The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Allah, the High and Glorious, would say: O Adam I and he would say: At Thy service, at thy beck and call, O Lord, and the good is in Thy Hand. Allah would say: Bring forth the group of (the denizens of) Fire. He (Adam) would say: Who are the denizens of Hell? It would be said: They are out of every thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It is at this juncture that every child would become white-haired and every pregnant woman would abort and you would see people in a state of intoxication, and they would not be in fact intoxicated but grievous will be the torment of Allah. He (the narrator) said: This had a very depressing effect upon them (upon the companions of the Holy Prophet) and they said: Messenger of Allah, who amongst us would be (that unfortunate) person (who would be doomed to Hell)? He said: Good tidings for you, Yajuj Majuj would be those thousands (who would be the denizens of Hell) and a person (selected for Paradise) would be amongst you. He (the narrator) further reported that he (the Messenger of Allah) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is thy life, I hope that you would constitute one-fourth of the inhabitants of Paradise. We extolled Allah and we glorified (Him). He (the Holy Prophet) again said: BY Him in Whose Hand is my life, I wish you would constitute one-third of the inhabitants of Paradise. We extolled Allah and Glorified (Him). He (the Holy Prophet) again said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I hope that you would constitute half of the inhabitants of Paradise. Your likeness among the people is the likeness of a white hair on the skin of a black ox or a strip on the foreleg of an ass.
Sahih Muslim Book 1, Hadith 438
Yahya said that he heard Malik speak about a man who bought goods
- animals or clothes or wares, and the sale was found not to be
permitted so it was revoked and the one who had taken the goods was
ordered to return the owner his goods. Malik said, "The owner of the
goods only has their value on the day they were taken from him, and
not on the day they are returned to him. That is because the man is
liable for them from the day he took them and whatever loss is in them
after that is against him. For that reason, their increase and growth
are also his. A man may take the goods at a time when they are selling
well and are in demand, and then have to return them at a time when
they have fallen in price and no one wants them. For instance, the man
may take the goods from the other man, and sell them for ten dinars or
keep them while their price is that. Then he may have to return them
while their price is only a dinar. He should not go off with nine
dinars from the man's property. Or perhaps they are taken by the man,
and he sells them for a dinar or keeps them, while their price is only
a dinar, then he has to return them, and their value on the day he
returns them is ten dinars. The one who took them does not have to pay
nine dinars from his property to the owner. He is only obliged to pay
the value of what he took possession of on the day it was taken ."
He said, "Part of what clarifies this is that when a thief
steals goods, only their price on the day he stole them is looked at.
If cutting off the hand is necessary because of it, that is done. If
the cutting off is delayed, either because the thief is imprisoned
until his situation is examined or he flees and then is caught, the
delay of the cutting off of the hand does not make the hadd, which was
obliged for him on the day he stole, fall from him even if those goods
become cheap after that. Nor does delay oblige cutting off the hand if
it was not obliged on the day he took those goods, even if they become
expensive after that."
Muwatta Malik Book 37, Hadith 9
What has brought you out of your houses at this hour? They said: Allah's Messenger, it is hunger. Thereupon he said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, what has brought you out has brought me out too; get up. They got up along with him. and (all of them) came to the house of an Ansari, but he was not at home. When his wife saw him she said: Most welcome, and Allah's Messenger (may peace be Upon him) said to her: Where is so and so? She said: He has gone to get some fresh water for us. When the Ansari came and he saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his two Companions, he said: Praise be to Allah, no one has more honourable guests today than I (have). He then went out and brought them a bunch of ripe dates, dry dates and fresh dates, and said: Eat some of them. He then took hold of his long knife (for slaughtering a goat or a sheep). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to him: Beware of killing a milch animal. He slaughtered a sheep for them and after they had eaten of it and of the bunch and drank, and when they had taken their fill and had been fully satisfied with the drink, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Abu Bakr and Umar: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, you will certainly be questioned about this bounty on the Day of judgment. Hunger brought you out of your house, then you did not return until this bounty came to you.
Sahih Muslim Book 36, Hadith 187
"Ar-Rubai broke the front tooth of a girls, and they asked them (her people) to forgive her, but they refused. They offered them blood money, but they refused. Then they went to the Prophet and he decreed relation. Anas Bin An-Nadr said: "O Messenger of Allah, will you break the front tooth of Ar-Rubai'? No, by the One Who sent you with the truth, it will not be broken!" He said: "O Anas, what Allah has decreed is retaliation." But the people agreed to forgive her. He (the Prophet) said: "There are among the slaves of Allah who, if they swear by Allah, Allah fulfills their oath."
