Volume 3, Book 47, Number 741:
Narrated Urwa:
Aisha said to me, “O my nephew! We used to see the crescent, and then the crescent and then the
crescent in this way we saw three crescents in two months and no fire (for cooking) used to be made
in the houses of Allah’s Apostle. I said, “O my aunt! Then what use to sustain you?” ‘Aisha said, “The
two black things: dates and water, our neighbors from Ansar had some Manarh and they used to
present Allah’s Apostle some of their milk and he used to make us drink.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “I shall accept the invitation even if I were invited to a meal of a sheep’s trotter,
and I shall accept the gift even if it were an arm or a trotter of a sheep.”
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 733:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
That he heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his
charge; the ruler is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; the man is a guardian in his family
and responsible for his charges; a woman is a guardian of her husband’s house and responsible for
her charges; and the servant is a guardian of his master’s property and is responsible for his charge.”
I definitely heard the above from the Prophet and think that the Prophet also said, “A man is a guard –
ian of his father’s property and responsible for his charges; so everyone of you is a guardian and re –
sponsible for his charges.”
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 734:
Narrated Abu Huraira:

Volume 3, Book 46, Number 735:
Narrated ‘Urwa:
That ‘Aisha told him that Buraira came to seek her help in her writing of emancipation (for a cer –
tain sum) and that time she had not paid anything of it. ‘Aisha said to her, “Go back to your masters,
and if they agree that I will pay the amount of your writing of emancipation and get your Wala’, I

will do so.” Buraira informed her masters of that but they refused and said, “If she (i.e. ‘Aisha) is seek –
ing Allah’s reward, then she can do so, but your Wala’ will be for us.” ‘Aisha mentioned that to Allah’s
Apostle who said to her, “Buy and manumit her, as the Wala’ is for the liberator.” Allah’s Apostle then
got up and said, “What about the people who stipulate conditions which are not present in Allah’s
Laws? Whoever imposes conditions which are not present in Allah’s Laws, then those conditions will
be invalid, even if he imposed these conditions a hundred times. Allah’s conditions (Laws) are the
truth and are more solid.”
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 736:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
Aisha wanted to buy a slave-girl in order to manumit her. The girl’s masters stipulated that her
Wala’ would be for them. Allah’s Apostle said (to ‘Aisha), “What they stipulate should not stop you,
for the Wala’ is for the liberator.”
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 737:
Narrated Aisha:
Buraira came (to ‘Aisha) and said, “I have made a contract of emancipation with my masters for
nine Uqiyas (of gold) to be paid in yearly installments. Therefore, I seek your help.” ‘Aisha said, “If
your masters agree, I will pay them the sum at once and free you on condition that your Wala’ will
be for me.” Buraira went to her masters but they refused that offer. She (came back) and said, “I
presented to them the offer but they refused, unless the Wala’ was for them.” Allah’s Apostle heard of
that and asked me about it, and I told him about it. On that he said, “Buy and manumit her and stipu –
late that the Wala’ should be for you, as Wala’ is for the liberator.” ‘Aisha added, “Allah’s Apostle then
got up amongst the people, Glorified and Praised Allah, and said, ‘Then after: What about some
people who impose conditions which are not present in Allah’s Laws? So, any condition which is not
present in Allah’s Laws is invalid even if they were one-hundred conditions. Allah’s ordinance is the
truth, and Allah’s condition is stronger and more solid. Why do some men from you say, O so-and-
so! manumit the slave but the Wala will be for me? Verily, the Wala is for the liberator.”
Volume 3, Book 46, Number 731:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid:
The Prophet said, “If a slave-girl (Ama) commits illegal sexual intercourse, scourge her; if she does
it again, scourge her again; if she repeats it, scourge her again.” The narrator added that on the third
or the fourth offence, the Prophet said, “Sell her even for a hair rope.”
