When Abu Taiba cupped the Prophet (ﷺ) and the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that he be paid one or two Sas of
foodstuff and he interceded with his masters to reduce his taxes.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah did not send any prophet but shepherded sheep.” His companions asked him,
“Did you do the same?” The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, “Yes, I used to shepherd the sheep of the people of
Mecca for some Qirats.”

When the Prophet (ﷺ) was cupped, he paid the man who cupped him his wages.

The Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr employed a (pagan) man from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dail and the tribe of
Bani ‘Abu bin `Adi as a guide. He was an expert guide and he broke the oath contract which he had to
abide by with the tribe of Al-`Asi bin Wail and he was on the religion of Quraish pagans. The Prophet (ﷺ)
and Abu Bakr had confidence in him and gave him their riding camels and told him to bring them to
the Cave of Thaur after three days. So, he brought them their two riding camels after three days and
both of them (The Prophet (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr) set out accompanied by ‘Amir bin Fuhaira and the Dili
guide who guided them below Mecca along the road leading to the sea-shore.

(the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr hired a man from the tribe of Bani-Ad-Dil as
an expert guide who was a pagan (follower of the religion of the pagans of Quraish). The Prophet (ﷺ) and
Abu Bakr gave him their two riding camels and took a promise from him to bring their riding camels
in the morning of the third day to the Cave of Thaur.

I fought in Jaish-al-Usra (Ghazwa of Tabuk) along with the Prophet (ﷺ) and in my opinion that was the
best of my deeds. Then I had an employee, who quarrel led with someone and one of the them bit and
cut the other’s finger and caused his own tooth to fall out. He then went to the Prophet (with a
complaint) but the Prophet (ﷺ) canceled the suit and said to the complainant, “Did you expect him to let
his finger in your mouth so that you might snap and cut it (as does a stallion camel)?”
Narrated Ibn Juraij from `Abdullah bin Abu Mulaika from his grandfather a similar story: A man bit
the hand of another man and caused his own tooth to fall out, but Abu Bakr judged that he had no
right for compensation (for the broken tooth).

I asked Ibn `Umar about Salam for dates. Ibn `Umar replied, “The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the sale (the fruits)
of date-palms until they were fit for eating and also forbade the sale of silver for gold on credit.” I also
asked Ibn `Abbas about it. Ibn `Abbas replied, “The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade the sale of dates till they were fit
for eating, and could be weighed.” I asked him, “What is to be weighed (as the dates are on the
trees)?” A man sitting by Ibn `Abbas said, “It means till they are cut and stored.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) bought some foodstuff (barley) from a Jew on credit and mortgaged his iron armor to
him (the armor stands for a guarantor).

We argued at Ibrahim’s dwelling place about mortgaging in Salam. He said, “Aisha said, ‘The Prophet (ﷺ)
bought some foodstuff from a Jew on credit and the payment was to be made by a definite period, and
he mortgaged his iron armor to him.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to Medina and the people used to pay in advance the prices of fruits to be delivered
within two to three years. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to them), “Buy fruits by paying their prices in advance on
condition that the fruits are to be delivered to you according to a fixed specified measure within a
fixed specified period.” Ibn Najih said, ” … by specified measure and specified weight.”
