It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "If people were given on the basis of their claims, people would claim the lives and property of men. Rather the oath should be sworn by the defendant."

حَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَرْحٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِى مُلَيْكَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ لاَدَّعَى نَاسٌ دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ ».

It was narrated that Umm Salamah said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "You refer your disputes to me, but one of you may be more eloquent in arguing than the other, and I judge in his favor because of what I hear from him. If I allocate to a person something that is his brother's right, let him not take it, for I have allocated him a piece of Fire."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ إِلَىَّ وَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَلْحَنَ بِحُجَّتِهِ مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَأَقْضِى لَهُ عَلَى نَحْوٍ مِمَّا أَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ فَمَنْ قَطَعْتُ لَهُ مِنْ حَقِّ أَخِيهِ شَيْئًا فَلاَ يَأْخُذْهُ فَإِنَّمَا أَقْطَعُ لَهُ بِهِ قِطْعَةً مِنَ النَّارِ ».

It was narrated from Umm Salamah, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w), that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) heard noise of a dispute by the door of his apartment. He went out to them and said: "I am only human. Disputants come to me and one of them may be more eloquent than the other, so I think that he is telling the truth and I rule in his favor. If I rule in a person's favor concerning the rights of another Muslim, it is no more than a piece of Fire, so let him burden himself with it or forsake it."

وَحَدَّثَنِى حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- سَمِعَ جَلَبَةَ خَصْمٍ بِبَابِ حُجْرَتِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ « إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ وَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِينِى الْخَصْمُ فَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَهُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَبْلَغَ مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَأَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ صَادِقٌ فَأَقْضِى لَهُ فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِحَقِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ فَلْيَحْمِلْهَا أَوْ يَذَرْهَا ».

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: Hind bint 'Utbah, the wife of Abu Sufyan, entered upon the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a stingy man and he does not give me enough maintenance for myself and my children, unless I take from his wealth without his knowledge. Is there any sin on me for that? The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Take from his wealth on a reasonable basis, whatever is sufficient for yourself and your children."

حَدَّثَنِى عَلِىُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ دَخَلَتْ هِنْدٌ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ امْرَأَةُ أَبِى سُفْيَانَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ لاَ يُعْطِينِى مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ مَا يَكْفِينِى وَيَكْفِى بَنِىَّ إِلاَّ مَا أَخَذْتُ مِنْ مَالِهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمِهِ. فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ فِى ذَلِكَ مِنْ جُنَاحٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « خُذِى مِنْ مَالِهِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَيَكْفِى بَنِيكِ ».

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: Hind came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, there was no household on earth upon whom I would have loved to see Allah bring disgrace more than your household, but now there is no household on earth upon whom I would love to see Allah bring honor more than your household. The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "And that (love) will increase, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul." Then she said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a niggardly man. Is there any sin on me if I spend on his children from his wealth without his knowledge? The Prophet (s.a.w) said: "There is no sin on you if you spend on them on a reasonable basis."

وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ هِنْدٌ إِلَى النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَهْلُ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ يُذِلَّهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ وَمَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ أَهْلُ خِبَاءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ يُعِزَّهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ. فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « وَأَيْضًا وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ ». ثُمَّ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مُمْسِكٌ فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ حَرَجٌ أَنْ أُنْفِقَ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ مِنْ مَالِهِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « لاَ حَرَجَ عَلَيْكِ أَنْ تُنْفِقِى عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ».

'Urwah bin Az-Zubair narrated that 'Aishah said: Hind bint 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah came and said: O Messenger of Allah, by Allah there was no household on earth whom I would love to see humiliated more than your household, but now there is no household on earth whom I would love to see honored more than your household. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "And that (love) will increase, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul." Then she said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Sufyan is a niggardly man. Is there any sin on me if I feed our children from what he has? He said: "No, but do that on a reasonable basis."

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَخِى الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَخْبَرَنِى عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ جَاءَتْ هِنْدٌ بِنْتُ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ خِبَاءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ وَمَا أَصْبَحَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الأَرْضِ خِبَاءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَعِزُّوا مِنْ أَهْلِ خِبَائِكَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « وَأَيْضًا وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ ».ثُمَّ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ مِسِّيكٌ فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ حَرَجٌ مِنْ أَنْ أُطْعِمَ مِنَ الَّذِى لَهُ عِيَالَنَا فَقَالَ لَهَا « لاَ إِلاَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ».

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Allah likes three things for you and dislikes three things for you. He likes for you to worship Him and not associate anything with Him, and to hold fast to the rope of Allah altogether and not be divided; and He dislikes for you to gossip, to ask too much and to waste money."

حَدَّثَنِى زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَرْضَى لَكُمْ ثَلاَثًا وَيَكْرَهُ لَكُمْ ثَلاَثًا فَيَرْضَى لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوهُ وَلاَ تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَأَنْ تَعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُوا وَيَكْرَهُ لَكُمْ قِيلَ وَقَالَ وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ وَإِضَاعَةَ الْمَالِ ».

It was narrated from Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Allah has forbidden to you disobedience to mothers, burying daughters alive, and withholding the rights of others and asking of them. And He dislikes three things for you: gossip, asking too much and wasting money."

وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْحَنْظَلِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِىِّ عَنْ وَرَّادٍ مَوْلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ عُقُوقَ الأُمَّهَاتِ وَوَأْدَ الْبَنَاتِ وَمَنْعًا وَهَاتِ وَكَرِهَ لَكُمْ ثَلاَثًا قِيلَ وَقَالَ وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ وَإِضَاعَةَ الْمَالِ ».

It was narrated from Ash-Sha'bi: The scribe of Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah told me: Mushahwiyah wrote to Al-Mughirah (saying): Write for me something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). He wrote to him: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "Allah dislikes three things for you: gossip, wasting money and asking too much."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ حَدَّثَنِى ابْنُ أَشْوَعَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِىِّ حَدَّثَنِى كَاتِبُ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ كَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى الْمُغِيرَةِ اكْتُبْ إِلَىَّ بِشَىْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنِّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَرِهَ لَكُمْ ثَلاَثًا قِيلَ وَقَالَ وَإِضَاعَةَ الْمَالِ وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ ».

It was narrated that Warrad said: Al-Mughirah wrote to Mushahwiyah: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) say: "Allah has forbidden three things and disallowed three things. He has forbidden disobedience to parents, burying daughters alive and withholding the rights of others and asking of them; and He has disallowed three things: gossip, asking too much and wasting money."

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْفَزَارِىُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الثَّقَفِىُّ عَنْ وَرَّادٍ قَالَ كَتَبَ الْمُغِيرَةُ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ سَلاَمٌ عَلَيْكَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَقُولُ « إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ ثَلاَثًا وَنَهَى عَنْ ثَلاَثٍ حَرَّمَ عُقُوقَ الْوَالِدِ وَوَأْدَ الْبَنَاتِ وَلاَ وَهَاتِ.وَنَهَى عَنْ ثَلاَثٍ قِيلٍ وَقَالٍ وَكَثْرَةِ السُّؤَالِ وَإِضَاعَةِ الْمَالِ ».
