O `Asim! Please ask Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about this matter on my behalf.” `Asim asked the Prophet (ﷺ) but the Prophet disliked the question and disapproved of it. `Asim returned and informed ‘Uwaimir that the Prophet disliked that type of question. ‘Uwaimir said, “By Allah, I will go (personally) to the Prophet.” ‘Uwaimir came to the Prophet (ﷺ) when Allah had already revealed Qur’anic Verses (in that respect), after `Asim had left (the Prophet (ﷺ) ). So the Prophet (ﷺ) said to ‘Uwaimir, “Allah has revealed Qur’anic Verses regarding you and your wife.” The Prophet (ﷺ) then called for them, and they came and carried out the order of Lian. Then ‘Uwaimir said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Now if I kept her with me, I would be accused of telling a lie.” So ‘Uwaimir divorced her although the Prophet (ﷺ) did not order him to do so. Later on this practice of divorcing became the tradition of couples involved in a case of Li’an. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the people). “Wait for her! If she delivers a red short (small) child like a Wahra (a short red animal). then I will be of the opinion that he (‘Uwaimir) has told a lie but if she delivered a black big-eyed one with big buttocks, then I will be of the opinion that he has told the truth about her.” ‘Ultimately she gave birth to a child that proved the accusation.

I proceeded till I entered upon `Umar (and while I was sitting there), his gate-keeper Yarfa came to him and said, ” `Uthman, `Abdur-Rahman, Az-Zubair and Sa`d ask your permission to come in.” `Umar allowed them. So they entered, greeted, and sat down. (After a while the gatekeeper came) and said, “Shall I admit `Ali and `Abbas?” `Umar allowed them to enter. Al-`Abbas said “O Chief of the believers! Judge between me and the oppressor (`Ali).” Then there was a dispute (regarding the property of Bani Nadir) between them (`Abbas and `Ali). `Uthman and his companions said, “O Chief of the Believers! Judge between them and relieve one from the other.” `Umar said, “Be patient! beseech you by Allah, with Whose permission the Heaven and the Earth Exist! Do you know that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘Our property is not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be given in charity,’ and by this Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) meant himself?” On that the group said, “He verily said so.” `Umar then faced `Ali and `Abbas and said, “I beseech you both by Allah, do you both know that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said so?” They both replied, “Yes”. `Umar then said, “Now I am talking to you about this matter (in detail) . Allah favored Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) with some of this wealth which He did not give to anybody else, as Allah said: ‘What Allah bestowed as Fai (Booty on His Apostle for which you made no expedition… ‘ (59.6) So that property was totally meant for Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), yet he did not collect it and ignore you, nor did he withhold it with your exclusion, but he gave it to you and distributed it among you till this much of it was left behind, and the Prophet, used to spend of this as the yearly expenditures of his family and then take what remained of it and spent it as he did with (other) Allah’s wealth. The Prophet (ﷺ) did so during all his lifetime, and I beseech you by Allah, do you know that?” They replied, “Yes.” `Umar then addressed `Ali and `Abbas, saying, “I beseech you both by Allah, do you know that?” Both of them replied, “Yes.” `Umar added, “Then Allah took His Apostle unto Him. Abu Bakr then said ‘I am the successor of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)’ and took over all the Prophet’s property and disposed of it in the same way as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to do, and you were present then.” Then he turned to `Ali and `Abbas and said, “You both claim that Abu Bakr did so-and-so in managing the property, but Allah knows that Abu Bakr was honest, righteous, intelligent, and a follower of what is right in managing it. Then Allah took Abu Bakr unto Him, ‘I said: I am the successor of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr.’ So I took over the property for two years and managed it in the same way as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and Abu Bakr used to do. Then you both (`Ali and `Abbas) came to me and asked for the same thing! (O `Abbas! You came to me to ask me for your share from nephew’s property; and this (`Ali) came to me asking for his wives share from her father’s property, and I said to you both, ‘If you wish, I will place it in your custody on condition that you both will manage it in the same way as Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr did and as I have been doing since I took charge of managing it; otherwise, do not speak to me anymore about it.’ Then you both said, ‘Give it to us on that (condition).’ So I gave it to you on that condition. Now I beseech you by Allah, did I not give it to them on that condition?” The group (whom he had been addressing) replied, “Yes.” `Umar then addressed `Abbas and `Ali saying, “I beseech you both by Allah, didn’t I give you all that property on that condition?” They said, “Yes.” `Umar then said, “Are you now seeking a verdict from me other than that? By Him with Whose Permission the Heaven and the Earth exists I will not give any verdict other than that till the Hour is established; and if you both are unable to manage this property, then you can hand it back to me, and I will be sufficient for it on your behalf.” (See, Hadith No. 326, Vol. 4)

He then said, “No woman among you who has lost her three children (died) but that they will screen her from the Fire.” A woman among them said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Horses may be used for three purposes: For a man they may be a source of reward (in the Hereafter); for another, a means of protection; and for another, a source of sin. The man for whom they are a source of reward, is the one who keeps them for Allah’s Cause and ties them with long ropes and lets them graze in a pasture or garden. Whatever those long ropes allow them to eat of that pasture or garden, will be written as good deeds for him and if they break their ropes and run one or two rounds, then all their footsteps and dung will be written as good deeds for him, and if they pass a river and drink from it though he has had no intention of watering them, even then, that will be written as good deeds for him. So such horses are a source of reward for that man. For the man who keeps horses for his livelihood in order not to ask others for help or beg his bread, and at the same time he does not forget Allah’s right of what he earns through them and of their backs (that he presents it to be used in Allah’s Cause), such horses are a shelter for him (from poverty). For the man who keeps them just out of pride and for showing off, they are a source of sin.” Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was asked about donkeys. He said, “Allah has not revealed anything to me regarding them except this comprehensive Verse: “Then anyone who has done good, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it, and any one who has done evil, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it.” (99.7-8)

Narrated Ubaidullah:
Ibn `Abbas said, “Why do you ask the people of the scripture about anything while your Book (Qur’an) which has been revealed to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) is newer and the latest? You read it pure, undistorted and unchanged, and Allah has told you that the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) changed their scripture and distorted it, and wrote the scripture with their own hands and said, ‘It is from Allah,’ to sell it for a little gain. Does not the knowledge which has come to you prevent you from asking them about anything? No, by Allah, we have never seen any man from them asking you regarding what has been revealed to you!”

Some of them said, “Come near so that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) may write for you a writing after which you will not go astray,” while some of them said what `Umar said. When they made much noise and differed greatly before the Prophet, he said to them, “Go away and leave me.” Ibn `Abbas used to say, “It was a great disaster that their difference and noise prevented Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) from writing that writing for them.

And when we arrived (in Mecca) the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered us to finish the state of Ihram, saying, “Finish your lhram and go to your wives (for sexual relation).” Jabir added, “The Prophet did not oblige us (to go to our wives) but he only made that legal for us. Then he heard that we were saying, “When there remains only five days between us and the Day of `Arafat he orders us to finish our Ihram by sleeping with our wives in which case we will proceed to `Arafat with our male organs dribbling with semen?’ (Jabir pointed out with his hand illustrating what he was saying). Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) stood up and said, ‘You (People) know that I am the most Allah-fearing, the most truthful and the best doer of good deeds (pious) from among you. If I had not brought the Hadi with me, I would have finished my Ihram as you will do, so finish your Ihram. If I had formerly known what I came to know lately, I would not have brought the Hadi with me.’ So we finished our Ihram and listened to the Prophet (ﷺ) and obeyed him.” (See Hadith No. 713, Vol. 2)

Usama gave his evidence that was based on what he knew about my innocence, but `Ali said, “Allah has not put restrictions on you and there are many women other than her. Furthermore you may ask the slave girl who will tell you the truth.” So the Prophet (ﷺ) asked Barira (my salve girl), “Have you seen anything that may arouse your suspicion?” She replied, “I have not seen anything more than that she is a little girl who sleeps, leaving the dough of her family (unguarded) that the domestic goats come and eat it.” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) stood on the pulpit and said, “O Muslims! Who will help me against the man who has harmed me by slandering my wife? By Allah, I know nothing about my family except good.” The narrator added: Then the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned the innocence of `Aisha. (See Hadith No. 274, Vol. 6)

Will you allow me to go to my parents’ home?” He allowed her and sent a slave along with her. An Ansari man said, “Subhanaka! It is not right for us to speak about this. Subhanaka! This is a great lie!”
