Rifa`a Al-Qurazi divorced his wife irrevocably (i.e. that divorce was the final). Later on `Abdur-
Rahman bin Az-Zubair married her after him. She came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I
was Rifa`a's wife and he divorced me thrice, and then I was married to `Abdur-Rahman bin AzZubair,
who, by Allah has nothing with him except something like this fringe, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)," showing a
fringe she had taken from her covering sheet. Abu Bakr was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) while Khalid Ibn
Sa`id bin Al-As was sitting at the gate of the room waiting for admission. Khalid started calling Abu
Bakr, "O Abu Bakr! Why don't you reprove this lady from what she is openly saying before Allah's
Apostle?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did nothing except smiling, and then said (to the lady), "Perhaps you want
to go back to Rifa`a? No, (it is not possible), unless and until you enjoy the sexual relation with him
(`Abdur Rahman), and he enjoys the sexual relation with you."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 112
Allah sent (the Prophet) Muhammad and said:--
'Say, No wage do I ask of you for this (Quran) nor am I one of the pretenders (i.e. a person who
pretends things which do not exist). (38.68) When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saw Quraish standing against him,
he said, "O Allah! Help me against them by afflicting them with seven years of famine similar to the
seven years (of famine) of Joseph. So they were afflicted with a year of drought that destroyed
everything, and they ate bones and hides. (One of them said), "And they ate hides and dead animals,
and (it seemed to them that) something like smoke was coming out of the earth. So Abu Sufyan came
to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Muhammad! Your people are on the verge of destruction! Please invoke
Allah to relieve them." So the Prophet (ﷺ) invoked Allah for them (and the famine disappeared). He said
to them. "You will revert (to heathenism) after that." `Abdullah then recited:
'Then watch you for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke plainly visible.......but truly
you will revert (to disbelief).' He added, "Will the punishment be removed from them in the
Hereafter? The smoke and the grasp and the Al-Lizam have all passed." One of the sub-narrater said,
"The splitting of the moon." And another said, "The defeat of the Romans (has passed).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 346
My grandfather, Rafi` bin Khadij said, "We were in the valley of Dhul-Hulaifa of Tuhama in the
company of the Prophet (ﷺ) and had some camels and sheep (of the booty). The people hurried (in
slaughtering the animals) and put their meat in the pots and started cooking. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came and
ordered them to upset the pots, and distributed the booty considering one camel as equal to ten sheep.
One of the camels fled and the people had only a few horses, so they got worried. (The camel was
chased and) a man slopped the camel by throwing an arrow at it. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Some of these
animals are untamed like wild animals, so if anyone of them went out of your control, then you should
treat it as you have done now.' " My grandfather said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We fear that we may meet
our enemy tomorrow and we have no knives, could we slaughter the animals with reeds?" The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, "Yes, or you can use what would make blood flow (slaughter) and you can eat what is
slaughtered and the Name of Allah is mentioned at the time of slaughtering. But don't use teeth or
fingernails (in slaughtering). I will tell you why, as for teeth, they are bones, and fingernails are used
by Ethiopians for slaughtering. (See Hadith 668)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 47, Hadith 22
When we were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he was distributing the spoils of war, there came to him Dhul-Khuwasira, one of Banu Tamim. He said: Messenger of Allah, do justice. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Woe be upon thee! Who would do justice, if I do not do justice? You would be unsuccessful and incurring a loss, if I do not do justice. Upon this Umar b. Khattab (Allah be pleased with him) said: Messenger of Allah, permit me to strike off his neck. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Leave him, for he has friends (who would outwardly look to be so religious and pious) that everyone among you would consider his prayer insignificant as compared with their prayer, and his fast as compared with their fasts. They would recite the Quran but it would not go beyond their collar-bones. They would pass through (the teachings of Islam so hurriedly) just as the arrow passes through the prey. He would look at its Iron head, but would not find anything ticking) there. He would then see at the lowest end, but would not find anything sticking there. He would then see at its grip but would not find anything sticking to it. He would then see at its feathers and he would find nothing sticking to them (as the arrow would pass so quickly that nothing would stick to it) neither excrement nor blood. They would be recognised by the presence of a black man among them whose upper arms would be like a woman's breast, or like a piece of meat as it quivers, and they would come forth at the time when there is dissension among the people. Abu Sai'd said: I testify to the fact that I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and I testify to the fact that 'Ali b. Abu Talib fought against them and I was with him. He gave orders about that man who was sought for, and when he was brought in, and when I looked at him, he was exactly as the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had described him.
Sahih Muslim Book 12, Hadith 193
"There was a time when we did not pass so many judgments, but now that time is over. Now Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has decreed that we reach a time when, as you see, (we are asked to pass many judgments). Whoever among you is asked to pass a judgment after this day, let him pass judgment according to what is in the Book of Allah. If he is faced with a matter that is not mentioned in the Book of Allah, let him pass judgment according to the way His Prophet passed judgment. If he is faced with a matter that is not mentioned in the Book of Allah, and concerning which His Prophet did not pass judgment, then let him pass judgment according to the way the righteous passed judgment. And let him not say 'I am afraid, I am afraid.' For that which is lawful is clear and that which is unlawful is clear, and between them are matters which are not as clear. Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt."
