Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani: A bedouin came and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Judge between us according to Allah’s Book (Laws).”
His opponent stood up and said, “He has said the truth, so judge between us according to Allah’s
Laws.” The bedouin said, “My son was a laborer for this man and committed illegal sexual intercourse
with his wife. The people said to me, ‘Your son is to be stoned to death,’ so I ransomed my son for one
hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the religious learned men and they said to me, ‘Your son
has to receive one hundred lashes plus one year of exile.’ ” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I shall judge between
you according to Allah’s Book (Laws)! As for the slave girl and the sheep, it shall be returned to you,
and your son shall receive one-hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. O you, Unais!” The Prophet (ﷺ)
addressed some man, “Go in the morning to the wife of this man and stone her to death.” So Unais
went to her the next morning and stoned her to death.

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: A bedouin gave the Pledge of allegiance to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) for Islam. Then the bedouin got fever at
Medina, came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Cancel my Pledge,” But Allah’s
Apostle refused. Then he came to him (again) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Cancel my Pledge.” But
the Prophet (ﷺ) refused Then he came to him (again) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Cancel my Pledge.”
But the Prophet (ﷺ) refused. The bedouin finally went out (of Medina) whereupon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said,
“Medina is like a pair of bellows (furnace): It expels its impurities and brightens and clears its good.

Kharija bin Zaid bin Thabit said that Zaid bin Thabit said, “The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered me to learn the writing of the Jews. I even wrote letters for the Prophet (ﷺ) (to the Jews) and also read their letters when they wrote to him.” And ‘Umar said in the presence of ‘Ali, ‘Abdur-Rahman, and ‘Uthman, “What is this woman saying?” (the woman was non-Arab) ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Hatib said: “She is informing you about her companion who has committed illegal sexual intercourse with her.” Abu Jamra said, “I was an interpreter between Ibn ‘Abbas and the people.” Some people said, “A ruler should have two interpreters.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “There will be three types of people whom Allah will neither speak to them on
the Day of Resurrection nor will purify them from sins, and they will have a painful punishment: They
are, (1) a man possessed superfluous water (more than he needs) on a way and he withholds it from
the travelers. (2) a man who gives a pledge of allegiance to an Imam (ruler) and gives it only for
worldly benefits, if the Imam gives him what he wants, he abides by his pledge, otherwise he does not
fulfill his pledge; (3) and a man who sells something to another man after the `Asr prayer and swears
by Allah (a false oath) that he has been offered so much for it whereupon the buyer believes him and
buys it although in fact, the seller has not been offered such a price.” (See Hadith No. 838, Vol. 3)

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: That Abu Sufyan bin Harb told him that Heraclius had called him along with the members of a
Quraish caravan and then said to his interpreter, “Tell them that I want to ask this (Abu Sufyan) a
question, and if he tries to tell me a lie, they should contradict him.” Then Abu Sufyan mentioned the
whole narration and said that Heraclius said to the inter Peter, “Say to him (Abu Sufyan), ‘If what you
say is true, then he (the Prophet) will take over the place underneath my two feet.’ ”

Narrated ‘Ubada bin As-Samit: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said to us while we were in a gathering, “Give me the oath (Pledge of allegiance for:
(1) Not to join anything in worship along with Allah, (2) Not to steal, (3) Not to commit illegal sexual
intercourse, (4) Not to kill your children, (5) Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an
accusation among people), (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deeds. The Prophet (ﷺ)
added: Whoever amongst you fulfill his pledge, his reward will be with Allah, and whoever commits
any of those sins and receives the legal punishment in this world for that sin, then that punishment will
be an expiation for that sin, and whoever commits any of those sins and Allah does not expose him,
then it is up to Allah if He wishes He will punish him or if He wishes, He will forgive him.” So we
gave the Pledge for that. (See Hadith No. 17, Vol. 1)

Narrated Abu Humaid As-Sa`idi: The Prophet (ﷺ) employed Ibn Al-Utbiyya to collect Zakat from Bani Sulaim, and when he returned (with
the money) to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) the Prophet (ﷺ) called him to account, and he said, “This (amount) is for
you, and this was given to me as a present.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Why don’t you stay at your father’s
house or your mother’s house to see whether you will be given gifts or not, if you are telling the
truth?” Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stood up and addressed the people, and after glorifying and praising
Allah, he said: Amma Ba’du (then after) I employ some men from among you for some job which
Allah has placed in my charge, and then one of you comes to me and says, ‘This (amount) is for you
and this is a gift given to me.’ Why doesn’t he stay at the house of his father or the house of his mother
and see whether he will be given gifts or not if he was telling the truth by Allah, none of you takes
anything of it (i.e., Zakat) for himself (Hisham added: unlawfully) but he will meet Allah on the Day
of Resurrection carrying it on his neck! I do not want to see any of you carrying a grunting camel or a
mooing cow or a bleating sheep on meeting Allah.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) raised both his hands till I saw
the whiteness of his armpits, and said, “(No doubt)! Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s Message!”

Narrated `Aisha: Hind (bint `Utba) said to the Prophet (ﷺ) “Abu Sufyan is a miserly man and I need to take some money of
his wealth.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Take reasonably what is sufficient for you and your children ”

Narrated Um Salama: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) heard some people quarreling at the door of his dwelling, so
he went out to them and said, “I am only a human being, and litigants with cases of dispute come to
me, and someone of you may happen to be more eloquent (in presenting his case) than the other,
whereby I may consider that he is truthful and pass a judgment in his favor. If ever I pass a judgment
in favor of somebody whereby he takes a Muslim’s right unjustly, then whatever he takes is nothing
but a piece of Fire, and it is up to him to take or leave.”

Narrated `Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) `Utba bin Abi Waqqas said to his brother Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas, “The son of
the slave girl of Zam`a is from me, so take him into your custody.” So in the year of Conquest of
Mecca, Sa`d took him and said. (This is) my brother’s son whom my brother has asked me to take into
my custody.” `Abd bin Zam`a got up before him and said, (He is) my brother and the son of the slave
girl of my father, and was born on my father’s bed.” So they both submitted their case before Allah’s
Apostle. Sa`d said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! This boy is the son of my brother and he entrusted him to me.”
`Abd bin Zam`a said, “This boy is my brother and the son of the slave girl of my father, and was born
on the bed of my father.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The boy is for you, O `Abd bin Zam`a!” Then Allah’s
Apostle further said, “The child is for the owner of the bed, and the stone is for the adulterer,” He then
said to Sauda bint Zam`a, “Veil (screen) yourself before him,” when he saw the child’s resemblance to
`Utba. The boy did not see her again till he met Allah.
