Translation
of Sahih Bukhari, Book 15:
Conditions
Volume 3, Book 50,
Number 874:
Narrated Marwan and al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
(from the companions of Allah's Apostle) When
Suhail bin Amr agreed to the Treaty (of Hudaibiya),
one of the things he stipulated then, was that the
Prophet should return to them (i.e. the pagans)
anyone coming to him from their side, even if he
was a Muslim; and would not interfere between them
and that person. The Muslims did not like this
condition and got disgusted with it. Suhail did
not agree except with that condition. So, the
Prophet agreed to that condition and returned Abu
Jandal to his father Suhail bin 'Amr.
Thenceforward the Prophet returned everyone in
that period (of truce) even if he was a Muslim.
During that period some believing women emigrants
including Um Kalthum bint Uqba bin Abu Muait who
came to Allah's Apostle and she was a young lady
then. Her relative came to the Prophet and asked
him to return her, but the Prophet did not return
her to them for Allah had revealed the following
Verse regarding women:
"O you who believe! When the believing
women come to you as emigrants. Examine them,
Allah knows best as to their belief, then if you
know them for true believers, Send them not back
to the unbelievers, (for) they are not lawful
(wives) for the disbelievers, Nor are the
unbelievers lawful (husbands) for them (60.10)
Narrated 'Urwa: Aisha told me, "Allah's
Apostle used to examine them according to this
Verse: "O you who believe! When the believing
women come to you, as emigrants test them . . .
for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
(60.10-12) Aisha said, "When any of them
agreed to that condition Allah's Apostle would say
to her, 'I have accepted your pledge of
allegiance.' He would only say that, but, by Allah
he never touched the hand of any women (i.e. never
shook hands with them) while taking the pledge of
allegiance and he never took their pledge of
allegiance except by his words (only)."

Narrated Urwa:
Aisha told me that Buraira came to seek her
help in writing for emancipation and at that time
she had not paid any part of her price. 'Aisha
said to her, "Go to your masters and if they
agree that I will pay your price (and free you) on
condition that your Wala' will be for me, I will
pay the money." Buraira told her masters
about that, but they refused, and said, "If 'Aisha
wants to do a favor she could, but your Wala will
be for us." Aisha informed Allah's Apostle of
that and he said to her, "Buy and manumit
Buraira as the Wala' will go to the
manumitted."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number
879:
Narrated Jabir:
While I was riding a (slow) and tired camel,
the Prophet passed by and beat it and prayed for
Allah's Blessings for it. The camel became so fast
as it had never been before. The Prophet then
said, "Sell it to me for one Uqiyya (of
gold)." I said, "No." He again
said, "Sell it to me for one Uqiyya (of
gold)." I sold it and stipulated that I
should ride it to my house. When we reached
(Medina) I took that camel to the Prophet and he
gave me its price. I returned home but he sent for
me (and when I went to him) he said, "I will
not take your camel. Take your camel as a gift for
you." (Various narrations are mentioned here
with slight variations in expressions relating the
condition that Jabir had the right to ride the
sold camel up to Medina).

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Ansar said to the Prophet, "Divide our
date-palms between us and our emigrant
brothers." The Prophet said, "No."

fruits with you." The emigrants said,
"We hear and obey."

Narrated Uqba bin Amir:
Allah's Apostle said, "From among all the
conditions which you have to fulfill, the
conditions which make it legal for you to have
sexual relations (i.e. the marriage contract) have
the greatest right to be fulfilled."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number
883:
Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
We used to work on the fields more than the
other Ansar, and we used to rent the land (for the
yield of a specific portion of it). But sometimes
that portion or the rest of the land did not give
any yield, so we were forbidden (by the Prophet )
to follow such a system, but we were allowed to
rent the land for money.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number
884:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "No town-dweller should
sell for a bedouin. Do not practice Najsh (i.e. Do
not offer a high price for a thing which you do
not want to buy, in order to deceive the people).
No Muslim should offer more for a thing already
bought by his Muslim brother, nor should he demand
the hand of a girl already engaged to another
Muslim. A Muslim woman shall not try to bring
about The divorce of her sister (i.e. another
Muslim woman) in order to take her place
herself."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number
885:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
A bedouin came to Allah's Apostle and said,
"O Allah's apostle! I ask you by Allah to
judge My case according to Allah's Laws." His
opponent, who was more learned than he, said,
"Yes, judge between us according to Allah's
Laws, and allow me to speak." Allah's Apostle
said, "Speak." He (i .e. the bedouin or
the other man) said, "My son was working as a
laborer for this (man) and he committed illegal
sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told
me that it was obligatory that my son should be
stoned to death, so in lieu of that I ransomed my
son by paying one hundred sheep and a slave girl.
Then I asked the religious scholars about it, and
they informed me that my son must be lashed one
hundred lashes, and be exiled for one year, and
the wife of this (man) must be stoned to
death." Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in
Whose Hands my soul is, I will judge between you
according to Allah's Laws. The slave-girl and the
sheep are to be returned to you, your son is to
receive a hundred lashes and be exiled for one
year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this (man) and
if she confesses her guilt, stone her to
death." Unais went to that woman next morning
and she confessed. Allah's Apostle ordered that
she be stoned to death.

Narrated Aiman Al-Makki:
rs had stipulated that her Wala would be for
them.' The Prophet said,
Volume 3, Book 50, Number
887:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle forbade (1) the meeting of the
caravan (of goods) on the way, (2) and that a
residing person buys for a bedouin, (3) and that a
woman stipulates the divorce of the wife of the
would-be husband, (4) and that a man tries to
cause the cancellation of a bargain concluded by
another. He also forbade An-Najsh (see Hadith 824)
and that one withholds the milk in the udder of
the animal so that he may deceive people on
selling it.
Volume 3, Book 50, Number
888:
Narrated Ubai bin Kab:
Allah's Apostle said, "Moses the Apostle
of Allah," and then he narrated the whole
story about him. Al-Khadir said to Moses,
"Did not I tell you that you can have no
patience with me." (18.72). Moses then
violated the agreement for the first time because
of forgetfulness, then Moses promised that if he
asked Al-Khadir about anything, the latter would
have the right to desert him. Moses abided by that
condition and on the third occasion he
intentionally asked Al-Khadir and caused that
condition to be applied. The three occasions
referred to above are referred to by the following
Verses:
"Call me not to account for forgetting And
be not hard upon me." (18.73)
"Then they met a boy and Khadir killed
him." (18.74)
"Then they proceeded and found a wall
which was on the verge of falling and Khadir set
it up straight." (18.77)
Volume 3, Book 50, Number
889:
Narrated Urwa:
Aisha said, "Buraira came to me and said,
'My people (masters) have written the contract for
my emancipation for nine Awaq ) of gold) to be
paid in yearly installments, one Uqiyya per year;
so help me." Aisha said (to her), "If
your masters agree, I will pay them the whole sum
provided the Wala will be for me." Buraira
went to her masters and told them about it, but
they refused the offer and she returned from them
while Allah's Apostles was sitting. She said,
"I presented the offer to them, but they
refused unless the Wala' would be for them."
When the Prophet heard that and 'Aisha told him
about It, he said to her, "Buy Buraira and
let them stipulate that her Wala' will be for
them, as the Wala' is for the manumitted." 'Aisha
did so. After that Allah's Apostle got up amidst
the people, Glorified and Praised Allah and said,
"What is wrong with some people who stipulate
things which are not in Allah's Laws? Any
condition which is not in Allah's Laws is invalid
even if there were a hundred such conditions.
Allah's Rules are the most valid and Allah's
Conditions are the most solid. The Wala is for the
manumitted."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number
890:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
When the people of Khaibar dislocated Abdullah
bin Umar's hands and feet, Umar got up delivering
a sermon saying, "No doubt, Allah's Apostle
made a contract with the Jews concerning their
properties, and said to them, 'We allow you (to
stand in your land) as long as Allah allows you.'
Now Abdullah bin Umar went to his land and was
attacked at night, and his hands and feet were
dislocated, and as we have no enemies there except
those Jews, they are our enemies and the only
people whom we suspect, I have made up my mind to
exile them." When Umar decided to carry out
his decision, a son of Abu Al-Haqiq's came and
addressed 'Umar, "O chief of the believers,
will you exile us although Muhammad allowed us to
stay at our places, and made a contract with us
about our properties, and accepted the condition
of our residence in our land?" 'Umar said,
"Do you think that I have forgotten the
statement of Allah's Apostle, i.e.: What will your
condition be when you are expelled from Khaibar
and your camel will be carrying you night after
night?" The Jew replied, "That was joke
from Abu-l-Qasim." 'Umar said, "O the
enemy of Allah! You are telling a lie." 'Umar
then drove them out and paid them the price of
their properties in the form of fruits, money,
camel saddles and ropes, etc."
Volume 3, Book 50, Number
891:
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan:
(whose narrations attest each other) Allah's
Apostle set out at the time of Al-Hudaibiya
(treaty), and when they proceeded for a distance,
he said, "Khalid bin Al-Walid leading the
cavalry of Quraish constituting the front of the
army, is at a place called Al-Ghamim, so take the
way on the right." By Allah, Khalid did not
perceive the arrival of the Muslims till the dust
arising from the march of the Muslim army reached
him, and then he turned back hurriedly to inform
Quraish. The Prophet went on advancing till he
reached the Thaniyya (i.e. a mountainous way)
through which one would go to them (i.e. people of
Quraish). The she-camel of the Prophet sat down.
The people tried their best to cause the she-camel
to get up but in vain, so they said, "Al-Qaswa'
(i.e. the she-camel's name) has become stubborn!
Al-Qaswa' has become stubborn!" The Prophet
said, "Al-Qaswa' has not become stubborn, for
stubbornness is not her habit, but she was stopped
by Him Who stopped the elephant." Then he
said, "By the Name of Him in Whose Hands my
soul is, if they (i.e. the Quraish infidels) ask
me anything which will respect the ordinances of
Allah, I will grant it to them."
The Prophet then rebuked the she-camel and she
got up. The Prophet changed his way till he
dismounted at the farthest end of Al-Hudaibiya at
a pit (i.e. well) containing a little water which
the people used in small amounts, and in a short
while the people used up all its water and
complained to Allah's Apostle; of thirst. The
Prophet took an arrow out of his arrow-case and
ordered them to put the arrow in that pit. By
Allah, the water started and continued sprouting
out till all the people quenched their thirst and
returned with satisfaction. While they were still
in that state, Budail bin Warqa-al-Khuza'i came
with some persons from his tribe Khuza'a and they
were the advisers of Allah's Apostle who would
keep no secret from him and were from the people
of Tihama. Budail said, "I left Kab bin Luai
and 'Amir bin Luai residing at the profuse water
of Al-Hudaibiya and they had milch camels (or
their women and children) with them, and will wage
war against you, and will prevent you from
visiting the Kaba." Allah's Apostle said,
"We have not come to fight anyone, but to
perform the 'Umra. No doubt, the war has weakened
Quraish and they have suffered great losses, so if
they wish, I will conclude a truce with them,
during which they should refrain from interfering
between me and the people (i.e. the 'Arab infidels
other than Quraish), and if I have victory over
those infidels, Quraish will have the option to
embrace Islam as the other people do, if they
wish; they will at least get strong enough to
fight. But if they do not accept the truce, by
Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I will fight with
them defending my Cause till I get killed, but (I
am sure) Allah will definitely make His Cause
victorious." Budail said, "I will inform
them of what you have said." So, he set off
till he reached Quraish and said, "We have
come from that man (i.e. Muhammad) whom we heard
saying something which we will disclose to you if
you should like." Some of the fools among
Quraish shouted that they were not in need of this
information, but the wiser among them said,
"Relate what you heard him saying."
Budail said, "I heard him saying
so-and-so," relating what the Prophet had
told him.
Urwa bin Mas'ud got up and said, "O
people! Aren't you the sons? They said,
"Yes." He added, "Am I not the
father?" They said, "Yes." He said,
"Do you mistrust me?" They said,
"No." He said, "Don't you know that
I invited the people of 'Ukaz for your help, and
when they refused I brought my relatives and
children and those who obeyed me (to help
you)?" They said, "Yes." He said,
"Well, this man (i.e. the Prophet) has
offered you a reasonable proposal, you'd better
accept it and allow me to meet him." They
said, "You may meet him." So, he went to
the Prophet and started talking to him. The
Prophet told him almost the same as he had told
Budail. Then Urwa said, "O Muhammad! Won't
you feel any scruple in extirpating your
relations? Have you ever heard of anyone amongst
the Arabs extirpating his relatives before you? On
the other hand, if the reverse should happen,
(nobody will aid you, for) by Allah, I do not see
(with you) dignified people, but people from
various tribes who would run away leaving you
alone." Hearing that, Abu Bakr abused him and
said, "Do you say we would run and leave the
Prophet alone?" Urwa said, "Who is that
man?" They said, "He is Abu Bakr."
Urwa said to Abu Bakr, "By Him in Whose Hands
my life is, were it not for the favor which you
did to me and which I did not compensate, I would
retort on you." Urwa kept on talking to the
Prophet and seizing the Prophet's beard as he was
talking while Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba was standing
near the head of the Prophet, holding a sword and
wearing a helmet. Whenever Urwa stretched his hand
towards the beard of the Prophet, Al-Mughira would
hit his hand with the handle of the sword and say
(to Urwa), "Remove your hand from the beard
of Allah's Apostle." Urwa raised his head and
asked, "Who is that?" The people said,
"He is Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba." Urwa
said, "O treacherous! Am I not doing my best
to prevent evil consequences of your
treachery?"
Before embracing Islam Al-Mughira was in the
company of some people. He killed them and took
their property and came (to Medina) to embrace
Islam. The Prophet said (to him, "As regards
your Islam, I accept it, but as for the property I
do not take anything of it. (As it was taken
through treason). Urwa then started looking at the
Companions of the Prophet. By Allah, whenever
Allah's Apostle spat, the spittle would fall in
the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet's
companions) who would rub it on his face and skin;
if he ordered them they would carry his orders
immediately; if he performed ablution, they would
struggle to take the remaining water; and when
they spoke to him, they would lower their voices
and would not look at his face constantly out of
respect. Urwa returned to his people and said,
"O people! By Allah, I have been to the kings
and to Caesar, Khosrau and An-Najashi, yet I have
never seen any of them respected by his courtiers
as much as Muhammad is respected by his
companions. By Allah, if he spat, the spittle
would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the
Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his face
and skin; if he ordered them, they would carry out
his order immediately; if he performed ablution,
they would struggle to take the remaining water;
and when they spoke, they would lower their voices
and would not look at his face constantly out of
respect." Urwa added, "No doubt, he has
presented to you a good reasonable offer, so
please accept it." A man from the tribe of
Bani Kinana said, "Allow me to go to
him," and they allowed him, and when he
approached the Prophet and his companions, Allah's
Ap le I said, "He is so-and-so who belongs to
the tribe that respects the Budn (i.e. camels of
the sacrifice). So, bring the Budn in front of
him." So, the Budn were brought before him
and the people received him while they were
reciting Talbiya. When he saw that scene, he said,
"Glorified be Allah! It is not fair to
prevent these people from visiting the Ka'ba."
When he returned to his people, he said, 'I saw
the Budn garlanded (with colored knotted ropes)
and marked (with stabs on their backs). I do not
think it is advisable to prevent them from
visiting the Ka'ba." Another person called
Mikraz bin Hafs got up and sought their permission
to go to Muhammad, and they allowed him, too. When
he approached the Muslims, the Prophet said,
"Here is Mikraz and he is a vicious
man." Mikraz started talking to the Prophet
and as he was talking, Suhail bin Amr came.
When Suhail bin Amr came, the Prophet said,
"Now the matter has become easy." Suhail
said to the Prophet "Please conclude a peace
treaty with us." So, the Prophet called the
clerk and said to him, "Write: By the Name of
Allah, the most Beneficent, the most
Merciful." Suhail said, "As for
'Beneficent,' by Allah, I do not know what it
means. So write: By Your Name O Allah, as you used
to write previously." The Muslims said,
"By Allah, we will not write except: By the
Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most
Merciful." The Prophet said, "Write: By
Your Name O Allah." Then he dictated,
"This is the peace treaty which Muhammad,
Allah's Apostle has concluded." Suhail said,
"By Allah, if we knew that you are Allah's
Apostle we would not prevent you from visiting the
Kaba, and would not fight with you. So, write:
"Muhammad bin Abdullah." The Prophet
said, "By Allah! I am Apostle of Allah even
if you people do not believe me. Write: Muhammad
bin Abdullah." (Az-Zuhri said, "The
Prophet accepted all those things, as he had
already said that he would accept everything they
would demand if it respects the ordinance of
Allah, (i.e. by letting him and his companions
perform 'Umra.)" The Prophet said to Suhail,
"On the condition that you allow us to visit
the House (i.e. Ka'ba) so that we may perform
Tawaf around it." Suhail said, "By
Allah, we will not (allow you this year) so as not
to give chance to the 'Arabs to say that we have
yielded to you, but we will allow you next
year." So, the Prophet got that written.
Then Suhail said, "We also stipulate that
you should return to us whoever comes to you from
us, even if he embraced your religion." The
Muslims said, "Glorified be Allah! How will
such a person be returned to the pagans after he
has become a Muslim? While they were in this state
Abu- Jandal bin Suhail bin 'Amr came from the
valley of Mecca staggering with his fetters and
fell down amongst the Muslims. Suhail said,
"O Muhammad! This is the very first term with
which we make peace with you, i.e. you shall
return Abu Jandal to me." The Prophet said,
"The peace treaty has not been written
yet." Suhail said, "I will never allow
you to keep him." The Prophet said,
"Yes, do." He said, "I won't do.:
Mikraz said, "We allow you (to keep
him)." Abu Jandal said, "O Muslims! Will
I be returned to the pagans though I have come as
a Muslim? Don't you see how much I have
suffered?"
Abu Jandal had been tortured severely for the
Cause of Allah. Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "I
went to the Prophet and said, 'Aren't you truly
the Apostle of Allah?' The Prophet said, 'Yes,
indeed.' I said, 'Isn't our Cause just and the
cause of the enemy unjust?' He said, 'Yes.' I
said, 'Then why should we be humble in our
religion?' He said, 'I am Allah's Apostle and I do
not disobey Him, and He will make me victorious.'
I said, 'Didn't you tell us that we would go to
the Ka'ba and perform Tawaf around it?' He said,
'Yes, but did I tell you that we would visit the
Ka'ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, 'So you
will visit it and perform Tawaf around it?' "
Umar further said, "I went to Abu Bakr and
said, 'O Abu Bakr! Isn't he truly Allah's
Prophet?' He replied, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why
should we be humble in our religion?' He said,
'Indeed, he is Allah's Apostle and he does not
disobey his Lord, and He will make him victorious.
Adhere to him as, by Allah, he is on the right.' I
said, 'Was he not telling us that we would go to
the Kaba and perform Tawaf around it?' He said,
'Yes, but did he tell you that you would go to the
Ka'ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, "You
will go to Ka'ba and perform Tawaf around
it." (Az-Zuhri said, " 'Umar said, 'I
performed many good deeds as expiation for the
improper questions I asked them.' ")
When the writing of the peace treaty was
concluded, Allah's Apostle said to his companions,
"Get up and' slaughter your sacrifices and
get your head shaved." By Allah none of them
got up, and the Prophet repeated his order thrice.
When none of them got up, he left them and went to
Um Salama and told her of the people's attitudes
towards him. Um Salama said, "O the Prophet
of Allah! Do you want your order to be carried
out? Go out and don't say a word to anybody till
you have slaughtered your sacrifice and call your
barber to shave your head." So, the Prophet
went out and did not talk to anyone of them till
he did that, i.e. slaughtered the sacrifice and
called his barber who shaved his head. Seeing
that, the companions of the Prophet got up,
slaughtered their sacrifices, and started shaving
the heads of one another, and there was so much
rush that there was a danger of killing each
other. Then some believing women came (to the
Prophet ); and Allah revealed the following Divine
Verses:--
"O you who believe, when the believing
women come to you as emigrants examine them . .
." (60.10)
Umar then divorced two wives of his who were
infidels. Later on Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan married
one of them, and Safwan bin Umaya married the
other. When the Prophet returned to Medina, Abu
Basir, a new Muslim convert from Quraish came to
him. The Infidels sent in his pursuit two men who
said (to the Prophet ), "Abide by the promise
you gave us." So, the Prophet handed him over
to them. They took him out (of the City) till they
reached Dhul-Hulaifa where they dismounted to eat
some dates they had with them. Abu Basir said to
one of them, "By Allah, O so-and-so, I see
you have a fine sword." The other drew it out
(of the scabbard) and said, "By Allah, it is
very fine and I have tried it many times."
Abu Bair said, "Let me have a look at
it."
When the other gave it to him, he hit him with
it till he died, and his companion ran away till
he came to Medina and entered the Mosque running.
When Allah's Apostle saw him he said, "This
man appears to have been frightened." When he
reached the Prophet he said, "My companion
has been murdered and I would have been murdered
too." Abu Basir came and said, "O
Allah's Apostle, by Allah, Allah has made you
fulfill your obligations by your returning me to
them (i.e. the Infidels), but Allah has saved me
from them." The Prophet said, "Woe to
his mother! what excellent war kindler he would
be, should he only have supporters." When Abu
Basir heard that he understood that the Prophet
would return him to them again, so he set off till
he reached the seashore. Abu Jandal bin Suhail got
himself released from them (i.e. infidels) and
joined Abu Basir. So, whenever a man from Quraish
embraced Islam he would follow Abu Basir till they
formed a strong group. By Allah, whenever they
heard about a caravan of Quraish heading towards
Sham, they stopped it and attacked and killed them
(i.e. infidels) and took their properties. The
people of Quraish sent a message to the Prophet
requesting him for the Sake of Allah and Kith and
kin to send for (i.e. Abu Basir and his
companions) promising that whoever (amongst them)
came to the Prophet would be secure. So the
Prophet sent for them (i.e. Abu Basir's
companions) and Allah I revealed the following
Divine Verses:
"And it is He Who Has withheld their hands
from you and your hands From them in the midst of
Mecca, After He made you the victorious over them.
. . . the unbelievers had pride and haughtiness,
in their hearts . . . the pride and haughtiness of
the time of ignorance." (48.24-26) And their
pride and haughtiness was that they did not
confess (write in the treaty) that he (i.e.
Muhammad) was the Prophet of Allah and refused to
write: "In the Name of Allah, the most
Beneficent, the Most Merciful," and prevented
the Mushriks from visiting the Ka'ba.
Narrated Az-Zuhri: Urwa said, "Aisha told
me that Allah's Apostle used to examine the women
emigrants. We have been told also that when Allah
revealed the order that the Muslims should return
to the pagans what they had spent on their wives
who emigrated (after embracing Islam) and that the
Mushriks should not. keep unbelieving women as
their wives, 'Umar divorced two of his wives,
Qariba, the daughter of Abu Urhaiya and the
daughter of Jarwal Al-Khuza'i. Later on Mu'awlya
married Qariba and Abu Jahm married the
other."
When the pagans refused to pay what the Muslims
had spent on their wives, Allah revealed:
"And if any of your wives have gone from you
to the unbelievers and you have an accession (By
the coming over of a woman from the other side)
(Then pay to those whose wives have gone) The
equivalent of what they had spent (On their Mahr)."
(60.11)
So, Allah ordered that the Muslim whose wife,
has gone, should be given, as a compensation of
the Mahr he had given to his wife, from the Mahr
of the wives of the pagans who had emigrated
deserting their husbands.
We do not know any of the women emigrants who
deserted Islam after embracing it. We have also
been told that Abu Basir bin Asid Ath-Thaqafi came
to the Prophet as a Muslim emigrant during the
truce. Al-Akhnas bin Shariq wrote to the Prophet
requesting him to return Abu Basir.

Narrated Amra:
Aisha said that Buraira came to seek her help
in the writing of her emancipation. 'Aisha said to
her, "If you wish, I will pay your masters
(your price) and the wala' will be for me."
When Allah's Apostle came, she told him about it.
The Prophet said to her, "Buy her (i.e.
Buraira) and manumit her, for the Wala is for the
one who manumits." Then Allah's Apostle
ascended the pulpit and said, "What about
those people who stipulate conditions which are
not in Allah's Laws? Whoever stipulates such
conditions as are not in Allah's Laws, then those
conditions are invalid even if he stipulated a
hundred such conditions."

whoever knows them will go to Paradise."

Volume 3, Book 50, Number
895:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Umar bin Khattab got some land in Khaibar and
he went to the Prophet to consult him about it
saying, "O Allah' Apostle got some land in
Khaibar better than which I have never had, what
do you suggest that I do with it?" The
Prophet said, "If you like you can give the
land as endowment and give its fruits in
charity." So Umar gave it in charity as an
endowment on the condition that would not be sold
nor given to anybody as a present and not to be
inherited, but its yield would be given in charity
to the poor people, to the Kith and kin, for
freeing slaves, for Allah's Cause, to the
travelers and guests; and that there would be no
harm if the guardian of the endowment ate from it
according to his need with good intention, and fed
others without storing it for the future."
