Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “The (reward of) deeds, depend upon the intentions and every per –
son will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for the sake of Al –
lah and His Apostle, then his emigration will be considered to be for Allah and His Apostle, and who –
ever emigrated for the sake of worldly gain or for a woman to marry, then his emigration will be
considered to be for what he emigrated for.”

In the last part of his narration about the three who remained behind (from the battle of Tabuk). (I
said) “As a proof of my true repentance (for not joining the Holy battle of Tabuk), I shall give up all
my property for the sake of Allah and His Apostle (as an expiation for that sin).” The Prophet said (to
me), “Keep some of your wealth, for that is better for you.”

Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet used to stay (for a period) in the house of Zainab bint Jahsh (one of the wives of the
Prophet ) and he used to drink honey in her house. Hafsa and I decided that when the Prophet
entered upon either of us, she would say, “I smell in you the bad smell of Maghafir (a bad smelling
raisin). Have you eaten Maghafir?” When he entered upon one of us, she said that to him. He replied
(to her), “No, but I have drunk honey in the house of Zainab bint Jahsh, and I will never drink it
again.” Then the following verse was revealed: ‘O Prophet ! Why do you ban (for you) that which Al –
lah has made lawful for you?. ..(up to) If you two (wives of the Prophet turn in repentance to Allah.’
(66.1-4) The two were ‘Aisha and Hafsa And also the Statement of Allah: ‘And (Remember) when the
Prophet disclosed a matter in confidence to one of his wives!’ (66.3) i.e., his saying, “But I have drunk
honey.” Hisham said: It also meant his saying, “I will not drink anymore, and I have taken an oath, so
do not inform anybody of that ‘

taken out.”

that he heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “(Moses) said, ‘Call me not to account for what I forget and be
not hard upon me for my affair (with you)’ (18.73) the first excuse of Moses was his forgetfulness.”
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib that once he had a guest, so he told his family (on the Day of Id-ul-
Adha) that they should slaughter the animal for sacrifice before he returned from the (‘Id) prayer in
order that their guest could take his meal. So his family slaughtered (the animal ) before the prayer.
Then they mentioned that event to the Prophet who ordered Al-Bara to slaughter another sacrifice.
Al-Bara’ said to the Prophet , “I have a young milch she-goat which is better than two sheep for
slaughtering.” (The sub-narrator, Ibn ‘Aun used to say, “I don’t know whether the permission (to
slaughter a she-goat as a sacrifice) was especially given to Al-Bara’ or if it was in general for all the
Muslims.”) (See Hadith No. 99, Vol. 2.)
Volume 8, Book 78, Number 666:
Narrated Jundub:
I witnessed the Prophet offering the ‘Id prayer (and after finishing it) he delivered a sermon and
said, “Whoever has slaughtered his sacrifice (before the prayer) should make up for it (i.e. slaughter
another animal) and whoever has not slaughtered his sacrifice yet, should slaughter it by mentioning
Allah’s Name over it.”
