Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “Allah guarantees him who strives in His Cause and whose motivation for go –

(if martyred) or bring him back to his dwelling place, whence he has come out, with what he gains
of reward and booty.”
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 353:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “A prophet amongst the prophets carried out a holy military expedition, so he
said to his followers, ‘Anyone who has married a woman and wants to consummate the marriage,
and has not done so yet, should not accompany me; nor should a man who has built a house but has
not completed its roof; nor a man who has sheep or shecamels and is waiting for the birth of their
young ones.’ So, the prophet carried out the expedition and when he reached that town at the time or
nearly at the time of the ‘Asr prayer, he said to the sun, ‘O sun! You are under Allah’s Order and I am
under Allah’s Order O Allah! Stop it (i.e. the sun) from setting.’ It was stopped till Allah made him
victorious.
Then he collected the booty and the fire came to burn it, but it did not burn it. He said (to his men),
‘Some of you have stolen something from the booty. So one man from every tribe should give me a
pledge of allegiance by shaking hands with me.’ (They did so and) the hand of a man got stuck over
the hand of their prophet. Then that prophet said (to the man), ‘The theft has been committed by
your people. So all the persons of your tribe should give me the pledge of allegiance by shaking
hands with me.’ The hands of two or three men got stuck over the hand of their prophet and he said,
“You have committed the theft.’ Then they brought a head of gold like the head of a cow and put it
there, and the fire came and consumed the booty. The Prophet added: Then Allah saw our weakness
and disability, so he made booty legal for us.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
(mother of the believers) After the death of Allah ‘s Apostle Fatima the daughter of Allah’s Apostle
asked Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to give her, her share of inheritance from what Allah’s Apostle had left of
the Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting) which Allah had given him. Abu Bakr said to her, “Allah’s
Apostle said, ‘Our property will not be inherited, whatever we (i.e. prophets) leave is Sadaqa (to be
used for charity).” Fatima, the daughter of Allah’s Apostle got angry and stopped speaking to Abu

Bakr, and continued assuming that attitude till she died. Fatima remained alive for six months after
the death of Allah’s Apostle.
She used to ask Abu Bakr for her share from the property of Allah’s Apostle which he left at
Khaibar, and Fadak, and his property at Medina (devoted for charity). Abu Bakr refused to give her
that property and said, “I will not leave anything Allah’s Apostle used to do, because I am afraid that
if I left something from the Prophet’s tradition, then I would go astray.” (Later on) Umar gave the
Prophet’s property (of Sadaqa) at Medina to ‘Ali and ‘Abbas, but he withheld the properties of
Khaibar and Fadak in his custody and said, “These two properties are the Sadaqa which Allah’s
Apostle used to use for his expenditures and urgent needs. Now their management is to be entrusted
to the ruler.” (Az-Zuhrl said, “They have been managed in this way till today.”)
