you to take care of the women, for they are
created from a rib and the most crooked portion of the rib is
its upper part; if you try to straighten it, it will break,
and if you leave it, it will remain crooked, so I urge you to
take care of the women."
7.115:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: During the lifetime of the Prophet we used
to avoid chatting leisurely and freely with our wives lest
some Divine inspiration might be revealed concerning us. But
when the Prophet had died, we started chatting leisurely and
freely (with them).
7.116:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: The Prophet said, "Everyone of
you is a guardian and everyone of you is responsible (for his
wards). A ruler is a guardian and is responsible(for his
subjects); a man is a guardian of his family and responsible
(for them); a wife is a guardian of her husband's house and
she is responsible (for it), a slave is a guardian of his
master's property and is responsible (for that). Beware! All
of you are guardians and are responsible (for your wards).
7.117:
Narrated `Aisha:
Eleven women sat (at a place) and promised and contracted that
they would not conceal anything of the news of their husbands.
The first one said, "My husband is like the meat of a slim
weak camel which is kept on the top of a mountain which is
neither easy to climb, nor is the meat fat, so that one might
put up with the trouble of fetching it." The second one said,
"I shall not relate my husband's news, for I fear that I may
not be able to finish his story, for if I describe him, I will
mention all his defects and bad traits." The third one said,
"My husband, the "too−tall"! if I describe him (and he hears
of that) he will divorce me, and if I keep quiet, he will keep
me hanging (neither divorcing me nor treating me as a wife)."
The fourth one said, "My husband is (moderate in temper) like
the night of Tihama: neither hot nor cold; I am neither afraid
of him, nor am I discontented with him." The fifth one said,
"My husband, when entering (the house) is a leopard (sleeps a
lot), and when going out, is a lion (boasts a lot). He does
not ask about whatever is in the house." The sixth one said,
"If my husband eats, he eats too much (leaving the dishes
empty), and if he drinks he leaves nothing; if he sleeps he
sleeps he rolls himself (alone in our blankets); and he does
not insert his palm to inquire about my feelings." The seventh
one said, "My husband is a wrong−doer or weak and foolish. All
the defects are present in him. He may injure your head or
your body or may do both." The eighth one said, "My husband is
soft to touch like a rabbit and smells like a Zarnab (a kind
of good smelling grass)." The ninth one said, "My husband is a
tall generous man wearing a long strap for carrying his sword.
His ashes are abundant (i.e. generous to his guests) and his
house is near to the people (who would easily consult him)."
The tenth one said, "My husband is Malik (possessor), and what
is Malik? Malik is greater than whatever I say about him. (He
is beyond and above all praises which can come to my mind).
Most of his camels are kept at home (ready to be slaughtered
for the guests) and only a few are taken to the pastures. When
the camels hear the sound of the lute (or the tambourine) they
realize that they are going to be slaughtered for the guests."
The eleventh one said, "My husband is Abu Zar` and what is Abu
Zar` (i.e., what should I say about him)? He has given me many
ornaments and my ears are heavily loaded with them and my arms
have become fat (i.e., I have become fat). And he has pleased
me, and I have become so happy that I feel proud of myself. He
found me with my family who were mere owners of sheep and
living in poverty, and brought me to a respected family having
horses and camels and threshing and purifying grain. Whatever
I say, he does not rebuke or insult me. When I sleep, I sleep
till late in the morning, and when I drink water (or milk), I
drink my fill. The mother of Abu Zar and what may one say in
praise of the mother of Abu Zar? Her saddle bags were always
full of provision and her house was spacious. As for the son
of Abu Zar, what may one say of the son of Abu Zar? His bed is
as narrow as an unsheathed sword and an arm of a kid (of four
months) satisfies his hunger. As for the daughter of Abu Zar,
she is obedient to her father and to her mother. She has a fat
well−built body and that arouses the jealousy of her husband's
other wife. As for the (maid) slave girl of Abu Zar, what may
one say of the (maid) slavegirl of Abu Zar? She does not
uncover our secrets but keeps them, and does not waste our
provisions and does not leave the rubbish scattered everywhere
in our house." The eleventh lady added, "One day it so
happened that Abu Zar went out at the time when the milk was
being milked from the animals, and he saw a woman who had two
sons like two leopards playing with her two breasts. (On
seeing her) he divorced me and married her. Thereafter I
married a noble man who used to ride a fast tireless horse and
keep a spear in his hand. He gave me many things, and also a
pair of every kind of livestock and said, Eat (of this), O Um
Zar, and give provision to your relatives." She added, "Yet,
all those things which my second husband gave me could not
fill the smallest utensil of Abu Zar's." `Aisha then said:
Allah's Apostle said to me, "I am to you as Abu Zar was to his
wife Um Zar."
7.118:
Narrated 'Ursa:
Aisha said, "While the Ethiopians were playing with their
small spears, Allah's Apostle screened me behind him and I
watched (that display) and kept on watching till I left on my
own." So you may estimate of what age a little girl may listen
to amusement.
7.119:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas : I had been eager to ask `Umar bin
Al−Khattab about the two ladies from among the wives of the
Prophet regarding whom Allah said 'If you two (wives of the
Prophet namely Aisha and Hafsa) turn in repentance to Allah,
your hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet
likes). (66.4) till `Umar performed the Hajj and I too,
performed the Hajj along with him. (On the way) `Umar went
aside to answer the call of nature, and I also went aside
along with him carrying a tumbler full of water, and when
`Umar had finished answering the call of nature, I poured
water over his hands and he performed the ablution. Then I
said to him, "O chief of the Believers! Who were the two
ladies from among the wives of the Prophet regarding whom
Allah said: 'If you two (wives of the Prophet) turn in
repentance to Allah your hearts are indeed so inclined (to
oppose what the Prophet likes)?" (66.4) He said, "I am
astonished at your question, O Ibn `Abbas. They were `Aisha
and Hafsa." Then `Umar went on narrating the Hadith and said,
"I and an Ansari neighbor of mine from Bani Umaiyya bin Zaid
who used to live in `Awali−al−Medina, used to visit the
Prophet in turn. He used to go one day and I another day. When
I went, I would bring him the news of what had happened that
day regarding the Divine Inspiration and other things, and
when he went, he used to do the same for me. We, the people of
Quraish used to have the upper hand over our wives, but when
we came to the Ansar, we found that their women had the upper
hand over their men, so our women also started learning the
ways of the Ansari women. I shouted at my wife and she
retorted against me and I disliked that she should answer me
back. She said to me, 'Why are you so surprised at my
answering you back? By Allah, the wives of the Prophet answer
him back and some of them may leave (does not speak to) him
throughout the day till the night.' The (talk) scared me and I
said to her, 'Whoever has done so will be ruined!' Then I
proceeded after dressing myself, and entered upon Hafsa and
said to her, 'Does anyone of you keep the Prophet angry till
night?' She said, 'Yes.' I said, 'You are a ruined losing
person! Don't you fear that Allah may get angry for the anger
of Allah's Apostle and thus you will be ruined? So do not ask
more from the Prophet and do not answer him back and do not
give up talking to him. Ask me whatever you need and do not be
tempted to imitate your neighbor (i.e., `Aisha) in her manners
for she is more charming than you and more beloved to the
Prophet ." `Umar added,"At that time a talk was circulating
among us that (the tribe of) Ghassan were preparing their
horses to invade us. My Ansari companion, on the day of his
turn, went (to the town) and returned to us at night and
knocked at my door violently and asked if I was there. I
became horrified and came out to him. He said, 'Today a great
thing has happened.' I asked, 'What is it? Have (the people
of) Ghassan come?' He said, 'No, but (What has happened) is
greater and more horrifying than that: Allah's Apostle; has
divorced his wives. `Umar added, "The Prophet kept away from
his wives and I said "Hafsa is a ruined loser.' I had already
thought that most probably this (divorce) would happen in the
near future. So I dressed myself and offered the morning
prayer with the Prophet and then the Prophet; entered an upper
room and stayed there in seclusion. I entered upon Hafsa and
saw her weeping. I asked, 'What makes you weep? Did I not warn
you about that? Did the Prophet divorce you all?' She said, 'I
do not know. There he is retired alone in the upper room.' I
came out and sat near the pulpit and saw a group of people
sitting around it and some of them were weeping. I sat with
them for a while but could not endure the situation, so I went
to the upper room where the Prophet; was and said to a black
slave of his, 'Will you get the permission (of the Prophet )
for `Umar (to enter)?' The slave went in, talked to the
Prophet about it and then returned saying, 'I have spoken to
the Prophet and mentioned you but he kept quiet.' Then I
returned and sat with the group of people sitting near the
pulpit. but I could not bear the situation and once again I
said to the slave, 'Will you get the permission for `Umar?' He
went in and returned saying, 'I mentioned you to him but he
kept quiet.' So I returned again and sat with the group of
people sitting near the pulpit, but I could not bear the
situation, and so I went to the slave and said, 'Will you get
the permission for `Umar?' He went in and returned to me
saying, 'I mentioned you to him but he kept quiet.' When I was
leaving, behold! The slave called me, saying, 'The Prophet has
given you permission.' Then I entered upon Allah's Apostle and
saw him Lying on a bed made of stalks of date palm leaves and
there was no bedding between it and him. The stalks left marks
on his side and he was leaning on a leather pillow stuffed
with date−palm fires. I greeted him and while still standing I
said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have you divorced your wives?' He
looked at me and said, 'No.' I said, 'Allah Akbar!' And then,
while still standing, I said chatting, 'Will you heed what I
say, O Allah's Apostle? We, the people of Quraish used to have
power over our women, but when we arrived at Medina we found
that the men (here) were overpowered by their women.' The
Prophet smiled and then I said to him, 'Will you heed what I
say, O Allah's Apostle? I entered upon Hafsa and said to her,
"Do not be tempted to imitate your companion (`Aisha), for she
is more charming than you and more beloved to the Prophet.' "
The Prophet smiled for a second time. When I saw him smiling,
I sat down. Then I looked around his house, and by Allah, I
could not see anything of importance in his house except three
hides, so I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah to make
your followers rich, for the Persians and the Romans have been
made prosperous and they have been given (the pleasures of the
world), although they do not worship Allah.' Thereupon the
Prophet sat up as he was reclining. and said, 'Are you of such
an opinion, O the son of Al−Khattab? These are the people who
have received the rewards for their good deeds in this world.'
I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Ask Allah to forgive me.' Then the
Prophet kept away from his wives for twenty−nine days because
of the story which Hafsa had disclosed to `Aisha. The Prophet
had said, 'I will not enter upon them (my wives) for one
month,' because of his anger towards them, when Allah had
admonished him. So, when twenty nine days had passed, the
Prophet first entered upon `Aisha. `Aisha said to him, 'O
Allah's Apostle! You had sworn that you would not enter upon
us for one month, but now only twenty−nine days have passed,
for I have been counting them one by one.' The Prophet said,
'The (present) month is of twenty nine days.' `Aisha added,
'Then Allah revealed the Verses of the option. (2) And out of
all his−wives he asked me first, and I chose him.' Then he
gave option to his other wives and they said what `Aisha had
said . " (1) The Prophet, ' had decided to abstain from eating
a certain kind of food because of a certain event, so Allah
blamed him for doing so. Some of his wives were the cause of
him taking that decision, therefore he deserted them for one
month. See Qur'an: (66.4)
7.120:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A woman should not
fast (optional fasts) except with her husband's permission if
he is at home (staying with her).

night deserting her husband's bed (does not sleep with him),
then the angels send their curses on her till she comes back
(to her husband).
7.123:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "It is not lawful
for a lady to fast (Nawafil) without the permission of her
husband when he is at home; and she should not allow anyone to
enter his house except with his permission; and if she spends
of his wealth (on charitable purposes) without being ordered
by him, he will get half of the reward."
7.124:
Narrated Usama:
The Prophet said, "I stood at the gate of Paradise and saw
that the majority of the people who entered it were the poor,
while the wealthy were stopped at the gate (for the accounts).
But the companions of the Fire were ordered to be taken to the
Fire. Then I stood at the gate of the Fire and saw that the
majority of those who entered it were women."
7.125:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: During the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle, the sun eclipsed. Allah's Apostle offered the prayer
of (the) eclipse) and so did the people along with him. He
performed a long Qiyam (standing posture) during which
Surat−al−Baqara could have been recited; then he performed a
pro−longed bowing, then raised his head and stood for a long
time which was slightly less than that of the first Qiyam (and
recited Qur'an). Then he performed a prolonged bowing again
but the period was shorter than the period of the first
bowing, then he stood up and then prostrated. Again he stood
up, but this time the period of standing was less than the
first standing. Then he performed a prolonged bowing but of a
lesser duration than the first, then he stood up again for a
long time but for a lesser duration than the first. Then he
performed a prolonged bowing but of lesser duration than the
first, and then he again stood up, and then prostrated and
then finished his prayer. By then the sun eclipse had cleared.
The Prophet then said, "The sun and the moon are two signs
among the signs of Allah, and they do not eclipse because of
the death or birth of someone, so when you observe the
eclipse, remember Allah (offer the eclipse prayer)." They (the
people) said, "O Allah's Apostle! We saw you stretching your
hand to take something at this place of yours, then we saw you
stepping backward." He said, "I saw Paradise (or Paradise was
shown to me), and I stretched my hand to pluck a bunch (of
grapes), and had I plucked it, you would have eaten of it as
long as this world exists. Then I saw the (Hell) Fire, and I
have never before, seen such a horrible sight as that, and I
saw that the majority of its dwellers were women." The people
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the reason for that?" He
replied, "Because of their ungratefulness." It was said. "Do
they disbelieve in Allah (are they ungrateful to Allah)?" He
replied, "They are not thankful to their husbands and are
ungrateful for the favors done to them. Even if you do good to
one of them all your life, when she seems some harshness from
you, she will say, "I have never seen any good from you.' "
7.126:
Narrated `Imran:
The Prophet said, "I looked at Paradise and saw that the
majority of its residents were the poor; and I looked at the
(Hell) Fire and saw that the majority of its residents were
women."
7.127:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al−`As: Allah's Apostle said,
"O `Abdullah! Have I not been formed that you fast all the day
and stand in prayer all night?" I said, "Yes, O Allah's
Apostle!" He said, "Do not do that! Observe the fast sometimes
and also leave them (the fast) at other times; stand up for
the prayer at night and also sleep at night. Your body has a
right over you, your eyes have a right over you and your wife
has a right over you." 7.128:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet said, "All of you are
guardians and are responsible for your wards. The ruler is a
guardian and the man is a guardian of his family; the lady is
a guardian and is responsible for her husband's house and his
offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible
for your wards."
7.129:
Narrated Anas:
Allah's Apostle took an oath that he would not visit his wives
for one month, and he sat in an upper room belonging to him.
Then, on the twenty ninth day he came down. It was said, "O
Allah's Apostle! You had taken an oath not to visit your wives
for one month." He said, "The (present) month is of
twenty−nine days."
7.130:
Narrated Um Salama: The Prophet took an oath that he would not
enter upon some of his wives for one month. But when twenty
nine days had elapsed, he went to them in the morning or
evening. It was said to him, "O Allah's Prophet! You had taken
an oath that you would not enter upon them for one month." He
replied, "The month can be of twenty nine days."
7.131:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: One morning we saw the wives of the
Prophet weeping, and everyone of them had her family with her,
I went to the mosque and found that it was crowded with
people. Then `Umar bin Al−Khattab came and went up to the
Prophet who was in his upper room. He greeted him but nobody
answered. He greeted again, but nobody answered. Then the
gatekeeper called him and he entered upon the Prophet, and
asked, "Have you divorced your wives?" The Prophet, said, "No,
but I have taken an oath not to go to them for one month." So
the Prophet stayed away (from his wives) for twenty nine days
and then entered upon them.
7.132:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Zam`a: The Prophet said, "None of you
should flog his wife as he flogs a slave and then have sexual
intercourse with her in the last part of the day."
7.133:
Narrated `Aisha:
An Ansari woman gave her daughter in marriage and the hair of
the latter started falling out. The Ansari women came to the
Prophet and mentioned that to him and said, "Her (my
daughter's) husband suggested that I should let her wear false
hair." The Prophet said, "No, (don't do that) for Allah sends
His curses upon such ladies who lengthen their hair
artificially." 7.134:
Narrated Aisha:
regarding the Verse: 'If a wife fears cruelty or desertion on
her husband's part ...') ( 4.128) It concerns the woman whose
husband does not want to keep her with him any longer, but
wants to divorce her and marry some other lady, so she says to
him: 'Keep me and do not divorce me, and then marry another
woman, and you may neither spend on me, nor sleep with me.'
This is indicated by the Statement of Allah: 'There is no
blame on them if they arrange an amicable settlement between
them both, and (such) settlement is better." ( 4.128)
7.135:
Narrated Jabir:
We used to practice coitus interrupt us during the lifetime of
Allah's Apostle .

interrupt us during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle while the
Qur'an was being Revealed.
7.137:
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al−Khudri: We got female captives in the
war booty and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So
we asked Allah's Apostle about it and he said, "Do you really
do that?" repeating the question thrice, "There is no soul
that is destined to exist but will come into existence, till
the Day of Resurrection."
7.138:
Narrated al−Qasim: Aisha said that whenever the Prophet
intended to go on a journey, he drew lots among his wives (so
as to take one of them along with him). During one of his
journeys the lot fell on `Aisha and Hafsa. When night fell the
Prophet would ride beside `Aisha and talk with her. One night
Hafsa said to `Aisha, "Won't you ride my camel tonight and I
ride yours, so that you may see (me) and I see (you) (in new
situation)?" `Aisha said, "Yes, (I agree.)" So `Aisha rode,
and then the Prophet came towards `Aisha's camel on which
Hafsa was riding. He greeted Hafsa and then proceeded (beside
her) till they dismounted (on the way). `Aisha missed him, and
so, when they dismounted, she put her legs in the Idhkhir and
said, "O Lord (Allah)! Send a scorpion or a snake to bite me
for I am not to blame him (the Prophet ). 7.139:
Narrated `Aisha:

Sauda.

The tradition, (of the Prophet) is that if someone marries a
virgin and he has already a matron wife (with him), then he
should stay with the virgin for seven days; and if someone
marries a matron (and he has already a virgin wife with him)
then he should stay with her for three days.
7.141:
Narrated Anas:
It is the Prophet's tradition that if someone marries a virgin
and he has already a matron wife then he should stay for seven
days with her (the virgin) and then by turns; and if someone
marries a matron and he has already a virgin wife then he
should stay with her (the matron) for three days, and then by
turns.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet used to pass by (have
sexual relation with) all his wives in one night, and at that
time he had nine wives.
7.143:
Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle finished his `Asr prayer, he would
enter upon his wives and stay with one of them. One day he
went to Hafsa and stayed with her longer than usual.
7.144:
Narrated `Aisha:
that during his fatal ailment, Allah's Apostle, used to ask
his wives, "Where shall I stay tomorrow? Where shall I stay
tomorrow?" He was looking forward to Aisha's turn. So all his
wives allowed him to stay where he wished, and he stayed at
`Aisha's house till he died there. `Aisha added: He died on
the day of my usual turn at my house. Allah took him unto Him
while his head was between my chest and my neck and his saliva
was mixed with my saliva.
7.145:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: that `Umar entered upon Hafsa and said,
"O my daughter! Do not be misled by the manners of her who is
proud of her beauty because of the love of Allah's Apostle for
her." By 'her' he meant `Aisha. `Umar added, "Then I told that
to Allah's Apostle and he smiled (on hearing that).
7.146:
Narrated Asma:
Some lady said, "O Allah's Apostle! My husband has another
wife, so it is sinful of me to claim that he has given me what
he has not given me (in order to tease her)?" Allah's Apostle
said, The one who pretends that he has been given what he has
not been given, is just like the (false) one who wears two
garments of falsehood."
7.147:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Masud: The Prophet, said, "There is
none having a greater sense of Ghira than Allah. And for that
He has forbidden the doing of evil actions (illegal sexual
intercourse etc.) There is none who likes to be praised more
than Allah does."
7.148:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "O followers of Muhammad! There is none,
who has a greater sense of Ghira (self−respect) than Allah, so
He has forbidden that His slave commits illegal sexual
intercourse or His slave girl commits illegal sexual
intercourse. O followers of Muhammad! If you but knew what I
know, you would laugh less and weep more!"
7.149:
Narrated Asma':
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "There is nothing (none)
having a greater sense of Ghira (self−respect) than Allah."
And narrated Abu Huraira that he heard the Prophet (saying the
same). 7.150:

Ghira, and Allah's sense of Ghira is provoked when a believer
does something which Allah has prohibited."
7.151:
Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr: When Az−Zubair married me, he
had no real property or any slave or anything else except a
camel which drew water from the well, and his horse. I used to
feed his horse with fodder and drew water and sew the bucket
for drawing it, and prepare the dough, but I did not know how
to bake bread. So our Ansari neighbors used to bake bread for
me, and they were honorable ladies. I used to carry the date
stones on my head from Zubair's land given to him by Allah's
Apostle and this land was two third Farsakh (about two miles)
from my house. One day, while I was coming with the date
stones on my head, I met Allah's Apostle along with some
Ansari people. He called me and then, (directing his camel to
kneel down) said, "Ikh! Ikh!" so as to make me ride behind him
(on his camel). I felt shy to travel with the men and
remembered Az−Zubair and his sense of Ghira, as he was one of
those people who had the greatest sense of Ghira. Allah's
Apostle noticed that I felt shy, so he proceeded. I came to
Az−Zubair and said, "I met Allah's Apostle while I was
carrying a load of date stones on my head, and he had some
companions with him. He made his camel kneel down so that I
might ride, but I felt shy in his presence and remembered your
sense of Ghira (See the glossary). On that Az−Zubair said, "By
Allah, your carrying the date stones (and you being seen by
the Prophet in such a state) is more shameful to me than your
riding with him." (I continued serving in this way) till Abu
Bakr sent me a servant to look after the horse, whereupon I
felt as if he had set me free.
7.152:
Narrated Anas:
While the Prophet was in the house of one of his wives, one of
the mothers of the believers sent a meal in a dish. The wife
at whose house the Prophet was, struck the hand of the
servant, causing the dish to fall and break. The Prophet
gathered the broken pieces of the dish and then started
collecting on them the food which had been in the dish and
said, "Your mother (my wife) felt jealous." Then he detained
the servant till a (sound) dish was brought from the wife at
whose house he was. He gave the sound dish to the wife whose
dish had been broken and kept the broken one at the house
where it had been broken.
7.153:
Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet, said, "I entered Paradise and saw a palace and
asked whose palace is this? They (the Angels) said, "This
palace belongs to `Umar bin Al−Khattab.' I intended to enter
it, and nothing stopped me except my knowledge about your
sense of Ghira (self−respect (O `Umar)." `Umar said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for
you! O Allah's Prophet! How dare I think of my Ghira
(self−respect) being offended by you?" 7.154:
Narrated Abu Huraira: While we were sitting with Allah's
Apostle, (he) Allah's Apostle said, "While I was sleeping, I
saw a woman performing ablution beside a palace. I asked,
"Whose palace is this?' It was said, 'This palace belongs to
`Umar.' Then I remembered his sense of Ghira and returned." On
that `Umar started weeping in that gathering and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! How dare I think of my self−respect being
offended by you?"
7.155:
Narrated Aisha:
That Allah's Apostle said to her, "I you are pleased with me
or angry with me." I said, "Whence do you know that?" He said,
"When you are pleased with me, you say, 'No, by the Lord of
Muhammad,' but when you are angry with me, then you say, 'No,
by the Lord of Abraham.' " Thereupon I said, "Yes (you are
right), but by Allah, O Allah's Apostle, I leave nothing but
your name."
7.156:
Narrated `Aisha:
I never felt so jealous of any wife of Allah's Apostle as I
did of Khadija because Allah's Apostle used to remember and
praise her too often and because it was revealed to Allah's
Apostle that he should give her (Khadija) the glad tidings of
her having a palace of Qasab in Paradise .
7.157:
Narrated Al−Miswar bin Makhrama: I heard Allah's Apostle who
was on the pulpit, saying, "Banu Hisham bin Al−Mughira have
requested me to allow them to marry their daughter to `Ali bin
Abu Talib, but I don't give permission, and will not give
permission unless `Ali bin Abi Talib divorces my daughter in
order to marry their daughter, because Fatima is a part of my
body, and I hate what she hates to see, and what hurts her,
hurts me."
7.158:
Narrated Anas:
I will narrate to you a Habith I heard from Allah's Apostle
and none other than I will tell you of it. I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "From among the portents of the Hour are the
following: Religious knowledge will be taken away; General
ignorance (in religious matters) will increase; illegal Sexual
intercourse will prevail: Drinking of alcoholic drinks will
prevail. Men will decrease in number, and women will increase
in number, so much so that fifty women will be looked after by
one man."
7.159:
Narrated `Uqba bin 'Amir: Allah's Apostle said, "Beware of
entering upon the ladies." A man from the Ansar said, "Allah's
Apostle! What about Al−Hamu the in−laws of the wife (the
brothers of her husband or his nephews etc.)?" The Prophet
replied: The in−laws of the wife are death itself.
7.160:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas : The Prophet said, "No man should stay
with a lady in seclusion except in the presence of a
Dhu−Muhram." A man stood up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! My
wife has gone out intending to perform the Hajj and I have
been enrolled (in the army) for such−and−such campaign." The
Prophet said, "Return and perform the Hajj with your wife."
7.161:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: An Ansari woman came to the Prophet
and he took her aside and said (to her). "By Allah, you
(Ansar) are the most beloved people to me."
7.162:
Narrated Um Salama: that while the Prophet was with her, there
was an effeminate man in the house. The effeminate man said to
Um Salama's brother, `Abdullah bin Abi Umaiyya, "If Allah
should make you conquer Ta'if tomorrow, I recommend that you
take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) for (she is so fat)
that she shows four folds of flesh when facing you and eight
when she turns her back." Thereupon the Prophet said (to us),
"This (effeminate man) should not enter upon you (anymore).
7.163:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet was screening me with his Rida' (garment covering
the upper part of the body) while I was looking at the
Ethiopians who were playing in the courtyard of the mosque. (I
continued watching) till I was satisfied. So you may deduce
from this event how a little girl (who has not reached the age
of puberty) who is eager to enjoy amusement should be treated
in this respect.
7.164:
Narrated `Aisha:
Once Sa`da bint Zam`a went out at night for some need, and
`Umar saw her, and recognizing her, he said (to her), "By
Allah, O Sa`da! You cannot hide yourself from us." So she
returned to the Prophet and mentioned that to him while he was
sitting in my dwelling taking his supper and holding a bone
covered with meat in his hand. Then the Divine Inspiration was
revealed to him and when that state was over, he (the Prophet
was saying: "O women! You have been allowed by Allah to go out
for your needs."
7.165:
Narrated Salim's father: The Prophet said, "If the wife of
anyone of you asks permission to go to the mosque, he should
not forbid her."
7.166:
Narrated `Aisha:
My foster uncle came and asked permission (to enter) but I
refused to admit him till I asked Allah's Apostle about that.
He said, "He is your uncle, so allow him to come in." I said,
"O Allah's Apostle! I have been suckled by a woman and not by
a man." Allah's Apostle said, "He is your uncle, so let him
enter upon you." And that happened after the order of Al−Hijab
(compulsory veiling) was revealed. All things which become
unlawful because of blood relations are unlawful because of
the corresponding foster suckling relations.
7.167:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: The Prophet said, "A woman
should not look at or touch another woman to describe her to
her husband in such a way as if he was actually looking at
her." 7.168:
Narrated `Abdullah: The Prophet said, "A woman should not look
at or touch another woman to describe her to her husband in
such a way as if he was actually looking at her."
7.169:
Narrated Abu Huraira: (The Prophet) Solomon son of (the
Prophet) David said, "Tonight I will go round (i.e. have
sexual relations with) one hundred women (my wives) everyone
of whom will deliver a male child who will fight in Allah's
Cause." On that an Angel said to him, "Say: 'If Allah will.' "
But Solomon did not say it and forgot to say it. Then he had
sexual relations with them but none of them delivered any
child except one who delivered a half person. The Prophet
said, "If Solomon had said: 'If Allah will,' Allah would have
fulfilled his (above) desire and that saying would have made
him more hopeful."
7.170:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet disliked that one
should go to one's family at night (on returning from a
journey).
7.171:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said, "When
anyone of you is away from his house for a long time, he
should not return to his family at night."
7.172:
Narrated Jabir:
I was with Allah's Apostle in a Ghazwa, and when we returned,
I wanted to hurry, while riding a slow camel. A rider came
behind me. I looked back and saw that the rider was Allah's
Apostle . He said (to me), "What makes you in such a hurry?" I
replied, "I am newly married." He said, "Did you marry a
virgin or a matron?" I replied, "(Not a virgin but) a matron."
He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl with whom you
could play and who could play with you?" Then when we
approached (Medina) and were going to enter (it), the Prophet
said, "Wait till you enter (your homes) at night (in the first
part of the night) so that the ladies with unkempt hair may
comb their hair, and those whose husbands have been absent
(for a long time) may shave their pubic hair." (The
sub−narrator, Hashim said: A reliable narrator told me that
the Prophet added in this Hadith: "(Seek to beget) children!
Children, O Jabir!")
7.173:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet said, "If you enter
(your town) at night (after coming from a journey), do not
enter upon your family till the woman whose husband was absent
(from the house) shaves her pubic hair and the woman with
unkempt hair, combs her hair" Allah's Apostle further said,
"(O Jabir!) Seek to have offspring, seek to have offspring!"
7.174:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: We were with the Prophet in
Ghazwa, and when we returned and approached Medina, I wanted
to hurry while riding a slow camel. A rider overtook me and
pricked my camel with a spear which he had, whereupon my camel
started running as fast as any other fast camel you may see. I
looked back, and behold, the rider was Allah's Apostle . I
said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am newly married " He asked, "Have
you got married?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "A virgin or a
matron?" I replied, "(Not a virgin) but a matron" He said,
"Why didn't you marry a young girl so that you could play with
her and she with you?" When we reached (near Medina) and were
going to enter it, the Prophet said, "Wait till you enter your
home early in the night so that the lady whose hair is unkempt
may comb her hair and that the lady whose husband has been
away may shave her pubic hair."
7.175:
Narrated Abu Hazim: The people differed about the type of
treatment which had been given to Allah's Apostle on the day
(of the battle) of Uhud. So they asked Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`id
who was the only surviving Companion (of the Prophet) at
Medina. He replied, "Nobody Is left at Medina who knows it
better than I. Fatima was washing the blood off his face and
`Ali was bringing water in his shield, and then a mat of
date−palm leaves was burnt and (the ash) was inserted into the
wound."
7.176:
Narrated `Abdur−Rahman bin `Abis: I heard Ibn `Abbas answering
a man who asked him, "Did you attend the prayer of `Id al Adha
or `Id−al−Fitr with Allah's Apostle?" Ibn `Abbas replied,
"Yes, and had it not been for my close relationship with him,
I could not have offered it." (That was because of his young
age). Ibn `Abbas further said, Allah's Apostle went out and
offered the Id prayer and then delivered the sermon." Ibn
`Abbas did not mention anything about the Adhan (the call for
prayer) or the Iqama. He added, "Then the Prophet went to the
women and instructed them and gave them religious advice and
ordered them to give alms and I saw them reaching out (their
hands to) their ears and necks (to take off the earrings and
necklaces, etc.) and throwing (it) towards Bilal. Then the
Prophet returned with Bilal to his house . "
7.177:
Narrated `Aisha:
Abu Bakr admonished me and poked me with his hands in the
flank, and nothing stopped me from moving at that time except
the position of Allah's Apostle whose head was on my thigh.
Bk. 63: Divorce
7.178:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: that he had divorced his wife
while she was menstruating during the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle . `Umar bin Al−Khattab asked Allah's Apostle about
that. Allah's Apostle said, "Order him (your son) to take her
back and keep her till she is clean and then to wait till she
gets her next period and becomes clean again, whereupon, if he
wishes to keep her, he can do so, and if he wishes to divorce
her he can divorce her before having sexual intercourse with
her; and that is the prescribed period which Allah has fixed
for the women meant to be divorced."
7.179:
Narrated Anas bin Seereen: Ibn `Umar said: "I divorced my wife
while she was menstruating. `Umar mentioned that to the
Prophet . The Prophet said, (to my father), "Let your son take
her back." I asked (Ibn `Umar), "Is such a divorce counted
(i.e. as one legal divorce)?" Ibn `Umar said, "Of course."
Narrated Yunus bin Jubair: Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet said
to `Umar, 'Order him (Ibn `Umar) to take her back.' " I asked,
"Is such a divorce counted (as one legal divorce)?" Ibn `Umar
said, "What do you think if someone becomes helpless and
foolish?"
7.180:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: (Divorcing my wife during her menses) was
counted as one legal divorce.
7.181:
Narrated Al−Awza:
I asked Az−Zuhri, "Which of the wives of the Prophet sought
refuge with Allah from him?" He said "I was told by 'Ursa that
`Aisha said, 'When the daughter of Al−Jaun was brought to
Allah's Apostle (as his bride) and he went near her, she said,
"I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "You have sought
refuge with The Great; return to your family."
7.182:
Narrated Abu Usaid: We went out with the Prophet to a garden
called Ash−Shaut till we reached two walls between which we
sat down. The Prophet said, "Sit here," and went in (the
garden). The Jauniyya (a lady from Bani Jaun) had been brought
and lodged in a house in a date−palm garden in the home of
Umaima bint An−Nu`man bin Sharahil, and her wet nurse was with
her. When the Prophet entered upon her, he said to her, "Give
me yourself (in marriage) as a gift." She said, "Can a
princess give herself in marriage to an ordinary man?" The
Prophet raised his hand to pat her so that she might become
tranquil. She said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He
said, "You have sought refuge with One Who gives refuge. Then
the Prophet came out to us and said, "O Abu Usaid! Give her
two white linen dresses to wear and let her go back to her
family." Narrated Sahl and Abu Usaid: The Prophet married
Umaima bint Sharahil, and when she was brought to him, he
stretched his hand towards her. It seemed that she disliked
that, whereupon the Prophet ordered Abu Usaid to prepare her
and to provide her with two white linen dresses. (See Hadith
No. 541).
7.183:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: similarly as above (182).
7.184:
Narrated Abi Ghallab Yunus bin Jubair: I asked Ibn
`Umar,"(What is said regarding) a man divorces his wife during
her period?" He said, "Do you know Ibn `Umar? Ibn `Umar
divorced his wife while she was menstruating. `Umar then went
to the Prophet and mentioned that to him. The Prophet ordered
him to take her back and when she became clean, he could
divorce her if he wanted." I asked (Ibn `Umar), "Was that
divorce counted as one legal divorce?" He said, "If one
becomes helpless and foolish (will he be excused? Of course
not). "
7.185:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`idi: Uwaimir Al−`Ajlani came to
`Asim bin Adi Al−Ansari and asked, "O `Asim! Tell me, if a man
sees his wife with another man, should he kill him, whereupon
you would kill him in Qisas, or what should he do? O `Asim!
Please ask Allah's Apostle about that." `Asim asked Allah's
Apostle about that. Allah's Apostle disliked that question and
considered it disgraceful. What `Asim heard from Allah's
Apostle was hard on him. When he returned to his family,
'Uwaimir came to him and said "O `Asim! What did Allah's
Apostle say to you?" `Asim said, "You never bring me any good.
Allah's Apostle disliked to hear the problem which I asked him
about." 'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not leave the matter
till I ask him about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he came
to Allah's Apostle who was in the midst of the people and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! If a man finds with his wife another
man, should he kill him, whereupon you would kill him (in
Qisas): or otherwise, what should he do?" Allah's Apostle
said, "Allah has revealed something concerning the question of
you and your wife. Go and bring her here." So they both
carried out the judgment of Lian, while I was present among
the people (as a witness). When both of them had finished,
'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now keep my
wife with me, then I have told a lie". Then he pronounced his
decision to divorce her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered
him to do so. (Ibn Shihab said, "That was the tradition for
all those who are involved in a case of Lian."
7.186:
Narrated `Aisha:
The wife of Rifa`a Al−Qurazi came to Allah's Apostle and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Rifa`a divorced me irrevocably. After him
I married `Abdur−Rahman bin Az−Zubair Al−Qurazi who proved to
be impotent." Allah's Apostle said to her, "Perhaps you want
to return to Rifa`a? Nay (you cannot return to Rifa`a) until
you and `Abdur−Rahman consummate your marriage." 7.187:
Narrated `Aisha:
A man divorced his wife thrice (by expressing his decision to
divorce her thrice), then she married another man who also
divorced her. The Prophet was asked if she could legally marry
the first husband (or not). The Prophet replied, "No, she
cannot marry the first husband unless the second husband
consummates his marriage with her, just as the first husband
had done."
7.188:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle gave us the option (to remain with him or to
be divorced) and we selected Allah and His Apostle . So,
giving us that option was not regarded as divorce.
7.189:
Narrated Musruq:
I asked `Aisha about the option: She said, "The Prophet gave
us the option. Do you think that option was considered as a
divorce?" I said, "It matters little to me if I give my wife
the option once or a hundred times after she has chosen me."
7.190:
Narrated `Aisha:
A man divorced his wife and she married another man who proved
to be impotent and divorced her. She could not get her
satisfaction from him, and after a while he divorced her. Then
she came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! My first
husband divorced me and then I married another man who entered
upon me to consummate his marriage but he proved to be
impotent and did not approach me except once during which he
benefited nothing from me. Can I remarry my first husband in
this case?" Allah's Apostle said, "It is unlawful to marry
your first husband till the other husband consummates his
marriage with you."
7.191:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: that he heard Ibn `Abbas saying,
"If a man makes his wife unlawful for him, it does not mean
that she is divorced." He added, "Indeed in the Apostle of
Allah , you have a good example to follow."
7.192:
Narrated `Ubaid bin `Umar: I heard `Aisha saying, "The Prophet
used to stay for a long while with Zanab bint Jahsh and drink
honey at her house. So Hafsa and I decided that if the Prophet
came to anyone of us, she should say him, "I detect the smell
of Maghafir (a nasty smelling gum) in you. Have you eaten
Maghafir?' " So the Prophet visited one of them and she said
to him similarly. The Prophet said, "Never mind, I have taken
some honey at the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, but I shall
never drink of it anymore." So there was revealed: 'O Prophet
! Why do you ban (for you) that which Allah has made lawful
for you . . . If you two (wives of Prophet) turn in repentance
to Allah,' (66.1−4) addressing Aisha and Hafsa. 'When the
Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to some of his
wives.' (66.3) namely his saying: But I have taken some
honey."
7.193:
Narrated `Aisha:
Allah's Apostle was fond of honey and sweet edible things and
(it was his habit) that after finishing the `Asr prayer he
would visit his wives and stay with one of them at that time.
Once he went to Hafsa, the daughter of `Umar and stayed with
her more than usual. I got jealous and asked the reason for
that. I was told that a lady of her folk had given her a skin
filled with honey as a present, and that she made a syrup from
it and gave it to the Prophet to drink (and that was the
reason for the delay). I said, "By Allah we will play a trick
on him (to prevent him from doing so)." So I said to Sa`da
bint Zam`a "The Prophet will approach you, and when he comes
near you, say: 'Have you taken Maghafir (a bad−smelling gum)?'
He will say, 'No.' Then say to him: 'Then what is this bad
smell which i smell from you?' He will say to you, 'Hafsa made
me drink honey syrup.' Then say: Perhaps the bees of that
honey had sucked the juice of the tree of Al−`Urfut.' I shall
also say the same. O you, Safiyya, say the same." Later Sa`da
said, "By Allah, as soon as he (the Prophet ) stood at the
door, I was about to say to him what you had ordered me to say
because I was afraid of you." So when the Prophet came near
Sa`da, she said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! Have you taken
Maghafir?" He said, "No." She said. "Then what is this bad
smell which I detect on you?" He said, "Hafsa made me drink
honey syrup." She said, "Perhaps its bees had sucked the juice
of Al−`Urfut tree." When he came to me, I also said the same,
and when he went to Safiyya, she also said the same. And when
the Prophet again went to Hafsa, she said, 'O Allah's Apostle!
Shall I give you more of that drink?" He said, "I am not in
need of it." Sa`da said, "By Allah, we deprived him (of it)."
I said to her, "Keep quiet." '
7.194:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Allah has forgiven my
followers the evil thoughts that occur to their minds, as long
as such thoughts are not put into action or uttered." And
Qatada said, "If someone divorces his wife just in his mind,
such an unuttered divorce has no effect.:
7.195:
Narrated Jabir:
A man from the tribe of Bani Aslam came to the Prophet while
he was in the mosque and said, "I have committed illegal
sexual intercourse." The Prophet turned his face to the other
side. The man turned towards the side towards which the
Prophet had turned his face, and gave four witnesses against
himself. On that the Prophet called him and said, "Are you
insane?" (He added), "Are you married?" The man said, 'Yes."
On that the Prophet ordered him to be stoned to the death in
the Musalla (a praying place). When the stones hit him with
their sharp edges and he fled, but he was caught at Al−Harra
and then killed
7.196:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man from Bani Aslam came to Allah's
Apostle while he was in the mosque and called (the Prophet )
saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual
intercourse." On that the Prophet turned his face from him to
the other side, whereupon the man moved to the side towards
which the Prophet had turned his face, and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have committed illegal sexual intercourse." The
Prophet turned his face (from him) to the other side whereupon
the man moved to the side towards which the Prophet had turned
his face, and repeated his statement. The Prophet turned his
face (from him) to the other side again. The man moved again
(and repeated his statement) for the fourth time. So when the
man had given witness four times against himself, the Prophet
called him and said, "Are you insane?" He replied, "No." The
Prophet then said (to his companions), "Go and stone him to
death." The man was a married one. Jabir bin `Abdullah
Al−Ansari said: I was one of those who stoned him. We stoned
him at the Musalla (`Id praying place) in Medina. When the
stones hit him with their sharp edges, he fled, but we caught
him at Al−Harra and stoned him till he died.
7.197:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The wife of Thabit bin Qais came to the
Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I do not blame Thabit
for defects in his character or his religion, but I, being a
Muslim, dislike to behave in un−Islamic manner (if I remain
with him)." On that Allah's Apostle said (to her), "Will you
give back the garden which your husband has given you (as
Mahr)?" She said, "Yes." Then the Prophet said to Thabit, "O
Thabit! Accept your garden, and divorce her once."
7.198:
Narrated `Ikrima:
The sister of `Abdullah bin Ubai narrated (the above
narration, 197) with the addition that the Prophet said to
Thabit's wife, "Will you return his garden?" She said, "Yes,"
and returned it, and (then) the Prophet ordered Thabit to
divorce her. Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The wife of Thabit bin Qais
came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I do not
blame Thabit for any defects in his character or his religion,
but I cannot endure to live with him." On that Allah's Apostle
said, "Will you return his garden to him?" She said, "Yes."
7.199:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The wife of Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas
came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I do not
blame Thabit for any defects in his character or his religion,
but I am afraid that I (being a Muslim) may become unthankful
for Allah's Blessings." On that, Allah's Apostle said (to
her), 'Will you return his garden to him?" She said, "Yes." So
she returned his garden to him and the Prophet told him to
divorce her.
7.200:
Narrated `Ikrima:
that Jamila... Then he related the whole ,Hadith, (i.e. 199).
7.201:
Narrated Al−Miswar bin Makhrama Az−Zuhri: I heard the Prophet
saying, "Banu Al−Mughira have asked my leave to let `Ali marry
their daughter, but I give no leave to this effect." 7.202:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Three traditions were established
concerning situations in which Barra was involved: When she
was manumitted, she was given the option to keep her husband
or leave him; Allah's Apostle said, "The wala is for the one
who manumits, Once Allah's Apostle entered the house while
some meat was being cooked in a pot, but only bread and some
soup of the house were placed before, him. He said, "Don't I
see the pot containing meat?" They said, "Yes, but that meat
was given to Barira in charity (by someone), and you do not
eat what it given in charity."The Prophet said "That meat is
alms for her, but for us it is a present."
7.203:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: I saw him as a slave, (namely, Barira's
husband).
7.204:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: That was Mughith, the slave of Bani
so−and−so, i.e., Barira's husband as if I am now looking at
him following her (Barira) along the streets of Medina.
7.205:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Barira's husband was a black slave called
Mughith, the slave of Bani so−and−so−− as if I am seeing him
now, walking behind her along the streets of Medina.
7.206:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Barira's husband was a slave called
Mughith, as if I am seeing him now, going behind Barira and
weeping with his tears flowing down his beard. The Prophet
said to `Abbas, "O `Abbas ! are you not astonished at the love
of Mughith for Barira and the hatred of Barira for Mughith?"
The Prophet then said to Barira, "Why don't you return to
him?" She said, "O Allah's Apostle! Do you order me to do so?"
He said, "No, I only intercede for him." She said, "I am not
in need of him." 7.207:
Narrated Al−Aswad: Aisha intended to buy Barira, but her
masters stipulated that her wala wound be for them. Aisha
mentioned that to the Prophet who said (to `Aisha), "Buy and
manumit her, for the wala is for the one who manumits." Once
some me; was brought to the Prophet and was said, "This meat
was given in charity to Barira. " The Prophet said, "It an
object of charity for Barira and present for us."
7.208:
Narrated Adam:
Shu`ba relate the same Hadith and added: Barira was given the
option regarding her husband.
7.209:
Narrated Nafi`:
Whenever Ibn `Umar was asked about marrying a Christian lady
or a Jewess, he would say: "Allah has made it unlawful for the
believers to marry ladies who ascribe partners in worship to
Allah, and I do not know of a greater thing, as regards to
ascribing partners in worship, etc. to Allah, than that a lady
should say that Jesus is her Lord although he is just one of
Allah's slaves."
7.210:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The pagans were of two kinds as regards
their relationship to the Prophet and the Believers. Some of
them were those with whom the Prophet was at war and used to
fight against, and they used to fight him; the others were
those with whom the Prophet made a treaty, and neither did the
Prophet fight them, nor did they fight him. If a lady from the
first group of pagans emigrated towards the Muslims, her hand
would not be asked in marriage unless she got the menses and
then became clean. When she became clean, it would be lawful
for her to get married, and if her husband emigrated too
before she got married, then she would be returned to him. If
any slave or female slave emigrated from them to the Muslims,
then they would be considered free persons (not slaves) and
they would have the same rights as given to other emigrants.
The narrator then mentioned about the pagans involved with the
Muslims in a treaty, the same as occurs in Mujahid's
narration. If a male slave or a female slave emigrated from
such pagans as had made a treaty with the Muslims, they would
not be returned, but their prices would be paid (to the
pagans). Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Qariba, the daughter of Abi
Umaiyya, was the wife of `Umar bin Al−Khattab. `Umar divorced
her and then Mu'awiyya bin Abi Sufyan married her. Similarly,
Um Al−Hakam, the daughter of Abi Sufyan was the wife of 'Iyad
bin Ghanm Al−Fihri. He divorced her and then `Abdullah bin
`Uthman Al−Thaqafi married her.
7.211:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) When believing women came to the
Prophet as emigrants, he used to test them in accordance with
the order of Allah. 'O you who believe! When believing women
come to you as emigrants, examine them . . .' (60.10) So if
anyone of those believing women accepted the above mentioned
conditions, she accepted the conditions of faith. When they
agreed on those conditions and confessed that with their
tongues, Allah's Apostle would say to them, "Go, I have
accepted your oath of allegiance (for Islam). By Allah, and
hand of Allah's Apostle never touched the hand of any woman,
but he only used to take their pledge of allegiance orally. By
Allah, Allah's Apostle did not take the pledge of allegiance
of the women except in accordance with what Allah had ordered
him. When he accepted their pledge of allegiance he would say
to them, "I have accepted your oath of allegiance."
7.212:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle took an oath that he
would abstain from his wives, and at that time his leg had
been sprained (dislocated). So he stayed in the Mashruba (an
attic room) of his for 29 days. Then he came down, and they
(the people) said, "O Allah's Apostle! You took an oath to
abstain from your wives for one month." He said, "The month is
of twenty nine days."
7.213:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar used to say about the Ila (which Allah defined (in
the Holy Book), "If the period of Ila expires, then the
husband has either to retain his wife in a handsome manner or
to divorce her as Allah has ordered." Ibn `Umar added, "When
the period of four months has expired, the husband should be
put in prison so that he should divorce his wife, but the
divorce does not occur unless the husband himself declares it.
This has been mentioned by `Uthman, `Ali, Abu Ad−Darda, `Aisha
and twelve other companions of the Prophet ."
7.214:
Narrated Yazid:
(the Maula of Munba'ith) The Prophet was asked regarding the
case of a lost sheep. He said, "You should take it, because it
is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf." Then he was
asked about a lost camel. He got angry and his face became red
and he said (to the questioner), "You have nothing to do with
it; it has its feet and its water container with it; it can go
on drinking water and eating trees till its owner meets it."
And then the Prophet was asked about a Luqata (money found by
somebody). He said, "Remember and recognize its tying material
and its container, and make public announcement about it for
one year. If somebody comes and identifies it (then give it to
him), otherwise add it to your property."
7.215:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle performed the Tawaf
(around the Ka`ba while riding his camel, and every time he
reached the corner (of the Black Stone) he pointed at it with
his hand and said, "Allahu Akbar." (Zainab said: The Prophet
said, "An opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog
like this and this," forming the number 90 (with his thumb and
index finger).
7.216.1:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Abul Qasim (the Prophet ) said, "There
is an hour (or a moment) of particular significance on Friday.
If it happens that a Muslim is offering a prayer and invoking
Allah for some good at that very moment, Allah will grant him
his request." (The sub−narrator placed the top of his finger
on the palm of the other hand between the middle finger and
the little one.)
7.216.2:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: During the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle a Jew attacked a girl and took some silver ornaments
she was wearing and crushed her head. Her relative brought her
to the Prophet while she was in her last breaths, and she was
unable to speak. Allah's Apostle asked her, "Who has hit you?
So−and so?", mentioning somebody other than her murderer. She
moved her head, indicating denial. The Prophet mentioned
another person other than the murderer, and she again moved
her head indicating denial. Then he asked, "Was it
so−and−so?", mentioning the name of her killer. She nodded,
agreeing. Then Allah's Apostle; ordered that the head of that
Jew be crushed between two stones.

7.218:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi A'ufa: We were with Allah's Apostle
on a journey, and when the sun set, he said to a man, "Get
down and prepare a drink of Sawiq for me." The man said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Will you wait till it is evening?" Allah's
Apostle again said, "Get down and prepare a drink of Sawiq."
The man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Will you wait till it is
evening, for it is still daytime. " The Prophet again said,
"Get down and prepare a drink of Sawiq." So the third time the
man got down and prepared a drink of sawiq for him. Allah's
Apostle drank thereof and pointed with his hand towards the
East, saying, "When you see the night falling from this side,
then a fasting person should break his fast."
7.219.1:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: The Prophet said, "The call (or
the Adhan) of Bila should not stop you from taking the
Suhur−meals for Bilal calls (or pronounces the Adhan) so that
the one who is offering the night prayer should take a rest,
and he does not indicate the daybreak or dawn." The narrator,
Yazid, described (how dawn breaks) by stretching out his hands
and then separating them wide apart.
7.219.2:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, The example of a
miser and a generous person is like that of two persons
wearing iron cloaks from the breast upto the neck When the
generous person spends, the iron cloak enlarges and spread
over his skin so much so that it covers his fingertips and
obliterates his tracks. As for the miser, as soon as he thinks
of spending every ring of the iron cloak sticks to its place
(against his body) and he tries to expand it, but it does not
expand. The Prophet pointed with his hand towards his throat.
7.220:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle said, "Shall I tell
you of the best families among the Ansar?" They (the people)
said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said, "The best
are Banu− An−Najjar, and after them are Banu `Abdil Ash−hal,
and after them are Banu Al−Harith bin Al−Khazraj, and after
them are Banu Sa`ida." The Prophet then moved his hand by
closing his fingers and then opening them like one throwing
something, and then said, "Anyhow, there is good in all the
families of the Ansar. "
7.221:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`idi: (a companion of Allah's
Apostle) Allah's Apostle, holding out his middle and index
fingers, said, "My advent and the Hour's are like this (or
like these)," namely, the period between his era and the Hour
is like the distance between those two fingers, i.e., very
short.
7.222:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet (holding out his ten fingers
thrice), said, "The month is thus and thus and thus," namely
thirty days. Then (holding out his ten fingers twice and then
nine fingers), he said, "It may be thus and thus and thus,"
namely twenty nine days. He meant once thirty days and once
twenty nine days.
7.223:
Narrated Abu Masud: The Prophet pointed with his hand towards
Yemen and said twice, "Faith is there," and then pointed
towards the East, and said, "Verily, sternness and
mercilessness are the qualities of those who are busy with
their camels and pay no attention to their religion, where the
two sides of the head of Satan will appear," namely, the
tribes of Rabl'a and Muqar.
7.224:
Narrated Sahl:
Allah's Apostle said, "I and the one who looks after an orphan
will be like this in Paradise," showing his middle and index
fingers and separating them. 7.225:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Prophet and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! A black child has been born for me." The
Prophet asked him, "Have you got camels?" The man said, "Yes."
The Prophet asked him, "What color are they?" The man replied,
"Red." The Prophet said, "Is there a grey one among them?' The
man replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Whence comes that?" He
said, "May be it is because of heredity." The Prophet said,
"May be your latest son has this color because of heredity."
7.226:
Narrated `Abdullah: An Ansari man accused his wife (of
committing illegal sexual intercourse). The Prophet made both
of them takes the oath of Lian, and separated them from each
other (by divorce). 7.227:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Hilal bin Umaiyya accused his wife of
illegal sexual intercourse and came to the Prophet to bear
witness (against her), (taking the oath of Lian). The Prophet
was saying, "Allah knows that either of you is a liar. Will
anyone of you repent (to Allah)?" Then the lady got up and
gave her witness.
7.228:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As−Sa`idi: 'Uwaimir Al−Ajlani came to
`Asim bin Ad Al−Ansari and said to him, "O `Asim! Suppose a
man saw another man with his wife, would he kill him whereupon
you would kill him; or what should he do? Please, O `Asim, ask
about this on my behalf." `Asim asked Allah's Apostle about
it. Allah's Apostle, disliked that question and considered it
disgraceful. What `Asim heard from Allah's Apostle was hard on
him. When `Asim returned to his family, 'Uwaimir came to him
and said, "O `Asim! What did Allah's Apostle. say to you?"
`Asim said to 'Uwaimir, "You never bring me any good. Allah's
Apostle disliked the problem which I asked him about."
'Uwaimir said, "By Allah, I will not give up this matter until
I ask the Prophet about it." So 'Uwaimir proceeded till he
came to Allah's Apostle in the midst of people, and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! If a man sees another man with his wife,
would he kill him, whereupon you would kill him, or what
should he do?" Allah's Apostle said, "Allah has revealed some
decree as regards you and your wives case. Go and bring her."
So they carried out the process of Lian while I was present
among the people with Allah's Apostle. When they had finished
their Lian, 'Uwaimir said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now
keep her with me as a wife, then I have told a lie." So he
divorced her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered him. (Ibn
Shihab said: So divorce was the tradition for all those who
were involved in a case of Lian.)
7.229:
Narrated Ibn Juraij: Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the
tradition related to it, referring to the narration of Sahl
bin Sa`d, the brother of Bani Sa`idi He said, "An Ansari man
came to Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! If a man
saw another man with his wife, should he kill him, or what
should he do?' So Allah revealed concerning his affair what is
mentioned in the Holy Qur'an about the affair of those
involved in a case of Lian. The Prophet said, 'Allah has given
His verdict regarding you and your wife.' So they carried out
Lian in the mosque while I was present there. When they had
finished, the man said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I should now
keep her with me as a wife then I have told a lie about her.
Then he divorced her thrice before Allah's Apostle ordered
him, when they had finished the Lian process. So he divorced
her in front of the Prophet ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their
case, it became a tradition that a couple involved in a case
of Lian should be separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant
then, and later on her son was called by his mother's name.
The tradition concerning their inheritance was that she would
be his heir and he would inherit of her property the share
Allah had prescribed for him." Ibn Shihab said that Sahl bin
Sa`d As'Saidi said that the Prophet said (in the above
narration), "If that lady delivers a small red child like a
lizard, then the lady has spoken the truth and the man was a
liar, but if she delivers a child with black eyes and huge
lips, then her husband has spoken the truth." Then she
delivered it in the shape one would dislike (as it proved her
guilty).
7.230:
Narrated Al−Qasim bin Muhammad: Ibn `Abbas; said, "Once Lian
was mentioned before the Prophet whereupon `Asim bin Adi said
something and went away. Then a man from his tribe came to
him, complaining that he had found a man width his wife. `Asim
said, 'I have not been put to task except for my statement
(about Lian).' `Asim took the man to the Prophet and the man
told him of the state in which he had found his wife. The man
was pale, thin, and of lank hair, while the other man whom he
claimed he had seen with his wife, was brown, fat and had much
flesh on his calves. The Prophet invoked, saying, 'O Allah!
Reveal the truth.' So that lady delivered a child resembling
the man whom her husband had mentioned he had found her with.
The Prophet then made them carry out Lian." Then a man from
that gathering asked Ibn `Abbas, "Was she the same lady
regarding which the Prophet had said, 'If I were to stone to
death someone without witness, I would have stoned this
lady'?" Ibn `Abbas said, "No, that was another lady who,
though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion by her
outright misbehavior. "
7.231:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: I asked Ibn `Umar, "(What is the
verdict if) a man accuses his wife of illegal sexual
intercourse?" Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet separated (by
divorce) the couple of Bani Al−Ajlan, and said, (to them),
'Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you
repent?' But both of them refused. He again said, 'Allah knows
that one of you two is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But
both of them refused. So he separated them by divorce."
(Aiyub, a sub−narrator said: `Amr bin Dinar said to me, "There
is something else in this Hadith which you have not mentioned.
It goes thus: The man said, 'What about my money (i.e. the
Mahr that I have given to my wife)?' It was said, 'You have no
right to restore any money, for if you have spoken the truth
(as regards the accusation), you have also consummated your
marriage with her; and if you have told a lie, you are less
rightful to have your money back.' ")
7.232:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: I asked Ibn `Umar about those who
were involved in a case of Lien. He said, "The Prophet said to
those who were involved in a case of Lien, 'Your accounts are
with Allah. One of you two is a liar, and you (the husband)
have no right over her (she is divorced)." The man said, 'What
about my property (Mahr) ?' The Prophet said, 'You have no
right to get back your property. If you have told the truth
about her then your property was for the consummation of your
marriage with her; and if you told a lie about her, then you
are less rightful to get your property back.' " Sufyan, a
sub−narrator said: I learned the Hadith from `Amr. Narrated
Aiyub: I heard Sa`id bin Jubair saying, "I asked Ibn `Umar,
'If a man (accuses his wife for an illegal sexual intercourse
and) carries out the process of Lian (what will happen)?' Ibn
`Umar set two of his fingers apart. (Sufyan set his index
finger and middle finger apart.) Ibn `Umar said, 'The Prophet
separated the couple of Bani Al−Ajlan by divorce and said
thrice, "Allah knows that one of you two is a liar; so will
one of you repent (to Allah)?' "

belonged to the mother only.
7.236:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Those involved in a case of Lian were
mentioned before Allah's Apostle `Asim bin Adi said something
about that and then left. Later on a man from his tribe came
to him and told him that he had found another man with his
wife. On that `Asim said, "I have not been put to task except
for what I have said (about Lian)." `Asim took the man to
Allah's Apostle and he told him of the state in which he found
his wife. The man was pale, thin and lank−haired, while the
other man whom he had found with his wife was brown, fat with
thick calves and curly hair. Allah's Apostle said, "O Allah!
Reveal the truth." Then the lady delivered a child resembling
the man whom her husband had mentioned he had found with her.
So Allah's Apostle ordered them to carry out Lien. A man from
that gathering said to Ibn `Abbas, "Was she the same lady
regarding whom Allah's Apostle said, 'If I were to stone to
death someone without witnesses, I would have stoned this
lady'?" Ibn `Abbas said, "No, that was another lady who,
though being a Muslim, used to arouse suspicion because of her
outright misbehavior."

cannot remarry your first husband) till you taste the second
husband and he tastes you (i.e. till he consummates his
marriage with you).

him unless I have completed one of the two prescribed
periods." About ten days later (after having delivered her
child), she went to the Prophet and he said (to her), "You can
marry now."
7.240:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abdullah: that his father had written
to Ibn Al−Arqam a letter asking him to ask Subai'a Al−Aslamiya

marry."
7.241:
Narrated Al−Miswer bin Makhrama: Subai'a Al−Aslamiya gave
birth to a child a few days after the death of her husband.

7.242:
Narrated Qasim bin Muhammad and Sulaiman bin Yasar: that Yahya
bin Sa`id bin Al−`As divorced the daughter of `Abdur−Rahman
bin Al−Hakarn. `Abdur−Rahman took her to his house. On that
`Aisha sent a message to Marwan bin Al−Hakam who was the ruler
of Medina, saying, "Fear Allah, and urge your brother) to
return her to her house." Marwan (in Sulaiman's version) said,
"Abdur−Rahman bin Al−Hakam did not obey me (or had a
convincing argument)." (In Al−Qasim's versions Marwan said,
"Have you not heard of the case of Fatima bint Qais?" Aisha
said, "The case of Fatima bint Qais is not in your favor.'
Marwan bin Al−Hakam said to `Aisha, "The reason that made
Fatima bint Qais go to her father's house is just applicable
to the daughter of `Abdur−Rahman."
7.243:
Narrated Al−Qasim: Aisha said, "What is wrong with Fatima? Why
doesn't she fear Allah?" by saying that a divorced lady is not
entitled to be provided with residence and sustenance (by her
husband). 7.244:
Narrated Qasim:
Ursa said to Aisha, "Do you know so−and−so, the daughter of
Al−Hakam? Her husband divorced her irrevocably and she left
(her husband's house)." `Aisha said, "What a bad thing she has
done!" 'Ursa said (to `Aisha), "Haven't you heard the
statement of Fatima?" `Aisha replied, "It is not in her favor
to mention." 'Ursa added, `Aisha reproached (Fatima) severely
and said, "Fatima was in a lonely place, and she was proned to
danger, so the Prophet allowed her (to go out of her husband's
house).

perform Tawaf−al−Ifada on the day of Nahr? She said, "Yes." He
said, "Then you can depart."
7.247:
Narrated Al−Hasan: Ma'qil gave his sister in marriage and
later her husband divorced her once. 7.248:
Narrated Al−Hasan: The sister of Ma'qil bin Yasar was married
to a man and then that man divorced her and remained away from
her till her period of the 'Iddah expired. Then he demanded
for her hand in marriage, but Ma'qil got angry out of pride
and haughtiness and said, "He kept away from her when he could
still retain her, and now he demands her hand again?" So
Ma'qil disagreed to remarry her to him. Then Allah revealed:
'When you have divorced women and they have fulfilled the term
of their prescribed period, do not prevent them from marrying
their (former) husbands.' (2.232) So the Prophet sent for
Ma'qil and recited to him (Allah's order) and consequently
Ma'qil gave up his pride and haughtiness and yielded to
Allah's order.
7.249:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar bin Al−Khattab divorced his wife during her menses.
Allah's Apostle ordered him to take her back till she became
clean, and when she got another period while she was with him,
she should wait till she became clean again and only then, if
he wanted to divorce her, he could do so before having sexual
relations with her. And that is the period Allah has fixed for
divorcing women. Whenever `Abdullah (bin `Umar) was asked
about that, he would say to the questioner, "If you divorced
her thrice, she is no longer lawful for you unless she marries
another man (and the other man divorces her in his turn).' Ibn
`Umar further said, 'Would that you (people) only give one or
two divorces, because the Prophet has ordered me so."
7.250:
Narrated Yunus Ibn Jubair: Ibn `Umar divorced his wife while
she was having her menses. `Umar asked the Prophet who said,
"Order him (your son) to take her back, and then divorced her
before her period of the 'Iddah has elapsed." I asked Ibn
`Umar, "Will that divorce (during the menses) be counted?" He
replied, "If somebody behaves foolishly (will his foolishness
be an excuse for his misbehavior)?"
7.251:
Narrated Humaid bin Nafi`: Zainab bint Abu Salama told me
these three narrations: Zainab said: I went to Um Habiba, the
wife of the Prophet when her father, Abu− Sufyan bin Herb had
died. Um ,Habiba asked for a perfume which contained yellow
scent (Khaluq) or some other scent, and she first perfumed one
of the girls with it and then rubbed her cheeks with it and
said, "By Allah, I am not in need of perfume, but I have heard
Allah's Apostle saying, 'It is not lawful for a lady who
believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for a dead person
for more than three days unless he is her husband for whom she
should mourn for four months and ten days.' " Zainab further
said: I want to Zainab bint Jahsh when her brother died. She
asked for perfume and used some of it and said, "By Allah, I
am not in need of perfume, but I have heard Allah's Apostle
saying on the pulpit, 'It is not lawful for a lady who
believes in Allah and the last day to mourn for more than
three days except for her husband for whom she should mourn
for four months and ten days.' " Zainab further said, "I heard
my mother, Um Salama saying that a woman came to Allah's
Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! The husband of my
daughter has died and she is suffering from an eye disease,
can she apply kohl to her eye?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No,"
twice or thrice. (Every time she repeated her question) he
said, "No." Then Allah's Apostle added, "It is just a matter
of four months and ten days. In the Pre−Islamic Period of
ignorance a widow among you should throw a globe of dung when
one year has elapsed." I said to Zainab, "What does 'throwing
a globe of dung when one year had elapsed' mean?" Zainab said,
"When a lady was bereaved of her husband, she would live in a
wretched small room and put on the worst clothes she had and
would not touch any scent till one year had elapsed. Then she
would bring an animal, e.g. a donkey, a sheep or a bird and
rub her body against it. The animal against which she would
rub her body would scarcely survive. Only then she would come
out of her room, whereupon she would be given a globe of dung
which she would throw away and then she would use the scent
she liked or the like."
7.252:
Narrated Um Salama: A woman was bereaved of her husband and
her relatives worried about her eyes (which were diseased).
They came to Allah's Apostle, and asked him to allow them to
treat her eyes with kohl, but he said, "She should not apply
kohl to her eyes. (In the Pre−Islamic period of Ignorance) a
widowed woman among you would stay in the worst of her clothes
(or the worst part of her house) and when a year had elapsed,
if a dog passed by her, she would throw a globe of dung, Nay,
(she cannot use kohl) till four months and ten days have
elapsed." Narrated Um Habiba: The Prophet said, "It is not
lawful for a Muslim woman who believes in Allah and the Last
Day to mourn for more than three days, except for her husband,
for whom she should mourn for four months and ten days."
7.253:
Narrated Um 'Atiyya: We were forbidden to mourn for more than
three days except for a husband.
7.254:
Narrated Um 'Atiyya: We were forbidden to mourn for more than
three days for a dead person, except for a husband, for whom a
wife should mourn for four months and ten days (while in the
mourning period) we were not allowed to put kohl in our eyes,
nor perfume our−selves, nor wear dyed clothes, except a
garment of 'Asb (special clothes made in Yemen). But it was
permissible for us that when one of us became clean from her
menses and took a bath, she could use a piece of a certain
kind of incense. And it was forbidden for us to follow funeral
processions.
7.255:
Narrated Um 'Atiyya: The Prophet said, "It is not lawful for a
lady who believes in Allah and the Last Day, to mourn for more
than three days for a dead person, except for her husband, in
which case she should neither put kohl in her eyes, nor
perfume herself, nor wear dyed clothes, except a garment of
'Asb" Um 'Atiyya added: The Prophet said, "She should not use
perfume except when she becomes clean from her menses
whereupon she can use Qust, and Azfar (two kinds of incense).
7.256:
Narrated Mujahid:
(regarding the Verse): 'If any of you dies and leaves wives
behind,' That was the period of the 'Iddah which the widow was
obliged to spend in the house of the late husband. Then Allah
revealed: And those of you who die and leave wives should
bequeath for their wives a year's maintenance and residence
without turning them out, but if they leave, there is no blame
on you for what they do of themselves, provided it is
honorable (i.e. lawful marriage) (2.240) Mujahid said: Allah
has ordered that a widow has the right to stay for seven
months and twenty days with her husband's relatives through
her husband's will and testament so that she will complete the
period of one year (of 'Iddah). But the widow has the right to
stay that extra period or go out of her husband's house as is
indicated by the statement of Allah: 'But if they leave there
is no blame on you,... ' (2.240) Ibn `Abbas said: The above
Verse has cancelled the order of spending the period of the
'Iddah at her late husband's house, and so she could spend her
period of the 'Iddah wherever she likes. And Allah says:
'Without turning them out.' 'Ata said: If she would, she could
spend her period of the 'Iddah at her husband's house, and
live there according to her (husband's) will and testament,
and if she would, she could go out (of her husband's house) as
Allah says: 'There is no blame on you for what they do of
themselves.' (2.240) 'Ata added: Then the Verses of
inheritance were revealed and the order of residence (for the
widow) was cancelled, and she could spend her period of the
'Iddah wherever she would like, and she was no longer entitled
to be accommodated by her husband's family.

Bani 'Ajlan (when the husband accused his wife for an illegal
sexual intercourse). The Prophet said, 'Allah knows that one
of you two IS a liar; so will one of you repent?' But they
refused. He then again said, 'Allah knows that one of you two
is a liar; so will one of you repent?' But they refused,
whereupon he separated them by divorce." Aiyub (a
sub−narrator) said: `Amr bin Dinar said to me, "In the
narration there is something which I do not see you
mentioning, i.e. the husband said, "What about my money
(Mahr)?' The Prophet said, "You are not entitled to take back
money, for if you told the truth you have already entered upon
her (and consummated your marriage with her) and if you are a
liar then you are less entitled to take it back.
7.262:

have told the truth, the Mahr that you paid, was for having
sexual relations with her lawfully; and if you are a liar,
then you are less entitled to get it back."

Allah's Cause?" He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said,
"No." I said, "One third of it?" He said, "One−third (is
alright), yet it is still too much, for you'd better leave
your inheritors wealthy than leave them poor, begging of
others. Whatever you spend will be considered a Sadaqa for
you, even the mouthful of food you put in the mouth of your
wife. Anyhow Allah may let you recover, so that some people
may benefit by you and others be harmed by you."

food and enjoy my service." A son says, "Give me food; to whom

hear that from Allah's Apostle ?" He said, "No, it is from my
own self." 7.269:

Narrated Malik bin Aus bin Al−Hadathan: Once I set out to
visit `Umar (bin Al−Khattab). (While I was sitting there with
him his gate−keeper, Yarfa, came and said, "Uthman
`AbdurRahman (bin `Auf), Az−Zubair and Sa`d (bin Abi Waqqas)
are seeking permission (to meet you)." `Umar said, "Yes. So he
admitted them and they entered, greeted, and sat down. After a
short while Yarfa came again and said to `Umar 'Shall I admit
`Ali and `Abbas?" `Umar said, "Yes." He admitted them and when
they entered, they greeted and sat down. `Abbas said, "O Chief
of the Believers! Judge between me and this (`Ali)." The
group, `Uthman and his companions Sa`d, 'O Chief of the
Believers! Judge between them and relieve one from the other."
`Umar said. Wait! I beseech you by Allah, by Whose permission
both the Heaven and the Earth stand fast ! Do you know that
Allah's Apostle said. 'We (Apostles) do not bequeath anything
to our heirs, but whatever we leave is to be given in
charity.' And by that Allah's Apostles meant himself?" The
group said, "He did say so." `Umar then turned towards 'All
and `Abbas and said. "I beseech you both by Allah, do you know
that Allah's Apostle said that?" They said, 'Yes " `Umar said,
"Now, let me talk to you about this matter. Allah favored His
Apostle with something of this property (war booty) which He
did not give to anybody else. And Allah said:−− 'And what
Allah has bestowed on His Apostle (as Fai Booty) from them for
which you made no expedition with either cavalry or camelry .
. . Allah is Able to do all things.' (59.6) So this property
was especially granted to Allah's Apostle. But by Allah he
neither withheld it from you, nor did he keep it for himself
and deprive you of it, but he gave it all to you and
distributed it among you till only this remained out of it.
And out of this property Allah's Apostle used to provide his
family with their yearly needs, and whatever remained, he
would spend where Allah's Property (the revenues of Zakat)
used to be spent. Allah's Apostle kept on acting like this
throughout his lifetime. Now I beseech you by Allah, do you
know that?" They said, "Yes." Then `Umar said to `Ali and
`Abbas, "I beseech you by Allah, do you both know that?" They
said, "Yes." `Umar added, "When Allah had taken His Apostle
unto Him, Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of Allah's
Apostle. So he took charge of that property and did with it
the same what Allah's Apostle used to do, and both of you knew
all about it then." Then `Umar turned towards `Ali and `Abbas
and said, "You both claim that Abu− Bakr was so−and−so! But
Allah knows that he was honest, sincere, pious and right (in
that matter). Then Allah caused Abu Bakr to die, and I said,
'I am the successor of Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr.' So I
kept this property in my possession for the first two years of
my rule, and I used to do the same with it as Allah's Apostle
and Abu Bakr used to do. Later both of you (`Ali and `Abbas)
came to me with the same claim and the same problem. (O
`Abbas!) You came to me demanding your share from (the
inheritance of) the son of your brother, and he (`Ali) came to
me demanding his wives share from (the inheritance of) her
father. So I said to you, 'If you wish I will hand over this
property to you, on condition that you both promise me before
Allah that you will manage it in the same way as Allah's
Apostle and Abu Bakr did, and as I have done since the
beginning of my rule; otherwise you should not speak to me
about it.' So you both said, 'Hand over this property to us on
this condition.' And on this condition I handed it over to
you. I beseech you by Allah, did I hand it over to them on
that condition?" The group said, "Yes." `Umar then faced `Ali
and `Abbas and said, "I beseech you both by Allah, did I hand
it over to you both on that condition?" They both said, "Yes."
`Umar added, "Do you want me now to give a decision other than
that? By Him with Whose permission (order) both the Heaven and
the Earth stand fast, I will never give any decision other
than that till the Hour is established! But if you are unable
to manage it (that property), then return it to me and I will
be sufficient for it on your behalf . "
7.272:
Narrated `Aisha:
Hind bint `Utba came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Abu Sufyan

the stone hand−mill on her hand. She heard that the Prophet

the Prophet came, `Aisha informed him about that. `Ali added,
"So the Prophet came to us when we had gone to bed. We wanted
to get up (on his arrival) but he said, 'Stay where you are."
Then he came and sat between me and her and I felt the
coldness of his feet on my `Abdomen. He said, "Shall I direct
you to something better than what you have requested? When you
go to bed say 'Subhan Allah' thirty−three times, 'Al hamduli
l−lah' thirty three times, and Allahu Akbar' thirty four
times, for that is better for you than a servant."
7.275:
Narrated `Ali bin Abi Talib: Fatima came to the Prophet asking
for a servant. He said, "May I inform you of something better
than that? When you go to bed, recite "Subhan Allah' thirty
three times, 'Al hamduli l−lah' thirty three times, and
'Allahu Akbar' thirty four times. 'All added, 'I have never
failed to recite it ever since." Somebody asked, "Even on the
night of the battle of Siffin?" He said, "No, even on the
night of the battle of Siffin."
7.276:
Narrated Al−Aswad bin Yazid: I asked `Aisha "What did the

Narrated `Aisha:
Hind bint `Utba said, "O Allah's Apostle! Abu Sufyan is a

children, and the amount should be just and reasonable.

or a matron?" I replied, "A matron." he said, "Why not a
virgin, so that you might play with her and she with you, and
you might amuse her and she amuse you." I said, " `Abdullah
(my father) died and left girls, and I dislike to marry a girl
like them, so I married a lady (matron) so that she may look
after them." On that he said, "May Allah bless you," or "That
is good."
7.281:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to the Prophet and said, "I
am ruined!" The Prophet said, "Why?" He said, "I had sexual

expiation)." He replied, "I cannot afford that." The Prophet
said, "Then fast for two successive months." He said, "I
cannot." The Prophet said, "Then feed sixty poor persons." He
said, "I have nothing to do that." In the meantime a basket
full of dates was brought to the Prophet . He said, "Where is
the questioner." The man said, "I am here." The Prophet said
(to him), "Give this (basket of dates) in charity (as
expiation)." He said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I give it to
poorer people than us? By Him Who sent you with the Truth,
there is no family between Medina's two mountains poorer than
us." The Prophet smiled till his pre−molar teeth became
visible. He then said, "Then take it."
7.282:
Narrated Um Salama: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I get a
reward (in the Hereafter) if I spend on the children of Abu
Salama and do not leave them like this and like this (i.e.,
poor) but treat them like my children?" The Prophet said,
"Yes, you will be rewarded for that which you will spend on
them."
7.283:
Narrated `Aisha :
Hind (bint `Utba) said, "O Allah's Apostle! Abu Sufyan is a

(according to your needs) in a reasonable manner." 7.284:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A dead man in debt used to be brought to
Allah's Apostle who would ask, "Has he left anything to re pay
his debts?" If he was informed that he had left something to
cover his debts the Prophet would offer the funeral prayer for
him; otherwise he would say to the Muslims present there),
"Offer the funeral prayer for your friend:"but when Allah
helped the Prophet to gain victory (on his expeditions), he
said, "I am closer to the Believers than themselves, so. if
one of the Believers dies in debt, I will repay it, but if he
leaves wealth, it will be for his heirs.
7.285:
Narrated Um Habiba: (the wife of the Prophet) I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Will you marry my sister, the daughter of Abu
Sufyan." The Prophet said, "Do you like that?" I said, "Yes,
for I am not your only wife, and the person I like most to
share the good with me, is my sister." He said, "That is not
lawful for me." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We have heard that
you want to marry Durra, the daughter of Abu Salama." He said,
"You mean the daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"Even if she were not my step−daughter, she is unlawful for
me, for she is my foster niece. Thuwaiba suckled me and Abu

sisters." Narrated 'Ursa: Thuwaiba had been a slave girl whom

and) after walking for a short distance, I fell on my face
because of fatigue and severe hunger. Suddenly I saw Allah's
Apostle standing by my head. He said, "O Abu Huraira!" I
replied, "Labbaik, O Allah's Apostle, and Sadaik!" Then he
held me by the hand, and made me get up. Then he came to know
what I was suffering from. He took me to his house, and
ordered a big bowl of milk for me. I drank thereof and he
said, "Drink more, O Abu Hirr!" So I drank again, whereupon he
again said, "Drink more." So I drank more till my belly became
full and looked like a bowl. Afterwards I met `Umar and
mentioned to him what had happened to me, and said to him,
"Somebody, who had more right than you, O `Umar, took over the
case. By Allah, I asked you to recite a Verse to me while I
knew it better than you." On that `Umar said to me, "By Allah,
if I admitted and entertained you, it would have been dearer
to me than having nice red camels.

face−covering sheet and wrapped the bread in part of it, and
pushed it under my garment and turned the rest of it around my
body and sent me to Allah's Apostle . I went with that, and
found Allah's Apostle in the mosque with some people. I stood
up near them, and Allah's Apostle asked me, "Have you been
sent by Abu Talha?" I said, "Yes." He asked, "With some food
(for us)?" I said, "Yes." Then Allah's Apostle said to all
those who were with him, "Get up!" He set out (and all the
people accompanied him) and I proceeded ahead of them till I
came to Abu Talha. Abu Talha then said, "O Um Sulaim! Allah's
Apostle has arrived along with the people, and we do not have
food enough to feed them all." She said, "Allah and His
Apostle know better." So Abu Talha went out till he met
Allah's Apostle. Then Abu Talha and Allah's Apostle came and
entered the house. Allah's Apostle said, "Um Sulaim ! Bring
whatever you have." She brought that very bread. The Prophet
ordered that it be crushed into small pieces, and Um Sulaim
pressed a skin of butter on it. Then Allah's Apostle said
whatever Allah wished him to say (to bless the food) and then
added, "Admit ten (men)." So they were admitted, ate their
fill and went out. The Prophet then said, "Admit ten (more)."
They were admitted, ate their full, and went out. He then
again said, "Admit ten more!" They were admitted, ate their
fill, and went out. He admitted ten more, and so all those
people ate their fill, and they were eighty men.

then. After a while a tall lanky pagan came, driving some
sheep. The Prophet asked, 'Will you sell us (a sheep), or give
(it to) us as a gift?" The pagan said, "No, but I will sell it
" So the Prophet bought from him a sheep which was
slaughtered, and then the Prophet ordered that the liver, the
kidneys, lungs and heart, etc., of that sheep be roasted. By
Allah, none of those one hundred and thirty men but had his
share of those things. The Prophet gave to those who were

Apostle! It is the meat of a mastigure." (On learning that)

mastigure. Khalid bin Al−Walid said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is
this unlawful to eat?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but it is

Narrated 'Urban bin Malik: who attended the Badr battle and
was from the Ansar, that he came to the Prophet and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I have lost my eyesight and I lead my people
in the prayer (as an Imam). When it rains, the valley which is
between me and my people, flows with water, and then I cannot
go to their mosque to lead them in the prayer. O Allah's
Apostle! I wish that you could come and pray in my house so
that I may take it as a praying place. The Prophet said,
"Allah willing, I will do that." The next morning, soon after
the sun had risen, Allah's Apostle came with Abu Bakr. The
Prophet asked for the permission to enter and I admitted him.
The Prophet had not sat till he had entered the house and said
to me, "Where do you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed
at a place in my house whereupon he stood and said, "Allahu
Akbar." We lined behind him and he prayed two rak`at and
finished it with Taslim. We then requested him to stay for a
special meal of Khazira which we had prepared. A large number
of men from the adjoining area gathered in the house. One of
them said, "Where is Malik bin Ad−Dukhshun?" Another man said,
"He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle."
The Prophet said, "Do not say so. Do you not think that he has
said: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah," seeking
Allah's pleasure? The man said, "Allah and His Apostle know
better, but we have always seen him mixing with hypocrites and
giving them advice." The Prophet said, "Allah has forbidden
the (Hell) Fire for those who testify that none has the right
to be worshipped but Allah, seeking Allah's pleasure. "

only.

there was an old lady who used to pull out the roots of Silq
and put it in a cooking pot with some barley. When we had
finished the prayer, we would visit her and she would present
that dish before us. So we used to be happy on Fridays because

nap except after the Friday prayer. By Allah, that meal
contained no fat.

Inform me of the onager but they wished that I would see it
Suddenly I looked and saw the onager Then I headed towards my
horse, saddled it and rode, but I forgot to take the lash and
the spear. So I said to them my companions), "Give me the lash
and the spear." But they said, "No, by Allah we will not help
you in any way to hunt it ' I got angry, dismounted, took it
the spear and the lash), rode (the horse chased the onager and
wounded it Then I brought it when it had dyed. My companions
started eating of its (cooked) meat, but they suspected that
it might be unlawful to eat of its meat while they were in a
state of Ihram Then I proceeded further and I kept one of its
forelegs with me. When we met Allah's Apostle we asked him
about that. He said, "Have you some of its meat with you?" I
gave him that foreleg and he ate the meat till he stripped the
bone of its flesh although he was in a state of Ihram.

poor. But later we used to store even a trotter of a sheep to
eat it fifteen days later." She was asked, "What compelled you
to do so?" She smiled and said, "The family of Muhammad did
not eat to their satisfaction white bread with meat soup for
three successive days till he met Allah."

(to stay somewhere). I used to hear him saying very often, "O
Allah! I seek refuge with You from, having worries sadness,
helplessness, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, from being
heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other persons
unjustly." I kept on serving till we −returned from the battle
of Khaibar. The Prophet then brought Safiyya bint Huyai whom
he had won from the war booty. I saw him folding up a gown or
a garment for her to sit on behind him (on his she−camel).
When he reached As−Sahba', he prepared Hais and placed it on a
dining sheet. Then he sent me to invite men, who (came and)
ate; and that was his and Safiyya's wedding banquet. Then the
Prophet proceeded, and when he saw (noticed) the mountain of
Uhud, he said, "This mountain loves us, and we love it." When

between its two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham has made
Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless their Mudd and Sa (special
kinds of measure).

once or twice?" He wanted to say, "I would not have done so,"
adding, "but I heard the Prophet saying, "Do not wear silk or

established because of Barira: `Aisha intended to buy her and
set her free, but Barira's masters said, "Her wala' will be
for us." `Aisha mentioned that to Allah's Apostle who said,
"You could accept their condition if you wished, for the wala
is for the one who manumits the slave." Barira was manumitted,
then she was given the choice either to stay with her husband
or leave him; One day Allah's Apostle entered `Aisha's house
while there was a cooking pot of food boiling on the fire. The
Prophet asked for lunch, and he was presented with bread and
some extra food from the home−made Udm (e.g. soup). He asked,
"Don't I see meat (being cooked)?" They said, "Yes, O Allah's

charity and she has given it to us as a present." He said,

to recite a Qur'anic Verse for me though I knew it, so that he
might take me to his house and feed me. Ja`far bin Abi Talib
was very kind to the poor, and he used to take us and feed us
with what ever was available in his house, (and if nothing was
available), he used to give us the empty (honey or butter)
skin which we would tear and lick whatever was in it. 7.344:

four other men, but another man followed them whereupon the
Prophet said, "You have invited me as one of five guests, but
now another man has followed us. If you wish you can admit
him, and if you wish you can refuse him." On that the host
said, "But I admit him." Narrated Muhammad bin Isma`il: If
guests are sitting at a dining table, they do not have the
right to carry food from other tables to theirs, but they can

used to lend me money up to the season of plucking dates.
(Jabir had a piece of land which was on the way to Ruma). That
year the land was not promising, so the payment of the debt
was delayed one year. The Jew came to me at the time of
plucking, but gathered nothing from my land. I asked him to
give me one year respite, but he refused. This news reached
the Prophet whereupon he said to his companions, "Let us go
and ask the Jew for respite for Jabir." All of them came to me
in my garden, and the Prophet started speaking to the Jew, but
he Jew said, "O Abu Qasim! I will not grant him respite." When
the Prophet saw the Jew's attitude, he stood up and walked all
around the garden and came again and talked to the Jew, but
the Jew refused his request. I got up and brought some ripe
fresh dates and put it in front of the Prophet. He ate and
then said to me, "Where is your hut, O Jabir?" I informed him,
and he said, "Spread out a bed for me in it." I spread out a
bed, and he entered and slept. When he woke up, I brought some
dates to him again and he ate of it and then got up and talked
to the Jew again, but the Jew again refused his request. Then
the Prophet got up for the second time amidst the palm trees
loaded with fresh dates, and said, "O Jabir! Pluck dates to
repay your debt." The Jew remained with me while I was
plucking the dates, till I paid him all his right, yet there
remained extra quantity of dates. So I went out and proceeded
till I reached the Prophet and informed him of the good news,
whereupon he said, "I testify that I am Allah's Apostle."

invited him, whereupon he said, "And those who are with me?' I
returned and said, "He says, 'And those who are with me?" Abu
Talha went out to him and said, "O Allah's Apostle! It is just
a meal prepared by Um Sulaim." The Prophet entered and the
food was brought to him. He said, "Let ten persons enter upon
me." Those ten entered and ate their fill. Again he said, 'Let
ten (more) enter upon me." Those ten entered and ate their

their places. So he went back again for the second time, and I
went along with him too. When we reached the door of `Aisha's

and put his saliva in the mouth of the child. So the first
thing to enter its stomach was the saliva of Allah's Apostle.
Then he did its Tahnik with a date, and invoked Allah to bless
him. It was the first child born in the Islamic era, therefore
they (Muslims) were very happy with its birth, for it had been
said to them that the Jews had bewitched them, and so they
would not produce any offspring. 7.379.1:

the child (as he's dead)." Next morning Abu Talha came to
Allah's Apostle and told him about that. The Prophet said (to
him), "Did you sleep with your wife last night?" Abu Talha
said, "Yes". The Prophet said, "O Allah! Bestow your blessing
on them as regards that night of theirs." Um Sulaim gave birth
to a boy. Abu Talha told me to take care of the child till it
was taken to the Prophet. Then Abu Talha took the child to the
Prophet and Um Sulaim sent some dates along with the child.
The Prophet took the child (on his lap) and asked if there was
something with him. The people replied, "Yes, a few dates."
The Prophet took a date, chewed it, took some of it out of his
mouth, put it into the child's mouth and did Tahnik for him
with that, and named him `Abdullah.

Narrated Salman bin 'Amir Ad−Dabbi: I heard Allah's Apostle
saying, "'Aqiqa is to be offered for a (newly born) boy, so
slaughter (an animal) for him, and relieve him of his
suffering." (Note: It has been quoted in Fath−ul−Bari that the
majority of the Religious Scholars agrees to the Hadith
narrated in Sahih at−TlRMlZY that the Prophet was asked about
Aqiqa and he ordered 2 sheep for a boy and one sheep for a
girl and that is his tradition "SUNNA".)
7.381:
Narrated Habib bin Ash−Shahid: Ibn Seereen told me to ask
Al−Hassan from whom he had heard the narration of 'Aqiqa. I
asked him and he said, "From Samura bin Jundab."
7.382:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Neither Fara' nor
'Atira (is permissible):" Al−Fara' nor 'Atira (is

their idols. And Al−`Atira was (a sheep which was to be
slaughtered) during the month of Rajab.
7.383:

Bk. 67: Hunting, Slaughtering
7.384:
Narrated Adi bin Hatim: I asked the Prophet about the game
killed by a Mi'rad (i.e. a sharp−edged piece of wood or a
piece of wood provided with a sharp piece of iron used for
hunting). He said, "If the game is killed with its sharp edge,
eat of it, but if it is killed with its shaft, with a hit by
its broad side then the game is (unlawful to eat) for it has
been beaten to death." I asked him about the game killed by a
trained hound. He said, "If the hound catches the game for
you, eat of it, for killing the game by the hound, is like its
slaughtering. But if you see with your hound or hounds another
dog, and you are afraid that it might have shared in hunting
the game with your hound and killed it, then you should not
eat of it, because you have mentioned Allah's name on
(sending) your hound only, but you have not mentioned it on
some other hound.
7.385:
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: I asked Allah's Apostle about the
Mi'rad. He said, "If you hit the game with its sharp edge, eat
it, but if the Mi'rad hits the game with its shaft with a hit
by its broad side do not eat it, for it has been beaten to
death with a piece of wood. (i.e. unlawful)." I asked, "If I
let loose my trained hound after a game?" He said, "If you let
loose your trained hound after game, and mention the name of
Allah, then you can eat." I said, "If the hound eats of the
game?" He said "Then you should not eat of it, for the hound
has hunted the game for itself and not for you." I said, "Some
times I send my hound and then I find some other hound with
it?" He said "Don't eat the game, as you have mentioned the
Name of Allah on your dog only and not on the other."
7.386:
Narrated Adi bin Hatim: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We let
loose our trained hounds after a game?" He said, "Eat what
they hunt for you." I said, "Even if they killed (the game)?"
He replied, 'Even if they killed (the game)." I said, 'We also
hit (the game) with the Mi'rad?" He said, "Eat of the animal
which the Mi'rad kills by piercing its body, but do not eat of
the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi'rad.''
7.387:
Narrated Abu Tha`laba Al−Khushani: I said, "O Allah's Prophet!
We are living in a land ruled by the people of the Scripture;
Can we take our meals in their utensils? In that land there is
plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow and with my
hound that is not trained and with my trained hound. Then what
is lawful for me to eat?" He said, "As for what you have
mentioned about the people of the Scripture, if you can get
utensils other than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if
you cannot get other than theirs, wash their utensils and eat
out of it. If you hunt an animal with your bow after
mentioning Allah's Name, eat of it. and if you hunt something
with your trained hound after mentioning Allah's Name, eat of
it, and if you hunt something with your untrained hound (and
get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it." 7.388:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Maghaffal: that he saw a man throwing
stones with two fingers (at something) and said to him, "Do
not throw stones, for Allah's Apostle has forbidden throwing
stones, or e used to dislike it." `Abdullah added: Throwing
stones will neither hunt the game, nor kill (or hurt) an
enemy, but it may break a tooth or gouge out an eye."
Afterwards `Abdullah once again saw the man throwing stones.
He said to him, "I tell you that Allah's Apostle has forbidden
or disliked the throwing the stones (in such a way), yet you
are throwing stones! I shall not talk to you for such−and−such
a period." 7.389:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet said, "Whoever keeps a (pet)
dog which is neither a watch dog nor a hunting dog, will get a
daily deduction of two Qirat from his good deeds."
7.390:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: I heard the Prophet saying, "If
someone keeps a dog neither for hunting, nor for guarding
livestock, the reward (for his good deeds) will be reduced by
two Qirats per day."
7.391:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "If
someone keeps a dog neither for guarding livestock, nor for
hunting, his good deeds will decrease (in reward) by two
Qirats a day.'
7.392:
Narrated Adi bin Hatim: I asked Allah's Apostle. "We hunt with
the help of these hounds." He said, "If you let loose your
trained hounds after a game, and mention the name of Allah,
then you can eat what the hounds catch for you, even if they
killed the game. But you should not eat of it if the hound has
eaten of it, for then it is likely that the hound has caught
the game for itself. And if other hounds join your hound in
hunting the game, then do not eat of it."
7.393:
Narrated Adi bin Hatim: The Prophet said, "If you let loose
your hound after a game and mention Allah's Name on sending
it, and the hound catches the game and kills it, then you can
eat of it. But if the hound eats of it, then you should not
eat thereof, for the hound has caught it for itself. And if
along with your hound, join other hounds, and Allah's Name was
not mentioned at the time of their sending, and they catch an
animal and kill it, you should not ea: of it, for you will not
know which of them has killed it. And if you have thrown an
arrow at the game and then find it (dead) two or three days
later and, it bears no mark other than the wound inflicted by
your arrow, then you can eat of it. But if the game is found
(dead) in water, then do not eat of it." And it has also been
narrated by `Adi bin Hatim that he asked the Prophet "If a
hunter throws an arrow at the game and after tracing it for
two or three days he finds it dead but still bearing his
arrow, (can he eat of it)?" The Prophet replied, "He can eat
if he wishes."
7.394:
Narrated `Adi bin Hatim: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I let
loose my hound after a game and mention Allah's Name on
sending it." The Prophet said, "If you let loose your hound
after a game and you mention Allah's Name on sending it and
the hound catches and kills the game and eats of it, then you
should not eat of it, for it has killed it for itself." I
said, "Sometimes when I send my hound after a game, I find
another hound along with it and I do not know which of them
has caught the game." He said, "You must not eat of it because
you have not mentioned, the Name of Allah except on sending
your own hound, and you did not mention it on the other
hound." Then I asked him about the game hunted with a Mi'rad
(i.e. a sharp edged piece of wood or a piece of wood provided
with a sharp piece of iron used for hunting). He said, "If the
game is killed with its sharp edge, you can eat of it, but if
it is killed by its broad side (shaft), you cannot eat of it,
for then it is like an animal beaten to death with a piece of
wood."
7.395:
Narrated Adi Bin Hatim: I asked Allah's Apostle, "We hunt with
these hounds." He said, "If you send your trained hounds after
a game and mention Allah's Name on sending, you can eat of
what they catch for you. But if the hound eats of the game,
then you must not eat of it, for I am afraid that the hound
caught it for itself, and if another hound joins your hounds
(during the hunt), you should not eat of the game."
7.396:
Narrated Abu Tha`laba Al−Khushani: I came to Allah's Apostle
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are living in the land of the
people of the Scripture and we take our meals in their
utensils, and in the land there is game and I hunt with my bow
and trained or untrained hounds; please tell me what is lawful
for us of that." He said, "As for your saying that you are
living in the land of the people of the Scripture and that you
eat in their utensils, if you can get utensils other than
theirs, do not eat in their utensils, but if you do not find
(other than theirs), then wash their utensils and eat in them.
As for your saying that you are in the land of game, if you
hung something with your bow, and have mentioned Allah's Name
while hunting, then you can eat (the game). And if you hunt
something with your trained hound, and have mentioned Allah's
Name on sending it for hunting then you can eat (the game).
But if you hunt something with your untrained hound and you
were able to slaughter it before its death, you can eat of
it."
7.397:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: We provoked a rabbit at Marr
Az−Zahran till it started jumping. My companions chased it
till they got tired. But I alone ran after it and caught it
and brought it to Abu Talha. He sent both its legs to the
Prophet who accepted them.
7.398:
Narrated Abu Qatada: that once he was with Allah's Apostle (on
the way to Mecca). When he had covered some of the way to
Mecca, he and some companions of his, who were in the state of
lhram. remained behind the Prophet while Abu Qatada himself
was not in the state of Ihram. Abu Qatada, seeing an onager
rode his horse and asked his companions to hand him a whip,
but they refused. He then asked them to hand him his spear,
but they refused. Then he took it himself and attacked the
onager and killed it. Some of the Companions of Allah's
Apostle ate of it, but some others refused to eat. When they
met Allah's Apostle they asked him about that. He said, "It
was meal given to you by Allah."
7.399:
Narrated Abu Qatada: (the same Hadith above, but he added);
The Prophet asked, "Is there any of its meat left with you?"
7.400:
Narrated Abu Qatada: I was with the Prophet (on a journey)
between Mecca and Medina, and all of them, (i.e. the Prophet
and his companions) were in the state of Ihram, while I was
not in that state. I was riding my horse and I used to be fond
of ascending mountains. So while I was doing so I noticed that
the people were looking at something. I went to see what it
was, and behold it was an onager. I asked my companions, "What
is that?" They said, "We do not know." I said, "It is an
onager.' They said, "It is what you have seen." I had left my
whip, so I said to them, "Hand to me my whip." They said, "We
will not help you in that (in hunting the onager)." I got
down, took my whip and chased the animal (on my horse) and did
not stop till I killed it. I went to them and said, "Come on,
carry it!" But they said, "We will not even touch it." At last
I alone carried it and brought it to them. Some of them ate of
it and some refused to eat of it. I said (to them), "I will
ask the Prophet about it (on your behalf)." When I met the
Prophet, I told him the whole story. He said to me, "Has
anything of it been left with you?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"Eat, for it is a meal Allah has offered to you."
7.401:
Narrated Jabir:
We went out in a campaign and the army was called The Army of
the Khabt, and Abu 'Ubaida was our commander. We were struck
with severe hunger. Then the sea threw a huge dead fish called
Al−`Anbar, the like of which had never been seen. We ate of it
for half a month, and then Abu 'Ubaida took one of its bones
(and made an arch of it) so that a rider could easily pass
under it.
7.402:
Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet sent us as an army unit of three hundred warriors
under the command of Abu 'Ubaida to ambush a caravan of the
Quraish. But we were struck with such severe hunger that we
ate the Khabt (desert bushes), so our army was called the Army
of the Khabt. Then the sea threw a huge fish called Al−`Anbar
and we ate of it for half a month and rubbed our bodies with
its fat till our bodies became healthy. Then Abu Ubaida took
one of its ribs and fixed it over the ground and a rider
passed underneath it. There was a man amongst us who
slaughtered three camels when hunger became severe, and he
slaughtered three more, but after that Abu 'Ubaida forbade him
to do so.

said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are living in the land of the
people of the Scripture, and we take our meals in their
utensils, and there is game in that land and I hunt with my
bow and with my trained hound and with my untrained hound."
The Prophet said, "As for your saying that you are in the land
of people of the Scripture, you should not eat in their
utensils unless you find no alternative, in which case you
must wash the utensils and then eat in them As for your saying
that you are in the land of game, if you hunt something with
your bow, mention Allah's Name (while hunting the game) and
eat; and if you hunt something with your trained hound,
mention Allah's Name on sending and eat; and if you hunt
something with your untrained hound and get it alive,
slaughter it and you can eat of it."
7.405:
Narrated Salama bin Al−Aqwa': In the evening of the day of the
conquest of Khaibar, the army made fires (for cooking). The
Prophet said, "For what have you made these fires?" They said,
"For cooking the meat of domestic donkeys." He said, "Throw
away what is in the cooking pots and break the pots." A man
from the people got up and said, "Shall we throw the contents
of the cooking pots and then wash the pots (instead of
breaking them)?" The Prophet said, "Yes, you can do either.'
7.406:
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij: We were with the Prophet in
Dhul−Hulaifa and there the people were struck with severe
hunger. Then we got camels and sheep as war booty (and
slaughtered them). The Prophet was behind all the people. The
people hurried and fixed the cooking pots (for cooking) but
the Prophet came there and ordered that the cooking pots be
turned upside down. Then he distributed the animals, regarding
ten sheep as equal to one camel. One of the camels ran away
and there were a few horses with the people. They chased the
camel but they got tired, whereupon a man shot it with an
arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet said, "Among these
animals some are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them
runs away from you, treat it in this way." I said. "We hope,
or we are afraid that tomorrow we will meet the enemy and we
have no knives, shall we slaughter (our animals) with canes?"
The Prophet said, "If the killing tool causes blood to gush
out and if Allah's Name is mentioned, eat (of the slaughterer
animal). But do not slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I am
telling you why: A tooth is a bone, and the nail is the knife
of Ethiopians." 7.407:
Narrated `Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said that he met Zaid bin
`Amr Nufail at a place near Baldah and this had happened
before Allah's Apostle received the Divine Inspiration.
Allah's Apostle presented a dish of meat (that had been
offered to him by the pagans) to Zaid bin `Amr, but Zaid
refused to eat of it and then said (to the pagans), "I do not
eat of what you slaughter on your stonealtars (Ansabs) nor do
I eat except that on which Allah's Name has been mentioned on
slaughtering."
7.408:
Narrated Jundub bin Sufyan Al−Bajali: Once during the lifetime
of Allah's Apostle we offered some animals as sacrifices. Some
people slaughtered their sacrifices before the (Id) prayer, so
when the Prophet finished his prayer, he saw that they had
slaughtered their sacrifices before the prayer. He said,
"Whoever has slaughtered (his sacrifice) before the prayer,
should slaughter (another sacrifice) in lieu of it; and
whoever has not yet slaughtered it till we have prayed; should
slaughter (it) by mentioning Allah's Name."
7.409:
Narrated Ka`b:
that a slave girl of theirs used to shepherd some sheep at
Si'a (a mountain near Medina). On seeing one of her sheep
dying, she broke a stone and slaughtered it. Ka`b said to his
family, "Do not eat (of it) till I go to the Prophet and ask
him, or, till I send someone to ask him." So he went to the
Prophet or sent someone to him The Prophet permitted (them) to
eat it.
7.410:
Narrated `Abdullah that Ka`b had a slave girl who used to
graze his sheep on a small mountain, called "Sl'a", situated

and slaughtered it with it. When they mentioned that to the
Prophet, he, permitted them to eat it.
7.411:
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij: that he said, "O Allah's Apostle!
We have no knife." The Prophet said, "if the killing tool
causes blood to gush out, and if Allah's Name is mentioned,
eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not slaughter with a
nail or a tooth, for the nail is the knife of Ethiopians and a
tooth is a bone." Suddenly a camel ran away and it was stopped
(with an arrow). The Prophet then said, "Of these camels there
are some which are as wild as wild beasts; so if one of them
runs away from you and you cannot catch it, treat it in this
manner (i.e. shoot it with an arrow).

recently.
7.416:

7.417:
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are
going to face the enemy tomorrow and we do not have knives."
He said, "Hurry up (in killing the animal). If the killing
tool causes blood to flow out, and if Allah's Name is
mentioned, eat (of the slaughtered animal). But do not
slaughter with a tooth or a nail. I will tell you why: As for
the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the knife
of Ethiopians." Then we got some camels and sheep as war
booty, and one of those camels ran away, whereupon a man shot
it with an arrow and stopped it. Allah's Apostle said, "Of
these camels there are some which are as wild as wild beasts,

was presented with a dish containing chicken. Among the people
there was sitting a red−faced man who did not come near the
food. Abu Musa said (to him), "Come on (and eat), for I have
seen Allah's Apostle eating of it (i.e. chicken)." He said, "I
have seen it eating something (dirty) and since then I have
disliked it, and have taken an oath that I shall not eat it '
Abu Musa said, "Come on, I will tell you (or narrate to you).
Once I went to Allah s Apostle with a group of Al−Ash`ariyin,
and met him while he was angry, distributing some camels of
rak`at. We asked for mounts but he took an oath that he would
not give us any mounts, and added, 'I have nothing to mount
you on' In the meantime some camels of booty were brought to
Allah's Apostle and he asked twice, 'Where are Al−Ash`ariyin?"
So he gave us five white camels with big humps. We stayed for
a short while (after we had covered a little distance), and
then I said to my companions, "Allah's Apostle has forgotten
his oath. By Allah, if we do not remind Allah's Apostle of his
oath, we will never be successful." So we returned to the
Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We asked you for mounts,
but you took an oath that you would not give us any mounts; we
think that you have forgotten your oath.' He said, 'It is
Allah Who has given you mounts. By Allah, and Allah willing,
if I take an oath and later find something else better than
that. then I do what is better and expiate my oath.' "

Narrated Khalid bin Al−Walid: Allah's Apostle and I entered
the house of Maimuna. A roasted mastigure was served. Allah's
Apostle stretched his hand out (to eat of it) but some woman
said, "Inform Allah's Apostle of what he is about to eat." So
they said, "It is mastigure, O Allah's Apostle!" He withdrew
his hand, whereupon I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is it
unlawful?" He said, "No, but this is not found in the land of
my people, so I dislike it." So I pulled the mastigure towards
me and ate it while Allah's Apostle was looking at me. 7.446:
Narrated Maimuna:
A mouse fell into the butter−fat and died. The Prophet was
asked about that. He said, "Throw away the mouse and the
butter−fat that surrounded it, and eat the rest of the
butter−fat (As−Samn).
7.447:
Narrated Az−Zhuri: regarding an animal, e.g., a mouse or some
other animal that had fallen into solid or liquid oil or
butter−fat: I had been informed that a mouse had died in
butter−fat whereupon Allah's Apostle ordered that the
butter−fat near it be thrown away and the rest of the
butter−fat can be eaten. 7.448:
Narrated Maimuna:
The Prophet was asked about a mouse that had fallen into
butter−fat (and died). He said, "Throw away the mouse and the
portion of butter−fat around it, and eat the rest."
7.449:
Narrated Salim:
that Ibn `Umar disliked the branding of animals on the face.
Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet forbade beating (animals) on the
face."
7.450:
Narrated Anas:
I brought a brother of mine to the Prophet to do Tahnik for
him while the Prophet was in a sheep fold of his, and I saw
him branding a sheep. (The sub−narrator said: I think Anas
said, branding it on the ear.)
7.451:
Narrated Rait' bin Khadij: I said to the Prophet, "We will be
facing the enemy tomorrow and we have no knives (for
slaughtering)' He said, "If you slaughter the animal with
anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if Allah's
Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it, unless the
killing instrument is a tooth or nail. I will tell you why: As
for the tooth, it is a bone; and as for the nail, it is the
knife of Ethiopians." The quick ones among the people got the
war booty while the Prophet was behind the people. So they
placed the cooking pots on the fire, but the Prophet ordered
the cooking pots to be turned upside down. Then he distributed
(the war booty) among them, considering one camel as equal to
ten sheep. Then a camel belonging to the first party of people
ran away and they had no horses with them, so a man shot it
with an arrow whereby Allah stopped it. The Prophet said, "Of
these animals there are some which are as wild as wild beasts.
So, if anyone of them runs away like this, do like this (shoot
it with an arrow).
7.452:
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij: While we were with the Prophet. on
a journey, one of the camels ran away. A man shot it with an
arrow and stopped it. The Prophet said, "Of these camels some
are as wild as wild beasts, so if one of them runs away and
you cannot catch it, then do like this (shoot it with an
arrow)." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Sometimes when we are in
battles or on a journey we want to slaughter (animals) but we
have no knives." He said, "Listen! If you slaughter the animal
with anything that causes its blood to flow out, and if
Allah's Name is mentioned on slaughtering it, eat of it,
provided that the slaughtering instrument is not a tooth or a
nail, as the tooth is a bone and the nail is the knife of
Ethiopians."
Bk. 68: Al−Adha Festival Sacrifice (Adaahi)
7.453:
Narrated Al−Bara:
The Prophet said (on the day of Idal−Adha), "The first thing
we will do on this day of ours, is to offer the (`Id) prayer
and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. Whoever does so,
he acted according to our Sunna (tradition), and whoever
slaughtered (the sacrifice) before the prayer, what he offered
was just meat he presented to his family, and that will not be
considered as Nusak (sacrifice)." (On hearing that) Abu Burda
bin Niyar got up, for he had slaughtered the sacrifice before
the prayer, and said, "I have got a six month old ram." The
Prophet said, 'Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not
be sufficient for any−one else (as a sacrifice after you).
Al−Bara' added: The Prophet said, "Whoever slaughtered (the
sacrifice) after the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right
time and followed the tradition of the Muslims."
7.454:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "Whoever
slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, he just
slaughtered it for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after
the prayer, he slaughtered it at the right time and followed
the tradition of the Muslims." 7.455:
Narrated `Uqba bin 'Amir Al−Juhani: that the Prophet
distributed among his companions some animals for sacrifice
(to be slaughtered on `Id−al−Adha). `Uqba's share was a
Jadha'a (a six month old goat). `Uqba said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I get in my share of Jadha'a (a six month old ram)."
The Prophet said, "Slaughter it as a sacrifice."
7.456:
Narrated `Aisha:
that the Prophet entered upon her when she had her menses at
Sarif before entering Mecca, and she was weeping (because she
was afraid that she would not be able to perform the Hajj).
The Prophet said, "What is wrong with you? Have you got your
period?" She said, "Yes." He said, "This is a matter Allah has
decreed for all the daughters of Adam, so perform all the
ceremonies of Hajj like the others, but do not perform the
Tawaf around the Ka`ba." `Aisha added: When we were at Mina,
beef was brought to me and I asked, "What is this?" They (the
people) said, "Allah's Apostle has slaughtered some cows as
sacrifices on behalf of his wives."
7.457:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said on the day of Nahr,
"Whoever has slaughtered his sacrifice before the prayer,
should repeat it (slaughter another sacrifice)." A man got up
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is a day on which meat is
desired." He then mentioned his neighbors saying, "I have a
six month old ram which is to me better than the meat of two
sheep." The Prophet allowed him to slaughter it as a
sacrifice, but I do not know whether this permission was valid
for other than that man or not. The Prophet then went towards
two rams and slaughtered them, and then the people went
towards some sheep and distributed them among themselves.
7.458:
Narrated Abu Bakra: The Prophet said, "Time has come back to
its original state which it had on the day Allah created the
Heavens and the Earth. The year is twelve months, four of
which are sacred, three of them are in succession, namely
Dhul−Qa'da, Dhul Hijja and Muharram, (the fourth being) Rajab
Mudar which is between Juma'da (ath−thamj and Sha'ban. The
Prophet then asked, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and
his Apostle know better." He kept silent so long that we
thought that he would call it by a name other than its real
name. He said, "Isn't it the month of Dhul−Hijja?" We said,
"Yes." He said, "Which town is this?" We said, "Allah and His
Apostle know better." He kept silent so long that we thought
that he would call it t,y a name other than its real name. He
said, "isn't it the town (of Mecca)?" We replied, "Yes." He
said, "What day is today?" We replied, "Allah and His Apostle
know better." He kept silent so long that we thought that he
would call it by a name other than its real name. He said,
"Isn't it the day of Nahr?" We replied, "Yes." He then said,
"Your blood, properties and honor are as sacred to one another
as this day of yours in this town of yours in this month of
yours. You will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your
deeds. Beware! Do not go astray after me by cutting the necks
of each other. It is incumbent upon those who are present to
convey this message to those who are absent, for some of those
to whom it is conveyed may comprehend it better than some of
those who have heard it directly." (Muhammad, the
sub−narrator, on mentioning this used to say: The Prophet then
said, "No doubt! Haven't I delivered (Allah's) Message (to
you)? Haven't I delivered Allah's message (to you)?"
7.459:
Narrated Nafi`:
`Abdullah (bin `Umar) used to slaughter his sacrifice at the

to distribute among his companions to slaughter as sacrifices
(`Id−−al−−Adha). A kid was left and he told the Prophet of
that whereupon he said to him, "Slaughter it as a sacrifice
(on your behalf).
7.463:
Narrated Al−Bara' bin `Azib: An uncle of mine called Abu
Burda, slaughtered his sacrifice before the `Id prayer. So
Allah's Apostle said to him, "Your (slaughtered) sheep was
just mutton (not a sacrifice)." Abu Burda said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have got a domestic kid." The Prophet said,
"Slaughter it (as a sacrifice) but it will not be permissible
for anybody other than you" The Prophet added, "Whoever
slaughtered his sacrifice before the (`Id) prayer, he only
slaughtered for himself, and whoever slaughtered it after the
prayer, he offered his sacrifice properly and followed the
tradition of the Muslims."
7.464:
Narrated Al−Bara': Abu Burda slaughtered (the sacrifice)
before the (`Id) prayer whereupon the Prophet said to him,
"Slaughter another sacrifice instead of that." Abu Burda said,
"I have nothing except a Jadha'a." (Shu`ba said: Perhaps Abu
Burda also said that Jadha'a was better than an old sheep in
his opinion.) The Prophet said, "(Never mind), slaughter it to
make up for the other one, but it will not be sufficient for
anyone else after you."
7.465:

period?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "This is a matter Allah
has decreed for all the daughters of Adam, so perform the
ceremonies of the Hajj as the pilgrims do, but do not perform
the Tawaf around the Ka`ba." Allah's Apostle slaughtered some
cows as sacrifices on behalf of his wives.
7.467:
Narrated Al−Bara': I heard the Prophet delivering a sermon,
and he said (on the Day of `Id−Allah. a), "The first thing we
will do on this day of ours is that we will offer the `Id
prayer, then we will return and slaughter our sacrifices; and
whoever does so, then indeed he has followed our tradition,
and whoever slaughtered his sacrifice (before the prayer),
what he offered was just meat that he presented to his family,
and that was not a sacrifice." Abu Burda got up and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer
and I have got a Jadha'a which is better than an old sheep."
The Prophet said, "Slaughter it to make up for that, but it
will not be sufficient for anybody else after you."
7.468:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before
the `Id prayer, should repeat it (slaughter another one)." A
man said "This is the day on which meat is desired." Then he
mentioned the need of his neighbors (for meat) and the Prophet
seemed to accept his excuse. The man said, "I have a Jadha'a
which is to me better than two sheep." The Prophet allowed him
(to slaughter it as a sacrifice). But I do not know whether
this permission was general for all Muslims or not. The
Prophet then went towards two rams and slaughtered them, and
the people went towards their sheep and slaughtered them.
7.469:
Narrated Jundab bin Sufyan Al−Bajali: I witnessed the Prophet
on the Day of Nahr. He said, "Whoever slaughtered the

another sacrifice in its place; and whoever has not
slaughtered their sacrifice yet, should slaughter now."
7.470:
Narrated Al−Bara': One day Allah's Apostle offered the `Id
prayer and said, "Whoever offers our prayer and faces our
Qibla should not slaughter the sacrifice till he finishes the
`Id prayer." Abu Burda bin Niyar got up and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! I have already done it. The Prophet said, "That is
something you have done before its due time." Abu Burda said,
"I have a Jadha'a which is better than two old sheep; shall I
slaughter it?" The Prophet said, "Yes, but it will not be
sufficient for anyone after you."

Believers! There is a man who sends a Hadi to Ka`ba and stays
in his city and requests that his Hadi camel be garlanded
while he remains in a state of Ihram from that day till the
people finish their Ihram (after completing all the ceremonies
of Hajj)" (What do you say about it?) Masruq added, I heard
the clapping of her hands behind the curtain. She said, "I
used to twist the garlands for the Hadi of Allah's Apostle and
he used to send his Hadi to Ka`ba but he never used to regard
as unlawful what was lawful for men to do with their wives
till the people returned (from the Hajj).
7.474:

taste it. (In his narration) Abu Sa`id added: I got up and
went to my brother, Abu Qatada (who was his maternal brother
and was one of the warriors of the battle of Badr) and
mentioned that to him He Sa`d. 'A new verdict was given in
your absence (i.e., meat of sacrifices was allowed to be
stored and eaten later on).
7.476:
Narrated Salama bin Al−Aqua': The Prophet said, "Whoever has
slaughtered a sacrifice should not keep anything of Its meat
after three days." When it was the next year the people said,
"O Allah's Apostle! Shall we do as we did last year?" He said,
' Eat of it and feed of it to others and store of it for in
that year the people were having a hard time and I wanted you
to help (the needy).
7.477:

knows better.

breaking your fast, and the other is the one, on which you eat
the meat of your sacrifices."

Narrated Abu `Ubaid: (in continuation of 478). Then I
witnessed the `Id with `Uthman bin `Affan, and that was on a
Friday. He offered the prayer before the sermon, saying, "O
people! Today you have two 'Its (festivals) together, so
whoever of those who live at Al−`Awali (suburbs) would like to
wait for the Jumua prayer, he may wait, and whoever would like
to return (home) Is granted my permission to do so." Then I
witnessed (the 'Its) with `Ali bin Abi Talib, and he too

the sermon before the people and said, "Allah's Apostle has
forbidden you to eat the meat of your sacrifices for more than
three days."

love,' and the dearest of my property to me is the Bairuha
garden and I want to give it in charity in Allah's Cause,
seeking to be rewarded by Allah for that. So you can spend it,
O Allah's Apostle, where−ever Allah instructs you. ' Allah s
Apostle said, "Good! That is a perishable (or profitable)
wealth" (`Abdullah is in doubt as to which word was used.) He
said, "I have heard what you have said but in my opinion you'd

garden among his kith and kin and cousins. 7.516:

believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever
direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind

Narrated `Aisha:
When Allah's Apostle emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal
got a fever. I entered upon them and asked, "O my father! How
are you? O Bilal! How are you?" Whenever fever attacked Abu
Bakr, he would recite the following poetic verses: 'Everybody
is staying alive among his people, yet death is nearer to him
than his shoe laces." And whenever the fever deserted Bilal,
he would recite (two poetic lines): 'Would that I could stay
overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir
and Jalil (two kinds of good smelling grass). Would that one
day I would drink of the water of Majinna and would that Shama
and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me.' Then I
came and informed Allah's Apostle about that, whereupon he
said, "O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or more than we
love Mecca. O Allah! Make it healthy and bless its Mudd and Sa
for us, and take away its fever and put it in Al Juhfa."

Narrated Abu `Uthman: Usama bin Zaid said that while he. Sa`d
and Ubai bin Ka`b were with the Prophet a daughter of the
Prophet sent a message to him, saying. 'My daughter is dying;
please come to us." The Prophet sent her his greetings and
added "It is for Allah what He takes, and what He gives; and
everything before His sight has a limited period. So she
should hope for Allah's reward and remain patient." She again
sent a message, beseeching him by Allah, to come. So the
Prophet got up. and so did we (and went there). The child was
placed on his lap while his breath was irregular. Tears flowed
from the eyes of the Prophet. Sa`d said to him, "What is this,
O Allah's Apostle?" He said. "This Is Mercy which Allah has
embedded in the hearts of whomever He wished of His slaves.
And Allah does not bestow His Mercy, except on the merciful
among His slaves. (See Hadith No. 373 Vol. 2)

Whenever the Prophet went to a patient, he used to say to him,
"Don't worry, if Allah will, it will be expiation (for your

fever that is boiling or harassing an old man and will lead
him to his grave without his will." The Prophet said, "Then,
yes, it is so."

him. He led them in prayer while sitting. but they prayed
standing, so he waved to them to sit down. When he had
finished the prayer, he said, "An Imam is to be followed, so
when he bows, you should bow. and when he raises his head, you
should raise yours, and if he prays sitting. you should pray
sitting." Abu `Abdullah said Al−Humaidi said, (The order of )

Prophet as he led the prayer sitting, while the people prayed
standing behind him.'

me. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I shall leave behind me a good
fortune, but my heir is my only daughter; shall I bequeath two
third of my property to be spent in charity and leave one
third (for my heir)?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath
half and leave half?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath
one third and leave two thirds?" He said, "One third is
alright, though even one third is too much." Then he placed
his hand on his forehead and passed it over my face and
`Abdomen and said, "O Allah! Cure Sa`d and complete his
emigration." I feel as if I have been feeling the coldness of
his hand on my liver ever since.
7.564:

have." I said, "Is it because you will get a double reward?"

down."

pay him a visit, and said to him, "Don't worry, Allah willing,

and will send him to his grave." On that, the Prophet said,
"Then yes, it is so."
7.567:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: The Prophet rode a donkey having a
saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet covering. He mounted me behind
him and went to visit Sa`d bin 'Ubada, and that had been
before the battle of Badr. The Prophet proceeded till he
passed by a gathering in which `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul
was present, and that had been before `Abdullah embraced
Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, i.e.,
isolators and Jews. `Abdullah bin Rawaha was also present in
that gathering. When dust raised by the donkey covered the
gathering, `Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his upper
garment and said, "Do not trouble us with dust." The Prophet
greeted them, stopped and dismounted. Then he invited them to
Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses
of the Holy Qur'an. On that, `Abdullah bin Ubai said, "O man !
There is nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do
not trouble us with it in our gathering, but return to your
house, and if somebody comes to you, teach him there." On that
`Abdullah bin Rawaha said, Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring your
teachings to our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims,
the pagans and the Jews started abusing each other till they
were about to fight. The Prophet kept on quietening them till
they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet mounted his animal and
proceeded till he entered upon Sa`d bin Ubada. He said to him
"O Sa`d! Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., `Abdullah
bin Ubai) said?" Sa`d said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and
forgive him, for Allah has given you what He has given you.
The people of this town (Medina decided unanimously to crown
him and make him their chief by placing a turban on his head,
but when that was prevented by the Truth which Allah had given
you he (`Abdullah bin Ubai) was grieved out of jealously, and
that was the reason which caused him to behave in the way you
have seen."

that."
7.570:
Narrated Al−Qasim bin Muhammad: `Aisha, (complaining of
headache) said, "Oh, my head"! Allah's Apostle said, "I wish
that had happened while I was still living, for then I would
ask Allah's Forgiveness for you and invoke Allah for you."
Aisha said, "Wa thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to
die; and If this should happen, you would spend the last part
of the day sleeping with one of your wives!" The Prophet said,
"Nay, I should say, 'Oh my head!' I felt like sending for Abu
Bakr and his son, and appoint him as my successor lest some
people claimed something or some others wished something, but
then I said (to myself), 'Allah would not allow it to be
otherwise, and the Muslims would prevent it to be otherwise".
7.571:

other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins as a
tree sheds its leaves." 7.572:

been aggravated during Hajjat−al−Wada`. I said to him, "You
see how sick I am. I have much property but have no heir
except my only daughter May I give two thirds of my property
in charity?"! He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said,
"No." I said "One third?" He said, "One third is too much, for
to leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor,
begging of others. Nothing you spend seeking Allah's pleasure
but you shall get a reward for it, even for what you put in
the mouth of your wife."
7.573:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When Allah's Apostle was on his death−bed
and in the house there were some people among whom was `Umar
bin Al−Khattab, the Prophet said, "Come, let me write for you
a statement after which you will not go astray." `Umar said,
"The Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the
Book of Allah is enough for us." The people present in the
house differed and quarrelled. Some said "Go near so that the
Prophet may write for you a statement after which you will not
go astray," while the others said as `Umar said. When they
caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Apostle said,
"Go away!" Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn `Abbas used to say, "It
was very unfortunate that Allah's Apostle was prevented from
writing that statement for them because of their disagreement
and noise." 7.574:

An−Nubuwwa" (The Seal of Prophethood) between his shoulders
like a button of a tent.

better for me.' "
7.576:
Narrated Qais bin Abi Hazim: We went to pay a visit to Khabbab
(who was sick) and he had been branded (cauterized) at seven
places in his body. He said, "Our companions who died (during
the lifetime of the Prophet) left (this world) without having
their rewards reduced through enjoying the pleasures of this
life, but we have got (so much) wealth that we find no way to
spend It except on the construction of buildings Had the
Prophet not forbidden us to wish for death, I would have
wished for it.' We visited him for the second time while he
was building a wall. He said, A Muslim is rewarded (in the
Hereafter) for whatever he spends except for something that he
spends on building."
7.577:
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The
good deeds of any person will not make him enter Paradise."
(i.e., None can enter Paradise through his good deeds.) They
(the Prophet's companions) said, 'Not even you, O Allah's
Apostle?' He said, "Not even myself, unless Allah bestows His
favor and mercy on me." So be moderate in your religious deeds
and do the deeds that are within your ability: and none of you
should wish for death, for if he is a good doer, he may
increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil doer, he may
repent to Allah."

inheritance was revealed.

people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces." And
when fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic
verses): "Would that I could stay overnight in a valley
wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds
of good smelling grass). Would that one day I could drink of
the water of Majinna, and would that Shama and Tafil (two
mountains at Mecca) would appear to me!" I went to Allah's
Apostle and informed him about that. He said, "O Allah! Make
us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca, and make it
healthy, and bless its Sa and its Mudd, and take away its
fever and put it in Al−Juhfa." (See Hadith No 558).

seventy thousand shall enter Paradise without reckoning.'
"Then the Prophet entered his house without telling his
companions who they (the 70,000) were. So the people started
talking about the issue and said, "It is we who have believed
in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those people are
either ourselves or our children who are born m the Islamic
era, for we were born in the Pre−lslamic Period of
Ignorance.'' When the Prophet heard of that, he came out and
said. "Those people are those who do not treat themselves with
Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or good omen (from birds
etc.) nor do they get themselves branded (Cauterized). but
they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On that 'Ukasha
bin Muhsin said. "Am I one of them, O Allah's Apostle?' The

I one of them?" The Prophet said, 'Ukasha has anticipated
you."

of) the Prophet when he was dead. `Aisha added: We put
medicine in one side of his mouth but he started waving us not

the medicine as a patient usually does." But when he came to
his senses he said, "Did I not forbid you to put medicine (by
force) in the side of my mouth?" We said, "We thought it was
just because a patient usually dislikes medicine." He said,
"None of those who are in the house but will be forced to take
medicine in the side of his mouth while I am watching, except
Al−`Abbas, for he had not witnessed your deed."
7.611:

for a (throat and tonsil) disease. The Prophet said, "Why do
you pain your children by pressing their throats! Use Ud
Al−Hindi (certain Indian incense) for it cures seven diseases,
one of which is pleurisy. It is used as a snuff for treating
throat and tonsil disease and it is inserted into one side of
the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy."

and his legs were dragging on the ground between `Abbas and
another man. (The sub−narrator told Ibn `Abbas who said: Do
you know who was the other man whom `Aisha did not mention?
The sub−narrator said: No. Ibn `Abbas said: It was `Ali.)
`Aisha added: When the Prophet entered my house and his
disease became aggravated, he said, "Pour on me seven water
skins full of water (the tying ribbons of which had not been
untied) so that I may give some advice to the people." So we

given some camels and a shepherd, and ordered them to go out
with those camels and drink their milk and urine. So they set
out, but when they reached a place called Al−Harra, they
reverted to disbelief after their conversion to Islam, killed
the shepherd and drove away the camels. When this news reached

for Sham and when he reached Sargh, the commanders of the

`Umar said, "Call for me the early emigrants." So `Umar called
them, consulted them and informed them that an epidemic had
broken out in Sham. Those people differed in their opinions.
Some of them said, "We have come out for a purpose and we do
not think that it is proper to give it up," while others said
(to `Umar), "You have along with you. other people and the
companions of Allah's Apostle so do not advise that we take
them to this epidemic." `Umar said to them, "Leave me now."
Then he said, "Call the Ansar for me." I called them and he
consulted them and they followed the way of the emigrants and
differed as they did. He then said to them, Leave me now," and
added, "Call for me the old people of Quraish who emigrated in
the year of the Conquest of Mecca." I called them and they
gave a unanimous opinion saying, "We advise that you should
return with the people and do not take them to that (place) of
epidemic." So `Umar made an announcement, "I will ride back to
Medina in the morning, so you should do the same." Abu 'Ubaida
bin Al−Jarrah said (to `Umar), "Are you running away from what
Allah had ordained?" `Umar said, "Would that someone else had
said such a thing, O Abu 'Ubaida! Yes, we are running from
what Allah had ordained to what Allah has ordained. Don't you
agree that if you had camels that went down a valley having
two places, one green and the other dry, you would graze them
on the green one only if Allah had ordained that, and you
would graze them on the dry one only if Allah had ordained
that?" At that time `Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf, who had been
absent because of some job, came and said, "I have some
knowledge about this. I have heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'If
you hear about it (an outbreak of plague) in a land, do not go

staying, do not run away from it.' " `Umar thanked Allah and

(the wife of the Prophet) that she asked Allah's Apostle about
plague, and Allah's Apostle informed her saying, "Plague was a
punishment which Allah used to send on whom He wished, but

broken out and considers that nothing will befall him except
what Allah has ordained for him, but that Allah will grant him
a reward similar to that of a martyr."
7.631:

by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet
), "Have you got any medicine with you or anybody who can
treat with Ruqya?" The Prophet's companions said, "You refuse
to entertain us, so we will not treat (your chief) unless you
pay us for it." So they agreed to pay them a flock of sheep.
One of them (the Prophet's companions) started reciting
Surat−al−Fatiha and gathering his saliva and spitting it (at
the snake−bite). The patient got cured and his people
presented the sheep to them, but they said, "We will not take
it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful)." When
they asked him, he smiled and said, "How do you know that
Surat−al−Fatiha is a Ruqya? Take it (flock of sheep) and
assign a share for me."
7.633:

passed by some people staying at a place where there was

man from those staying near the water, came and said to the
companions of the Prophet, "Is there anyone among you who can
do Ruqya as near the water there is a person who has been
stung by a scorpion." So one of the Prophet's companions went
to him and recited Surat−al−Fatiha for a sheep as his fees.
The patient got cured and the man brought the sheep to his
companions who disliked that and said, "You have taken wages
for reciting Allah's Book." When they arrived at Medina, they
said, ' O Allah's Apostle! (This person) has taken wages for

said, "Yes," Anas recited, "O Allah! The Lord of the people,

for You are the Healer. None brings about healing but You; a
healing that will leave behind no ailment." 7.639:

7.643:
Narrated Abu Qatada: I heard the Prophet saying, "A good dream
is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan. So if anyone of
you sees (in a dream) something he dislikes, when he gets up
he should blow thrice (on his left side) and seek refuge with
Allah from its evil for then it will not harm him."
7.644:
Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle went to bed, he used to recite
Surat−al−Ikhlas, Surat−al−Falaq and Surat−an−Nas and then blow
on his palms and pass them over his face and those parts of
his body that his hands could reach. And when he fell ill, he
used to order me to do like that for him.
7.645:
Narrated Abu Sa`id: A group of the companions of Allah's
Apostle proceeded on a journey till they dismounted near one
of the Arab tribes and requested them to entertain them as
their guests, but they (the tribe people) refused to entertain
them. Then the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or
stung by a scorpion) and he was given all sorts of treatment,
but all in vain. Some of them said, "Will you go to the group
(those travelers) who have dismounted near you and see if one
of them has something useful?" They came to them and said, "O
the group! Our leader has been bitten by a snake (or stung by
a scorpion) and we have treated him with everything but
nothing benefited him Has anyone of you anything useful?" One
of them replied, "Yes, by Allah, I know how to treat with a
Ruqya. But. by Allah, we wanted you to receive us as your
guests but you refused. I will not treat your patient with a
Ruqya till you fix for us something as wages." Consequently
they agreed to give those travellers a flock of sheep. The man
went with them (the people of the tribe) and started spitting
(on the bite) and reciting Surat−al−Fatiha till the patient
was healed and started walking as if he had not been sick.
When the tribe people paid them their wages they had agreed
upon, some of them (the Prophet's companions) said,
"Distribute (the sheep)." But the one who treated with the
Ruqya said, "Do not do that till we go to Allah's Apostle and
mention to him what has happened, and see what he will order
us." So they came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned the story
to him and he said, "How do you know that Surat−al−Fatiha is a
Ruqya? You have done the right thing. Divide (what you have
got) and assign for me a share with you."

him. Then I saw a great crowd covering the horizon and I
wished that they were my followers, but it was said to me,

'Look'' I looked and saw a big gathering with a large number
of people covering the horizon. It was said, "Look this way
and that way.' So I saw a big crowd covering the horizon. Then
it was said to me, "These are your followers, and among them
there are 70,000 who will enter Paradise without (being asked
about their) accounts. " Then the people dispersed and the
Prophet did not tell who those 70,000 were. So the companions
of the Prophet started talking about that and some of them
said, "As regards us, we were born in the era of heathenism,
but then we believed in Allah and His Apostle . We think
however, that these (70,000) are our offspring." That talk
reached the Prophet who said, "These (70,000) are the people
who do not draw an evil omen from (birds) and do not get
treated by branding themselves and do not treat with Ruqya,
but put their trust (only) in their Lord." then 'Ukasha bin
Muhsin got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Am I one of those
(70,000)?" The Prophet said, "Yes." Then another person got up
and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet said, " 'Ukasha has
anticipated you."

judged that the blood money for what was in her womb. was a
slave or a female slave. The guardian of the lady who was
fined said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall I be fined for a
creature that has neither drunk nor eaten, neither spoke nor
cried? A case like that should be nullified." On that the
Prophet said, "This is one of the brothers of soothsayers.
7.655:

should give the mother a slave or a female slave in recompense

that word one hundred lies."

worked magic on Allah's Apostle till Allah's Apostle started
imagining that he had done a thing that he had not really
done. One day or one night he was with us, he invoked Allah
and invoked for a long period, and then said, "O `Aisha! Do
you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I
have asked him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat
near my head and the other near my feet. One of them said to
his companion, "What is the disease of this man?" The other
replied, "He is under the effect of magic.' The first one
asked, 'Who has worked the magic on him?' The other replied,
"Labid bin Al−A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What material did
he use?' The other replied, 'A comb and the hairs stuck to it
and the skin of pollen of a male date palm.' The first one
asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied, '(That is) in the
well of Dharwan;' " So Allah's Apostle along with some of his
companions went there and came back saying, "O `Aisha, the
color of its water is like the infusion of Henna leaves. The
tops of the date−palm trees near it are like the heads of the
devils." I asked. "O Allah's Apostle? Why did you not show it
(to the people)?" He said, "Since Allah cured me, I disliked
to let evil spread among the people." Then he ordered that the
well be filled up with earth.

has such an effect). Then one day he said, "O `Aisha do you
know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I
asked Him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat near
my head and the other sat near my feet. The one near my head
asked the other. What is wrong with this man?' The latter
replied the is under the effect of magic The first one asked,
Who has worked magic on him?' The other replied Labid bin
Al−A'sam, a man from Bani Zuraiq who was an ally of the Jews
and was a hypocrite.' The first one asked, What material did
he use)?' The other replied, 'A comb and the hair stuck to
it.' The first one asked, 'Where (is that)?' The other
replied. 'In a skin of pollen of a male date palm tree kept
under a stone in the well of Dharwan' '' So the Prophet went
to that well and took out those things and said "That was the
well which was shown to me (in a dream) Its water looked like
the infusion of Henna leaves and its date−palm trees looked
like the heads of devils." The Prophet added, "Then that thing
was taken out' I said (to the Prophet ) "Why do you not treat
yourself with Nashra?" He said, "Allah has cured me; I dislike
to let evil spread among my people."
7.661:
Narrated `Aisha:
Magic was worked on Allah's Apostle so that he began to
imagine that he had done something although he had not. One
day while he was with me, he invoked Allah and invoked for a
long period and then said, "O `Aisha! Do you know that Allah
has instructed me regarding the matter I asked Him about?" I
asked, "What is that, O Allah's Apostle?" He said, "Two men
came to me; one of them sat near my head and the other sat
near my feet. One of them asked his companion, 'What is the
disease of this man?' The other replied, 'He is under the
effect of magic.' The first one asked, 'Who has worked magic
on him?" The other replied, 'Labid bin A'sam, a Jew from the
tribe of Bani Zuraiq.' The (first one asked), 'With what has
it been done?' The other replied, 'With a a comb and the hair
stuck to it and a skin of the pollen of a male datepalm tree.'
The first one asked, 'Where is it?' The other replied, 'In the
well of Dharwan.' Then the Prophet went along with some of his
companions to that well and looked at that and there were date
palms near to it. Then he returned to me and said, 'By Allah
the water of that well was (red) like the infusion of Henna
leaves and its date−palms were like the heads of devils" I
said, O Allah's Apostle! Did you take those materials out of
the pollen skin?" He said, 'No! As for me Allah has healed me
and cured me and I was afraid that (by Showing that to the
people) I would spread evil among them when he ordered that
the well be filled up with earth, and it was filled up with
earth "

Fire?" They replied, "We will remain in the (Hell) Fire for a
while and then you (Muslims) will replace us in it" Allah's
Apostle said to them. ''You will abide in it with ignominy. By
Allah, we shall never replace you in it at all." Then he asked
them again, "If I ask you something, will you tell me the
truth?" They replied, "Yes." He asked. "Have you put the
poison in this roasted sheep?" They replied, "Yes," He asked,

back and I poured water for him from the pot (for the
ablution). He washed his face and hands while he was wearing a
woollen cloak (the sleeves of which were narrow), so he could
not take his arms out of it. So he took them out from
underneath the cloak. Then he washed his forearms and passed
his wet hands over his head. Then I tried to take off his
Khuffs (socks made from thick fabric or leather), but he said,

him), "Wait, for I hope that Allah will allow me also to
emigrate." Abu Bakr said, "Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you. Do you hope that (emigration)?" The
Prophet said, 'Yes." So Abu Bakr waited to accompany the
Prophet and fed two she−camels he had on the leaves of
As−Samur tree regularly for four months One day while we were
sitting in our house at midday, someone said to Abu Bakr,
"Here is Allah's Apostle, coming with his head and a part of
his face covered with a cloth−covering at an hour he never
used to come to us." Abu Bakr said, "Let my father and mother
be sacrificed for you, (O Prophet)! An urgent matter must have
brought you here at this hour." The Prophet came and asked the
permission to enter, and he was allowed. The Prophet entered
and said to Abu Bakr, "Let those who are with you, go out."
Abu Bakr replied, "(There is no stranger); they are your
family. Let my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah's
Apostle!" The Prophet said, "I have been allowed to leave
(Mecca)." Abu Bakr said, " I shall accompany you, O Allah's
Apostle, Let my father be sacrificed for you!" The Prophet
said, "Yes," Abu Bakr said, 'O Allah's Apostles! Let my father
be sacrificed for you. Take one of these two she−camels of
mine" The Prophet said. I will take it only after paying its
price." So we prepared their baggage and put their journey
food In a leather bag. And Asma' bint Abu Bakr cut a piece of
her girdle and tied the mouth of the leather bag with it. That
is why she was called Dhat−an−Nitaqaln. Then the Prophet and
Abu Bakr went to a cave in a mountain called Thour and
remained there for three nights. `Abdullah bin Abu Bakr. who
was a young intelligent man. used to stay with them at night
and leave before dawn so that in the morning, he would he with
the Quraish at Mecca as if he had spent the night among them.
If he heard of any plot contrived by the Quraish against the
Prophet and Abu Bakr, he would understand it and (return to)
inform them of it when it became dark. 'Amir bin Fuhaira, the
freed slave of Abu Bakr used to graze a flock of milch sheep
for them and he used to take those sheep to them when an hour
had passed after the `Isha prayer. They would sleep soundly
till 'Amir bin Fuhaira awakened them when it was still dark.

out to us and he was wearing it as an Izar. A man from the
people felt it and said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Give it to me to
wear.' The Prophet s said, 'Yes.' Then he sat there for some
time (and when he went to his house), he folded it and sent it
to him. The people said to that man, 'You have not done a
right thing. You asked him for it, though you know that he
does not put down anybody's request.' The man said, 'By Allah!

of wearing clothes and two kinds of dealings. (A) He forbade
the dealings of the Mulamasa and the Munabadha. In the
Mulamasa transaction the buyer just touches the garment he
wants to buy at night or by daytime, and that touch would
oblige him to buy it. In the Munabadha, one man throws his
garment at another and the latter throws his at the former and
the barter is complete and valid without examining the two
objects or being satisfied with them (B) The two ways of
wearing clothes were Ishtimal−as−Samma, i e., to cover one's
shoulder with one's garment and leave the other bare: and the
other way was to wrap oneself with a garment while one was

one's private part.

Prophet took the Khamisa in his hands and made me wear it and
said, "May you live so long that your dress will wear out and

husband and showed her a green spot on her skin caused by
beating). It was the habit of ladies to support each other, so
when Allah's Apostle came, `Aisha said, "I have not seen any
woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin
is greener than her clothes!" When `AbdurRahman heard that his
wife had gone to the Prophet, he came with his two sons from
another wife. She said, "By Allah! I have done no wrong to him
but he is impotent and is as useless to me as this," holding
and showing the fringe of her garment, `Abdur−Rahman said, "By
Allah, O Allah's Apostle! She has told a lie! I am very strong
and can satisfy her but she is disobedient and wants to go
back to Rifa`a." Allah's Apostle said, to her, "If that is
your intention, then know that it is unlawful for you to
remarry Rifa`a unless `Abdur−Rahman has had sexual intercourse
with you." Then the Prophet saw two boys with `Abdur−Rahman
and asked (him), "Are these your sons?" On that `AbdurRahman
said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "You claim what you claim
(i.e.. that he is impotent)? But by Allah, these boys resemble
him as a crow resembles a crow,"

sold, so he said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why don't you buy it so

no share in the Hereafter." Afterwards the Prophet sent to
`Umar a silk suit suitable for wearing. `Umar said to the
Prophet, "You have given it to me to wear, yet I have heard
you saying about it what you said?" The Prophet said, "I sent
it to you so that you might either sell it or give it to
somebody else to wear."

the two women who helped each other against the Prophet but I
was afraid of him. One day he dismounted his riding animal and
went among the trees of Arak to answer the call of nature, and
when he returned, I asked him and he said, "(They were) `Aisha
and Hafsa." Then he added, "We never used to give significance
to ladies in the days of the Pre−lslamic period of ignorance,
but when Islam came and Allah mentioned their rights, we used
to give them their rights but did not allow them to interfere
in our affairs. Once there was some dispute between me and my
wife and she answered me back in a loud voice. I said to her,
'Strange! You can retort in this way?' She said, 'Yes. Do you
say this to me while your daughter troubles Allah's Apostle?'
So I went to Hafsa and said to her, 'I warn you not to disobey
Allah and His Apostle.' I first went to Hafsa and then to Um
Salama and told her the same. She said to me, 'O `Umar! It
surprises me that you interfere in our affairs so much that
you would poke your nose even into the affairs of Allah's
Apostle and his wives.' So she rejected my advice. There was
an Ansari man; whenever he was absent from Allah's Apostle and
I was present there, I used to convey to him what had happened
(on that day), and when I was absent and he was present there,
he used to convey to me what had happened as regards news from
Allah's Apostle . During that time all the rulers of the
nearby lands had surrendered to Allah's Apostle except the
king of Ghassan in Sham, and we were afraid that he might
attack us. All of a sudden the Ansari came and said, 'A great
event has happened!' I asked him, 'What is it? Has the
Ghassani (king) come?' He said, 'Greater than that! Allah's
Apostle has divorced his wives! I went to them and found all
of them weeping in their dwellings, and the Prophet had
ascended to an upper room of his. At the door of the room
there was a slave to whom I went and said, "Ask the permission
for me to enter." He admitted me and I entered to see the
Prophet lying on a mat that had left its imprint on his side.
Under his head there was a leather pillow stuffed with palm
fires. Behold! There were some hides hanging there and some
grass for tanning. Then I mentioned what I had said to Hafsa
and Um Salama and what reply Um Salama had given me. Allah's
Apostle smiled and stayed there for twenty nine days and then
came down." (See Hadith No. 648, Vol. 3 for details)
7.735:
Narrated Um Salama: One night the Prophet woke up, saying,
"None has the right to be worshipped but Allah! How many
afflictions have been sent down tonight, and how many
treasures have been sent down (disclosed)! Who will go and
wake up (for prayers) the lady dwellers of these rooms? Many
well dressed soul (people) in this world, will be naked on the
Day of Resurrection."
7.736:
Narrated Um Khalid bint Khalid: Some clothes were presented to
Allah's Apostle as a gift and there was a black Khamisa with
it. The Prophet asked (his companions), "To whom do you
suggest we give this Khamisa?" The people kept quiet. Then he
said, "Bring me Um Khalid," So I was brought to him and he
dressed me with it with his own hands and said twice, "May you
live so long that you will wear out many garments." He then
started looking at the embroidery of that Khamisa and said, "O
Um Khalid! This is Sana!" (Sana in Ethiopian language means
beautiful.) 'Is−haq, a sub−narrator, said: A woman of my

Khalid.

have not seen Allah's Apostle touching except the two Yemenite
corners, As for the Sabtiyya shoes, I saw Allah's Apostle
wearing leather shoes that had no hair, and he used to perform
the ablution while wearing them. Therefore, I like to wear
such shoes. As regards dyeing with Sufra, I saw Allah's
