Volume 4, Book 56, Number 720:
Narrated Jabir:
We were in the company of the Prophet in a Ghazwa. A large number of emigrants joined him
and among the emigrants there was a person who used to play jokes (or play with spears); so he
(jokingly) stroked an Ansari man on the hip. The Ans-ari got so angry that both of them called their
people. The Ansari said, “Help, O Ansar!” And the emigrant said “Help, O emigrants!” The Prophet
came out and said, “What is wrong with the people (as they are calling) this call of the period of Ig –
norance? “Then he said, “What is the matter with them?” So he was told about the stroke of the emig –
rant to the Ansari. The Prophet said, “Stop this (i.e. appeal for help) for it is an evil call. “Abdullah bin
Ubai bin Salul (a hypocrite) said, “The emigrants have called and (gathered against us); so when we
return to Medina, surely, the more honorable people will expel therefrom the meaner,” Upon that
‘Umar said, “O Allah’s Prophet! Shall we not kill this evil person (i.e. Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul) ?”
The Prophet) said, “(No), lest the people should say that Muhammad used to kill his companions.”

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 723:
Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab:
Al-Bahira was an animal whose milk was spared for the idols and other dieties, and so nobody
was allowed to milk it. As-Saiba was an animal which they (i.e infidels) used to set free in the names
of their gods so that it would not be used for carrying anything. Abu Huraira said, “The Prophet said,
‘I saw Amr bin ‘Amir bin Luhai Al-Khuzai dragging his intestines in the (Hell) Fire, for he was the
first man who started the custom of releasing animals (for the sake of false gods).’ “

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 708:
Narrated ‘Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair was the most beloved person to ‘Aisha excluding the Prophet and Abu
Bakr, and he in his turn, was the most devoted to her, ‘Aisha used not to withhold the money given to
her by Allah, but she used to spend it in charity. (‘Abdullah) bin AzZubair said, ” ‘Aisha should be
stopped from doing so.” (When ‘Aisha heard this), she said protestingly, “Shall I be stopped from do –
ing so? I vow that I will never talk to ‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair.” On that, Ibn Az-Zubair asked some
people from Quraish and particularly the two uncles of Allah’s Apostle to intercede with her, but she
refused (to talk to him). Az-Zuhriyun, the uncles of the Prophet, including ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Al-
Aswad bin ‘Abd Yaghuth and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama said to him, “When we ask for the permis –
sion to visit her, enter her house along with us (without taking her leave).” He did accordingly (and
she accepted their intercession). He sent her ten slaves whom she manumitted as an expiation for
(not keeping) her vow. ‘Aisha manumitted more slaves for the same purpose till she manumitted

forty slaves. She said, “I wish I had specified what I would have done in case of not fulfilling my vow
when I made the vow, so that I might have done it easily.”
