Some people from ‘Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them, so Allah’s
Apostle (p.b.u.h) allowed them to go to the herd of camels (given as Zakat) and they drank their milk
and urine (as medicine) but they killed the shepherd and drove away all the camels. So Allah’s
Apostle sent (men) in their pursuit to catch them, and they were brought, and he had their hands
and feet cut, and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron and they were left in the Harra
(a stony place at Medina) biting the stones. (See Hadith No. 234, Vol. 1)

among the Muslims that whenever a child was born they used to take it to the Prophet who would
chew a piece of date and put a part of its juice in the child’s mouth). I saw the Prophet and he had an
instrument for branding in his hands and was branding the camels of Zakat.

Umar bin Al-Khattab gave a horse in charity in Allah’s Cause and later he saw it being sold in the
market and intended to purchase it. Then he went to the Prophet and asked his permission. The

Volume 2, Book 24, Number 567:
Narrated ‘Umar:
Once I gave a horse in Allah’s Cause (in charity) but that person did not take care of it. I intended
to buy it, as I thought he would sell it at a low price. So, I asked the Prophet (p.b.u.h) about it. He said,
“Neither buy, nor take back your alms which you have given, even if the seller were willing to sell it
for one Dirham, for he who takes back his alms is like the one who swallows his own vomit.”
