Narrated Ash-sha’bi:
The clerk of Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba narrated, “Muawiya wrote to Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba: Write to
me something which you have heard from the Prophet (p.b.u.h) .” So Al-Mughira wrote: I heard the
Prophet saying, “Allah has hated for you three things:
1. Vain talks, (useless talk) that you talk too much or about others.
2. Wasting of wealth (by extravagance)
3. And asking too many questions (in disputed religious matters) or asking others for something
(except in great need). (See Hadith No. 591, Vol. Ill)

Narrated Sad (bin Abi Waqqas):
Allah’s Apostle distributed something (from the resources of Zakat) amongst a group of people
while I was sitting amongst them, but he left a man whom I considered the best of the lot. So, I went
up to Allah’s Apostle and asked him secretly, “Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider
him a believer.” The Prophet said, “Or merely a Muslim (Who surrender to Allah).” I remained quiet
for a while but could not help repeating my question because of what I knew about him. I said, “O
Allah’s Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Allah! I consider him a believer. ” The Prophet
said, “Or merely a Muslim.” I remained quiet for a while but could not help repeating my question
because of what I knew about him. I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Al –
lah! I consider him a believer.” The Prophet said, “Or merely a Muslim.” Then Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h)
said, “I give to a person while another is dearer to me, for fear that he may be thrown in the Hell-fire
on his face (by renegating from Islam).”

mouthful or two (of meals) or a date or two but the poor is that who has not enough (money) to sat –
isfy his needs and whose condition is not known to others, that others may give him something in
charity, and who does not beg of people.”

Abu Bakr wrote to me what Allah had instructed His Apostle (p.b.u.h) to do regarding the one who
had to pay one Bint Makhad (i.e. one year-old she-camel) as Zakat, and he did not have it but had
got Bint Labun (two year old she-camel). (He wrote that) it could be accepted from him as Zakat, and
the collector of Zakat would return him 20 Dirhams or two sheep; and if the Zakat payer had not a
Bint Makhad, but he had Ibn Labun (a two year old he-camel) then it could be accepted as his Zakat,
but he would not be paid anything .

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
I am a witness that Allah’s Apostle offered the Id prayer before delivering the sermon and then he
thought that the women would not be able to hear him (because of the distance), so he went to them
along with Bilal who was spreading his garment. The Prophet advised and ordered them to give in
charity. So the women started giving their ornaments (in charity). (The sub-narrator Aiyub pointed

towards his ears and neck meaning that they gave ornaments from those places such as ear-rings
and necklaces.)
