Narrated Abu Wail:
Abdullah (bin Mas’ud) said, “Whoever took a false oath in order to grab somebody’s property will
meet Allah while Allah will be angry with him.” Allah revealed the following verse to confirm
that:–“Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah’s covenant And their oaths…a
painful torment.” (3.77)
Al-Ash’ath bin Qais came to us and asked as to what Abu Abdur-Rehman (i.e. Ibn Mas’ud) was
telling you.” We related the story to him. On that he said, “He has told the truth. This verse was re –
vealed about me. I had some dispute with another man regarding a well and we took the case before
Allah’s Apostle. Allah’s Apostle said (to me), “Produce two witnesses (to support your claim); other –
wise the defendant has the right to take an oath (to refute your claim).’ I said, ‘The defendant would
not mind to take a false oath.” Allah’s Apostle then said, ‘Whoever took a false oath in order to grab
someone else’s property will meet Allah, Allah will be angry with him.’ Allah then revealed what
Confirmed it.” Al-Ash’ath then recited the following Verse:–“Verily! Those who purchase a small
gain at the cost of Allah’s covenant, And their oaths . . . (to) . . . they shall have a painful torment!’

Volume 3, Book 44, Number 683:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet (along with his companions) reached Mecca in the morning of the fourth of Dhul-
Hijja assuming Ihram for Hajj only. So when we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet ordered us to change
our intentions of the Ihram for’Umra and that we could finish our Ihram after performing the ‘Umra
and could go to our wives (for sexual intercourse). The people began talking about that. Jabir said
surprisingly, “Shall we go to Mina while semen is dribbling from our male organs?” Jabir moved his
hand while saying so. When this news reached the Prophet he delivered a sermon and said, “I have
been informed that some peoples were saying so and so; By Allah I fear Allah more than you do, and
am more obedient to Him than you. If I had known what I know now, I would not have brought the
Hadi (sacrifice) with me and had the Hadi not been with me, I would have finished the Ihram.” At
that Suraqa bin Malik stood up and asked “O Allah’s Apostle! Is this permission for us only or is it
forever?” The Prophet replied, “It is forever.” In the meantime ‘Ali bin Abu Talib came from Yemen
and was saying Labbaik for what the Prophet has intended. (According to another man, ‘Ali was say –
ing Labbaik for Hajj similar to Allah’s Apostle’s). The Prophet told him to keep on the Ihram and let
him share the Hadi with him.
Volume 3, Book 44, Number 684:
Narrated Abaya bin Rifaa:
My grandfather, Rafi bin Khadij said, “We were in the valley of Dhul-Hulaifa of Tuhama in the
company of the Prophet and had some camels and sheep (of the booty). The people hurried (in
slaughtering the animals) and put their meat in the pots and started cooking. Allah’s Apostle came
and ordered them to upset the pots, and distributed the booty considering one camel as equal to ten
sheep. One of the camels fled and the people had only a few horses, so they got worried. (The camel
was chased and) a man slopped the camel by throwing an arrow at it. Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Some of
these animals are untamed like wild animals, so if anyone of them went out of your control, then you
should treat it as you have done now.’ ” My grandfather said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We fear that we may
meet our enemy tomorrow and we have no knives, could we slaughter the animals with reeds?” The
Prophet said, “Yes, or you can use what would make blood flow (slaughter) and you can eat what is
slaughtered and the Name of Allah is mentioned at the time of slaughtering. But don’t use teeth or
fingernails (in slaughtering). I will tell you why, as for teeth, they are bones, and fingernails are used
by Ethiopians for slaughtering. (See Hadith 668)
