Hadith 2118

وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ : لَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ ، قُلْتُ : هَلْ مِنْ سُوقٍ فِيهِ تِجَارَةٌ ؟ قَالَ : سُوقُ قَيْنُقَاعَ ، وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ : قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ : دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ ، وَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَلْهَانِي الصَّفْقُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ .
And Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, may Allah be pleased with him, said that when we came to Madinah, I asked (my Islamic brother) if there was any market here. Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "Show me the market." And Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, once said that trading in the market kept me preoccupied.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَغْزُو جَيْشٌ الْكَعْبَةَ ، فَإِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يُخْسَفُ بِأَوَّلِهِمْ وَآخِرِهِمْ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ يُخْسَفُ بِأَوَّلِهِمْ وَآخِرِهِمْ ، وَفِيهِمْ أَسْوَاقُهُمْ وَمَنْ لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ ؟ قَالَ : يُخْسَفُ بِأَوَّلِهِمْ وَآخِرِهِمْ ، ثُمَّ يُبْعَثُونَ عَلَى نِيَّاتِهِمْ " .
Narrated `Aisha: Allah's Apostle said, "An army will invade the Ka`ba and when the invaders reach Al-Baida', all the ground will sink and swallow the whole army." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! How will they sink into the ground while amongst them will be their markets (the people who worked in business and not invaders) and the people not belonging to them?" The Prophet replied, "all of those people will sink but they will be resurrected and judged according to their intentions."

Thus, from this it is established that there were marketplaces inside the Ka‘bah.
This is precisely the objective of the chapter.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
According to this hadith, the existence of marketplaces or shopkeepers working in the marketplace at the location of Bayda’ is established. Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has mentioned this hadith solely to establish this point.
(2)
Although there is noise and commotion in the marketplace, there is no harm if respectable people go there to fulfill their needs.
(3)
It is also understood from this hadith that associating with evil and troublemaking people is itself a prelude to one’s own destruction.
(4)
In some narrations, the words "ashrafahum" (their nobles) are found; on this basis, an objection of scribal error (tasheef) has been raised regarding the words "aswaafahum" (their markets) as stated by Bukhari, but this is not based on reality.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues:
During the journey of Hudaybiyyah, the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passed by Ka‘b bin ‘Ujrah (radi Allahu anhu) and saw that he was lighting a fire under a pot, and lice were falling from his head onto his face. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), without fully examining him while standing, asked him, “Are these lice causing you hardship?” Ka‘b (radi Allahu anhu) replied in the affirmative, so the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) told him to shave his head and to give whatever expiation (fidyah) was easily available to him.
After saying this, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) departed. Later, a companion mentioned the severity of Ka‘b’s (radi Allahu anhu) suffering, so the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent for him. Due to the intensity of his pain, he was brought while being carried. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) examined him closely and, seeing the severity of his suffering, said, “When I saw you earlier, I did not perceive your pain to be this severe.”
Then the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) immediately called for someone to shave his head and instructed him regarding the expiation (kafarah).
The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had first given this ruling through hidden revelation (wahy khafi).
Later, in confirmation of this, manifest revelation (wahy jali) in the form of a Qur’anic verse was revealed.
However, in the Qur’an, the mention of expiation is in a general manner; its details and clarification are found in the hidden revelation (hadith).
From this, it is established that the Qur’an can be understood in the light of the hadith of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
In the Qur’an, only fasting and charity are mentioned, but how many fasts should be kept and how much charity should be given is not detailed or clarified.
Similarly, the explanation of the sacrificial animal (nusuk) is not given.
The details and interpretation of these matters are found in the hadith.


If a muhrim (one in the state of ihram) needs to shave his head due to some affliction of the head, then by consensus he may shave his head, but he must give expiation (fidyah): either fast for three days, or feed six needy people—providing each needy person with half a sa‘ of food—or offer a sacrifice of a goat.
According to the three Imams—Imam Malik (rahimahullah), Imam Shafi‘i (rahimahullah), and Imam Ahmad (rahimahullah)—and the hadith scholars (muhaddithin, rahimahumullah), half a sa‘ of any type of grain or produce must be given.
But according to Imam Abu Hanifah (rahimahullah), half a sa‘ of wheat is to be given, while for other grains a full sa‘ must be given,
even though the hadith explicitly mentions three sa‘ of dates.
That is, half a sa‘ of dates should be given to each needy person, and the Imams agree that there is no required order between sacrifice, charity, and fasting: if one cannot offer a sacrifice, then he may fast; if he cannot fast, then he may give charity.
Rather, there is a choice—he may do whichever of the three he wishes.
