Not Using Animals as Targets

When the helmet broke on the head of the Prophet (ﷺ) and his face became covered with blood and his incisor tooth broke (i.e. during the battle of Uhud), `Ali used to bring water in his shield while Fatima was washing the blood off his face. When Fatima saw that the bleeding increased because of the water, she took a mat (of palm leaves), burnt it, and stuck it (the burnt ashes) on the wound of Allah's Apostle, whereupon the bleeding stopped.

`Abdullah bin `Umar said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Fever is from the heat of Hell, so put it out (cool it) with water.' " Nafi` added: `Abdullah used to say, "O Allah! Relieve us from the punishment," (when he suffered from fever).

Whenever a lady suffering from fever was brought to Asma' bint Abu Bakr, she used to invoke Allah for her and then sprinkle some water on her body, at the chest and say, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to order us to abate fever with water."

The same hadith has been narrated by Abu Huraira, but instead of the word laghauta the word laghita has been used. Abu Zinad (one of the narrators) says that laghita is the dialect of Abu Huraira, whereas it is laghauta.

There is a time on Friday at which no Muslim servant would pray and would ask Allah for a thing (that is good) but He would give it to him. Qutaiba pointed with the help of his hand that it (the time) is short.

"A man has more right to his own wealth when he finds it, and the buyer should pursue the one who sold it to him."

"If a woman is married off by two guardians, then the first marriage is the one that counts, and if a man sells something to two men, it belongs to the first one."

I entered upon al-Hakam b. Ayyub along with Anas. He saw some youths or boys who had set up a hen and shooting at it. Anas said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade to kill an animal in confinement.

From his father: "A women went out during the time of the Prophet (ﷺ) to go to Salat, but she was caught by a man and he had relations with her, so she screamed and he left. Then a man came across her and she said: 'That man has done this and that to me', then she came across a group of Emigrants (Muhajirin) and she said: 'That man did this and that to me.' They went to get the man she thought had relations with her, and they brought him to her. She said: 'Yes, that's him.' So they brought him to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and when he ordered that he be stoned, the man who had relations with her, said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am the one who had relations with her.' So he said to her: 'Go, for Allah has forgiven you.' Then he said some nice words to the man (who was brought). And he said to the man who had relations with her: 'Stone him.' Then he said: 'He has repented a repentance that, if the inhabitants of Al-Madinah had repented with, it would have been accepted from them.'"

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade sacrificing the Muqabalah, the Mudabarah, the Sharqa', the Kharqa' and the Jad'a'." *

"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us to examine the eyes and ears." *

I said to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Which people are most severely tested? He said: “The Prophet (ﷺ)s, then the next best and the next best. A man will be tested according to his level of religious commitment: if his religious commitment is solid, his test will be greater and if there is some weakness in his religious commitment he will be tested in accordance with his level of religious commitment. Tests will continue to befall a slave [of Allah] until he walks upon the face of the earth with not a single sin on him."

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say to ["Ali], when he left him in charge [of Madinah] during one of his campaigns. ‘Ali said: O Messenger of Allah, are you leaving me behind with the women and children? He said: "Does it not please you to be to me as Haroon was to Moosa, except there will be no Prophet (ﷺ) after me?" And I heard him say on the day of Khaibar: "I shall certainly give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him." We all hoped for it, but he said: "Call "Ali for me.” He was brought, and he had a sore eye. [The Prophet (ﷺ) ] spat in his eye and gave the banner to him, and Allah granted victory at his hands. And when this verse was revealed: "let us call our sons and your sons" (Al-"Imran 3:61], the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) called "Ali, Fatimah, Hasan and Husain, (رضي الله عنه) and said: "O Allah, these are my family.”
