Narrated Abu Ma’bad,:
(the slave of Ibn Abbas) Allah’s Apostle said to Muadh when he sent him to Yemen, “You will go to
the people of the Scripture. So, when you reach there, invite them to testify that none has the right to
be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle. And if they obey you in that, tell them
that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers in each day and night. And if they obey you in that tell
them that Allah has made it obligatory on them to pay the Zakat which will be taken from the rich
among them and given to the poor among them. If they obey you in that, then avoid taking the best
of their possessions, and be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person because there is no screen
between his invocation and Allah.”

The Prophet said, “A man from Bani Israel asked someone from Bani Israel to give him a loan of
one thousand Dinars and the later gave it to him. The debtor went on a voyage (when the time for
the payment of the debt became due) but he did not find a boat, so he took a piece of wood and bored
it and put 1000 diners in it and threw it into the sea. The creditor went out and took the piece of
wood to his family to be used as fire-wood.” (See Hadith No. 488 B, Vol. 3). And the Prophet narrated
the narration (and said), “When he sawed the wood, he found his money.”
