Volume 3, Book 34, Number 411:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
I was with the Prophet while he was eating spadix. He said, “From the trees there is a tree which
resembles a faithful believer.” I wanted to say that it was the date palm, but I was the youngest
among them (so I kept quiet). He added, “It is the date palm.” Shuraih told the weavers, “You are per –
mitted to follow your own conventions to solve your problems (it is legal for you to stick to your tra –
ditions in bargain) . ”
Narrated ‘Abdul Wahab: Aiyub said: Muhammad said, “There is no harm in selling for eleven what
you buy for ten, and you are allowed to take a profit for expenses . ”

The Prophet told Hind, “Take what is reasonable and sufficient for you and your sons.” Allah says:
Whoever is poor, can eat (from the orphan’s property) reasonably (according to his labors).
Al-Hasan hired a donkey from ‘Abdullah bin Mirdas and asked him about the hire. The latter
replied that it was for two Daniqs (a Daniq equals 116th Dirham). So Al-Hasan rode away. Another
time, Al-Hasan came to ‘Abdullah bin Mirdas and asked him to hire the donkey to him and rode
away without asking him about the hire, but he sent him half a Dirham.
