Volume 3, Book 49, Number 872:
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:
My father died and was in debt. I suggested that his creditors take the fruits (i.e. dates) of my
garden in lieu of the debt of my father, but they refused the offer, as they thought that it would not
cover the full debt. So, I went to the Prophet and told him about it. He said (to me), “When you pluck
the dates and collect them in the Mirbad (i.e. a place where dates are dried), call me (Allah’s
Apostle).” Finally he came accompanied by Abu Bakr and ‘Umar and sat on the dates and invoked Al –
lah to bless them. Then he said, “Call your creditors and give them their full rights.” So, I paid all my
father’s creditors in full and yet thirteen extra Wasqs of dates remained, seven of which were ‘Ajwa
and six were Laun or six of which were Ajwa and seven were Laun. I met Allah’s Apostle at sunset
and informed him about it. On that he smiled and said, “Go to Abu Bakr and ‘Umar and tell them
about it.” They said, “We perceived that was going to happen, as Allah’s Apostle did what he did.”

Narrated Abdullah bin Kab:
That Ka’b bin Malik told him that in the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle he demanded his debt from Ibn
Abu Hadrad in the Mosque. Their voices grew louder till Allah’s Apostle heard them while he was in
his house. So he lifted the curtain of his room and called Ka’b bin Malik saying, “O Ka’b!” He replied,
“Labbaik! O Allah’s Apostle!” He beckoned to him with his hand suggesting that he deduct half the
debt. Ka’b said, “I agree, O Allah’s Apostle!” Allah’s Apostle then said (to Ibn Abu Hadrad), “Get up and
pay him the rest.”

Book 50: Conditions
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 874:
Narrated Marwan and al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
(from the companions of Allah’s Apostle) When Suhail bin Amr agreed to the Treaty (of Hudaib –
iya), one of the things he stipulated then, was that the Prophet should return to them (i.e. the pagans)
anyone coming to him from their side, even if he was a Muslim; and would not interfere between
them and that person. The Muslims did not like this condition and got disgusted with it. Suhail did
not agree except with that condition. So, the Prophet agreed to that condition and returned Abu Jan –
dal to his father Suhail bin ‘Amr. Thenceforward the Prophet returned everyone in that period (of
truce) even if he was a Muslim. During that period some believing women emigrants including Um
Kalthum bint Uqba bin Abu Muait who came to Allah’s Apostle and she was a young lady then. Her
relative came to the Prophet and asked him to return her, but the Prophet did not return her to them
for Allah had revealed the following Verse regarding women:
“O you who believe! When the believing women come to you as emigrants. Examine them, Allah
knows best as to their belief, then if you know them for true believers, Send them not back to the un –
believers, (for) they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers, Nor are the unbelievers lawful (hus –
bands) for them (60.10)
Narrated ‘Urwa: Aisha told me, “Allah’s Apostle used to examine them according to this Verse: “O
you who believe! When the believing women come to you, as emigrants test them . . . for Allah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (60.10-12) Aisha said, “When any of them agreed to that condition
Allah’s Apostle would say to her, ‘I have accepted your pledge of allegiance.’ He would only say that,
but, by Allah he never touched the hand of any women (i.e. never shook hands with them) while
taking the pledge of allegiance and he never took their pledge of allegiance except by his words
(only).”
Volume 3, Book 49, Number 869:
Narrated Abdullah bin Kab bin Malik from Kab bin Malik:
Abdullah bin Abu Hadrad Al-Aslami owed Kab bin Malik some money. One day the latter met the
former and demanded his right, and their voices grew very loud. The Prophet passed by them and
said, “O Ka’b,” beckoning with his hand as if intending to say, “Deduct half the debts.” So, Kab took
half what the other owed him and remitted the other half.
Volume 3, Book 49, Number 870:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “There is a Sadaqa to be given for every joint of the human body; and for every
day on which the sun rises there is a reward of a Sadaqa (i.e. charitable gift) for the one who estab –
lishes justice among people.”
