Narated By 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf : I got an agreement written between me and Umaiya bin Khalaf that Umaiya
would look after my property (or family) in Mecca and I would look after his in Medina. When I mentioned the word
'Ar-Rahman' in the documents, Umaiya said, "I do not know 'Ar-Rahman.' Write down to me your name, (with which
you called yourself) in the Pre-Islamic 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. Bilal(1) saw him (i.e. Umaiya) and
went to a gathering of Ansar and said, "(Here is) Umaiya bin Khalaf! Woe to me if he escapes!" So, a group of
Ansar went out with Bilal to follow us ('Abdur-Rahman and Umaiya). Being afraid that they would catch us, I left
Umaiya's son for them to keep them busy but the Ansar killed the son and insisted on following us. Umaiya 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 Ansar killed him by passing their swords underneath me, and one of them injured my foot with his sword.
(The sub narrator said, " 'Abdur-Rahman used to show us the trace of the wound on the back of his foot.")

Narated By Abu Said Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle employed someone as a governor at Khaibar.
When the man came to Medina, he brought with him dates called Janib. The Prophet asked him, "Are all the dates
of Khaibar of this kind?" The man replied, "(No), we exchange two Sa's of bad dates for one Sa of this kind of dates
(i.e. Janib), or exchange three Sa's for two." On that, the Prophet said, "Don't do so, as it is a kind of usury (Riba)
but sell the dates of inferior quality for money, and then buy Janib with the money". The Prophet said the same
thing about dates sold by weight. (See Hadith No. 506).

somebody to ask the Prophet, and the Prophet permitted him to eat it. 'Ubaidullah (a sub-narrator) said, "I admire
that girl, for though she was a slave-girl, she dared to slaughter the sheep."

who pays the rights of others generously."

people said, "O Allah's Apostle! There is only a camel that is older than his." Allah's Apostle said, "Give (it to) him,
for the best amongst you is he who pays the rights of others handsomely."

Narated By Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama : When the delegates of the tribe of Hawazin after
embracing Islam, came to Allah's Apostle, he got up. They appealed to him to return their properties and their
captives. Allah's Apostle said to them, "The most beloved statement to me is the true one. So, you have the option
of restoring your properties or your captives, for I have delayed distributing them." The narrator added, Allah's
Apostle c had been waiting for them for more than ten days on his return from Taif. When they realized that Allah's
Apostle would return to them only one of two things, they said, "We choose our captives." So, Allah's Apostle got up
in the gathering of the Muslims, praised Allah as He deserved, and said, "Then after! These brethren of yours have
come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return their captives to them. So, whoever amongst you likes to
do that as a favour, then he can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to his share till we pay him from the very
first booty which Allah will give us then he can do so." The people replied, "We agree to give up our shares willingly
as a favour for Allah's Apostle." Then Allah's Apostle said, "We don't know who amongst you has agreed and who
hasn't. Go back and your chiefs may tell us your opinion." So, all of them returned and their chiefs discussed the
matter with them and then they (i.e. their chiefs) came to Allah's Apostle to tell him that they (i.e. the people) had
given up their shares gladly and willingly.

Narated By Jabir bin 'Abdullah : I was accompanying the Prophet on a journey and was riding a slow camel that was
lagging behind the others. The Prophet passed by me and asked, "Who is this?" I replied, "Jabir bin 'Abdullah." 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 said, "Sell it to me." I replied, "It is (a gift) for you,
O Allah's Apostle." He said, "Sell it to me. I have bought it for four Dinars (gold pieces) and you can keep on riding it
till Medina." When we approached Medina, I started going (towards my house). The Prophet said, "Where are you
going?" I Sad, "I have married a widow." He said, "Why have you not married a virgin to fondle with each other?" 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 Medina, Allah's Apostle said, "O Bilal, pay him (the price of the
camel) and give him extra money." Bilal gave me four Dinars and one Qirat extra. (A sub-narrator said): Jabir
added, "The extra Qirat of Allah's Apostle never parted from me." The Qirat was always in Jabir bin 'Abdullah's
purse.

Narated By Abu Huraira : Allah's Apostle deputed me to keep Sadaqat (al-Fitr) of Ramadan. A comer came and
started taking handfuls of the foodstuff (of the Sadaqa) (stealthily). I took hold of him and said, "By Allah, I will take
you to Allah's Apostle." He said, "I am needy and have many dependents, and I am in great need." I released him,
and in the morning Allah's Apostle asked me, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?" I said, "O Allah's Apostle! The
person complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so, I pitied him and let him go." Allah's Apostle
said, "Indeed, he told you a lie and he will be coming again." I believed that he would show up again as Allah's
Apostle 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 Allah's Apostle. 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 Allah's Apostle asked me, "What did your prisoner do." I replied, "O Allah's Apostle! He complained
of his great need and of too many dependents, so I took pity on him and set him free." Allah's Apostle 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 Allah's Apostle as it is 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 Allah will benefit you." I asked, "What are they?" He replied, "Whenever you go to bed,
recite "Ayat-al-Kursi"... 'Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul Qaiyum' till you finish the whole verse. (If you do so), Allah
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, Allah's Apostle asked, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?" I replied, "He claimed that he would
teach me some words by which Allah will benefit me, so I let him go." Allah's Apostle asked, "What are they?" I
replied, "He said to me, 'Whenever you go to bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi from the beginning to the end... Allahu la
ilaha illa huwa-lHaiy-ul-Qaiyum.' He further said to me, '(If you do so), Allah will appoint a guard for you who will stay
with you, and no Satan will come near you till morning.' (Abu Huraira or another sub-narrator) added that they (the
companions) were very keen to do good deeds. The Prophet said, "He really spoke the truth, although he is an
absolute liar. Do you know whom you were talking to, these three nights, O Abu Huraira?" Abu Huraira said, "No."
He said, "It was Satan."

which you love,' and verily, the most beloved to me of my property is Beeruha (garden), so I give it in charity and
hope for its reward from Allah. O Allah's Apostle! Spend it wherever you like." Allah's Apostle 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." Abu Talha said, "I will do so, O Allah's Apostle." So, Abu Talha distributed it
