The Prophet (ﷺ) went to `Aisha and asked her whether she had something (to eat). She replied that she
had nothing except the mutton (piece) which Nusaiba (Um 'Atiyya) had sent to us (Barira) in

us."

(the slave of Ibn `Abbas) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to Mu`adh when he sent him to Yemen, "You will go to
the people of the Scripture. So, when you reach there, invite them to testify that none has the right to
be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle. And if they obey you in that, tell them
that Allah has enjoined on them five prayers in each day and night. And if they obey you in that tell
them that Allah has made it obligatory on them to pay the Zakat which will be taken from the rich
among them and given to the poor among them. If they obey you in that, then avoid taking the best of
their possessions, and be afraid of the curse of an oppressed person because there is no screen between
his invocation and Allah."
