allegiance to me that you will not worship anything besides Allah, Will not steal, and will not

The Prophet added, 'And whoever among you fulfills his pledge, his reward is with Allah; and

whoever commits something of such sins and receives the legal punishment for it, that will be



3

screens him, it is up to Allah whether to excuse or punish him."

(Mecca)." He said, "Which day do you think is the most sacred?" The people said, "This day of

ours." He then said, "Allah, the Blessed, the Supreme, has made your blood, your property and

your honor as sacred as this day of yours in this town of yours, in this month of yours (and such

protection cannot be slighted) except rightfully." He then said thrice, "Have I conveyed Allah's

Message (to you)?" The people answered him each time saying, 'Yes." The Prophet added, 'May

Allah be merciful to you (or, woe on you)! Do not revert to disbelief after me by cutting the

necks of each other.'

select the easier of the tow as long as it was not sinful; but if it was sinful, he would remain far

him, but when Allah's Limits were transgressed, he would take revenge for Allah's Sake.

778

Narrated 'Aisha: Usama approached the Prophet on behalf of a woman (who had committed

theft). The Prophet said, "The people before you were destroyed because they used to inflict the

(the daughter of the Prophet ) did that (i.e. stole), I would cut off her hand."

779

Narrated 'Aisha: The Quraish people became very worried about the Makhzumiya lady who had

committed theft. They said, "Nobody can speak (in favor of the lady) to Allah's Apostle and

nobody dares do that except Usama who is the favorite of Allah's Apostle. " When Usama spoke

to Allah's Apostle about that matter, Allah's Apostle said, "Do you intercede (with me) to violate

one of the legal punishment of Allah?" Then he got up and addressed the people, saying, "O

people! The nations before you went astray because if a noble person committed theft, they used

to leave him, but if a weak person among them committed theft, they used to inflict the legal

punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad committed theft,

Muhammad will cut off her hand.!"

her? They said: Who dare it, but Usama, the loved one of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him)? So Usama spoke to him. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Do

you intercede regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah? He then stood up and

addressed (people) saying: O people, those who have gone before you were destroyed, because if

any one of high rank committed theft amongst them, they spared him; and it anyone of low rank

committed theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment upon him. By Allah, if Fatima,

daughter of Muhammad, were to steal, I would have her hand cut off. In the hadith transmitted

to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about her? They (again) said: Who can dare do

this but Usama b Zaid, the loved one of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)? She was

brought to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and Usama b. Zaid spoke about her to

him (interceded on her behalf). The colour of the face of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) changed, and he said: Do you intercede in one of the prescribed punishments of Allah? He

(Usama) said: 'Messenger of Allah, seek forgiveness for me. When it was dusk. Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) stood up and gave an address. He (first) glorified Allah as

He deserves, and then said: Now to our topic. This (injustice) destroyed those before you that

when any one of (high) rank committed theft among them, they spared him, and when any weak

one among them committed theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment upon him. By Him in



6

Whose Hand is my life, even if Fatima daughter of Muhammad were to commit theft, I would

have cut off her hand. He (the Holy Prophet) then commanded about that woman who had

committed theft, and her hand was cut off. 'A'isha (further) said: Hers was a good respentance,

and she later on married and used to come to me after that, and I conveyed her needs (and

problems) to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).

4189

'A'isha reported that a woman from the tribe of Makhzum used to borrow things (from people)

and then denied (having taken them). Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) commanded her

intercede on her behalf). He spoke to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) about her. The

rest of the hadith is the same.

thus her hand was cut off.

4191

'Ubada b. as-Samit reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Receive(teaching) from me, receive (teaching) from me. Allah has ordained a way for those (women).

When an unmarried male commits adultery with an unmarried female (they should receive) one

hundred lashes and banishment for one year. And in case of married male committing adultery

with a married female, they shall receive one hundred lashes and be stoned to death.

4192

revelation, he felt its rigour and the complexion of his face changed. One day revelation

descended upon him, he felt the same rigour. When it was over and he felt relief, he said: Take

from me. Verily Allah has ordained a way for them (the women who commit fornication),:

(When) a married man (commits adultery) with a married woman, and an unmarried male with

an unmarried woman, then in case of married (persons) there is (a punishment) of one hundred

lashes and then stoning (to death). And in case of unmarried persons, (the punishment) is one

hundred lashes and exile for one year.

4194

'Abdullah b. 'Abbas reported that 'Umar b. Khattab sat on the pulpit of Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him) and said: Verily Allah sent Muhammad (may peace be upon him) with truth

and He sent down the Book upon him, and the verse of stoning was included in what was sent

down to him. We recited it, retained it in our memory and understood it. Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him) awarded the punishment of stoning to death (to the married adulterer and

adulteress) and, after him, we also awarded the punishment of stoning, I am afraid that with the

lapse of time, the people (may forget it) and may say: We do not find the punishment of stoning

in the Book of Allah, and thus go astray by abandoning this duty prescribed by Allah. Stoning is

a duty laid down in Allah's Book for married men and women who commit adultery when proofis established, or it there is pregnancy, or a confession.

4195

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zuhri with the same chain of transmitters.

facing him and said to him: Allah's Messenger, I have committed adultery. He (the Holy

Prophet) turned away until he did that four times, and as he testified four times against his own

self, Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) called him and said: Are you mad? He said:

No. He (again) said: Are you married? He said: Yes. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace

be upon him) said: Take him and stone him. Ibn Shihab (one of the narrators) said: One who had

heard Jabir b. 'Abdullah saying this informed me thus: I was one of those who stoned him. We

stoned him at the place of prayer (either that of 'Id or a funeral). When the stones hurt him, he ran

away. We caught him in the Harra and stoned him (to death). This hadith has been narrated

through another chain of transmitters.

4197

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira through other chains of

transmitters.

4198

Jabir b. Samura reported: As he was being brought to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) Isaw Ma'iz b. Malik-a short-statured person with strong sinews, having no cloak around him. He

bore witness against his own self four times that he had committed adultery, whereupon Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Perhaps (you kissed her or embraced her). He said:

No. by God, one deviating (from the path of virtue) has committed adultery. He then got him

stoned (to death), and then delivered the address: Behold, as we set out for Jihad in the cause of

Allah, one of you lagged behind and shrieked like the bleating of a male goat, and gave a small



8

quantity of milk. By Allah, in case I get hold of him, I shall certainly punish him.

4199

Jabir b. Samura reported that there was brought to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)

a short-statured person with thick uncombed hair, muscular body, having a mantle around him

and he had committed adultery. He turned him away twice and then made pronouncement about

him and he was stoned. Then Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: We set out for

Jihad in the cause of Allah and one of you lagged behind and shrieked like the bleating of a male

goat and one of then (goats' gave a small quantity of milk. In case Allah gives me power over

one of them, I will punish him (in such a way that it may have a deterrent effect upon others). In

another narration transmitted on the authority of Sa'id b Jubair (the words are), that He (the Holy

Prophet) turned him away four times."

4200

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir b. Samura through another chain of

transmitters with the difference that along with the mentioning (of the fact) that he (the Holy

Prophet) turned him away twice, or thrice.

4201

Ibn Abbas reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said to Ma'iz b. Malik: Is it

true what has reached me about you? He said: What has reached you about me? He said: It has

reached me that you have committed (adultery) with the slave-girl of so and so? He said: Yes. He(the narrator) said: He testified four times. He (the Holy Prophet) then made pronouncement

about him and he was stoned (to death).

4202

Abu Sa'id reported that a person belonging to the clan of Aslam, who was called Ma, iz b.

Malik, came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: I have committed

immorality (adultery), so inflict punishment upon me. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)

turned him away again and again. He then asked his people (about the state of his mind). They

said: We do not know of any ailment of his except that he has committed something about which

he thinks that he would not be able to relieve himself of its burden but with the Hadd being

imposed upon him. He (Ma'iz) came back to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and he

commanded us to stone him. We took him to the Baqi' al-Gharqad (the graveyard of Medina).

We neither tied him nor dug any ditch for him. We attacked him with bones, with clods and

pebbles. He ran away and we ran after him until he came upon the ston ground (al-Harra) and

stopped there and we stoned him with heavy stones of the Harra until he became motionless (lie

died). He (the Holy Prophet) then addressed (us) in the evening saying Whenever we set forth on

an expedition in the cause of Allah, some one of those connected with us shrieked (under the

pressure of sexual lust) as the bleating of a male goat. It is essential that if a person havingcommitted such a deed is brought to me, I should punish him. He neither begged forgiveness for

him nor cursed him.

4202

Abu Sa'id reported that a person belonging to the clan of Aslam, who was called Ma, iz b.



9

Malik, came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: I have committed

immorality (adultery), so inflict punishment upon me. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)

turned him away again and again. He then asked his people (about the state of his mind). They

said: We do not know of any ailment of his except that he has committed something about which

he thinks that he would not be able to relieve himself of its burden but with the Hadd being

imposed upon him. He (Ma'iz) came back to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and he

commanded us to stone him. We took him to the Baqi' al-Gharqad (the graveyard of Medina).

We neither tied him nor dug any ditch for him. We attacked him with bones, with clods and

pebbles. He ran away and we ran after him until he came upon the ston ground (al-Harra) and

stopped there and we stoned him with heavy stones of the Harra until he became motionless (lie

died). He (the Holy Prophet) then addressed (us) in the evening saying Whenever we set forth on

an expedition in the cause of Allah, some one of those connected with us shrieked (under the

pressure of sexual lust) as the bleating of a male goat. It is essential that if a person having

committed such a deed is brought to me, I should punish him. He neither begged forgiveness for

him nor cursed him.

4203

Dawud narrated the hadith with the same chain of transmitters (and the words are): Allah's

Apostle (may peace be upon him) stood tip (to address the audience) in the evening and praised

Allah, glorified Him and then said: What about the people, that as we set out on an expedition,

one of you remained behind us and he shrieked like the bleating of a male goat? But he did not

mention (these words): People connected with us."

4204

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Dawud with the same chain of transmitters but

with this variation that in the hadith narrated by Sufyan (the words are):" He made a confession

of having committed adultery, thrice."

4205

Sulaiman b. Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Ma, iz b. Malik came to Allah's

Apostle (may peace be upon him) and said to him: Messenger of Allah, purify me, whereupon he

said: Woe be upon you, go back, ask forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance. He (the

narrator) said that he went back not far, then came and said: Allah's Messenger, purify me.

whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Woe be upon you, go back and ask

forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance. He (the narrator) said that he went back not

far, when he came and said: Allah's Messenger, purify me. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon

him) said as he had said before. When it was the fourth time, Allah's Messenger (may, peace be

upon him) said: From what am I to purify you? He said: From adultery, Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him) asked if he had been mad. He was informed that he was not mad. He said:

Has he drunk wine? A person stood up and smelt his breath but noticed no smell of wine.

Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Have you committed adultery? Hesaid: Yes. He made pronouncement about him and he was stoned to death. The people had been

(divided) into two groups about him (Ma'iz). One of them said: He has been undone for his sins

had encompassed him, whereas another said: There is no repentance more excellent than the

repentance of Ma'iz, for he came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and placing his

hand in his (in the Holy Prophet's) hand said: Kill me with stones. (This controversy about Ma'iz)

remained for two or three days. Then came Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) to them



10

(his Companions) as they were sitting. He greeted them with salutation and then sat down and

said: Ask forgiveness for Ma'iz b. Malik. They said: May Allah forgive Ma'iz b. Malik.

Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He (Ma'iz) has made such a

repentance that if that were to be divided among a people, it would have been enough for all of

them. He (the narrator) said: Then a woman of Ghamid, a branch of Azd, came to him and said:

Messenger of of Allah, purify me, whereupon he said: Woe be upon you; go back and beg

forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance. She said: I find that you intend to send me

back as you sent back Ma'iz. b. Malik. He (the Holy, Prophet) said: What has happened to you?

She said that she had become pregnant as a result of fornication. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Is it

you (who has done that)? She said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said to her: (You will not be

punished) until you deliver what is there in your womb. One of the Ansar became responsible for

her until she was delivered (of the child). He (that Ansari) came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be

upon him) and said the woman of Ghamid has given birth to a child. He (the Holy Prophet) said:

In that case we shall not stone her and so leave her infant with none to suckle him. One of the

Ansar got up and said: Allah's Apostle, let the responsibility of his suckling be upon me. She wasthen stoned to death.

4206

'Abdullah b. Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Ma'iz b. Malik al-Aslami came

to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Allah's Messenger, I have wronged

myself; I have committed adultery and I earnestly desire that you should purify me. He turned

him away. On the following day, he (Ma'iz) again came to him and said: Allah's Messenger, I

have committed adultery. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) turned him away for the

second time, and sent him to his people saying: Do you know if there is anything wrong with hismind. They denied of any such thing in him and said: We do not know him but as a wise good

man among us, so far as we can judge. He (Ma'iz) came for the third time, and he (the Holy

Prophet) sent him as he had done before. He asked about him and they informed him that there

was nothing wrong with him or with his mind. When it was the fourth time, a ditch was dug for

him and he (the Holy Prophet) pronounced judgment about him and he wis stoned. He (the

narrator) said: There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a woman from Ghamid and said: Allah's

Messenger, I have committed adultery, so purify me. He (the Holy Prophet) turned her away. On

the following day she said: Allah's Messenger, Why do you turn me away? Perhaps, you turn me

away as you turned away Ma'iz. By Allah, I have become pregnant. He said: Well, if you insist

upon it, then go away until you give birth to (the child). When she was delivered she came with

the child (wrapped) in a rag and said: Here is the child whom I have given birth to. He said: Go

away and suckle him until you wean him. When she had weaned him, she came to him (the Holy

Prophet) with the child who was holding a piece of bread in his hand. She said: Allah's Apostle,

here is he as I have weaned him and he eats food. He (the Holy Prophet) entrusted the child to

one of the Muslims and then pronounced punishment. And she was put in a ditch up to her chest

and he commanded people and they stoned her. Khalid b Walid came forward with a stone which

he flung at her head and there spurted blood on the face of Khalid and so he abused her. Allah's

Apostle (may peace be upon him) heard his (Khalid's) curse that he had huried upon her.

Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Khalid, be gentle. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, shehas made such a repentance that even if a wrongful tax-collector were to repent, he would have

been forgiven. Then giving command regarding her, he prayed over her and she was buried.

4207

Imran b. Husain reported that a woman from Juhaina came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be



11

upon him) and she had become pregnant because of adultery. She said: Allah's Apostle, I have

done something for which (prescribed punishment) must be imposed upon me, so impose that.

Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) called her master and said: Treat her well, and when

she delivers bring her to me. He did accordingly. Then Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)

pronounced judgment about her and her clothes were tied around her and then he commanded

and she was stoned to death. He then prayed over her (dead body). Thereupon Umar said to him:

Allah's Apostle, you offer prayer for her, whereas she had committed adultery! Thereupon he

said: She has made such a repentance that if it were to be divided among seventy men of Medina,

it would be enough. Have you found any repentance better than this that she sacr ficed her life

for Allah, the Majestic?

Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah, I beg of you in the name of

Allah that you pronounce judgment about me according to the Book of Allah. The second

claimant who was wiser than him said: Well, decide amongst us according to the Book of Allah,

but permit me (to say something). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon ham) said:

Say. He said: My son was a servant in the house of this person and he committed adultery with

his wife. I was informed that my son deserved stoning to death (as punishment for this offence). I

gave one hundred goats and a slave girl as ransom for this. I asked the scholars (if this couldserve as an expiation for this offence). They informed me that my son deserved one hundred

lathes and exile for one year. and this woman deserved stoning (as she was married). Thereupon

Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life. I will

decide between you according to the Book of Allah. The slave-girl and the goats should be given

back, and your son is to be punished with one hundred lashes and exile for one year. And, O

Unais (b. Zuhaq al-Aslami), go to this woman in the morning, and if she makes a confession,

then stone her. He (the narrator) said: He went to her in the morning and she made a confession.

And Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) made pronouncement about her and she was

stoned to death.

direction (and their backs touching each other), and then they are taken round (the city). He said:

Bring Torah if you are truthful. They brought it and recited it until when they came to the verse

pertaining to stoning, the person who was reading placed his hand on the verse pertaining to

stoning, and read (only that which was) between his hands and what was subsequent to that.

Al-Bara' b. 'Azib reported: There happened to pass by Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)a Jew blackened and lashed. Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) called them (the Jews)

and said: Is this the punishment that you find in your Book (Torah) as a prescribed punishment

for adultery? They said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) called one of the scholars amongst them and

said: I ask you in the name of Allah Who sent down the Torah on Moses if that is the prescribed

punishment for adultery that you find in your Book. He said: No. Had you not asked me in the

name of Allah, I would not have given you this information. We find stoning to death (as

punishment prescribed in the Torah). But this (crime) became quite common amongst our

aristocratic class. So when we caught hold of any rich person (indulging in this offence) we

spared him, but when we caught hold of a helpless person we imposed the prescribed punishment

upon him. We then said: Let us argree (on a punishment) which we can inflict both upon the rich

and the poor. So We decided to blacken the face with coal and flog as a substitute punishment

for stoning. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: O Allah, I am the first

to revive Thy command when they had made it dead. He then commanded and he (the offender)

was stoned to death. Allah, the Majestic and Glorious, sent down (this verse):" O Messenger,

(the behaviour of) those who vie with one another in denying the truth should not grieve you..."



13

up to" is vouchsafed unto you, accept it" (v. 41) 2176 It was said (by the Jews): Go to

Muhammad; it he commands you to blacken the face and award flogging (as punishment for

adultery), then accept it, but it he gives verdict for stoning, then avoid it. It was (then) that Allah,

the Majestic and Great, sent down (these verses):" And they who do not judge in accordance

with what Allah has revealed are, indeed, deniers of the truth" (v. 44) ;" And they who do not

judge in accordance with what Allah has revealed-they, they indeed are the wrongdoers" (v. 45)

;" And they who do not judge in accordance with what God has revealed-they are the iniquitous

(v. 47). (All these verses) were revealed in connection with the non-believers.

4215

adultery again, she should (again be punished) by flogging, but hurl no reproach upon her. It she

commits fornication for the third time. and it becomes clear, then he should sell her, even if only

a rope. Ibn Shihab said: I do not know whether he said this (his statement pertaining to the sale

stripes.

two men bore witness against him. One of them was Humran who said that he had drunk wine.

The second one gave witness that he had seen him vomiting. Uthman said: He would not have

vomited (wine) unless he had drunk it. He said: 'Ali, stand up and lash him. 'Ali said: Hasan,

stand up and lash him. Thereupon Hasan said: Let him suffer the heat (of Caliphate) who has

enjoyed its coolness. ('Ali felt annoyed at this remark) and he said: 'Abdullah b. Ja'far, stand up

and flog him, and he began to flog him and 'Ali counted the stripes until these were forty. He(Hadrat 'Ali) said: Stop now, and then said: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) gave forty

stripes, and Abu Bakr also gave forty stripes, and Umar gave eighty stripes, and all these fall

under the category of the Sunnab, but this one (forty stripes) is dearer to me.

4232

forbidden by Allah to take but with (legal) justification; and whoever among you fulfils it, his



16

reward is with Allah and he who commits any such thing and is punished for it, that will be all

us as he took from the women that we will not associate anything with Allah and we will not

steal, and we will not commit adultery, and we will not kill our children, and we will not bringcalumny upon one another. And he who amongst you fulfils (this pledge), his reward rests with

Allah, and he upon whom amongst you is imposed the prescribed punishment and that is carried

out, that is his expiation (for that sin), and he whose (sins) were covered by Allah, his matter

rests with Allah. He may punish him if He likes or may forgive him if He so likes.

4238

Ubida b. as-Samit repnrted: I was one of those headmen who swore allegiance to Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) that we will not associate anything with Allah, and will not

commit adultery, and will not steal, and will not kill any soul which Allah has forbidden, butwith justice nor plunder, nor disobey (Allah and His Apostle), then Paradise (will be the reward)

Murders, Fighting, Requital and Blood-Wit (Kitab Al-Kitab Al-Qasama wal-Muharaba

wal-Qisas wal-Diyat)' of Sahih Muslim. 4119

Sahl b. Abu Hathma and Rafi' b. Khadij reported that 'Abdullah b. Sahl b. Zaid and Muhayyisa

b. Mas'ud b. Zaid went out and as they reached Khaibar they were separated. Then Muhayyisa

found 'Abdullah b. Sahl having been killed. He buried him, and then came to Allah's Messenger

(may peace be upon him). They were Huwayyisa b. Mas'ud and 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl, and he

(the latter one) was the youngest of the people (those three who had come to seek an interview

with the Holy Prophet) began to talk before his Companions (had spoken). Thereupon Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The eldest one (eldest in regard to age should speak).

So he kept quiet, and his companions (Muhayyisa and Huwayyisa) began to speak, and he ('Abd

al Rahman) spoke along with them and they narrated to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) the murder of 'Abdullah b. Sahl. Thereupon he said to them: Are you prepared to take fifty

oaths so that you may be entitled (to blood-wit) of your companion (or your man who has

murdered)? They said: How can we take an oath on a matter which we have not witnessed? He

(the Holy Prophet) said: Then the Jews will exonerate themselves by fifty oaths. They said: How

can we accept the oaths of people who are unbelievers? When Allah's Messenger (may peace be

upon him) saw that, he himself paid his blood-wit.

4120

Sahl. b. Abu Hathma and Rafi' b. Khadij reported that Muhayyisa b. Mas'ud and 'Abdullah b.

Sahl went towards Khaibar and they separated near the palm-trees. 'Abdullah b. Sahl was killed.

They accused the Jews (for this act). And there came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)

his brother (the brother of the slain person) 'Abd al-Rahman and his cousins Huwayyisa and

Muhayyisa; and 'Abd al-Rahman talked to him about the matter pertaining to (the murder of) his

brother, and he was the youngest among them. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be

upon him) said: Show regard for the greatness of the old, or he said: Let the eldest begin

speaking. Then they (Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa) spoke about the matter of their companion

(murder of their cousin, 'Abdullah b. Sahl). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon

him) said: Let fifty (persons) among you take oath for levelling the charge (of murder) against a person amongst them, and he would be surrendered to you. They said: We have not witnessed

this matter ourselves. How can we then take oath? He (the Holy Prophet) said: The Jews will

exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah, they are non-

believing people. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) paid the blood wit for

him. Sahl said: As one day I entered the fold a she-camel amongst those camels hit me with its

leg.

of them were Ansar belonging to the tribe of Banu Haritha, set out to Khaibar during the lifetime

of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). There was peace during those days and (this

place) was inhabited by the Jews. They parted company for their (respective) needs. 'Abdullab b.

Sahl was killed, and his dead body was found in a tank. His companion (Muhayyisa) buried him

and came to Medina, and the brothers of the slain 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl. and Muhayyisa and

Huwayyisa told Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) the case of 'Abdullah and the place

where he had been murdered. Bushair reported on the authority of one who had seen Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) that he had said to them: You take fifty oaths and you are

entitled to blood-wit of (one) slain among you (or your companion). They said: Messenger of

Allah, we neither saw (with our own eyes this murder) nor were we present there. Thereupon(Allah's Messenger is reported to have said): Then the Jews will exonerate themselves by taking

fifty oaths. They said: Allah's Messenger, how can we accept the oath of unbelieving people?

Bushair said that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) paid the blood-wit himself.

Messenger (may peace be him) did not approve of his blood go waste. He paid blood-wit of one

hundred camels of Sadaqa.

Abu Laila 'Abdullah b. 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl reported that the elderly persons of (the tribe)

had informed Sahl b. Abu Hathma that 'Abdullah b. Sahl and Muhayyisa went out to Khaibar

under some distress which had afflicted them. Muhayyisa came and informed that Abdutlah b.

Sahl had been killed, and (his dead body) had been thrown in a well or in a ditch. He came to the

Jews and said: By Allah, it is you who have killed him. They said: By Allah, we have not killed

him. He then came to his people, and made mention of that to them. Then came he and his brother Huwayyisa, and he was older than he, and 'Abd al-Rahman b. Sahl. Then Muhayyisa

went to speak, and it was he who had accompanied ('Abdullah) to Khaibar, whereupon Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to Muhayyisa: Observe greatness of the great (he

meant the seniority of age). Then Huwayyisa spoke and then Muhayyisa also spoke. Thereupon

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: They should either pay blood-wit for your

companion, or be prepared for war. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) wrote about it



19

to them (to the Jews). They wrote: Verily, by Allah, we have not killed him. Thereupon Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa and Abd al-Rahman:

Are you prepared to take oath in order to entitle yourselves for the blood-wit of your companion?

They said: No. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then the Jews will take oath (of their innocence).

They said: They are not Muslims. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), however, himself

paid the blood-wit to them and sent to them one hundred camels until they entered into their

houses, Sahl said: One red she-camel among them kicked me.

Sadaqa and drink their milk and urine. They did so and were all right. They then fell upon the

shepherds and killed them and turned apostates from Islam and drove off the camels of the

Prophet (may peace be upon him). This news reached Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)and he sent (people) on their track and they were (brought) and handed over to him. He (the Holy

Prophet) got their hands cut off, and their feet, and put out their eyes, and threw them on the

health and thus they became sick, and they made complaint of that to Allah's Messenger (may

peace be upon him), and he said: Why don't you go to (the fold) of our camels along with our

shepherd, and make use of their milk and urine. They said: Yes. They set out and drank their

(camels') milk and urine and regained their health. They killed the shepherd and drove away the

camels. This (news) reached Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and he sent them on

their track and they were caught and brought to him (the Holy Prophet). He commanded about

them, and (thus) their hands and feet were cut off and their eyes were gouged and then they were

to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), and the rest of the hadith is the same. When I (Abu

Qilaba) finished (the narration of this hadith), 'Anbasa said: Hallowed be Allah. I said: Do you

'Imran b. Husain reported that a person bit the arm of another person; he pulled it out and his

foretooth fell down. This matter was taken to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), and he

turned it down saying: Did you want to eat his flesh?

4146

Safwan b. Ya'la reported that a person bit the arm of the servant of Ya'la b. Munya. He pulled it

and his foretooth fell. The matter was referred to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and

he turned it down and said: Did you intend to bite his hand, as the camel bites?

4147

'Imran b. Husain reported that a person bit the hand of a person. He withdrew his hand and his

foretooth or foreteeth fell down. He (the man who lost his teeth) referred the matter to Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) and he said, What do you want me to do? Do you ask me

that I should order him to put his hand in your month, and you should bite it as the camel bites?

(If you want retaliation, then the only way out is) that you put your hand in his mouth (allow

him) to bite that and then draw it away.

4148

Safwan b. Ya'la b. Munya reported on the authority of his father that there came to Allah's

Apostle (may peace be upon him) a person who had bitten the hand of another person and who

had withdrawn his hand (and as a result thereof) his foreteeth had fallen (those which had bitten).

The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) turned down his (claim), and said: Do you wish

to bite as the camel bites?

4149

Safwan b. Ya'la b. Umayya thus reported from his father: I participated in the expedition toTabuk with Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him). And Ya'la used to say: That was the most

weighty of my deeds, in my opinion. Safwan said that Ya'la had stated: I had a servant; he

quarrelled with another person, and the one bit the hand of the other. ('Ata' said that Safwan had

told him which one had bitten the hand of the other.) So he whose hand was bitten drew ill from

(the mouth) of the one who had bitten it and (in this scuffle) one of his foreteeth was also drawn

out. They both came to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and he declared his (claim for

the compensation of) tooth as invalid.

Anas reported that Umm Haritha, the sister of Rubayyi' (she was the father's sister of Hadrat

Anas) injured a person (she broke his teeth). The dispute was referred to Allah's Apostle (may

peace be upon him). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Retribution, retribution.

Umm Rubayyi' said: Messenger of Allah, will retribution be taken from so and so? By Allah, it

shall not be taken from her (i. e. from Umm Haritha). Thereupon Allah's Apostle said: Hallowed

be Allah. O Umm Rubayyi', Qisas (retribution is a command, prescribed) in the Book of Allah.

She said: No, by Allah, Qisas will never be taken from her; and she went on saying this until

they (the relatives of the one who had been injured) accepted the blood-wit. Thereupon Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Verily there are amongst the servants of Allah (such

pious persons) who, if they take oath of Allah, He honours it.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: It is not

permissible to take the life of a Muslim who bears testimony (to the fact that there is no god but

Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, but in one of the three cases: the married adulterer, a life

for life, and the deserter of his Din (Islam), abandoning the community.

By Him besides Whom there is no god but He, the blood of a Muslim who bears the testimonythat there is no god but Allah, and I am His Messenger, may be lawfully shed only in case of

three persons: the one who abandons Islam, and deserts the community [Ahmad, one of the

narrators, is doubtful whether the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) used the word li'l-

jama'ah or al-jama'ah), and the married adulterer, and life for life.

Abu Bakra reported that (in the Farewell Address) Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him)

said: Time has completed a cycle and come to the state of the day when Allah created the

heavens and the earth. The year is constituted of twelve months, of which four are sacred; three



24

of them consecutive, viz. Dhu'l-Qa'da, Dhu'l- Hijja and Muharram, and also Rajab the month of

Mudar which comes between Jumada and Sha'ban. He (the Holy Prophet) then said: which

month is this? We said Allah and His Messenger know best. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy

Prophet) remained silent for some time until we thought that he would give it a name other than

that (by which it was known). He said: Is it not Dha'l-Hijja? We said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet)

said: Which city is this? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (the Holy Prophety

remained silent until we thought that he would give it another name. He (the Holy Prophet) said:

Is it not the Balda (the city of Mecca)? We said: Yes. He said: What day is this? We said: Allah

and His Messenger know best. He (the Holy Prophet) remained silent until we thought that he

would give it another name. He said: Is it not the Day of Sacrifice? We said: Allah's Messenger.

yes. Thereupon he said: Your blood, your property (Muhammad, one of the narrators, said: I

think, he also said this) and your honour are sacred to you like the sacredness of this day of

yours, in this city of yours, and in this month of yours. You will soon meet your Lord and He

will ask you about your deeds. So do not turn after me unbelievers (or misguided), some of you

striking the necks of the others. Behold I let him who is present convey to him who is absent, formany a one whom a message is conveyed has a more retentive memory than one who hears. He

again said: Behold! have I not delivered (the message) to you? This hadith has been narrated

through another chain of transmitters, but with a slight variation of words.

4161

Abu Bakra reported that when it was that day (the 10th of Dhu'l-Hijja) he mounted his camel

and a person caught its nosestring, whereupon he said: Do you know which day is this? They

said: Allah and His Messenger know best. (The Holy Prophet [may peace be upon him] kept

silent) until we thought that he would give that another name. He said: Is it not the day of Nahr(Sacrifice) (10th of Dhu'l- Hijja)? We said: Allah's Messenger, yes. He (again) said: Which

month is it? We said: Allah and His Messenger knows best. He said: Is it not Dhu'l-Hijja? We

said: Allah's Messenger, yes. He said: Which city is this? We said: Allah and His Messenger

know best. He (the narrator) said (that the Holy Prophet kept silent until we thought that he

would give it another name besides its (original) name. He said: Is it not Balda (the city of

Mecca)? We said: Yes, Allah's Messenger. He (then) said: Verily your blood (lives) and your

property and your honour are as sacred unto you as sacred is this day of yours, in this month of

yours, in this city of yours. Let him who is present convey it to one who is absent. He then turned

his attention towards two multicoloured (black and white) rams and slaughtered them, and two

goats, and distributed them amongst us.

4162

Abu Bakra reported that when it was the day of (Dhu'l-Hijja) Allah's Apostle (may peace be

upon him) mounted the camel and addressed and a person had been holding its nosestring. The

rest of the hadith is the same.

4163

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Bakra through another chain of

transmitters (and the words are):" Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) addressed us on

the day of Nahr (Sacrifice) and said: What day is this? And the rest of the hadith is the same

except that he did not make mention of" your honour," and also did not make mention of this: He

then turned his attention towards two rams and what follows, and in a hadith (the words

pertaining to sacredness are recorded in this way):" Like the sacredness of this day of yours, in



25

this month of yours, in this city of yours to the day when you will meet your Lord. Behold, have

I not conveyed (the Message of God)? They said: Yes. He said: O Allah, bear witness."

4164

'Alqama b. Wa'il reported on the authority of his-father: While I was sitting in the company of

Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), a person came there dragging another one with the

help of a strap and said: Allah's Messenger, this man has killed my brother. Allah's Messenger

(may peace be upon him) said to him: Did you kill him? And the other man said: (In case he did

not make a confession of this, I shall brine, a witness against him). He (the murderer) said: Yes, I

have killed him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Why did you kill him? He said: I and he won

striking down the leaves of a tree and he abused me and enraged me, and to I struck his head

with an axe and killed him, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Have

you anything with you to pay blood-wit on your behalf? He said: I do not possess any property

but this robe of mine and this axe of mine. He (the Holy, Prophet) said: Do you think your people will pay ransom for you? He said: I am more insignificant among my people than this

(that I would not be able to get this benefit from my tribe). He (the Holy Prophet) threw the strap

towards him (the claimant of the blood-wit) saying: Take away your man. The man took him

away, and as he returned, Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: If he kills him, he

will be like him. He returned and said: Allah's Messenger, it has reached me that you have said

that" If he killed him, he would be like him." I caught hold of him according to your command,

whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Don't you like that he should take

upon him (the burden) of your sin and the sin of your companion (your brother)? He said: Allah's

Apostle, why not? The Messenger of Allah (may peace be. upon him) said: If it is so, then let it

be. He threw away the strap (around the offender) and set him free.

4165

'Alaqama b. Wa'il reported on the authority of his father that a person was brought to the

Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) who had killed another person, and the heir of the

person slain had dragged him (to the Holy Prophet) with a strap around his neck. As he turned

away Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The killer and the killed are (doomed) to

fire. A person came to the other person (the heir of the deceased) and he reported to him the

words of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), and so he let him off. Isma'il b.

Salim said: I made a mention of it to Habib b. Abu Thabit and he said: Ibn Ashwa' reported tome that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) had asked him to pardon him, but he refused.

4166

Abu Huraira reported that among two women of the tribe of Hudhail one flung a stone upon the

other causing an abortion to her Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) gave judgment that a

male or a female slave of best quality be given as compensation.

4167

Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) gave judgment in case of

the abortion of a woman of Banu Lihyan (that the offender and near relative should give

compensation in the form of) good quality of a slave or a slave-girl. And the woman about whom

the judgment was given for compensation died and thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be

upon him) gave judgment that her inheritance goes to her sons and her husband, and the payment



26

of the blood-wit lies with the family of (one who struck her).

4168

Abu Huraira reported that two women of the tribe of Hudhail fought with each other and one of

them flung a stone at the other, killing her and what was in her womb. The case was brought to

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and he gave judgment that the diyat (indemnity) of

her unborn child is a male or a female slave of the best quality, and he also decided that the diyat

of the woman is to be paid by her relative on the father's side, and he (the Holy Prophet) made

her sons and those who were with them her heirs. Hamal b. al-Nabigha al-Hudhali said:

Messenger of Allah, why should I play blood-wit for one who neither drank, nor ate, nor spoke,

nor made any noise; it is like a nonentity (it is, therefore, not justifiable to demand blood-wit for

it). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He seems to be one of the

brothers of soothsavers on account of the rhymed speech which he has composed.

4169

Abu Huraira reported that two women fought-the rest of the hadith is the same but herein no

mention has been made of: He made her son and those who were with them her heirs. Someone

said: Why should we pay blood-wit? And he did not name Hamal b. Malik.

4170

Al-Mughira b. Shu'ba reported that a woman struck her co-wife with a tent-pole and she was

pregnant and she killed her. One of them belonged to the tribe of Lihyan. Allah's Messenger(may peace be upon him) made the relatives of the murderer responsible for the payment of

blood-wit on her behalf, and fixed a slave or a female slave as the indemnity for what was in her

womb. One of the persons amongst the relatives of the murderer said: Should we pay indemnity

for one who, neither ate, nor drank, nor made any noise, who was just like a nonentity?

Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) remarked: He speaks rhymed phrases

like the people of the desert. He did impose indemnity upon them.

4171

Al-Mughira b. Shu'ba reported: A woman killed her fellow-wife with a tent-pole. Her case was

brought to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he gave judgment that blood-wit

should be paid by the relatives (of the offender) on the father's side. And as she was pregnant, he

decided regarding her unborn child that a male or a female slave of good quality be given. Some

of her offender's) relatives said: Should we make compensation for one who never ate, nor drank,

nor made any noise, who was like a nonentity? Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be

upon him) said: He was talking rhymed phrases like the rhymed phrases of desert Arabs.

abortion of an unboam child. Mughira b. Shu'ba said: I bear witness to the fact that Allah's

Messenger (may peace be upon him) gave judgment about it that a good quality of slave or

female slave should be given for it. Thereupon 'Umar said: Bring one who may bear witness to

you. Then Muhammad b. Maslama bore witness to him.
