2301. Narrated 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Aūf رضي الله عنه: I got an agreement written between me and Umaiyya bin Khalaf that Umaiyya would look after my property (or family) in Makkah and I would look after his in Al-Madīna. When I mentioned the word 'Ar-Raḥmān' in the documents Umaiyya said, "I do not know 'Ar-Raḥmān.' Write down to me your name, (with which you called yourself) in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance.” So, I wrote my name “Abdu ‘Amr”. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, when all the people went to sleep, I went up the hill to protect him. Bilāl(1) saw him (i.e., Umaiyya) and went to a gathering of Anṣār and said, “(Here is) Umaiyya bin Khalaf! ‘I will not be saved if Umaiyya is saved’. (Woe to me if he escapes!)” So, a group of Anṣār went out with Bilāl to follow us (‘Abdur-Raḥmān and Umaiyya). Being afraid that they would catch us, I left Umaiyya’s son for them to keep them busy but the Anṣār killed the son and insisted on following us. Umaiyya was a fat man, and when they approached us, I told him to kneel down, and he knelt, and I laid myself on him to protect him, but the Anṣār killed him by passing their swords underneath me, and one of them injured my foot with his sword. (The subnarrator said, “Abdur Raḥmān used to show us the trace of the wound on the back of his foot.”)

When the man came to Al-Madina, he brought with him dates called Janib. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Are all the dates of Khaibar of this kind?" The man replied, "(No), we exchange two Sā' of bad dates for one Sā' of this kind of dates (i.e., Janib), or exchange three Sā' for two." On that, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Don't do so, as it is a kind of Ribā (usury) but sell the dates of inferior quality for money, and then buy Janib with the money." The Prophet ﷺ said the same thing about dates sold by weight. [See Hadīth No.2312].

2304. Narrated Ka'b bin Mālik: We had some sheep which used to graze at Sal'. One of our slave-girls saw a sheep dying and she broke a stone and slaughtered the sheep with it. He (my father) said to them (the people), "Don't eat it till I ask the Prophet ﷺ about it (or till I send somebody to ask the Prophet ﷺ)." So, he asked or sent somebody to ask the Prophet ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ permitted them to eat it. Ubaidullāh (a subnarrator) said, "I admire that girl, for though she was a slave-girl, she dared to slaughter the sheep."

2309. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: I was accompanying the Prophet ﷺ on a journey and was riding a slow camel that was lagging behind the others. The Prophet ﷺ passed by me and asked, "Who is this?" I replied, "Jābir bin 'Abdullāh." He asked, "What is the matter, (why are you late)?" I replied, "I am riding a slow camel." He asked, "Do you have a stick?" I replied in the affirmative. He said, "Give it to me." When I gave it to him, he beat the camel and rebuked it. Then that camel surpassed the others thenceforth. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Sell it to me." I replied, "It is (a gift) for you, O Allāh's Messenger." He said, "Sell it to me. I have bought it for four Dīnār (gold pieces) and you can keep on riding it till Al-Madīna." When we approached Al-Madīna, I started going (towards my house). The Prophet ﷺ said, "Where are you going?" I said, "I have married a widow." He said, "Why have you not married a virgin so that you may play with her and she may play with you?" I said, "My father died and left daughters, so I decided to marry a widow (an experienced woman) (to look after them)." He said, "Well done." When we reached Al-Madīna, Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "O Bilāl, pay him (the price of the camel) and give him extra money." Bilāl gave me four Dīnār and one Qirāṭ extra. (A subnarrator said): Jābir added. "The extra Qirāṭ of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ never parted from me." The Qirāṭ was always in Jābir bin 'Abdullāh's purse.(1)

2311. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ deputed me to keep Ṣadaqat (Al-Fitr) of Ramaḍān. A comer(1) came and started taking handfuls of the foodstuff (of the Ṣadaqa) (stealthily). I took hold of him and said, "By Allāh, I will take you to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." He said, "I am needy and have many dependents, and I am in great need." I released him, and in the morning Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked me, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?"(2) I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! The person complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so, I pitied him and let him go." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Indeed, he told you a lie and he will be coming again." I believed that he would show up again as Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had told me that he would return. So, I waited for him watchfully. When he (showed up and) started stealing handfuls of foodstuff, I caught hold of him again and said, "I will definitely take you to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." He said, "Leave me, for I am very needy and have many dependents. I promise I will not come back again.” I pitied him and let him go. In the morning Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ asked me, “What did your prisoner do?” I replied, “O Allāh’s Messenger! He complained of his great need and of too many dependents, so I took pity on him and set him free.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “Verily, he told you a lie and he will return.” I waited for him attentively for the third time, and when he (came and) started stealing handfuls of the foodstuff, I caught hold of him and said, “I will surely take you to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ as if the third time you promise not to return, yet you break your promise and come.” He said, “(Forgive me and) I will teach you some words with which Allāh will benefit you.” I asked, “What are they?” He replied, “Whenever you go to bed, recite Āyat-al-Kursī – ‘Allāhu lā ilāha illā Huwal-Haiy-ul-Qaiyyūm’(1) till you finish the whole Verse. (if you do so), Allāh will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no satan will come near you till morning”. So, I released him. In the morning, Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ asked, “What did your prisoner do yesterday?” I replied, “He claimed that he would teach me some words by which Allāh will benefit me, so I let him go.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ asked, “What are they?” I replied, “He said to me, ‘Whenever you go to bed, recite Āyat-al-Kursī from the beginning to the end – Allāhu lā ilāha illā Huwal-Haiy-ul-Qaiyyūm –.’ He further said to me, ‘(If you do so), Allāh will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you, and no satan will come near you till morning.’ [(Abū Hurairah or another subnarrator) added that they (the Companions) were very eager to do good deeds]. The Prophet ﷺ said, “He really spoke the truth, although he is an absolute liar. Do you know whom you were talking to, these three nights, O Abū Hurairah?" Abū Hurairah said, "No." He said, "It was Satan."

Bilāl replied, "I had some inferior type of dates and exchanged two Ṣā' of it for one Ṣā' of Barnī (dates) in order to give it to the Prophet ﷺ to eat." Thereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "Beware! Beware! This is definitely Ribā (usury)! This is definitely Ribā(1) (usury). ! Don't do so, but if you want to buy (a superior kind of dates), sell the inferior kind of dates for money and then buy the superior kind of dates with that money."

Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to enter it and drink from its sweet water. When the following Divine Verse was revealed: "By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, here it means Allāh's Reward i.e., Paradise), till you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love..." (V.3:92) Abū Ṭalḥa got up in front of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Allāh تعالى says in his Book, 'By no mean shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, etc., - here it means Allāh's Reward i.e., Paradise) unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love...' and verily, the most beloved to me of my property is Bairuhā (garden), so I give it in charity and hope for its reward from Allāh. O Allāh's Messenger! Spend it wherever you like." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ appreciated that and said, "That is perishable wealth! That is perishable wealth! I have heard what you have said; I suggest you to distribute it among your relatives."(1) Abū Ṭalḥa said, "I will do so, O Allāh's Messenger." So, Abū Ṭalḥa distributed it among his relatives and cousins. The subnarrator (Mālik) said, the Prophet ﷺ said: "That is a profitable wealth," instead of "perishable wealth."

2319 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ العَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الخَازِنُ الأَمِينُ، الَّذِي يُنْفِقُ - وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: الَّذِي يُعْطِي - مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ كَامِلًا مُوَفَّرًا، طَيِّبًا نَفْسُهُ، إِلَى الَّذِي أُمِرَ بِهِ أَحَدُ المُتَصَدِّقَيْنِ "
