أَخْبَرَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مِسْكِينُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ خَرَجَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مَعَهُمَا وَلَدَاهُمَا فَأَخَذَ الذِّئْبُ أَحَدَهُمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاخْتَصَمَتَا فِي الْوَلَدِ إِلَى دَاوُدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَضَى بِهِ لِلْكُبْرَى مِنْهُمَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَرَّتَا عَلَى سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَيْفَ قَضَى بَيْنَكُمَا ؟ قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَضَى بِهِ لِلْكُبْرَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ:‏‏‏‏ أَقْطَعُهُ بِنِصْفَيْنِ لِهَذِهِ نِصْفٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلِهَذِهِ نِصْفٌ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَتِ الْكُبْرَى:‏‏‏‏ نَعَمِ،‏‏‏‏ اقْطَعُوهُ. فَقَالَتِ الصُّغْرَى:‏‏‏‏ لَا تَقْطَعْهُ هُوَ وَلَدُهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَضَى بِهِ لِلَّتِي أَبَتْ أَنْ يَقْطَعَهُ .

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that : The Prophet [SAW] said: Two women went out with their two children, and the wolf took one of the children from them. They referred their dispute to Prophet Dawud, peace be upon him, and he ruled that (the remaining child) belonged to the older woman. Then they passed by Sulaiman, peace be upon him, and he said: 'How did he judge between you?' She said: 'He ruled that (the child) belongs to the older woman.' Sulaiman said: 'Cut him in half, and give half to one and half to the other.' The older woman said: 'Yes, cut him in half.' The younger woman said: 'Do not cut him, he is her child.' So he ruled that the child belonged to the woman who refused to let him be cut.

أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ. ح، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنْبَأَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مَعِينٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ إِلَى بَنِي جَذِيمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَلَمْ يُحْسِنُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا:‏‏‏‏ أَسْلَمْنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَعَلُوا يَقُولُونَ:‏‏‏‏ صَبَأْنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَجَعَلَ خَالِدٌ قَتْلًا وَأَسْرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَدَفَعَ إِلَى كُلِّ رَجُلٍ أَسِيرَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَصْبَحَ يَوْمُنَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَمَرَ خَالِدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا أَسِيرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَقْتُلُ أَسِيرِي وَلَا يَقْتُلُ أَحَدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ بِشْرٌ:‏‏‏‏ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي أَسِيرَهُ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَقَدِمْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذُكِرَ لَهُ صُنْعُ خَالِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ خَالِدٌ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ زَكَرِيَّا فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَذُكِرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِي حَدِيثِ بِشْرٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا صَنَعَ خَالِدٌ مَرَّتَيْنِ.

It was narrated from Salim that his father said: The Prophet [SAW] sent Khalid bin Al-Walid to Banu Jadhimah. He called them to Islam, but they could not say Aslamna (we submitted, i.e., became Muslim) so they started to say Saba'na (we changed our religion). Khalid started killing and taking prisoners, and he gave a prisoner to each man. The next day Khalid bin Al-Walid issued orders that each man among us kill his prisoner. Ibn 'Umar said: I said: 'By Allah, I will not kill my prisoner, and no one (among my companions) will kill his prisoner.' We came to the Prophet [SAW], and he was told of what Khalid had done. The Prophet [SAW] said: 'I disavow what Khalid has done,' twice.

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَتَبَ أَبِي،‏‏‏‏ وَكَتَبْتُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ إِلَى عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ وَهُوَ قَاضِي سِجِسْتَانَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْ لَا تَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ غَضْبَانُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَحْكُمْ أَحَدٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ .

It was narrated that 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Bakrah said: My father wrote to 'Ubaidullah bin Abi Bakrah - who was the judge of Sijistan - saying: 'Do not pass judgment between two people when you are angry, for I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] say: No one should pass judgment between two people when he is angry.'

أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ،‏‏‏‏ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَدَّثَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ خَاصَمَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فِي شِرَاجِ الْحَرَّةِ،‏‏‏‏ كَانَا يَسْقِيَانِ بِهِ كِلَاهُمَا النَّخْلَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ سَرِّحِ الْمَاءَ يَمُرَّ عَلَيْهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ اسْقِ يَا زُبَيْرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَرْسِلِ الْمَاءَ إِلَى جَارِكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَغَضِبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ أَنْ كَانَ ابْنَ عَمَّتِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَتَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا زُبَيْرُ،‏‏‏‏ اسْقِ ثُمَّ احْبِسِ الْمَاءَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْجَدْرِ ،‏‏‏‏ فَاسْتَوْفَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ حَقَّهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ أَشَارَ عَلَى الزُّبَيْرِ بِرَأْيٍ فِيهِ السَّعَةُ لَهُ وَلِلْأَنْصَارِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا أَحْفَظَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ اسْتَوْفَى لِلزُّبَيْرِ حَقَّهُ فِي صَرِيحِ الْحُكْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَحْسَبُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ أُنْزِلَتْ إِلَّا فِي ذَلِكَ:‏‏‏‏ فَلا وَرَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ سورة النساء آية 65 . وَأَحَدُهُمَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى صَاحِبِهِ فِي الْقِصَّةِ.

It was narrated from Az-Zubair bin Al-'Awwam that: He disputed with a man among Ansar who had been present at Badr with the Messenger of Allah [SAW], concerning a stream in Al-Harrah from which they both used to water their date palm trees. The Ansari said: Let the water flow. But he (Az-Zubair) refused. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: Irrigate (your land), O Zubair! Then let the water flow to your neighbor. The Ansari became angry and said, O Messenger of Allah, is it because he is your cousin? The face of the Messenger of Allah [SAW] changed color (because of anger) and he said: O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) then block the water, until it flows back to the walls. So the Messenger of Allah [SAW] allowed Az-Zubair to take his rights in full, although before that he had suggested to Az-Zubair a middle way that benefited both him and the Ansari. But when the Ansari made the Messenger of Allah [SAW] angry, he gave Az-Zubair his rights in full, as stated clearly in his ruling. Az-Zubair said: I think that this Verse was revealed concerning this matter: 'But no, by your Lord, they can have no faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them.'

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ تَقَاضَى ابْنَ أَبِي حَدْرَدٍ دَيْنًا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَارْتَفَعَتْ أَصْوَاتُهُمَا حَتَّى سَمِعَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمَا،‏‏‏‏ فَكَشَفَ سِتْرَ حُجْرَتِهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَنَادَى:‏‏‏‏ يَا كَعْبُ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَبَّيْكَ،‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ضَعْ مِنْ دَيْنِكَ هَذَا ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَوْمَأَ إِلَى الشَّطْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قُمْ فَاقْضِهِ .

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Ka'b, from his father, that : He asked Ibn Abi Hadrad to pay off a debt that he owed him. Their voices grew so loud that the Messenger of Allah [SAW] heard them when he was inside his house. He came out to them, drew back the curtain of his room and called out: O Ka'b! He said: Here I am, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Drop his debt to half. He said: I will do that. He said (to the debtor): Go and pay it off.

أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُبَشِّرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ إِيَاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ شَرَحِبِيلَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدِمْتُ مَعَ عُمُومَتِي الْمَدِينَةَ،‏‏‏‏ فَدَخَلْتُ حَائِطًا مِنْ حِيطَانِهَا،‏‏‏‏ فَفَرَكْتُ مِنْ سُنْبُلِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ صَاحِبُ الْحَائِطِ فَأَخَذَ كِسَائِي،‏‏‏‏ وَضَرَبَنِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْتَعْدِي عَلَيْهِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَجَاءُوا بِهِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى هَذَا ؟ ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ إِنَّهُ دَخَلَ حَائِطِي فَأَخَذَ مِنْ سُنْبُلِهِ فَفَرَكَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا عَلَّمْتَهُ إِذْ كَانَ جَاهِلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا أَطْعَمْتَهُ إِذْ كَانَ جَائِعًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ارْدُدْ عَلَيْهِ كِسَاءَهُ ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَمَرَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِوَسْقٍ،‏‏‏‏ أَوْ نِصْفِ وَسْقٍ.

It was narrated that 'Abbad bin Shurahbil said: I came to Al-Madinah with my paternal uncles and entered one of its gardens, where I rubbed an ear of grain (to take some grains). The owner of the garden came, took my cloak and hit me. I came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and sought his help against him. He sent for the man and they brought him. He said: 'What made you do that?' He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, he entered my garden and took one of the ears of grain and rubbed it.' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'You did not teach him if he was ignorant, nor feed him if he was hungry. Give him back his cloak.' And the Messenger of Allah [SAW] ordered me with a Wasq or half a Wasq.

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،‏‏‏‏ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُمَا أَخْبَرَاهُ أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اخْتَصَمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا:‏‏‏‏ اقْضِ بَيْنَنَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ وَهُوَ أَفْقَهُهُمَا:‏‏‏‏ أَجَلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ،‏‏‏‏ وَأْذَنْ لِي فِي أَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ ابْنِي كَانَ عَسِيفًا عَلَى هَذَا فَزَنَى بِامْرَأَتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ عَلَى ابْنِي الرَّجْمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَافْتَدَيْتُ بِمِائَةِ شَاةٍ وَبِجَارِيَةٍ لِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّمَا عَلَى ابْنِي جَلْدُ مِائَةٍ وَتَغْرِيبُ عَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّمَا الرَّجْمُ عَلَى امْرَأَتِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ،‏‏‏‏ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ بَيْنَكُمَا بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَمَّا غَنَمُكَ وَجَارِيَتُكَ فَرَدٌّ إِلَيْكَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَجَلَدَ ابْنَهُ مِائَةً وَغَرَّبَهُ عَامًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَمَرَ أُنَيْسًا:‏‏‏‏ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ امْرَأَةَ الْآخَرِ فَإِنِ اعْتَرَفَتْ فَارْجُمْهَا . فَاعْتَرَفَتْ فَرَجَمَهَا.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani that: Two men referred a dispute to the Messenger of Allah [SAW]. One of them said: O Messenger of Allah, pass judgment between us according to the Book of Allah. The other, who was wiser, said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah, and allow me to speak. He said: My son was a laborer serving this man, and he committed Zina with his wife. They told me that my son was to be stoned to death, but I ransomed him with one hundred sheep and a slave girl of mine. Then I asked the people of knowledge, who told me that my son was to be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year, and that his (the man's) wife was to be stoned to death. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I will pass judgment between you according to the Book of Allah. As for your sheep and your slave girl, take them back. Then he gave his son one hundred lashes, and exiled him for one year, and he ordered Unais to go to the wife of the other man and if she confessed, to stone her to death. She did confess, so he stoned her to death.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah, Zaid bin Khalid and Shibl said: We were with the Prophet [SAW] when a man stood up and said: 'I adjure you, by Allah, pass judgment between us according to the Book of Allah.' His opponent, who was wiser than him, stood up and said: 'He is right, pass judgment between us according to the Book of Allah.' He said: 'Speak.' He said: 'My son was a laborer serving this man, and he committed Zina with his wife. I ransomed him with one hundred sheep and a servant.' It is as if he was told that his son was to be stoned to death but he ransomed him from that. 'Then I asked some knowledgeable men and they told me that my son was to be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year.' The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said to him: 'By the One in Whose hand is my soul, I will pass judgment between you according to the Book of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime. As for the one hundred sheep and the servant, take them back, and your son is to be given one hundred lashes and exiled for a year. O Unais, go tomorrow to the wife of this man and if she confesses, then stone her to death.' She did confess, so he stoned her to death.

It was narrated from Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif that: A woman who had committed Zina was brought to the Prophet [SAW]. He said: With whom? She said: With the paralyzed man who lives in the garden of Sa'd. He was brought and placed before (the Prophet [SAW]) and he confessed. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] called for a bunch of palm leaves and hit him. He took pity on him because of his disability and was lenient with him.

Sahl bin Sa'd Al-Sa'idi said: Words were exchanged between two clans of the Ansar, to the point that they began to throw rocks at one another. The Prophet [SAW] went to reconcile between them. The time for prayer came, so Bilal called Adhan and waited for the Messenger of Allah [SAW], but he was delayed. He said the Iqamah and Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, went forward (to lead the prayer). Then the Prophet [SAW] came while Abu Bakr was leading the people in prayer, and when the people saw him they clapped. Abu Bakr would not turn around when he was praying, but when he heard them clapping, he turned around and saw the Messenger of Allah [SAW]. He wanted to step back but (the Prophet [SAW]) gestured to him to stay where he was. Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, raised his hands, then he moved backward and the Messenger of Allah [SAW] came forward and led (the rest of) the prayer. When the Messenger of Allah [SAW] finished praying, he said: 'What prevented you from staying where you were?' He said: 'I would not like Allah to see the son of Abu Quhafah standing in front of His Prophet.' Then he (the Prophet [SAW]) turned to the people and said: 'If you noticed something while you were praying, why did you clap? That is for women. Whoever notices something while he is praying, let him say: Subhan Allah.

It was narrated from Ka'b bin Malik that: He owed a debt by 'Abdullah bin Abi Hadrad Al-Aslami. He met him, and asked him to pay it off. They exchanged words until their voices became loud. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] passed by them and said: O Ka'b! and he gestured with his hand to say half. So he took half of what was owed and let him off the other half.

It was narrated that Wa'il said: I saw the Messenger of Allah [SAW] when a killer was brought by the heir of the victim by a string.

He said: 'Take him away.' When he went and turned away from him, he called him back and said: 'Will you forgive him?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Will you accept the Diyah?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Will you kill him?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Take him away.' When he went and turned away from him, he called him back and said: 'Will you forgive him?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Will you accept the Diyah?' He said: 'No.' He said: 'Will you kill him?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Take him away.' At that point the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'But if you forgive him, he will carry his own sin and the sin of your companion.' So he forgave him, and I saw him dragging his string.

The Ansari said: Let the water flow, but he (Az-Zubair) refused. They brought their dispute to the Messenger of Allah [SAW]. The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: Irrigate (your land), O Zubair, then let the water flow to your neighbor. The Ansari became angry and said: O Messenger of Allah, is it because he is your cousin? The face of the Messenger of Allah [SAW] changed color (because of anger) and he said: O Zubair, irrigate (your land) then block the water until it flows back to the walls. Az-Zubair said: I think that this Verse was revealed concerning this matter: 'But no, by your Lord, they can have no faith.'

It was narrated from Nafi' bin 'Umar, that Ibn Abi Mulaikah said: There were two female neighbors who used to do leatherwork (with an awl) in At-Ta'if. One of them came out with her hand bleeding and claimed that her companion had injured her, but the other one denied it. I wrote to Ibn 'Abbas concerning that. He wrote, (saying) that the Messenger of Allah [SAW] ruled that the person against whom the claim was made should swear an oath. For if people were to be given what they claimed was theirs, then people would make claims against the wealth and blood of others. So he called her and recited this Verse to her: Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths, they shall have no portion in the Hereafter... until the end of the Verse. He called her and recited that to her, and she confessed to that. News of that reached him and he was happy.

They said: 'We have come together to pray to Allah and praise Him for guiding us to His religion, and blessing us with you.' He said: 'I ask you, by Allah, is that the only reason?' They said: 'By Allah, we have not come together for any other reason.' He said: 'I am not asking you to swear to an oath because of any suspicion; rather Jibril came to me and told me that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, is boasting of you to the angels.'
