Once, while I was in the
company of the Prophet, he saw the mountain of Uhud and said, "I would
not like to have this mountain turned into gold for me unless nothing
of it, not even a single Dinar remains of it with me for more than
three days (i.e. I will spend all of it in Allah's Cause), except that
Dinar which I will keep for repaying debts." Then he said, "Those who
are rich in this world would have little reward in the Hereafter
except those who spend their money here and there (in Allah's Cause),
and they are few in number." Then he ordered me to stay at my place
and went not far away. I heard a voice and intended to go to him but I
remembered his order, "Stay at your place till I return." On his
return I said, "O Allah's Apostle! (What was) that noise which I
heard?" He said, "Did you hear anything?" I said, "Yes." He said,
"Gabriel came and said to me, 'Whoever amongst your followers dies,
worshipping none along with Allah, will enter Paradise.' " I said,
"Even if he did such-and-such things (i.e. even if he stole or
committed illegal sexual intercourse)" He said, "Yes."

A man demanded his debts
from Allah's Apostle in such a rude manner that the companions of the
Prophet intended to harm him, but the Prophet said, "Leave him, no
doubt, for he (the creditor) has the right to demand it (harshly). Buy
a camel and give it to him." They said, "The camel that is available
is older than the camel he demands. "The Prophet said, "Buy it and
give it to him, for the best among you are those who repay their debts
handsomely. "
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 576:

I heard the Prophet
saying, "Once a man died and was asked, 'What did you use to say (or
do) (in your life time)?' He replied, 'I was a business-man and used

older camel (than what he demands). (The Prophet ordered them to give
him that camel). The man said, "You have paid me in full and may Allah
also pay you in full." Allah's Apostle said, "Give him, for the best
amongst the people is he who repays his debts in the most handsome
manner."
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 578:

same age but found nothing but a camel one year older. The Prophet
told them to give it to him. The man said, "You have paid me in full,
and may Allah pay you in full." The Prophet said, "The best amongst
you is he who pays his debts in the most handsome manner."
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 579:
Narrated Jabir bin
Abdullah:
I went to the Prophet
while he was in the Mosque. (Mis'ar thinks, that Jabir went in the

the debt he owed me and gave me an extra amount.
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 580:
Narrated Jabir bin
'Abdullah:
My father was martyred on
the day (of the battle) of Uhud, and he was in debt. His creditors
demanded their rights persistently. I went to the Prophet (and
informed him about it). He told them to take the fruits of my garden
and exempt my father from the debts but they refused to do so. So, the
Prophet did not give them my garden and told me that he would come to
me the next morning. He came to us early in the morning and wandered
among the datepalms and invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I then
plucked the dates and paid the creditors, and there remained some of
the dates for us.
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 581:
Narrated Jabir bin
'Abdullah:
When my father died he
owed a Jew thirty Awsuq (of dates). I requested him to give me respite
for repaying but he refused. I requested Allah's Apostle to intercede
with the Jew. Allah's Apostle went to the Jew and asked him to accept
the fruits of my trees in place of the debt but the Jew refused.
Allah's Apostle entered the garden of the date-palms, wandering among
the trees and ordered me (saying), "Pluck (the fruits) and give him
his due." So, I plucked the fruits for him after the departure of
Allah's Apostle and gave his thirty Awsuq, and still had seventeen
Awsuq extra for myself. Jabir said: I went to Allah's Apostle to
inform of what had happened, but found him praying the 'Asr prayer.
After the prayer I told him about the extra fruits which remained.
Allah's Apostle told me to inform (Umar) Ibn Al-Khatab about it. When
I went to 'Umar and told him about it, 'Umar said, "When Allah's
Apostle walked in your garden, I was sure that Allah would definitely
bless it."
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 582:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle used to
invoke Allah in the prayer saying, "O Allah, I seek refuge with you
from all sins, and from being in debt." Someone said, O Allah's
Apostle! (I see you) very often you seek refuge with Allah from being
in debt. He replied, "If a person is in debt, he tells lies when he
speaks, and breaks his promises when he promises."
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 583:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "If
someone leaves some property, it will be for the inheritors, and if he
leaves some weak offspring, it will be for us to support them."
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 584:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "I am
closer to the believers than their selves in this world and in the
Hereafter, and if you like, you can read Allah's Statement: "The
Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves." (33.6) So,
if a true believer dies and leaves behind some property, it will be
for his inheritors (from the father's side), and if he leaves behind
some debt to be paid or needy offspring, then they should come to me
as I am the guardian of the deceased."

Volume 3, Book 41, Number 588:
Narrated Jabir bin
'Abdullah:
A man pledged that his
slave would be manumitted after his death. The Prophet asked, "Who
will buy the slave from me?" No'aim bin 'Abdullah bought the slave and
the Prophet took its price and gave it to the owner.
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 589:
Narrated Jabir:
When 'Abdullah (my
father) died, he left behind children and debts. I asked the lenders
to put down some of his debt, but they refused, so I went to the
Prophet to intercede with them, yet they refused. The Prophet said (to
me), "Classify your dates into their different kinds: 'Adhq bin Zaid,
Lean and 'Ajwa, each kind alone and call all the creditors and wait
till I come to you." I did so and the Prophet came and sat beside the
dates and started measuring to each his due till he paid them fully,
and the amount of dates remained as it was before, as if he had not
touched them.
(On another occasion) I
took part in one of Ghazawat among with the Prophet and I was riding
one of our camels. The camel got tired and was lagging behind the
others. The Prophet hit it on its back. He said, "Sell it to me, and
you have the right to ride it till Medina.'' When we approached
Medina, I took the permission from the Prophet to go to my house,
saying, "O Allah's Apostle! I have newly married." The Prophet asked,
"Have you married a virgin or a matron (a widow or divorcee)?" I said,
"I have married a matron, as 'Abdullah (my father) died and left
behind daughters small in their ages, so I married a matron who may
teach them and bring them up with good manners." The Prophet then said
(to me), "Go to your family." When I went there and told my maternal
uncle about the selling of the camel, he admonished me for it. On that
I told him about its slowness and exhaustion and about what the
Prophet had done to the camel and his hitting it. When the Prophet
arrived, I went to him with the camel in the morning and he gave me
its price, the camel itself, and my share from the war booty as he
gave the other people.
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 590:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
A man came to the Prophet
and said, "I am often betrayed in bargaining." The Prophet advised
him, "When you buy something, say (to the seller), 'No deception." The
man used to say so afterwards.
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 591:
Narrated Al-Mughira bin
Shu'ba:
The Prophet said, "Allah
has forbidden for you, (1) to be undutiful to your mothers, (2) to
bury your daughters alive, (3) to not to pay the rights of the others
(e.g. charity, etc.) and (4) to beg of men (begging). And Allah has
hated for you (1) vain, useless talk, or that you talk too much about
others, (2) to ask too many questions, (in disputed religious matters)
and (3) to waste the wealth (by extravagance).
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 592:
Narrated Abdullah bin
'Umar:
I heard Allah's Apostle
saying, "Everyone of you is a guardian, and responsible for what is in
his custody. The ruler is a guardian of his subjects and responsible
for them; a husband is a guardian of his family and is responsible for
it; a lady is a guardian of her husband's house and is responsible for
it, and a servant is a guardian of his master's property and is
responsible for it." I heard that from Allah's Apostle and I think
that the Prophet also said, "A man is a guardian of is father's
property and is responsible for it, so all of you are guardians and
responsible for your wards and things under your care."
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 593:

I heard a man reciting a
verse (of the Holy Qur'an) but I had heard the Prophet reciting it
differently. So, I caught hold of the man by the hand and took him to
Allah's Apostle who said, "Both of you are right." Shu'ba, the
sub-narrator said, "I think he said to them, "Don't differ, for the
nations before you differed and perished (because of their
differences). "
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 594:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Two persons, a Muslim and
a Jew, quarrelled. The Muslim said, "By Him Who gave Muhammad
superiority over all the people! The Jew said, "By Him Who gave Moses
superiority over all the people!" At that the Muslim raised his hand
and slapped the Jew on the face. The Jew went to the Prophet and
informed him of what had happened between him and the Muslim. The
Prophet sent for the Muslim and asked him about it. The Muslim
informed him of the event. The Prophet said, "Do not give me
superiority over Moses, for on the Day of Resurrection all the people
will fall unconscious and I will be one of them, but I will. be the
first to gain consciousness, and will see Moses standing and holding
the side of the Throne (of Allah). I will not know whether (Moses) has
also fallen unconscious and got up before me, or Allah has exempted
him from that stroke."

Narrated Abu Said
Al-Khudri:
While Allah's Apostle was
sitting, a Jew came and said, "O Abul Qasim! One of your companions
has slapped me on my face." The Prophet asked who that was. He replied
that he was one of the Ansar. The Prophet sent for him, and on his
arrival, he asked him whether he had beaten the Jew. He (replied in
the affirmative and) said, "I heard him taking an oath in the market
saying, 'By Him Who gave Moses superiority over all the human beings.'
I said, 'O wicked man! (Has Allah given Moses superiority) even over
Muhammad I became furious
and slapped him over his
face." The Prophet said, "Do not give a prophet superiority over
another, for on the Day of Resurrection all the people will fall
unconscious and I will be the first to emerge from the earth, and will
see Moses standing and holding one of the legs of the Throne. I will
not know whether Moses has fallen unconscious or the first
unconsciousness was sufficient for him."
Volume 3, Book 41, Number 596:

between two stones.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin
Mas'ud:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Whoever takes a false oath so as to take the property of a Muslim
(illegally) will meet Allah while He will be angry with him."
Al-Ash'ath said: By Allah, that saying concerned me. I had common land
with a Jew, and the Jew later on denied my ownership, so I took him to
the Prophet who asked me whether I had a proof of my ownership. When I
replied in the negative, the Prophet asked the Jew to take an oath. I
said, "O Allah's Apostle! He will take an oath and deprive me of my
property." So, Allah revealed the following verse: "Verily! Those who
purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their
oaths." (3.77)

Ka'b replied, "Labaik, O Allah's Apostle." (He said to him), "Reduce

done so, O Allah's Apostle!" On that the Prophet said to Ibn Abi
Hadrad, "Get up and repay the debt, to him."

Narrated 'Umar bin
Al-Khattab:
I heard Hisham bin Hakim
bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to that of mine.
Allah's Apostle had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was
about to quarrel with him (during the prayer) but I waited till he
finished, then I tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it
and brought him to Allah's Apostle and said, "I have heard him
reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to the way you taught it
to me." The Prophet ordered me to release him and asked Hisham to
recite it. When he recited it, Allah s Apostle said, "It was revealed
in this way." He then asked me to recite it. When I recited it, he
said, "It was revealed in this way. The Qur'an has been revealed in
seven different ways, so recite it in the way that is easier for you."

return (to Mecca), I should search for the son of the slave-girl of
Zam'a and take him into my custody as he was his son." 'Abu bin Zam'a
said, 'the is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father,
and was born or my father's bed." The Prophet noticed a resemblance
between Utba and the boy but he said, "O 'Abu bin Zam'a! You will get
this boy, as the son goes to the owner of the bed. You, Sauda, screen
yourself from the boy."

horsemen to Najd and they arrested and brought a man called Thumama
bin Uthal, the chief of Yamama, and they fastened him to one of the

never disbelieve Muhammad till Allah let you die and then resurrect
you." He said, "Then wait till I die and come to life again, for then
I will be given property and offspring and will pay your right." So,
thus revelation came: "Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our signs
and yet says, 'I will be given property and offspring?' " (19.77)
