"The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) made a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu Ad-Darda. Salman went to visit Abu Ad-Darda, and saw Umm Ad-Darda wearing shabby clothes, So he said: 'Why are you wearing such shabby clothes?' She said: 'Your brother Abu Ad-Darda has no interest in the world.' So when Abu Ad-Darda arrived, he prepared some food for him (Salman) and said: 'Eat, for I am fasting.' He said: 'I shall not eat until you eat.'" He said: "So he ate. When night came Abu Ad-Darda started to leave and stand (in prayer), but Salman said to him: 'Sleep.' So he slept. Then he went to stand (in prayer) but he said to him: 'Sleep'. So he slept. When the morning (Fajr) came,Salman said: 'Get up now.'So he got up to perform Salat. Then he (Salman) said: 'Indeed your self has a right upon you, your Lord has a right upon you, your guest has a right upon you, and your family has a right upon you. So give each the right they are due. The Prophet (s.a.w), and that was mentioned to him, so he said: 'Salman has told the truth.'"
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 36, Hadith 111
Yahya related to me from Malik, from Nafi, from Nubayh ibn Wahb,
who was from the tribe of Bani Abd ad-Dar, that Umar ibn Ubaydullah
sent a message to Aban ibn Uthman (who was amir of the hajj at the
time), while both of them were in ihram, saying, "I want to marry Bint
Shayba ibn Jubayr to Talha ibn Umar and I want you to be present."
Aban told him that he should not do that and said, "I heard Uthman ibn
Affan say that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'A man in ihram should not marry, or give in
marriage, or get betrothed.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 72
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of Muslims, Jews and Christians is like the example of a man who
employed laborers to work for him from morning till night for specific wages. They worked till
midday and then said, 'We do not need your money which you have fixed for us and let whatever we
have done be annulled.' The man said to them, 'Don't quit the work, but complete the rest of it and
take your full wages.' But they refused and went away. The man employed another batch after them
and said to them, 'Complete the rest of the day and yours will be the wages I had fixed for the first
batch.' So, they worked till the time of `Asr prayer. Then they said, "Let what we have done be
annulled and keep the wages you have promised us for yourself.' The man said to them, 'Complete the
rest of the work, as only a little of the day remains,' but they refused. Thereafter he employed another
batch to work for the rest of the day and they worked for the rest of the day till the sunset, and they
received the wages of the two former batches. So, that was the example of those people (Muslims) and
the example of this light (guidance) which they have accepted willingly.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 37, Hadith 11
Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad bin 'Abu Yaghuth said (to me), "What
forbids you to talk to `Uthman about his brother Al-Walid because people have talked much about
him?" So I went to `Uthman and when he went out for prayer I said (to him), "I have something to say
to you and it is a piece of advice for you " `Uthman said, "O man, from you." (`Umar said: I see that
he said, "I seek Refuge with Allah from you.") So I left him and went to them. Then the messenger of
`Uthman came and I went to him (i.e. `Uthman), `Uthman asked, "What is your advice?" I replied,
"Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth, and revealed the Divine Book (i.e. Quran) to him; and you
were amongst those who followed Allah and His Apostle, and you participated in the two migrations
(to Ethiopia and to Medina) and enjoyed the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and saw his way. No doubt,
the people are talking much about Al-Walid." `Uthman said, "Did you receive your knowledge
directly from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" I said, "No, but his knowledge did reach me and it reached (even) to a
virgin in her seclusion." `Uthman said, "And then Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and I was
amongst those who followed Allah and His Apostle and I believed in what ever he (i.e. the Prophet)
was sent with, and participated in two migrations, as you have said, and I enjoyed the company of
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and gave the pledge of allegiance him. By Allah! I never disobeyed him, nor did I
cheat him till Allah took him unto Him. Then I treated Abu Bakr and then `Umar similarly and then I
was made Caliph. So, don't I have rights similar to theirs?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Then what are
these talks reaching me from you people? Now, concerning what you mentioned about the question of
Al-Walid, Allah willing, I shall deal with him according to what is right." Then he called `Ali and
ordered him to flog him, and `Ali flogged him (i.e. Al-Walid) eighty lashes.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 62, Hadith 46
Retribution, retribution. Umm Rubayyi' said: Messenger of Allah, will retribution be taken from so and so? By Allah, it shall not be taken from her (i. e. from Umm Haritha). Thereupon Allah's Apostle said: Hallowed be Allah. O Umm Rubayyi', Qisas (retribution is a command, prescribed) in the Book of Allah. She said: No, by Allah, Qisas will never be taken from her; and she went on saying this until they (the relatives of the one who had been injured) accepted the blood-wit. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Verily there are amongst the servants of Allah (such pious persons) who, if they take oath of Allah, He honours it.
Sahih Muslim Book 28, Hadith 33
We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (my peace be upon him) on an expedition in the year of the Battle of Hunain. When we encountered the enemy, (some of the Muslims turned back (in fear). I saw that a man from the polytheists overpowered one of the Muslims. I turned round and attacked him from behind giving a blow between his neck and shoulder. He turned towards me and grappled with me in such a way that I began to see death staring me in the face. Then death overtook him and left me alone. I joined 'Umar b. al-Khattab who was saying: What has happened to the people (that they are retreating)? I said: It is the Decree of Allah. Then the people returned. (The battle ended in a victory for the Muslims) and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat down (to distribute the spoils of war). He said: One who has killed an enemy and can bring evidence to prove it will get his belongings. So I stood up and said: Who will give evidence for me? Then I sat down. Then he (the Holy Prophet) said like this. I stood up (again) and said: Who will bear witness for me? He (the Holy Prophet) made the same observation the third time, and I stood up (once again). Now the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: What has happened to you, O Abu Qatada? Then I related the (whole) story, to him. At this, one of the people said: He has told the truth. Messenger of Allah 1 The belongings of the enemy killed by him are with me. Persuade him to forgo his right (in my favour). (Objecting to this proposal) Abu Bakr said: BY Allah, this will not happen. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) will not like to deprive one of the lions from among the lions of Allah who fight in the cause of Allah and His Messenger and give thee his share of the booty. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: He (Abu Bakr) has told the truth, and so give the belongings to him (Abu Qatada). So he gave them to me. I sold the armour (which was a part of my share of the booty) and bought with the sale proceeds a garden in the street of Banu Salama. This was the first property I acquired after embracing Islam.
In a version of the hadith narrated by Laith, the words uttered by Abu Bakr are:" No, never! He will not give it to a fox from the Quraish leaving aside a lion from the lions of Allah among...." And the hadith is closed with the words:" The first property I acquired."
