Tag: Q n A, Bukhari

(the slave of Ibn `Abbas) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said to Mu`adh when he sent him to Yemen, “You will go to
the people of the Scripture. So, when you reach there, invite them to testify that none has the right to
be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle. And if they obey you in that, tell them
that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers in each day and night. And if they obey you in that tell
them that Allah has made it obligatory on them to pay the Zakat which will be taken from the rich
among them and given to the poor among them. If they obey you in that, then avoid taking the best of
their possessions, and be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person because there is no screen between
his invocation and Allah.”

We took part in the holy battle of Tabuk in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) and when we arrived at the
Wadi-al-Qura, there was a woman in her garden. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked his companions to estimate the
amount of the fruits in the garden, and Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) estimated it at ten Awsuq (One Wasaq = 60
Sa’s) and 1 Sa’= 3 kg. approximately). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to that lady, “Check what your garden will
yield.” When we reached Tabuk, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “There will be a strong wind tonight and so no one
should stand and whoever has a camel, should fasten it.” So we fastened our camels. A strong wind
blew at night and a man stood up and he was blown away to a mountain called Taiy, The King of Aila
sent a white mule and a sheet for wearing to the Prophet (ﷺ) as a present, and wrote to the Prophet (ﷺ) that his
people would stay in their place (and will pay Jizya taxation.) (1) When the Prophet (ﷺ) reached Wadi-al-
Qura he asked that woman how much her garden had yielded. She said, “Ten Awsuq,” and that was
what Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had estimated. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I want to reach Medina quickly, and
whoever among you wants to accompany me, should hurry up.” The sub-narrator Ibn Bakkar said
something which meant: When the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saw Medina he said, “This is Taba.” And when
he saw the mountain of Uhud, he said, “This mountain loves us and we love it. Shall I tell you of the
best amongst the Ansar?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “The family of Bani-n-Najjar, and
then the family of Bani Sa`ida or Bani Al-Harith bin Al-Khazraj. (The above-mentioned are the best)
but there is goodness in all the families of Ansar.”

Whenever a person came to the Prophet (ﷺ) with his alms, the Prophet (ﷺ) would
say, “O Allah! Send your Blessings upon so and so.” My father went to
the Prophet (ﷺ) with his alms and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Allah! Send your
blessings upon the offspring of Abu Aufa.”

Narrated Abu HurairaThe Prophet (ﷺ) said, “A man from Bani Israel asked someone from Bani
Israel to give him a loan of one thousand Dinars and the later gave it
to him. The debtor went on a voyage (when the time for the payment of
the debt became due) but he did not find a boat, so he took a piece of
wood and bored it and put 1000 diners in it and threw it into the sea.
The creditor went out and took the piece of wood to his family to be
used as fire-wood.” (See Hadith No. 488 B, Vol. 3). And the Prophet (ﷺ)
narrated the narration (and said), “When he sawed the wood, he found
his money.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “On a land irrigated by rain water or by natural water channels or if the land is wet
due to a near by water channel Ushr (i.e. one-tenth) is compulsory (as Zakat); and on the land irrigated
by the well, half of an Ushr (i.e. one-twentieth) is compulsory (as Zakat on the yield of the land).”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “There is no Zakat on less than five Awsuq (of dates), or on less than five camels, or
on less than five Awaq of silver.”

Dates used to be brought to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) immediately after being plucked. Different persons would
bring their dates till a big heap collected (in front of the Prophet). Once Al-Hasan and Al-Husain were
playing with these dates. One of them took a date and put it in his mouth. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) looked at
him and took it out from his mouth and said, “Don’t you know that Muhammad’s offspring do not eat
what is given in charity?”

The Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden the sale of dates till they were good (ripe), and when it was asked what it
meant, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Till there is no danger of blight.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) had forbidden the sale of fruits till they were ripe (free from blight).
