"This document (agreement) has been written by so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so among themselves. Each one of them has acknowledged, for the sake of his other companions whose names are mentioned in this document, all its contents, in the state of validity and execution of the matters. Among us four, there was partnership and sharing in dealings, trades, buying and selling, all kinds of wealth, and all kinds of transactions. Similarly, among us, there were ongoing dealings of loans, exchange, trusts, drafts, mudarabah, lending, and borrowing, leasing, farming, and sharecropping. Now, all of us have, with mutual consent, terminated this. Whatever partnership and sharing in wealth and dealings that existed among us until now, we have all annulled, regardless of their type or nature. We have separately stated the limit and amount of each, and have ascertained what was true and correct, and each one has received or taken full possession of his due right. Now, none of us has any claim or demand against any companion whose names are in this document (agreement), or because of it, or in the name of another, against anyone else. Because each one has received his full right and taken it into his possession, this acknowledgment has been made by so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so, and so-and-so."

Allah Almighty has said: «ولا يحل لكم أن تأخذوا مما آتيتموهن شيئا إلا أن يخافا ألا يقيما حدود اللہ فإن خفتم ألا يقيما حدود اللہ فلا جناح عليهما فيما افتدت به» "It is not lawful for you to take back anything from what you have given to women, except when both fear that they will not be able to keep within the limits set by Allah. Then if you fear that they will not be able to keep within the limits set by Allah, there is no blame upon the woman if she gives something to release herself." (Al-Baqarah: 229)

This is the document (agreement) which the daughter of so-and-so, so-and-so, has written in a state of sound health and with full authority, for the son of so-and-so, so-and-so. I was your wife, you were with me, had relations with me, and consummated the marriage. Then your companionship became unpleasant to me and I preferred to separate from you. You did not harm me in any way nor did you withhold any of my due rights. I requested you, when I feared that we would not be able to properly uphold the limits set by Allah, to grant me khul‘ and give me an irrevocable divorce in exchange for the full dower that you owed me, which is such-and-such pure dinars of such-and-such weight, and in addition to the dower, such-and-such pure dinars of such-and-such weight. Then you fulfilled my request and gave me an irrevocable divorce in exchange for the full dower that was due to me and whose amount is written in this document, and in addition to those dinars whose number is recorded herein. Then I accepted this from you in your presence while you were addressing me and I was responding to you, before we finished this conversation, and I gave you all those dinars whose number is recorded in this document and for which you granted the khul‘, apart from the dower. Now I am separated from you and have become the owner of my own will, due to the khul‘ mentioned above. Now you have no authority over me, nor any right of claim or return. And I have taken from you all my rights that a woman like me has over a husband like you as long as I was in your wedlock, and I have received all the rights that a divorced woman like me is entitled to and which a husband like you is obliged to give. Now, if either of us presents any right, claim, or demand of any kind against the other, all such claims are false and the one against whom the claim is made is completely free of it. Each of us has accepted the other's acknowledgment and discharge (release) as mentioned in this document at the time of mutual questioning before we finished this conversation or left the gathering where this agreement is being written between us as husband and wife.

Allah, the Exalted, has said: «والذين يبتغون الكتاب مما ملكت أيمانكم فكاتبوهم إن علمتم فيهم خيرا‏‏» "And those of your slaves who seek a written contract (for freedom), give them such a contract if you find any good in them." (An-Nur: 33) 1. This is the document (agreement) which so-and-so, son of so-and-so, has written in a state of health and with full authority for his slave who is from Nobah (the name of a country), whose name is so-and-so, and who until today is in his ownership and under his authority: I have made a contract of manumission with you for three thousand good and genuine dirhams, each weighing seven mithqals, to be paid in installments over six consecutive years. The first installment will be paid upon sighting the moon in such-and-such month of such-and-such year. If you pay the specified amount in equal installments as stated in this document, you will be free, and you will receive all the rights that free people have, and all the obligations that are upon them will be upon you. If you violate this document in the slightest, this contract will be null and void, and you will return to a life of slavery. No new contract of manumission will be written regarding this matter. I have accepted your contract according to the conditions mentioned in this document before we finish our conversation or leave the gathering in which this document was written. The agreement was made by so-and-so and so-and-so.

‘This is the document (agreement)’ which so-and-so son of so-and-so son of so-and-so has written for his slave who is a (metal polisher), baker, and cook, whose name is so-and-so, and who until today has been in my ownership and possession, that I have made you a mudabbar (i.e., to be freed after my death) for the sake of Allah’s pleasure and in hope of His reward. So you are free after my death; after my death, no one has any authority over you except for the wala’ (right of inheritance), for that is for me and after my death for my heirs. So-and-so son of so-and-so has acknowledged that whatever is written in this document has been written willingly, in a state of soundness and with the authority to act. When this document was read before the witnesses mentioned in this covenant, he acknowledged it, saying: I have heard, understood, and known it, and I make Allah a witness over it, and Allah is sufficient as a witness. Then those people who are present are witnesses. So-and-so «صیقل گر» the cook, in a state of sound mind and physical health, acknowledged that whatever is mentioned in it is all correct and true.

‘This is the document’ which so-and-so son of so-and-so has written of his own free will, in a state of soundness and full control, in such-and-such year and such-and-such month, for his Roman slave whose name is so-and-so and who, until today, has been in his ownership and possession, that I have freed you for the sake of attaining nearness to Allah and seeking His great reward, a complete and unconditional freedom, with no right of retraction remaining for me. Now, for the sake of Allah and the reward of the Hereafter, you are free. Now neither I nor anyone else has any authority over you except the right of wala’ (inheritance), for that belongs to me and, after me, to my agnates.

´It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that:` The Prophet [SAW] said: "I have been commanded to fight the idolators until they bear witness to La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah) and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. If they bear witness to La ilaha illallah and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, and they pray as we pray and face our Qiblah, and eat our slaughtered animals, then their blood and wealth becomes forbidden to us except for a right that is due."
