When ‘Uthman (ra) was circled (by the rebels), he looked upon them from above and said, “Ias you by Allah, I ask nobody but the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ), dont you know that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘Whoever will (buy and) dig the well of Ruma will be granted Paradise,’ and I (bought and) dug it? Don’t you know that he said. ‘Whoever equip the army of ‘Usra (i.e., Tabuk’s Ghazwa) will be granted Paradise,’ and I equipped it ?” They attested whatever he said.
When ‘Umar founded his endowment he said, “Its administrator can eat from it.” The management of the endowment can be taken over by the founder himself or any other person, for both cases are permissible.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the
Hereafter) would wish to come back to this world even if he were given
the whole world and whatever is in it, except the martyr who, on
seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to the
world and get killed again (in Allah’s Cause).”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said (at the time of building the Mosque), “O Ban, An-Najjar! Suggest to me a price for
your garden.” They replied, “We do not ask its price except from Allah.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “A single endeavor (of fighting) in
Allah’s Cause in the afternoon or in the forenoon is better than all
the world and whatever is in it. A place in Paradise as small as the
bow or lash of one of you is better than all the world and whatever is
in it. And if a houri from Paradise appeared to the people of the
earth, she would fill the space between Heaven and the Earth with
light and pleasant scent and her head cover is better than the world
and whatever is in it.”

Ibn ‘Abbas (ra) said, “A man from the tribe of Bani Sahm went out in the company of Tamim Ad-Dari and ‘Adi bin Badda’. The man of Bani Sahm died in a land where there was no Muslim. When Tamim and ‘Adi returned conveying the property of the deceased, they claimed that they had lost a silver bowl with gold engraving. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) made them take an oath (to confirm their claim), and then the bowl was found in Makkah with some people who claimed that they had bought it from Tamim and ‘Adu, Then two witnesses from the relatives of the deceased got up and swore that their witnesses were more valid than the witnesses of ‘Adi and Tamim, and that the bowl belonged to their deceased fellow. So, this verse was revealed in connection with this case ; ‘O you who believe! When death approached any of you …’,” (V 5:106)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the
believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I
would certainly never remain behind any Sariya’ (army-unit) setting out in Allah’s Cause. By Him in
Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and
then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again
and then get martyred.

The following Verse:–
“If a guardian is well-off, let him claim no remuneration (i.e. wages), but if he is poor, let him have for
himself what is just and reasonable.” (4.6)
was revealed in connection with the guardian of an orphan, and it means that if he is poor he can have
for himself (from the orphan’s wealth) what is just and reasonable according to the orphan’s share of
the inheritance.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Avoid the seven great destructive sins.” The people enquire, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!
What are they? “He said, “To join others in worship along with Allah, to practice sorcery, to kill the
life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause, (according to Islamic law), to eat up Riba
(usury), to eat up an orphan’s wealth, to give back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the
time of fighting, and to accuse, chaste women, who never even think of anything touching chastity
and are good believers.

“Ibn ‘Umar never refused to be appointed as guardian.” The most beloved thing to Ibn Sirin concerning an orphan’s wealth was that the orphan’s advisor and guardians would assemble to decide what is best for him. When Tawus was asked about something concerning an orphan’s affairs, he would recite: ‘…And Allah knows him who means mischief from him who means good…’ (V 2:220). ‘Ata said concerning some orphans, “The guardian is to provide for the young and the old orphans according to their needs from their shares.”

When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to Medina; he did not have any servant. Abu Talha (Anas’ step-father)
took me to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Anas is a wise boy, so let him serve you.”
So, I served him at home and on journeys. If I did anything, he never asked me why I did it, and if I
refrained from doing anything, he never asked me why I refrained from doing it.
