Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: A bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! What are the biggest sins?: The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, “To join others in worship with Allah.” The bedouin said, “What is next?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “To
be undutiful to one’s parents.” The bedouin said “What is next?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said “To take an oath
‘Al-Ghamus.” The bedouin said, “What is an oath ‘Al-Ghamus’?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The false oath
through which one deprives a Muslim of his property (unjustly).

Narrated `Abdullah: When the Verse:–‘Those who believe and did not confuse their belief with wrong (worshipping others
besides Allah).’ (6.82) was revealed, it was hard on the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) and they said,
“Who among us has not wronged (oppressed) himself?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The meaning of the
Verse is not as you think, but it is as Luqman said to his son, ‘O my son! Join not in worship others
with Allah, Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed.’” (31.13)

Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: A man said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we be punished for what we did in the Prelslamic Period of
ignorance?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever does good in Islam will not be punished for what he did in
the Pre-lslamic Period of ignorance and whoever does evil in Islam will be punished for his former
and later (bad deeds).

Narrated `Ikrima: Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to `Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn
`Abbas who said, “If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) forbade
it, saying, ‘Do not punish anybody with Allah’s punishment (fire).’ I would have killed them according
to the statement of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), ‘Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him.’”

Narrated Abu Burda: Abu Musa said, “I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) along with two men (from the tribe) of Ash`ariyin, one on my
right and the other on my left, while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was brushing his teeth (with a Siwak), and both
men asked him for some employment. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘O Abu Musa (O `Abdullah bin Qais!).’ I
said, ‘By Him Who sent you with the Truth, these two men did not tell me what was in their hearts and
I did not feel (realize) that they were seeking employment.’ As if I were looking now at his Siwak
being drawn to a corner under his lips, and he said, ‘We never (or, we do not) appoint for our affairs
anyone who seeks to be employed. But O Abu Musa! (or `Abdullah bin Qais!) Go to Yemen.’” The
Prophet then sent Mu`adh bin Jabal after him and when Mu`adh reached him, he spread out a cushion
for him and requested him to get down (and sit on the cushion). Behold: There was a fettered man
beside Abu Muisa. Mu`adh asked, “Who is this (man)?” Abu Muisa said, “He was a Jew and became a
Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism.” Then Abu Muisa requested Mu`adh to sit down but
Mu`adh said, “I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and His Apostle
(for such cases) and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was
killed. Abu Musa added, “Then we discussed the night prayers and one of us said, ‘I pray and sleep,
and I hope that Allah will reward me for my sleep as well as for my prayers.’”

Narrated Abu Huraira: When the Prophet (ﷺ) died and Abu Bakr became his successor and some of the Arabs reverted to
disbelief, `Umar said, “O Abu Bakr! How can you fight these people although Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘I
have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,
‘and whoever said, ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’, Allah will save his property and
his life from me, unless (he does something for which he receives legal punishment) justly, and his
account will be with Allah?’ “Abu Bakr said, “By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between
prayers and Zakat as Zakat is the right to be taken from property (according to Allah’s Orders). By
Allah! If they refused to pay me even a kid they used to pay to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), I would fight with
them for withholding it.” `Umar said, “By Allah: It was nothing, but I noticed that Allah opened Abu
Bakr’s chest towards the decision to fight, therefore I realized that his decision was right.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik: A Jew passed by Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “As-Samu ‘Alaika.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said in reply, “We
‘Alaika.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) then said to his companions, “Do you know what he (the Jew) has said? He
said, ‘As-Samu ‘Alaika.’” They said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we kill him?” The Prophet, said, “No.
When the people of the Book greet you, say: ‘Wa ‘Alaikum.’”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Two women from Hudhail fought with each other and one of them hit the other with a stone that
killed her and what was in her womb. The relatives of the killer and the relatives of the victim
submitted their case to the Prophet (ﷺ) who judged that the Diya for the fetus was a male or female slave,
and the Diya for the killed woman was to be paid by the ‘Asaba (near relatives) of the killer.

Narrated `Abdul-`Aziz: Anas said, “When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) arrived at Medina, Abu Talha took hold of my hand and brought
me to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Anas is an intelligent boy, so let him serve you.”
Anas added, “So I served the Prophet (ﷺ) L at home and on journeys; by Allah, he never said to me for
anything which I did: Why have you done this like this or, for anything which I did not do: ‘Why have
you not done this like this?”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “There is no Diya for persons killed by animals or for the one who has been
killed accidentally by falling into a well or for the one killed in a mine. And one-fifth of Rikaz
(treasures buried before the Islamic era) is to be given to the state.”
