3.663:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: "Allah's Apostle sent an army
towards the east coast and appointed Abu 'Ubaida bin Al−Jarrah
as their chief, and the army consisted of three−hundred men
including myself. We marched on till we reached a place where
our food was about to finish. Abu− 'Ubaida ordered us to
collect all the journey food and it was collected. My (our)
journey food was dates. Abu 'Ubaida kept on giving us our
daily ration in small amounts from it, till it was exhausted.
The share of everyone of us used to be one date only." I said,
"How could one date benefit you?" Jabir replied, "We came to
know its value when even that too finished." Jabir added,
"When we reached the sea−shore, we saw a huge fish which was
like a small mountain. The army ate from it for eighteen days.
Then Abu 'Ubaida ordered that two of its ribs be fixed and
they were fixed in the ground. Then he ordered that a
she−camel be ridden and it passed under the two ribs (forming
an arch) without touching them."
3.664:
Narrated Salama:
Once the journey food diminished and the people were reduced
to poverty. They went to the Prophet and asked his permission
to slaughter their camels, and he agreed. `Umar met them and
they told him about it, and he said, "How would you survive
after slaughtering your camels?" Then he went to the Prophet
and said, "O Allah's Apostle! How would they survive after
slaughtering their camels?" Allah's Apostle ordered `Umar,
"Call upon the people to bring what has remained of their
food." A leather sheet was spread and al I the journey food
was collected and heaped over it. Allah's Apostle stood up and
invoked Allah to bless it, and then directed all the people to
come with their utensils, and they started taking from it till
all of them got what was sufficient for them. Allah's Apostle
then said, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah, and I am His Apostle. "
3.665:
Narrated Rafi` bin Khadij: We used to offer the `Asr prayer
with the Prophet and slaughter a camel, the meat of which
would be divided in ten parts. We would eat the cooked meat
before sunset.
3.666:
Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet said, "When the people of
Ash`ari tribe ran short of food during the holy battles, or
the food of their families in Medina ran short, they would
collect all their remaining food in one sheet and then
distribute it among themselves equally by measuring it with a
bowl. So, these people are from me, and I am from them."
3.667:
Narrated Anas:
that Abu Bakr As−Siddiq wrote to him the law of Zakat which
was made obligatory by Allah's Apostle. He wrote: 'Partners
possessing joint property (sheep) have to pay its Zakat
equally.
3.668:
Narrated 'Abaya bin Rafa'a bin Raft' bin Khadij: My
grandfather said, "We were in the company of the Prophet at
Dhul−Hulaifa. The people felt hungry and captured some camels
and sheep (as booty). The Prophet was behind the people. They
hurried and slaughtered the animals and put their meat in pots
and started cooking it. (When the Prophet came) he ordered the
pots to be upset and then he distributed the animals (of the
booty), regarding ten sheep as equal to one camel. One of the
camels fled and the people ran after it till they were
exhausted. At that time there were few horses. A man threw an
arrow at the camel, and Allah stopped the camel with it. The
Prophet said, "Some of these animals are like wild animals, so
if you lose control over one of these animals, treat it in
this way (i.e. shoot it with an arrow)." Before distributing
them among the soldiers my grandfather said, "We may meet the
enemies in the future and have no knives; can we slaughter the
animals with reeds?" The Prophet said, "Use whatever causes
blood to flow, and eat the animals if the name of Allah has
been mentioned on slaughtering them. Do not slaughter with
teeth or fingernails and I will tell you why: It is because
teeth are bones (i.e. cannot cut properly) and fingernails are
the tools used by the Ethiopians (whom we should not imitate
for they are infidels).
3.669:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet decreed that one should not
eat two dates together at a time unless he gets the permission
from his companions (sharing the meal with him).
3.670:
Narrated Jabala:
"While at Medina we were struck with famine. Ibn Az−Zubair
used to provide us with dates as our food. Ibn `Umar used to
pass by us and say, "Don't eat two dates together at a time as
the Prophet has forbidden eating two dates together at a time
(in a gathering) unless one takes the permission of one's
companion brother."
3.671:
Narrated Nafi`:
Ibn `Umar said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'If one manumits his
share of a jointly possessed slave, and can afford the price
of the other shares according to the adequate price of the
slave, the slave will be completely manumitted; otherwise he
will be partially manumitted.' " (Aiyub, a sub−narrator is not
sure whether the saying " ... otherwise he will be partially
manumitted" was said by Nafi` or the Prophet.)
3.672:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his
share of a jointly possessed slave, it is imperative for him
to get that slave manumitted completely by paying the
remaining price, and if he does not have sufficient money to
manumit him, then the price of the slave should be estimated
justly, and he is to be allowed to work and earn the amount
that will manumit him (without overburdening him)".
3.673:
Narrated An−Nu`man bin Bashir: The Prophet said, "The example
of the person abiding by Allah's order and restrictions in
comparison to those who violate them is like the example of
those persons who drew lots for their seats in a boat. Some of
them got seats in the upper part, and the others in the lower.
When the latter needed water, they had to go up to bring water
(and that troubled the others), so they said, 'Let us make a
hole in our share of the ship (and get water) saving those who
are above us from troubling them. So, if the people in the
upper part left the others do what they had suggested, all the
people of the ship would be destroyed, but if they prevented
them, both parties would be safe."
3.674:
Narrated `Urwa bin Az−Zubair: That he had asked `Aisha about
the meaning of the Statement of Allah: "If you fear that you
shall not Be able to deal justly With the orphan girls, then
Marry (Other) women of your choice Two or three or four."
(4.3) She said, "O my nephew! This is about the orphan girl
who lives with her guardian and shares his property. Her
wealth and beauty may tempt him to marry her without giving
her an adequate Mahr (bridal−money) which might have been
given by another suitor. So, such guardians were forbidden to
marry such orphan girls unless they treated them justly and
gave them the most suitable Mahr; otherwise they were ordered
to marry any other woman." `Aisha further said, "After that
verse the people again asked the Prophet (about the marriage
with orphan 'girls), so Allah revealed the following verses:−−
'They ask your instruction Concerning the women. Say: Allah
Instructs you about them And about what is Recited unto you In
the Book, concerning The orphan girls to whom You give not the
prescribed portions and yet whom you Desire to marry..."
(4.127) What is meant by Allah's Saying:−− 'And about what is
Recited unto you is the former verse which goes:−− 'If you
fear that you shall not Be able to deal justly With the orphan
girls, then Marry (other) women of your choice.' (4.3) `Aisha
said, "Allah's saying in the other verse:−−'Yet whom you
desire to marry' (4.127) means the desire of the guardian to
marry an orphan girl under his supervision when she has not
much property or beauty (in which case he should treat her
justly). The guardians were forbidden to marry their orphan
girls possessing property and beauty without being just to
them, as they generally refrain from marrying them (when they
are neither beautiful nor wealthy).
3.675:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet established the
right of Shu'fa (i.e. Preemption) in joint properties; but
when the land is divided and the ways are demarcated, then
there is no pre−emption.
3.676:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet said, "The right of
preemption is valid in every joint property, but when the land
is divided and the way is demarcated, then there is no right
of pre−emption."
3.677:
Narrated Sulaiman bin Abu Muslim: I asked Abu Minhal about
money exchange from hand to hand. He said, "I and a partner of
mine bought something partly in cash and partly on credit."
Al−Bara' bin `Azib passed by us and we asked about it. He
replied, "I and my partner Zaid bin Al−Arqam did the same and
then went to the Prophet and asked him about it. He said,
'Take what was from hand to hand and leave what was on
credit.' "
3.678:
Narrated `Abdullah: Allah's Apostle rented the land of Khaibar
to the Jews on the condition that they would work on it and
cultivate it and take half of its yield.
3.679:
Narrated `Uqba bin 'Amir: that Allah's Apostle gave him some
sheep to distribute among his companions in order to sacrifice
them and a kid was left. He told the Prophet about it and the
Prophet said to him, "Sacrifice it on your behalf."
3.680:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Hisham: that his mother Zainab bint
Humaid took him to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Take the pledge of allegiance from him." But he said, "He is
still too young for the pledge," and passed his hand on his
(i.e. `Abdullah's) head and invoked for Allah's blessing for
him. Zuhra bin Ma`bad stated that he used to go with his
grandfather, `Abdullah bin Hisham, to the market to buy
foodstuff. Ibn `Umar and Ibn Az−Zubair would meet him and say
to him, "Be our partner, as the Prophet invoked Allah to bless
you." So, he would be their partner, and very often he would
win a camel's load and send it home.
3.681:
Narrated Ibn `Umar: The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his
share o a jointly possessed slave, it is imperative on him to
manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money to pay
the rest of its price which is to be estimated justly. He
should pay his partners their shares and release him (the
freed one).
3.682:
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his
share of a jointly possessed slave, it is essential for him to
manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money.
Otherwise he should look for some work for the slave (to earn
what would enable him to emancipate himself), without
overburdening him with work."
3.683:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (along with his companions)
reached Mecca in the morning of the fourth of Dhul−Hijja
assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when we arrived at Mecca, the
Prophet ordered us to change our intentions of the Ihram for
`Umra and that we could finish our Ihram after performing the
`Umra and could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The
people began talking about that. Jabir said surprisingly,
"Shall we go to Mina while semen is dribbling from our male
organs?" Jabir moved his hand while saying so. When this news
reached the Prophet he delivered a sermon and said, "I have
been informed that some peoples were saying so and so; By
Allah I fear Allah more than you do, and am more obedient to
Him than you. If I had known what I know now, I would not have
brought the Hadi (sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not been
with me, I would have finished the Ihram." At that Suraqa bin
Malik stood up and asked "O Allah's Apostle! Is this
permission for us only or is it forever?" The Prophet replied,
"It is forever." In the meantime `Ali bin Abu Talib came from
Yemen and was saying Labbaik for what the Prophet has
intended. (According to another man, `Ali was saying Labbaik
for Hajj similar to Allah's Apostle's). The Prophet told him
to keep on the Ihram and let him share the Hadi with him.
3.684:
Narrated Abaya bin Rifaa: My grandfather, Rafi` bin Khadij
said, "We were in the valley of Dhul−Hulaifa of Tuhama in the
company of the Prophet and had some camels and sheep (of the
booty). The people hurried (in slaughtering the animals) and
put their meat in the pots and started cooking. Allah's
Apostle came and ordered them to upset the pots, and
distributed the booty considering one camel as equal to ten
sheep. One of the camels fled and the people had only a few
horses, so they got worried. (The camel was chased and) a man
slopped the camel by throwing an arrow at it. Allah's Apostle
said, 'Some of these animals are untamed like wild animals, so
if anyone of them went out of your control, then you should
treat it as you have done now.' " My grandfather said, "O
Allah's Apostle! We fear that we may meet our enemy tomorrow
and we have no knives, could we slaughter the animals with
reeds?" The Prophet said, "Yes, or you can use what would make
blood flow (slaughter) and you can eat what is slaughtered and
the Name of Allah is mentioned at the time of slaughtering.
But don't use teeth or fingernails (in slaughtering). I will
tell you why, as for teeth, they are bones, and fingernails
are used by Ethiopians for slaughtering. (See Hadith 668)
