The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Allah does not accept prayer of anyone of you if he does Hadath (passes wind) till
he performs the ablution (anew).

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim. So he should neither oppress him nor
hand him over to an oppressor. And whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his
needs.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Help your brother whether he is an oppressor or an oppressed,” A man said, “O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! I will help him if he is oppressed, but if he is an oppressor, how shall I help him?”
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “By preventing him from oppressing (others), for that is how to help him.”

“A governmental male-slave tried to seduce a slave-girl from the Khumus of the war booty till he deflowered her by force against her will; therefore ‘Umar flogged him according to the law, and exiled him, but he did not flog the female slave because the male-slave had committed illegal sexual intercourse by force, against her will.”

Az-Zuhri said regarding a virgin slave-girl raped by a free man: The judge has to fine the adulterer as much money as is equal to the price of the female slave and the adulterer has to be flogged (according to the Islamic Law); but if the slave woman is a matron, then, according to the verdict of the Imam, the adulterer is not fined but he has to receive the legal punishment (according to the Islamic Law).

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “(The Prophet) Abraham migrated with his wife Sarah till he reached a town
where there was a king or a tyrant who sent a message, to Abraham, ordering him to send Sarah to
him. So when Abraham had sent Sarah, the tyrant got up, intending to do evil with her, but she got up
and performed ablution and prayed and said, ‘O Allah ! If I have believed in You and in Your Apostle,
then do not empower this oppressor over me.’ So he (the king) had an epileptic fit and started moving
his legs violently. ”

A man from the Ansar made his slave, a Mudabbar. And apart from that slave he did not have any
other property. This news reached Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and he said, “Who will buy that slave from me?” So
Nu’aim bin An-Nahham bought him for 800 Dirham. Jabir added: It was a coptic (Egyptian) slave
who died that year.

Regarding the Qur’anic Verse: ‘O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their
will.’ (4.19) The custom (in the Pre-lslamic Period) was that if a man died, his relatives used to have
the right to inherit his wife, and if one of them wished, he could marry her, or they could marry her to
somebody else, or prevent her from marrying if they wished, for they had more right to dispose of her
than her own relatives. Therefore this Verse was revealed concerning this matter.

That her father gave her in marriage when she was a matron and she disliked that marriage. So she
came and (complained) to the Prophets and he declared that marriage invalid. (See Hadith No. 69,
Vol. 7)

I asked the Prophet, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Should the women be asked for their consent to their
marriage?” He said, “Yes.” I said, “A virgin, if asked, feels shy and keeps quiet.” He said, “Her silence
means her consent.”

We complained to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (about our state) while he was leaning against his sheet cloak in the
shade of the Ka`ba. We said, “Will you ask Allah to help us? Will you invoke Allah for us?” He said,
“Among those who were before you a (believer) used to be seized and, a pit used to be dug for him
and then he used to be placed in it. Then a saw used to be brought and put on his head which would be
split into two halves. His flesh might be combed with iron combs and removed from his bones, yet, all
that did not cause him to revert from his religion. By Allah! This religion (Islam) will be completed
(and triumph) till a rider (traveler) goes from San`a’ (the capital of Yemen) to Hadramout fearing
nobody except Allah and the wolf lest it should trouble his sheep, but you are impatient.” (See Hadith
No. 191, Vol. 5)
