took ‘Abdullah bin Abu Talha to Allah’s Apostle to perform Tahnik for him. (Tahnik was a custom
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.

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.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar
The Prophet said, “A man keeps on asking others for something till he comes on the Day of Resur –
rection without any piece of flesh on his face.” The Prophet added, “On the Day of Resurrection, the
Sun will come near (to, the people) to such an extent that the sweat will reach up to the middle of
the ears, so, when all the people are in that state, they will ask Adam for help, and then Moses, and
then Muhammad (p.b.u.h) .” The sub-narrator added “Muhammad will intercede with Allah to judge
amongst the people. He will proceed on till he will hold the ring of the door (of Paradise) and then
Allah will exalt him to Maqam Mahmud (the privilege of intercession, etc.). And all the people of the
gathering will send their praises to Allah.
