Narrated Jabir: Some men had superfluous land and they said that they would give it to others to cultivate on the condition that they would get one-third or one-fourth or one half of its yield.

He asked, Do you lend them so that their milk may be utilized by others? The bedouin said, Yes. The Prophet asked, Do you milk them on the day off watering them? He replied, Yes. The Prophet said, Do good deeds beyond the merchants (or the sea) and Allah will never disregard any of your deeds. (See Hadith No. 260, Vol. 5)

Buraira said, I cannot accuse her of any defect except that she is still a young girl who sleeps, neglecting her family's dough which the domestic goats come to eat (i.e. she was too simpleminded to deceive her husband). Allah's Apostle said, Who can help me to take revenge over the man who has harmed me by defaming the reputation of my family?
