Number 263:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
You people say that Abu Huraira tells many
narrations from Allah's Apostle and you also
wonder why the emigrants and Ansar do not narrate
from Allah's Apostle as Abu Huraira does. My
emigrant brothers were busy in the market while I
used to stick to Allah's Apostle content with what
fills my stomach; so I used to be present when
they were absent and I used to remember when they
used to forget, and my Ansari brothers used to be
busy with their properties and I was one of the
poor men of Suffa. I used to remember the
narrations when they used to forget. No doubt,
Allah's Apostle once said, "Whoever spreads
his garment till I have finished my present speech
and then gathers it to himself, will remember
whatever I will say." So, I spread my colored
garment which I was wearing till Allah's Apostle
had finished his saying, and then I gathered it to
my chest. So, I did not forget any of that
narrations.

Narrated Ibrahim bin Sad from his father from
his grand-father:
Abdur Rahman bin Auf said, "When we came
to Medina as emigrants, Allah's Apostle
established a bond of brotherhood between me and
Sad bin Ar-Rabi'. Sad bin Ar-Rabi' said (to me),
'I am the richest among the Ansar, so I will give
you half of my wealth and you may look at my two
wives and whichever of the two you may choose I
will divorce her, and when she has completed the
prescribed period (before marriage) you may marry
her.' Abdur-Rahman replied, "I am not in need
of all that. Is there any market-place where trade
is practiced?' He replied, "The market of
Qainuqa." Abdur-Rahman went to that market
the following day and brought some dried
butter-milk (yogurt) and butter, and then he
continued going there regularly. Few days later, 'AbdurRahman
came having traces of yellow (scent) on his body.
Allah's Apostle asked him whether he had got
married. He replied in the affirmative. The
Prophet said, 'Whom have you married?' He replied,
'A woman from the Ansar.' Then the Prophet asked,
'How much did you pay her?' He replied, '(I gave
her) a gold piece equal in weigh to a date stone
(or a date stone of gold)! The Prophet said, 'Give
a Walima (wedding banquet) even if with one sheep
.' "

When Abdur-Rahman bin Auf came to Medina, the

man, so he said to 'Abdur-Rahman, "I will
give you half of my property and will help you
marry." 'Abdur-Rahman said (to him),
"May Allah bless you in your family and
property. Show me the market." So 'Abdur-Rahman
did not return from the market) till he gained
some dried buttermilk (yoghurt) and butter
(through trading). He brought that to his
house-hold. We stayed for some-time (or as long as
Allah wished), and then Abdur-Rahman came, scented
with yellowish perfume. The Prophet said (to him)
"What is this?" He replied, "I got
married to an Ansari woman." The Prophet
asked, "What did you pay her?" He
replied, "A gold stone or gold equal to the
weight of a date stone." The Prophet said (to
him), "Give a wedding banquet even if with

Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:
The Prophet said "Both legal and illegal
things are obvious, and in between them are
(suspicious) doubtful matters. So who-ever
forsakes those doubtful things lest he may commit
a sin, will definitely avoid what is clearly
illegal; and who-ever indulges in these
(suspicious) doubtful things bravely, is likely to
commit what is clearly illegal. Sins are Allah's
Hima (i.e. private pasture) and whoever pastures
(his sheep) near it, is likely to get in it at any
moment."

taken a promise from me that I will take
him." 'Abu bin Zam'a said, "(He is) my
brother and the son of my father's slave-girl and

Then the Prophet said, "The son is for the
bed (i.e the man on whose bed he was born) and
stones (disappointment and deprivation) for the
one who has done illegal sexual intercourse."
The Prophet told his wife Sauda bint Zam'a to
screen herself from that boy as he noticed a

did not see her till he died.
