cow.” Jabir added, “The Prophet bought a camel from me for two Uqiyas (of gold) and one or two

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet got up amongst us and mentioned Al Ghulul, emphasized its magnitude and declared
that it was a great sin saying, “Don’t commit Ghulul for I should not like to see anyone amongst you
on the Day of Ressurection, carrying over his neck a sheep that will be bleating, or carrying over his
neck a horse that will be neighing. Such a man will be saying: ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Intercede with Al –
lah for me,’ and I will reply, ‘I can’t help you, for I have conveyed Allah’s Message to you Nor should I
like to see a man carrying over his neck, a camel that will be grunting. Such a man will say, ‘O Al –
lah’s Apostle! Intercede with Allah for me, and I will say, ‘I can’t help you for I have conveyed Allah’s
Message to you,’ or one carrying over his neck gold and silver and saying, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Inter –
cede with Allah for me,’ and I will say, ‘I can’t help you for I have conveyed Allah’s Message to you,’
or one carrying clothes that will be fluttering, and the man will say, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Intercede
with Allah for me.’ And I will say, ‘I can’t help you, for I have conveyed Allah’s Message to you.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr:
There was a man who looked after the family and the belongings of the Prophet and he was called
Karkara. The man died and Allah’s Apostle said, “He is in the ‘(Hell) Fire.” The people then went to
look at him and found in his place, a cloak he had stolen from the war booty.
Volume 4, Book 53, Number 324:
Narrated Ali:
I got a she-camel in my share of the war booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and the Prophet
had given me a she-camel from the Khumus. When I intended to marry Fatima, the daughter of Al –
lah’s Apostle, I had an appointment with a goldsmith from the tribe of Bani Qainuqa’ to go with me
to bring Idhkhir (i.e. grass of pleasant smell) and sell it to the goldsmiths and spend its price on my
wedding party. I was collecting for my she-camels equipment of saddles, sacks and ropes while my
two she-camels were kneeling down beside the room of an Ansari man. I returned after collecting
whatever I collected, to see the humps of my two she-camels cut off and their flanks cut open and
some portion of their livers was taken out. When I saw that state of my two she-camels, I could not
help weeping. I asked, “Who has done this?” The people replied, “Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib who is
staying with some Ansari drunks in this house.” I went away till I reached the Prophet and Zaid bin
Haritha was with him. The Prophet noticed on my face the effect of what I had suffered, so the
Prophet asked. “What is wrong with you.” I replied, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have never seen such a day
as today. Hamza attacked my two she-camels, cut off their humps, and ripped open their flanks, and
he is sitting there in a house in the company of some drunks.” The Prophet then asked for his cover –
ing sheet, put it on, and set out walking followed by me and Zaid bin Haritha till he came to the
house where Hamza was. He asked permission to enter, and they allowed him, and they were drunk.
Allah’s Apostle started rebuking Hamza for what he had done, but Hamza was drunk and his eyes
were red. Hamza looked at Allah’s Apostle and then he raised his eyes, looking at his knees, then he
raised up his eyes looking at his umbilicus, and again he raised up his eyes look in at his face. Hamza
then said, “Aren’t you but the slaves of my father?” Allah’s Apostle realized that he was drunk, so Al –
lah’s Apostle retreated, and we went out with him.
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 309:
Narrated Abaya bin Rifaa:
My grandfather, Rafi said, “We were in the company of the Prophet at DhulHulaifa, and the people
suffered from hunger. We got some camels and sheep (as booty) and the Prophet was still behind the
people. They hurried and put the cooking pots on the fire. (When he came) he ordered that the cook –
ing pots should be upset and then he distributed the booty (amongst the people) regarding ten sheep
as equal to one camel then a camel fled and the people chased it till they got tired, as they had a few
horses (for chasing it). So a man threw an arrow at it and caused it to stop (with Allah’s Permission).
On that the Prophet said, ‘Some of these animals behave like wild beasts, so, if any animal flee from
you, deal with it in the same way.” My grandfather asked (the Prophet ), “We hope (or are afraid) that
we may meet the enemy tomorrow and we have no knives. Can we slaughter our animals with
canes?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “If the instrument used for killing causes the animal to bleed pro –

fusely and if Allah’s Name is mentioned on killing it, then eat its meat (i.e. it is lawful) but won’t use a
tooth or a nail and I am telling you the reason: A tooth is a bone (and slaughtering with a bone is
forbidden ), and a nail is the slaughtering instrument of the Ethiopians.”
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 310:
Narrated Qais:
Jarir bin ‘Abdullah said to me, “Allah’s Apostle said to me, ‘Won’t you relieve me from Dhul-
Khalasa?’ Dhul-Khalasa was a house where the tribe of Khatham used to stay, and it used to be called
Ka’bat-ul Yamaniya. So I proceeded with one hundred-and-fifty (men) from the tribe of Ahmas who
were good cavalry. I informed the Prophet that I could not sit firm on horses, so he stroke me on the
chest with his hand and I noticed his finger marks on my chest. He invoked, ‘O Allah! Make him firm
and a guiding and rightly-guided man.” Jarir set out towards that place, dismantled and burnt it, and
then sent the good news to Allah’s Apostle . The messenger of Jarir said to Allah’s Apostle. “O Allah’s
Apostle! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I did not come to you till it (i.e. the house) had
been turned (black) like a scabby camel (covered with tar).” So the Prophet invokes Allah to Bless the
horses of the men of Ahmas five times.

but Jihad and good intentions, and when you are called for Jihad, you should immediately respond to
the call.”
