0 Allah, enable me to derive benefit from my husband, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and from my father Abu Sufyan and from my brother Mu'awiya. Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: You have asked from Allah about durations of life already set, and the length of days already allotted and the sustenances the share of which has been fixed. Allah would not do anything earlier before its due time, or He would not delay anything beyond its due time. And if you were to ask Allah to provide you refuge from the torment of the HellFire, or from the torment of the grave, it would have good in store for you and better for you also. He (the narrator) further said: Mention was made before him about monkeys, and Mis'ar (one of the narrators) said: I think that (the narrator) also (made a mention) of the swine, which had suffered metamorphosis. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Verily, Allah did not cause the race of those which suffered metamorphosis to grow or they were not survived by young ones. Monkeys and swine had been in existence even before (the metamorphosis of the human beings).
Sahih Muslim Book 46, Hadith 49
`Abdullah (bin `Abdullah) bin `Umar said to his father, "Stay here, for I am afraid that it (affliction
between Ibn Zubair and Al-Hajjaj) might prevent you from reaching the Ka`ba." Ibn `Umar said, "(In
this case) I would do the same as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did, and Allah has said, 'Verily, in Allah's Messenger (ﷺ),
you have a good example (to follow).' So, I make you, people, witness that I have made `Umra
compulsory for me." So he assumed lhram for `Umra. Then he went out and when he reached Al-
Baida', he assumed Ihram for Hajj and `Umra (together) and said, "The conditions (requisites) of Hajj
and `Umra are the same." He, then brought a Hadi from Qudaid. Then he arrived (at Mecca) and
performed Tawaf (between Safa and Marwa) once for both Hajj and `Umra and did not finish the
lhram till he had finished both Hajj and `Umra.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 25, Hadith 172
Yahya said that Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing
things in our community is that retaliation is taken from someone who
breaks someone's hand or foot intentionally and not blood-money."
Malik said, "Retaliation is not inflicted on anyone until the
wound of the injured party has healed. Then retaliation is inflicted
on him. If the wound of the person on whom the retaliation has been
inflicted is like the first person's wound when it heals, it is
retaliation. If the wound of the one on whom the retaliation has been
inflicted becomes worse or he dies, there is nothing held against the
one who has taken retaliation. If the wound of the person on whom the
retaliation has been inflicted heals and the injured party is
paralysed or his injury has healed but he has a scar, defect, or
blemish, the person on whom the retaliation has been inflicted does
not have his hand broken again and further retaliation is not taken
for his injury."
He said, "But there is blood-money from him
according to what he has impaired or maimed of the hand of the injured
party. The bodily injury is also like that."
Malik said,
"When a man intentionally goes to his wife and gouges out her eye or
breaks her hand or cuts off her finger or such like, and does it
intentionally, retaliation is inflicted on him. As for a man who
strikes his wife with a rope or a whip and hits what he did not mean
to hit or does what he did not intend to do, he pays blood-money for
what he has struck according to this principle, and retaliation is not
inflicted on him."
Yahya related to me from Malik that he
had heard that Abu Bakr ibn Muhammd ibn Amr ibn Hazm took retaliation
for the breaking of a leg.
Muwatta Malik Book 43, Hadith 44
We went to `Aisha while Hassan bin Thabit was with her reciting poetry to her from some of his
poetic verses, saying "A chaste wise lady about whom nobody can have suspicion. She gets up with an
empty stomach because she never eats the flesh of indiscreet (ladies)." `Aisha said to him, "But you
are not like that." I said to her, "Why do you grant him admittance, though Allah said:-- "and as for
him among them, who had the greater share therein, his will be a severe torment." (24.11)
On that, `Aisha said, "And what punishment is more than blinding?" She, added, "Hassan used to
defend or say poetry on behalf of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (against the infidels).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 190
I asked Prophet (ﷺ) about featherless arrow. He said: If it strikes with its end, eat, and if it strikes with the middle part of it, do not eat, for it died by a violent blow. I said: I set off my dog? He replies: If you mention Allah's name, eat, otherwise do not eat. If it eats any of it, do not eat, for it caught for itself. He asked: I set off my dog, and I find with it another dog ? He replied: Do not eat, because you mentioned Allah's name on your dog.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 17, Hadith 11
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There are three persons whom Allah will not look at on the Day of
Resurrection, nor will he purify them and theirs shall be a severe punishment. They are:
-1. A man possessed superfluous water, on a way and he withheld it from travelers.
-2. A man who gave a pledge of allegiance to a ruler and he gave it only for worldly benefits. If the
ruler gives him something he gets satisfied, and if the ruler withholds something from him, he gets
dissatisfied.
-3. And man displayed his goods for sale after the `Asr prayer and he said, 'By Allah, except Whom
None has the right to be worshipped, I have been given so much for my goods,' and somebody
believes him (and buys them).
The Prophet (ﷺ) then recited: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and
their oaths." (3.77)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 42, Hadith 7
O, son of Adam, did you find any comfort, did you happen to get any material blessing? He would say: By Allah, no, my Lord. And then that person from amongst the persons of the world be brought who had led the most miserable life (in the world) from amongst the inmates of Paradise. and he would be made to dip once in Paradise and it would be said to him. 0, son of Adam, did you face, any hardship? Or had any distress fallen to your lot? And he would say: By Allah, no,0 my Lord, never did I face any hardship or experience any distress.
