The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If anyone resorts
to a diviner and believes in what he says (according) to
the version of Musa), or has intercourse with his wife
(according to the agreed version) when she is
menstruating, or has intercourse with his wife through her
anus, he has nothing to do with what has been sent down to
Muhammad (peace_be_upon_him) - according to the version of
Musaddad.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If anyone
acquires any knowledge of astrology, he acquires a branch
of magic of which he gets more as long as he continues to
do so.
I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say:
Augury from the flight of birds, taking evil omens and the
practice of pressomancy pertain to divination. Tarq: It is
used in the sense of divination in which women threw
stones. 'Iyafah: It means geomancy by drawing lines.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Taking omens is
polytheism; taking omens is polytheism. He said it three
times. Every one of us has some, but Allah removes it by
trust (in Him).
When taking omens was mentioned in the presence of the
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), he said: The best type is the
good omen, and it does not turn back a Muslim. If one of
you sees anything he dislikes, he should say: O Allah, no
one brings good things except Thee, and no one averts evil
things except Thee and there is no might and power but in
Allah.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) did not take omens from
anything, but when he sent out an agent he asked about his
name. If it pleased him, he was glad about it, and his
cheerfulness on that account was visible in his face. If
he disliked his name, his displeasure on that account was
visible in his face. When he entered a village, he asked
about its name, and if it pleased him, he was glad about
it, and his cheerfulness on that account was visible in
his face. But if he disliked its name, his displeasure on
that account was visible in his face.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: There is no hamah,
no infection and no evil omen; if there is in anything an
evil omen, it is a house, a horse, and a woman.
Yahya ibn Abdullah ibn Buhayr said that he was informed
by one who had heard Farwah ibn Musayk tell that he said:
Apostle of Allah! we have land called Abyan, which is the
land where we have our fields and grow our crops, but it
is very unhealthy. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said:
Leave it, for destruction comes from being near disease.
A man said: Apostle of Allah! we were in an abode in
which our numbers and our goods were many and changed to
an abode in which our numbers and our goods became few.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Leave it,
for it is reprehensible.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) took a man who
was suffering from tubercular leprosy by the hand; he then
put it along with his own hand in the dish and said: Eat
with confidence in Allah and trust in Him.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A slave who has
entered into an agreement to purchase his freedom is a
slave as long as a dirham of the agreed price remains to
be paid.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If any slave
entered into an agreement to buy his freedom for one
hundred uqiyahs and he pays them all but ten, he remains a
slave (until he pays the remaining ten); and if a slave
entered into an agreement to purchase his freedom for one
hundred dinars, and he pays them all but ten dinars, he
remains a slave (until he pays the remaining ten).
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said to us: If
one of you has a slave, and he enters into an agreement to
purchase his freedom, and can pay the full price, she must
veil herself from him.
Juwayriyyah, daughter of al-Harith ibn al-Mustaliq,
fell to the lot of Thabit ibn Qays ibn Shammas, or to her
cousin. She entered into an agreement to purchase her
freedom. She was a very beautiful woman, most attractive
to the eye.
Aisha said: She then came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
asking him for the purchase of her freedom. When she was
standing at the door, I looked at her with disapproval. I
realised that the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
would look at her in the same way that I had looked.
She said: Apostle of Allah, I am Juwayriyyah, daughter
of al-Harith, and something has happened to me, which is
not hidden from you. I have fallen to the lot of Thabit
ibn Qays ibn Shammas, and I have entered into an agreement
to purchase of my freedom. I have come to you to seek
assistance for the purchase of my freedom.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Are you
inclined to that which is better? She asked: What is that,
Apostle of Allah? He replied: I shall pay the price of
your freedom on your behalf, and I shall marry you.
She said: I shall do this. She (Aisha) said: The people
then heard that the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
had married Juwayriyyah. They released the captives in
their possession and set them free, and said: They are the
relatives of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) by
marriage. We did not see any woman greater than
Juwayriyyah who brought blessings to her people. One
hundred families of Banu al-Mustaliq were set free on
account of her.
Safinah said: I was a slave of Umm Salamah, and she
said: I shall emancipate you, but I stipulate that you
must serve the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) as
long as you live. I said: Even if you do not make a
stipulation, I shall not leave the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him).
She then emancipated me and made the stipulation with me.
(This is AbulWalid's version): A man emancipated a
share in a slave and the matter was mentioned to the
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him). He said: Allah has no
partner.
Ibn Kathir added in his version: The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
allowed his emancipation.
A man emancipated his share in a slave. The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
allowed his (full) emancipation, and required him to pay
the rest of his price.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: (The narrator
Musa said in another place: From Samurah ibn Jundub as
presumed by Hammad): If anyone gets possession of a
relative who is within the prohibited degrees, that person
becomes free. AbuDawud said: A similar tradition has also
been transmitted by Samurah from the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
through a different chain.
Qatadah reported Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be
pleased with him) as saying: If anyone gets possession of
a relative who is within the prohibited degrees, that
person becomes free.
My uncle brought me (to Medina) in the pre-Islamic
days. He sold me to al-Hubab ibn Amr, brother of AbulYusr
ibn Amr. I bore a child, AbdurRahman ibn al-Hubab, to him
and he (al-Hubab) then died.
Thereupon his wife said: I swear by Allah, now you will
be sold (as a repayment) for his loan.
So I came to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him)
and said: Apostle of Allah! I am a woman of Banu Kharijah
Qays ibn Aylan. My uncle had brought me to Medina in
pre-Islamic days. He sold me to al-Hubab ibn Amr, brother
of AbulYusr ibn Amr. I bore AbdurRahman ibn al-Hubab to
him. His wife said: I swear by Allah, you will be sold for
his loan.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Who is
the guardian of al-Hubab?
He was told: His brother, AbulYusr ibn Amr. He then
sent for him and said: Set her free; when you hear that
some slaves have been brought to me, came to me, and I
shall compensate you for her.
She said: They set me free, and when some slaves were
brought to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him), he
gave them a slave in compensation for me.
We sold slave-mothers during the time of the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and of AbuBakr. When Umar was in
power, he forbade us and we stopped.
Al-Arif ibn ad-Daylami said: We went to Wathilah ibn
al-Asqa and said to him: Tell us a tradition which has not
addition or omission. He became angry and replied: One of
you recites when his copy of a Qur'an is hung up in his
house, and he makes additions and omissions. We said: All
we mean is a tradition you have heard from the Apostle of
Allah (peace_be_upon_him). He said: We went to the Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him) about a friend of ours who deserved.
Hell for murder. He said: Emancipate a slave on his
behalf; Allah will set free from Hell a member of the body
for every member of his.
Along with the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) we
besieged the palace of at-Ta'if. The narrator, Mutadh,
said: I heard my father (sometimes) say: "Palace of at-Ta'if,"
and (sometimes) "Fort of at-Ta'if," which are the same.
I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say:
he who causes an arrow to hit its mark in Allah's cause
will have it counted as a degree for him (in Paradise). He
then transmitted the rest of the tradition.
I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say:
If a Muslim man emancipates a Muslim man, Allah, the
Exalted, will make every bone of his protection for every
bone of his emancipator from Hell; and if a Muslim woman
emancipates a Muslim woman, Allah will make every bone of
hers protection for every bone of her emancipator from
Hell on the Day of Resurrection.
Amr ibn Abasah, said that Marrah ibn Ka'b said: I heard
the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: If anyone
emancipates a Muslim slave, that will be his ransom from
Jahannam.
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: the similitude of
a man who emancipates a slave at the time of his death is
like that of a man who gives a present after satisfying
his appetite.
