Ali:
I
got a she-camel in my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of
Badr, and the Prophet had given me a she-camel from the Khumus. When I intended
to marry Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle, I had an appointment with a
goldsmith from the tribe of Bani Qainuqa' to go with me to bring Idhkhir (i.e.
grass of pleasant smell) and sell it to the goldsmiths and spend its price on
my wedding party. I was collecting for my she-camels equipment of saddles,
sacks and ropes while my two she-camels were kneeling down beside the room of
an Ansari man. I returned after collecting whatever I collected, to see the
humps of my two she-camels cut off and their flanks cut open and some portion
of their livers was taken out. When I saw that state of my two she-camels, I
could not help weeping. I asked, "Who has done this?" The people
replied, "Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib who is staying with some Ansari drunks
in this house." I went away till I reached the Prophet and Zaid bin
Haritha was with him. The Prophet noticed on my face the effect of what I had
suffered, so the Prophet asked. "What is wrong with you." I replied,
"O Allah's Apostle! I have never seen such a day as today. Hamza attacked
my two she-camels, cut off their humps, and ripped open their flanks, and he is
sitting there in a house in the company of some drunks." The Prophet then
asked for his covering sheet, put it on, and set out walking followed by me and
Zaid bin Haritha till he came to the house where Hamza was. He asked permission
to enter, and they allowed him, and they were drunk. Allah's Apostle started
rebuking Hamza for what he had done, but Hamza was drunk and his eyes were red.
Hamza looked at Allah's Apostle and then he raised his eyes, looking at his
knees, then he raised up his eyes looking at his umbilicus, and again he raised
up his eyes look in at his face. Hamza then said, "Aren't you but the
slaves of my father?" Allah's Apostle realized that he was drunk, so
Allah's Apostle retreated, and we went out with him.

'Aisha:
(mother
of the believers) After the death of Allah 's Apostle Fatima the daughter of
Allah's Apostle asked Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to give her, her share of inheritance
from what Allah's Apostle had left of the Fai (i.e. booty gained without
fighting) which Allah had given him. Abu Bakr said to her, "Allah's
Apostle said, 'Our property will not be inherited, whatever we (i.e. prophets)
leave is Sadaqa (to be used for charity)." Fatima, the daughter of Allah's
Apostle got angry and stopped speaking to Abu Bakr, and continued assuming that
attitude till she died. Fatima remained alive for six months after the death of
Allah's Apostle.
She
used to ask Abu Bakr for her share from the property of Allah's Apostle which
he left at Khaibar, and Fadak, and his property at Medina (devoted for
charity). Abu Bakr refused to give her that property and said, "I will not
leave anything Allah's Apostle used to do, because I am afraid that if I left
something from the Prophet's tradition, then I would go astray." (Later
on) Umar gave the Prophet's property (of Sadaqa) at Medina to 'Ali and 'Abbas,
but he withheld the properties of Khaibar and Fadak in his custody and said,
"These two properties are the Sadaqa which Allah's Apostle used to use for
his expenditures and urgent needs. Now their management is to be entrusted to
the ruler." (Az-Zuhrl said, "They have been managed in this way till
today.")

Malik bin Aus:
While
I was at home, the sun rose high and it got hot. Suddenly the messenger of
'Umar bin Al-Khattab came to me and said, "The chief of the believers has
sent for you." So, I went along with him till I entered the place where
'Umar was sitting on a bedstead made of date-palm leaves and covered with no
mattress, and he was leaning over a leather pillow. I greeted him and sat down.
He said, "O Malik! Some persons of your people who have families came to
me and I have ordered that a gift should be given to them, so take it and
distribute it among them." I said, "O chief of the believers! I wish
that you order someone else to do it." He said, "O man! Take
it." While I was sitting there with him, his doorman Yarfa' came saying,
"'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Auf, Az-Zubair and Sad bin Abi Waqqas are
asking your permission (to see you); may I admit them?" 'Umar said,
"Yes", So they were admitted and they came in, greeted him, and sat
down. After a while Yarfa' came again and said, "May I admit 'Ali and
'Abbas?" 'Umar said, "yes." So, they were admitted and they came
in and greeted (him) and sat down. Then 'Abbas said, "O chief of the
believers! Judge between me and this (i.e. 'Ali)." They had a dispute
regarding the property of Bani An-Nadir which Allah had given to His Apostle as
Fai. The group (i.e. 'Uthman and his companions) said, "O chief of the
believers! Judge between them and relieve both of them front each other."
'Umar said, "Be patient! I beseech you by Allah by Whose Permission the
Heaven and the Earth exist, do you know that Allah's Apostle said, 'Our (i.e.
prophets') property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave, is Sadaqa (to
be used for charity),' and Allah's Apostle meant himself (by saying "we'')?"
The group said, "He said so." 'Umar then turned to 'Ali and 'Abbas
and said, "I beseech you by Allah, do you know that Allah's Apostle said
so?" They replied, " He said so." 'Umar then said, "So, I
will talk to you about this matter. Allah bestowed on His Apostle with a
special favor of something of this Fai (booty) which he gave to nobody
else." 'Umar then recited the Holy Verses: "What Allah bestowed as
(Fai) Booty on his Apostle (Muhammad) from them --- for this you made no
expedition with either cavalry or camelry: But Allah gives power to His
Apostles over whomever He will 'And Allah is able to do all things." 9:6)
'Umar
added "So this property was especially given to Allah's Apostle, but, by
Allah, neither did he take possession of it and leave your, nor did he favor
himself with it to your exclusion, but he gave it to all of you and distributed
it amongst you till this property remained out of it. Allah's Apostle used to
spend the yearly expenses of his family out of this property and used to keep the
rest of its revenue to be spent on Allah 's Cause. Allah 's Apostle kept on
doing this during all his lifetime. I ask you by Allah do you know this?"
They replies in the affirmative. 'Umar then said to 'Ali and 'Abbas. "I
ask you by Allah, do you know this?" 'Umar added, "When Allah had
taken His Prophet unto Him, 'Abu Bakr said, 'I am the successor of Allah's
Apostle so, Abu Bakr took over that property and managed it in the same way as
Allah's Apostle used to do, and Allah knows that he was true, pious and
rightly-guided, and he was a follower of what was right. Then Allah took Abu
Bakr unto Him and I became Abu Bakr's successor, and I kept that property in my
possession for the first two years of my Caliphate, managing it in the same way
as Allah's Apostle used to do and as Abu Bakr used to do, and Allah knows that
I have been true, pious, rightly guided, and a follower of what is right. Now
you both (i.e. 'Ah and 'Abbas) came to talk to me, bearing the same claim and
presenting the same case; you, 'Abbas, came to me asking for your share from
your nephew's property, and this man, i.e. 'Ali, came to me asking for his
wife's share from her father's property. I told you both that Allah's Apostle
said, 'Our (prophets') properties are not to be inherited, but what we leave is
Sadaqa (to be used for charity).' When I thought it right that I should hand
over this property to you, I said to you, 'I am ready to hand over this
property to you if you wish, on the condition that you would take Allah's
Pledge and Convention that you would manage it in the same way as Allah's
Apostle used to, and as Abu Bakr used to do, and as I have done since I was in
charge of it.' So, both of you said (to me), 'Hand it over to us,' and on that
condition I handed it over to you. So, I ask you by Allah, did I hand it over
to them on this condition?" The group aid, "Yes." Then 'Umar
faced 'Ali and Abbas saying, "I ask you by Allah, did I hand it over to
you on this condition?" They said, "Yes. " He said, " Do
you want now to give a different decision? By Allah, by Whose Leave both the
Heaven and the Earth exist, I will never give any decision other than that (I
have already given). And if you are unable to manage it, then return it to me,
and I will do the job on your behalf."

wants to consummate the marriage, and has not done so yet, should not accompany
me; nor should a man who has built a house but has not completed its roof; nor
a man who has sheep or shecamels and is waiting for the birth of their young
ones.' So, the prophet carried out the expedition and when he reached that town
at the time or nearly at the time of the 'Asr prayer, he said to the sun, 'O
sun! You are under Allah's Order and I am under Allah's Order O Allah! Stop it
(i.e. the sun) from setting.' It was stopped till Allah made him victorious.
Then
he collected the booty and the fire came to burn it, but it did not burn it. He
said (to his men), 'Some of you have stolen something from the booty. So one
man from every tribe should give me a pledge of allegiance by shaking hands
with me.' (They did so and) the hand of a man got stuck over the hand of their
prophet. Then that prophet said (to the man), 'The theft has been committed by
your people. So all the persons of your tribe should give me the pledge of
allegiance by shaking hands with me.' The hands of two or three men got stuck
over the hand of their prophet and he said, "You have committed the theft.'
Then they brought a head of gold like the head of a cow and put it there, and
the fire came and consumed the booty. The Prophet added: Then Allah saw our
weakness and disability, so he made booty legal for us."

When
Az-Zubair got up during the battle of Al-Jamal, he called me and I stood up
beside him, and he said to me, "O my son! Today one will be killed either
as an oppressor or as an oppressed one. I see that I will be killed as an
oppressed one. My biggest worry is my debts. Do you think, if we pay the debts,
there will be something left for us from our money?" Az-Zubair added,
"O my son! Sell our property and pay my debts." Az-Zubair then willed
one-third of his property and willed one-third of that portion to his sons;
namely, 'Abdullah's sons. He said, "One-third of the one third. If any
property is left after the payment of the debts, one-third (of the one-third of
what is left) is to be given to your sons." (Hisham, a sub-narrator added,
"Some of the sons of 'Abdullah were equal in age to the sons of Az-Zubair
e.g. Khubaib and 'Abbas. 'Abdullah had nine sons and nine daughters at that
time." (The narrator 'Abdullah added:) My father (Az-Zubair) went on
drawing my attention to his debts saying, "If you should fail to pay part
of the debts, appeal to my Master to help you." By Allah! I could not
understand what he meant till I asked, "O father! Who is your
Master?" He replied, "Allah (is my Master)." By Allah, whenever
I had any difficulty regarding his debts, I would say, "Master of
Az-Zubair! Pay his debts on his behalf ." and Allah would (help me to) pay
it. Az-Zubair was martyred leaving no Dinar or Dirham but two pieces of land,
one of which was (called) Al-Ghaba, and eleven houses in Medina, two in Basra,
one in Kufa and one in Egypt. In fact, the source of the debt which he owed
was, that if somebody brought some money to deposit with him. Az Zubair would
say, "No, (i won't keep it as a trust), but I take it as a debt, for I am
afraid it might be lost." Az-Zubair was never appointed governor or
collector of the tax of Kharaj or any other similar thing, but he collected his
wealth (from the war booty he gained) during the holy battles he took part in,
in the company of the Prophet, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Uthman. ('Abdullah bin
Az-Zubair added:) When I counted his debt, it turned to be two million and two
hundred thousand. (The sub-narrator added:) Hakim bin Hizam met Abdullah bin
Zubair and asked, "O my nephew! How much is the debt of my brother?"
'Abdullah kept it as a secret and said, "One hundred thousand," Hakim
said, "By Allah! I don't think your property will cover it." On that
'Abdullah said to him, "What if it is two million and two hundred
thousand?" Hakim said, "I don't think you can pay it; so if you are
unable to pay all of it, I will help you." Az-Zubair had already bought
Al-Ghaba for one hundred and seventy thousand. 'Abdullah sold it for one
million and six hundred thousand. Then he called the people saying, "Any
person who has any money claim on Az-Zubair should come to us in
Al-Ghaba." There came to him 'Abdullah bin Ja'far whom Az-Zubair owed four
hundred thousand. He said to 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair, "If you wish I will
forgive you the debt." 'Abdullah (bin Az-Zubair) said, "No."
Then Ibn Ja'far said, "If you wish you can defer the payment if you should
defer the payment of any debt." Ibn Az-Zubair said, "No."
'Abdullah bin Ja'far said, "Give me a piece of the land." 'Abdullah
bin AzZubair said (to him), "Yours is the land extending from this place
to this place." So, 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair sold some of the property
(including the houses) and paid his debt perfectly, retaining four and a half
shares from the land (i.e. Al-Ghaba). He then went to Mu'awlya while 'Amr bin 'Uthman,
Al-Mundhir bin Az-Zubair and Ibn Zam'a were sitting with him. Mu'awiya asked,
"At what price have you appraised Al-Ghaba?" He said, "One
hundred thousand for each share," Muawiya asked, "How many shares

Al-Mundhir bin Az-Zubair said, "I would like to buy one share for one

"I would like to buy it for one hundred and fifty thousand."
'Abdullah also sold his part to Muawiya six hundred thousand. When Ibn AzZubair
had paid all the debts. Az-Zubair's sons said to him, "Distribute our
inheritance among us." He said, "No, by Allah, I will not distribute
it among you till I announce in four successive Hajj seasons, 'Would those who
have money claims on Az-Zubair come so that we may pay them their debt."
So, he started to announce that in public in every Hajj season, and when four
years had elapsed, he distributed the inheritance among the inheritors.
Az-Zubair had four wives, and after the one-third of his property was excluded
(according to the will), each of his wives received one million and two hundred
thousand. So the total amount of his property was fifty million and two hundred
thousand.

When
the Hawazin delegation came to Allah's Apostle after they had embraced Islam
and requested him to return their properties and war prisoners to them, Allah's
Apostle said, "To me the best talk is the truest, so you may choose either
of two things; the war prisoners or the wealth, for I have delayed their
distribution." Allah's Apostle had waited for them for over ten days when
he returned from Ta'if. So, when those people came to know that Allah's Apostle
was not going to return to them except one of the two things the said, "We
choose our war Prisoners 'Allah's Apostle stood up amongst the Muslims, and
after glorifying Allah as He deserved, he said, "Now then, these brothers
of yours have come to us with repentance, and I see it logical that I should
return their captives to them, so whoever of you likes to do that as a favor
then he can do it, and whoever amongst you likes to stick to his share, let him
give up his prisoners and we will compensate him from the very first Fai' (i.e.
war booty received without fight) which Allah will give us." On that, all
the people said. 'O Allah's Apostles We have agreed willingly to do so (return
the captives)" Then Allah's Apostle said to them "I do not know who
amongst you has agreed to this and who has not. You should return and let your
leaders inform me of your agreement." The people returned and their
leaders spoke to them, and then came to Allah's Apostle and said, "All the
people have agreed willingly to do so and have given the permission to return
the war prisoners (without Compensation)" (Az-Zuhri, the sub-narrator

share the meal but he (apologised) saying. "I saw chickens eating dirty
things and so I have had a strong aversion to eating them, and have taken an
oath that I will not eat chickens." Abu Musa said, "Come along, I
will tell you about this matter (i.e. how to cancel one's oat ). I went to the
Prophet in the company of a group of Al-Ashariyin, asked him to provide us with
means of conveyance. He said, 'By Allah, I will not provide you with any means
of conveyance and I have nothing to make you ride on.' Then some camels as
booty were brought to Allah's Apostle and he asked for us saying. 'Where are
the group of Al-Ash'ariyun?' Then he ordered that we should be given five
camels with white humps. When we set out we said, 'What have we done? We will
never be blessed (with what we have been given).' So, we returned to the
Prophet and said, 'We asked you to provide us with means of conveyance, but you
took an oath that you would not provide us with any means of conveyance. Did
you forget (your oath when you gave us the camels)? He replied. 'I have not
provided you with means of conveyance, but Allah has provided you with it, and

"This is the Will of Allah," After the people returned, the Prophet
sat and said, "Anyone who has killed an enemy and has a proof of that,

compensate him on my behalf." On that Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said, "No,

gained by one of Allah's Lions who fights on the behalf of Allah and His

"If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth
belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So,
if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise
you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."

After that Ibn 'Abbas wept till the stones on the ground were soaked with his
tears. On that I asked Ibn 'Abbas, "What is (about) Thursday?" He
said, "When the condition (i.e. health) of Allah's Apostle deteriorated,
he said, 'Bring me a bone of scapula, so that I may write something for you
after which you will never go astray.'The people differed in their opinions
although it was improper to differ in front of a prophet, They said, 'What is
wrong with him? Do you think he is delirious? Ask him (to understand). The
Prophet replied, 'Leave me as I am in a better state than what you are asking
me to do.' Then the Prophet ordered them to do three things saying, 'Turn out
all the pagans from the Arabian Peninsula, show respect to all foreign
delegates by giving them gifts as I used to do.' " The sub-narrator added,
"The third order was something beneficial which either Ibn 'Abbas did not
mention or he mentioned but I forgot.'

When

as a gift (by the Jews). The Prophet ordered, "Let all the Jews who have
been here, be assembled before me." The Jews were collected and the
Prophet said (to them), "I am going to ask you a question. Will you tell
the truth?'' They said, "Yes.' The Prophet asked, "Who is your
father?" They replied, "So-and-so." He said, "You have told
a ie; your father is so-and-so." They said, "You are right." He
siad, "Will you now tell me the truth, if I ask you about something?"
They replied, "Yes, O AbuAl-Qasim; and if we should tell a lie, you can
realize our lie as you have done regarding our father." On that he asked,
"Who are the people of the (Hell) Fire?" They said, "We shall
remain in the (Hell) Fire for a short period, and after that you will replace us."
The Prophet said, "You may be cursed and humiliated in it! By Allah, we
shall never replace you in it.'' Then he asked, "Will you now tell me the
truth if I ask you a question?" They said, "Yes, O Ab
Li-AI-Qasim." He asked, "Have you poisoned this sheep?" They
said, "Yes." He asked, "What made you do so?" They said,
"We wanted to know if you were a liar in which case we would get rid of
you, and if you are a prophet then the poison would not harm you."

Prophet had sent 40 or 70 Qaris (i.e. men well versed in the knowledge of the
Qur'an) to some pagans, but the latter struggled with them and martyred them,
although there was a peace pact between them and the Prophet I had never seen
the Prophet so sorry and worried about anybody as he was about them (i.e. the

kept silent and the other two spoke. The Prophet said, "If you swear as to
who has committed the murder, you will have the right to take your right from
the murderer." They said, "How should we swear if we did not witness
the murder or see the murderer?" The Prophet said, "Then the Jews can
clear themselves from the charge by taking Alaska (an oath taken by men that it
was not they who committed the murder)." The!y said, "How should we
believe in the oaths of infidels?" So, the Prophet himself paid the blood

in the company of others to make this announcement: "After this year, no
pagan will be allowed to perform the Hajj, and none will be allowed to perform
the Tawaf of the Ka'ba undressed." And the day of Al-Hajj-ul-Akbar is the
day of Nahr, and it called Al-Akbar because the people call the 'Umra
Al-Hajj-ul-Asghar (i.e. the minor Hajj). Abu Bakr threw back the pagans' covenant
that year, and therefore, no pagan performed the Hajj in the year of
Hajj-ul-Wada' of the Prophets.

When
the Prophet intended to perform the 'Umra he sent a person to the people of
Mecca asking their permission to enter Mecca. They stipulated that he would not
stay for more than three days and would not enter it except with sheathed arms
and would not preach (Islam) to any of them. So Ali bin Abi-Talib started
writing the treaty between them. He wrote, "This is what Muhammad, Apostle
of Allah has agreed to." The (Meccans) said, "If we knew that you
(Muhammad) are the Apostle of Allah, then we would not have prevented you and
would have followed you. But write, 'This is what Muhammad bin 'Abdullah has
agreed to..' " On that Allah's Apostle said, "By Allah, I am Muhammad
bin 'Abdullah, and, by Allah, I am Apostle of 'Allah." Allah's Apostle
used not to write; so he asked 'Ali to erase the expression of Apostle of
Allah. On that 'Ali said, "By Allah I will never erase it." Allah's
Apostle said (to 'Ali), "Let me see the paper." When 'Ali showed him
the paper, the Prophet erased the expression with his own hand. When Allah's
Apostle had entered Mecca and three days had elapsed, the Meccans came to 'Ali
and said, "Let your friend (i.e. the Prophet) quit Mecca." Ali
informed Allah's Apostle about it and Allah's Apostle said, "Yes,"

Destroy Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Shaiba bin Rabi'a. 'Uqba bin Abi
Mu'ait 'Umaiya bin Khalaf (or Ubai bin Kalaf)." Later on I saw all of them

sanctuary since the day He created the Heavens and the Earth. So, it is a
sanctuary by Allah's Decree till the Day of Resurrection. Fighting in it was
not legal for anyone before me, and it was made legal for me only for an hour
by daytime. So, it (i.e. Mecca) is a sanctuary by Allah's Decree till the Day
of Resurrection. Its thorny bushes should not be cut, and its game should not
be chased, its fallen property (i.e. Luqata) should not be picked up except by
one who will announce it publicly; and its grass should not be uprooted,"
On that Al-'Abbas said, "O Allah's Apostle! Except the Idhkhir, because it
is used by the goldsmiths and by the people for their houses." On that the
Prophet said, "Except the Idhkhir."
