We were in Siffin and Sahl bin Hunaif got up and said, "O people! Blame yourselves! We were with
the Prophet (ﷺ) on the day of Hudaibiya, and if we had been called to fight, we would have fought. But
`Umar bin Al Khatab came and said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Aren't we in the right and our opponents in
the wrongs' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Yes.' `Umar said, 'Aren't our killed persons in Paradise and their's in
Hell?' He said, 'Yes.' `Umar said, 'Then why should we accept hard terms in matters concerning our
religion? Shall we return before Allah judges between us and them?' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'O Ibn Al-
Khattab! I am the Messenger of Allah and Allah will never degrade me. Then `Umar went to Abu Bakr
and told him the same as he had told the Prophet.
On that Abu Bakr said (to `Umar). 'He is the Messenger of Allah and Allah will never degrade him.' Then
Surat-al-Fath (i.e. Victory) was revealed and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) recited it to the end in front of `Umar.
On that `Umar asked, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Was it (i.e. the Hudaibiya Treaty) a victory?' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "Yes".
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 58, Hadith 24
Malik related to me that he heard Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman and
others mention that al-Furafisa ibn Umar al-Hanafi had a mukatab who
offered to pay him all of his kitaba that he owed. Al-Furafisa refused
to accept it and the mukatab went to Marwan ibn al-Hakam who was the
amir of Madina and brought up the matter. Marwan summoned al-Furafisa
and told him to accept. He refused. Marwan then ordered that the
payment be taken from the mukatab and placed in the treasury. He said
to the mukatab "Go, you are free." When al-Furafisa saw that, he took
the money.
Malik said, "What is done among us when a mukatab
pays all the instalments he owes before their term, is that it is
permitted to him. The master cannot refuse him that. That is because
payment removes every condition from the mukatab as well as service
and travel. The setting free of a man is not complete while he has any
remaining slavery, and neither would his inviolability as a free man
be complete and his testimony permitted and inheritance obliged and
such things in that situation. His master must not make any
stipulation of service on him after he has been set free."
Malik said that it was permitted for a mukatab who became extremely
ill and wanted to pay his master all his instalments because his heirs
who were free would then inherit from him and he had no children with
him in his kitaba, to do so, because by that he completed his
inviolability as a free man, his testimony was permitted, and his
admission of what he owed of debts to people was permitted. His
bequest was permitted as well. His master could not refuse him that by
saying, "He is escaping from me with his property."
Muwatta Malik Book 39, Hadith 9
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) reached Khaibar at night and it was his habit that, whenever he reached the enemy at
night, he will not attack them till it was morning. When it was morning, the Jews came out with their
spades and baskets, and when they saw him(i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ), they said, "Muhammad! By Allah!
Muhammad and his army!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a
(hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 237
