Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
"Allah's Apostle sent an army towards
the east coast and appointed Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as their
chief, and the army consisted of three-hundred men including
myself. We marched on till we reached a place where our food was
about to finish. Abu- 'Ubaida ordered us to collect all the
journey food and it was collected. My (our) journey food was
dates. Abu 'Ubaida kept on giving us our daily ration in small
amounts from it, till it was exhausted. The share of everyone of
us used to be one date only." I said, "How could one date
benefit you?" Jabir replied, "We came to know its value when
even that too finished." Jabir added, "When we reached the
sea-shore, we saw a huge fish which was like a small mountain.
The army ate from it for eighteen days. Then Abu 'Ubaida ordered
that two of its ribs be fixed and they were fixed in the ground.
Then he ordered that a she-camel be ridden and it passed under
the two ribs (forming an arch) without touching them."
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 664:
Narrated Salama:
Once the journey food diminished and
the people were reduced to poverty. They went to the Prophet and
asked his permission to slaughter their camels, and he agreed.
'Umar met them and they told him about it, and he said, "How
would you survive after slaughtering your camels?" Then he went
to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! How would they
survive after slaughtering their camels?" Allah's Apostle
ordered 'Umar, "Call upon the people to bring what has remained
of their food." A leather sheet was spread and al I the journey
food was collected and heaped over it. Allah's Apostle stood up
and invoked Allah to bless it, and then directed all the people
to come with their utensils, and they started taking from it
till all of them got what was sufficient for them. Allah's
Apostle then said, "I testify that None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, and I am His Apostle. "
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 665:
Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
We used to offer the 'Asr prayer with
the Prophet and slaughter a camel, the meat of which would be
divided in ten parts. We would eat the cooked meat before
sunset.
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 666:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet said, "When the people of
Ash'ari tribe ran short of food during the holy battles, or the
food of their families in Medina ran short, they would collect
all their remaining food in one sheet and then distribute it
among themselves equally by measuring it with a bowl. So, these
people are from me, and I am from them."

pay its Zakat equally.
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 668:
Narrated 'Abaya bin Rafa'a bin Raft'
bin Khadij:
My grandfather said, "We were in the
company of the Prophet at Dhul-Hulaifa. The people felt hungry
and captured some camels and sheep (as booty). The Prophet was
behind the people. They hurried and slaughtered the animals and
put their meat in pots and started cooking it. (When the Prophet
came) he ordered the pots to be upset and then he distributed
the animals (of the booty), regarding ten sheep as equal to one
camel. One of the camels fled and the people ran after it till
they were exhausted. At that time there were few horses. A man
threw an arrow at the camel, and Allah stopped the camel with
it. The Prophet said, "Some of these animals are like wild
animals, so if you lose control over one of these animals, treat
it in this way (i.e. shoot it with an arrow)." Before
distributing them among the soldiers my grandfather said, "We
may meet the enemies in the future and have no knives; can we
slaughter the animals with reeds?" The Prophet said, "Use
whatever causes blood to flow, and eat the animals if the name
of Allah has been mentioned on slaughtering them. Do not
slaughter with teeth or fingernails and I will tell you why: It
is because teeth are bones (i.e. cannot cut properly) and
fingernails are the tools used by the Ethiopians (whom we should
not imitate for they are infidels)."
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 669:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet decreed that one should not
eat two dates together at a time unless he gets the permission
from his companions (sharing the meal with him).
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 670:
Narrated Jabala:
"While at Medina we were struck with
famine. Ibn Az-Zubair used to provide us with dates as our food.
Ibn 'Umar used to pass by us and say, "Don't eat two dates
together at a time as the Prophet has forbidden eating two dates
together at a time (in a gathering) unless one takes the
permission of one's companion brother."
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 671:
Narrated Nafi:
Ibn 'Umar said, "Allah's Apostle said,
'If one manumits his share of a jointly possessed slave, and can
afford the price of the other shares according to the adequate
price of the slave, the slave will be completely manumitted;
otherwise he will be partially manumitted.' " (Aiyub, a
sub-narrator is not sure whether the saying " ... otherwise he
will be partially manumitted" was said by Nafi' or the Prophet.)
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 672:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his
share of a jointly possessed slave, it is imperative for him to
get that slave manumitted completely by paying the remaining
price, and if he does not have sufficient money to manumit him,
then the price of the slave should be estimated justly, and he
is to be allowed to work and earn the amount that will manumit
him (without overburdening him)".
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 673:
Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:
The Prophet said, "The example of the
person abiding by Allah's order and restrictions in comparison
to those who violate them is like the example of those persons
who drew lots for their seats in a boat. Some of them got seats
in the upper part, and the others in the lower. When the latter
needed water, they had to go up to bring water (and that
troubled the others), so they said, 'Let us make a hole in our
share of the ship (and get water) saving those who are above us
from troubling them. So, if the people in the upper part left
the others do what they had suggested, all the people of the
ship would be destroyed, but if they prevented them, both
parties would be safe."
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 674:
Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
That he had asked 'Aisha about the
meaning of the Statement of Allah: "If you fear that you shall
not Be able to deal justly With the orphan girls, then Marry
(Other) women of your choice Two or three or four." (4.3)
She said, "O my nephew! This is about
the orphan girl who lives with her guardian and shares his
property. Her wealth and beauty may tempt him to marry her
without giving her an adequate Mahr (bridal-money) which might
have been given by another suitor. So, such guardians were
forbidden to marry such orphan girls unless they treated them
justly and gave them the most suitable Mahr; otherwise they were
ordered to marry any other woman." 'Aisha further said, "After
that verse the people again asked the Prophet (about the
marriage with orphan 'girls), so Allah revealed the following
verses:-- 'They ask your instruction Concerning the women. Say:
Allah Instructs you about them And about what is Recited unto
you In the Book, concerning The orphan girls to whom You give
not the prescribed portions and yet whom you Desire to marry..."
(4.127)
What is meant by Allah's Saying:-- 'And
about what is Recited unto you is the former verse which goes:--
'If you fear that you shall not Be able to deal justly With the
orphan girls, then Marry (other) women of your choice.' (4.3)
'Aisha said, "Allah's saying in the other verse:--'Yet whom you
desire to marry' (4.127) means the desire of the guardian to
marry an orphan girl under his supervision when she has not much
property or beauty (in which case he should treat her justly).
The guardians were forbidden to marry their orphan girls
possessing property and beauty without being just to them, as
they generally refrain from marrying them (when they are neither
beautiful nor wealthy)."
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 675:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet established the right of
Shu'fa (i.e. Pre-emption) in joint properties; but when the land
is divided and the ways are demarcated, then there is no
pre-emption.
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 676:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "The right of
pre-emption is valid in every joint property, but when the land
is divided and the way is demarcated, then there is no right of
pre-emption."
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 677:
Narrated Sulaiman bin Abu Muslim:
I asked Abu Minhal about money exchange
from hand to hand. He said, "I and a partner of mine bought
something partly in cash and partly on credit." Al-Bara' bin
'Azib passed by us and we asked about it. He replied, "I and my
partner Zaid bin Al-Arqam did the same and then went to the
Prophet and asked him about it. He said, 'Take what was from
hand to hand and leave what was on credit.' "

Volume 3, Book
44, Number 680:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Hisham:
that his mother Zainab bint Humaid took
him to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Take the pledge
of allegiance from him." But he said, "He is still too young for
the pledge," and passed his hand on his (i.e. 'Abdullah's) head
and invoked for Allah's blessing for him. Zuhra bin Ma'bad
stated that he used to go with his grandfather, 'Abdullah bin
Hisham, to the market to buy foodstuff. Ibn 'Umar and Ibn
Az-Zubair would meet him and say to him, "Be our partner, as the
Prophet invoked Allah to bless you." So, he would be their
partner, and very often he would win a camel's load and send it
home.
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 681:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his
share o a jointly possessed slave, it is imperative on him to
manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money to pay
the rest of its price which is to be estimated justly. He should
pay his partners their shares and release him (the freed one).
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 682:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Whoever manumits his
share of a jointly possessed slave, it is essential for him to
manumit the slave completely if he has sufficient money.
Otherwise he should look for some work for the slave (to earn
what would enable him to emancipate himself), without
overburdening him with work."
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 683:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet (along with his companions)
reached Mecca in the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hijja
assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when we arrived at Mecca, the
Prophet ordered us to change our intentions of the Ihram
for'Umra and that we could finish our Ihram after performing the
'Umra and could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The
people began talking about that. Jabir said surprisingly, "Shall
we go to Mina while semen is dribbling from our male organs?"
Jabir moved his hand while saying so. When this news reached the
Prophet he delivered a sermon and said, "I have been informed
that some peoples were saying so and so; By Allah I fear Allah
more than you do, and am more obedient to Him than you. If I had
known what I know now, I would not have brought the Hadi
(sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not been with me, I would
have finished the Ihram." At that Suraqa bin Malik stood up and
asked "O Allah's Apostle! Is this permission for us only or is
it forever?" The Prophet replied, "It is forever." In the
meantime 'Ali bin Abu Talib came from Yemen and was saying
Labbaik for what the Prophet has intended. (According to another
man, 'Ali was saying Labbaik for Hajj similar to Allah's
Apostle's). The Prophet told him to keep on the Ihram and let
him share the Hadi with him.
Volume 3, Book
44, Number 684:
Narrated Abaya bin Rifaa:
My grandfather, Rafi bin Khadij said,
"We were in the valley of Dhul-Hulaifa of Tuhama in the company
of the Prophet and had some camels and sheep (of the booty). The
people hurried (in slaughtering the animals) and put their meat
in the pots and started cooking. Allah's Apostle came and
ordered them to upset the pots, and distributed the booty
considering one camel as equal to ten sheep. One of the camels
fled and the people had only a few horses, so they got worried.
(The camel was chased and) a man slopped the camel by throwing
an arrow at it. Allah's Apostle said, 'Some of these animals are
untamed like wild animals, so if anyone of them went out of your
control, then you should treat it as you have done now.' " My
grandfather said, "O Allah's Apostle! We fear that we may meet
our enemy tomorrow and we have no knives, could we slaughter the
animals with reeds?" The Prophet said, "Yes, or you can use what
would make blood flow (slaughter) and you can eat what is
slaughtered and the Name of Allah is mentioned at the time of
slaughtering. But don't use teeth or fingernails (in
slaughtering). I will tell you why, as for teeth, they are
bones, and fingernails are used by Ethiopians for slaughtering.
