Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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. "
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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)."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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).
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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.)
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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)".
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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)."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 675:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet established the right of Shu'fa (i.e. Pre-emption) in joint properties; but
when the land is divided and the ways are demarcated, then there is no pre-emption.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 676:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "The right of pre-emption 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."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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.' "
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 678:

work on it and cultivate it and take half of its yield.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 679:

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."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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).
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 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)
