Narrated 'Aisha:
Abu Bakr
As-Siddiq had never broken his oaths till Allah revealed the expiation for the
oaths. Then he said, "If I take an oath to do something and later on I
find something else better than the first one, then I do what is better and
make expiation for my oath."
Narrated
'Abdur-Rahman bin Samura:
The Prophet said,
"O 'Abdur-Rahman bin Samura! Do not seek to be a ruler, because if you are
given authority for it, then you will be held responsible for it, but if you
are given it without asking for it, then you will be helped in it (by Allah):
and whenever you take an oath to do something and later you find that something
else is better than the first, then do the better one and make expiation for
your oath."
Narrated Abu
Musa:
I went to the
Prophet along with a group of Al-Ash'ariyin in order to request him to provide
us with mounts. He said, "By Allah, I will not provide you with mounts and
I haven't got anything to mount you on." Then we stayed there as long as
Allah wished us to stay, and then three very nice looking she-camels were
brought to him and he made us ride them. When we left, we, or some of us, said,
"By Allah, we will not be blessed, as we came to the Prophet asking him
for mounts, and he swore that he would not give us any mounts but then he did
give us. So let us go back to the Prophet and remind him (of his oath)."
When we returned to him (and reminded him of the fact), he said, "I did
not give you mounts, but it is Allah Who gave you. By Allah, Allah willing, if
I ever take an oath to do something and then I find something else than the
first, I will make expiation for my oath and do the thing which is better (or
do something which is better and give the expiation for my oath)."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"We (Muslims) are the last in the world, but will be foremost on the Day
of Resurrection." Allah's Apostle also said, "By Allah, if anyone of
you insists on fulfilling an oath by which he may harm his family, he commits a
greater sin in Allah's sight than that of dissolving his oath and making
expiation for it."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "Anyone who takes an oath through which his family may be harmed,
and insists on keeping it, he surely commits a sin greater (than that of
dissolving his oath). He should rather compensate for that oath by making
expiation."
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
Allah's Apostle
sent an army detachment and made Usama bin Zaid its commander. Some people
criticized (spoke badly of) Usama's leadership. So Allah's Apostle got up
saying, "If you people are criticizing Usama's leadership, you have
already criticized the leadership of his father before. But Wa-aimullah (i.e.,
By Allah), he (i.e. Zaid) deserved the leadership, and he was one of the most
beloved persons to me; and now this (his son Usama) is one of the dearest persons
to me after him." (See Hadith No. 745, Vol. 5)

'Umar:

Prophet used to be: "No, by Him who turns the hearts."

"If Caesar is ruined, there will be no Caesar after him; and if Khosrau is
ruined, there will be no Khosrau, after him; and, by Him in Whose Hand my soul
is, surely you will spend their treasures in Allah's Cause."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "If Khosrau is ruined, there will be no Khosrau after him; and if
Caesar is ruined, there will be no Caesar after him. By Him in Whose Hand
Muhammad's soul is, surely you will spend their treasures in Allah's Cause."

Prophet and he was holding the hand of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab. 'Umar said to Him,
"O Allah's Apostle! You are dearer to me than everything except my own
self." The Prophet said, "No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you
will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than your own self."
Then 'Umar said to him, "However, now, by Allah, you are dearer to me than
my own self." The Prophet said, "Now, O 'Umar, (now you are a
believer)."
Narrated Abu
Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
Two men had a
dispute in the presence of Allah's Apostle. One of them said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Judge between us according to Allah's Laws." The other who was
wiser, said, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Judge between us according to
Allah's Laws and allow me to speak. The Prophet said, "Speak." He
said, "My son was a laborer serving this (person) and he committed illegal
sexual intercourse with his wife, The people said that my son is to be stoned
to death, but I ransomed him with one-hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I
asked the learned people, who informed me that my son should receive one
hundred lashes and will be exiled for one year, and stoning will be the lot for
the man's wife." Allah's Apostle said, "Indeed, by Him in Whose Hand
my soul is, I will judge between you according to Allah's Laws: As for your
sheep and slave girl, they are to be returned to you." Then he scourged
his son one hundred lashes and exiled him for one year. Then Unais Al-Aslami
was ordered to go to the wife of the second man, and if she confessed (the
crime), then stone her to death. She did confess, so he stoned her to death.
Narrated Abu
Bakra:
The Prophet said,
"Do you think if the tribes of Aslam, Ghifar, Muzaina and Juhaina are
better than the tribes of Tamim, 'Amir bin Sa'sa'a, Ghatfan and Asad, they (the
second group) are despairing and losing?" They (the Prophet's companions)
said, "Yes, (they are)." He said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul
is, they (the first group) are better than them (the second group)."
Narrated Abu
Humaid As-Sa'idi:
Allah's Apostle
employed an employee (to collect Zakat). The employee returned after completing
his job and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This (amount of Zakat) is for you,
and this (other amount) was given to me as a present." The Prophet said to
him, "Why didn't you stay at your father's or mother's house and see if
you would be given presents or not?" Then Allah's Apostle got up in the
evening after the prayer, and having testified that none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and praised and glorified Allah as He deserved, he said,
"Now then ! What about an employee whom we employ and then he comes and
says, 'This amount (of Zakat) is for you, and this (amount) was given to me as
a present'? Why didn't he stay at the house of his father and mother to see if
he would be given presents or not? By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is,
none of you will steal anything of it (i.e. Zakat) but will bring it by carrying
it over his neck on the Day of Resurrection. If it has been a camel, he will
bring it (over his neck) while it will be grunting, and if it has been a cow,
he will bring it (over his neck), while it will be mooing; and if it has been a
sheep, he will bring it (over his neck) while it will be bleeding." The
Prophet added, "I have preached you (Allah's Message)." Abu Humaid
said, "Then Allah's Apostle raised his hands so high that we saw the
whiteness of his armpits."

(the Prophet ) while in the shade of the Ka'ba; he was saying, "They are
the losers, by the Lord of the Ka'ba! They are the losers, by the Lord of the
Ka'ba!" I said (to myself ), "What is wrong with me? Is anything
improper detected in me? What is wrong with me? Then I sat beside him and he
kept on saying his statement. I could not remain quiet, and Allah knows in what
sorrowful state I was at that time. So I said, ' Who are they (the losers)? Let
My father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Apostle!" He said,
"They are the wealthy people, except the one who does like this and like
this and like this (i.e., spends of his wealth in Allah's Cause)."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "(The Prophet) Solomon once said, 'Tonight I will sleep with ninety
women, each of whom will bring forth a (would-be) cavalier who will fight in
Allah's Cause." On this, his companion said to him, "Say: Allah
willing!" But he did not say Allah willing. Solomon then slept with all
the women, but none of them became pregnant but one woman who later delivered a
half-man. By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, if he (Solomon) had said,
'Allah willing' (all his wives would have brought forth boys) and they would
have fought in Allah's Cause as cavaliers. "
Narrated Al-Bara
'bin 'Azib:
A piece of silken
cloth was given to the Prophet as a present and the people handed it over
amongst themselves and were astonished at its beauty and softness. Allah's

Allah's Apostle!" He said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, the
handkerchiefs of Sa'd in Paradise are better than it."
Narrated 'Aisha:
Hind bint 'Utba
bin Rabi 'a said, "O Allah 's Apostle! (Before I embraced Islam), there
was no family on the surface of the earth, I wish to have degraded more than I
did your family. But today there is no family whom I wish to have honored more
than I did yours." Allah's Apostle said, "I thought similarly, by Him
in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is!" Hind said, "O Allah's Apostle! (My
husband) Abu Sufyan is a miser. Is it sinful of me to feed my children from his
property?" The Prophet said, "No, unless you take it for your needs
what is just and reasonable."
Narrated Abdullah
bin Masud:
While Allah's
Apostle was sitting, reclining his back against a Yemenite leather tent he said

Paradise?" They said, 'Yes.' He said "Won't you be pleased to be
one-third of the people of Paradise" They said, "Yes." He said,
"By Him in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is, I hope that you will be one-half
of the people of Paradise."

There was a
relation of love and brotherhood between this tribe of Jarm and Al-Ash'ariyin.
Once we were with Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, and then a meal containing chicken was
brought to Abu Musa, and there was present, a man from the tribe of Taimillah
who was of red complexion as if he were from non-Arab freed slaves. Abu Musa
invited him to the meal. He said, "I have seen chickens eating dirty
things, so I deemed it filthy and took an oath that I would never eat
chicken." On that, Abu Musa said, "Get up, I will narrate to you
about that. Once a group of the Ash'ariyin and I went to Allah's Apostle and
asked him to provide us with mounts; he said, 'By Allah, I will never give you
any mounts nor do I have anything to mount you on.' Then a few camels of war
booty were brought to Allah's Apostle , and he asked about us, saying, 'Where
are the Ash-'ariyin?' He then ordered five nice camels to be given to us, and
when we had departed, we said, 'What have we done? Allah's Apostle had taken
the oath not to give us any mounts, and that he had nothing to mount us on, and
later he gave us that we might ride? Did we take advantage of the fact that
Allah's Apostle had forgotten his oath? By Allah, we will never succeed.' So we
went back to him and said to him, 'We came to you to give us mounts, and you
took an oath that you would not give us any mounts and that you had nothing to
mount us on.' On that he said, 'I did not provide you with mounts, but Allah
did. By Allah, if I take an oath to do something, and then find something else
better than it, I do that which is better and make expiation for the
dissolution of the oath.' "
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"Whoever swears saying in his oath. 'By Al-Lat and Al'Uzza,' should say,
'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah; and whoever says to his friend,
'Come, let me gamble with you,' should give something in charity."
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
Allah's Apostle
had a gold ring made for himself, and he used to wear it with the stone towards
the inner part of his hand. Consequently, the people had similar rings made for
themselves. Afterwards the Prophet; sat on the pulpit and took it off, saying,
"I used to wear this ring and keep its stone towards the palm of my
hand." He then threw it away and said, "By Allah, I will never wear
it." Therefore all the people threw away their rings as well.
Narrated Thabit
bin Ad-Dahhak:
The Prophet said,
"Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam, is, as he says; and
whoever commits suicide with something, will be punished with the same thing in
the (Hell) Fire; and cursing a believer is like murdering him; and whoever
accuses a believer of disbelief, then it is as if he had killed him."

Once a daughter
of Allah's Apostle sent a message to Allah's Apostle while Usama, Sa'd, and my
father or Ubai were (sitting there) with him. She said, (in the message); My
child is going to die; please come to us." Allah's Apostle returned the
messenger and told him to convey his greetings to her, and say, "Whatever
Allah takes, is for Him and whatever He gives is for Him, and everything with
Him has a limited fixed term (in this world): so she should be patient and hope
for Allah's reward." Then she again sent for him swearing that he should
come; so The Prophet got up, and so did we. When he sat there (at the house of
his daughter), the child was brought to him, and he took him into his lap while
the child's breath was disturbed in his chest. The eyes of Allah's Apostle
started shedding tears. Sa'd said, "What is this, O Allah's Apostle?"
The Prophet said, "This is the mercy which Allah has lodged in the hearts
of whoever He wants of His slaves, and verily Allah is merciful only to those
of His slaves who are merciful (to others).'

Huraira:

person."
Narrated
'Abdullah:
The Prophet was
asked, "Who are the best people?" He replied: The people of my
generation, and then those who will follow (come after) them, and then those
who will come after the later; after that there will come some people whose
witness will precede their oaths and their oaths will go ahead of their
witness." Ibrahim (a sub-narrator) said, "When we were young, our
elder friends used to prohibit us from taking oaths by saying, 'I bear witness
swearing by Allah, or by Allah's Covenant."'
Narrated
'Abdullah:
The Prophet said,
"Whoever swears falsely in order to grab the property of a Muslim (or of

various sides will come close to each other (i.e., it will contract). "

afterwards. Each one of the above four narrators narrated to me a portion of
her narration. (It was said in it), "The Prophet stood up, saying, 'Is

slaughtering the sacrifice), a man got up saying, "I thought, O Allah's
Apostle, such-and-such a thing was to be done before such-and-such a
thing." Another man got up, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! As regards
these three (acts of Hajj), thought so-and-so." The Prophet said,
"Do, and there is no harm," concerning all those matters on that day.
And so, on that day, whatever question he was asked, he said, "Do it, do
it, and there is no harm therein."

mosque. Then (after finishing the prayer) the man came to the Prophet and
greeted him. The Prophet said to him, "Go back and pray, for you have not
prayed. The man went back, and having prayed, he came and greeted the Prophet.
The Prophet after returning his greetings said, "Go back and pray, for you
did not pray." On the third time the man said, "(O Allah's Apostle!)
teach me (how to pray)." The Prophet said, "When you get up for the
prayer, perform the ablution properly and then face the Qibla and say Takbir
(Allahu Akbar), and then recite of what you know of the Quran, and then bow,
and remain in this state till you feel at rest in bowing, and then raise your
head and stand straight; and then prostrate till you feel at rest in
prostration, and then sit up till you feel at rest while sitting; and then prostrate
again till you feel at rest in prostration; and then get up and stand straight,
and do all this in all your prayers."

When the pagans
were defeated during the (first stage) of the battle of Uhud, Satan shouted,

of the Muslims attacked their own back files. Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman looked and
on seeing his father he shouted: "My father! My father!" By Allah!
The people did not stop till they killed his father. Hudhaifa then said,

till he met Allah (till he died)."

led us in prayer, and after finishing the first two Rakat, got up (instead of
sitting for At-Tahiyyat) and then carried on with the prayer. When he had
finished his prayer, the people were waiting for him to say Taslim, but before
saying Tasiim, he said Takbir and prostrated; then he raised his head, and
saying Takbir, he prostrated (SAHU) and then raised his head and finished his
prayer with Taslim.
Narrated Ibn
Mas'ud:
that Allah's
Prophet led them in the Zuhr prayer and he offered either more or less Rakat,
and it was said to him, "O Allah's Apostle ! Has the prayer been reduced,
or have you forgotten?" He asked, "What is that?" They said,
"You have prayed so many Rak'at." So he performed with them two more
prostrations and said, "These two prostrations are to be performed by the
person who does not know whether he has prayed more or less (Rakat) in which
case he should seek to follow what is right. And then complete the rest (of the
prayer) and perform two extra prostrations."

Ka'b:

excuse of Moses was his forgetfulness."
Narrated Al-Bara
bin Azib that once he had a guest, so he told his family (on the Day of
Id-ul-Adha) that they should slaughter the animal for sacrifice before he
returned from the ('Id) prayer in order that their guest could take his meal.
So his family slaughtered (the animal ) before the prayer. Then they mentioned
that event to the Prophet who ordered Al-Bara to slaughter another sacrifice.
Al-Bara' said to the Prophet , "I have a young milch she-goat which is
better than two sheep for slaughtering." (The sub-narrator, Ibn 'Aun used
to say, "I don't know whether the permission (to slaughter a she-goat as a
sacrifice) was especially given to Al-Bara' or if it was in general for all the
Muslims.") (See Hadith No. 99, Vol. 2.)
Narrated Jundub:
I witnessed the
Prophet offering the 'Id prayer (and after finishing it) he delivered a sermon

should make up for it (i.e. slaughter another animal) and whoever has not
slaughtered his sacrifice yet, should slaughter it by mentioning Allah's Name
over it."

confirmation: 'Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's
covenants and their own oaths.' (3.77) (The sub-narrator added:) Al-Ash'ath bin
Qais entered, saying, "What did Abu 'Abdur-Rahman narrate to you?"
They said, "So-and-so," Al-Ash'ath said, "This verse was
revealed in my connection. I had a well on the land of my cousin (and we had a
dispute about it). I reported him to Allah 's Apostle who said (to me).
"You should give evidence (i.e. witness) otherwise the oath of your
opponent will render your claim invalid." I said, "Then he (my
opponent) will take the oath, O Allah's Apostle." Allah's Apostle said,
"Whoever is ordered (by the ruler or the judge) to give an oath, and he
takes a false oath in order to grab the property of a Muslim, then he will
incur Allah's Wrath when he meets Him on the Day of Resurrection."

me a portion of that narration. (They said that 'Aisha said), ''Then Allah
revealed the ten Verses starting with:--'Verily! Those who spread the
slander..' (24.11-21)
All these verses
were in proof of my innocence. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq who used to provide for
Mistah some financial aid because of his relation to him, said, "By Allah,
I will never give anything (in charity) to Mistah, after what he has said about
'Aisha" Then Allah revealed:-- 'And let not those among you who are good
and are wealthy swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kins men....'

forgive me." and then resumed giving Mistah the aid he used to give him
and said, "By Allah! I will never withhold it from him."

that it was because of hunger. Have you anything (to present to the
Prophet)?" She said, "Yes." Then she took out a few loaves of
barley bread and took a veil of hers and wrapped the bread with a part of it
and sent me to Allah's Apostle. I went and found Allah's Apostle sitting in the
mosque with some people. I stood up before him. Allah's Apostle said to me,
"Has Abu Talha sent you?" I said, ' Yes. Then Allah's Apostle said to
those who were with him. "Get up and proceed." I went ahead of them
(as their forerunner) and came to Abu Talha and informed him about it. Abu
Talha said, "O Um Sulaim! Allah's Apostle has come and we have no food to
feed them." Um Sulaim said, "Allah and His Apostle know best."
So Abu Talha went out (to receive them) till he met Allah's Apostle.
Allah's Apostle
came in company with Abu Talha and they entered the house. Allah's Apostle
said, "O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have." So she brought that
(barley) bread and Allah's Apostle ordered that bread to be broken into small
pieces, and then Um Sulaim poured over it some butter from a leather butter
container, and then Allah's Apostle said what Allah wanted him to say, (i.e.
blessing the food). Allah's Apostle then said, "Admit ten men." Abu
Talha admitted them and they ate to their fill and went out. He again said,
"Admit ten men." He admitted them, and in this way all the people ate
to their fill, and they were seventy or eighty men."
Narrated 'Umar
bin Al-Khattab:
I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "The (reward of) deeds, depend upon the intentions and
every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever
emigrated for the sake of Allah and His Apostle, then his emigration will be
considered to be for Allah and His Apostle, and whoever emigrated for the sake
of worldly gain or for a woman to marry, then his emigration will be considered
to be for what he emigrated for."
Narrated Ka'b bin
Malik:
In the last part
of his narration about the three who remained behind (from the battle of
Tabuk). (I said) "As a proof of my true repentance (for not joining the
Holy battle of Tabuk), I shall give up all my property for the sake of Allah
and His Apostle (as an expiation for that sin)." The Prophet said (to me),
"Keep some of your wealth, for that is better for you."
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet used
to stay (for a period) in the house of Zainab bint Jahsh (one of the wives of
the Prophet ) and he used to drink honey in her house. Hafsa and I decided that
when the Prophet entered upon either of us, she would say, "I smell in you
the bad smell of Maghafir (a bad smelling raisin). Have you eaten
Maghafir?" When he entered upon one of us, she said that to him. He
replied (to her), "No, but I have drunk honey in the house of Zainab bint
Jahsh, and I will never drink it again." Then the following verse was
revealed: 'O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you) that which Allah has made
lawful for you?. ..(up to) If you two (wives of the Prophet turn in repentance
to Allah.' (66.1-4) The two were 'Aisha and Hafsa And also the Statement of
Allah: 'And (Remember) when the Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one
of his wives!' (66.3) i.e., his saying, "But I have drunk honey."
Hisham said: It also meant his saying, "I will not drink anymore, and I
have taken an oath, so do not inform anybody of that '
Narrated Sa'id
bin Al-Harith:
that he heard Ibn
'Umar saying, "Weren't people forbidden to make vows?" The Prophet
said, 'A vow neither hastens nor delays anything, but by the making of vows,
some of the wealth of a miser is taken out."
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
The Prophet
forbade the making of vows and said, "It (a vow) does not prevent anything
(that has to take place), but the property of a miser is spent (taken out) with
it."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
The Prophet said,
"Allah says, 'The vow, does not bring about for the son of Adam anything I
have not decreed for him, but his vow may coincide with what has been decided
for him, and by this way I cause a miser to spend of his wealth. So he gives Me
(spends in charity) for the fulfillment of what has been decreed for him what
he would not give Me before but for his vow."
Narrated Zahdam
bin Mudarrab:
'Imran bin
Hussain said, "The Prophet said, 'The best of you (people) are my
generation, and the second best will be those who will follow them, and then
those who will follow the second generation." Imran added, "I do not
remember whether he mentioned two or three (generations) after his generation.
He added, 'Then will come some people who will make vows but will not fulfill
them; and they will be dishonest and will not be trustworthy, and they will
give their witness without being asked to give their witness, and fatness will
appear among them.' "
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet said,
"Whoever vows that he will be obedient to Allah, should remain obedient to
Him; and whoever made a vow that he will disobey Allah, should not disobey
Him."
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
'Umar said
"O Allah's Apostle! I vowed to perform I'tikaf for one night in
Al-Masjid-al-Haram, during the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance (before
embracing Islam). "The Prophet said, "Fulfill your vow." Ibn
'Umar said to the lady, "Pray on her behalf." Ibn 'Abbas said the
same.
Narrated Sa'id
bin 'Ubada Al-Ansari:
that he consulted
the Prophet about a vow that had been made by his mother who died without
fulfilling it. The Prophet gave his verdict that he should fulfill it on her
behalf. The verdict became Sunna (i.e. the Prophet's tradition).
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
A man came to the
Prophet and said to him, "My sister vowed to perform the Hajj, but she
died (before fulfilling it)." The Prophet said, "Would you not have
paid her debts if she had any?" The man said, "Yes." The Prophet
said, "So pay Allah's Rights, as He is more entitled to receive His rights."
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet said,
"Whoever vowed to be obedient to Allah, must be obedient to Him; and
whoever vowed to be disobedient to Allah, should not be disobedient to
Him."
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said,
"Allah is not in need of this man) torturing himself," when he saw
the man walking between his two sons (who were supporting him).
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
The Prophet saw a
man performing Tawaf around the Ka'ba, tied with a rope or something else
(while another person was holding him). The Prophet cut that rope off.
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
While performing
the Tawaf around the Ka'ba, the Prophet passed by a person leading another
person by a hair-rope nose-ring in his nose. The Prophet cut the hair-rope
nose-ring off with his hand and ordered the man to lead him by the hand.
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
While the Prophet
was delivering a sermon, he saw a man standing, so he asked about that man.
They (the people) said, "It is Abu Israil who has vowed that he will stand
and never sit down, and he will never come in the shade, nor speak to anybody,
and will fast.'' The Prophet said, "Order him to speak and let him come in
the shade, and make him sit down, but let him complete his fast."
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
that he was asked
about a man who had vowed that he would fast all the days of his life then the
day of 'Id al Adha or 'Id-al-Fitr came. 'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: You have
indeed a good example in Allah's Apostle. He did not fast on the day of 'Id al
Adha or the day of 'Id-al-Fitr, and we do not intend fasting on these two days.
Narrated Ziyad
bin Jubair:
I was with Ibn
'Umar when a man asked him, "I have vowed to fast every Tuesday or
Wednesday throughout my life and if the day of my fasting coincided with the
day of Nahr (the first day of 'Id-al-Adha), (What shall I do?)" Ibn 'Umar
said, "Allah has ordered the vows to be fulfilled, and we are forbidden to
fast on the day of Nahr." The man repeated his question and Ibn 'Umar
repeated his former answer, adding nothing more.
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
We went out in
the company of Allah's Apostle on the day of (the battle of) Khaibar, and we
did not get any gold or silver as war booty, but we got property in the form of
things and clothes. Then a man called Rifa'a bin Zaid, from the tribe of Bani
Ad-Dubaib, presented a slave named Mid'am to Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle
headed towards the valley of Al-Qura, and when he was in the valley of Al-Qura
an arrow was thrown by an unidentified person, struck and killed Mid'am who was
making a she-camel of Allah's Apostle kneel down. The people said,
"Congratulations to him (the slave) for gaining Paradise." Allah's
Apostle said, "No! By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, for the sheet which he
stole from the war booty before its distribution on the day of Khaibar, is now
burning over him." When the people heard that, a man brought one or two
Shiraks (leather straps of shoes) to the Prophet. The Prophet said, "A
Shirak of fire, or two Shiraks of fire."
