If somebody peeps into the house of some people
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Abul Qasim said, "If any person peeps at you without your permission and you poke him with a stick
and injure his eye, you will not be blamed."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لَوْ أَنَّ امْرَأً اطَّلَعَ عَلَيْكَ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ فَخَذَفْتَهُ بِعَصَاةٍ فَفَقَأْتَ عَيْنَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْكَ جُنَاحٌ
Al-‘Aqila who pay the Diya
Narrated Ash-Shu`bi:
I heard Abu Juhaifa saying, "I asked `Ali 'Have you got any Divine literature apart from the Qur'an?'
(Once he said...apart from what the people have?) `Ali replied, 'By Him Who made the grain split
(germinate) and created the soul, we have nothing except what is in the Qur'an and the ability (gift) of
understanding Allah's Book which He may endow a man with and we have what is written in this
paper.' I asked, 'What is written in this paper?' He replied, 'Al-`Aql (the regulation of Diya), about the
ransom of captives, and the Judgment that a Muslim should not be killed in Qisas (equality in
punishment) for killing a disbeliever." (See Hadith No. 283,Vol. 4)
حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جُحَيْفَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَلِيًّا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَىْءٌ مَا لَيْسَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلاَّ مَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ إِلاَّ فَهْمًا يُعْطَى رَجُلٌ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَمَا فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ قُلْتُ وَمَا فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ قَالَ الْعَقْلُ وَفِكَاكُ الأَسِيرِ وَأَنْ لاَ يُقْتَلَ مُسْلِمٌ بِكَافِرٍ
The foetus of a woman
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Two women from the tribe of Hudhail (fought with each other) and one of them threw (a stone at) the
other, causing her to have a miscarriage and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave his verdict that the killer (of the
fetus) should give a male or female slave (as a Diya).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ رَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الأُخْرَى فَطَرَحَتْ جَنِينَهَا فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِيهَا بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ
The foetus of a woman
Narrated Hisham's father from Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba:
'Umar consulted the companions about the case of a woman's abortion
(caused by somebody else). Al-Mughira said: The Prophet (ﷺ) gave the
verdict that a male or female slave should be given (as a Diya). Then
Muhammad bin Maslama testified that he had witnessed the Prophet (ﷺ)
giving such a verdict.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّهُ اسْتَشَارَهُمْ فِي إِمْلاَصِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ قَضَى النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْغُرَّةِ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ فَقَالَ ائْتِ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ مَعَكَ فَشَهِدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَضَى بِهِ
The foetus of a woman
Narrated Hisham's father:
'Umar asked the people, "Who heard the Prophet (ﷺ) giving his verdict
regarding abortions?" Al-Mughira said, "I heard him judging that a
male or female slave should be given (as a Diya)." 'Umar said,
"Present a witness to testify your statement." Muhammad bin Maslama
said, "I testify that the Prophet (ﷺ) gave such a judgment."
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنْ عُمَرَ نَشَدَ النَّاسَ مَنْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَضَى فِي السِّقْطِ وَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ قَضَى فِيهِ بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ قَالَ ائْتِ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ مَعَكَ عَلَى هَذَا فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمِثْلِ هَذَا
The foetus of a woman
Narrated `Urwa:
I heard Al-Maghira bin Shu`ba narrating that `Umar had consulted them about the case of abortion
(similarly as narrated in No. 42).
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَابِقٍ حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ شُعْبَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ اسْتَشَارَهُمْ فِي إِمْلاَصِ الْمَرْأَةِ مِثْلَهُ
The Diya is to be collected from the father of the killer and his ‘Asaba but not from the killer’s children
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave a verdict regarding an aborted fetus of a woman from Bani Lihyan that the killer
(of the fetus) should give a male or female slave (as a Diya) but the woman who was required to give
the slave, died, so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave the verdict that her inheritance be given to her children and
her husband and the Diya be paid by her 'Asaba.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَضَى فِي جَنِينِ امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ بَنِي لِحْيَانَ بِغُرَّةٍ عَبْدٍ أَوْ أَمَةٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ الَّتِي قَضَى عَلَيْهَا بِالْغُرَّةِ تُوُفِّيَتْ فَقَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ مِيرَاثَهَا لِبَنِيهَا وَزَوْجِهَا وَأَنَّ الْعَقْلَ عَلَى عَصَبَتِهَا
The Diya is to be collected from the father of the killer and his ‘Asaba but not from the killer’s children
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Two women from Hudhail fought with each other and one of them hit the other with a stone that
killed her and what was in her womb. The relatives of the killer and the relatives of the victim
submitted their case to the Prophet (ﷺ) who judged that the Diya for the fetus was a male or female slave,
and the Diya for the killed woman was to be paid by the 'Asaba (near relatives) of the killer.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ اقْتَتَلَتِ امْرَأَتَانِ مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ فَرَمَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الأُخْرَى بِحَجَرٍ قَتَلَتْهَا وَمَا فِي بَطْنِهَا فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَضَى أَنَّ دِيَةَ جَنِينِهَا غُرَّةٌ عَبْدٌ أَوْ وَلِيدَةٌ وَقَضَى دِيَةَ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى عَاقِلَتِهَا
Whoever sought the help of a slave or a boy
Narrated `Abdul-`Aziz:
Anas said, "When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) arrived at Medina, Abu Talha took hold of my hand and brought
me to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger! Anas is an intelligent boy, so let him serve you."
Anas added, "So I served the Prophet (ﷺ) L at home and on journeys; by Allah, he never said to me for
anything which I did: Why have you done this like this or, for anything which I did not do: 'Why have
you not done this like this?"
حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَدِينَةَ أَخَذَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقَ بِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَنَسًا غُلاَمٌ كَيِّسٌ فَلْيَخْدُمْكَ قَالَ فَخَدَمْتُهُ فِي الْحَضَرِ وَالسَّفَرِ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَ لِي لِشَىْءٍ صَنَعْتُهُ لِمَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا هَكَذَا وَلاَ لِشَىْءٍ لَمْ أَصْنَعْهُ لِمَ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ هَذَا هَكَذَا
No Diya in cases of mines and wells
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There is no Diya for persons killed by animals or for the one who has been
killed accidentally by falling into a well or for the one killed in a mine. And one-fifth of Rikaz
(treasures buried before the Islamic era) is to be given to the state."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ الْعَجْمَاءُ جُرْحُهَا جُبَارٌ وَالْبِئْرُ جُبَارٌ وَالْمَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسُ
No Diya for the one killed by an animal
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is no Diya for a person injured or killed by an animal (going about without
somebody to control it) and similarly, there is no Diya for the one who falls and dies in a well, and
also the one who dies in a mine. As regards the Ar-Rikaz (buried wealth), one-fifth thereof is for the
state."
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ الْعَجْمَاءُ عَقْلُهَا جُبَارٌ وَالْبِئْرُ جُبَارٌ وَالْمَعْدِنُ جُبَارٌ وَفِي الرِّكَازِ الْخُمُسُ
The sin of a person who killed an innocent Dhimi
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever killed a Mu'ahid (a person who is granted the pledge of protection by the
Muslims) shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise though its fragrance can be smelt at a distance of
forty years (of traveling).
حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ حَدَّثَنَا مُجَاهِدٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسًا مُعَاهَدًا لَمْ يَرَحْ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ رِيحَهَا يُوجَدُ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ عَامًا
A Muslim should not be killed for killing a Kafir
Narrated Abu Juhaifa:
I asked `Ali "Do you have anything Divine literature besides what is in the Qur'an?" Or, as Uyaina
once said, "Apart from what the people have?" `Ali said, "By Him Who made the grain split
(germinate) and created the soul, we have nothing except what is in the Qur'an and the ability (gift) of
understanding Allah's Book which He may endow a man, with and what is written in this sheet of
paper." I asked, "What is on this paper?" He replied, "The legal regulations of Diya (Blood-money)
and the (ransom for) releasing of the captives, and the judgment that no Muslim should be killed in
Qisas (equality in punishment) for killing a Kafir (disbeliever).
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ أَنَّ عَامِرًا حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ وَحَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مُطَرِّفٌ سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جُحَيْفَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَلِيًّا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَىْءٌ مِمَّا لَيْسَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ ـ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ مَرَّةً مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ ـ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَبَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ مَا عِنْدَنَا إِلاَّ مَا فِي الْقُرْآنِ إِلاَّ فَهْمًا يُعْطَى رَجُلٌ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَمَا فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ قُلْتُ وَمَا فِي الصَّحِيفَةِ قَالَ الْعَقْلُ وَفِكَاكُ الأَسِيرِ وَأَنْ لاَ يُقْتَلَ مُسْلِمٌ بِكَافِرٍ
If a Muslim, being furious slaps a Jew
Narrated Abu Sa`id:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not prefer some prophets to others."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لاَ تُخَيِّرُوا بَيْنَ الأَنْبِيَاءِ
If a Muslim, being furious slaps a Jew
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
A Jew whose face had been slapped (by someone), came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "O Muhammad! A
man from your Ansari companions slapped me. " The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Call him". They called him and
the Prophet (ﷺ) asked him, "Why did you slap his face?" He said, "O Allah's Messenger! While I was passing
by the Jews, I heard him saying, 'By Him Who chose Moses above all the human beings.' I said
(protestingly), 'Even above Muhammad?' So I became furious and slapped him." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Do not give me preference to other prophets, for the people will become unconscious on the Day of
Resurrection and I will be the first to gain conscious, and behold, I will Find Moses holding one of the
pillars of the Throne (of Allah). Then I will not know whether he has become conscious before me or
he has been exempted because of his unconsciousness at the mountain (during his worldly life) which
he received."
