Sahih Bukhari Book 34. Sales and Trade

Narated By Abu Huraira: You people say that Abu Huraira tells many narrations from Allah’s

Apostle and you also wonder why the emigrants and Ansar do not narrate from Allah’s Apostle

as Abu Huraira does. My emigrant brothers were busy in the market while I used to stick to

Allah’s Apostle content with what fills my stomach; so I used to be present when they were

absent and I used to remember when they used to forget, and my Ansari brothers used to be

busy with their properties and I was one of the poor men of Suffa. I used to remember the

narrations when they used to forget. No doubt, Allah’s Apostle once said, “Whoever spreads his

garment till I have finished my present speech and then gathers it to himself, will remember

whatever I will say.” So, I spread my colored garment which I was wearing till Allah’s Apostle

had finished his saying, and then I gathered it to my chest. So, I did not forget any of that

narrations.

Narated By Ibrahim bin Sad from his father from his grand-father: Abdur Rahman bin Auf

said, “When we came to Medina as emigrants, Allah’s Apostle established a bond of

brotherhood between me and Sad bin Ar-Rabi’. Sad bin Ar-Rabi’ said (to me), ‘I am the richest

among the Ansar, so I will give you half of my wealth and you may look at my two wives and

whichever of the two you may choose I will divorce her, and when she has completed the

prescribed period (before marriage) you may marry her.’ Abdur-Rahman replied, “I am not in

need of all that. Is there any market-place where trade is practiced?’ He replied, “The market of

Qainuqa.” Abdur-Rahman went to that market the following day and brought some dried butter-

milk (yogurt) and butter, and then he continued going there regularly. Few days later,

‘AbdurRahman came having traces of yellow (scent) on his body. Allah’s Apostle asked him

whether he had got married. He replied in the affirmative. The Prophet said, ‘Whom have you

married?’ He replied, ‘A woman from the Ansar.’ Then the Prophet asked, ‘How much did you

pay her?’ He replied, ‘(I gave her) a gold piece equal in weigh to a date stone (or a date stone of

gold)! The Prophet said, ‘Give a Walima (wedding banquet) even if with one sheep.’”

Narated By Anas: When Abdur-Rahman bin Auf came to Medina, the Prophet established a

bond of brotherhood between him and Sad bin Ar-Rabi al-Ansari. Sad was a rich man, so he

said to ‘Abdur-Rahman, “I will give you half of my property and will help you marry.” ‘Abdur-

Rahman said (to him), “May Allah bless you in your family and property. Show me the market.”

So ‘Abdur-Rahman did not return from the market) till he gained some dried buttermilk (yoghurt)

and butter (through trading). He brought that to his house-hold. We stayed for some-time (or as

long as Allah wished), and then Abdur-Rahman came, scented with yellowish perfume. TheProphet said (to him) “What is this?” He replied, “I got married to an Ansari woman.” The

Prophet asked, “What did you pay her?” He replied, “A gold stone or gold equal to the weight of

a date stone.” The Prophet said (to him), “Give a wedding banquet even if with one sheep.”

Narated By Ibn ‘Abbas: ‘Ukaz, Majanna and Dhul-Majaz were market-places in the Pre-lslamic

period of ignorance. When Islam came, Muslims felt that marketing there might be a sin. So, the

Divine Inspiration came: “There is no harm for you to seek the bounty of your Lord (in the

seasons of Hajj).” (2.198) Ibn ‘Abbas recited the Verse in this way.

Narated By An-Nu’man bin Bashir: The Prophet said “Both legal and illegal things are

obvious, and in between them are (suspicious) doubtful matters. So who-ever forsakes those

doubtful things lest he may commit a sin, will definitely avoid what is clearly illegal; and who-

ever indulges in these (suspicious) doubtful things bravely, is likely to commit what is clearly

illegal. Sins are Allah’s Hima (i.e. private pasture) and whoever pastures (his sheep) near it, is

likely to get in it at any moment.”

and it was said (that both of you were suckled by the same woman)?” His wife was the daughter

of Abu Ihab-al-Tamimi.

Narated By ‘Aisha: Utba bin Abu Waqqas took a firm promise from his brother Sad bin Abu

Waqqas to take the son of the slave-girl of Zam’a into his custody as he was his (i.e. ‘Utba’s)

son. In the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) Sad bin Abu Waqqas took him, and said that he

was his brother’s son, and his brother took a promise from him to that effect. ‘Abu bin Zam’a got

up and said, “He is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father and was born on my

father’s bed.” Then they both went to the Prophet Sad said, “O Allah’s Apostle! He is the son of

my brother and he has taken a promise from me that I will take him.” ‘Abu bin Zam’a said, “(He

is) my brother and the son of my father’s slave-girl and was born on my father’s bed.” Allah’s

Apostle said, “The boy is for you. O ‘Abu bin Zam’a.” Then the Prophet said, “The son is for the

bed (i.e the man on whose bed he was born) and stones (disappointment and deprivation) for

the one who has done illegal sexual intercourse.” The Prophet told his wife Sauda bint Zam’a toscreen herself from that boy as he noticed a similarity between the boy and ‘Utba. So, the boy
did not see her till he died.

wood or a piece of wood provided with a piece of iron used for hunting). He replied, “If the game
is hit by its sharp edge, eat it, and if it is hit by its broad side, do not eat it, for it has been beaten
to death.” I asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! I release my dog by the name of Allah and find with it at
the game, another dog on which I have not mentioned the name of Allah, and I do not know
which one of them caught the game.” Allah’s Apostle said (to him), ‘Don’t eat it as you have
mentioned the name of Allah on your dog and not on the other dog.”

for him and on his arrival, he (Abu Musa) said, “We were ordered to do so (i.e. to leave if not

admitted after asking permission thrice). ‘Umar told him, “Bring witness in proof of your

statement.” Abu Musa went to the Ansar’s meeting places and asked them. They said, “None

amongst us will give this witness except the youngest of us, Abu Said Al-Khudri. Abu Musa then

took Abu Said Al-Khudri (to ‘Umar) and ‘Umar said, surprisingly, “Has this order of Allah’s

Apostle been hidden from me?” (Then he added), “I used to be busy trading in markets.”
