It is Moses and his followers It was said to me, 'Look at the
horizon.'' Behold! There was a multitude of people filling the
horizon. Then it was said to me, 'Look there and there about
the stretching sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling the
horizon,' It was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom
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
Prophet said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said, "Am
I one of them?" The Prophet said, 'Ukasha has anticipated
you."
7.607:
Narrated Um Salama: The husband of a lady died and her eyes
became sore and the people mentioned her story to the Prophet
They asked him whether it was permissible for her to use kohl
as her eyes were exposed to danger. He said, "Previously, when
one of you was bereaved by a husband she would stay in her
dirty clothes in a bad unhealthy house (for one year), and
when a dog passed by, she would throw a globe of dung. No,
(she should observe the prescribed period Idda) for four
months and ten days.'
7.608:

'Adwa (no contagious disease is conveyed without Allah's

Safar, and one should run away from the leper as one runs away
from a lion.''

Narrated Ibn `Abbas and `Aisha: Abu Bakr kissed (the forehead
of) the Prophet when he was dead. `Aisha added: We put
medicine in one side of his mouth but he started waving us not
to insert the medicine into his mouth. We said, "He dislikes
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:
Narrated Um Qais:
I went to Allah's Apostle along with a a son of mine whose
palate and tonsils I had pressed with my finger as a treatment
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."
7.612:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) When the health of Allah's Apostle
deteriorated and his condition became serious, he asked the
permission of all his wives to allow him to be treated In my
house, and they allowed him. He came out, supported by two men
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
made him sit in a tub belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the
Prophet and started pouring water on him from those water
skins till he waved us to stop. Then he went out to the people
and led them in prayer and delivered a speech before them.

one of which is pleurisy."

the sand, but when a mangy camel comes and mixes with them,
they all get infected with mangy." The Prophet said, "Then who
conveyed the (mange) disease to the first one?"
7.616:

and tonsils she had pressed to treat a throat trouble. The

diseases, one of which is pleurisy." 7.617:

and `Uraina came to Allah's Apostle and embraced Islam and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are owners of livestock and have
never been farmers," and they found the climate of Medina
unsuitable for them. So Allah's Apostle ordered that they be
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
the Prophet he sent in their pursuit (and they were caught and
brought). The Prophet ordered that their eyes be branded with
heated iron bars and their hands be cut off, and they were

for Sham and when he reached Sargh, the commanders of the
(Muslim) army, Abu 'Ubaida bin Al−Jarrah and his companions
met him and told him that an epidemic had broken out in Sham.
`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
to it; but if plague breaks out in a country where you are
staying, do not run away from it.' " `Umar thanked Allah and
returned to Medina.

ached Sargh, he got the news that an epidemic (of plague) had
broken out in Sham. `Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf told him that

out in a land, do not go to it; but if it breaks out in a land
where you are present, do not go out escaping from it."

(Ad−Dajjal) nor plague will enter Medina."

plague is martyrdom for every Muslim."
7.629:

dies of an Abdominal disease is a a martyr, and he who dies of
plague is a martyr."
7.630:
Narrated `Aisha:
(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
Allah made it a blessing for the believers. None (among the
believers) remains patient in a land in which plague has
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:
Narrated `Aisha:
During the Prophet's fatal illness, he used to recite the
Mu'auwidhat (Surat An−Nas and Surat Al−Falaq) and then blow
his breath over his body. When his illness was aggravated, I

make him rub his body with his own hand for its blessings."

them over his face.)

Prophet came across a tribe amongst the tribes of the Arabs,
and that tribe did not entertain them. While they were in that
state, the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung
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:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Some of the companions of the Prophet
passed by some people staying at a place where there was
water, and one of those people had been stung by a scorpion. A
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
reciting Allah's Book" On that Allah's Apostle said, "You are
most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's
Book."

eye is a fact." And he prohibited tattooing.
7.637:
Narrated Al−Aswad: I asked `Aisha about treating poisonous
stings (a snake−bite or a scorpion sting) with a Ruqya. She
said, "The Prophet allowed the treatment of poisonous sting
with Ruqya."
7.638:
Narrated `Abdul `Aziz: Thabit and I went to Anas bin Malik.
Thabit said, "O Abu Hamza! I am sick." On that Anas said,
"Shall I treat you with the Ruqya of Allah's Apostle?" Thabit
said, "Yes," Anas recited, "O Allah! The Lord of the people,
the Remover of trouble! (Please) cure (Heal) (this patient),
for You are the Healer. None brings about healing but You; a
healing that will leave behind no ailment." 7.639:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to treat some of his wives by passing his
right hand over the place of ailment and used to say, "O

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."
7.646:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to treat some of his wives by passing his
right hand over the place of ailment and used to say, "O Lord
of the people! Remove the difficulty and bring about healing
as You are the Healer. There is no healing but Your Healing, a
healing that will leave no ailment."
7.647:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet, during his fatal ailment used to blow (on his
hands and pass them) over his body while reciting the
Mu'auwidhat (Surat−an−Nas and Surat−al−Falaq). When his
disease got aggravated, I used to recite them for him and blow
(on his hands) and let him pass his hands over his body
because of its blessing. (Ma`mar asked Ibn Shihab: How did he
use to do Nafth? He said: He used to blow on his hands and
then pass them over his face.)
7.648:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet once came out to us and said,
"Some nations were displayed before me. A prophet would pass
in front of me with one man, and another with two men, and
another with a group of people. and another with nobody with
him. Then I saw a great crowd covering the horizon and I
wished that they were my followers, but it was said to me,
'This is Moses and his followers.' Then 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

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 let evil spread among the people." Then he ordered that the

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."

imagine that he had done something although he had not. One
day while he was with me, he invoked Allah and invoked for a

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 "

They replied, "Yes, O Abal−Qasim! And if we should tell a lie
you will know it as you have known it regarding our father,"
Allah's Apostle then asked, "Who are the people of the (Hell)
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,

if you were a liar in which case we would be relieved from
you, and if you were a prophet then it would not harm you."

7.558:
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."

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)
7.560:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet went to visit a sick bedouin.
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
sins):" The bedouin said, "You say expiation? No, it is but a
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."

Narrated `Aisha:
During the ailment of the Prophet some people came to visits
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 )

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:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: I visited Allah's Apostle while
he was suffering from a high fever. I touched him with my hand

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

down."

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:
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: I visited the Prophet while he was having
a high fever. I touched him an said, "You have a very high

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:

said, "O Allah's Apostle! My nephew is− ill." The Prophet
touched my head with his hand and invoked Allah to bless me.

of his ablution and then stood behind his back and saw "Khatam
An−Nubuwwa" (The Seal of Prophethood) between his shoulders
like a button of a tent.
7.575:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "None of you should
wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he
has to wish for death, he should say: "O Allah! Keep me alive
as long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is
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."
7.578:
Narrated `Aisha:
I heard the Prophet , who was resting against me, saying, "O
Allah! Excuse me and bestow Your Mercy on me and let me join
with the highest companions (in Paradise)." See Qur'an ( 4.69)
7.579:
Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle paid a visit to a patient, or a
patient was brought to him, he used to invoke Allah, saying,
"Take away the disease, O the Lord of the people! Cure him as
You are the One Who cures. There is no cure but Yours, a cure
that leaves no disease."
7.580:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet came to me while I
was ill. He performed ablution and threw the remaining water
on me (or said, "Pour it on him) " When I came to my senses I
said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have no son or father to be my
heir, so how will be my inheritance?" Then the Verse of
inheritance was revealed.
7.581:
Narrated `Aisha:
When Allah's Apostle emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal
had a fever. I entered upon them and said, "O my father! How
are you? O Bilal! How are you?" Whenever Abu Bakr got the
fever he used to say, "Everybody is staying alive with his
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).

peacemaking

Peacemaking
3.855:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: There was a dispute amongst the people
of the tribe of Bani `Amr bin `Auf. The Prophet went to them
along with some of his companions in order to make peace
between them. The time for the prayer became due but the
Prophet did not turn up; Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e.
call) for the prayer but the Prophet did not turn up, so Bilal
went to Abu Bakr and said, "The time for the prayer is due and
the Prophet i detained, would you lead the people in the
prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes, you wish." So, Bilal
pronounced the Iqama of the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead (to
lead the prayer), but the Prophet came walking among the rows
till he joined the first row. The people started clapping and
they clapped too much, and Abu Bakr used not to look hither
and thither in the prayer, but he turned round and saw the
Prophet standing behind him. The Prophet beckoned him with his
hand to keep on praying where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hand
and praised Allah and then retreated till he came in the
(first) row, and the Prophet went ahead and lead the people in
the prayer. When the Prophet finished the prayer, he turned
towards the people and said, "O people! When something happens
to you during the prayer, you start clapping. Really clapping
is (permissible) for women only. If something happens to one
of you in his prayer, he should say: 'Subhan Allah',
(Glorified be Allah), for whoever hears him (saying so) will
direct his attention towards him. O Abu Bakr! What prevented
you from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned to
you (to continue)?" Abu Bakr replied, "It did not befit the
son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front of the Prophet.
3.856:
Narrated Anas:
It was said to the Prophet "Would that you see `Abdullah bin
Ubai." So, the Prophet went to him, riding a donkey, and the
Muslims accompanied him, walking on salty barren land. When
the Prophet reached `Abdullah bin Ubai, the latter said, "Keep
away from me! By Allah, the bad smell of your donkey has
harmed me." On that an Ansari man said (to `Abdullah), "By
Allah! The smell of the donkey of Allah's Apostle is better
than your smell." On that a man from `Abdullah's tribe got
angry for `Abdullah's sake, and the two men abused each other
which caused the friends of the two men to get angry, and the
two groups started fighting with sticks, shoes and hands. We
were informed that the following Divine Verse was revealed (in
this concern):−− "And if two groups of Believers fall to
fighting then, make peace between them." (49.9)
3.857:
Narrated Um Kulthum bint `Uqba: That she heard Allah's Apostle
saying, "He who makes peace between the people by inventing
good information or saying good things, is not a liar."
3.858:
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: Once the people of Quba fought with
each other till they threw stones on each other. When Allah's
Apostle was informed about it, he said, "Let us go to bring
about a reconciliation between them."
3.859:
Narrated Aisha:
The following Verse: If a woman fears cruelty or desertion on
her husband's part (i.e. the husband notices something
unpleasant about his wife, such as old age or the like, and
wants to divorce her, but she asks him to keep her and provide
for her as he wishes). (4.128) "There is no blame on them if
they reconcile on such basis."
3.860:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al−Juhani: A bedouin
came and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Judge between us according
to Allah's Laws." His opponent got up and said, "He is right.
Judge between us according to Allah's Laws." The bedouin said,
"My son was a laborer working for this man, and he committed
illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me
that my son should be stoned to death; so, in lieu of that, I
paid a ransom of one hundred sheep and a slave girl to save my
son. Then I asked the learned scholars who said, "Your son has
to be lashed one−hundred lashes and has to be exiled for one
year." The Prophet said, "No doubt I will judge between you
according to Allah's Laws. The slave−girl and the sheep are to
go back to you, and your son will get a hundred lashes and one
year exile." He then addressed somebody, "O Unais! go to the
wife of this (man) and stone her to death" So, Unais went and
stoned her to death.
3.861:
Narrated Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody innovates something which
is not in harmony with the principles of our religion, that
thing is rejected."
3.862:
Narrated Al−Bara bin `Azib: When Allah's Apostle concluded a
peace treaty with the people of Hudaibiya, `Ali bin Abu Talib
wrote the document and he mentioned in it, "Muhammad, Allah's
Apostle ." The pagans said, "Don't write: 'Muhammad, Allah's
Apostle', for if you were an apostle we would not fight with
you." Allah's Apostle asked `Ali to rub it out, but `Ali said,
"I will not be the person to rub it out." Allah's Apostle
rubbed it out and made peace with them on the condition that
the Prophet and his companions would enter Mecca and stay
there for three days, and that they would enter with their
weapons in cases.
3.863:
Narrated Al−Bara:
When the Prophet intended to perform `Umra in the month of
Dhul−Qada, the people of Mecca did not let him enter Mecca
till he settled the matter with them by promising to stay in
it for three days only. When the document of treaty was
written, the following was mentioned: 'These are the terms on
which Muhammad, Allah's Apostle agreed (to make peace).' They
said, "We will not agree to this, for if we believed that you
are Allah's Apostle we would not prevent you, but you are
Muhammad bin `Abdullah." The Prophet said, "I am Allah's
Apostle and also Muhammad bin `Abdullah." Then he said to
`Ali, "Rub off (the words) 'Allah's Apostle' ", but `Ali said,
"No, by Allah, I will never rub off your name." So, Allah's
Apostle took the document and wrote, 'This is what Muhammad
bin `Abdullah has agreed upon: No arms will be brought into
Mecca except in their cases, and nobody from the people of
Mecca will be allowed to go with him (i.e. the Prophet ) even
if he wished to follow him and he (the Prophet ) will not
prevent any of his companions from staying in Mecca if the
latter wants to stay.' When the Prophet entered Mecca and the
time limit passed, the Meccans went to `Ali and said, "Tell
your Friend (i.e. the Prophet ) to go out, as the period
(agreed to) has passed." So, the Prophet went out of Mecca.
The daughter of Hamza ran after them (i.e. the Prophet and his
companions), calling, "O Uncle! O Uncle!" `Ali received her
and led her by the hand and said to Fatima, "Take your uncle's
daughter." Zaid and Ja`far quarreled about her. `Ali said, "I
have more right to her as she is my uncle's daughter." Ja`far
said, "She is my uncle's daughter, and her aunt is my wife."
Zaid said, "She is my brother's daughter." The Prophet judged
that she should be given to her aunt, and said that the aunt
was like the mother. He then said to 'All, "You are from me
and I am from you", and said to Ja`far, "You resemble me both
in character and appearance", and said to Zaid, "You are our
brother (in faith) and our freed slave."
3.864:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Apostle set out for the `Umra but
the pagans of Quraish prevented him from reaching the Ka`ba.
So, he slaughtered his sacrifice and got his head shaved at
Al−Hudaibiya, and agreed with them that he would perform `Umra
the following year and would not carry weapons except swords
and would not stay in Mecca except for the period they al
lowed. So, the Prophet performed the `Umra in the following
year and entered Mecca according to the treaty, and when he
stayed for three days, the pagans ordered him to depart, and
he departed.
3.865:
Narrated Sahl bin Abu Hathma: `Abdullah bin Sahl and Muhaiyisa
bin Mas`ud bin Zaid went to Khaibar when it had a peace treaty
(with the Muslims).
3.866:
Narrated Anas:
Ar−Rabi, the daughter of An−Nadr broke the tooth of a girl,
and the relatives of Ar−Rabi` requested the girl's relatives
to accept the Irsh (compensation for wounds etc.) and forgive
(the offender), but they refused. So, they went to the Prophet
who ordered them to bring about retaliation. Anas bin An−Nadr
asked, "O Allah"; Apostle! Will the tooth of Ar−Rabi` be
broken? No, by Him Who has sent you with the Truth, her tooth
will not be broken." The Prophet said, "O Anas! Allah"; law
ordains retaliation." Later the relatives of the girl agreed
and forgave her. The Prophet said, "There are some of Allah's
slaves who, if they take an oath by Allah, are responded to by
Allah i.e. their oath is fulfilled). Anas added, "The people
agreed and accepted the Irsh."
3.867:
Narrated Al−Hasan Al−Basri: By Allah, Al−Hasan bin `Ali led
large battalions like mountains against Muawiya. `Amr bin
Al−As said (to Muawiya), "I surely see battalions which will
not turn back before killing their opponents." Muawiya who was
really the best of the two men said to him, "O `Amr! If these
killed those and those killed these, who would be left with me
for the jobs of the public, who would be left with me for
their women, who would be left with me for their children?"
Then Muawiya sent two Quraishi men from the tribe of
`Abd−i−Shams called `Abdur Rahman bin Sumura and `Abdullah bin
'Amir bin Kuraiz to Al−Hasan saying to them, "Go to this man
(i.e. Al−Hasan) and negotiate peace with him and talk and
appeal to him." So, they went to Al−Hasan and talked and
appealed to him to accept peace. Al−Hasan said, "We, the
offspring of `Abdul Muttalib, have got wealth and people have
indulged in killing and corruption (and money only will
appease them)." They said to Al−Hasan, "Muawiya offers you so
and so, and appeals to you and entreats you to accept peace."
Al−Hasan said to them, "But who will be responsible for what
you have said?" They said, "We will be responsible for it."
So, whatever Al−Hasan asked they said, "We will be responsible
for it for you." So, Al−Hasan concluded a peace treaty with
Muawiya. Al−Hasan (Al−Basri) said: I heard Abu Bakr saying, "I
saw Allah's Apostle on the pulpit and Al−Hasan bin `Ali was by
his side. The Prophet was looking once at the people and once
at Al−Hasan bin `Ali saying, 'This son of mine is a Saiyid
(i.e. a noble) and may Allah make peace between two big groups
of Muslims through him."
3.868:
Narrated Aisha:
Once Allah's Apostle heard the loud voices of some opponents
quarreling at the door. One of them was appealing to the other
to deduct his debt and asking him to be lenient but the other
was saying, "By Allah I will not do so." Allah's Apostle went
out to them and said, "Who is the one who was swearing by
Allah that he would not do a favor?" That man said, "I am that
person, O Allah's Apostle! I will give my opponent whatever he
wishes."
3.869:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b bin Malik from Ka`b bin Malik:
`Abdullah bin Abu Hadrad Al−Aslami owed Ka`b bin Malik some
money. One day the latter met the former and demanded his
right, and their voices grew very loud. The Prophet passed by
them and said, "O Ka`b," beckoning with his hand as if
intending to say, "Deduct half the debts." So, Ka`b took half
what the other owed him and remitted the other half.
3.870:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "There is a Sadaqa
to be given for every joint of the human body; and for every
day on which the sun rises there is a reward of a Sadaqa (i.e.
charitable gift) for the one who establishes justice among
people."
3.871:
Narrated `Urwa bin Az−Zubair: Az−Zubair told me that he
quarreled with an Ansari man who had participated in (the
battle of) Badr in front of Allah's Apostle about a water
stream which both of them used for irrigation. Allah's Apostle
said to Az−Zubair, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your garden) first,
and then let the water flow to your neighbor." The Ansari
became angry and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Is it because he is
your cousin?" On that the complexion of Allah's Apostle
changed (because of anger) and said (to Az−Zubair), "I
irrigate (your garden) and then withhold the water till it
reaches the walls (surrounding the palms)." So, Allah's
Apostle gave Az−Zubair his full right. Before that Allah's
Apostle had given a generous judgment beneficial for Az−Zubair
and the Ansari, but when the Ansan irritated Allah's Apostle
he gave Az−Zubair his full right according to the evident law.
Az−Zubair said, "By Allah ! I think the following Verse was
revealed concerning that case: "But no by your Lord They can
have No faith Until they make you judge In all disputes
between them." (4.65)
3.872:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: My father died and was in debt.
I suggested that his creditors take the fruits (i.e. dates) of
my garden in lieu of the debt of my father, but they refused
the offer, as they thought that it would not cover the full
debt. So, I went to the Prophet and told him about it. He said
(to me), "When you pluck the dates and collect them in the
Mirbad (i.e. a place where dates are dried), call me (Allah's
Apostle)." Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr and `Umar
and sat on the dates and invoked Allah to bless them. Then he
said, "Call your creditors and give them their full rights."
So, I paid all my father's creditors in full and yet thirteen
extra Wasqs of dates remained, seven of which were 'Ajwa and
six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I
met Allah's Apostle at sunset and informed him about it. On
that he smiled and said, "Go to Abu Bakr and `Umar and tell
them about it." They said, "We perceived that was going to
happen, as Allah's Apostle did what he did."
3.873:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Ka`b: That Ka`b bin Malik told him that
in the lifetime of Allah's Apostle he demanded his debt from
Ibn Abu Hadrad in the Mosque. Their voices grew louder till
Allah's Apostle heard them while he was in his house. So he
lifted the curtain of his room and called Ka`b bin Malik
saying, "O Ka`b!" He replied, "Labbaik! O Allah's Apostle!" He
beckoned to him with his hand suggesting that he deduct half
the debt. Ka`b said, "I agree, O Allah's Apostle!" Allah's
Apostle then said (to Ibn Abu Hadrad), "Get up and pay him the
rest."

divorce

Divorce

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).

7.185:
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.

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.

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:

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:

will be like this in Paradise," showing his middle and index
fingers and separating them. 7.225:

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."

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:

birth to a child a few days after the death of her husband.

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.
7.257:
Narrated Zainab bint Um Salama: When Um Habiba bint Abi Sufyan
was informed of her father's death, she asked for perfume and
rubbed it over her arms and said, "I am not in need of
perfume, but I have heard the Prophet saying, "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
the (mourning) period is four months and ten days."

of a dog, the earnings of a soothsayer and the money earned by
prostitution.

earned by prostitution, and cursed the makers of pictures.
7.260:

of a slave girl by prostitution.
7.261:
Narrated Sa`id bin Jubair: I said to Ibn `Umar, "If a man
accuses his wife of illegal sexual intercourse (what is the
judgment)?" He said, "Allah's Prophet separated the couple of
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:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet said to those who were
involved in a case of Lian, "Your accounts are with Allah. One
of you two is a liar. You (husband) have right on her (wife)."
The husband said, "My money, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet
said, "You are not entitled to take back any money. If you
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."
