I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) during his Hajj, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Where will you stay tomorrow?" He said,
"Has `Aqil left for us any house?" He then added, "Tomorrow we will stay at Khaif Bani Kinana, i.e.
Al-Muhassab, where (the Pagans of) Quraish took an oath of Kufr (i.e. to be loyal to heathenism) in
that Bani Kinana got allied with Quraish against Bani Hashim on the terms that they would not deal
with the members of the is tribe or give them shelter." (Az-Zuhri said, "Khaif means valley.") (See
Hadith No. 659, Vol. 2)

(Later on) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (once again) went along with Ubai bin Ka'b
to the garden of date-palms where Ibn Saiyad was staying. When the
Prophet entered the garden, he started hiding himself behind the
trunks of the date-palms as he wanted to hear something from the Ibn
Saiyad before the latter could see him. Ibn Saiyad was lying in his
bed, covered with a velvet sheet from where his murmurs were heard.
Ibn Saiyad's mother saw the Prophet (ﷺ) while he was hiding himself behind
the trunks of the date-palms. She addressed Ibn Saiyad, "O Saf!" (And
this was his name). Ibn Saiyad got up. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Had this
woman let him to himself, he would have revealed the reality of his
case." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) got up amongst the people, glorifying Allah as
He deserves, he mentioned Ad-Dajjal, saying, "I warn you about him
(i.e. Ad-Dajjal) and there is no prophet who did not warn his nation
about him, and Noah warned his nation about him, but I tell you a
statement which no prophet informed his nation of. You should
understand that he is a one-eyed man and Allah is not one-eyed."

`Umar bin Al-Khattab appointed a freed slave of his, called Hunai, manager of the Hima (i.e. a pasture
devoted for grazing the animals of the Zakat or other specified animals). He said to him, "O Hunai!
Don't oppress the Muslims and ward off their curse (invocations against you) for the invocation of the
oppressed is responded to (by Allah); and allow the shepherd having a few camels and those having a
few sheep (to graze their animals), and take care not to allow the livestock of `Abdur-Rahman bin
`Auf and the livestock of (`Uthman) bin `Affan, for if their livestock should perish, then they have
their farms and gardens, while those who own a few camels and those who own a few sheep, if their
livestock should perish, would bring their dependents to me and appeal for help saying, 'O chief of the
believers! O chief of the believers!' Would I then neglect them? (No, of course). So, I find it easier to
let them have water and grass rather than to give them gold and silver (from the Muslims' treasury).
By Allah, these people think that I have been unjust to them. This is their land, and during the prelslamic
period, they fought for it and they embraced Islam (willingly) while it was in their possession.
By Him in Whose Hand my life is! Were it not for the animals (in my custody) which I give to be
ridden for striving in Allah's Cause, I would not have turned even a span of their land into a Hima."
