49. Crimes
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً فَغَارَتْ عَلَى قَوْمٍ فَشَذَّ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ رَجُلٌ وَاتَّبَعَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ السَّرِيَّةِ وَمَعَهُ السَّيْفُ شَاهِرُهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي مُسْلِمٌ فَلَمْ يَنْظُرْ فِيمَا قَالَ فَضَرَبَهُ فَقَتَلَهُ قَالَ فَنُمِيَ الْحَدِيثُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ فِيهِ قَوْلًا شَدِيدًا فَبَلَغَ الْقَاتِلَ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ إِذْ قَالَ الْقَاتِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَ الَّذِي قَالَ إِلَّا تَعَوُّذًا مِنَ الْقَتْلِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَمَّنْ قِبَلَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَأَخَذَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ عَادَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا قَالَ الَّذِي قَالَ إِلَّا تَعَوُّذًا مِنَ الْقَتْلِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَمَّنْ قِبَلَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَلَمْ يَصْبِرْ أَنْ قَالَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ تُعْرَفُ الْمَسَاءَةُ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَليَّ أَنْ أَقْتُلَ مُؤْمِنًا» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent a small group to raid a tribe. One man from the tribe separated from the rest, and a man from the group followed him with his sword visible. The man said, "I am a Muslim," but the other man did not pay attention to what he said and struck him, killing him. The news was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said something severe about the incident. The killer approached and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I swear by Allah, he did not say anything except seeking protection from being killed." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him and everyone around him. He continued his sermon and then turned back to the man and said, "O Messenger of Allah, he did not say anything except seeking protection from being killed." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned away from him and everyone around him again. Unable to contain himself, the man said it a third time, and the anger on the Messenger's face became apparent. He said, "Allah has made it forbidden for me to kill a believer," repeating it three times.
وَقَفَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ وَأَمْسَكَ إِنْسَانٌ بِخِطَامِهِ أَوْ قَالَ بِزِمَامِهِ فَقَالَ «أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا»؟ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَيْسَ بِيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ»؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَأَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا»؟ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَيْسَ بِذِي الْحِجَّةِ»؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَأَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا»؟ فَسَكَتْنَا حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ سِوَى اسْمِهِ فَقَالَ «أَلَيْسَ الْبَلَدَ الْحَرَامَ»؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ حَرَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا أَلَا لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ مِنْكُمُ الْغَائِبَ فَإِنَّ الشَّاهِدَ عَسَى يُبَلِّغُ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْهُ»
✧ He halted his camel and a man held its nose-rein—or he said its halter—and he said: “Which day is this?” We remained silent until we thought he would call it by a name other than its own. Then he said: “Is it not the Day of Sacrifice?” We said: “Yes.” He said: “Which month is this?” We remained silent until we thought he would call it by a name other than its own. Then he said: “Is it not Dhu al-Hijjah?” We said: “Yes.” He said: “Which land is this?” We remained silent until we thought he would call it by a name other than its own. Then he said: “Is it not the Sacred Land?” We said: “Yes.” He said: “Your blood, your wealth, and your honor are sacred to one another, like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this month of yours, in this land of yours. Let those present among you convey to those absent, for the one present may convey to one who is more mindful than him.”
«إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ قَدِ اسْتَدَارَ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ السُّنَّةُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ثَلَاثٌ مُتَوَالِيَاتٌ ذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ وَالْمُحَرَّمُ وَرَجَبُ مُضَرَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ جُمَادَى وَشَعْبَانَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا»؟ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ ذَا الْحِجَّةِ؟ » قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟ » قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ ذَا الْبَلْدَةَ؟ » قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ «أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا»؟ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ؟ » قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا وَسَتَلْقَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ أَلَا فَلَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي ضُلَّالًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ أَلَا لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ مِنْكُمُ الْغَائِبَ فَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَ مَنْ يَبْلُغُهُ يَكُونُ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ» قَالَ فَكَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ إِذَا ذَكَرَهُ يَقُولُ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ قَدْ كَانَ ذَاكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ «أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ »
✧ On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, he said: “Indeed time has returned to its original state as it was on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth. The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive—Dhu al-Qa‘dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and al-Muharram—and Rajab of Mudar, which is between Jumada and Sha‘ban.” Then he said, “Which month is this?” We said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He fell silent until we thought he would name it by a name other than its own. He said, “Is it not Dhu al-Hijjah?” We said, “Yes.” He said, “Which land is this?” We said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He fell silent until we thought he would name it by a name other than its own. He said, “Is it not this town?” We said, “Yes.” He said, “Which day is this?” We said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said, “Is it not the Day of Sacrifice?” We said, “Yes.” He said, “Indeed your blood and your wealth”—Muhammad said, “and I think he said, ‘and your honor’”—“are sacred to you, like the sanctity of this day of yours in this land of yours. And you will meet your Lord, and He will ask you about your deeds. So do not return after me astray, striking the necks of one another. Let those of you who are present convey it to those who are absent, for perhaps some who receive it may understand it better than some who heard it.” He said: Muhammad would, whenever he mentioned it, say, “Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth; it was indeed so.” Then he ﷺ said, “Have I conveyed (the message)? Have I conveyed (the message)?”
«إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ قَدِ اسْتَدَارَ كَهَيْئَتِهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَالسُّنَّةُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ثَلَاثَةٌ مُتَوَالِيَاتٌ ذُو الْقَعْدَةِ وَذُو الْحِجَّةِ وَالْمُحَرَّمُ وَرَجَبُ مُضَرَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ جُمَادَى وَشَعْبَانَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيُّ شَهْرٍ هَذَا؟ » قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ ذَا الْحِجَّةِ» قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَأَيُّ بَلَدٍ هَذَا؟ » قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ الْبَلَدَ الْحَرَامَ؟ » قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَأَيُّ يَوْمٍ هَذَا؟ » قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ سَيُسَمِّيهِ بِغَيْرِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ؟ » قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ «فَإِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَأَمْوَالَكُمْ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَأَعْرَاضَكُمْ حَرَامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا وَسَتَلْقَوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ فَيَسْأَلُكُمْ عَنْ أَعْمَالِكُمْ فَلَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي ضُلَّالًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ أَلَا لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ فَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَ مَنْ يَبْلُغُهُ يَكُونُ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟ »
✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “Indeed, time has returned to its original state as it was on the day Allah created the heavens and the earth. The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive—Dhu al-Qa‘dah, Dhu al-Hijjah, and al-Muharram—and Rajab of (the tribe of) Mudar, which is between Jumada and Sha‘ban.” Then he said: “Which month is this?” We said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He remained silent until we thought he would call it by a name other than its own.

قَامَ مَقَامِي هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «وَالَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ رَجُلٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا فِي إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ التَّارِكُ الْإِسْلَامَ الْمُفَارِقُ لِلْجَمَاعَةِ وَالثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي وَالنَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ»
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in this place of mine and said: “By the One besides whom there is no god, the blood of a man who bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah is not lawful except in one of three cases: the one who abandons Islam and separates from the community, the previously married adulterer, and a life for a life.”
«لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ مُسْلِمٍ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ النَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي وَالتَّارِكُ لِدِينِهِ الْمُفَارِقُ لِلْجَمَاعَةِ»
✧ “The blood of a Muslim is not lawful except in one of three cases: a life for a life, the previously married adulterer, and the one who abandons his religion and separates from the community.”
«لَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ عَصَا أَخِيهِ بِغَيْرِ طِيبِ نَفْسٍ مِنْهُ» قَالَ ذَلِكَ لِشِدَّةِ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ مِنْ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ
✧ “It is not lawful for anyone to take his brother’s staff without his willing consent.” He said that because of the severity with which Allah forbade the wealth of a Muslim to another Muslim.
«لَا يَسْرِقُ السَّارِقُ حِينَ يَسْرِقُ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي حِينَ يَزْنِي وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ حِينَ يَشْرَبُهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ وَلَا يَنْتَهِبُ نُهْبَةً ذَاتَ شَرَفٍ يَرْفَعُ إِلَيْهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ أَعْيُنَهُمْ وَهُوَ حِينَ يَنْتَهِبُهَا مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَقْتُلُ أَحَدُكُمْ حِينَ يَقْتُلُ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَإِيَّاكُمْ إِيَّاكُمْ»
✧ “The thief does not steal when he steals while he is a believer; the adulterer does not commit adultery when he commits it while he is a believer; the wine-drinker does not drink wine when he drinks it while he is a believer—by the One in whose hand is Muhammad’s soul—and no one snatches a prized plunder toward which the believers raise their eyes while he is a believer when he snatches it; and none of you kills when he kills while he is a believer. Beware, beware!”
«كُلُّ ذَنْبٍ عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَغْفِرَهُ إِلَّا مَنْ مَاتَ مُشْرِكًا أَوْ مَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا»
✧ “Every sin Allah may forgive except one who dies as a polytheist or one who kills a believer intentionally.”
«إِذَا التَقَى المُسْلِمَان بِسَيْفَيْهِمَا فَقَتَلَ أَحَدُهُما صَاحِبَهُ فَالقَاتِلُ والمَقْتُولُ فِي النَّارِ»
"The Messenger [SAW] said: 'If two Muslims meet (and fight) with their swords and one of them kills the other, the killer and the slain will both be in Hell.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4121)
«أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَمِنَ رَجُلًا عَلَى دَمِهِ ثُمَّ قَتَلَهُ فَأَنَا مِنَ الْقَاتِلِ بَرِيءٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَقْتُولُ كَافِرًا»
✧ “Any man who grants security to another for his blood and then kills him, I am free of the killer even if the slain was a disbeliever.”
«مَا مِنْ نَفْسٍ تُقْتَلُ ظُلْمًا إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ الْأَوَّلِ كِفْلٌ مِنْ دَمِهَا لِأَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَنَّ الْقَتْلَ»
✧ “No soul is killed unjustly but that the first son of Adam bears a share of its blood, because he was the first to establish killing.”
«لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ سِرًّا فَإِنَّ قَتْلَ الْغَيْلِ يُدْرِكُ الْفَارِسَ فَيُدَعْثِرُهُ عَنْ فَرَسِهِ»
✧ “Do not kill your children secretly, for killing by ghīla overtakes the rider and throws him from his horse.”
«إِنِّي فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ وَإِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمُ الْأُمَمَ فَلَا تَقْتَتِلُنَّ بَعْدِي»
✧ “I am your forerunner at the Pool, and I shall vie with the nations through you, so do not fight one another after me.”
«مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِحَدِيدَةٍ فَحَدِيدَتُهُ فِي يَدِهِ يَجَأُ بِهَا فِي بَطْنِهِ يَهْوِي فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا وَمَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ بِسُمٍّ فَسُمُّهُ فِي يَدِهِ يَتَحَسَّاهُ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا وَمَنْ تَرَدَّى مِنْ جَبَلٍ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ فَهُوَ يَتَرَدَّى فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدًا مُخَلَّدًا فِيهَا أَبَدًا»
✧ “Whoever kills himself with an iron weapon, his iron will be in his hand, stabbing himself in his belly in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever, eternally. Whoever kills himself with poison, his poison will be in his hand, sipping it in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever, eternally. Whoever throws himself from a mountain intentionally and kills himself, he will be throwing himself down in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever, eternally.”
Sahih Ibn Hibban 5987Hasan sahih
«مَنْ خَنَقَ نَفْسَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَقَتَلَهَا خَنَقَ نَفْسَهُ فِي النَّارِ وَمَنْ طَعَنَ نَفْسَهُ طَعَنَهَا فِي النَّارِ وَمَنِ اقْتَحَمَ فَقَتَلَ نَفْسَهُ اقْتَحَمَ فِي النَّارِ»
✧ From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "Whoever suffocates himself in the world, he will suffocate himself in the Fire. And whoever stabs himself, he will be stabbed in the Fire. And whoever commits suicide, he will enter the Fire."
«خَرَجَ بِرَجُلٍ خُرَّاجٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَأَخَذَ سِكِّينًا فَوْجَأَ بِهَا فَمَا رَقَأَ الدَّمُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَبْدِي بَادَرَنِي بِنَفْسِهِ حَرَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ»
✧ A man among those before you developed an abscess. He took a knife and stabbed himself with it, and the blood did not stop flowing until he died. Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said: “My servant hastened his own death; I have forbidden Paradise to him.”
«إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ خَرَجَتْ بِهِ قُرْحَةٌ فَلَمَّا آذَتْهُ انْتَزَعَ سَهْمًا مِنْ كِنَانَتِهِ فَنَكَأَهَا فَلَمْ يَرْقَأْ دَمُهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَقَالَ رَبُّكُمْ قَدْ حَرَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ»
✧ A man from those before you had an ulcer break out on him, and when it pained him, he drew an arrow from his quiver and lanced it, and his blood did not stop until he died. Then your Lord said: "I have forbidden Paradise to him."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيِ النَّاسِ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُهُ أَنْ يُسَارَّهُ فَسَارَّهُ فِي قَتْلِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَجَهَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِكَلَامِهِ وَقَالَ «أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ؟ » قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا شَهَادَةَ لَهُ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ يَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ؟ » قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَا شَهَادَةَ لَهُ قَالَ «أَلَيْسَ يُصَلِّي؟ » قَالَ بَلَى وَلَا صَلَاةَ لَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ نُهِيتُ عَنْهُمْ»
✧ While the Prophet ﷺ was sitting among the people, a man came to him asking permission to speak with him privately. He spoke privately with him about killing a man from the hypocrites. The Prophet ﷺ raised his voice with his words and said: "Does he not testify that there is no god but Allah?" He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, but his testimony is nothing." He said: "Does he not testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah, but his testimony is nothing." He said: "Does he not pray?" He said: "Yes, but his prayer is nothing." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Those are the ones I was forbidden from."
«أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا قَتَلَ جَارِيَةً عَلَى أَوْضَاحٍ فَقَتَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ»
✧ A Jew killed a girl for her ornaments, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ killed him.
أَنَّ يَهُودِيًّا قَتَلَ جَارِيَةً عَلَى أَوْضَاحٍ لَهَا قَتَلَهَا بِحَجَرٍ قَالَ فَجِيءَ بِهَا وَبِهَا رَمَقٌ قَالَ لَهَا «أَقَتَلَكِ فُلَانٌ»؟ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ لَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا الثَّانِيَةَ فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ لَا ثُمَّ سَأَلَهَا الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ وَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا فَقَتَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ
✧ A Jew killed a girl for ornaments she had, killing her with a stone. He said: She was brought while still breathing. He said to her: "Did so-and-so kill you?" She gestured with her head: No. Then he asked her a second time, and she gestured with her head: No. Then he asked her a third time, and she said: Yes, and gestured with her head. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ killed him between two stones.

✧ A girl was found with her head crushed between two stones. They said to her: "Who did this to you? So-and-so? So-and-so?" until a Jewish man was mentioned, and she nodded with her head. The Jew was seized and he confessed. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded that his head be crushed with stones.

✧ I went with my father to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I saw him, my father said: "Who is this?" I said: "I don't know." He said: "This is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." I shuddered when he said that. I had thought that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not resemble people, but he had a lock of hair with a trace of henna on it, and he wore two green garments. My father greeted him, then he began to talk to us for a while. He said: "Is this your son?" He said: "Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah, I bear witness to it." He said: "Indeed, this son of yours will not commit a crime against you, nor will you commit a crime against him." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: {No bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another}. Then he looked at the swelling between his shoulders and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I am like the best of physicians. Shall I treat it?" He said: "Its physician is the One who created it."

✧ Khaza'ah were allies of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and Banu Bakr, a clan of Banu Kinanah, were allies of Abu Sufyan. He said: There was a truce between them during the days of al-Hudaybiyyah. Banu Bakr raided Khaza'ah during that period, so they sent to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking his aid. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to aid them in the month of Ramadan. He fasted until he reached Qudayd, then he broke his fast and said: "Let the people fast while traveling and break their fast. Whoever fasts, his fast suffices him, and whoever breaks his fast must make it up." Then Allah granted the conquest of Makkah. When he entered it, he leaned his back against the Ka'bah and said: "Withhold weapons except Khaza'ah against Bakr," until a man came and said: "O Messenger of Allah, a man was killed at al-Muzdalifah." He said: "This sanctuary is sacred by the command of Allah. It was not lawful for anyone before me, nor will it be lawful for anyone after me. It was made lawful for me only for one hour. It is not lawful for a Muslim to brandish a weapon in it, nor to cut its fresh herbage, nor to cut its trees, nor to startle its game." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, except idhkhir, for it is for our houses and our graves." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Except idhkhir. The most insolent of people against Allah are three: one who kills in Allah's sanctuary, or kills other than his killer, or kills for a Jahiliyyah vendetta." A man stood up and said: "O Prophet of Allah, I had intercourse with a slave girl of Banu so-and-so, and she bore me a child. Order that my child be returned to me." He ﷺ said: "He is not your child. This is not permissible in Islam. The one against whom claim is made is more entitled to the oath unless clear evidence is established. The child belongs to the owner of the bed, and for the fornicator is the athlab." A man said: "O Prophet of Allah, what is the athlab?" He said: "The stone. Whoever commits adultery with a woman he does not own or with the woman of another people and she gives birth, then the child is not his; he does not inherit nor is he inherited from. The believers are a hand against those besides them; their blood is equal. Their lowest may grant protection, and their farthest returns to them. A believer is not killed for a disbeliever, nor a person with a covenant while in his covenant. The people of two religions do not inherit from each other. A woman is not married to her paternal aunt or her maternal aunt. She does not travel three days without a mahram. Do not pray after dawn until the sun rises, and do not pray after 'asr until the sun sets."

✧ I went on the expedition of hardship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and it was the most reliable of my deeds in my own estimation. I had a hired man who fought with someone, and one of them bit the other, so he pulled out his finger, and his two front teeth fell out. He came to the Prophet ﷺ, and he declared his front teeth void. He said: I think Safwan said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Would he leave his hand in your mouth so you can bite it as a stallion bites?"

✧ A man bit another man's hand, and he pulled his hand away like this, drawing it from his mouth, and his two front teeth fell out. They brought their dispute to the Prophet ﷺ, and he ﷺ said: "Would one of you bite his brother as a stallion bites? There is no blood money for you."

✧ A man looked in from a hole in the door of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Messenger of Allah had an iron comb with which he was scratching his head.

✧ 'Abd Allah b. Sahl and Muhayyisa b. Mas'ud went to Khaybar for some need of theirs. They separated, and 'Abd Allah b. Sahl was killed. His brother 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl and his cousin Huwayyisa came to the Prophet ﷺ. He said: 'Abd al-Rahman spoke, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "The elder, the elder." So they both spoke about the matter of their companion. The Prophet ﷺ said: "You may establish your claim to your companion—or he said: your slain man—by fifty oaths from among you." They said: O Messenger of Allah, we did not witness it; how can we swear about it? He said: "Then the Jews will clear themselves with fifty oaths from among them."
