While we were offering the prayer with the Prophet a caravan carrying food came from Sham.

disperse headlong to it.” (62.11)

Narrated ‘Adi bin Hatim:
I asked Allah’s Apostle about Al Mirad (i.e. a sharp-edged piece of wood or a piece of wood
provided with a piece of iron used for hunting). He replied, “If the game is hit by its sharp edge, eat it,
and if it is hit by its broad side, do not eat it, for it has been beaten to death.” I asked, “O Allah’s
Apostle! I release my dog by the name of Allah and find with it at the game, another dog on which I
have not mentioned the name of Allah, and I do not know which one of them caught the game.” Al –
lah’s Apostle said (to him), ‘Don’t eat it as you have mentioned the name of Allah on your dog and not
on the other dog.”

Volume 3 Book 34 Hadith 267

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 267:
Narrated An-Nu’man bin Bashir:
The Prophet said “Both legal and illegal things are obvious, and in between them are (suspicious)
doubtful matters. So who-ever forsakes those doubtful things lest he may commit a sin, will defin –
itely avoid what is clearly illegal; and who-ever indulges in these (suspicious) doubtful things
bravely, is likely to commit what is clearly illegal. Sins are Allah’s Hima (i.e. private pasture) and
whoever pastures (his sheep) near it, is likely to get in it at any moment.”

Narrated Aisha:
Utba bin Abu Waqqas took a firm promise from his brother Sad bin Abu Waqqas to take the son of
the slave-girl of Zam’a into his custody as he was his (i.e. ‘Utba’s) son. In the year of the Conquest (of
Mecca) Sad bin Abu Waqqas took him, and said that he was his brother’s son, and his brother took a

promise from him to that effect. ‘Abu bin Zam’a got up and said, “He is my brother and the son of the
slave-girl of my father and was born on my father’s bed.” Then they both went to the Prophet Sad
said, “O Allah’s Apostle! He is the son of my brother and he has taken a promise from me that I will
take him.” ‘Abu bin Zam’a said, “(He is) my brother and the son of my father’s slave-girl and was born
on my father’s bed.” Allah’s Apostle said, “The boy is for you. O ‘Abu bin Zam’a.” Then the Prophet
said, “The son is for the bed (i.e the man on whose bed he was born) and stones (disappointment and
deprivation) for the one who has done illegal sexual intercourse.” The Prophet told his wife Sauda
bint Zam’a to screen herself from that boy as he noticed a similarity between the boy and ‘Utba. So,
the boy did not see her till he died.

Volume 3 Book 34 Hadith 263

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 263:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
You people say that Abu Huraira tells many narrations from Allah’s Apostle and you also wonder
why the emigrants and Ansar do not narrate from Allah’s Apostle as Abu Huraira does. My emigrant
brothers were busy in the market while I used to stick to Allah’s Apostle content with what fills my
stomach; so I used to be present when they were absent and I used to remember when they used to
forget, and my Ansari brothers used to be busy with their properties and I was one of the poor men
of Suffa. I used to remember the narrations when they used to forget. No doubt, Allah’s Apostle once
said, “Whoever spreads his garment till I have finished my present speech and then gathers it to him –
self, will remember whatever I will say.” So, I spread my colored garment which I was wearing till
Allah’s Apostle had finished his saying, and then I gathered it to my chest. So, I did not forget any of
that narrations.
