Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet sent (an army unit under the command of) Khalid bin Al-Walid to fight against the
tribe of Bani Jadhima and those people could not express themselves by saying, “Aslamna,” but they
said, “Saba’na! Saba’na! ” Khalid kept on killing some of them and taking some others as captives, and
he gave a captive to everyone of us and ordered everyone of us to kill his captive. I said, “By Allah, I
shall not kill my captive and none of my companions shall kill his captive!” Then we mentioned that
to the Prophet and he said, “O Allah! I am free from what Khalid bin Al-Walid has done,” and re –
peated it twice.

be one of the most beloved persons to me, and now his son (Usama) is one of the most beloved per –
sons to me after him. ” (See Hadith No. 745, Vol. 5)

Narrated Um Salama:
The Prophet heard the voices of some people quarreling near his gate, so he went to them and
said, “I am only a human being and litigants with cases of disputes come to me, and maybe one of
them presents his case eloquently in a more convincing and impressive way than the other, and I
give my verdict in his favor thinking he is truthful. So if I give a Muslim’s right to another (by mis –
take), then that (property) is a piece of Fire, which is up to him to take it or leave it.” (See Hadith No.
281 )

Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet said, “If somebody on the demand of a judge takes an oath to grab (a Muslim’s) prop –
erty and he is liar in it, he will meet Allah Who will be angry with him”. So Allah revealed,:–
‘Verily! those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant and their oaths..’ (3.77)
‘Al-Ashath came while Abdullah was narrating (this) to the people. Al-Ashath said, “This verse was
revealed regarding me and another man with whom I had a quarrel about a well. The Prophet said
(to me), “Do you have any evidence?’ I replied, ‘No.’ He said, ‘Let your opponent take an oath.’ I said: I
am sure he would take a (false) oath.” Thereupon it was revealed: ‘Verily! those who purchase a small
gain at the cost of Allah’s Covenant….’ (3.77) (See Hadith No. 72, Vol 6).

Narrated ‘Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) ‘Utba bin Abi Waqqas said to his brother Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas, “The son of
the slave girl of Zam’a is from me, so take him into your custody.” So in the year of Conquest of
Mecca, Sa’d took him and said. (This is) my brother’s son whom my brother has asked me to take into
my custody.” ‘Abd bin Zam’a got up before him and said, (He is) my brother and the son of the slave
girl of my father, and was born on my father’s bed.” So they both submitted their case before Allah’s
Apostle. Sa’d said, “O Allah’s Apostle! This boy is the son of my brother and he entrusted him to me.”
‘Abd bin Zam’a said, “This boy is my brother and the son of the slave girl of my father, and was born
on the bed of my father.” Allah’s Apostle said, “The boy is for you, O ‘Abd bin Zam’a!” Then Allah’s
Apostle further said, “The child is for the owner of the bed, and the stone is for the adulterer,” He
then said to Sauda bint Zam’a, “Veil (screen) yourself before him,” when he saw the child’s resemb –
lance to ‘Utba. The boy did not see her again till he met Allah.

Volume 9, Book 89, Number 292:
Narrated Um Salama:
(the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Apostle heard some people quarreling at the door of his dwelling,
so he went out to them and said, “I am only a human being, and litigants with cases of dispute come
to me, and someone of you may happen to be more eloquent (in presenting his case) than the other,
whereby I may consider that he is truthful and pass a judgment in his favor. If ever I pass a judgment
in favor of somebody whereby he takes a Muslim’s right unjustly, then whatever he takes is nothing
but a piece of Fire, and it is up to him to take or leave.”
