Conditions
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 874:
Narrated Marwan and al-Miswar
bin Makhrama:
(from the companions of
Allah's Apostle) When Suhail bin Amr agreed to the Treaty (of
Hudaibiya), one of the things he stipulated then, was that the Prophet
should return to them (i.e. the pagans) anyone coming to him from
their side, even if he was a Muslim; and would not interfere between
them and that person. The Muslims did not like this condition and got
disgusted with it. Suhail did not agree except with that condition.
So, the Prophet agreed to that condition and returned Abu Jandal to
his father Suhail bin 'Amr. Thenceforward the Prophet returned
everyone in that period (of truce) even if he was a Muslim. During
that period some believing women emigrants including Um Kalthum bint
Uqba bin Abu Muait who came to Allah's Apostle and she was a young
lady then. Her relative came to the Prophet and asked him to return
her, but the Prophet did not return her to them for Allah had revealed
the following Verse regarding women:
"O you who believe! When
the believing women come to you as emigrants. Examine them, Allah
knows best as to their belief, then if you know them for true
believers, Send them not back to the unbelievers, (for) they are not
lawful (wives) for the disbelievers, Nor are the unbelievers lawful
(husbands) for them (60.10)
Narrated 'Urwa: Aisha
told me, "Allah's Apostle used to examine them according to this
Verse: "O you who believe! When the believing women come to you, as
emigrants test them . . . for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
(60.10-12) Aisha said, "When any of them agreed to that condition
Allah's Apostle would say to her, 'I have accepted your pledge of
allegiance.' He would only say that, but, by Allah he never touched
the hand of any women (i.e. never shook hands with them) while taking
the pledge of allegiance and he never took their pledge of allegiance
except by his words (only)."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 875:
Narrated Jarir:
When I gave the pledge of
allegiance to Allah's Apostle and he stipulated that I should give
good advice to every Muslim.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 876:
Narrated Jabir bin
'Abdullah:
I gave the pledge of
allegiance to Allah's Apostle for offering the prayers perfectly
paying the Zakat and giving good advice to every Muslim.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 877:
Narrated Abdullah bin
Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "If
someone sells pollinated date-palms, their fruits will be for the
seller, unless the buyer stipulates the contrary."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 878:
Narrated Urwa:
Aisha told me that
Buraira came to seek her help in writing for emancipation and at that
time she had not paid any part of her price. 'Aisha said to her, "Go
to your masters and if they agree that I will pay your price (and free
you) on condition that your Wala' will be for me, I will pay the
money." Buraira told her masters about that, but they refused, and
said, "If 'Aisha wants to do a favor she could, but your Wala will be
for us." Aisha informed Allah's Apostle of that and he said to her,
"Buy and manumit Buraira as the Wala' will go to the manumitted."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 879:
Narrated Jabir:
While I was riding a
(slow) and tired camel, the Prophet passed by and beat it and prayed
for Allah's Blessings for it. The camel became so fast as it had never
been before. The Prophet then said, "Sell it to me for one Uqiyya (of
gold)." I said, "No." He again said, "Sell it to me for one Uqiyya (of
gold)." I sold it and stipulated that I should ride it to my house.
When we reached (Medina) I took that camel to the Prophet and he gave
me its price. I returned home but he sent for me (and when I went to
him) he said, "I will not take your camel. Take your camel as a gift
for you." (Various narrations are mentioned here with slight
variations in expressions relating the condition that Jabir had the
right to ride the sold camel up to Medina).
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 880:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Ansar said to the
Prophet, "Divide our date-palms between us and our emigrant brothers."
The Prophet said, "No." The Ansar said to the emigrants, "You may do
the labor (in our gardens) and we will share the fruits with you." The
emigrants said, "We hear and obey."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 881:
Narrated Abdullah bin
Umar:
Allah's Apostle gave the
land of Khaibar to the Jews on the condition that they would work on
it and cultivate it and they would get half of its yield.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 882:
Narrated Uqba bin Amir:
Allah's Apostle said,
"From among all the conditions which you have to fulfill, the
conditions which make it legal for you to have sexual relations (i.e.
the marriage contract) have the greatest right to be fulfilled."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 883:
Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
We used to work on the
fields more than the other Ansar, and we used to rent the land (for
the yield of a specific portion of it). But sometimes that portion or
the rest of the land did not give any yield, so we were forbidden (by
the Prophet ) to follow such a system, but we were allowed to rent the
land for money.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 884:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "No
town-dweller should sell for a bedouin. Do not practice Najsh (i.e. Do
not offer a high price for a thing which you do not want to buy, in
order to deceive the people). No Muslim should offer more for a thing
already bought by his Muslim brother, nor should he demand the hand of
a girl already engaged to another Muslim. A Muslim woman shall not try
to bring about The divorce of her sister (i.e. another Muslim woman)
in order to take her place herself."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 885:
Narrated Abu Huraira and
Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
A bedouin came to Allah's
Apostle and said, "O Allah's apostle! I ask you by Allah to judge My
case according to Allah's Laws." His opponent, who was more learned
than he, said, "Yes, judge between us according to Allah's Laws, and
allow me to speak." Allah's Apostle said, "Speak." He (i .e. the
bedouin or the other man) said, "My son was working as a laborer for
this (man) and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife.
The people told me that it was obligatory that my son should be stoned
to death, so in lieu of that I ransomed my son by paying one hundred
sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the religious scholars about it,
and they informed me that my son must be lashed one hundred lashes,
and be exiled for one year, and the wife of this (man) must be stoned
to death." Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I
will judge between you according to Allah's Laws. The slave-girl and
the sheep are to be returned to you, your son is to receive a hundred
lashes and be exiled for one year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this
(man) and if she confesses her guilt, stone her to death." Unais went
to that woman next morning and she confessed. Allah's Apostle ordered
that she be stoned to death.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 886:
Narrated Aiman Al-Makki:
rs had stipulated that
her Wala would be for them.' The Prophet said,
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 887:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle forbade
(1) the meeting of the caravan (of goods) on the way, (2) and that a
residing person buys for a bedouin, (3) and that a woman stipulates
the divorce of the wife of the would-be husband, (4) and that a man
tries to cause the cancellation of a bargain concluded by another. He
also forbade An-Najsh (see Hadith 824) and that one withholds the milk
in the udder of the animal so that he may deceive people on selling
it.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 888:
Narrated Ubai bin Kab:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Moses the Apostle of Allah," and then he narrated the whole story
about him. Al-Khadir said to Moses, "Did not I tell you that you can
have no patience with me." (18.72). Moses then violated the agreement
for the first time because of forgetfulness, then Moses promised that
if he asked Al-Khadir about anything, the latter would have the right
to desert him. Moses abided by that condition and on the third
occasion he intentionally asked Al-Khadir and caused that condition to
be applied. The three occasions referred to above are referred to by
the following Verses:
"Call me not to account
for forgetting And be not hard upon me." (18.73)
"Then they met a boy and
Khadir killed him." (18.74)
"Then they proceeded and
found a wall which was on the verge of falling and Khadir set it up
straight." (18.77)
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 889:
Narrated Urwa:
Aisha said, "Buraira came
to me and said, 'My people (masters) have written the contract for my
emancipation for nine Awaq ) of gold) to be paid in yearly
installments, one Uqiyya per year; so help me." Aisha said (to her),
"If your masters agree, I will pay them the whole sum provided the
Wala will be for me." Buraira went to her masters and told them about
it, but they refused the offer and she returned from them while
Allah's Apostles was sitting. She said, "I presented the offer to
them, but they refused unless the Wala' would be for them." When the
Prophet heard that and 'Aisha told him about It, he said to her, "Buy
Buraira and let them stipulate that her Wala' will be for them, as the
Wala' is for the manumitted." 'Aisha did so. After that Allah's
Apostle got up amidst the people, Glorified and Praised Allah and
said, "What is wrong with some people who stipulate things which are
not in Allah's Laws? Any condition which is not in Allah's Laws is
invalid even if there were a hundred such conditions. Allah's Rules
are the most valid and Allah's Conditions are the most solid. The Wala
is for the manumitted."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 890:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
When the people of
Khaibar dislocated Abdullah bin Umar's hands and feet, Umar got up
delivering a sermon saying, "No doubt, Allah's Apostle made a contract
with the Jews concerning their properties, and said to them, 'We allow
you (to stand in your land) as long as Allah allows you.' Now Abdullah
bin Umar went to his land and was attacked at night, and his hands and
feet were dislocated, and as we have no enemies there except those
Jews, they are our enemies and the only people whom we suspect, I have
made up my mind to exile them." When Umar decided to carry out his
decision, a son of Abu Al-Haqiq's came and addressed 'Umar, "O chief
of the believers, will you exile us although Muhammad allowed us to
stay at our places, and made a contract with us about our properties,
and accepted the condition of our residence in our land?" 'Umar said,
"Do you think that I have forgotten the statement of Allah's Apostle,
i.e.: What will your condition be when you are expelled from Khaibar
and your camel will be carrying you night after night?" The Jew
replied, "That was joke from Abu-l-Qasim." 'Umar said, "O the enemy of
Allah! You are telling a lie." 'Umar then drove them out and paid them
the price of their properties in the form of fruits, money, camel
saddles and ropes, etc."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 891:
Narrated Al-Miswar bin
Makhrama and Marwan:
(whose narrations attest
each other) Allah's Apostle set out at the time of Al-Hudaibiya
(treaty), and when they proceeded for a distance, he said, "Khalid bin
Al-Walid leading the cavalry of Quraish constituting the front of the
army, is at a place called Al-Ghamim, so take the way on the right."
By Allah, Khalid did not perceive the arrival of the Muslims till the
dust arising from the march of the Muslim army reached him, and then
he turned back hurriedly to inform Quraish. The Prophet went on
advancing till he reached the Thaniyya (i.e. a mountainous way)
through which one would go to them (i.e. people of Quraish). The
she-camel of the Prophet sat down. The people tried their best to
cause the she-camel to get up but in vain, so they said, "Al-Qaswa'
(i.e. the she-camel's name) has become stubborn! Al-Qaswa' has become
stubborn!" The Prophet said, "Al-Qaswa' has not become stubborn, for
stubbornness is not her habit, but she was stopped by Him Who stopped
the elephant." Then he said, "By the Name of Him in Whose Hands my
soul is, if they (i.e. the Quraish infidels) ask me anything which
will respect the ordinances of Allah, I will grant it to them."
The Prophet then rebuked
the she-camel and she got up. The Prophet changed his way till he
dismounted at the farthest end of Al-Hudaibiya at a pit (i.e. well)
containing a little water which the people used in small amounts, and
in a short while the people used up all its water and complained to
Allah's Apostle; of thirst. The Prophet took an arrow out of his
arrow-case and ordered them to put the arrow in that pit. By Allah,
the water started and continued sprouting out till all the people
quenched their thirst and returned with satisfaction. While they were
still in that state, Budail bin Warqa-al-Khuza'i came with some
persons from his tribe Khuza'a and they were the advisers of Allah's
Apostle who would keep no secret from him and were from the people of
Tihama. Budail said, "I left Kab bin Luai and 'Amir bin Luai residing
at the profuse water of Al-Hudaibiya and they had milch camels (or
their women and children) with them, and will wage war against you,
and will prevent you from visiting the Kaba." Allah's Apostle said,
"We have not come to fight anyone, but to perform the 'Umra. No doubt,
the war has weakened Quraish and they have suffered great losses, so
if they wish, I will conclude a truce with them, during which they
should refrain from interfering between me and the people (i.e. the
'Arab infidels other than Quraish), and if I have victory over those
infidels, Quraish will have the option to embrace Islam as the other
people do, if they wish; they will at least get strong enough to
fight. But if they do not accept the truce, by Allah in Whose Hands my
life is, I will fight with them defending my Cause till I get killed,
but (I am sure) Allah will definitely make His Cause victorious."
Budail said, "I will inform them of what you have said." So, he set
off till he reached Quraish and said, "We have come from that man
(i.e. Muhammad) whom we heard saying something which we will disclose
to you if you should like." Some of the fools among Quraish shouted
that they were not in need of this information, but the wiser among
them said, "Relate what you heard him saying." Budail said, "I heard
him saying so-and-so," relating what the Prophet had told him.
Urwa bin Mas'ud got up
and said, "O people! Aren't you the sons? They said, "Yes." He added,
"Am I not the father?" They said, "Yes." He said, "Do you mistrust
me?" They said, "No." He said, "Don't you know that I invited the
people of 'Ukaz for your help, and when they refused I brought my
relatives and children and those who obeyed me (to help you)?" They
said, "Yes." He said, "Well, this man (i.e. the Prophet) has offered
you a reasonable proposal, you'd better accept it and allow me to meet
him." They said, "You may meet him." So, he went to the Prophet and
started talking to him. The Prophet told him almost the same as he had
told Budail. Then Urwa said, "O Muhammad! Won't you feel any scruple
in extirpating your relations? Have you ever heard of anyone amongst
the Arabs extirpating his relatives before you? On the other hand, if
the reverse should happen, (nobody will aid you, for) by Allah, I do
not see (with you) dignified people, but people from various tribes
who would run away leaving you alone." Hearing that, Abu Bakr abused
him and said, "Do you say we would run and leave the Prophet alone?"
Urwa said, "Who is that man?" They said, "He is Abu Bakr." Urwa said
to Abu Bakr, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, were it not for the
favor which you did to me and which I did not compensate, I would
retort on you." Urwa kept on talking to the Prophet and seizing the
Prophet's beard as he was talking while Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba was
standing near the head of the Prophet, holding a sword and wearing a
helmet. Whenever Urwa stretched his hand towards the beard of the
Prophet, Al-Mughira would hit his hand with the handle of the sword
and say (to Urwa), "Remove your hand from the beard of Allah's
Apostle." Urwa raised his head and asked, "Who is that?" The people
said, "He is Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba." Urwa said, "O treacherous! Am I
not doing my best to prevent evil consequences of your treachery?"
Before embracing Islam
Al-Mughira was in the company of some people. He killed them and took
their property and came (to Medina) to embrace Islam. The Prophet said
(to him, "As regards your Islam, I accept it, but as for the property
I do not take anything of it. (As it was taken through treason). Urwa
then started looking at the Companions of the Prophet. By Allah,
whenever Allah's Apostle spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of
one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his
face and skin; if he ordered them they would carry his orders
immediately; if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the
remaining water; and when they spoke to him, they would lower their
voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect. Urwa
returned to his people and said, "O people! By Allah, I have been to
the kings and to Caesar, Khosrau and An-Najashi, yet I have never seen
any of them respected by his courtiers as much as Muhammad is
respected by his companions. By Allah, if he spat, the spittle would
fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who
would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered them, they would
carry out his order immediately; if he performed ablution, they would
struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke, they would
lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of
respect." Urwa added, "No doubt, he has presented to you a good
reasonable offer, so please accept it." A man from the tribe of Bani
Kinana said, "Allow me to go to him," and they allowed him, and when
he approached the Prophet and his companions, Allah's Ap le I said,
"He is so-and-so who belongs to the tribe that respects the Budn (i.e.
camels of the sacrifice). So, bring the Budn in front of him." So, the
Budn were brought before him and the people received him while they
were reciting Talbiya. When he saw that scene, he said, "Glorified be
Allah! It is not fair to prevent these people from visiting the
Ka'ba." When he returned to his people, he said, 'I saw the Budn
garlanded (with colored knotted ropes) and marked (with stabs on their
backs). I do not think it is advisable to prevent them from visiting
the Ka'ba." Another person called Mikraz bin Hafs got up and sought
their permission to go to Muhammad, and they allowed him, too. When he
approached the Muslims, the Prophet said, "Here is Mikraz and he is a
vicious man." Mikraz started talking to the Prophet and as he was
talking, Suhail bin Amr came.
When Suhail bin Amr came,
the Prophet said, "Now the matter has become easy." Suhail said to the
Prophet "Please conclude a peace treaty with us." So, the Prophet
called the clerk and said to him, "Write: By the Name of Allah, the
most Beneficent, the most Merciful." Suhail said, "As for
'Beneficent,' by Allah, I do not know what it means. So write: By Your
Name O Allah, as you used to write previously." The Muslims said, "By
Allah, we will not write except: By the Name of Allah, the most
Beneficent, the most Merciful." The Prophet said, "Write: By Your Name
O Allah." Then he dictated, "This is the peace treaty which Muhammad,
Allah's Apostle has concluded." Suhail said, "By Allah, if we knew
that you are Allah's Apostle we would not prevent you from visiting
the Kaba, and would not fight with you. So, write: "Muhammad bin
Abdullah." The Prophet said, "By Allah! I am Apostle of Allah even if
you people do not believe me. Write: Muhammad bin Abdullah." (Az-Zuhri
said, "The Prophet accepted all those things, as he had already said
that he would accept everything they would demand if it respects the
ordinance of Allah, (i.e. by letting him and his companions perform
'Umra.)" The Prophet said to Suhail, "On the condition that you allow
us to visit the House (i.e. Ka'ba) so that we may perform Tawaf around
it." Suhail said, "By Allah, we will not (allow you this year) so as
not to give chance to the 'Arabs to say that we have yielded to you,
but we will allow you next year." So, the Prophet got that written.
Then Suhail said, "We
also stipulate that you should return to us whoever comes to you from
us, even if he embraced your religion." The Muslims said, "Glorified
be Allah! How will such a person be returned to the pagans after he
has become a Muslim? While they were in this state Abu- Jandal bin
Suhail bin 'Amr came from the valley of Mecca staggering with his
fetters and fell down amongst the Muslims. Suhail said, "O Muhammad!
This is the very first term with which we make peace with you, i.e.
you shall return Abu Jandal to me." The Prophet said, "The peace
treaty has not been written yet." Suhail said, "I will never allow you
to keep him." The Prophet said, "Yes, do." He said, "I won't do.:
Mikraz said, "We allow you (to keep him)." Abu Jandal said, "O
Muslims! Will I be returned to the pagans though I have come as a
Muslim? Don't you see how much I have suffered?"
Abu Jandal had been
tortured severely for the Cause of Allah. Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "I
went to the Prophet and said, 'Aren't you truly the Apostle of Allah?'
The Prophet said, 'Yes, indeed.' I said, 'Isn't our Cause just and the
cause of the enemy unjust?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why should
we be humble in our religion?' He said, 'I am Allah's Apostle and I do
not disobey Him, and He will make me victorious.' I said, 'Didn't you
tell us that we would go to the Ka'ba and perform Tawaf around it?' He
said, 'Yes, but did I tell you that we would visit the Ka'ba this
year?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'So you will visit it and perform Tawaf
around it?' " Umar further said, "I went to Abu Bakr and said, 'O Abu
Bakr! Isn't he truly Allah's Prophet?' He replied, 'Yes.' I said,
'Then why should we be humble in our religion?' He said, 'Indeed, he
is Allah's Apostle and he does not disobey his Lord, and He will make
him victorious. Adhere to him as, by Allah, he is on the right.' I
said, 'Was he not telling us that we would go to the Kaba and perform
Tawaf around it?' He said, 'Yes, but did he tell you that you would go
to the Ka'ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, "You will go to Ka'ba
and perform Tawaf around it." (Az-Zuhri said, " 'Umar said, 'I
performed many good deeds as expiation for the improper questions I
asked them.' ")
When the writing of the
peace treaty was concluded, Allah's Apostle said to his companions,
"Get up and' slaughter your sacrifices and get your head shaved." By
Allah none of them got up, and the Prophet repeated his order thrice.
When none of them got up, he left them and went to Um Salama and told
her of the people's attitudes towards him. Um Salama said, "O the
Prophet of Allah! Do you want your order to be carried out? Go out and
don't say a word to anybody till you have slaughtered your sacrifice
and call your barber to shave your head." So, the Prophet went out and
did not talk to anyone of them till he did that, i.e. slaughtered the
sacrifice and called his barber who shaved his head. Seeing that, the
companions of the Prophet got up, slaughtered their sacrifices, and
started shaving the heads of one another, and there was so much rush
that there was a danger of killing each other. Then some believing
women came (to the Prophet ); and Allah revealed the following Divine
Verses:--
"O you who believe, when
the believing women come to you as emigrants examine them . . ."
(60.10)
Umar then divorced two
wives of his who were infidels. Later on Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan
married one of them, and Safwan bin Umaya married the other. When the
Prophet returned to Medina, Abu Basir, a new Muslim convert from
Quraish came to him. The Infidels sent in his pursuit two men who said
(to the Prophet ), "Abide by the promise you gave us." So, the Prophet
handed him over to them. They took him out (of the City) till they
reached Dhul-Hulaifa where they dismounted to eat some dates they had
with them. Abu Basir said to one of them, "By Allah, O so-and-so, I
see you have a fine sword." The other drew it out (of the scabbard)
and said, "By Allah, it is very fine and I have tried it many times."
Abu Bair said, "Let me have a look at it."
When the other gave it to
him, he hit him with it till he died, and his companion ran away till
he came to Medina and entered the Mosque running. When Allah's Apostle
saw him he said, "This man appears to have been frightened." When he
reached the Prophet he said, "My companion has been murdered and I
would have been murdered too." Abu Basir came and said, "O Allah's
Apostle, by Allah, Allah has made you fulfill your obligations by your
returning me to them (i.e. the Infidels), but Allah has saved me from
them." The Prophet said, "Woe to his mother! what excellent war
kindler he would be, should he only have supporters." When Abu Basir
heard that he understood that the Prophet would return him to them
again, so he set off till he reached the seashore. Abu Jandal bin
Suhail got himself released from them (i.e. infidels) and joined Abu
Basir. So, whenever a man from Quraish embraced Islam he would follow
Abu Basir till they formed a strong group. By Allah, whenever they
heard about a caravan of Quraish heading towards Sham, they stopped it
and attacked and killed them (i.e. infidels) and took their
properties. The people of Quraish sent a message to the Prophet
requesting him for the Sake of Allah and Kith and kin to send for
(i.e. Abu Basir and his companions) promising that whoever (amongst
them) came to the Prophet would be secure. So the Prophet sent for
them (i.e. Abu Basir's companions) and Allah I revealed the following
Divine Verses:
"And it is He Who Has
withheld their hands from you and your hands From them in the midst of
Mecca, After He made you the victorious over them. . . . the
unbelievers had pride and haughtiness, in their hearts . . . the pride
and haughtiness of the time of ignorance." (48.24-26) And their pride
and haughtiness was that they did not confess (write in the treaty)
that he (i.e. Muhammad) was the Prophet of Allah and refused to write:
"In the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the Most Merciful," and
prevented the Mushriks from visiting the Ka'ba.
Narrated Az-Zuhri: Urwa
said, "Aisha told me that Allah's Apostle used to examine the women
emigrants. We have been told also that when Allah revealed the order
that the Muslims should return to the pagans what they had spent on
their wives who emigrated (after embracing Islam) and that the
Mushriks should not. keep unbelieving women as their wives, 'Umar
divorced two of his wives, Qariba, the daughter of Abu Urhaiya and the
daughter of Jarwal Al-Khuza'i. Later on Mu'awlya married Qariba and
Abu Jahm married the other."
When the pagans refused
to pay what the Muslims had spent on their wives, Allah revealed: "And
if any of your wives have gone from you to the unbelievers and you
have an accession (By the coming over of a woman from the other side)
(Then pay to those whose wives have gone) The equivalent of what they
had spent (On their Mahr)." (60.11)
So, Allah ordered that
the Muslim whose wife, has gone, should be given, as a compensation of
the Mahr he had given to his wife, from the Mahr of the wives of the
pagans who had emigrated deserting their husbands.
We do not know any of the
women emigrants who deserted Islam after embracing it. We have also
been told that Abu Basir bin Asid Ath-Thaqafi came to the Prophet as a
Muslim emigrant during the truce. Al-Akhnas bin Shariq wrote to the
Prophet requesting him to return Abu Basir.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 892:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle mentioned
a person who asked an Israeli man to lend him one-thousand Dinars, and
the Israeli lent him the sum for a certain fixed period.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 893:
Narrated Amra:
Aisha said that Buraira
came to seek her help in the writing of her emancipation. 'Aisha said
to her, "If you wish, I will pay your masters (your price) and the
wala' will be for me." When Allah's Apostle came, she told him about
it. The Prophet said to her, "Buy her (i.e. Buraira) and manumit her,
for the Wala is for the one who manumits." Then Allah's Apostle
ascended the pulpit and said, "What about those people who stipulate
conditions which are not in Allah's Laws? Whoever stipulates such
conditions as are not in Allah's Laws, then those conditions are
invalid even if he stipulated a hundred such conditions."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,
"Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever
knows them will go to Paradise." (Please see Hadith No. 419 Vol. 8)
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 895:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Umar bin Khattab got some
land in Khaibar and he went to the Prophet to consult him about it
saying, "O Allah' Apostle got some land in Khaibar better than which I
have never had, what do you suggest that I do with it?" The Prophet
said, "If you like you can give the land as endowment and give its
fruits in charity." So Umar gave it in charity as an endowment on the
condition that would not be sold nor given to anybody as a present and
not to be inherited, but its yield would be given in charity to the
poor people, to the Kith and kin, for freeing slaves, for Allah's
Cause, to the travelers and guests; and that there would be no harm if
the guardian of the endowment ate from it according to his need with
good intention, and fed others without storing it for the future."
