Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: A drink (of milk and water) was brought to Allah's Apostle while a boy was sitting on his right side and old men were sitting on his left side.

Read More..Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle owed a man some debt (and that man demanded it very harshly). The companions of the Prophet wanted to harm him, but the Prophet said to them, Leave him, as the creditor has the right to speak harshly. He then added, Buy (a camel) of the same age and give it to him. They said, We cannot get except a camel of an older age than that of his. He said, Buy it and give it to him, as the best amongst you is he who pays back his debt in the most handsome way.'

He said to them, This concerns also other people along with me as you see, and the best statement to me is the true one, so you may choose one of two alternatives; either the captives or the property and (I have not distributed the booty for) I have been waiting for you. When the Prophet had returned from Ta'if, he waited for them for more than ten nights. When they came to know that the Prophet would not return except one of the two, they chose their captives. The Prophet then stood up amongst the Muslims, Glorified and Praised Allah as He deserved, and then said, Then after: These brothers of yours have come to you with repentance and I see it proper to return their captives, so whoever amongst you likes to do that as a favor, then he can do it, and whoever of you wants to stick to his share till we pay him from the very first Fai (i.e. war booty) which Allah will give us, then he can do so. The people said, We return (the captives) to them willingly as a favor, O Allah's Apostle! The Prophet said, I do not know who of you has given his consent and who has not; so go back and your leaders may present your decision to me. The people went away, and their leaders discussed the matter with them, and then came to the Prophet to tell him that all of them had given their consent (to return the captives) willingly. (Az-Zuhn, the sub-narrator said, This is what we know about the captives, of Hawazin. )
