Narrated: Abu `Abdur-Rahman and Hibban bin ‘Atiyya had a dispute. Abu `Abdur-Rahman said to Hibban,
“You know what made your companions (i.e. `Ali) dare to shed blood.” Hibban said, “Come on! What
is that?” `Abdur-Rahman said, “Something I heard him saying.” The other said, “What was it?”
`AbdurRahman said, “`Ali said, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent for me, Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of
us were cavalry men, and said, ‘Proceed to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu ‘Awana called it
like this, i.e., Hajj where there is a woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta’a to the pagans
(of Mecca). So bring that letter to me.’ So we proceeded riding on our horses till we overtook her at
the same place of which Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had told us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter
Hatib had written to the Meccans about the proposed attached of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) against them. We
asked her, “Where is the letter which is with you?’ She replied, ‘I haven’t got any letter.’ So we made
her camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we did not find anything. My two companions
said, ‘We do not think that she has got a letter.’ I said, ‘We know that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) has not told a
lie.’”
Then `Ali took an oath saying, “By Him by Whom one should swear! You shall either bring out the
letter or we shall strip off your clothes.” She then stretched out her hand for her girdle (round her
waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They took the letter to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). `Umar said, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! (Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his neck!”
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “O Hatib! What obliged you to do what you have done?” Hatib replied, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Why (for what reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I intended
to do the (Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my family and property may be protected as there
is none of your companions but has some of his people (relatives) whom Allah urges to protect his
family and property.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “He has said the truth; therefore, do not say anything to him
except good.” `Umar again said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the
believers; let me chop his neck off!” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Isn’t he from those who fought the battle of
Badr? And what do you know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to them),
‘Do what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?’ ” On that, `Umar’s eyes became flooded with tears
and he said, “Allah and His Apostle know best.”

Narrated Anas: That Abu Bakr wrote for him, Zakat regulations which Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had made compulsory, and
wrote that one should neither collect various portions (of the property) nor divide the property into
various portions in order to avoid paying Zakat.

Narrated Abi Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to invoke Allah in his prayer, “O Allah! Save `Aiyash bin Abi Rabi`a and Salama
bin Hisham and Al-Walid bin Al-Walid; O Allah! Save the weak among the believers; O Allah! Be
hard upon the tribe of Mudar and inflict years (of famine) upon them like the (famine) years of
Joseph.”

Narrated Talha bin ‘Ubaidullah: A bedouin with unkempt hair came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Tell me what
Allah has enjoined on me as regards prayers.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “You have to offer perfectly the five
(compulsory) prayers in a day and a night (24 hrs.), except if you want to perform some extra optional
prayers.” The bedouin said, “Tell me what Allah has enjoined on me as regards fasting.” The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, “You have to observe fast during the month of Ramadan except if you fast some extra optional
fast.” The bedouin said, “Tell me what Allah has enjoined on me as regard Zakat.” The Prophet (ﷺ) then
told him the Islamic laws and regulations whereupon the bedouin said, “By Him Who has honored
you, I will not perform any optional deeds of worship and I will not leave anything of what Allah has
enjoined on me.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “He will be successful if he has told the truth (or he will enter
Paradise if he said the truth).” And some people said, “The Zakat for one-hundred and twenty camels
is two Hiqqas, and if the Zakat payer slaughters the camels intentionally or gives them as a present or
plays some other trick in order to avoid the Zakat, then there is no harm (in it) for him.

Narrated Anas: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever possesses the (following) three qualities will have the sweetness of
faith (1): The one to whom Allah and His Apostle becomes dearer than anything else; (2) Who loves a
person and he loves him only for Allah’s Sake; (3) who hates to revert to atheism (disbelief) as he
hates to be thrown into the Fire.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “On the Day of Resurrection the Kanz (Treasure or wealth of which, Zakat has
not been paid) of anyone of you will appear in the shape of a huge bald headed poisonous male snake
and its owner will run away from it, but it will follow him and say, ‘I am your Kanz.’” The Prophet (ﷺ)
added, “By Allah, that snake will keep on following him until he stretches out his hand and let the
snake swallow it.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) added, “If the owner of camels does not pay their Zakat, then, on
the Day of Resurrection those camels will come to him and will strike his face with their hooves.”
Some people said: Concerning a man who has camels, and is afraid that Zakat will be due so he sells
those camels for similar camels or for sheep or cows or money one day before Zakat becomes due in
order to avoid payment of their Zakat cunningly! “He has not to pay anything.” The same scholar said,
“If one pays Zakat of his camels one day or one year prior to the end of the year (by the end of which
Zakat becomes due), his Zakat will be valid.”

Narrated Qais: I heard Sa`id bin Zaid saying, “I have seen myself tied and forced by `Umar to leave Islam (Before
`Umar himself embraced Islam). And if the mountain of Uhud were to collapse for the evil which you
people had done to `Uthman, then Uhud would have the right to do so.” (See Hadith No. 202, Vol. 5)

Narrated `Aisha: A group of Jews asked permission to visit the Prophet (and when they were admitted) they said, “As-
Samu ‘Alaika (Death be upon you).” I said (to them), “But death and the curse of Allah be upon you!”
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O `Aisha! Allah is kind and lenient and likes that one should be kind and lenient in
all matters.” I said, “Haven’t you heard what they said?” He said, “I said (to them), ‘Wa ‘Alaikum (and
upon you).

Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “When the Jews greet anyone of you they say: ‘Sam’Alaika (death be upon you);
so you should say; ‘Wa ‘Alaika (and upon you).’”

Narrated `Abdullah: As if I am looking at the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was speaking about one of the prophets whose people have
beaten and wounded him, and he was wiping the blood off his face and saying, “O Lord! Forgive my,
people as they do not know.”
