That his father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud and was in debt and left six (orphan)
daughters. Jabir, added, "When the season of plucking the dates came, I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
said, "You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, and he was heavily in debt, and I
would like that the creditors should see you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and pile every kind of dates
apart." I did so and called him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ). When the creditors saw him, they started claiming
their debts from me then in such a harsh manner (as they had never done before). So when he saw
their attitude, he went round the biggest heap of dates thrice, and then sat over it and said, 'O Jabir),
call your companions (i.e. the creditors).' Then he kept on measuring (and giving) to the creditors
(their due) till Allah paid all the debt of my father. I would have been satisfied to retain nothing of
those dates for my sisters after Allah had paid the debts of my father. But Allah saved all the heaps (of
dates), so that when I looked at the heap where the Prophet (ﷺ) had been sitting, it seemed as if a single
date had not been taken away thereof."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 99
Yahya said that Malik spoke about an investor who made a qirad
loan to a man.
He said, "When the investment is large, the
travelling expenses of the agent are taken from it. He can use it to
eat and clothe himself in an acceptable fashion according to the size
of the investment. If it saves him trouble, he can take a wage from
some of the capital, if it is large, and he cannot support himself.
There are certain jobs which an agent or his like are not responsible
for, amongst them are collecting debts, transporting the goods,
loading up and so forth. He can hire from the capital someone to do
that for him. The agent should not spend from the capital nor clothe
himself from it while he resides with his family. It is only permitted
for him to have expenses when he travels for the investment. The
expenses are taken from the capital. If he is only trading with the
property in the city in which he resides, he has no expenses from the
capital and no clothing."
Malik spoke about an investor who
paid qirad money to a man, and the agent went out with it and with his
own capital. He said, "The expenses come from the qirad and from his
own capital according to their proportions."
Muwatta Malik Book 32, Hadith 10
some of the people from among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: Messenger of Allah, the rich have taken away (all the) reward. They observe prayer as we do; they keep the fasts as we keep, and they give Sadaqa out of their surplus riches. Upon this he (the Holy Prophet) said: Has Allah not prescribed for you (a course) by following which you can (also) do sadaqa? In every declaration of the glorification of Allah (i. e. saying Subhan Allah) there is a Sadaqa, and every Takbir (i. e. saying Allah-O-Akbar) is a sadaqa, and every praise of His (saying al-Hamdu Lillah) is a Sadaqa and every declaration that He is One (La illha ill-Allah) is a sadaqa, and enjoining of good is a sadaqa, and forbidding of that which is evil is a Sadaqa, and in man's sexual Intercourse (with his wife, ) there is a Sadaqa. They (the Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual passion among us? He said: Tell me, if he were to devote it to something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his part? Similarly, if he were to devote it to something lawful, he should have a reward.
Sahih Muslim Book 12, Hadith 66
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I am ruined!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Why?" He said, "I had sexual
intercourse with my wife while fasting (in the month of Ramadan)." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him,
"Manumit a slave (as expiation)." He replied, "I cannot afford that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then fast for
two successive months." He said, "I cannot." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then feed sixty poor persons." He
said, "I have nothing to do that." In the meantime a basket full of dates was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) .
He said, "Where is the questioner." The man said, "I am here." The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "Give this
(basket of dates) in charity (as expiation)." He said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I give it to poorer
people than us? By Him Who sent you with the Truth, there is no family between Medina's two
mountains poorer than us." The Prophet (ﷺ) smiled till his pre-molar teeth became visible. He then said,
"Then take it."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 69, Hadith 18
`Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakr said, "The Suffa Companions were poor people and the Prophet (ﷺ) said,
'Whoever has food for two persons should take a third one from them (Suffa companions). And
whosoever has food for four persons he should take one or two from them' Abu Bakr took three men
and the Prophet (ﷺ) took ten of them."
`Abdur Rahman added, my father my mother and I were there (in the house). (The sub-narrator is in
doubt whether `Abdur Rahman also said, 'My wife and our servant who was common for both my
house and Abu Bakr's house). Abu Bakr took his supper with the Prophet (ﷺ) and remained there till the
`Isha' prayer was offered. Abu Bakr went back and stayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) till the Prophet (ﷺ) took his
meal and then Abu Bakr returned to his house after a long portion of the night had passed. Abu Bakr's
wife said, 'What detained you from your guests (or guest)?' He said, 'Have you not served them yet?'
She said, 'They refused to eat until you come. The food was served for them but they refused." `Abdur
Rahman added, "I went away and hid myself (being afraid of Abu Bakr) and in the meantime he (Abu
Bakr) called me, 'O Ghunthar (a harsh word)!' and also called me bad names and abused me and then
said (to his family), 'Eat. No welcome for you.' Then (the supper was served). Abu Bakr took an oath
that he would not eat that food. The narrator added: By Allah, whenever any one of us (myself and the
guests of Suffa companions) took anything from the food, it increased from underneath. We all ate to
our fill and the food was more than it was before its serving.
Abu Bakr looked at it (the food) and found it as it was before serving or even more than that. He
addressed his wife (saying) 'O the sister of Bani Firas! What is this?' She said, 'O the pleasure of my
eyes! The food is now three times more than it was before.' Abu Bakr ate from it, and said, 'That
(oath) was from Satan' meaning his oath (not to eat). Then he again took a morsel (mouthful) from it
and then took the rest of it to the Prophet. So that meal was with the Prophet. There was a treaty
between us and some people, and when the period of that treaty had elapsed the Prophet (ﷺ) divided us
into twelve (groups) (the Prophet's companions) each being headed by a man. Allah knows how many
men were under the command of each (leader). So all of them (12 groups of men) ate of that meal."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 9, Hadith 77
Yahya said that he heard Malik say, "What is done in our
community about some one who gives a gift not intending a reward is
that he calls witnesses to it. It is affirmed for the one to whom it
has been given unless the giver dies before the one to whom it was
given receives the gift."
He said, "If the giver wants to
keep the gift after he has had it witnessed, he cannot. If the
recipient claims it from him, he takes it."
Malik said, "If
some one gives a gift and then withdraws it and the recipient brings a
witness to testify for him that he was given the gift, be it goods,
gold, silver or animals, the recipient is made to take an oath. If he
refuses, the giver is made to take an oath. If he also refuses to take
an oath, he gives to the recipient what he claims from him if he has
at least one witness. If he does not have a witness, he has nothing .
"
Malik said, "If someone gives a gift not expecting anything
in return and then the recipient dies, the heirs are in his place. If
the giver dies before the recipient has received his gift, the
recipient has nothing. That is because he was given a gift which he
did not take possession of. If the giver wants to keep it, and he has
called witnesses to the gift, he cannot do that. If the recipient
claims his right he takes it."
Muwatta Malik Book 36, Hadith 57
“The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) sacrificed two rams on the Day of ‘Eid. When he turned
them
to face towards the prayer direction he said: ‘Verily, I have
turned my face towards Him Who has created the heavens and the earth,
as a monotheist, and I am not of the polytheists. Verily, my prayer,
my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of all
that exists. He has no partner. And of this I have been commanded,
and
I am the first of the Muslims. O Allah, from You
to
You, on behalf of Muhammad and his nation.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 26, Hadith 2
