That his father said, "One day I was sitting with some of the
Prophet's companions on the way to Mecca. Allah's Apostle was ahead
of us. All of my companions were in the state of Ihram while I was a
non-Muhrim. They saw an onager while I was busy repairing my shoes,
so they did not tell me about it but they wished I had seen it. By
chance I looked up and saw it. So, I turned to the horse, saddled it
and rode on it, forgetting to take the spear and the whip. I asked
them if they could hand over to me the whip and the spear but they
said, 'No, by Allah, we shall not help you in that in any way.' I
became angry and got down from the horse, picked up both the things
and rode the horse again. I attacked the onager and slaughtered it,
and brought it (after it had been dead). They took it (cooked some
of it) and started eating it, but they doubted whether it was
allowed for them to eat it or not, as they were in the state of
Ihram. So, we proceeded and I hid with me one of its fore-legs. When
we met Allah's Apostle and asked him about the case, he asked, 'Do
you have a portion of it with you?' I replied in the affirmative and
gave him that fleshy fore-leg which he ate completely while he was
in the state of Ihram .

his right side. When Allah's Apostle finished, 'Umar said to Allah's
Apostle "Here is Abu Bakr." But Allah's Apostle gave the remaining
milk to the bedouin and said twice, "The (persons on the) right
side! So, start from the right side." Anas added, "It is a Sunna
(the Prophet's traditions)" and repeated it thrice.

I said, "It has been given to Buraira in charity." He said, "It is
sadaqa for her but a gift for us." Buraira was given the option (to
stay with her husband or to part with him). AbdurRahman (a
sub-narrator) wondered, "Was her husband a slave or a free man?"

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

whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it,
and whoever of you like to stick to his share till we give him his

witness to it, O Allah's Apostle!' Allah's Apostle asked, 'Have you

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

persons?" He replied in the negative. In the meantime an Ansari came
with a basket full of dates. The Prophet said to the man, "Take it
and give it in charity (as an expiation of your sin)." The man said
"Should I give it to some people who are poorer than we O Allah's
Apostle? By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, there is no family

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

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

roasted. By Allah, the Prophet gave every person of the
one-hundred-and-thirty a piece of that; he gave all those of them

back he said, "We have not seen anything (to be afraid of), but the
horse was very fast (having an energy as inexhaustible as the water
of the sea)."

I went to 'Aisha and she was wearing a coarse dress costing five
Dirhams. 'Aisha said, "Look up and see my slave-girl who refuses to
wear it in the house though during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle I
had a similar dress which no woman desiring to appear elegant
(before her husband) failed to borrow from me."

Allah's Apostle said, "What a good Maniha (the she-camel which has

morning and another in the evening) is!"

Narrated Ibn Shihab Az-Zuhri:
Anas bin Malik said, "When the emigrants came Medina, they had
nothing whereas the Ansar had land and property. The Ansar gave them
their land on condition that the emigrants would give them half the
yearly yield and work on the land and provide the necessaries for
cultivation." His (i.e. Anas's mother who was also the mother of
'Abdullah bin Abu Talha, gave some date-palms to Allah' Apostle who
gave them to his freed slave-girl (Um Aiman) who was also the mother
of Usama bin Zaid. When the Prophet finished from the fighting
against the people of Khaibar and returned to Medina, the emigrants
returned to the Ansar the fruit gifts which the Ansar had given
them. The Prophet also returned to Anas's mother the date-pallms.
Allah's Apostle gave Um Aiman other trees from his garden in lieu of
the old gift.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr:
That Allah's Apostle said, "There are forty virtuous deeds and the
best of them is the Maniha of a she-goat, and anyone who does one of
these virtuous deeds hoping for Allah's reward with firm confidence
that he will get it, then Allah will make him enter Paradise because
of Hassan (a sub-narrator) said, "We tried to count those good deeds
below the Maniha; we mentioned replying to the sneezer, removing
harmful things from the road, etc., but we failed to count even
fifteen."

Narrated Jabir:
Some men had superfluous land and they said that they would give it
to others to cultivate on the condition that they would get
one-third or one-fourth or one half of its yield. The Prophet said,
"Whoever has land should cultivate it himself or give it to his
brother or keep it uncultivated."
Narrated Abu Said: A bedouin came to the Prophet and asked him about
emigration. The Prophet said to him, "May Allah be merciful to you.
The matter of emigration is difficult. Have you got some camels?" He
replied in the affirmative. The Prophet asked him, "Do you pay their
Zakat?" He replied in the affirmative. He asked, "Do you lend them
so that their milk may be utilized by others?" The bedouin said,
"Yes." The Prophet asked, "Do you milk them on the day off watering
them?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Do good deeds beyond
the merchants (or the sea) and Allah will never disregard any of
your deeds." (See Hadith No. 260, Vol. 5)

Abbas) that the Prophet went towards some land which was flourishing

been better (for the owner) if he had given it to him gratis rather
than charging him a fixed rent.

in charity."
