47 - THE BOOK OF PARTNERSHIP

English translation

2483. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent an army towards the sea coast and appointed Abū 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrāh 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. Abū 'Ubaida ordered us to collect all the journey food and it was collected. My (our) journey food was dates. Abū '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?" Jābir replied, "We came to know its value when even that too finished." Jābir 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 Abū '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."

2484. Narrated Salama رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Once the journey-food diminished and the people were reduced to poverty. They went to the Prophet ﷺ and asked his permission to slaughter their camels, and he permitted them. Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 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 ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! How would they survive after slaughtering their camels?" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ ordered 'Umar, "Call upon the people to bring what has remained of their food." A leather sheet was spread and all the journey food was collected and heaped over it. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ stood up and invoked Allāh 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. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ then said: I testify that "Lā ilaha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh), and I am the Messenger of Allāh."

2488. Narrated ‘Abāya bin Rifā’a bin Rāfi’ bin Khadāj: My grandfather said, “We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ at Dhul-Ḥulaifa. The people were struck with hunger and captured some camels and sheep (as booty). The Prophet ﷺ was behind the people. They hurried and slaughtered the animals and put their meat in pots and started cooking it. (When the Prophet ﷺ (1) (Ch. 2) Equally means: As one owner (of sheep) as regards the Zakāt. came) he ordered the pots to be upset(1) 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 Allāh stopped the camel with it. The Prophet ﷺ 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)'." My grandfather added, "We were afraid that we may meet the enemies in the future and have no knives; [we asked the Prophet ﷺ, 'can we slaughter the animals with reeds?']" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Use whatever causes blood to flow, and eat the animals if the Name of Allāh 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)."

2493. Narrated An-Nu'mān bin Bashīr. The Prophet ﷺ said, "The example of the person abiding by Allāh's Orders and Restrictions in comparison to those who violate them is like the example of those persons who drew lots for their seats in a ship. 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 trouble. So, if the people in the upper part left the others do what they had intended, all of them would be perished, but if they prevented them (from doing so), both parties would be saved."

English translation

2494. Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair that he had asked 'Aishah رضي الله عنها about the meaning of the Statement of Allāh تعالى: "And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly... (up to)... or four..." (V.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.” ‘Aishah further said, “After that Verse the people again asked the Prophet ﷺ (about the marriage with orphan girls), so Allāh تعالى revealed the following Verses : ‘They ask your legal instruction concerning women... (up to)... and yet whom you desire to marry...’ (V.4:127) What is meant by Allāh’s Saying : ‘And about what is recited unto you’ is the former Verse which goes : ‘And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry (other) women of your choice...’ ‘Aishah رضي الله عنها said, “Allāh’s Saying in the other Verse : ‘...Yet whom you desire to marry...’ 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 the orphan girls under their care possessing property and beauty without being just to them, as they generally refrain from marrying them (when they are neither beautiful nor wealthy).”

(According to another man, ‘Ali was saying Labbaik for Hajj similar to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ). The Prophet ﷺ told him to keep on the Ihrām and let him share the Hady with him.

2507. Narrated ‘Abāya bin Rifā’a: My grandfather, Rāfi’ bin Khadīj رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said, “We were in the valley of Dhul-Hulaifa of Tihāma in the company of the Prophet ﷺ 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. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ 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 stopped the camel by throwing an arrow at it. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ 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 Allāh’s Messenger! We fear that we may meet our enemy tomorrow and we have no knives, could we slaughter the animals with reeds?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, or you can use what would make blood flow (slaughter) and you can eat what is slaughtered and the Name of Allāh 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 Hadīth No. 2488]

2507 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبَايَةَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ رَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذِي الحُلَيْفَةِ مِنْ تِهَامَةَ، فَأَصَبْنَا غَنَمًا وَإِبِلًا، فَعَجِلَ القَوْمُ، فَأَغْلَوْا بِهَا القُدُورَ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا، فَأُكْفِئَتْ ثُمَّ عَدَلَ عَشْرًا مِنَ الغَنَمِ بِجَزُورٍ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ بَعِيرًا نَدَّ وَلَيْسَ فِي القَوْمِ إِلَّا خَيْلٌ يَسِيرَةٌ، فَرَمَاهُ رَجُلٌ، فَحَبَسَهُ بِسَهْمٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ لِهَذِهِ البَهَائِمِ أَوَابِدَ كَأَوَابِدِ الوَحْشِ، فَمَا غَلَبَكُمْ مِنْهَا، فَاصْنَعُوا بِهِ هَكَذَا» قَالَ: قَالَ جَدِّي: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنَّا نَرْجُو - أَوْ نَخَافُ - أَنْ نَلْقَى العَدُوَّ غَدًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَنَا مُدًى، فَنَذْبَحُ بِالقَصَبِ؟ فَقَالَ: " اعْجَلْ - أَوْ أَرْنِي - مَا أَنْهَرَ الدَّمَ، وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَكُلُوا لَيْسَ السِّنَّ، وَالظُّفُرَ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، أَمَّا السِّنُّ: فَعَظْمٌ، وَأَمَّا الظُّفُرُ: فَمُدَى الحَبَشَةِ "
