Narrated Abu Huraira: While we were in the mosque, Allah's Apostle came out to us and said, Let us proceed to the Jews. So we went along with him till we reached Bait-al-Midras (a place where the Torah used to be recited and all the Jews of the town used to gather). The Prophet stood up and addressed them, O Assembly of Jews! Embrace Islam and you will be safe! The Jews replied, O Aba-l-Qasim! You have conveyed Allah's message to us. The Prophet said, That is what I want (from you). He repeated his first statement for the second time, and they said, You have conveyed Allah's message, O Aba-l- Qasim. Then he said it for the third time and added, You should Know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to exile you fro,,, this land, so whoever among you owns some property, can sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle. (See Hadith No. 392, Vol. 4)

(4.19) The custom (in the Pre-lslamic Period) was that if a man died, his relatives used to have the right to inherit his wife, and if one of them wished, he could marry her, or they could marry her to somebody else, or prevent her from marrying if they wished, for they had more right to dispose of her than her own relatives. Therefore this Verse was revealed concerning this matter.

Az-Zuhri said regarding a virgin slave-girl raped by a free man: The judge has to fine the adulterer as much money as is equal to the price of the female slave and the adulterer has to be flogged (according to the Islamic Law); but if the slave woman is a matron, then, according to the verdict of the Imam, the adulterer is not fined but he has to receive the legal punishment (according to the Islamic Law).
