Once the journey food diminished and the people were reduced to poverty. They went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked his permission to slaughter their camels, and he permitted them. 'Umar met them and they told him about it, and he said, "How would you survive after slaughtering your camels?" Then he went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! How would they survive after slaughtering their camels?" Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered 'Umar, "Call upon the people to bring what has remained of their food." A leather sheet was spread and all the journey food was collected and heaped over it. Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up and invoked Allâh to bless it, and then directed all the people to come with their utensils, and they started taking from it till all of them got what was sufficient for them. Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ) then said, "I testify that La ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh) and I am the Messenger of Allâh. [3:664-O.B]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When the people of Ash'arî tribe ran short of food during the holy battles, or the food of their families in Al-Madîna ran short, they would collect all their remaining food in one sheet and then distribute it among themselves equally by measuring it with a bowl. So, these people are from me, and I am from them." [3:666-0.B]

We were in the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) at Dhul-Hulaifa. The people were struck with hunger and captured some camels and sheep (as booty). The Prophet (ﷺ). was behind the people. They hurried and slaughtered the animals and put their meat in pots and started cooking it. (When the Prophet (ﷺ) [came) he ordered the pots to be upset [1] and then he distributed the animals (of the booty), regarding ten sheep as equal to one camel. One of the camels fled and the people ran after it till they were exhausted. At that time there were few horses. A man threw an arrow at the camel, and Allâh stopped the camel with it. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Some of these animals are like wild animals, so if you lose control over one of these animals, treat it in this way (i.e. shoot it with an arrow). (The narrator added:) " We were afraid that we may meet the enemy tomorrow and have no knives; [We asked the Prophet (ﷺ) ()]: ' Can we slaughter the animals with reeds?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Use whatever causes blood to flow, and eat the animals if the Name of Allâh has been mentioned on slaughtering them. Do not slaughter with teeth or fingernails and I will tell you why: It is because teeth are bones (i.e. cannot cut properly) and fingernails are the tools used by the Ethiopians (whom we should not imitate for they are infidels). ' [3:668-O.B]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever manumits his share of a jointly possessed slave, it is imperative for him to get that slave manumitted completely by paying the remaining price, and if he does not have sufficient money to manumit him, then the price of the slave should be estimated justly, and he (the slave) is to be allowed to work and earn the amount that will manumit him (without overburdening him)." [3:672-0.B]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The example of the person abiding by Allâh's Orders and Restrictions in comparison to those who violate them is like the example of those persons who drew lots for their seats in a boat. Some of them got seats in the upper part, and the others in the lower. When the latter needed water, they had to go up to bring water (and that troubled the others), so they said, 'Let us make a hole in our share of the ship (and get water) saving those who are above us from troubling them. So, if the people in the upper part left the others do what they had intended, all of them would be perished but if they prevented them (from doing so) both parties would be saved." [3:673-O.B]
