Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Umar expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijaz. When Allah’s Apostle had conquered
Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allah, His Apostle,
and the Muslims. Allah’s Apostle intended to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay
there on the condition that they would do the labor and get half of the fruits. Allah’s Apostle told
them, “We will let you stay on thus condition, as long as we wish.” So, they (i.e. Jews) kept on living
there until ‘Umar forced them to go towards Taima’ and Ariha’.

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said, “Your example and the example of the people of the two Scriptures (i.e. Jews and
Christians) is like the example of a man who employed some laborers and asked them, ‘Who will
work for me from morning till midday for one Qirat?’ The Jews accepted and carried out the work.
He then asked, Who will work for me from midday up to the ‘Asr prayer for one Qirat?’ The Christi –
ans accepted and fulfilled the work. He then said, ‘Who will work for me from the ‘Asr till sunset for
two Qirats?’ You, Muslims have accepted the offer. The Jews and the Christians got angry and said,
‘Why should we work more and get lesser wages?’ (Allah) said, ‘Have I with-held part of your right?’
They replied in the negative. He said, ‘It is My Blessing, I bestow upon whomever I wish .’

Volume 3, Book 34, Number 418:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said, “While three persons were walking, rain began to fall and they had to enter a
cave in a mountain. A big rock rolled over and blocked the mouth of the cave. They said to each oth –
er, ‘Invoke Allah with the best deed you have performed (so Allah might remove the rock)’. One of
them said, ‘O Allah! My parents were old and I used to go out for grazing (my animals). On my re –
turn I would milk (the animals) and take the milk in a vessel to my parents to drink. After they had
drunk from it, I would give it to my children, family and wife. One day I was delayed and on my re –
turn I found my parents sleeping, and I disliked to wake them up. The children were crying at my
feet (because of hunger). That state of affairs continued till it was dawn. O Allah! If You regard that I
did it for Your sake, then please remove this rock so that we may see the sky.’ So, the rock was moved
a bit. The second said, ‘O Allah! You know that I was in love with a cousin of mine, like the deepest
love a man may have for a woman, and she told me that I would not get my desire fulfilled unless I
paid her one-hundred Dinars (gold pieces). So, I struggled for it till I gathered the desired amount,
and when I sat in between her legs, she told me to be afraid of Allah, and asked me not to deflower
her except rightfully (by marriage). So, I got up and left her. O Allah! If You regard that I did if for
Your sake, kindly remove this rock.’ So, two-thirds of the rock was removed. Then the third man
said, ‘O Allah! No doubt You know that once I employed a worker for one Faraq (three Sa’s) of millet,
and when I wanted to pay him, he refused to take it, so I sowed it and from its yield I bought cows
and a shepherd. After a time that man came and demanded his money. I said to him: Go to those
cows and the shepherd and take them for they are for you. He asked me whether I was joking with
him. I told him that I was not joking with him, and all that belonged to him. O Allah! If You regard
that I did it sincerely for Your sake, then please remove the rock.’ So, the rock was removed com –
pletely from the mouth of the cave.”

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
I was with the Prophet while he was eating spadix. He said, “From the trees there is a tree which
resembles a faithful believer.” I wanted to say that it was the date palm, but I was the youngest
among them (so I kept quiet). He added, “It is the date palm.” Shuraih told the weavers, “You are per –
mitted to follow your own conventions to solve your problems (it is legal for you to stick to your tra –
ditions in bargain) . ”
Narrated ‘Abdul Wahab: Aiyub said: Muhammad said, “There is no harm in selling for eleven what
you buy for ten, and you are allowed to take a profit for expenses . ”

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 3 > BOOK 34: SALES AND TRADE
The Prophet told Hind, “Take what is reasonable and sufficient for you and your sons.” Allah says:
Whoever is poor, can eat (from the orphan’s property) reasonably (according to his labors).
Al-Hasan hired a donkey from ‘Abdullah bin Mirdas and asked him about the hire. The latter
replied that it was for two Daniqs (a Daniq equals 116th Dirham). So Al-Hasan rode away. Another
time, Al-Hasan came to ‘Abdullah bin Mirdas and asked him to hire the donkey to him and rode
away without asking him about the hire, but he sent him half a Dirham.
