-----------------------------------------
Narated By Abu Huraira : You people say that Abu Huraira tells many narrations from Allah's Apostle and you also
wonder why the emigrants and Ansar do not narrate from Allah's Apostle as Abu Huraira does. My emigrant
brothers were busy in the market while I used to stick to Allah's Apostle content with what fills my stomach; so I used
to be present when they were absent and I used to remember when they used to forget, and my Ansari brothers
used to be busy with their properties and I was one of the poor men of Suffa. I used to remember the narrations
when they used to forget. No doubt, Allah's Apostle once said, "Whoever spreads his garment till I have finished my
present speech and then gathers it to himself, will remember whatever I will say." So, I spread my coloured garment
which I was wearing till Allah's Apostle had finished his saying, and then I gathered it to my chest. So, I did not forget
any of that narrations.

Narated By Ibrahim bin Sad from his father from his grand-father : Abdur Rahman bin Auf said, "When we came to
Medina as emigrants, Allah's Apostle established a bond of brotherhood between me and Sad bin Ar-Rabi'. Sad bin
Ar-Rabi' said (to me), 'I am the richest among the Ansar, so I will give you half of my wealth and you may look at my
two wives and whichever of the two you may choose I will divorce her, and when she has completed the prescribed
period (before marriage) you may marry her.' Abdur-Rahman replied, "I am not in need of all that. Is there any
market-place where trade is practiced?' He replied, "The market of Qainuqa." Abdur-Rahman went to that market
the following day and brought some dried butter-milk (yogurt) and butter, and then he continued going there
regularly. Few days later, 'AbdurRahman came having traces of yellow (scent) on his body. Allah's Apostle asked
him whether he had got married. He replied in the affirmative. The Prophet said, 'Whom have you married?' He
replied, 'A woman from the Ansar.' Then the Prophet asked, 'How much did you pay her?' He replied, '(I gave her) a
gold piece equal in weigh to a date stone (or a date stone of gold)! The Prophet said, 'Give a Walima (wedding
banquet) even if with one sheep.'"

Narated By Anas : When Abdur-Rahman bin Auf came to Medina, the Prophet established a bond of brotherhood
between him and Sad bin Ar-Rabi al-Ansari. Sad was a rich man, so he said to 'Abdur-Rahman, "I will give you half
of my property and will help you marry." 'Abdur-Rahman said (to him), "May Allah bless you in your family and
property. Show me the market." So 'Abdur-Rahman did not return from the market) till he gained some dried
buttermilk (yoghurt) and butter (through trading). He brought that to his house-hold. We stayed for some-time (or
as long as Allah wished), and then Abdur-Rahman came, scented with yellowish perfume. The Prophet said (to him)
"What is this?" He replied, "I got married to an Ansari woman." The Prophet asked, "What did you pay her?" He
replied, "A gold stone or gold equal to the weight of a date stone." The Prophet said (to him), "Give a wedding
banquet even if with one sheep."

Narated By Ibn 'Abbas : 'Ukaz, Majanna and Dhul-Majaz were market-places in the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance.

way.

Narated By An-Nu'man bin Bashir : The Prophet said "Both legal and illegal things are obvious, and in between
them are (suspicious) doubtful matters. So who-ever forsakes those doubtful things lest he may commit a sin, will
definitely avoid what is clearly illegal; and who-ever indulges in these (suspicious) doubtful things bravely, is likely to
commit what is clearly illegal. Sins are Allah's Hima (i.e. private pasture) and whoever pastures (his sheep) near it,
is likely to get in it at any moment."

Sad bin Abu Waqqas took him, and said that he was his brother's son, and his brother took a promise from him to
that effect. 'Abu bin Zam'a got up and said, "He is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father and was
born on my father's bed." Then they both went to the Prophet Sad said, "O Allah's Apostle! He is the son of my
brother and he has taken a promise from me that I will take him." 'Abu bin Zam'a said, "(He is) my brother and the
son of my father's slave-girl and was born on my father's bed." Allah's Apostle said, "The boy is for you. O 'Abu bin
Zam'a." Then the Prophet said, "The son is for the bed (i.e the man on whose bed he was born) and stones
(disappointment and deprivation) for the one who has done illegal sexual intercourse." The Prophet told his wife
Sauda bint Zam'a to screen herself from that boy as he noticed a similarity between the boy and 'Utba. So, the boy
did not see her till he died.

and she may play with you?" Jabir replied, "I have sisters (young in age) so I liked to marry a matron who could
collect them all and comb their hair and look after them." The Prophet said, "You will reach, so when you have

My parents were old and I used to go out for grazing (my animals). On my return I would milk (the animals) and take
the milk in a vessel to my parents to drink. After they had drunk from it, I would give it to my children, family and
wife. One day I was delayed and on my return I found my parents sleeping, and I disliked to wake them up. The
children were crying at my feet (because of hunger). That state of affairs continued till it was dawn. O Allah! If You
regard that I did it for Your sake, then please remove this rock so that we may see the sky.' So, the rock was moved
a bit. The second said, 'O Allah! You know that I was in love with a cousin of mine, like the deepest love a man may
have for a woman, and she told me that I would not get my desire fulfilled unless I paid her one-hundred Dinars
(gold pieces). So, I struggled for it till I gathered the desired amount, and when I sat in between her legs, she told
me to be afraid of Allah, and asked me not to deflower her except rightfully (by marriage). So, I got up and left her.
O Allah! If You regard that I did if for Your sake, kindly remove this rock.' So, two-thirds of the rock was removed.
Then the third man said, 'O Allah! No doubt You know that once I employed a worker for one Faraq (three Sa's) of
millet, and when I wanted to pay him, he refused to take it, so I sowed it and from its yield I bought cows and a
shepherd. After a time that man came and demanded his money. I said to him: Go to those cows and the shepherd
and take them for they are for you. He asked me whether I was joking with him. I told him that I was not joking with
him, and all that belonged to him. O Allah! If You regard that I did it sincerely for Your sake, then please remove the
rock.' So, the rock was removed completely from the mouth of the cave."

woman who was one of the most charming women. So, the king sent for Abraham and asked, 'O Abraham! Who is
this lady accompanying you?' Abraham replied, 'She is my sister (i.e. in religion).' Then Abraham returned to her
and said, 'Do not contradict my statement, for I have informed them that you are my sister. By Allah, there are no
true believers on this land except you and 1.' Then Abraham sent her to the king. When the king got to her, she got
up and performed ablution, prayed and said, 'O Allah! If I have believed in You and Your Apostle, and have saved
my private parts from everybody except my husband, then please do not let this pagan overpower me.' On that the
king fell in a mood of agitation and started moving his legs. Seeing the condition of the king, Sarah said, 'O Allah! If
he should die, the people will say that I have killed him.' The king regained his power, and proceeded towards her
but she got up again and performed ablution, prayed and said, 'O Allah! If I have believed in You and Your Apostle
and have kept my private parts safe from all except my husband, then please do not let this pagan overpower me.'
The king again fell in a mood of agitation and started moving his legs. On seeing that state of the king, Sarah said,
'O Allah! If he should die, the people will say that I have killed him.' The king got either two or three attacks, and
after recovering from the last attack he said, 'By Allah! You have sent a Satan to me. Take her to Abraham and
give her Ajar.' So she came back to Abraham and said, 'Allah humiliated the pagan and gave us a slavegirl for
service."

brother and was born on my father's bed from his slave-girl." Allah's Apostle cast a look at the boy and found
definite resemblance to 'Utba and then said, "The boy is for you, O 'Abu bin Zam'a. The child goes to the owner of
