Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani: A bedouin came to Allah's Apostle and said, O Allah's apostle! I ask you by Allah to judge My case according to Allah's Laws. His opponent, who was more learned than he, said, Yes, judge between us according to Allah's Laws, and allow me to speak. Allah's Apostle said, Speak. He (i .e. the bedouin or the other man) said, My son was working as a laborer for this (man) and he committed illegal sexual intercourse with his wife. The people told me that it was obligatory that my son should be stoned to death, so in lieu of that I ransomed my son by paying one hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the religious scholars about it, and they informed me that my son must be lashed one hundred lashes, and be exiled for one year, and the wife of this (man) must be stoned to death. Allah's Apostle said, By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I will judge between you according to Allah's Laws. The slave-girl and the sheep are to be returned to you, your son is to receive a hundred lashes and be exiled for one year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses her guilt, stone her to death. Unais went to that woman next morning and she confessed. Allah's Apostle ordered that she be stoned to death.

Buy me and manumit me, as my masters will sell me. Aisha agreed to it. Buraira said, 'My masters will sell me on the condition that my Wala will go to them. Aisha said to her, 'Then I am not in need of you.' The Prophet heard of that or was told about it and so he asked Aisha, 'What is the problem of Buraira?' He said, 'Buy her and manumit her, no matter what they stipulate.' Aisha added, 'I bought and manumitted her, though her masters had stipulated that her Wala would be for them.' The Prophet said, The Wala is for the liberator, even if the other stipulated a hundred conditions.

Read More..Narrated Ubai bin Ka`b: Allah's Apostle said, Moses the Apostle of Allah, and then he narrated the whole story about him. Al-Khadir said to Moses, Did not I tell you that you can have no patience with me. (18.72). Moses then violated the agreement for the first time because of forgetfulness, then Moses promised that if he asked Al-Khadir about anything, the latter would have the right to desert him. Moses abided by that condition and on the third occasion he intentionally asked Al-Khadir and caused that condition to be applied. The three occasions referred to above are referred to by the following Verses: Call me not to account for forgetting And be not hard upon me. (18.73) Then they met a boy and Khadir killed him. (18.74) Then they proceeded and found a wall which was on the verge of falling and Khadir set it up straight. (18.77)
Read More..Narrated `Urwa: Aisha said, Buraira came to me and said, 'My people (masters) have written the contract for my emancipation for nine Awaq ) of gold) to be paid in yearly installments, one Uqiyya per year; so help me. Aisha said (to her), If your masters agree, I will pay them the whole sum provided the Wala will be for me. Buraira went to her masters and told them about it, but they refused the offer and she returned from them while Allah's Apostles was sitting. She said, I presented the offer to them, but they refused unless the Wala' would be for them. When the Prophet heard that and `Aisha told him about It, he said to her, Buy Buraira and let them stipulate that her Wala' will be for them, as the Wala' is for the manumitted. `Aisha did so. After that Allah's Apostle got up amidst the people, Glorified and Praised Allah and said, What is wrong with some people who stipulate things which are not in Allah's Laws? Any condition which is not in Allah's Laws is invalid even if there were a hundred such conditions. Allah's Rules are the most valid and Allah's Conditions are the most solid. The Wala is for the manumitted.
Read More..Narrated Ibn `Umar: When the people of Khaibar dislocated `Abdullah bin `Umar's hands and feet, `Umar got up delivering a sermon saying, No doubt, Allah's Apostle made a contract with the Jews concerning their properties, and said to them, 'We allow you (to stand in your land) as long as Allah allows you.' Now `Abdullah bin `Umar went to his land and was attacked at night, and his hands and feet were dislocated, and as we have no enemies there except those Jews, they are our enemies and the only people whom we suspect, I have made up my mind to exile them. When `Umar decided to carry out his decision, a son of Abu Al-Haqiq's came and addressed `Umar, O chief of the believers, will you exile us although Muhammad allowed us to stay at our places, and made a contract with us about our properties, and accepted the condition of our residence in our land? `Umar said, Do you think that I have forgotten the statement of Allah's Apostle, i.e.: What will your condition be when you are expelled from Khaibar and your camel will be carrying you night after night? The Jew replied, That was joke from Abul-Qasim. `Umar said, O the enemy of Allah! You are telling a lie. `Umar then drove them out and paid them the price of their properties in the form of fruits, money, camel saddles and ropes, etc.
