The Prophet said, ''While a man was riding a cow, it turned towards him and said, I have not been created for this purpose (i.e. carrying), I have been created for sloughing.'' The Prophet added, ''I, Abu Bakr and Umar believe in the story.'' The Prophet went on, ''A wolf caught a sheep, and when the shepherd chased it, the wolf said, Who will be its guard on the day of wild beasts, when there will be no shepherd for it except me?' ''After narrating it, the Prophet said, ''I, Abu Bakr and Umar too believe it.'' Abu Salama (a sub-narrator) said, ''Abu Bakr and Umar were not present then.'' (It has been written that a wolf also spoke to one of the companions of the Prophet near Medina as narrated in Fatah-al-Bari: Narrated Unais bin Amr: Ahban bin Aus said, ''I was amongst my sheep. Suddenly a wolf caught a sheep and I shouted at it. The wolf sat on its tail and addressed me, saying, Who will look after it (i.e. the sheep) when you will be busy and not able to look after it? Do you forbid me the provision which Allah has provided me?' '' Ahban added, ''I clapped my hands and said, By Allah, I have never seen anything more curious and wonderful than this!' On that the wolf said, There is something (more curious) and wonderful than this; that is, Allah's Apostle in those palm trees, inviting people to Allah (i.e. Islam).' ''Unais bin Amr further said, ''Then Ahban went to Allah's Apostle and informed him what happened and embraced Islam.)'' palm trees or other trees and share the fruits with me.''

Abu Sufyan bin Abu Zuhair, a man from Azd Shanu'a and one of the companions of the Prophet said, ''I heard Allah's Apostle saying, If one keeps a dog which is meant for guarding neither a farm nor cattle, one Qirat of the reward of his good deeds is deducted daily.'' I said, ''Did you hear this from Allah's Apostle?'' He said, ''Yes, by the Lord of this Mosque.''

Abu Talha was the richest man in Medina amongst the Ansar and Beeruha' (garden) was the most beloved of his property, and it was situated opposite the mosque (of the Prophet.). Allah's Apostle used to enter it and drink from its sweet water. When the following Divine Verse were revealed: you will not attain righteousness till you spend in charity of the things you love' (3.93), Abu Talha got up in front of Allah's Apostle and said, ''O Allah's Apostle! Allah says in His Book, You will not attain righteousness unless you spend (in charity) that 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 among his relatives and cousins. The sub-narrator (Malik) said: The Prophet said: ''That is a profitable wealth,'' instead of ''perishable wealth''.

I twisted the garlands of the Hadis (i.e. animals for sacrifice) of Allah's Apostle with my own hands. Then Allah's Apostle put them around their necks with his own hands, and sent them with my father (to Mecca). Nothing legal was regarded illegal for Allah's Apostle till the animals were slaughtered.

Once Bilal brought Barni (i.e. a kind of dates) to the Prophet and the Prophet asked him, ''From where have you brought these?'' Bilal replied, ''I had some inferior type of dates and exchanged two Sas of it for one Sa of Barni dates in order to give it to the Prophet; to eat.'' Thereupon the Prophet said, ''Beware! Beware! This is definitely Riba (usury)! This is definitely Riba (Usury)! Don't do so, but if you want to buy (a superior kind of dates) sell the inferior dates for money and then buy the superior kind of dates with that money.''

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.''

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.

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 favor, 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 favor 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.

A man came to the Prophet demanding his debts and behaved rudely. The companions of the Prophet intended to harm him, but Allah's Apostle said (to them), ''Leave him, for the creditor (i.e. owner of a right) has the right to speak.'' Allah's Apostle then said, ''Give him a camel of the same age as that of his.'' The 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.''

We had some sheep which used to graze at Sala'. One of our slavegirls saw a sheep dying and she broke a stone and slaughtered the sheep with it. My father said to the people, ''Don't eat it till I ask the Prophet about it (or till I send somebody to ask the Prophet).'' So, he asked or sent 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 . ''

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).

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-lslamic 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.'')

Whenever a dead man in debt was brought to Allah's Apostle he would ask, ''Has he left anything to repay his debt?'' If he was informed that he had left something to repay his debts, he would offer his funeral prayer, otherwise he would tell the Muslims to offer their friend's funeral prayer. When Allah made the Prophet wealthy through conquests, he said, ''I am more rightful than other believers to be the guardian of the believers, so if a Muslim dies while in debt, I am responsible for the repayment of his debt, and whoever leaves wealth (after his death) it will belong to his heirs.

(wife of the Prophet) Since I reached the age when I could remember things, I have seen my parents worshipping according to the right faith of Islam. Not a single day passed but Allah's Apostle visited us both in the morning and in the evening. When the Muslims were persecuted, Abu Bakr set out for Ethiopia as an emigrant. When he reached a place called Bark-al-Ghimad, he met Ibn Ad-Daghna, the chief of the Qara tribe, who asked Abu Bakr, ''Where are you going?'' Abu Bakr said, ''My people have turned me out of the country and I would like to tour the world and worship my Lord.'' Ibn Ad-Daghna said, ''A man like you will not go out, nor will he be turned out as you help the poor earn their living, keep good relation with your Kith and kin, help the disabled (or the dependents), provide guests with food and shelter, and help people during their troubles. I am your protector. So, go back and worship your Lord at your home.'' Ibn Ad-Daghna went along with Abu Bakr and took him to the chiefs of Quraish saying to them, ''A man like Abu Bakr will not go out, nor will he be turned out. Do you turn out a man who helps the poor earn their living, keeps good relations with Kith and kin, helps the disabled, provides guests with food and shelter, and helps the people during their troubles?'' So, Quraish allowed Ibn Ad-Daghna's guarantee of protection and told Abu- Bakr that he was secure, and said to Ibn Ad-Daghna, ''Advise Abu Bakr to worship his Lord in his house and to pray and read what he liked and not to hurt us and not to do these things publicly, for we fear that our sons and women may follow him.'' Ibn Ad-Daghna told Abu Bakr of all that, so Abu- Bakr continued worshipping his Lord in his house and did not pray or recite Qur'an aloud except in his house. Later on Abu Bakr had an idea of building a mosque in the court yard of his house. He fulfilled that idea and started praying and reciting Qur'an there publicly. The women and the offspring of the pagans started gathering around him and looking at him astonishingly. Abu Bakr was a softhearted person and could not help weeping while reciting Qur'an. This horrified the pagan chiefs of Quraish. They sent for Ibn Ad-Daghna and when he came, they said, ''We have given Abu Bakr protection on condition that he will worship his Lord in his house, but he has transgressed that condition and has built a mosque in the court yard of his house and offered his prayer and recited Qur'an in public. We are afraid lest he mislead our women and offspring. So, go to him and tell him that if he wishes he can worship his Lord in his house only, and if not, then tell him to return your pledge of protection as we do not like to betray you by revoking your pledge, nor can we tolerate Abu Bakr's public declaration of Islam (his worshipping).'' Aisha added: Ibn Ad-Daghna came to Abu Bakr and said, ''You know the conditions on which I gave you protection, so you should either abide by those conditions or revoke my protection, as I do not like to hear the Arabs saying that Ibn Ad-Daghna gave the pledge of protection to a person and his people did not respect it.'' Abu Bakr said, ''I revoke your pledge of protection and am satisfied with Allah's protection.'' At that time Allah's Apostle was still in Mecca and he said to his companions, ''Your place of emigration has been shown to me. I have seen salty land, planted with date-palms and situated between two mountains which are the two ,Harras.'' So, when the Prophet told it, some of the companions migrated to Medina, and some of those who had migrated to Ethiopia returned to Medina. When Abu Bakr prepared for emigration, Allah's Apostle said to him, ''Wait, for I expect to be permitted to emigrate.'' Abu Bakr asked, ''May my father be sacrificed for your sake, do you really expect that?'' Allah's Apostle replied in the affirmative. So, Abu Bakr postponed his departure in order to accompany Allah's Apostle and fed two camels which he had, with the leaves of Samor trees for four months.

Once the Prophet said (to me), ''If the money of Bahrain comes, I will give you a certain amount of it.'' The Prophet had breathed his last before the money of Bahrain arrived. When the money of Bahrain reached, Abu Bakr announced, ''Whoever was promised by the Prophet should come to us.'' I went to Abu Bakr and said, ''The Prophet promised me so and so.'' Abu Bakr gave me a handful of coins and when I counted them, they were five-hundred in number. Abu Bakr then said, ''Take twice the amount you have taken (besides).''

A dead person was brought to the Prophet so that he might lead the funeral prayer for him. He asked, ''Is he in debt?'' When the people replied in the negative, he led the funeral prayer. Another dead person was brought and he asked, ''Is he in debt?'' They said, ''Yes.'' He (refused to lead the prayer and) said, ''Lead the prayer of your friend.'' Abu Qatada said, ''O Allah's Apostle! I undertake to pay his debt.'' Allah's Apostle then led his funeral prayer.
