Volume 6, Book 60, Number 72:
Narrated Abu Wail:
‘Abdullah bin Masud said, “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Whoever takes an oath when asked to do so, in
which he may deprive a Muslim of his property unlawfully, will meet Allah Who will be angry with
him.’ So Allah revealed in confirmation of this statement:–“Verily! Those who Purchase a small gain
at the cost of Allah’s Covenant and oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter…” (3.77) Then
entered Al-Ash’ath bin Qais and said, “What is Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman narrating to you?” We replied,
‘So-and-so.” Al-Ash’ath said, “This Verse was revealed in my connection. I had a well in the land of
my cousin (and he denied my, possessing it). On that the Prophet said to me, ‘Either you bring for –
ward a proof or he (i.e. your cousin) takes an oath (to confirm his claim)’ I said, ‘I am sure he would
take a (false) oath, O Allah’s Apostle.’ He said, ‘If somebody takes an oath when asked to do so
through which he may deprive a Muslim of his property (unlawfully) and he is a liar in his oath, he
will meet Allah Who will be angry with him.’ “

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 41:
Narrated Abu Wail:
Hudhaifa said, “The Verse:–
“And spend (of your wealth) in the Cause of Allah and do not throw yourselves in destruction,”
(2.195) was revealed concerning spending in Allah’s Cause (i.e. Jihad).”

Volume 5, Book 58, Number 237:
Narrated Abu Wail:
We visited Khabbaba who said, “We migrated with the Prophet for Allah’s Sake, so our reward be –
came due and sure with Allah. Some of us passed away without taking anything of their rewards (in
this world) and one of them was Mus’ab bin ‘Umar who was martyred on the day (of the battle) of
Uhud leaving a striped woolen cloak. When we covered his head with it, his feet became naked, and
when covered his feet, his head became naked.
So Allah’s Apostle ordered us to cover his head and put some Idhkhir (i.e. a special kind of grass)
on his feet. (On the other hand) some of us have had their fruits ripened (in this world) and they are
collecting them.”

Volume 5, Book 57, Number 116:
Narrated Abu Wail:
When ‘Ali sent ‘Ammar and Al-Hasan to (the people of) Kufa to urge them to fight, ‘Ammar ad –
dressed them saying, “I know that she (i.e. ‘Aisha) is the wife of the Prophet in this world and in the
Hereafter (world to come), but Allah has put you to test, whether you will follow Him (i.e. Allah) or
her.”

Somebody said to Usama, “Will you go to so-and-so (i.e. ‘Uthman) and talk to him (i.e. advise him
regarding ruling the country)?” He said, “You see that I don’t talk to him. Really I talk to (advise) him
secretly without opening a gate (of affliction), for neither do I want to be the first to open it (i.e. re –
bellion), nor will I say to a man who is my ruler that he is the best of all the people after I have heard
something from Allah s Apostle .” They said, What have you heard him saying? He said, “I have heard
him saying, “A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in the (Hell) Fire, so that
his intestines will come out, and he will go around like a donkey goes around a millstone. The people
of (Hell) Fire will gather around him and say: O so-and-so! What is wrong with you? Didn’t you use
to order us to do good deeds and forbid us to do bad deeds? He will reply: Yes, I used to order you to
do good deeds, but I did not do them myself, and I used to forbid you to do bad deeds, yet I used to do
them myself.”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 53: ONE-FIFTH OF BOOTY TO THE CAUSE OF ALLAH (KHUMUS)
We were in Siffin and Sahl bin Hunaif got up and said, “O people! Blame yourselves! We were
with the Prophet on the day of Hudaibiya, and if we had been called to fight, we would have fought.
But ‘Umar bin Al Khatab came and said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Aren’t we in the right and our opponents
in the wrongs’ Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Yes.’ ‘Umar said, ‘Aren’t our killed persons in Paradise and their’s
in Hell?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ ‘Umar said, ‘Then why should we accept hard terms in matters concerning our
religion? Shall we return before Allah judges between us and them?’ Allah’s Apostle said, ‘O Ibn Al-
Khattab! I am the Apostle of Allah and Allah will never degrade me. Then ‘Umar went to Abu Bakr
and told him the same as he had told the Prophet.
On that Abu Bakr said (to ‘Umar). ‘He is the Apostle of Allah and Allah will never degrade him.’
Then Surat-al-Fath (i.e. Victory) was revealed and Allah’s Apostle recited it to the end in front of
‘Umar. On that ‘Umar asked, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Was it (i.e. the Hudaibiya Treaty) a victory?’ Allah’s
Apostle said, “Yes”

Volume 3, Book 48, Number 836:
Narrated Abu Wail:
Abdullah (bin Mas’ud) said, “Whoever takes a (false) oath in order to grab some property (un –
justly), Allah will be angry with him when he will meet Him. Allah confirmed that through His Di –
vine Revelation: “Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah’s covenant and their
oaths . . . they will have a painful punishment.” (3.77)
Al-Ash’ath bin Qais came to us and asked, ‘What is Abu Abdur-Rahman (i.e. ‘Abdullah) telling
you? ‘We told him what he was narrating to us. He said, ‘He was telling the truth; this Divine Verse
was revealed in connection with me. There was a dispute between me and another man about some –
thing and the case was filed before Allah’s Apostle who said, ‘Produce your two witnesses or else the
defendant is to take an oath.’ I said, The defendant will surely take a (false) oath caring for nothing.’
The Prophet said, ‘Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab (other’s) property, then Allah will be
angry with him when he will meet Him.’ Then Allah revealed its confirmation. Al-Ashath then re –
cited the above Divine Verse.” (3.77)

Volume 3, Book 45, Number 692:
Narrated Abu Wail:
Abdullah (bin Mas’ud) said, “Whoever took a false oath in order to grab somebody’s property will
meet Allah while Allah will be angry with him.” Allah revealed the following verse to confirm
that:–“Verily! Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah’s covenant And their oaths…a
painful torment.” (3.77)
Al-Ash’ath bin Qais came to us and asked as to what Abu Abdur-Rehman (i.e. Ibn Mas’ud) was
telling you.” We related the story to him. On that he said, “He has told the truth. This verse was re –
vealed about me. I had some dispute with another man regarding a well and we took the case before
Allah’s Apostle. Allah’s Apostle said (to me), “Produce two witnesses (to support your claim); other –
wise the defendant has the right to take an oath (to refute your claim).’ I said, ‘The defendant would
not mind to take a false oath.” Allah’s Apostle then said, ‘Whoever took a false oath in order to grab
someone else’s property will meet Allah, Allah will be angry with him.’ Allah then revealed what
Confirmed it.” Al-Ash’ath then recited the following Verse:–“Verily! Those who purchase a small
gain at the cost of Allah’s covenant, And their oaths . . . (to) . . . they shall have a painful torment!’
