Aisha said that Barirah came to seek her help in the writing of her emancipation. `Aisha said to her,
“If you wish, I will pay your masters (your price) and the wala’ will be for me.” When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
came, she told him about it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, “Buy her (i.e. Barirah) and manumit (free) her, for the
Wala is for the one who manumits.” Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit and said, “What about
those people who stipulate conditions which are not in Allah’s Laws? Whoever stipulates such
conditions as are not in Allah’s Laws, then those conditions are invalid even if he stipulated a hundred
such conditions.”

The Ansar said to the Prophet, “Divide our date-palms between us and our emigrant brothers.” The
Prophet said, “No.” The Ansar said to the emigrants, “You may do the labor (in our gardens) and we
will share the fruits with you.” The emigrants said, “We hear and obey.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah has ninety-nine names, i.e. one-hundred minus one, and whoever knows
them will go to Paradise.” (Please see Hadith No. 419 Vol. 8)

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) gave the land of Khaibar to the Jews on the condition that they would work on it and
cultivate it and they would get half of its yield.

Umar bin Khattab got some land in Khaibar and he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) to consult him about it saying, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) I got some land in Khaibar better than which I have never had, what do you suggest that I do with it?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “If you like you can give the land as endowment and give its fruits in charity.” So `Umar gave it in charity as an endowment on the condition that would not be sold nor given to anybody as a present and not to be inherited, but its yield would be given in charity to the poor people, to the Kith and kin, for freeing slaves, for Allah’s Cause, to the travelers and guests; and that there would be no harm if the guardian of the endowment ate from it according to his need with good intention, and fed others without storing it for the future.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “From among all the conditions which you have to fulfill, the conditions which
make it legal for you to have sexual relations (i.e. the marriage contract) have the greatest right to be
fulfilled.”

We used to work on the fields more than the other Ansar, and we used to rent the land (for the yield of
a specific portion of it). But sometimes that portion or the rest of the land did not give any yield, so we
were forbidden (by the Prophet (ﷺ) ) to follow such a system, but we were allowed to rent the land for
money.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “No town-dweller should sell for a bedouin. Do not practice Najsh (i.e. Do not offer
a high price for a thing which you do not want to buy, in order to deceive the people). No Muslim
should offer more for a thing already bought by his Muslim brother, nor should he demand the hand of
a girl already engaged to another Muslim. A Muslim woman shall not try to bring about The divorce
of her sister (i.e. another Muslim woman) in order to take her place herself.”

A bedouin came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “O Allah’s apostle! I ask you by Allah to judge My case
according to Allah’s Laws.” His opponent, who was more learned than he, said, “Yes, judge between
us according to Allah’s Laws, and allow me to speak.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Speak.” He (i .e. the
bedouin or the other man) said, “My son was working as a laborer for this (man) and he committed
illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me that it was obligatory that my son should
be stoned to death, so in lieu of that I ransomed my son by paying one hundred sheep and a slave girl.
Then I asked the religious scholars about it, and they informed me that my son must be lashed one
hundred lashes, and be exiled for one year, and the wife of this (man) must be stoned to death.”
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I will judge between you according to
Allah’s Laws. The slave-girl and the sheep are to be returned to you, your son is to receive a hundred
lashes and be exiled for one year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses her
guilt, stone her to death.” Unais went to that woman next morning and she confessed. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
ordered that she be stoned to death.
