While I was sitting with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) two person came to him; one of them complained
about his poverty and the other complained about the prevalence of robberies. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"As regards stealing and robberies, there will shortly come a time when a caravan will go to Mecca
(from Medina) without any guard. And regarding poverty, The Hour (Day of Judgment) will not be
established till one of you wanders about with his object of charity and will not find anybody to accept
it And (no doubt) each one of you will stand in front of Allah and there will be neither a curtain nor an
interpreter between him and Allah, and Allah will ask him, 'Did not I give you wealth?' He will reply
in the affirmative. Allah will further ask, 'Didn't send a messenger to you?' And again that person will
reply in the affirmative Then he will look to his right and he will see nothing but Hell-fire, and then he
will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire. And so, any (each one) of you should save
himself from the fire even by giving half of a date-fruit (in charity). And if you do not find a hall datefruit,
then (you can do it through saying) a good pleasant word (to your brethren). (See Hadith No.
793 Vol. 4).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 17
Yahya said that Malik spoke about an investor who gave qirad
money to a man, and then the man sought a loan from the investor or
the investor borrowed money from the agent, or the investor left goods
with the agent to sell for him, or the investor gave the agent dinars
to buy goods with. Malik said, "There is no harm if the investor
leaves his goods with him knowing that if the agent did not have his
money and he had asked a similar thing of him, he would have still
done it because of the brotherhood between them or because it would
have been no bother to him and that had the agent refused that, he
would not have removed his capital from him. Or if the agent had
borrowed from the investor or carried his goods for him and he knew
that if the investor had not had his capital with him, he would have
still done the same for him, and had he refused that to him, he would
not have returned his capital to him. If that is true between both of
them and it is in the way of a favour between them and it is not a
condition in the terms of the qirad, it is permitted and there is no
harm in it. If a condition comes into it, or it is feared that the
agent is only doing it for the investor in order to safeguard the
capital in his possession, or the investor is only doing it because
the agent has taken his capital and will not return it to him, that is
not permitted in qirad and it is part of what the people of knowledge
forbid.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 32, Hadith 13
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that a man came
to Abdullah ibn Umar, and said, "Abu Abd ar-Rahman! I placed the
command of my wife in her hand, and she divorced herself, what do you
think?" Abdullah ibn Umar said, "I think that it is as she said." The
man said, "Don't do it, Abu Abd ar-Rahman!" Ibn Umar said, "You did
it, it has nothing to do with me."
