Hadith 739
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ: نَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، قَالَ: نَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ زَاذَانَ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: إِذَا قَبِلَ الْقَاضِي الْهَدِيَّةَ أَكَلَ السُّحْتَ، وَإِذَا قَبِلَ الرِّشْوَةَ بَلَغَتْ بِهِ الْكُفْرَ .
Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When a judge accepts a gift, he eats usury, and when he accepts a bribe, he reaches the limit of disbelief.
Hadith 740
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ: نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأَبَحُّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: الرِّشْوَةُ فِي الْحُكْمِ كُفْرٌ، وَهِيَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ سُحْتٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Taking a bribe in judgment is disbelief, and in transactions among people, it is suht, that is, unlawful wealth.
Hadith 741
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ: نَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمَّارٍ الدُّهْنِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ عَنِ السُّحْتِ، أَهُوَ الرِّشْوَةُ فِي الْحُكْمِ، قَالَ: لَا، { وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَا أَنْـزَلَ اللهُ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْكَافِرُونَ } وَالظَّالِمُونَ، وَالْفَاسِقُونَ، وَلَكِنَّ السُّحْتَ: أَنْ يَسْتَعِينَكَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى مَظْلَمَةٍ، فَيُهْدِيَ لَكَ، فَتَقْبَلَهُ، فَذَلِكَ السُّحْتُ .
Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) about suht, that is, unlawful wealth, whether it is the bribe given in judgment? So he replied: No, ﴿And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, then they are the disbelievers﴾, ﴿the wrongdoers﴾, and ﴿the defiantly disobedient﴾—these are separate verses. But suht is that a person seeks your help in some injustice, and gives you a gift, and you accept it; so this is suht.
Hadith 742
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ: نَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَرِيفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَسَمَ شَيْئًا، فَدَعَا رَجُلًا يَحْسِبُ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: لَوْ أَعْطَيْتَهُ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: إِنْ شَاءَ، وَهُوَ سُحْتٌ .
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed some wealth, and he called a person to calculate it. Someone said: If you would give him something as well? He replied: If he wishes, he may take it, but it will be suht, that is, unlawful (haram) wealth.
Hadith 743
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ: نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَتِيقٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ يَكْرَهُ أُجُورَ الْقُسَّامِ، وَيَقُولُ: كَانُوا يَقُولُونَ: الرِّشْوَةُ عَلَى الْحُكْمِ سُحْتٌ، مَا أَرَى حُكْمًا يُؤْخَذُ عَلَيْهِ رِشْوَةٌ .
Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) disliked taking wages for distributing wealth and used to say: People used to say that taking a bribe for making a judgment is severe, that is, forbidden, and I do not see any such judgment for which taking a bribe would be permissible.
Hadith 744
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ قَالَ: كَانَ يَكْرَهُ الشَّرْطَ، وَلَا يَرَى بَأْسًا أَنْ يَقْسِمَ الرَّجُلُ لِلرَّجُلِ فَيُعْطِيهِ الشَّيْءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَرْطٍ .
Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) disliked giving wealth to someone with a condition, but if a person distributes and gives something to someone without a condition, he did not consider there to be any harm in it.
Hadith 745
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ، قَالَ: نَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: الرِّشْوَةُ فِي الْحُكْمِ سُحْتٌ، وَمَهْرُ الْبَغِيِّ، وَثَمَنُ الْكَلْبِ وَثَمَنُ الْقِرْدِ، وَثَمَنُ الْخِنْزِيرِ، وَثَمَنُ الْخَمْرِ، وَثَمَنُ الْمَيْتَةِ، وَثَمَنُ الدَّمِ، وَعَسْبُ الْفَحْلِ، وَأَجْرُ النَّائِحَةِ وَالْمُغَنِّيَةِ، وَأَجْرُ الْكَاهِنِ، وَأَجْرُ السَّاحِرِ، وَأَجْرُ الْقَائِفِ، وَثَمَنُ جُلُودِ السِّبَاعِ، وَثَمَنُ جُلُودِ الْمَيْتَةِ، فَإِذَا دُبِغَتْ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهَا، وَأَجْرُ صُوَرِ التَّمَاثِيلِ، وَهَدِيَّةُ الشَّفَاعَةِ، وَجَعِيلَةُ الْغَرَقِ .
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Taking a bribe in judgment is suht, that is, unlawful wealth. Likewise, the dowry of an immoral woman, the price of a dog, monkey, pig, alcohol, carrion, blood, the fee for mating a male animal, the wages of a mourner and a singer, a soothsayer, a magician, and a genealogist who joins lineages, the skins of predatory animals, the price of the skin of carrion—however, if the leather is purified by tanning, then there is no harm in it—the wages for making images of statues, a gift given on the basis of intercession, and a reward for retrieving a drowned person, all are included in suht.
