Narrated Sahl:
The Prophet sent for a woman from the emigrants and she had a slave who was a carpenter. The
Prophet said to her “Order your slave to prepare the wood (pieces) for the pulpit.” So, she ordered her
slave who went and cut the wood from the tamarisk and prepared the pulpit, for the Prophet. When
he finished the pulpit, the woman informed the Prophet that it had been finished. The Prophet asked
her to send that pulpit to him, so they brought it. The Prophet lifted it and placed it at the place in
which you see now.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 47: GIFTS
That his father said, “One day I was sitting with some of the Prophet’s companions on the way to
Mecca. Allah’s Apostle was ahead of us. All of my companions were in the state of Ihram while I was
a non-Muhrim. They saw an onager while I was busy repairing my shoes, so they did not tell me
about it but they wished I had seen it. By chance I looked up and saw it. So, I turned to the horse,
saddled it and rode on it, forgetting to take the spear and the whip. I asked them if they could hand
over to me the whip and the spear but they said, ‘No, by Allah, we shall not help you in that in any
way.’ I became angry and got down from the horse, picked up both the things and rode the horse
again. I attacked the onager and slaughtered it, and brought it (after it had been dead). They took it
(cooked some of it) and started eating it, but they doubted whether it was allowed for them to eat it
or not, as they were in the state of Ihram. So, we proceeded and I hid with me one of its fore-legs.
When we met Allah’s Apostle and asked him about the case, he asked, ‘Do you have a portion of it
with you?’ I replied in the affirmative and gave him that fleshy fore-leg which he ate completely
while he was in the state of Ihram .

Narrated Anas:
Once Allah’s Apostle visited us in this house of ours and asked for something to drink. We milked
one of our sheep and mixed it with water from this well of ours and gave it to him. Abu Bakr was
sitting on his left side and ‘Umar in front of him and a bedouin on his right side. When Allah’s
Apostle finished, ‘Umar said to Allah’s Apostle “Here is Abu Bakr.” But Allah’s Apostle gave the re –
maining milk to the bedouin and said twice, “The (persons on the) right side! So, start from the right
side.” Anas added, “It is a Sunna (the Prophet’s traditions)” and repeated it thrice.

Narrated Anas:
We chased a rabbit at Mar-al-Zahran and the people ran after it but were exhausted. I over –
powered and caught it, and gave it to Abu Talha who slaughtered it and sent its hip or two thighs to
Allah’s Apostle. (The narrator confirms that he sent two thighs). The Prophet accepted that. (The sub-
narrator asked Anas, “Did the Prophet; eat from it?” Anas replied, “He ate from it.”)
Volume 3, Book 47, Number 747:
Narrated As-Sa’b bin Jaththama:
An onager was presented to Allah’s Apostle at the place called Al-Abwa’ or Waddan, but Allah’s
Apostle rejected it. When the Prophet noticed the signs of sorrow on the giver’s face he said, “We
have not rejected your gift, but we are in the state of Ihram.” (i.e. if we were not in a state of Ihram
we would have accepted your gift, Fateh-al-Bari page 130, Vol. 6)

Narrated Amra bint ‘AbdurRahman:
Buraira went to Aisha, the mother of the faithful believers to seek her help in her emancipation
Aisha said to her, “If your masters agree, I will pay them your price in a lump sum and manumit
you.” Buraira mentioned that offer to her masters but they refused to sell her unless the Wala’ was
for them. ‘Aisha told Allah’s Apostle about it. He said, “Buy and manumit her as the Wala’ is for the
liberator.”

Narrated ‘Abdul Wahid bin Aiman:
I went to ‘Aisha and said, “I was the slave of Utba bin Abu Lahab. “Utba died and his sons became
my masters who sold me to Ibn Abu Amr who manumitted me. The sons of ‘Utba stipulated that my
Wala’ should be for them.” ‘Aisha said, “Buraira came to me and she was given the writing of eman –
cipation by her masters and she asked me to buy and manumit her. I agreed to it, but Buraira told me
that her masters would not sell her unless her Wala’ was for them.” ‘Aisha said, “I am not in need of
that.” When the Prophet heard that, or he was told about it, he asked ‘Aisha about it. ‘Aisha men –
tioned what Buraira had told her. The Prophet said, “Buy and manumit her and let them stipulate
whatever they like.” So, ‘Aisha bought and manumitted her and her masters stipulated that her Wala’
should be for them.” The Prophet;, said, “The Wala’ will be for the liberator even if they stipulated a
hundred conditions.”
