Volume 3, Book 34, Number 420:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “The Prophet Abraham emigrated with Sarah and entered a village where there
was a king or a tyrant. (The king) was told that Abraham had entered (the village) accompanied by a
woman who was one of the most charming women. So, the king sent for Abraham and asked, ‘O Ab –
raham! Who is this lady accompanying you?’ Abraham replied, ‘She is my sister (i.e. in religion).’
Then Abraham returned to her and said, ‘Do not contradict my statement, for I have informed them
that you are my sister. By Allah, there are no true believers on this land except you and 1.’ Then Ab –
raham sent her to the king. When the king got to her, she got up and performed ablution, prayed
and said, ‘O Allah! If I have believed in You and Your Apostle, and have saved my private parts from
everybody except my husband, then please do not let this pagan overpower me.’ On that the king fell
in a mood of agitation and started moving his legs. Seeing the condition of the king, Sarah said, ‘O
Allah! If he should die, the people will say that I have killed him.’ The king regained his power, and
proceeded towards her but she got up again and performed ablution, prayed and said, ‘O Allah! If I
have believed in You and Your Apostle and have kept my private parts safe from all except my hus –
band, then please do not let this pagan overpower me.’ The king again fell in a mood of agitation and
started moving his legs. On seeing that state of the king, Sarah said, ‘O Allah! If he should die, the
people will say that I have killed him.’ The king got either two or three attacks, and after recovering
from the last attack he said, ‘By Allah! You have sent a satan to me. Take her to Abraham and give
her Ajar.’ So she came back to Abraham and said, ‘Allah humiliated the pagan and gave us a slavegirl
for service.”

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
I was with the Prophet while he was eating spadix. He said, “From the trees there is a tree which
resembles a faithful believer.” I wanted to say that it was the date palm, but I was the youngest
among them (so I kept quiet). He added, “It is the date palm.” Shuraih told the weavers, “You are per –
mitted to follow your own conventions to solve your problems (it is legal for you to stick to your tra –
ditions in bargain) . ”
Narrated ‘Abdul Wahab: Aiyub said: Muhammad said, “There is no harm in selling for eleven what
you buy for ten, and you are allowed to take a profit for expenses . ”

The Prophet told Hind, “Take what is reasonable and sufficient for you and your sons.” Allah says:
Whoever is poor, can eat (from the orphan’s property) reasonably (according to his labors).
Al-Hasan hired a donkey from ‘Abdullah bin Mirdas and asked him about the hire. The latter
replied that it was for two Daniqs (a Daniq equals 116th Dirham). So Al-Hasan rode away. Another
time, Al-Hasan came to ‘Abdullah bin Mirdas and asked him to hire the donkey to him and rode
away without asking him about the hire, but he sent him half a Dirham.
