Narrated `Abdullah: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Do not wish to be like anybody except in two cases: The case of a man whom
Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and that of a man whom Allah has given
religious wisdom (i.e., Qur’an and Sunna) and he gives his verdicts according to it and teaches it.” (to
others i.e., religious knowledge of Qur’an and Sunna (Prophet’s Traditions)). ”

Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (ﷺ) did something as it was allowed from the religious point of view but some people
refrained from it. When the Prophet (ﷺ) heard of that, he, after glorifying and praising Allah, said, “Why
do some people refrain from doing something which I do? By Allah, I know Allah more than they.”

Narrated Al-Mughira bin Shu`ba: `Umar bin Al-Khattab asked (the people) about the Imlas of a woman, i.e., a woman who has an
abortion because of having been beaten on her `Abdomen, saying, “Who among you has heard
anything about it from the Prophet?” I said, “I did.” He said, “What is that?” I said, “I heard the
Prophet saying, “Its Diya (blood money) is either a male or a female slave.’ ” `Umar said, “Do not
leave till you present witness in support of your statement.” So I went out, and found Muhammad bin
Maslama. I brought him, and he bore witness with me that he had heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “Its Diya
(blood money) is either a male slave or a female slave.”

Narrated Ibn Abi Mulaika: Once the two righteous men, i.e., Abu Bakr and `Umar were on the verge of destruction (and that was
because): When the delegate of Bani Tamim came to the Prophet, one of them (either Abu Bakr or
`Umar) recommended Al-Aqra’ bin H`Abis at-Tamimi Al-Hanzali, the brother of Bani Majashi (to be
appointed as their chief), while the other recommended somebody else. Abu Bakr said to `Umar, “You
intended only to oppose me.” `Umar said, “I did not intend to oppose you!” Then their voices grew
louder in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) whereupon there was revealed: ‘O you who believe! Do not raise your
voices above the voice of the Prophet..a great reward.’ (49.2-3) Ibn Az-Zubair said, ‘Thence forward
when `Umar talked to the Prophet, he would talk like one who whispered a secret and would even fail
to make the Prophet (ﷺ) hear him, in which case the Prophet (ﷺ) would ask him (to repeat his words).

Narrated `Aisha: (the mother of believers) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) during his fatal ailment said, “Order Abu Bakr to lead the
people in prayer.” I said, “If Abu Bakr stood at your place (in prayers, the people will not be able to
hear him because of his weeping, so order `Umar to lead the people in prayer.” He again said, “Order
Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer ” Then I said to Hafsa, “Will you say (to the Prophet), ‘If Abu
Bakr stood at your place, the people will not be able to hear him be cause of his weeping, so order
`Umar to lead the people in prayer?” Hafsa did so, whereupon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “You are like the
companions of Joseph (See Qur’an, 12:30-32). Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer.” Hafsa
then said to me, “I have never received any good from you!”

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi: ‘Uwaimir Al-`Ajlani came to `Asim bin `Adi and said, “If a man found another man with his wife and
killed him, would you sentence the husband to death (in Qisas,) i.e., equality in punishment)? O
`Asim! Please ask Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about this matter on my behalf.” `Asim asked the Prophet (ﷺ) but the
Prophet disliked the question and disapproved of it. `Asim returned and informed ‘Uwaimir that the
Prophet disliked that type of question. ‘Uwaimir said, “By Allah, I will go (personally) to the Prophet.”
‘Uwaimir came to the Prophet (ﷺ) when Allah had already revealed Qur’anic Verses (in that respect), after
`Asim had left (the Prophet (ﷺ) ). So the Prophet (ﷺ) said to ‘Uwaimir, “Allah has revealed Qur’anic Verses
regarding you and your wife.” The Prophet (ﷺ) then called for them, and they came and carried out the
order of Lian.
Then ‘Uwaimir said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Now if I kept her with me, I would be accused of telling a
lie.” So ‘Uwaimir divorced her although the Prophet (ﷺ) did not order him to do so. Later on this practice
of divorcing became the tradition of couples involved in a case of Li’an. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the
people). “Wait for her! If she delivers a red short (small) child like a Wahra (a short red animal). then
I will be of the opinion that he (‘Uwaimir) has told a lie but if she delivered a black big-eyed one with
big buttocks, then I will be of the opinion that he has told the truth about her.” ‘Ultimately she gave
birth to a child that proved the accusation. (See Hadith No. 269, Vol. 6)

Narrated Malik bin Aus An-Nasri: I proceeded till I entered upon `Umar (and while I was sitting there), his gate-keeper Yarfa came to
him and said, ” `Uthman, `Abdur-Rahman, Az-Zubair and Sa`d ask your permission to come in.”
`Umar allowed them. So they entered, greeted, and sat down. (After a while the gatekeeper came) and
said, “Shall I admit `Ali and `Abbas?” `Umar allowed them to enter. Al-`Abbas said “O Chief of the
believers! Judge between me and the oppressor (`Ali).” Then there was a dispute (regarding the
property of Bani Nadir) between them (`Abbas and `Ali). `Uthman and his companions said, “O Chief
of the Believers! Judge between them and relieve one from the other.” `Umar said, “Be patient!
beseech you by Allah, with Whose permission the Heaven and the Earth Exist! Do you know that
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘Our property is not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be given in
charity,’ and by this Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) meant himself?” On that the group said, “He verily said so.”
`Umar then faced `Ali and `Abbas and said, “I beseech you both by Allah, do you both know that
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said so?” They both replied, “Yes”. `Umar then said, “Now I am talking to you about
this matter (in detail) . Allah favored Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) with some of this wealth which He did not give
to anybody else, as Allah said: ‘What Allah bestowed as Fai (Booty on His Apostle for which you
made no expedition… ‘ (59.6)
So that property was totally meant for Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), yet he did not collect it and ignore you, nor did
he withhold it with your exclusion, but he gave it to you and distributed it among you till this much of
it was left behind, and the Prophet, used to spend of this as the yearly expenditures of his family and
then take what remained of it and spent it as he did with (other) Allah’s wealth. The Prophet (ﷺ) did so
during all his lifetime, and I beseech you by Allah, do you know that?” They replied, “Yes.” `Umar
then addressed `Ali and `Abbas, saying, “I beseech you both by Allah, do you know that?” Both of
them replied, “Yes.” `Umar added, “Then Allah took His Apostle unto Him. Abu Bakr then said ‘I am
the successor of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)’ and took over all the Prophet’s property and disposed of it in the
same way as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to do, and you were present then.” Then he turned to `Ali and
`Abbas and said, “You both claim that Abu Bakr did so-and-so in managing the property, but Allah
knows that Abu Bakr was honest, righteous, intelligent, and a follower of what is right in managing it.
Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him, ‘I said: I am the successor of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr.’ So
I took over the property for two years and managed it in the same way as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and Abu
Bakr used to do. Then you both (`Ali and `Abbas) came to me and asked for the same thing! (O
`Abbas! You came to me to ask me for your share from nephew’s property; and this (`Ali) came to me
asking for his wives share from her father’s property, and I said to you both, ‘If you wish, I will place
it in your custody on condition that you both will manage it in the same way as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and
Abu Bakr did and as I have been doing since I took charge of managing it; otherwise, do not speak to
me anymore about it.’
Then you both said, ‘Give it to us on that (condition).’ So I gave it to you on that condition. Now I
beseech you by Allah, did I not give it to them on that condition?” The group (whom he had been
addressing) replied, “Yes.” `Umar then addressed `Abbas and `Ali saying, “I beseech you both by
Allah, didn’t I give you all that property on that condition?” They said, “Yes.” `Umar then said, “Are
you now seeking a verdict from me other than that? By Him with Whose Permission the Heaven and
the Earth exists I will not give any verdict other than that till the Hour is established; and if you both
are unable to manage this property, then you can hand it back to me, and I will be sufficient for it on
your behalf.” (See, Hadith No. 326, Vol. 4)

Narrated `Asim: I said to Anas, “Did Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) make Medina a sanctuary?” He replied, “Yes, (Medina is a
sanctuary from such-and-such place to such-and-such place. It is forbidden to cut its trees, and
whoever innovates an heresy in it or commits a sin therein, will incur the curse of Allah, the angels,
and all the people.” Then Musa bin Anas told me that Anas added, “….. or gives refuge to such an
heretic or a sinner…”

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “Allah will not deprive you of knowledge after he has given it to you, but
it will be taken away through the death of the religious learned men with their knowledge. Then there
will remain ignorant people who, when consulted, will give verdicts according to their opinions
whereby they will mislead others and go astray.”

Narrated Al-A`mash: I asked Abu Wail, “Did you witness the battle of Siffin between `Ali and Muawiya?” He said, “Yes,”
and added, “Then I heard Sahl bin Hunaif saying, ‘O people! Blame your personal opinions in your
religion. No doubt, I remember myself on the day of Abi Jandal; if I had the power to refuse the order
of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), I would have refused it.
We have never put our swords on our shoulders to get involved in a situation that might have been
horrible for us, but those swords brought us to victory and peace, except this present situation.’ ” Abu
Wail said, “I witnessed the battle of Siffin, and how nasty Siffin was!”
