Narrated Sahl bin Sad:
A tumbler (full of milk or water) was brought to the Prophet who
drank from it, while on his right side there was sitting a boy who
was the youngest of those who were present and on his left side
there were old men. The Prophet asked, "O boy, will you allow me to
give it (i.e. the rest of the drink) to the old men?" The boy said,
"O Allah's Apostle! I will not give preference to anyone over me to
drink the rest of it from which you have drunk." So, the Prophet
gave it to him.

Allah's Apostle while he was in the house of Anas bin Malik. The
milk was mixed with water drawn from the well in Anas's house. A
tumbler of it was presented to Allah's Apostle who drank from it.
Then Abu Bakr was sitting on his left side and a bedouin on his
right side. When the Prophet removed the tumbler from his mouth,
'Umar was afraid that the Prophet might give it to the bedouin, so
he said. "O Allah's Apostle! Give it to Abu Bakr who is sitting by
your side." But the Prophet gave it to the bedouin, who was to his
right and said, "You should start with the one on your right side."

Volume 3, Book 40, Number 546
Narrated 'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud):
The Prophet said, "Whoever takes a false oath to deprive somebody of
his property will meet Allah while He will be angry with him." Allah
revealed: 'Verily those who purchase a little gain at the cost of
Allah's covenant, and their oaths.' ........(3.77)
Al-Ash'ath came (to the place where 'Abdullah was narrating) and
said, "What has Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (i.e. Abdullah) been telling you?
This verse was revealed concerning me. I had a well in the land of a
cousin of mine. The Prophet asked me to bring witnesses (to confirm
my claim). I said, 'I don't have witnesses.' He said, 'Let the
defendant take an oath then.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! He will
take a (false) oath immediately.' Then the Prophet mentioned the
above narration and Allah revealed the verse to confirm what he had
said." (See Hadith No. 692)
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 547
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "There are three persons whom Allah will not
look at on the Day of Resurrection, nor will he purify them and
theirs shall be a severe punishment. They are:
1. A man possessed superfluous water, on a way and he withheld it
from travelers.
2. A man who gave a pledge of allegiance to a ruler and he gave it
only for worldly benefits. If the ruler gives him something he gets
satisfied, and if the ruler withholds something from him, he gets
dissatisfied.
3. And man displayed his goods for sale after the 'Asr prayer and he
said, 'By Allah, except Whom None has the right to be worshipped, I
have been given so much for my goods,' and somebody believes him
(and buys them)."
The Prophet then recited: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain
at the cost of Allah's Covenant and their oaths." (3.77)

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair:
An Ansari man quarrelled with Az-Zubair in the presence of the
Prophet about the Harra Canals which were used for irrigating the
date-palms. The Ansari man said to Az-Zubair, "Let the water pass'
but Az-Zubair refused to do so. So, the case was brought before the
Prophet who said to Az-Zubair, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) and
then let the water pass to your neighbor." On that the Ansari got
angry and said to the Prophet, "Is it because he (i.e. Zubair) is
your aunt's son?" On that the color of the face of Allah's Apostle
changed (because of anger) and he said, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your
land) and then withhold the water till it reaches the walls between
the pits round the trees." Zubair said, "By Allah, I think that the
following verse was revealed on this occasion": "But no, by your
Lord They can have No faith Until they make you judge In all
disputes between them." (4.65)
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 549
Narrated 'Urwa:
When a man from the Ansar quarrelled with AzZubair, the Prophet
said, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) first and then let the water
flow (to the land of the others)." "On that the Ansari said, (to the
Prophet), "It is because he is your aunt's son." On that the Prophet
said, "O Zubair! Irrigate till the water reaches the walls between
the pits around the trees and then stop (i.e. let the water go to
the other's land)." I think the following verse was revealed
concerning this event: "But no, by your Lord They can have No faith
Until they make you judge In all disputes between them." (4.65)
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 550
Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
An-Ansari man quarrelled with Az-Zubair about a canal in the Harra
which was used for irrigating date-palms. Allah's Apostle, ordering
Zubair to be moderate, said, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land) first
and then leave the water for your neighbor." The Ansari said, "Is it
because he is your aunt's son?" On that the color of the face of
Allah's Apostle changed and he said, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your land)
and withhold the water till it reaches the walls that are between
the pits around the trees." So, Allah's Apostle gave Zubair his full
right. Zubair said, "By Allah, the following verse was revealed in
that connection": "But no, by your Lord They can have No faith Until
they make you judge In all disputes between them." (4.65)
(The sub-narrator,) Ibn Shihab said to Juraij (another
sub-narrator), "The Ansar and the other people interpreted the
saying of the Prophet, 'Irrigate (your land) and with-hold the water
till it reaches the walls between the pits around the trees,' as
meaning up to the ankles."
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 551
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "While a man was walking he felt thirsty and
went down a well and drank water from it. On coming out of it, he
saw a dog panting and eating mud because of excessive thirst. The
man said, 'This (dog) is suffering from the same problem as that of
mine. So he (went down the well), filled his shoe with water, caught
hold of it with his teeth and climbed up and watered the dog. Allah
thanked him for his (good) deed and forgave him." The people asked,
"O Allah's Apostle! Is there a reward for us in serving (the)
animals?" He replied, "Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate."

Narrated Asma' bint Abi Bakr:
The Prophet prayed the eclipse prayer, and then said, "Hell was
displayed so close that I said, 'O my Lord ! Am I going to be one of
its inhabitants?"' Suddenly he saw a woman. I think he said, who was
being scratched by a cat. He said, "What is wrong with her?" He was
told, "She had imprisoned it (i.e. the cat) till it died of hunger."

Once a tumbler (full of milk or water) was brought to Allah's
Apostle who drank from it, while on his right side there was sitting
a boy who was the youngest of those who were present, and on his
left side there were old men. The Prophet asked, "O boy ! Do you
allow me to give (the drink) to the elder people (first)?" The boy
said, "I will not prefer anybody to have my share from you, O
Allah's Apostle!" So, he gave it to the boy.

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet said, "May Allah be merciful to the mother of Ishmael!
If she had left the water of Zam-Zam (fountain) as it was, (without
constructing a basin for keeping the water), (or said, "If she had
not taken handfuls of its water"), it would have been a flowing
stream. Jurhum (an Arab tribe) came and asked her, 'May we settle at
your dwelling?' She said, 'Yes, but you have no right to possess the
water.' They agreed."
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 557
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "There are three types of people whom Allah will
neither talk to, nor look at, on the Day of Resurrection. (They are):
1. A man who takes an oath falsely that he has been offered for his
goods so much more than what he is given,
2. a man who takes a false oath after the 'Asr prayer in order to
grab a Muslim's property, and
3. a man who with-holds his superfluous water. Allah will say to
him, "Today I will with-hold My Grace from you as you with-held the
superfluity of what you had not created."
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 558
Narrated As-Sab bin Jaththama:
Allah's Apostle said, No Hima except for Allah and His Apostle. We

Hima, and 'Umar made Ash-Sharaf and Ar-Rabadha Hima (for grazing the
animals of Zakat).
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 559
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "Keeping horses may be a source of reward to
some (man), a shelter to another (i.e. means of earning one's
living), or a burden to a third. He to whom the horse will be a
source of reward is the one who keeps it in Allah's Cause (prepare
it for holy battles) and ties it by a long rope in a pasture (or a
garden). He will get a reward equal to what its long rope allows it
to eat in the pasture or the garden, and if that horse breaks its
rope and crosses one or two hills, then all its foot-steps and its
dung will be counted as good deeds for its owner; and if it passes
by a river and drinks from it, then that will also be regarded as a
good deed for its owner even if he has had no intention of watering
it then. Horses are a shelter from poverty to the second person who
keeps horses for earning his living so as not to ask others, and at
the same time he gives Allah's right (i.e. Rakat) (from the wealth
he earns through using them in trading etc.,) and does not
overburden them. He who keeps horses just out of pride and for
showing off and as a means of harming the Muslims, his horses will
be a source of sins to him." When Allah's Apostle was asked about
donkeys, he replied, "Nothing particular was revealed to me regarding
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 560
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid:
A man came to Allah's Apostle and asked about Al-Luqata (a fallen
thing). The Prophet said, "Recognize its container and its tying
material and then make a public announcement about it for one year
and if its owner shows up, give it to him; otherwise use it as you
like." The man said, "What about a lost sheep?" The Prophet said,
"It is for you, your brother or the wolf." The man said "What about
a lost camel?" The Prophet said, "Why should you take it as it has
got its water-container (its stomach) and its hooves and it can
reach the places of water and can eat the trees till its owner finds
it?"
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 561
Narrated Az-Zubair bin Al 'Awwam:
The Prophet said, "No doubt, one had better take a rope (and cut)
and tie a bundle of wood and sell it whereby Allah will keep his
face away (from Hell-fire) rather than ask others who may give him
or not."
Volume 3, Book 40, Number 562
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "No doubt, you had better gather a bundle of
wood and carry it on your back (and earn your living thereby) rather
than ask somebody who may give you or not."

Narrated Husain bin Ali:
Ali bin Abi Talib said: "I got a she-camel as my share of the war
booty on the day (of the battle) of Badr, and Allah's Apostle gave
me another she-camel. I let both of them kneel at the door of one of
the Ansar, intending to carry Idhkhir on them to sell it and use its
price for my wedding banquet on marrying Fatima. A goldsmith from
Bam Qainqa' was with me. Hamza bin 'Abdul-Muttalib was in that house
drinking wine and a lady singer was reciting: "O Hamza! (Kill) the
(two) fat old she camels (and serve them to your guests)."
So Hamza took his sword and went towards the two she-camels and cut
off their humps and opened their flanks and took a part of their
livers." (I said to Ibn Shihab, "Did he take part of the humps?" He
replied, "He cut off their humps and carried them away.") 'Ali
further said, "When I saw that dreadful sight, I went to the Prophet
and told him the news. The Prophet came out in the company of Zaid
bin Haritha who was with him then, and I too went with them. He went
to Hamza and spoke harshly to him. Hamza looked up and said, 'Aren't
you only the slaves of my forefathers?' The Prophet retreated and
went out. This incident happened before the prohibition of drinking."

others, so remain patient till you meet me (on the Day of
Resurrection).

for fruits, except in the case of 'Araya; he allowed the owners of
