of the Prophet's companions on the way to Mecca. Allah's
Apostle was ahead of us. All of my companions were in the
state of Ihram while I was a non-Muhrim. They saw an
onager while I was busy repairing my shoes, so they did
not tell me about it but they wished I had seen it. By
chance I looked up and saw it. So, I turned to the horse,
saddled it and rode on it, forgetting to take the spear
and the whip. I asked them if they could hand over to me
the whip and the spear but they said, 'No, by Allah, we
shall not help you in that in any way.' I became angry and
got down from the horse, picked up both the things and
rode the horse again. I attacked the onager and
slaughtered it, and brought it (after it had been dead).
They took it (cooked some of it) and started eating it,
but they doubted whether it was allowed for them to eat it
or not, as they were in the state of Ihram. So, we
proceeded and I hid with me one of its fore-legs. When we
met Allah's Apostle and asked him about the case, he
asked, 'Do you have a portion of it with you?' I replied
in the affirmative and gave him that fleshy fore-leg which
he ate completely while he was in the state of Ihram .

'Umar in front of him and a bedouin on his right side.
When Allah's Apostle finished, 'Umar said to Allah's
Apostle "Here is Abu Bakr." But Allah's Apostle gave the
remaining milk to the bedouin and said twice, "The
(persons on the) right side! So, start from the right
side." Anas added, "It is a Sunna (the Prophet's
traditions)" and repeated it thrice.

that. (The sub-narrator asked Anas, "Did the Prophet; eat
from it?" Anas replied, "He ate from it.")

Apostle."

Wala' is for the liberator." Once Buraira was given some
meat, and the Prophet asked, "What is this?" I said, "It
has been given to Buraira in charity." He said, "It is
sadaqa for her but a gift for us." Buraira was given the
option (to stay with her husband or to part with him).
AbdurRahman (a sub-narrator) wondered, "Was her husband a
slave or a free man?" Shu'ba (another sub-narrator) said,

a slave or a free man."

The people used to send gifts to the Prophet on the day

about it. So I informed the Prophet about it on their
behalf, but he remained silent.
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 755:
Narrated 'Urwa from 'Aisha:
The wives of Allah's Apostle were in two groups. One
group consisted of 'Aisha, Hafsa, Safiyya and Sauda; and
the other group consisted of Um Salama and the other wives
of Allah's Apostle. The Muslims knew that Allah's Apostle
loved 'Aisha, so if any of them had a gift and wished to
give to Allah's Apostle, he would delay it, till Allah's
Apostle had come to 'Aisha's home and then he would send
his gift to Allah's Apostle in her home. The group of Um
Salama discussed the matter together and decided that Um
Salama should request Allah's Apostle to tell the people
to send their gifts to him in whatever wife's house he
was. Um Salama told Allah's Apostle of what they had said,
but he did not reply. Then they (those wives) asked Um
Salama about it. She said, "He did not say anything to
me." They asked her to talk to him again. She talked to
him again when she met him on her day, but he gave no
reply. When they asked her, she replied that he had given
no reply. They said to her, "Talk to him till he gives you
a reply." When it was her turn, she talked to him again.
He then said to her, "Do not hurt me regarding Aisha, as
the Divine Inspirations do not come to me on any of the
beds except that of Aisha." On that Um Salama said, "I
repent to Allah for hurting you." Then the group of Um
Salama called Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle and
sent her to Allah's Apostle to say to him, "Your wives
request to treat them and the daughter of Abu Bakr on
equal terms." Then Fatima conveyed the message to him. The
Prophet said, "O my daughter! Don't you love whom I love?"
She replied in the affirmative and returned and told them
of the situation. They requested her to go to him again
but she refused. They then sent Zainab bint Jahsh who went
to him and used harsh words saying, "Your wives request
you to treat them and the daughter of Ibn Abu Quhafa on
equal terms." On that she raised her voice and abused 'Aisha
to her face so much so that Allah's Apostle looked at 'Aisha
to see whether she would retort. 'Aisha started replying
to Zainab till she silenced her. The Prophet then looked
at 'Aisha and said, "She is really the daughter of Abu
Bakr."

logical to return to them their captives; so whoever
amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do
it, and whoever of you like to stick to his share till we
give him his right from the very first Fai (war booty) (1)
which Allah will bestow on us, then (he can do so)." The

Apostle and said, 'I have given a gift to my son from 'Amra

to it, O Allah's Apostle!' Allah's Apostle asked, 'Have

Ihram. The Prophet did not accept it. When the Prophet saw

this has been given to my as a present." The Prophet said,
"Why hadn't he stayed in his father's or mother's house to
see whether he would be given presents or not? By Him in
Whose Hands my life is, whoever takes something from the
resources of the Zakat (unlawfully) will be carrying it on
his neck on the Day of Resurrection; if it be a camel, it
will be grunting; if a cow, it will be mooing; and if a

them)?"

you feed sixty poor persons?" He replied in the negative.

dates. The Prophet said to the man, "Take it and give it
in charity (as an expiation of your sin)." The man said
"Should I give it to some people who are poorer than we O

than we." Allah's Apostle told him to take it and provide
his family with it."

excuse my father, but they refused. So, Allah's Apostle
did not give them the fruits, nor did he cut them and
distribute them among them, but said, "I will come to you
tomorrow morning." So, he came to us the next morning and
walked about in between the date-palms and invoked Allah
to bless their fruits. I plucked the fruits and gave back
all the rights of the creditors in full, and a lot of
fruits were left for us. Then I went to Allah's Apostle,
who was sitting, and informed him about what happened.

then added, "Buy (a camel) of the same age and give it to
him." They said, "We cannot get except a camel of an older

me is the true one, so you may choose one of two
alternatives; either the captives or the property and (I
have not distributed the booty for) I have been waiting
for you."
When the Prophet had returned from Ta'if, he waited for
them for more than ten nights. When they came to know that
the Prophet would not return except one of the two, they
chose their captives. The Prophet then stood up amongst
the Muslims, Glorified and Praised Allah as He deserved,
and then said, "Then after: These brothers of yours have
come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return
their captives, so whoever amongst you likes to do that as
a favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you wants to
stick to his share till we pay him from the very first Fai
(i.e. war booty) which Allah will give us, then he can do
so." The people said, "We return (the captives) to them
willingly as a favor, O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet
said, "I do not know who of you has given his consent and
who has not; so go back and your leaders may present your
decision to me." The people went away, and their leaders
discussed the matter with them, and then came to the
Prophet to tell him that all of them had given their
consent (to return the captives) willingly. (Az-Zuhn, the
sub-narrator said, "This is what we know about the
captives, of Hawazin.")

Prophet asked him, "Will you sell us (a sheep) or give it
as a present?" He said, "I will sell you (a sheep)." The
Prophet bought a sheep and it was slaughtered. The Prophet
ordered that its liver and other abdominal organs be
roasted. By Allah, the Prophet gave every person of the
one-hundred-and-thirty a piece of that; he gave all those
of them who were present; and kept the shares of those who
were absent.The Prophet then put its meat in two huge

cloaks similar to that one, and he sent one to 'Umar. 'Umar
said to the Prophet "How can I wear it, while you said

it to you for one Dirham, as the person who takes back
what he has given in charity, is like a dog that swallows
back its vomit."

'Abdullah bin Abu Talha, gave some date-palms to Allah'
Apostle who gave them to his freed slave-girl (Um Aiman)
who was also the mother of Usama bin Zaid. When the
Prophet finished from the fighting against the people of
Khaibar and returned to Medina, the emigrants returned to
the Ansar the fruit gifts which the Ansar had given them.

then Allah will make him enter Paradise because of Hassan
(a sub-narrator) said, "We tried to count those good deeds
below the Maniha; we mentioned replying to the sneezer,
removing harmful things from the road, etc., but we failed
to count even fifteen."

uncultivated."

affirmative. The Prophet asked him, "Do you pay their
Zakat?" He replied in the affirmative. He asked, "Do you
lend them so that their milk may be utilized by others?"
