Volume 7, Book 63, Number 209:
Narrated Nafi’:
Whenever Ibn ‘Umar was asked about marrying a Christian lady or a Jewess, he would say: “Allah
has made it unlawful for the believers to marry ladies who ascribe partners in worship to Allah, and
I do not know of a greater thing, as regards to ascribing partners in worship, etc. to Allah, than that a
lady should say that Jesus is her Lord although he is just one of Allah’s slaves.”
Volume 7, Book 63, Number 210:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The pagans were of two kinds as regards their relationship to the Prophet and the Believers. Some
of them were those with whom the Prophet was at war and used to fight against, and they used to
fight him; the others were those with whom the Prophet made a treaty, and neither did the Prophet
fight them, nor did they fight him. If a lady from the first group of pagans emigrated towards the
Muslims, her hand would not be asked in marriage unless she got the menses and then became
clean. When she became clean, it would be lawful for her to get married, and if her husband emig –
rated too before she got married, then she would be returned to him. If any slave or female slave
emigrated from them to the Muslims, then they would be considered free persons (not slaves) and
they would have the same rights as given to other emigrants. The narrator then mentioned about the

pagans involved with the Muslims in a treaty, the same as occurs in Mujahid’s narration. If a male
slave or a female slave emigrated from such pagans as had made a treaty with the Muslims, they
would not be returned, but their prices would be paid (to the pagans). Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: Qariba,
the daughter of Abi Umaiyya, was the wife of ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab. ‘Umar divorced her and then
Mu’awiyya bin Abi Sufyan married her. Similarly, Um Al-Hakam, the daughter of Abi Sufyan was the
wife of ‘Iyad bin Ghanm Al-Fihri. He divorced her and then ‘Abdullah bin ‘Uthman Al-Thaqafi mar –
ried her.

Narrated ‘Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) When believing women came to the Prophet as emigrants, he used to test
them in accordance with the order of Allah. ‘O you who believe! When believing women come to
you as emigrants, examine them . . .’ (60.10) So if anyone of those believing women accepted the
above mentioned conditions, she accepted the conditions of faith. When they agreed on those condi –
tions and confessed that with their tongues, Allah’s Apostle would say to them, “Go, I have accepted
your oath of allegiance (for Islam). By Allah, and hand of Allah’s Apostle never touched the hand of
any woman, but he only used to take their pledge of allegiance orally. By Allah, Allah’s Apostle did
not take the pledge of allegiance of the women except in accordance with what Allah had ordered
him. When he accepted their pledge of allegiance he would say to them, “I have accepted your oath
of allegiance.”

been sprained (dislocated). So he stayed in the Mashruba (an attic room) of his for 29 days. Then he
came down, and they (the people) said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You took an oath to abstain from your
wives for one month.” He said, “The month is of twenty nine days.”

Narrated Nafi:
Ibn ‘Umar used to say about the Ila (which Allah defined (in the Holy Book), “If the period of Ila
expires, then the husband has either to retain his wife in a handsome manner or to divorce her as
Allah has ordered.” Ibn ‘Umar added, “When the period of four months has expired, the husband
should be put in prison so that he should divorce his wife, but the divorce does not occur unless the
husband himself declares it. This has been mentioned by ‘Uthman, ‘Ali, Abu Ad-Darda, ‘Aisha and
twelve other companions of the Prophet .”

Narrated Yazid:
(the Maula of Munba’ith) The Prophet was asked regarding the case of a lost sheep. He said, “You
should take it, because it is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf.” Then he was asked about a
lost camel. He got angry and his face became red and he said (to the questioner), “You have nothing
to do with it; it has its feet and its water container with it; it can go on drinking water and eating
trees till its owner meets it.” And then the Prophet was asked about a Luqata (money found by some –
body). He said, “Remember and recognize its tying material and its container, and make public an –
nouncement about it for one year. If somebody comes and identifies it (then give it to him), otherwise
add it to your property.”
