Aisha said to me, “O my nephew! We used to see the crescent, and then the crescent and then the
crescent in this way we saw three crescents in two months and no fire (for cooking) used to be made
in the houses of Allah’s Apostle. I said, “O my aunt! Then what use to sustain you?” ‘Aisha said, “The
two black things: dates and water, our neighbors from Ansar had some Manarh and they used to
present Allah’s Apostle some of their milk and he used to make us drink.”

That ‘Aisha told him that Buraira came to seek her help in her writing of emancipation (for a cer –
tain sum) and that time she had not paid anything of it. ‘Aisha said to her, “Go back to your masters,
and if they agree that I will pay the amount of your writing of emancipation and get your Wala’, I

will do so.” Buraira informed her masters of that but they refused and said, “If she (i.e. ‘Aisha) is seek –
ing Allah’s reward, then she can do so, but your Wala’ will be for us.” ‘Aisha mentioned that to Allah’s
Apostle who said to her, “Buy and manumit her, as the Wala’ is for the liberator.” Allah’s Apostle then
got up and said, “What about the people who stipulate conditions which are not present in Allah’s
Laws? Whoever imposes conditions which are not present in Allah’s Laws, then those conditions will
be invalid, even if he imposed these conditions a hundred times. Allah’s conditions (Laws) are the
truth and are more solid.”

Narrated ‘Urwa:
When a man from the Ansar quarrelled with AzZubair, the Prophet said, “O Zubair! Irrigate (your
land) first and then let the water flow (to the land of the others).” “On that the Ansari said, (to the
Prophet), “It is because he is your aunt’s son.” On that the Prophet said, “O Zubair! Irrigate till the
water reaches the walls between the pits around the trees and then stop (i.e. let the water go to the
other’s land).” I think the following verse was revealed concerning this event: “But no, by your Lord
They can have No faith Until they make you judge In all disputes between them.” (4.65)

Narrated ‘Urwa:
Aisha said, “Buraira came to me and said, ‘I have agreed with my masters to pay them nine Uqiyas
(of gold) (in installments) one Uqiya per year; please help me.’ I said, ‘I am ready to pay the whole
amount now provided your masters agree that your Wala will be for me.’ So, Buraira went to her
masters and told them about that offer but they refused to accept it. She returned, and at that time,
Allah’s Apostle was sitting (present). Buraira said, ‘I told them of the offer but they did not accept it
and insisted on having the Wala.’.’ The Prophet heard that.” ‘Aisha narrated the whole story to the
Prophet . He said to her, “Buy her and stipulate that her Wala’ would be yours as the Wala’ is for the
manumitted.” ‘Aisha did so. Then Allah’s Apostle stood up in front of the people, and after glorifying
Allah he said, “Amma Badu (i.e. then after)! What about the people who impose conditions which are
not in Allah’s Book (Laws)? Any condition that is not in Allah’s Book (Laws) is invalid even if they
were one hundred conditions, for Allah’s decisions are the right ones and His conditions are the
strong ones (firmer) and the Wala’ will be for the manumitted.”

That he was informed by ‘Aisha, “Allah’s Apostle went out in the middle of the night and prayed in
the mosque and some men prayed behind him. In the morning, the people spoke about it and then a
large number of them gathered and prayed behind him (on the second night). In the next morning
the people again talked about it and on the third night the mosque was full with a large number of
people. Allah’s Apostle came out and the people prayed behind him. On the fourth night the Mosque
was overwhelmed with people and could not accommodate them, but the Prophet came out (only)
for the morning prayer. When the morning prayer was finished he recited Tashah-hud and (ad –
dressing the people) said, “Amma ba’du, your presence was not hidden from me but I was afraid lest
the night prayer (Qiyam) should be enjoined on you and you might not be able to carry it on.” So, Al –
lah’s Apostle died and the situation remained like that (i.e. people prayed individually). “

During the pre-lslamic period of Ignorance, the people used to perform Tawaf of the Ka’ba naked
except the Hums; and the Hums were Quraish and their offspring. The Hums used to give clothes to
the men who would perform the Tawaf wearing them; and women (of the Hums) used to give
clothes to the women who would perform the Tawaf wearing them. Those to whom the Hums did
not give clothes would perform Tawaf round the Ka’ba naked. Most of the people used to go away
(disperse) directly from ‘Arafat but they (Hums) used to depart after staying at Al-Muzdalifa. ‘Urwa
added, “My father narrated that ‘Aisha had said, ‘The following verses were revealed about the Hums:
Then depart from the place whence all the people depart–(2.199) ‘Urwa added, “They (the Hums)
used to stay at Al-Muzdalifa and used to depart from there (to Mina) and so they were sent to ‘Arafat
(by Allah’s order).”

Usama was asked in my presence, “How was the speed of (the camel of) Allah’s Apostle while de –

modest pace, and when there was enough space he would (make his camel) go very fast.”
