22/1. Chapter:
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رضي الله عنها، أَجْلَى الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحِجَازِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا ظَهَرَ عَلَى خَيْبَرَ أَرَادَ إِخْرَاجَ الْيَهُودِ مِنْهَا، وَكَانَتِ الأَرْضُ حِينَ ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهَا للهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ ﷺ وَلِلْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَأَرَادَ إِخْرَاجَ الْيَهُودِ مِنْهَا، فَسَأَلَتِ الْيَهُودُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِيُقِرَّهُمْ بِهَا أَنْ يَكْفُوا عَمَلَهَا وَلَهمْ نِصْفُ الثَّمَرِ، ⦗١٤٤⦘ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: نُقِرُّكُمْ بِهَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَا شِئْنَا فَقَرُّوا بِهَا حَتَّى أَجْلَاهُمْ عُمَرُ إِلَى تَيْمَاءَ وَأَرِيحَاءَ.
'Umar رضي الله عنه expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijâz. When Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم had conquered Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allâh, His Messenger, and the Muslims. Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم intended to expel the Jews but they requested him to let them stay there on the condition that they would do the labour and get half of the produce (of the land they cultivate).Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم told them, "We will let you stay on this condition, as long as we wish." So, they (i.e. Jews) kept on living there until 'Umar forced them to go towards Taimâ' and Arîhâ'. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 531, Vol. 3)
حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَامَلَ خَيْبَرَ بِشَطْرِ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا مِنْ ثَمَرٍ أَوْ زَرْعٍ، فَكَانَ يُعْطِي أَزْوَاجَهُ مِائَةَ وَسْقٍ: ثَمَانُونَ وَسْقَ تَمْرٍ، وَعِشْرُونَ وَسْقَ شَعِيرٍ؛ فَقَسَمَ عُمَرُ خَيْبَرَ فَخَيَّرَ أَزْوَاجَ النَبِيِّ ﷺ أَنْ يُقْطِعَ لَهُنَّ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ أَوْ يُمْضِيَ لَهُنَّ، فَمِنْهُنَّ مَنِ اخْتَارَ الأَرْضَ وَمِنْهُنَّ مَنِ اخْتَارَ الْوَسْقَ، وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ اخْتَارَتِ الأَرْضَ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم concluded a contract with the people of Khaibar to utilize the land on the condition that half the produce of fruits or vegetation would be their share. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to give his wives one hundred Wasq each, eighty Wasq of dates and twenty Wasq of barley.(When 'Umar became the Caliph) he gave the wives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم the option of either having the land and water as their share or carrying on the previous practice. Some of them choose the land and some choose the Wasq, and 'Aisha رضي الله عنها choose the land. ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadith No. 521, Vol. 3)
22/2. Chapter:
حديث أَنَسٍ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا أَوْ يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ طَيْرٌ أَوْ إِنْسَانٌ أَوْ بَهِيمَةٌ إِلَاّ كَانَ لَهُ بِهِ صَدَقَةٌ.
There is none amongst the Muslims who plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal eats from it, but is regarded as an act of charity for him. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 513, Vol. 3)
22/3. Chapter:
حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، نَهى عَنْ بَيْعِ الثِّمَارِ حَتَّى تُزْهِيَ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: وَمَا تُزْهِيَ قَالَ: حَتَّى تَحْمَرَّ؛ فَقَالَ: أَرأَيْتَ إِذَا مَنَعَ اللهُ الثَّمَرَةَ بِمَ يَأْخُذُ أَحَدُكُمْ مَالَ أَخِيهِ.
Allâh's Messenger forbade the sale of fruits till they are almost ripe. He was asked what is meant by 'are almost ripe.' He replied, "Till they become red." Allâh's Messenger further said, "If Allâh spoiled the fruits, what right would one have to take the money of one's brother (i.e. other people)". ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 403-A, Vol. 3)
22/4. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَوْتَ خُصُومٍ بِالْبَابِ عَالِيَةٍ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا، وَإِذَا أَحَدُهُمَا يَسْتَوْضِعُ الآخَرَ وَيَسْتَرْفِقُهُ فِي شيْءٍ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: وَاللهِ لَا أَفْعَلُ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: أَيْنَ الْمُتَأَلِّي عَلَى اللهِ لَا يَفْعَلُ الْمَعْرُوفَ فَقَالَ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلَهُ أَيُّ ذَلِكَ أَحَبَّ.
Once Allâh's Messenger heard the loud voices of some opponents quarrelling at the door. One of them was appealing to the other to deduct his debt and asking him to be lenient but the other was saying, "By Allâh, I will not do so." Allâh's Messenger ﷺ went out to them and said, "Who is the one who was swearing by Allâh that he would not do a favour?" That man said, "I am that person, O Allâh's Messenger! I will give my opponent whatever he wishes." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 868, Vol. 3 )
حديث كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا حَتَّى كَشَفَ سِجْفَ حُجْرَتِهِ، فَنَادَى يَا كَعْبُ قَالَ: لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: ضَعْ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ هذَا وَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ، أَيِ الشَّطْرَ، قَالَ: لَقَدْ فَعَلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ: قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ.
In the mosque I asked Ibn Abî Hadrâd to pay the debts which he owed me, and our voices grew louder. Allâh's Messenger ﷺ heard that while he was in his house. He came to us raising the curtain of his room and said, "O Ka'b!" I replied, "Labbaik, O Allâh's Messenger!" He said, "O Ka'b! Reduce your debt to one-half," gesturing with his hand. I said, "O Allâh's Messenger! I have done so." Then Allâh's Messenger ﷺ said (to Ibn Abî Hadrâd), "Get up and pay the debt to him." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 447, Vol. 1 )
22/5. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ (أَوْ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ): مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مَالَهُ بِعَيْنِهِ عِنْدَ رَجُلٍ أَوْ إِنْسَانٍ قَدْ أَفْلَسَ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِهِ.
Allâh's Messenger ﷺ said, "If a man finds his very things with a bankrupt, he has more right to take them back than anyone else." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 587, Vol. 3 )
22/6. Chapter:
حديث حُذَيْفَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: تَلَقَّتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ رُوحَ رَجُلٍ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ، قَالُوا أَعَمِلْتَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: كُنْتُ آمُرُ فِتْيَانِي أَنْ يُنْظِرُوا وَيَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنِ الْمُوسِرِ، قَالَ: قَالَ فَتَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Before your time the angels took the soul of a man and asked him, 'Did you do any good deeds (in your life)?' He replied, 'I used to order my employees to grant time to the rich person to pay his debts at his convenience and excuse the one in hard circumstances.' So Allâh تعالى said to the angels; 'Excuse him.'" ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 291, Vol. 3 )
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: كَانَ تَاجِرٌ يُدَايِنُ النَّاسَ، فَإِذَا رَأَى مُعْسِرًا قَالَ لِفِتْيانِهِ تَجَاوَزُوا عَنْهُ، لَعَلَّ اللهَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ عَنَّا، فَتَجَاوَزَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "There was a merchant who used to lend the people, and whenever his debtor was in straitened circumstances, he would say to his employees, 'Forgive him so that Allâh تعالى may forgive us.' So, Allâh تعالى forgave him." ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 292, Vol. 3 )
22/7. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، قَالَ: مَطْلُ الْغَنِيِّ ظُلْمٌ، فَإِذَا أُتْبِعَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى مَلِيٍّ فَلْيَتَّبِعْ.
Narrated Abû Huraira رضي الله عنه : The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Procrastination (delay) in paying debts by a wealthy man is injustice. So, if your debt is transferred from your debtor to a rich debtor, you should agree.” [1] ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 486, Vol. 3)
[1] As the postponement of paying debts by a rich person is injustice, one should accept Hawâla upon that man, for one may be better able to collect the debt from the rich man than the transferor. Thus, by accepting the Hawâla one helps the rich man to avoid injustice. ( Fath Al-Bârî , Vol. 5, P. 271-2).
