Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
My father was martyred on the day (of the battle) of Uhud and his creditors demanded the debt
back in a harsh manner. So I went to Allah’s Apostle and informed him of that, he asked them to ac –
cept the fruits of my garden and excuse my father, but they refused. So, Allah’s Apostle did not give
them the fruits, nor did he cut them and distribute them among them, but said, “I will come to you
tomorrow morning.” So, he came to us the next morning and walked about in between the date-
palms and invoked Allah to bless their fruits. I plucked the fruits and gave back all the rights of the
creditors in full, and a lot of fruits were left for us. Then I went to Allah’s Apostle, who was sitting,

and informed him about what happened. Allah’s Apostle told ‘Umar, who was sitting there, to listen
to the story. ‘Umar said, “Don’t we know that you are Allah’s Apostle? By Allah! you are Allah’s
Apostle!”
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 774:
Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
A drink (milk mixed with water) was brought to the Prophet who drank some of it while a boy
was sitting on his right and old men on his left. The Prophet said to the boy, “If you permit me, I’ll
give (the rest of the drink to) these old men first.” The boy said, “I will not give preference to any one
over me as regards my share from you, O Allah’s Apostle!” The Prophet then put that container in the
boy’s hand. (See Hadith No. 541).
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 775:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
I sold a camel to the Prophet on one of the journeys. When we reached Medina, he ordered me to
go to the Mosque and offer two Rakat. Then he weighed for me (the price of the camel in gold) and
gave an extra amount over it. A part of it remained with me till it was taken by the army of Sham on
the day of Harra.”
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 768:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas:
That he heard As-Sa’b bin Jaththama Al-Laithi, who was one of the companions of the Prophet,
saying that he gave the meat of an onager to Allah’s Apostle while he was at a place called Al-Abwa’
or Waddan, and was in a state of Ihram. The Prophet did not accept it. When the Prophet saw the
signs of sorrow on As-Sa’b’s face because of not accepting his present, he said (to him), “We are not
returning your present, but we are in the state of Ihram.” (See Hadith No. 747)
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 769:
Narrated Abu Humaid Al-Sa’idi:
The Prophet appointed a man from the tribe of Al-Azd, called Ibn ‘Utbiyya for collecting the Zakat.
When he returned he said, “This (i.e. the Zakat) is for you and this has been given to my as a present.”
The Prophet said, “Why hadn’t he stayed in his father’s or mother’s house to see whether he would be
given presents or not? By Him in Whose Hands my life is, whoever takes something from the re –
sources of the Zakat (unlawfully) will be carrying it on his neck on the Day of Resurrection; if it be a
camel, it will be grunting; if a cow, it will be mooing; and if a sheep, it will be bleating.” The Prophet
then raised his hands till we saw the whiteness of his armpits, and he said thrice, “O Allah! Haven’t I
conveyed Your Message (to them)?”

The Prophet said to me, “I will give you so much (the Prophet pointed thrice with his hands) when
funds of Bahrain will come to me.” But the Prophet died before the money reached him. (When it
came) Abu Bakr ordered an announcer to announce that whoever had a money claim on the Prophet
or was promised to be given something, should come to Abu Bakr. I went to Abu Bakr and told him
that the Prophet had promised to give me so much. On that Abu Bakr gave me three handfuls (of
money).
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 771:
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
Allah’s Apostle distributed some cloaks but did not give anything thereof to Makhrama.
Makhrama said (to me), “O son! accompany me to Allah’s Apostle.” When I went with him, he said,
“Call him to me.” I called him (i.e. the Prophet ) for my father. He came out wearing one of those
cloaks and said, “We kept this (cloak) for you, (Makhrama).” Makhrama looked at the cloak and said,
“Makhrama is pleased,” (or the Prophet said), “Is Makhrama pleased?”
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 772:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “I am ruined.” The Prophet asked, “What do you mean?” He
said, “I had a sexual intercourse with my wife during Ramadan (while fasting).” The Prophet asked
him, “Can you manumit a slave?” He replied in the negative. He then asked him, “Can you fast for two
successive months continuously” He replied in the negative. The Prophet then asked him, “Can you
feed sixty poor persons?” He replied in the negative. In the meantime an Ansari came with a basket
full of dates. The Prophet said to the man, “Take it and give it in charity (as an expiation of your sin).”
The man said “Should I give it to some people who are poorer than we O Allah’s Apostle? By Him
Who has sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina’s two mountains poorer than
we.” Allah’s Apostle told him to take it and provide his family with it.”
