Narrated Abu Haraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “A lady slave should not be given in marriage until she is consulted, and a virgin
should not be given in marriage until her permission is granted.” The people said, “How will she
express her permission?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By keeping silent (when asked her consent).” Some
people said, “If a man, by playing a trick, presents two false witnesses before the judge to testify that
he has married a matron with her consent and the judge confirms his marriage, and the husband is sure
that he has never married her (before), then such a marriage will be considered as a legal one and he
may live with her as husband.”

Narrated `Aisha: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “It is essential to have the consent of a virgin (for the marriage). I said, “A virgin
feels shy.” The Prophet; said, “Her silence means her consent.” Some people said, “If a man falls in
love with an orphan slave girl or a virgin and she refuses (him) and then he makes a trick by bringing
two false witnesses to testify that he has married her, and then she attains the age of puberty and
agrees to marry him and the judge accepts the false witness and the husband knows that the witnesses
were false ones, he may consummate his marriage.”

Narrated `Aisha: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to like sweets and also used to like honey, and whenever he finished the `Asr
prayer, he used to visit his wives and stay with them. Once he visited Hafsa and remained with her
longer than the period he used to stay, so I enquired about it. It was said to me, “A woman from her
tribe gave her a leather skin containing honey as a present, and she gave some of it to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
to drink.” I said, “By Allah, we will play a trick on him.” So I mentioned the story to Sauda (the wife
of the Prophet) and said to her, “When he enters upon you, he will come near to you whereupon you
should say to him, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Have you eaten Maghafir?’ He will say, ‘No.’ Then you say to
him, ‘What is this bad smell? ‘ And it would be very hard on Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) that a bad smell should be
found on his body. He will say, ‘Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.’ Then you should say to him,
‘Its bees must have sucked from the Al-`Urfut (a foul smelling flower).’ I too, will tell him the same.
And you, O Saifya, say the same.”
So when the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon Sauda (the following happened). Sauda said, “By Him except
Whom none has the right to be worshipped, I was about to say to him what you had told me to say
while he was still at the gate because of fear from you. But when Allah ‘s Apostle came near to me, I
said to him, ‘O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Have you eaten Maghafir?’ He replied, ‘No.’ I said, ‘What about this
smell?’ He said, ‘Hafsa has given me a drink of honey.’ I said, ‘Its bees must have sucked Al-`Urfut.’ ”
When he entered upon me, I told him the same as that, and when he entered upon Safiya, she too told
him the same. So when he visited Hafsa again, she said to him, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I give you a
drink of it (honey)?” He said, “I have no desire for it.” Sauda said, Subhan Allah! We have deprived
him of it (honey).” I said to her, “Be quiet!”

Narrated `Abdullah bin ‘Amir bin Rabi`a: `Umar bin Al-Khattab left for Sham, and when he reached a placed called Sargh, he came to know
that there was an outbreak of an epidemic (of plague) in Sham. Then `AbdurRahman bin `Auf told
him that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If you hear the news of an outbreak of an epidemic (plague) in a
certain place, do not enter that place: and if the epidemic falls in a place while you are present in it, do
not leave that place to escape from the epidemic.” So `Umar returned from Sargh.

Narrated ‘Amir bin Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas: That he heard Usama bin Zaid speaking to Sa`d, saying, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) mentioned the plague and
said, ‘It is a means of punishment with which some nations were punished and some of it has
remained, and it appears now and then. So whoever hears that there is an outbreak of plague in some
land, he should not go to that land, and if the plague breaks out in the land where one is already
present, one should not run away from that land, escaping from the plague.”

Narrated Ibn Abbas: Sa’d bin ‘Ubada Al-Ansari sought the verdict of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
regarding a vow made by his mother who had died before fulfilling it.
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Fulfill it on her behalf.” Some people said,
“If the number of camels reaches twenty, then their owner has to pay
four sheep as Zakat; and if their owner gives them as a gift or sells
them in order to escape the payment of Zakat cunningly before the
completion of a year, then he is not to pay anything, and if he
slaughters them and then dies, then no Zakat is to be taken from his
property.”

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The one who takes back his gift is like a dog swallowing its own vomit, and we
(believers) should not act according to this bad example.”

Narrated Khabbab bin Al-Art: We complained to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (about our state) while he was leaning against his sheet cloak in the
shade of the Ka`ba. We said, “Will you ask Allah to help us? Will you invoke Allah for us?” He said,
“Among those who were before you a (believer) used to be seized and, a pit used to be dug for him
and then he used to be placed in it. Then a saw used to be brought and put on his head which would be
split into two halves. His flesh might be combed with iron combs and removed from his bones, yet, all
that did not cause him to revert from his religion. By Allah! This religion (Islam) will be completed
(and triumph) till a rider (traveler) goes from San`a’ (the capital of Yemen) to Hadramout fearing
nobody except Allah and the wolf lest it should trouble his sheep, but you are impatient.” (See Hadith
No. 191, Vol. 5)

Narrated Abu Huraira: While we were in the mosque, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came out to us and said, “Let us proceed to the Jews.”
So we went along with him till we reached Bait-al-Midras (a place where the Torah used to be recited
and all the Jews of the town used to gather). The Prophet (ﷺ) stood up and addressed them, “O Assembly
of Jews! Embrace Islam and you will be safe!” The Jews replied, “O Aba-l-Qasim! You have
conveyed Allah’s message to us.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “That is what I want (from you).” He repeated his
first statement for the second time, and they said, “You have conveyed Allah’s message, O Aba-l-
Qasim.” Then he said it for the third time and added, “You should Know that the earth belongs to
Allah and His Apostle, and I want to exile you fro,,, this land, so whoever among you owns some
property, can sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle.”
(See Hadith No. 392, Vol. 4)

Narrated Khansa’ bint Khidam Al-Ansariya: That her father gave her in marriage when she was a matron and she disliked that marriage. So she
came and (complained) to the Prophets and he declared that marriage invalid. (See Hadith No. 69,
Vol. 7)
