Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fixed the land tax (kharaj) according to the period of time.

Sayyiduna Mukhlid bin Khafaf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a slave was jointly owned by some people. Those people sold him, but one of the partners was absent. When he came, he refused to accept the transaction. Those people brought their case to Hisham bin Isma'il, so he ruled that the transaction would be annulled and that the sale should be made according to the rate of that day, and that the kharaj (revenue) should be collected. Then, the kharaj for the two years that had passed amounted to one thousand dirhams, so two slaves were sold in exchange for that slave. I went to the service of 'Urwah bin Zubair and mentioned this matter to him, so he said: Lady Aisha narrated this hadith to me: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ruled that the kharaj would be according to the period of possession. Then 'Urwah went to Hisham and informed him about this, so he annulled the transaction of those two slaves and abandoned the kharaj.

Hamzah bin Abdullah narrates from his father: At the time of the transaction, whatever is alive and gathered will be considered part of the buyer's property.

It is narrated about Talhah bin Yazid that he discussed with Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding some transactions (about their ruling), so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I have not found for you anything with more allowance than what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to Hibban bin Munqidh. His eyesight was weak, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted him to have the option to annul the transaction for three days, and if he was pleased, he could keep it, and if he did not like it, he could leave it.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that Sayyiduna Safwan bin Munqidh was an elderly man, and he had an injury on his head. Because of this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him the option that in any transaction he made, he would have the right to cancel the deal within three days. There was some stammering in his speech, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told him: "When you sell, say that there will be no deception." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: I heard him say that instead of the word "khalabah" he used to say "khazabah."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that in the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was a man who used to buy and sell, but he had some mental weakness. Once, his family came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Please stop so-and-so from making transactions, because he makes deals but he has some mental weakness." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and forbade him from making transactions. He said: "I cannot manage without buying and selling." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you must buy and sell, then say: 'This is in exchange for that, and there will be no cheating.'"

The first narration is transmitted with another chain, however, in it the words are: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you must engage in buying and selling, then say: This is in exchange for that, and no deception will be allowed." The narrator named Abdulwahab says: That is, people will not subject him to any loss.

Nafi’ reports that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) informed him that there was an Ansari whose tongue had some stammering, and he would always incur a loss in transactions. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this matter to him. The Prophet said: “When you sell something, say twice: ‘There will be no loss.’” It is narrated about Sayyiduna Munqidh bin Amr that he had received a head injury, which affected his speech, and his mental state had also changed somewhat. He used to trade, and he would always incur a loss in business. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned this matter to him. The Prophet said: “When you sell something, say: ‘There will be no loss.’ Then, for whatever goods you buy, you will have the right (of option) for three days. If after three days you are satisfied, keep it; and if you do not like it, return it to its owner.” This companion lived a very long life; he lived for one hundred and thirteen years. In the time of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), when people had spread everywhere, their numbers had increased, and there was much trading in the market, he used to buy and sell in the market at that time.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The option (of choice) remains for three days."

Hibban bin Wasi' narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that when Sayyiduna Umar was appointed as the Caliph, he said: "O people! I have considered this matter and I have found that among your transactions, the thing most similar to what was in the blessed time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the option (of choice), which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to Hibban bin Munqidh for three days, and this incident occurred regarding a slave."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Makkah is a sanctuary; it is forbidden to sell its land and it is forbidden to rent out its houses."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Allah Almighty has declared Makkah as a sanctuary; selling its land and consuming its price is forbidden." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "Whoever consumes anything from the compensation (i.e., rent) of the houses of Makkah, he will be consuming fire." Imam Abu Hanifa (may Allah have mercy on him) has transmitted this narration as a marfu' (attributed to the Prophet) narration in this manner; however, he made an error in this. His second error was that he mentioned the narrator's name as Ubaydullah bin Abi Yazid, whereas it is Ibn Abi Ziyad. The correct view is that this narration is mawquf (stopped at the companion).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: Whoever takes rent for the houses of Makkah, he puts fire into his belly. (This narration is mawquf.)

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Whoever takes rent for the houses of Makkah (then the rest of the hadith is as previously mentioned).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Makkah is a place of stay; its land cannot be sold and its houses cannot be rented." The narrator named Ismail bin Ibrahim is weak; no one else has transmitted this narration except him.

Sayyiduna Alqamah bin Nadlah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), whoever was in need would stay there, and whoever was not in need would give it to someone else to stay.

The same narration is transmitted with another chain, however, it contains this additional statement: The same used to happen during the era of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Alqamah bin Nadlah Kinani (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), the houses of Makkah were given to people; they were not sold. Whoever was in need would reside there, and whoever was not in need would leave them for others to live in.

Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him): When Makkah was conquered, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted amnesty to everyone except four men and two women. Regarding these six individuals, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if you find them clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah, kill them." (These individuals were: Ikrimah bin Abu Jahl, Abdullah bin Khatal, Muqais bin Subabah, Abdullah bin Sa'd bin Abi Sarh).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Makkah, he said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): “Call the Ansar!” So he announced: “O Ansar! Present yourselves before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).” The Ansar came, as if they had come for a prearranged meeting. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Proceed along this path; whoever tries to confront you, kill him.” Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, Allah granted him victory, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawaf of the Ka’bah, he offered two units of prayer, then exited from the door near Safa (hill), then he ascended Safa, and addressed the people. At that time, the Ansar were at the lower part of the hill. One of them said to his companion: “Now, love for his own people has been stirred in this man’s heart, and attachment to his hometown has developed.” So, regarding what the Ansar had said, Allah informed the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) through revelation. He said: “O Ansar! You have said: Now, love for his own people has been stirred in this man’s heart, and attachment to his hometown has developed.” Then he said: “Who am I? By Allah! I am truly Allah’s servant and His Messenger. My life and my death are with you.” The Ansar said: “O Messenger of Allah! By Allah! We only said this out of concern that perhaps you (peace and blessings be upon him) might separate from us.” The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “You are truthful before Allah and His Messenger.” The narrator says: By Allah! At that moment, tears were flowing from each of them down to his neck.

Abdullah bin Rabah narrates: We went to Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the form of a delegation, and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with us. One of us would prepare food, then invite his companions. One day one person would do this, the next day another would do it. When it was my turn, I said: "O Abu Hurairah! Will you narrate a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until the food arrives?" So Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Khalid bin Walid as the commander of both the right and left flanks of the army, and appointed Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) as the commander of the other part, and made Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) the commander of the rear part of the army, which was in the lower part of the valley. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Abu Hurairah! Call the Ansar to me." Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I called them, and they came quickly. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ansar! When the riffraff of Quraysh come before you tomorrow, you must crush them. Our meeting will be at Safa (hill)." The narrator says: He gestured with his hand. The next day, whoever tried to come forward for combat, they killed him. Allah granted victory to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he came to Safa (hill) and stood upon it. Abu Sufyan came to him and said: "O Messenger of Allah! If the Quraysh continue to be killed like this, after today there will be nothing left of Quraysh." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan will be safe, whoever closes the door of his house will be safe, and whoever lays down his weapons will also be safe." Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Some of the Ansar said: "Now love for his own people has been stirred in this man’s heart, and attachment to his hometown has developed." So revelation was sent down to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and he said: "O Ansar! Did you say: Now love for his own people has been stirred in this man’s heart, and attachment to his hometown has developed? Remember! I am Allah’s servant and His Messenger. I migrated towards Allah and towards you. My life and my death are with you." The narrator says: They said: "O Messenger of Allah! We said this out of love for Allah and His Messenger." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah and His Messenger affirm you and accept your excuse."

Suraqah narrates: I had to give some wealth to a person (the narrator is unsure whether the words are: I had to pay a debt to a person), that person took me to the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), so whatever wealth I had, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) sold it to that person for (the payment). The two sons of Zayd bin Aslam have narrated different things in transmitting this.

The sons of Zayd bin Aslam, Abdur Rahman and Abdullah, narrate from their father: He participated in a battle, and he heard a person calling out loudly to another: "O Saraq, O Saraq!" So Zayd bin Aslam called him and inquired: What is meant by Saraq? He replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me this name. I bought a she-camel from a Bedouin, then I hid from him, and I lost the price of the she-camel as well. The Bedouin was searching for me, so people told him: "Go to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and inform him about this." The man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! A man bought a she-camel from me and then hid from me; I could not find him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Search for him." The narrator states: That man found me and brought me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! This is the person who bought the she-camel from me and hid from me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pay him the price." So I said: "O Messenger of Allah! It has been lost from me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are Saraq!" Then he said to the Bedouin: "Go, sell him in the market and take the price of your she-camel." So the Bedouin made me stand in the market, and when my price was set, he asked the buyer: "What will you do with him?" He replied: "I will set him free." So that Bedouin set me free.

Zaid bin Aslam narrates: I saw an elderly man in Alexandria whose name was Saraq. I asked: What kind of name is this? He replied: This name was given to me by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and I will not abandon it. I asked: Why did the Prophet (peace be upon him) give you this name? He replied: I came to Madinah and informed people that my goods were arriving. Some people made deals with me, and I owed them payments. My goods were lost. Those people took me to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He said: "You are Saraq!" Then he had me sold for four she-camels. The creditors asked the buyer: "What will you do with him?" He replied: "I will set him free." So those people said: "We are in as much need of reward as you are." So together they set me free, but my name remained.

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) entered Makkah, it was asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Where will you stay, will it be in your house?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) replied: "Has Aqeel (bin Abu Talib) left any house for us? (Because) no disbeliever inherits from a Muslim, and no Muslim inherits from a disbeliever."

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Where will you camp tomorrow?" If Allah wills (the narrator states: this was on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Has Aqeel left anything for us in inheritance?" (After this, the hadith continues as previously mentioned).

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: He submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Will you stay in your house in Makkah?" So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did Aqeel leave any house or place for us?" (The narrator states) Aqeel became the heir of Abu Talib. He and Talib both (became the heirs of Abu Talib), whereas Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna Ja'far Tayyar (may Allah be pleased with them both) did not become his heirs because both of them were Muslims, and Aqeel and Talib were disbelievers. Ibn Shihab states: The people of knowledge take this meaning from Allah's statement: "Those who believed and migrated and strove in the way of Allah..." up to: "They have nothing of their guardianship." __QUR_N__ __XREF_N__ __REF_N__

This narration is also reported from Zuhri, however, it contains these additional words: (The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him,) said: "We will camp at Khayf Bani Kinana, where the Quraysh had sworn an oath to remain steadfast upon disbelief."
