In the pre-lslamic period of ignorance the people used to bargain with the meat of camels on the
principle of Habal-al-Habala which meant the sale of a she-camel that would be born by a she-camel
that had not yet been born. The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade them such a transaction.

Abu Bakr had a slave who used to give him some of his earnings. Abu Bakr used to eat from it. One
day he brought something and Abu Bakr ate from it. The slave said to him, "Do you know what this
is?" Abu Bakr then enquired, "What is it?" The slave said, "Once, in the pre-Islamic period of
ignorance I foretold somebody's future though I did not know this knowledge of foretelling but I,
cheated him, and when he met me, he gave me something for that service, and that is what you have
eaten from." Then Abu Bakr put his hand in his mouth and vomited whatever was present in his
stomach.
