Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
The Prophet said, 'O people! The reward of
deeds depends upon the intentions, and every
person will get the reward according to what he
has intended. So, whoever emigrated for Allah and
His Apostle, then his emigration was for Allah and
His Apostle, and whoever emigrated to take worldly
benefit or for a woman to marry, then his
emigration was for what he emigrated for."

prayer of anyone of you if he does Hadath (passes
wind) till he performs the ablution (anew)."

87:
Narrated Anas:

which Allah's Apostle had made compulsory, and

into various portions in order to avoid paying
Zakat.
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
88:
Narrated Talha bin 'Ubaidullah:
A bedouin with unkempt hair came to Allah's
Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Tell me
what Allah has enjoined on me as regards
prayers." The Prophet said, "You have to
offer perfectly the five (compulsory) prayers in a
day and a night (24 hrs.), except if you want to
perform some extra optional prayers." The
bedouin said, "Tell me what Allah has
enjoined on me as regards fasting." The
Prophet said, "You have to observe fast
during the month of Ramadan except if you fast
some extra optional fast." The bedouin said,
"Tell me what Allah has enjoined on me as
regard Zakat." The Prophet then told him the
Islamic laws and regulations whereupon the bedouin
said, "By Him Who has honored you, I will not
perform any optional deeds of worship and I will
not leave anything of what Allah has enjoined on
me." Allah's Apostle said, "He will be
successful if he has told the truth (or he will
enter Paradise if he said the truth)." And
some people said, "The Zakat for one-hundred
and twenty camels is two Hiqqas, and if the Zakat
payer slaughters the camels intentionally or gives
them as a present or plays some other trick in
order to avoid the Zakat, then there is no harm
(in it) for him.
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
89:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "On the Day of
Resurrection the Kanz (Treasure or wealth of
which, Zakat has not been paid) of anyone of you
will appear in the shape of a huge bald headed
poisonous male snake and its owner will run away
from it, but it will follow him and say, 'I am
your Kanz.'" The Prophet added, "By
Allah, that snake will keep on following him until
he stretches out his hand and let the snake
swallow it." Allah's Apostle added, "If
the owner of camels does not pay their Zakat,
then, on the Day of Resurrection those camels will
come to him and will strike his face with their
hooves." Some people said: Concerning a man
who has camels, and is afraid that Zakat will be
due so he sells those camels for similar camels or
for sheep or cows or money one day before Zakat
becomes due in order to avoid payment of their
Zakat cunningly! "He has not to pay
anything." The same scholar said, "If
one pays Zakat of his camels one day or one year
prior to the end of the year (by the end of which
Zakat becomes due), his Zakat will be valid."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
90t:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Sa'd bin 'Ubada Al-Ansari sought the verdict of
Allah's Apostle regarding a vow made by his mother
who had died before fulfilling it. Allah's Apostle
said, "Fulfill it on her behalf." Some
people said, "If the number of camels reaches
twenty, then their owner has to pay four sheep as
Zakat; and if their owner gives them as a gift or
sells them in order to escape the payment of Zakat
cunningly before the completion of a year, then he
is not to pay anything, and if he slaughters them
and then dies, then no Zakat is to be taken from
his property."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
90:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
Nafi narrated to me that 'Abdullah said that
Allah's Apostle forbade the Shighar. I asked Nafi',
"What is the Shighar?" He said, "It
is to marry the daughter of a man and marry one's
daughter to that man (at the same time) without
Mahr (in both cases); or to marry the sister of a
man and marry one's own sister to that man without
Mahr." Some people said, "If one, by a
trick, marries on the basis of Shighar, the
marriage is valid but its condition is
illegal." The same scholar said regarding Al-Mut'a,
"The marriage is invalid and its condition is
illegal." Some others said, "The Mut'a
and the Shighar are permissible but the condition
is illegal."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
91:
Narrated Muhammad bin 'Ali:
'Ali was told that Ibn 'Abbas did not see any
harm in the Mut'a marriage. 'Ali said,

on the Day of the battle of Khaibar and he forbade
the eating of donkey's meat." Some people
said, "If one, by a tricky way, marries
temporarily, his marriage is illegal." Others
said, "The marriage is valid but its
condition is illegal."

Narrated 'Urwa:
That he asked 'Aisha regarding the Verse: 'If
you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly
with the orphan girls, marry (other) women of your
choice.' (4.3) 'Aisha said, "It is about an
orphan girl under the custody of her guardian who
being attracted by her wealth and beauty wants to
marry her with Mahr less than other women of her
status. So such guardians were forbidden to marry
them unless they treat them justly by giving them
their full Mahr. Then the people sought the
verdict of Allah's Apostle for such cases,
whereupon Allah revealed: 'They ask your
instruction concerning women..' (4.127) (The
sub-narrator then mentioned the Hadith.)

The Prophet said, "I am only a human
being, and you people have disputes. May be some
one amongst you can present his case in a more
eloquent and convincing manner than the other, and
I give my judgment in his favor according to what
I hear. Beware! If ever I give (by error) somebody
something of his brother's right then he should
not take it as I have only, given him a piece of
Fire." (See Hadith No. 638. Vol. 3)

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "A virgin should not be
married till she is asked for her consent; and the
matron should not be married till she is asked
whether she agrees to marry or not." It was
asked, "O Allah's Apostle! How will she(the
virgin) express her consent?" He said,
"By keeping silent." Some people said,
"If a virgin is not asked for her consent and
she is not married, and then a man, by playing a
trick presents two false witnesses that he has
married her with her consent and the judge
confirms his marriage as a true one, and the
husband knows that the witnesses were false ones,
then there is no harm for him to consummate his
marriage with her and the marriage is regarded as
valid."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number

Narrated Al-Qasim:
A woman from the offspring of Ja'far was afraid
lest her guardian marry her (to somebody) against
her will. So she sent for two elderly men from the
Ansar, 'AbdurRahman and Mujammi', the two sons of
Jariya, and they said to her, "Don't be
afraid, for Khansa' bint Khidam was given by her
father in marriage against her will, then the
Prophet cancelled that marriage." (See Hadith
No. 78)
Volume 9, Book 86, Number

Narrated Abu Haraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "A lady slave should
not be given in marriage until she is consulted,
and a virgin should not be given in marriage until
her permission is granted." The people said,
"How will she express her permission?"
The Prophet said, "By keeping silent (when
asked her consent)." Some people said,
"If a man, by playing a trick, presents two
false witnesses before the judge to testify that
he has married a matron with her consent and the
judge confirms his marriage, and the husband is
sure that he has never married her (before), then
such a marriage will be considered as a legal one
and he may live with her as husband."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
101:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "It is essential to
have the consent of a virgin (for the marriage). I
said, "A virgin feels shy." The Prophet;
said, "Her silence means her consent."
Some people said, "If a man falls in love
with an orphan slave girl or a virgin and she
refuses (him) and then he makes a trick by
bringing two false witnesses to testify that he
has married her, and then she attains the age of
puberty and agrees to marry him and the judge
accepts the false witness and the husband knows
that the witnesses were false ones, he may
consummate his marriage."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
102:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle used to like sweets and also
used to like honey, and whenever he finished the 'Asr
prayer, he used to visit his wives and stay with
them. Once he visited Hafsa and remained with her
longer than the period he used to stay, so I
enquired about it. It was said to me, "A
woman from her tribe gave her a leather skin
containing honey as a present, and she gave some
of it to Allah's Apostle to drink." I said,
"By Allah, we will play a trick on him."
So I mentioned the story to Sauda (the wife of the
Prophet) and said to her, "When he enters
upon you, he will come near to you whereupon you
should say to him, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have you
eaten Maghafir?' He will say, 'No.' Then you say
to him, 'What is this bad smell? ' And it would be
very hard on Allah's Apostle that a bad smell
should be found on his body. He will say, 'Hafsa
has given me a drink of honey.' Then you should
say to him, 'Its bees must have sucked from the
Al-'Urfut (a foul smelling flower).' I too, will
tell him the same. And you, O Saifya, say the
same."
So when the Prophet entered upon Sauda (the
following happened). Sauda said, "By Him
except Whom none has the right to be worshipped, I
was about to say to him what you had told me to
say while he was still at the gate because of fear
from you. But when Allah 's Apostle came near to
me, I said to him, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have you
eaten Maghafir?' He replied, 'No.' I said, 'What
about this smell?' He said, 'Hafsa has given me a
drink of honey.' I said, 'Its bees must have
sucked Al-'Urfut.' " When he entered upon me,
I told him the same as that, and when he entered
upon Safiya, she too told him the same. So when he
visited Hafsa again, she said to him, "O
Allah's Apostle! Shall I give you a drink of it
(honey)?" He said, "I have no desire for
it." Sauda said, Subhan Allah! We have
deprived him of it (honey)." I said to her,
"Be quiet!"
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
103:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amir bin Rabi'a:
'Umar bin Al-Khattab left for Sham, and when he
reached a placed called Sargh, he came to know
that there was an outbreak of an epidemic (of
plague) in Sham. Then 'AbdurRahman bin 'Auf told
him that Allah's Apostle said, "If you hear
the news of an outbreak of an epidemic (plague) in
a certain place, do not enter that place: and if
the epidemic falls in a place while you are
present in it, do not leave that place to escape
from the epidemic." So 'Umar returned from
Sargh.
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
104:
Narrated 'Amir bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas:
That he heard Usama bin Zaid speaking to Sa'd,
saying, "Allah's Apostle mentioned the plague
and said, 'It is a means of punishment with which
some nations were punished and some of it has
remained, and it appears now and then. So whoever
hears that there is an outbreak of plague in some
land, he should not go to that land, and if the
plague breaks out in the land where one is already
present, one should not run away from that land,
escaping from the plague."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
105:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet said, "The one who takes back
his gift is like a dog swallowing its own vomit,
and we (believers) should not act according to
this bad example."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
106:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet has decreed that preemption is
valid in all cases where the real estate concerned
has not been divided, but if the boundaries are
established and the ways are made, then there is
no preemption. A man said, "Preemption is
only for the neighbor," and then he makes
invalid what he has confirmed. He said, "If
someone wants to buy a house and being afraid that
the neighbor (of the house) may buy it through
preemption, he buys one share out of one hundred
shares of the house and then buys the rest of the
house, then the neighbor can only have the right
of preemption for the first share but not for the
rest of the house; and the buyer may play such a
trick in this case."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
107:
Narrated 'Amr bin Ash-Sharid:
Al-Miswar bin Makhrama came and put his hand on
my shoulder and I accompanied him to Sa'd. Abu
Rafi' said to Al-Miswar, "Won't you order
this (i.e. Sa'd) to buy my house which is in my
yard?" Sa'd said, "I will not offer more
than four hundred in installments over a fixed
period." Abu Rafi said, "I was offered
five hundred cash but I refused. Had I not heard
the Prophet saying, 'A neighbor is more entitled
to receive the care of his neighbor,' I would not
have sold it to you." The narrator said, to
Sufyan: Ma'mar did not say so. Sufyan said,
"But he did say so to me." Some people
said, "If someone wants to sell a house and
deprived somebody of the right of preemption, he
has the right to play a trick to render the
preemption invalid. And that is by giving the
house to the buyer as a present and marking its
boundaries and giving it to him. The buyer then
gives the seller one-thousand Dirham as
compensation in which case the preemptor loses his
right of preemption."
Narrated 'Amr bin Ash-Sharid: Abu Rafi' said
that Sa'd offered him four hundred Mithqal of gold
for a house. Abu Rafi ' said, "If I had not
heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'A neighbor has more
right to be taken care of by his neighbor,' then I
would not have given it to you." Some people
said, "If one has bought a portion of a house
and wants to cancel the right of preemption, he
may give it as a present to his little son and he
will not be obliged to take an oath."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
108:
Narrated Abu Humaid As-Sa'idi:
Allah's Apostle appointed a man called Ibn Al-Lutabiyya
to collect the Zakat from Bani Sulaim's tribe.
When he returned, the Prophet called him to
account. He said (to the Prophet, 'This is your
money, and this has been given to me as a
gift." On that, Allah's Apostle said,
"Why didn't you stay in your father's and
mother's house to see whether you will be given
gifts or not if you are telling the truth?"
Then the Prophet addressed us, and after praising
and glorifying Allah, he said: "Amma Ba'du",
I employ a man from among you to manage some
affair of what Allah has put under my custody, and
then he comes to me and says, 'This is your money
and this has been given to me as a gift. Why
didn't he stay in his father's and mother's home
to see whether he will be given gifts or not? By
Allah, not anyone of you takes a thing unlawfully
but he will meet Allah on the Day of Resurrection,
carrying that thing. I do not want to see any of
you carrying a grunting camel or a mooing cow or a
bleating sheep on meeting Allah." Then the
Prophet raised both his hands till the whiteness
of his armpits became visible, and he said,
"O Allah! Haven't I have conveyed (Your
Message)?" The narrator added: My eyes
witnessed and my ears heard (that Hadith).
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
109:
Narrated Abu Rafi':
The Prophet said, "The neighbor has more
right to be taken care of by his neighbor (than
anyone else)." Some men said, "If one
wants to buy a house for 20,000 Dirhams then there
is no harm to play a trick to deprive somebody of
preemption by buying it (just on paper) with
20,000 Dirhams but paying to the seller only 9,999
Dirhams in cash and then agree with the seller to
pay only one Dinar in cash for the rest of the
price (i.e. 10,001 Dirhams). If the preemptor
offers 20,000 Dirhams for the house, he can buy it
otherwise he has no right to buy it (by this trick
he got out of preemption). If the house proves to
belong to somebody else other than the seller, the
buyer should take back from the seller what he has
paid, i.e., 9,999 Dirhams and one Dinar, because
if the house proves to belong to somebody else, so
the whole bargain (deal) is unlawful. If the buyer
finds a defect in the house and it does not belong
to somebody other than the seller, the buyer may
return it and receive 20,000 Dirhams (instead of
9999 Dirham plus one Dinar) which he actually
paid.' Abu 'Abdullah said, "So that man
allows (some people) the playing of tricks amongst
the Muslims (although) the Prophet said, 'In
dealing with Muslims one should not sell them sick
(animals) or bad things or stolen things."
Volume 9, Book 86, Number
110:
Narrated 'Amr bin Ash-Sharid:
Abu Rafi' sold a house to Sa'd bin Malik for
four-hundred Mithqal of gold, and said, "If I
had not heard the Prophet saying, 'The neighbor
has more right to be taken care of by his neighbor
(than anyone else),' then I would not have sold it
to you."
