Narrated ‘Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
Marwan bin Al-Hakam and Al-Miswar bin Makhrama told him that when the Muslims were per –
mitted to set free the captives of Hawazin, Allah’s Apostle said, “I do not know who amongst you has
agreed (to it) and who has not. Go back so that your ‘Urafa’ may submit your decision to us.” So the
people returned and their ‘Urafa’ talked to them and then came back to Allah’s Apostle and told him
that the people had given their consent happily and permitted (their captives to be freed).

Volume 9, Book 89, Number 291:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Hind (bint ‘Utba) said to the Prophet “Abu Sufyan is a miserly man and I need to take some money
of his wealth.” The Prophet said, “Take reasonably what is sufficient for you and your children “
Volume 9, Book 89, Number 286:
Narrated Abu Humaid Al-Sa’idi:
The Prophet appointed a man from the tribe of Bani Asad, called Ibn Al-Utabiyya to collect the Za –
kat. When he returned (with the money) he said (to the Prophet), “This is for you and this has been
given to me as a gift.” The Prophet stood up on the pulpit (Sufyan said he ascended the pulpit), and
after glorifying and praising Allah, he said, “What is wrong with the employee whom we send (to
collect Zakat from the public) that he returns to say, ‘This is for you and that is for me?’ Why didn’t
he stay at his father’s and mother’s house to see whether he will be given gifts or not? By Him in
Whose Hand my life is, whoever takes anything illegally will bring it on the Day of Resurrection by
carrying it over his neck: if it is a camel, it will be grunting: if it is a cow, it will be mooing: and if it is
a sheep it will be bleating!” The Prophet then raised both his hands till we saw the whiteness of his
armpits (and he said), “No doubt! Haven’t I conveyed Allah’s Message?” And he repeated it three
times.
Volume 9, Book 89, Number 282:
Narrated Abu Qatada:
Allah’s Apostle said on the Day of (the battle of) Hunain, “Whoever has killed an infidel and has a
proof or a witness for it, then the salb (arms and belongings of that deceased) will be for him.” I stood
up to seek a witness to testify that I had killed an infidel but I could not find any witness and then sat
down. Then I thought that I should mention the case to Allah’s Apostle I (and when I did so) a man
from those who were sitting with him said, “The arms of the killed person he has mentioned, are
with me, so please satisfy him on my behalf.” Abu Bakr said, “No, he will not give the arms to a bird of
Quraish and deprive one of Allah’s lions of it who fights for the cause of Allah and His Apostle.” Al –
lah’s Apostle I stood up and gave it to me, and I bought a garden with its price, and that was my first
property which I owned through the war booty.

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 9 > BOOK 89: JUDGMENTS (AHKAAM)
The people of Hijaz said, “A judge should not pass a judgment according to his knowledge, wheth –
er he was a witness at the time he was the judge or before that” And if a litigant gives a confession in
favor of his opponent in the court, in the opinion of some scholars, the judge should not pass a judg –
ment against him till the latter calls two witnesses to witness his confession. And some people of Iraq
said, “A judge can pass a judgement according to what he hears or witnesses (the litigant’s confes –
sion) in the court itself, but if the confession takes place outside the court, he should not pass the
judgment unless two witnesses witness the confession.” Some of them said, “A judge can pass a judge –
ment depending on his knowledge of the case as he is trust-worthy, and that a witness is Required
just to reveal the truth. The judge’s knowledge is more than the witness.” Some said, “A judge can
judge according to his knowledge only in cases involving property, but in other cases he cannot.” Al-
Qasim said, “A judge ought not to pass a judgment depending on his knowledge if other people do
not know what he knows, although his knowledge is more than the witness of somebody else be –
cause he might expose himself to suspicion by the Muslims and cause the Muslims to have unreas –
onable doubt. “

(home), the Prophet accompanied her. It happened that two men from the Ansar passed by them and

“Satan circulates in the human body as blood does.”
