Translation
of Sahih Bukhari, Book 15:
Partnership
Volume 3, Book 44,
Number 663:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
"Allah's Apostle sent an army towards the
east coast and appointed Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah
as their chief, and the army consisted of
three-hundred men including myself. We marched on
till we reached a place where our food was about
to finish. Abu- 'Ubaida ordered us to collect all
the journey food and it was collected. My (our)
journey food was dates. Abu 'Ubaida kept on giving
us our daily ration in small amounts from it, till
it was exhausted. The share of everyone of us used
to be one date only." I said, "How could
one date benefit you?" Jabir replied,
"We came to know its value when even that too
finished." Jabir added, "When we reached
the sea-shore, we saw a huge fish which was like a
small mountain. The army ate from it for eighteen
days. Then Abu 'Ubaida ordered that two of its
ribs be fixed and they were fixed in the ground.
Then he ordered that a she-camel be ridden and it
passed under the two ribs (forming an arch)
without touching them."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
664:
Narrated Salama:
Once the journey food diminished and the people
were reduced to poverty. They went to the Prophet
and asked his permission to slaughter their
camels, and he agreed. 'Umar met them and they
told him about it, and he said, "How would
you survive after slaughtering your camels?"
Then he went to the Prophet and said, "O
Allah's Apostle! How would they survive after
slaughtering their camels?" Allah's Apostle
ordered 'Umar, "Call upon the people to bring
what has remained of their food." A leather
sheet was spread and al I the journey food was
collected and heaped over it. Allah's Apostle
stood up and invoked Allah to bless it, and then
directed all the people to come with their
utensils, and they started taking from it till all
of them got what was sufficient for them. Allah's
Apostle then said, "I testify that None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I am His
Apostle. "

Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
We used to offer the 'Asr prayer with the
Prophet and slaughter a camel, the meat of which
would be divided in ten parts. We would eat the
cooked meat before sunset.

666:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, "When the people of
Ash'ari tribe ran short of food during the holy
battles, or the food of their families in Medina
ran short, they would collect all their remaining
food in one sheet and then distribute it among
themselves equally by measuring it with a bowl.
So, these people are from me, and I am from
them."

668:
Narrated 'Abaya bin Rafa'a bin Raft' bin Khadij:
My grandfather said, "We were in the
company of the Prophet at Dhul-Hulaifa. The people
felt hungry and captured some camels and sheep (as
booty). The Prophet was behind the people. They
hurried and slaughtered the animals and put their
meat in pots and started cooking it. (When the
Prophet came) he ordered the pots to be upset and
then he distributed the animals (of the booty),
regarding ten sheep as equal to one camel. One of
the camels fled and the people ran after it till
they were exhausted. At that time there were few
horses. A man threw an arrow at the camel, and
Allah stopped the camel with it. The Prophet said,
"Some of these animals are like wild animals,
so if you lose control over one of these animals,
treat it in this way (i.e. shoot it with an
arrow)." Before distributing them among the
soldiers my grandfather said, "We may meet
the enemies in the future and have no knives; can
we slaughter the animals with reeds?" The
Prophet said, "Use whatever causes blood to
flow, and eat the animals if the name of Allah has
been mentioned on slaughtering them. Do not
slaughter with teeth or fingernails and I will
tell you why: It is because teeth are bones (i.e.
cannot cut properly) and fingernails are the tools
used by the Ethiopians (whom we should not imitate
for they are infidels)."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
669:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet decreed that one should not eat two
dates together at a time unless he gets the
permission from his companions (sharing the meal
with him).
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
670:
Narrated Jabala:
"While at Medina we were struck with
famine. Ibn Az-Zubair used to provide us with
dates as our food. Ibn 'Umar used to pass by us
and say, "Don't eat two dates together at a
time as the Prophet has forbidden eating two dates
together at a time (in a gathering) unless one
takes the permission of one's companion
brother."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
671:
Narrated Nafi:
Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle said, 'If
one manumits his share of a jointly possessed
slave, and can afford the price of the other
shares according to the adequate price of the
slave, the slave will be completely manumitted;
otherwise he will be partially manumitted.' "
(Aiyub, a sub-narrator is not sure whether the
saying " ... otherwise he will be partially
manumitted" was said by Nafi' or the
Prophet.)
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
672:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his
share of a jointly possessed slave, it is
imperative for him to get that slave manumitted
completely by paying the remaining price, and if
he does not have sufficient money to manumit him,
then the price of the slave should be estimated
justly, and he is to be allowed to work and earn
the amount that will manumit him (without
overburdening him)".
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
673:
Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:
The Prophet said, "The example of the
person abiding by Allah's order and restrictions
in comparison to those who violate them is like
the example of those persons who drew lots for
their seats in a boat. Some of them got seats in
the upper part, and the others in the lower. When
the latter needed water, they had to go up to
bring water (and that troubled the others), so
they said, 'Let us make a hole in our share of the
ship (and get water) saving those who are above us
from troubling them. So, if the people in the
upper part left the others do what they had
suggested, all the people of the ship would be
destroyed, but if they prevented them, both
parties would be safe."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
674:
Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
That he had asked 'Aisha about the meaning of
the Statement of Allah: "If you fear that you
shall not Be able to deal justly With the orphan
girls, then Marry (Other) women of your choice Two
or three or four." (4.3)
She said, "O my nephew! This is about the
orphan girl who lives with her guardian and shares
his property. Her wealth and beauty may tempt him
to marry her without giving her an adequate Mahr
(bridal-money) which might have been given by
another suitor. So, such guardians were forbidden
to marry such orphan girls unless they treated
them justly and gave them the most suitable Mahr;
otherwise they were ordered to marry any other
woman." 'Aisha further said, "After that
verse the people again asked the Prophet (about
the marriage with orphan 'girls), so Allah
revealed the following verses:-- 'They ask your
instruction Concerning the women. Say: Allah
Instructs you about them And about what is Recited
unto you In the Book, concerning The orphan girls
to whom You give not the prescribed portions and
yet whom you Desire to marry..." (4.127)
What is meant by Allah's Saying:-- 'And about
what is Recited unto you is the former verse which
goes:-- 'If you fear that you shall not Be able to
deal justly With the orphan girls, then Marry
(other) women of your choice.' (4.3) 'Aisha said,
"Allah's saying in the other verse:--'Yet
whom you desire to marry' (4.127) means the desire
of the guardian to marry an orphan girl under his
supervision when she has not much property or
beauty (in which case he should treat her justly).
The guardians were forbidden to marry their orphan
girls possessing property and beauty without being
just to them, as they generally refrain from
marrying them (when they are neither beautiful nor
wealthy)."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
675:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet established the right of Shu'fa
(i.e. Pre-emption) in joint properties; but when
the land is divided and the ways are demarcated,
then there is no pre-emption.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
676:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "The right of
pre-emption is valid in every joint property, but
when the land is divided and the way is
demarcated, then there is no right of
pre-emption."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
677:
Narrated Sulaiman bin Abu Muslim:
I asked Abu Minhal about money exchange from
hand to hand. He said, "I and a partner of
mine bought something partly in cash and partly on
credit." Al-Bara' bin 'Azib passed by us and
we asked about it. He replied, "I and my
partner Zaid bin Al-Arqam did the same and then
went to the Prophet and asked him about it. He
said, 'Take what was from hand to hand and leave
what was on credit.' "

Volume 3, Book 44, Number
680:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Hisham:
that his mother Zainab bint Humaid took him to
the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle!
Take the pledge of allegiance from him." But
he said, "He is still too young for the
pledge," and passed his hand on his (i.e.
'Abdullah's) head and invoked for Allah's blessing
for him. Zuhra bin Ma'bad stated that he used to
go with his grandfather, 'Abdullah bin Hisham, to
the market to buy foodstuff. Ibn 'Umar and Ibn
Az-Zubair would meet him and say to him, "Be
our partner, as the Prophet invoked Allah to bless
you." So, he would be their partner, and very
often he would win a camel's load and send it
home.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
681:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his
share o a jointly possessed slave, it is
imperative on him to manumit the slave completely
if he has sufficient money to pay the rest of its
price which is to be estimated justly. He should
pay his partners their shares and release him (the
freed one).
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
682:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his
share of a jointly possessed slave, it is
essential for him to manumit the slave completely
if he has sufficient money. Otherwise he should
look for some work for the slave (to earn what
would enable him to emancipate himself), without
overburdening him with work."
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
683:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet (along with his companions) reached
Mecca in the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hijja
assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when we arrived
at Mecca, the Prophet ordered us to change our
intentions of the Ihram for'Umra and that we could
finish our Ihram after performing the 'Umra and
could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse).
The people began talking about that. Jabir said
surprisingly, "Shall we go to Mina while
semen is dribbling from our male organs?"
Jabir moved his hand while saying so. When this
news reached the Prophet he delivered a sermon and
said, "I have been informed that some peoples
were saying so and so; By Allah I fear Allah more
than you do, and am more obedient to Him than you.
If I had known what I know now, I would not have
brought the Hadi (sacrifice) with me and had the
Hadi not been with me, I would have finished the
Ihram." At that Suraqa bin Malik stood up and
asked "O Allah's Apostle! Is this permission
for us only or is it forever?" The Prophet
replied, "It is forever." In the
meantime 'Ali bin Abu Talib came from Yemen and
was saying Labbaik for what the Prophet has
intended. (According to another man, 'Ali was
saying Labbaik for Hajj similar to Allah's
Apostle's). The Prophet told him to keep on the
Ihram and let him share the Hadi with him.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number
684:
Narrated Abaya bin Rifaa:
My grandfather, Rafi bin Khadij said, "We
were in the valley of Dhul-Hulaifa of Tuhama in
the company of the Prophet and had some camels and
sheep (of the booty). The people hurried (in
slaughtering the animals) and put their meat in
the pots and started cooking. Allah's Apostle came
and ordered them to upset the pots, and
distributed the booty considering one camel as
equal to ten sheep. One of the camels fled and the
people had only a few horses, so they got worried.
(The camel was chased and) a man slopped the camel
by throwing an arrow at it. Allah's Apostle said,
'Some of these animals are untamed like wild
animals, so if anyone of them went out of your
control, then you should treat it as you have done
now.' " My grandfather said, "O Allah's
Apostle! We fear that we may meet our enemy
tomorrow and we have no knives, could we slaughter
the animals with reeds?" The Prophet said,
"Yes, or you can use what would make blood
flow (slaughter) and you can eat what is
slaughtered and the Name of Allah is mentioned at
the time of slaughtering. But don't use teeth or
fingernails (in slaughtering). I will tell you
why, as for teeth, they are bones, and fingernails
are used by Ethiopians for slaughtering. (See
Hadith 668)
