30/1. Chapter:
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا تَخْرِزَانِ فِي بَيْتٍ أَوْ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ، فَخَرَجَتْ إِحْداهُمَا وَقَدْ أُنْفِذَ بإِشْفًا فِي كَفِّهَا، فَادَّعَتْ عَلَى الأُخْرَى، فَرُفِعَ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قَالَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ: لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بدَعْوَاهُمْ لَذَهَبَ دِمَاءُ قَوْمٍ وَأَمْوَالُهُمْ ذَكِّرُوهَا بِاللهِ، وَاقْرَءُوا عَلَيْهَا (إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ) فَذَكَّرُوهَا فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: الْيَمِينُ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ.
Two women (who) were stitching shoes in a house fought each other. One of them came out with an awl driven into her hand, and she sued the other for it. The case was brought before Ibn ‘Abbâs. Ibn ‘Abbâs said, “Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ said, ‘If people were to be given what they claim (without proving their claim) the life and property of the nation would be lost.’ Will you remind her (i.e. the defendant), of Allâh and recite before her:‘Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allâh’s Covenant and their oaths...’ ” (V.3:77).So they reminded her and she confessed. Ibn ‘Abbâs then said, “The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘The oath is to be taken by the defendant (in the absence of any proof against him).’ ” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 74, Vol. 6 )
30/3. Chapter:
حديث أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجِ النَبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ خُصُومَةً بِبَابِ حُجْرَتِهِ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ، وَإِنَّه يَأْتِينِي الْخَصْمُ، ⦗١٩٣⦘ فَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَنْ يَكونَ أَبْلَغَ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، فَأَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ صَدَقَ فَأَقْضِيَ لَهُ بِذلِكَ؛ فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِحَقِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ فَلْيَأْخُذْهَا أَوْ فَلْيَتْرُكْهَا.
Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ heard some people quarrelling at the door of his dwelling. He came out and said, “I am only a human being, and opponents come to me (to settle their problems); may be someone amongst you can present his case more eloquently than the other, whereby I may consider him true and give a verdict in his favour. So, if I give the right of a Muslim to another by mistake, then it is only a portion of (Hell) Fire, he has the option to take or give up (before the Day of Resurrection).” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 638, Vol. 3 )
30/4. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ هِنْدَ بِنْتَ عُتْبَةَ، قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ، وَلَيْسَ يُعْطِينِي مَا يَكْفِينِي وَوَلَدِي، إِلَاّ مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ فَقَالَ: خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَوَلَدَكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ.
Hind bint ‘Utbah said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! Abû Sufyân is a miser and he does not give me what is sufficient for me and my children. Can I take of his property without his knowledge?” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Take what is sufficient for you and your children, and the amount should be just and reasonable.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 277, Vol. 7 )
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: جَاءَتْ هِنْدُ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ، قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَاءٍ، أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ، ثُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَهْلُ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبائِكَ، ⦗١٩٤⦘ قَالَ: وَأَيْضًا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِسِّيكٌ، فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ حَرَجٌ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ مِنَ الَّذِي لَهُ عِيَالَنَا قَالَ: لَا أُرَاهُ إِلَاّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ.
Hind bint ‘Utbah came and said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! (Before I embraced Islâm) there was no family on the surface of the earth I wished to see in degradation more than your family, but today there is no family on the surface of the earth I wish to see honoured more than I did yours.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “I thought similarly, by Him in Whose Hand my life is!”She further said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! Abû Sufyân is a miser, so is it sinful of me to feed my children from his property?” He said, “I do not allow it unless you take for your needs what is just and reasonable.” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 168 (C), Vol. 5 )
30/5. Chapter:
حديث الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: إِنَّ اللهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ عُقُوقَ الأُمَّهَاتِ، وَوَأْدَ الْبَنَاتِ، وَمَنعَ وَهَاتِ، وَكَرِهَ لَكُمْ قِيلَ وَقَالَ، وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ، وَإِضَاعَةَ الْمَالِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allâh has forbidden for you: (1) to be undutiful to your mothers, (2) to bury your daughters alive, (3) to not to pay the rights of the others (e.g. Zakât, charity etc.) and (4) to beg of men (i.e. begging). And Allâh has hated for your (1) Qîl and Qâl (sinful and useless talk like backbiting etc., or that you talk too much about others), (2) to ask too many questions (in disputed religious matters) etc. and (3) to waste the wealth (by extravagance with lack of wisdom and thinking etc.) ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 591, Vol. 3 )
30/6. Chapter:
حديث عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: إِذَا حَكَمَ الْحَاكِمُ فَاجْتَهَدَ ثُمَّ أَصَابَ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ، وَإِذَا حَكَمَ فَاجْتَهَدَ ثُمَّ أَخْطَأَ فَلَهُ أَجْرٌ.
Narrated 'Amr bin Al-'Âs رضي الله عنه that he heard Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "If a judge gives a verdict according to the best of his knowledge and his verdict is correct (i.e. agrees with Allâh and His Messenger's verdict) he will receive a double reward, and if he gives a verdict according to the best of his knowledge and his verdict is wrong (i.e. against that of Allâh and His Messenger's verdict) even then he will get a reward." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 450, Vol. 9)
30/7. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى ابْنِهِ، وَكَانَ بِسِجِسْتَانَ، بِأَنْ لَا تَقْضِيَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ غَضْبَانُ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَا يَقْضِيَنَّ حَكَمٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ.
Abî Bakra wrote to his son who was in Sijistan: Do not judge between two persons when you are angry, for I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "A judge should not judge between two persons when he is in an angry mood." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 272, Vol. 9)
30/8. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هذَا مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "If somebody innovates something which is not present in our religion (of Islâmic Monotheism) then that thing will be rejected." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 861, Vol. 3)
30/10. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: كَانَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مَعَهُمَا ابْنَاهُمَا، جَاءَ الذِّئْب فَذَهَبَ بِابْنِ إِحْدَاهُمَا، فَقَالَتْ صَاحِبَتُهَا إِنَّمَا ذَهَبَ بِابْنِكِ، وَقَالَتِ الأُخْرَى إِنَّمَا ذَهَبَ بِابْنِكِ؛ فَتَحَاكَمَتَا إِلَى دَاوُدَ، فَقَضى بِهِ لِلْكُبْرَى؛ فَخَرَجَتَا عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ، فَأَخْبَرَتَاهُ فَقَالَ: ائْتُونِي بِالسِّكِّينِ أَشُقُّهُ بَيْنَهُمَا، فَقَالَتِ الصُغْرَى: لَا تَفْعَلْ، يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ، هُوَ ابْنُهَا فَقَضى بِهِ لِلصُّغْرَى.
I heard Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "There were two women, each of whom had a child with her. A wolf came and took away the child of one of them, whereupon the other said, 'It has taken your child.' The first said, 'But it has taken your child.' So they both presented the case before (the Prophet) Dawûd (David) عليه السلام who judged that the living child be given to the elder lady.So both of them went to Sulaimân (Solomon) the son of Dawûd عليه السلام and informed him (of the case). He said, 'Bring me a knife so as to cut the child into two pieces and distribute it between them.' The younger lady said, 'May Allâh be Merciful to you! Don't do that, for it is her (i.e. the other lady's) child.' So he gave the child to the younger lady." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 637-B, Vol. 4 )
30/11. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: اشْتَرَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ رَجُلٍ عَقَارًا لَهُ، فَوَجَدَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي اشْتَرَى الْعَقَارَ فِي عَقَارِهِ جَرَّةً فِيهَا ذَهَبٌ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الَّذِي اشْتَرَى الْعَقَارَ: خذْ ذَهَبَكَ مِنِّي، إِنَّمَا اشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْكَ الأَرْضَ وَلَمْ أَبْتَعْ مِنْكَ الذَّهَبَ وَقَالَ الَّذِي لَهُ الأَرْضُ: إِنَّمَا بِعْتُكَ الأَرْضَ وَمَا فِيهَا؛ فَتَحَاكَمَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ فَقَالَ الَّذِي تَحَاكَمَا إِلَيْهِ: أَلَكُمَا وَلَدٌ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: لِي غُلَامٌ، وَقَالَ الآخَرُ: لِي جَارِيَةٌ؛ قَالَ: أَنْكِحُوا الْغُلَامَ الْجَارِيَةَ، وَأَنْفِقُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمَا مِنْهُ وَتَصَدَّقَا.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "A man bought a piece of land from another man, and the buyer found an earthenware jar filled with gold in the land. The buyer said to the seller, 'Take your gold, as I have bought only the land from you, but I have not bought the gold from you.' The (former) owner of the land said, 'I have sold you the land with everything in it.'So both of them took their case before a man who asked, 'Do you have children.' One of them said, 'I have a boy.' The other said, 'I have a girl.' The man said, 'Marry the girl to the boy and spend the money on both of them and give the rest of it in charity.'" ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 678, Vol. 4 )
