Rafi' bin Khadij reported: We used to say the afternoon prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , and then the camel was slaughtered and ten parts of it were distributed; then it was cooked and then we ate this cooked meat before the sinking of the sun.

Rafi' bin Khadij reported: We used to observe the evening prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and then one of us would go away and he could see the (distant) place where his arrow would fall.

A hadith like this, i. e." We used to observe evening prayer...." so on and so forth, has been narrated by Rafi' bin Khadij by another chain of transmitters.

Rafi' bin Khadij reported that the Messenger of Allah; (ﷺ) gave to Abu Sufyan (RA) bin Harb and Safwan. bin Umayya and 'Uyaina bin Hisn and Aqra' bin Habis, i. e. to every one of these persons, one hundred of camels, and gave to 'Abbas bin Mirdas less than this number. Upon this 'Abbas bin Mirdis said: You allot the share of my booty and that of my horse between 'Uyaina and Aqra'. Both Uyaina and Aqra' are in no way more eminent than Mirdas (my father) in the assembly. I am in no way inferior to any one of these persons. And he who is let down today would not be elevated. He (the narrator) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then completed one hundred camels for him.

Rafi' bin Khadij reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Ibrahim declared Makkah as sacred and I declare sacred the area between its two stony grounds (lava lands by which he meant Madinah).

Nafi' bin Jubair reported that Marwan bin al-Hakam (RA) addressed people and made mention of Makkah and its inhabitants and its sacredness, but he made no mention of Madinah, its inhabitants and its sacredness. Rafi' bin Khadij called to him and said: What is this that I hear you making mention of Makkah and its inhabitants and its sacredness, but you did not make mention of Madinah and its inhabitants and its sacredness, while the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) has also declared sacred (the area) between its two lava lands (Madinah)? And (we have record of this) with us written on Khaulani parchment. If you like, I can read it out to you. Thereupon Marwan became silent, and then said: I too have heard some part of it.

Sahl bin Abu Hathma reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having forbidden Muzabana, i. e. exchange of fresh dates with dry dates. except in case of those to whom donations of some trees have been made. It is for them that concession has been given.

Zaid bin Amr reported: I heard Ibn 'Umar (RA) say: We did not see any harm in renting of the land, but as the first year was over Rafi' alleged Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) having forbidden that.

Nafi reported that Ibn 'Umar (RA) rented his land during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and during the caliphate of Abu Bakr (RA) and that of Umar and that of 'Uthman (RA) and during the early period of Muawiya's caliphate until at the end of Muawiya's reign, it reached him (Ibn 'Umar) that Rafi bin Khadij (RA) narratted (a hadith) in which (there was a decree) of prohibition by Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . He (Ibn 'Umar) went to him (Rafi bin Khadij) and I was with him and he asked him, whereupon he said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to forbid the renting of land. So Ibn 'Umar (RA) abandoned it, and subsequently whenever he was asked about it, he said: Rafi bin Khadij (RA) alleged that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade it.

Nafi reported: I went to Rafi bin Khadij in the company of Ibn 'Umar (All be pleased with them) until he (Ibn 'Umar) came to him at Balat (a place near Prophet's Mosque at Madinah) and he (Rafi bin Khadij) informed him that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had forbidden the renting of land.

Nafi, reported from Ibn 'Umar (RA) (Allah be pleated with them) that he came to Rafi and he narrated this hadith from Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) .

Nafi, reported that Ibn 'Umar (RA) used to rent the land, and that he was conveyed the hadith transmitted on the authority of Rafi bin Khadij. He (the narrator) said: He then went to him along with me. He (Rafi) narrated from some of his uncles in which it was mentioned that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) forbade the renting of land. Ibn 'Umar (RA) then abandoned this practice of renting.

Salim bin'Abdullah reported that AbduUah bin 'Umar (RA) used to give land on rent until (this news) reached him that Rafi bin Khadij Ansari used to forbid the renting of land.'Abdullah met him and said: Ibn Khadij, what is this that you narrate from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) pertaining to renting of land? Rafi bin Khadij said to'Abdullah (RA) : I heard it from two uncles of mine and they had participated in the Battle of Badr who narrated to the members of the family that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the renting of land.'Abdullah said: I knew it that the land was rented during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) .'Abdullah then apprehended that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) might have said something new in this connection (in regard to prohibition of renting) which I failed to know. So he abandoned the renting of land.

Rafi bin Khadij (RA) reported: We used to give on rent land during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . We rented it on the share of one-third or one-fourth of the (produce) along with a definite quantity of corn. One day a person from among my uncles came to us and said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade us this act which was a source of benefit to us, but the obedience to Allah and to His Messenger (ﷺ) is more beneficial to us. He forbade us that we should rent land with one-third or one-fourth of (the produce) and the corn of a measure, and he commanded the owner of land that he should cultivate it or let it be cultivated by other (persons) but he showed disapproval of renting it or anything besides it.

Rafi bin Khadij (RA) reported: We used to give land on rent, and we rented it on one-third or one-fourth share. The rest of the hadith is the same.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Rafi' bin Khadij with the same chain of transmitters, but in it no mention is made of some of his uncles.

Rafi (RA) reported that Zuhair bin Rafi (who was his uncle) came to me and said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade a practice which was useful for us. I said: What is this? (I believe) that whatrver Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) says is absolutely true. He (Zuhair) said that he (the Holy Prophet) asked me: What do you do with your cultivable lands? I said: Allah's Messenger, we rent those irrigated by canals for dry dates or barley. He said: Don't do that. Cultivate them or let them be cultivated (by others) or retain them yourself.

This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Rafi from the Prophet (ﷺ) about this, but he did not make mention of his uncle Zuhair.

Hanzala bin Qais reported that he asked Rafi bin Khadij (RA) about renting of land, whereupon he said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the renting of land. I said: Is it forbidden (even if it is paid) in gold (dinar) and silver (dirham)? Thereupon he said: If it is paid in gold and silver, there is no harm in it.

Hanzala bin Qais al-Ansri reported: I asked Rafi' bin Khadij about the renting of land for gold and silver, whereupon he said: There is no harm in it for the people let out land situated near canals and at the ends of the streamlets or portion of fields. (But it so happened) that at times this was destroyed and that was saved. whereas (on other occasions) this portion was saved and the other was destroyed and thus no rent was payable to the people (who let out lands) but for this one (which was saved). It was due to this that he (the Holy Prophet) prohibited it. But if there is something definite and reliable (e. g. money). there is no harm in it.

Hanzala reported that he heard Rafi' bin Khadij (RA) say: We were the major agriculturists of the Ansar and so we let out land (saying): The produce of this (part of land) would be ours and (the produce) of that would be theirs. But it so happened that at times this (land) gave harvest, but the other one produced nothing. So he (the Holy Prophet) forbade this. But so far as the payment in silver (dirham, a coin) is concerned, he did not forbid.

Rafi bin Khadij (RA) reported: I heard Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: The worst earning is the earning of a prostitute, the price of a dog and the earning of a cupper.

Rafi bin Khadij reported Allah'& Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The price of a dog is evil, the earning of a prostitute is evil and the earning of a cupper is evil.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Rafi' b. Khadij through another chain of transmitters.

This hadith has been narrated from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) through other chains of transmitters.

Sahl. bin Abu Hathma and Rafi' bin Khadij reported that Muhayyisa bin Mas'ud and 'Abdullah bin Sahl went towards Khaibar and they separated near the palm-trees. 'Abdullah bin Sahl was killed. They accused the Jews (for this act). And there came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) his brother (the brother of the slain person) 'Abdul Rahman and his cousins Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa; and 'Abdul Rahman talked to him about the matter pertaining to (the murder of) his brother, and he was the youngest among them. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Show regard for the greatness of the old, or he said: Let the eldest begin speaking. Then they (Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa) spoke about the matter of their companion (murder of their cousin, 'Abdullah bin Sahl). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Let fifty (persons) among you take oath for levelling the charge (of murder) against a person amongst them, and he would be surrendered to you. They said: We have not witnessed this matter ourselves. How can we then take oath? He (the Holy Prophet) said: The Jews will exonerate themselves by the oaths of fifty of them. They said: Messenger of Allah, they are non-believing people. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) paid the blood wit for him. Sahl said: As one day I entered the fold a she-camel amongst those camels hit me with its leg.

Rafi' bin Khadij is reported to have said: Allah's Messenger, we are going to encounter the enemy tomorrow, but we have no knives with us. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: Make haste or be careful (in making arrangements for procuring knives) which would let the blood flow (and along with it) the name of Allah is also to be recited. Then eat, but not the tooth or nail. And I am going to tell you why it is not permissible to slaughter the animal with the help of tooth and bone; and as for the nail. it is a bone, and the bone is the knife of Abyssinians. He (the narrator) said: There fell to our lot as spoils of war camels and goats, and one of the camels among them became wild. A person (amongst usl struck It with an arrow which brought it under control. whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: This camel became wild like wild animals, so if you find any animal getting wild, you do the same with that

Rafi' bin Khadij reported: While we were with Allah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) in Dhu'I-Hulaifa in Tihama, we got hold of goats and camels. Some persons (amongst us) made haste and boiled (the flesh of goats and camels) in their earthen pots. He then commanded and these were turned over; then he equalised ten goats for a camel. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Rafi' bin Khadij reported from his grandfather that he said: Allah's Messenger, we are going to encounter the enemy tomorrow, but we do not have long knives with us, should we then slaughter them with the peel of the reed? The rest of the hadith is the same. (And at the end the words are):" A camel became wild (and got out of our control). We attacked it with arrows until we made it fall down."

Rafi' bin Khadij reported that he said: Allah's Messenger, we are going to encounter the enemy tomorrow. and we do not have large knives with us. The rest of the hadith is the same, but no mention is made of this:" The people hastened and they boiled (flesh) in the earthen pots. He (the Holy Prophet), cammanded and these were turned over and the narrator narrated the whole event.

Rafi' bin Khadij reported: I heard Allah's messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The fever is due to the intense heat of the Hell, so cool it with water.

Rafi' bin Khadij reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The fever is due to the intense heat of Hell, so cool it down in your (bodies) with water. Aba Bakr has made no mention of the word "from you" ('ankum), but he said that Rafi' bin Khadij had informed him of it.

Rafi' bin Khadij reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to Madinah and the people had been grafting the trees. He said: What are you doing? They said: We are grafting them, whereupon he said: It may perhaps be good for you if you do not do that, so they abandoned this practice (and the date-palms) began to yield less fruit. They made a mention of it (to the Holy Prophet), whereupon he said: I am a human being, so when I command you about a thing pertaining to religion, do accept it, and when I command you about a thing out of my personal opinion, keep it in mind that I am a human being. 'Ikrima reported that he said something like this.
