Translation
of Sahih Bukhari, Book 50:
Volume 3, Book 50, Number 874:
Narrated Marwan and al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
(from the companions of Allah's Apostle) When Suhail bin Amr agreed to the
Treaty (of Hudaibiya), one of the things he stipulated then, was that the
Prophet should return to them (i.e. the pagans) anyone coming to him from their
side, even if he was a Muslim; and would not interfere between them and that
person. The Muslims did not like this condition and got disgusted with it.
Suhail did not agree except with that condition. So, the Prophet agreed to that
condition and returned Abu Jandal to his father Suhail bin 'Amr. Thenceforward
the Prophet returned everyone in that period (of truce) even if he was a
Muslim. During that period some believing women emigrants including Um Kalthum
bint Uqba bin Abu Muait who came to Allah's Apostle and she was a young lady
then. Her relative came to the Prophet and asked him to return her, but the
Prophet did not return her to them for Allah had revealed the following Verse
regarding women:
"O you who believe! When the believing women come to you as emigrants.
Examine them, Allah knows best as to their belief, then if you know them for
true believers, Send them not back to the unbelievers, (for) they are not
lawful (wives) for the disbelievers, Nor are the unbelievers lawful (husbands)
for them (60.10)
Narrated 'Urwa: Aisha told me, "Allah's Apostle used to examine them
according to this Verse: "O you who believe! When the believing women come
to you, as emigrants test them . . . for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful." (60.10-12) Aisha said, "When any of them agreed to that
condition Allah's Apostle would say to her, 'I have accepted your pledge of
allegiance.' He would only say that, but, by Allah he never touched the hand of
any women (i.e. never shook hands with them) while taking the pledge of
allegiance and he never took their pledge of allegiance except by his words
(only)."

Narrated Urwa:
Aisha told me that Buraira came to seek her help in writing for emancipation
and at that time she had not paid any part of her price. 'Aisha said to her,
"Go to your masters and if they agree that I will pay your price (and free
you) on condition that your Wala' will be for me, I will pay the money."
Buraira told her masters about that, but they refused, and said, "If
'Aisha wants to do a favor she could, but your Wala will be for us." Aisha
informed Allah's Apostle of that and he said to her, "Buy and manumit
Buraira as the Wala' will go to the manumitted."

Number 879:
Narrated Jabir:
While I was riding a (slow) and tired camel, the Prophet passed by and beat
it and prayed for Allah's Blessings for it. The camel became so fast as it had
never been before. The Prophet then said, "Sell it to me for one Uqiyya (of
gold)." I said, "No." He again said, "Sell it to me for one
Uqiyya (of gold)." I sold it and stipulated that I should ride it to my
house. When we reached (Medina) I took that camel to the Prophet and he gave me
its price. I returned home but he sent for me (and when I went to him) he said,
"I will not take your camel. Take your camel as a gift for you."
(Various narrations are mentioned here with slight variations in expressions
relating the condition that Jabir had the right to ride the sold camel up to
Medina).

Allah's Apostle said, "From among all the conditions which you have to
fulfill, the conditions which make it legal for you to have sexual relations

Volume 3, Book 50,
Number 883:
Narrated Rafi bin Khadij:
We used to work on the fields more than the other Ansar, and we used to rent
the land (for the yield of a specific portion of it). But sometimes that
portion or the rest of the land did not give any yield, so we were forbidden
(by the Prophet ) to follow such a system, but we were allowed to rent the land
for money.

Number 884:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "No town-dweller should sell for a bedouin. Do not
practice Najsh (i.e. Do not offer a high price for a thing which you do not
want to buy, in order to deceive the people). No Muslim should offer more for a
thing already bought by his Muslim brother, nor should he demand the hand of a
girl already engaged to another Muslim. A Muslim woman shall not try to bring
about The divorce of her sister (i.e. another Muslim woman) in order to take
her place herself."
Volume 3, Book 50,
Number 885:
Narrated Abu Huraira and Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
A bedouin came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's apostle! I ask
you by Allah to judge My case according to Allah's Laws." His opponent,
who was more learned than he, said, "Yes, judge between us according to
Allah's Laws, and allow me to speak." Allah's Apostle said,
"Speak." He (i .e. the bedouin or the other man) said, "My son
was working as a laborer for this (man) and he committed illegal sexual
intercourse with his wife. The people told me that it was obligatory that my
son should be stoned to death, so in lieu of that I ransomed my son by paying
one hundred sheep and a slave girl. Then I asked the religious scholars about
it, and they informed me that my son must be lashed one hundred lashes, and be
exiled for one year, and the wife of this (man) must be stoned to death."
Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, I will judge
between you according to Allah's Laws. The slave-girl and the sheep are to be
returned to you, your son is to receive a hundred lashes and be exiled for one
year. You, Unais, go to the wife of this (man) and if she confesses her guilt,
stone her to death." Unais went to that woman next morning and she
confessed. Allah's Apostle ordered that she be stoned to death.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle forbade (1) the meeting of the caravan (of goods) on the
way, (2) and that a residing person buys for a bedouin, (3) and that a woman
stipulates the divorce of the wife of the would-be husband, (4) and that a man
tries to cause the cancellation of a bargain concluded by another. He also
forbade An-Najsh (see Hadith 824) and that one withholds the milk in the udder
of the animal so that he may deceive people on selling it.
Volume 3, Book 50,
Number 888:
Narrated Ubai bin Kab:
Allah's Apostle said, "Moses the Apostle of Allah," and then he
narrated the whole story about him. Al-Khadir said to Moses, "Did not I
tell you that you can have no patience with me." (18.72). Moses then
violated the agreement for the first time because of forgetfulness, then Moses
promised that if he asked Al-Khadir about anything, the latter would have the
right to desert him. Moses abided by that condition and on the third occasion
he intentionally asked Al-Khadir and caused that condition to be applied. The
three occasions referred to above are referred to by the following Verses:
"Call me not to account for forgetting And be not hard upon me."
(18.73)
"Then they met a boy and Khadir killed him." (18.74)
"Then they proceeded and found a wall which was on the verge of falling
and Khadir set it up straight." (18.77)

Number 889:
Narrated Urwa:
Aisha said, "Buraira came to me and said, 'My people (masters) have
written the contract for my emancipation for nine Awaq ) of gold) to be paid in
yearly installments, one Uqiyya per year; so help me." Aisha said (to
her), "If your masters agree, I will pay them the whole sum provided the
Wala will be for me." Buraira went to her masters and told them about it,
but they refused the offer and she returned from them while Allah's Apostles
was sitting. She said, "I presented the offer to them, but they refused
unless the Wala' would be for them." When the Prophet heard that and
'Aisha told him about It, he said to her, "Buy Buraira and let them
stipulate that her Wala' will be for them, as the Wala' is for the manumitted."
'Aisha did so. After that Allah's Apostle got up amidst the people, Glorified
and Praised Allah and said, "What is wrong with some people who stipulate
things which are not in Allah's Laws? Any condition which is not in Allah's
Laws is invalid even if there were a hundred such conditions. Allah's Rules are
the most valid and Allah's Conditions are the most solid. The Wala is for the
manumitted."
Volume 3, Book 50,
Number 890:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
When the people of Khaibar dislocated Abdullah bin Umar's hands and feet,
Umar got up delivering a sermon saying, "No doubt, Allah's Apostle made a
contract with the Jews concerning their properties, and said to them, 'We allow
you (to stand in your land) as long as Allah allows you.' Now Abdullah bin Umar
went to his land and was attacked at night, and his hands and feet were
dislocated, and as we have no enemies there except those Jews, they are our
enemies and the only people whom we suspect, I have made up my mind to exile
them." When Umar decided to carry out his decision, a son of Abu
Al-Haqiq's came and addressed 'Umar, "O chief of the believers, will you
exile us although Muhammad allowed us to stay at our places, and made a
contract with us about our properties, and accepted the condition of our residence
in our land?" 'Umar said, "Do you think that I have forgotten the
statement of Allah's Apostle, i.e.: What will your condition be when you are
expelled from Khaibar and your camel will be carrying you night after
night?" The Jew replied, "That was joke from Abu-l-Qasim." 'Umar
said, "O the enemy of Allah! You are telling a lie." 'Umar then drove
them out and paid them the price of their properties in the form of fruits,
money, camel saddles and ropes, etc."
Volume 3, Book 50,
Number 891:
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama and Marwan:
(whose narrations attest each other) Allah's Apostle set out at the time of
Al-Hudaibiya (treaty), and when they proceeded for a distance, he said,
"Khalid bin Al-Walid leading the cavalry of Quraish constituting the front
of the army, is at a place called Al-Ghamim, so take the way on the
right." By Allah, Khalid did not perceive the arrival of the Muslims till
the dust arising from the march of the Muslim army reached him, and then he
turned back hurriedly to inform Quraish. The Prophet went on advancing till he
reached the Thaniyya (i.e. a mountainous way) through which one would go to
them (i.e. people of Quraish). The she-camel of the Prophet sat down. The
people tried their best to cause the she-camel to get up but in vain, so they
said, "Al-Qaswa' (i.e. the she-camel's name) has become stubborn!
Al-Qaswa' has become stubborn!" The Prophet said, "Al-Qaswa' has not
become stubborn, for stubbornness is not her habit, but she was stopped by Him
Who stopped the elephant." Then he said, "By the Name of Him in Whose
Hands my soul is, if they (i.e. the Quraish infidels) ask me anything which
will respect the ordinances of Allah, I will grant it to them."
The Prophet then rebuked the she-camel and she got up. The Prophet changed
his way till he dismounted at the farthest end of Al-Hudaibiya at a pit (i.e.
well) containing a little water which the people used in small amounts, and in
a short while the people used up all its water and complained to Allah's
Apostle; of thirst. The Prophet took an arrow out of his arrow-case and ordered
them to put the arrow in that pit. By Allah, the water started and continued
sprouting out till all the people quenched their thirst and returned with
satisfaction. While they were still in that state, Budail bin Warqa-al-Khuza'i
came with some persons from his tribe Khuza'a and they were the advisers of
Allah's Apostle who would keep no secret from him and were from the people of
Tihama. Budail said, "I left Kab bin Luai and 'Amir bin Luai residing at
the profuse water of Al-Hudaibiya and they had milch camels (or their women and
children) with them, and will wage war against you, and will prevent you from
visiting the Kaba." Allah's Apostle said, "We have not come to fight
anyone, but to perform the 'Umra. No doubt, the war has weakened Quraish and
they have suffered great losses, so if they wish, I will conclude a truce with
them, during which they should refrain from interfering between me and the
people (i.e. the 'Arab infidels other than Quraish), and if I have victory over
those infidels, Quraish will have the option to embrace Islam as the other
people do, if they wish; they will at least get strong enough to fight. But if
they do not accept the truce, by Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I will fight
with them defending my Cause till I get killed, but (I am sure) Allah will
definitely make His Cause victorious." Budail said, "I will inform
them of what you have said." So, he set off till he reached Quraish and
said, "We have come from that man (i.e. Muhammad) whom we heard saying
something which we will disclose to you if you should like." Some of the
fools among Quraish shouted that they were not in need of this information, but
the wiser among them said, "Relate what you heard him saying." Budail
said, "I heard him saying so-and-so," relating what the Prophet had
told him.
Urwa bin Mas'ud got up and said, "O people! Aren't you the sons? They
said, "Yes." He added, "Am I not the father?" They said,
"Yes." He said, "Do you mistrust me?" They said,
"No." He said, "Don't you know that I invited the people of
'Ukaz for your help, and when they refused I brought my relatives and children
and those who obeyed me (to help you)?" They said, "Yes." He
said, "Well, this man (i.e. the Prophet) has offered you a reasonable
proposal, you'd better accept it and allow me to meet him." They said,
"You may meet him." So, he went to the Prophet and started talking to
him. The Prophet told him almost the same as he had told Budail. Then Urwa
said, "O Muhammad! Won't you feel any scruple in extirpating your
relations? Have you ever heard of anyone amongst the Arabs extirpating his
relatives before you? On the other hand, if the reverse should happen, (nobody
will aid you, for) by Allah, I do not see (with you) dignified people, but
people from various tribes who would run away leaving you alone." Hearing
that, Abu Bakr abused him and said, "Do you say we would run and leave the
Prophet alone?" Urwa said, "Who is that man?" They said,
"He is Abu Bakr." Urwa said to Abu Bakr, "By Him in Whose Hands
my life is, were it not for the favor which you did to me and which I did not
compensate, I would retort on you." Urwa kept on talking to the Prophet
and seizing the Prophet's beard as he was talking while Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba
was standing near the head of the Prophet, holding a sword and wearing a
helmet. Whenever Urwa stretched his hand towards the beard of the Prophet,
Al-Mughira would hit his hand with the handle of the sword and say (to Urwa),
"Remove your hand from the beard of Allah's Apostle." Urwa raised his
head and asked, "Who is that?" The people said, "He is
Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba." Urwa said, "O treacherous! Am I not doing my
best to prevent evil consequences of your treachery?"
Before embracing Islam Al-Mughira was in the company of some people. He
killed them and took their property and came (to Medina) to embrace Islam. The
Prophet said (to him, "As regards your Islam, I accept it, but as for the
property I do not take anything of it. (As it was taken through treason). Urwa
then started looking at the Companions of the Prophet. By Allah, whenever
Allah's Apostle spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e.
the Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered
them they would carry his orders immediately; if he performed ablution, they
would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke to him, they
would lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of
respect. Urwa returned to his people and said, "O people! By Allah, I have
been to the kings and to Caesar, Khosrau and An-Najashi, yet I have never seen
any of them respected by his courtiers as much as Muhammad is respected by his
companions. By Allah, if he spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of
them (i.e. the Prophet's companions) who would rub it on his face and skin; if
he ordered them, they would carry out his order immediately; if he performed
ablution, they would struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke,
they would lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of
respect." Urwa added, "No doubt, he has presented to you a good
reasonable offer, so please accept it." A man from the tribe of Bani
Kinana said, "Allow me to go to him," and they allowed him, and when
he approached the Prophet and his companions, Allah's Ap le I said, "He is
so-and-so who belongs to the tribe that respects the Budn (i.e. camels of the
sacrifice). So, bring the Budn in front of him." So, the Budn were brought
before him and the people received him while they were reciting Talbiya. When
he saw that scene, he said, "Glorified be Allah! It is not fair to prevent
these people from visiting the Ka'ba." When he returned to his people, he
said, 'I saw the Budn garlanded (with colored knotted ropes) and marked (with
stabs on their backs). I do not think it is advisable to prevent them from
visiting the Ka'ba." Another person called Mikraz bin Hafs got up and sought
their permission to go to Muhammad, and they allowed him, too. When he
approached the Muslims, the Prophet said, "Here is Mikraz and he is a
vicious man." Mikraz started talking to the Prophet and as he was talking,
Suhail bin Amr came.
When Suhail bin Amr came, the Prophet said, "Now the matter has become
easy." Suhail said to the Prophet "Please conclude a peace treaty
with us." So, the Prophet called the clerk and said to him, "Write:
By the Name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful." Suhail
said, "As for 'Beneficent,' by Allah, I do not know what it means. So
write: By Your Name O Allah, as you used to write previously." The Muslims
said, "By Allah, we will not write except: By the Name of Allah, the most
Beneficent, the most Merciful." The Prophet said, "Write: By Your
Name O Allah." Then he dictated, "This is the peace treaty which
Muhammad, Allah's Apostle has concluded." Suhail said, "By Allah, if
we knew that you are Allah's Apostle we would not prevent you from visiting the
Kaba, and would not fight with you. So, write: "Muhammad bin
Abdullah." The Prophet said, "By Allah! I am Apostle of Allah even if
you people do not believe me. Write: Muhammad bin Abdullah." (Az-Zuhri
said, "The Prophet accepted all those things, as he had already said that
he would accept everything they would demand if it respects the ordinance of
Allah, (i.e. by letting him and his companions perform 'Umra.)" The
Prophet said to Suhail, "On the condition that you allow us to visit the
House (i.e. Ka'ba) so that we may perform Tawaf around it." Suhail said,
"By Allah, we will not (allow you this year) so as not to give chance to
the 'Arabs to say that we have yielded to you, but we will allow you next
year." So, the Prophet got that written.
Then Suhail said, "We also stipulate that you should return to us
whoever comes to you from us, even if he embraced your religion." The
Muslims said, "Glorified be Allah! How will such a person be returned to
the pagans after he has become a Muslim? While they were in this state Abu-
Jandal bin Suhail bin 'Amr came from the valley of Mecca staggering with his
fetters and fell down amongst the Muslims. Suhail said, "O Muhammad! This
is the very first term with which we make peace with you, i.e. you shall return
Abu Jandal to me." The Prophet said, "The peace treaty has not been
written yet." Suhail said, "I will never allow you to keep him."
The Prophet said, "Yes, do." He said, "I won't do.: Mikraz said,
"We allow you (to keep him)." Abu Jandal said, "O Muslims! Will
I be returned to the pagans though I have come as a Muslim? Don't you see how
much I have suffered?"
Abu Jandal had been tortured severely for the Cause of Allah. Umar bin
Al-Khattab said, "I went to the Prophet and said, 'Aren't you truly the
Apostle of Allah?' The Prophet said, 'Yes, indeed.' I said, 'Isn't our Cause
just and the cause of the enemy unjust?' He said, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why
should we be humble in our religion?' He said, 'I am Allah's Apostle and I do
not disobey Him, and He will make me victorious.' I said, 'Didn't you tell us
that we would go to the Ka'ba and perform Tawaf around it?' He said, 'Yes, but
did I tell you that we would visit the Ka'ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said,
'So you will visit it and perform Tawaf around it?' " Umar further said,
"I went to Abu Bakr and said, 'O Abu Bakr! Isn't he truly Allah's
Prophet?' He replied, 'Yes.' I said, 'Then why should we be humble in our
religion?' He said, 'Indeed, he is Allah's Apostle and he does not disobey his
Lord, and He will make him victorious. Adhere to him as, by Allah, he is on the
right.' I said, 'Was he not telling us that we would go to the Kaba and perform
Tawaf around it?' He said, 'Yes, but did he tell you that you would go to the
Ka'ba this year?' I said, 'No.' He said, "You will go to Ka'ba and perform
Tawaf around it." (Az-Zuhri said, " 'Umar said, 'I performed many
good deeds as expiation for the improper questions I asked them.' ")
When the writing of the peace treaty was concluded, Allah's Apostle said to
his companions, "Get up and' slaughter your sacrifices and get your head
shaved." By Allah none of them got up, and the Prophet repeated his order
thrice. When none of them got up, he left them and went to Um Salama and told
her of the people's attitudes towards him. Um Salama said, "O the Prophet
of Allah! Do you want your order to be carried out? Go out and don't say a word
to anybody till you have slaughtered your sacrifice and call your barber to
shave your head." So, the Prophet went out and did not talk to anyone of
them till he did that, i.e. slaughtered the sacrifice and called his barber who
shaved his head. Seeing that, the companions of the Prophet got up, slaughtered
their sacrifices, and started shaving the heads of one another, and there was
so much rush that there was a danger of killing each other. Then some believing
women came (to the Prophet ); and Allah revealed the following Divine Verses:--
"O you who believe, when the believing women come to you as emigrants
examine them . . ." (60.10)
Umar then divorced two wives of his who were infidels. Later on Muawiya bin
Abu Sufyan married one of them, and Safwan bin Umaya married the other. When
the Prophet returned to Medina, Abu Basir, a new Muslim convert from Quraish
came to him. The Infidels sent in his pursuit two men who said (to the Prophet
), "Abide by the promise you gave us." So, the Prophet handed him
over to them. They took him out (of the City) till they reached Dhul-Hulaifa
where they dismounted to eat some dates they had with them. Abu Basir said to one
of them, "By Allah, O so-and-so, I see you have a fine sword." The
other drew it out (of the scabbard) and said, "By Allah, it is very fine
and I have tried it many times." Abu Bair said, "Let me have a look
at it."
When the other gave it to him, he hit him with it till he died, and his
companion ran away till he came to Medina and entered the Mosque running. When
Allah's Apostle saw him he said, "This man appears to have been
frightened." When he reached the Prophet he said, "My companion has
been murdered and I would have been murdered too." Abu Basir came and
said, "O Allah's Apostle, by Allah, Allah has made you fulfill your
obligations by your returning me to them (i.e. the Infidels), but Allah has
saved me from them." The Prophet said, "Woe to his mother! what
excellent war kindler he would be, should he only have supporters." When
Abu Basir heard that he understood that the Prophet would return him to them
again, so he set off till he reached the seashore. Abu Jandal bin Suhail got
himself released from them (i.e. infidels) and joined Abu Basir. So, whenever a
man from Quraish embraced Islam he would follow Abu Basir till they formed a
strong group. By Allah, whenever they heard about a caravan of Quraish heading
towards Sham, they stopped it and attacked and killed them (i.e. infidels) and
took their properties. The people of Quraish sent a message to the Prophet
requesting him for the Sake of Allah and Kith and kin to send for (i.e. Abu
Basir and his companions) promising that whoever (amongst them) came to the
Prophet would be secure. So the Prophet sent for them (i.e. Abu Basir's
companions) and Allah I revealed the following Divine Verses:
"And it is He Who Has withheld their hands from you and your hands From
them in the midst of Mecca, After He made you the victorious over them. . . .
the unbelievers had pride and haughtiness, in their hearts . . . the pride and
haughtiness of the time of ignorance." (48.24-26) And their pride and
haughtiness was that they did not confess (write in the treaty) that he (i.e.
Muhammad) was the Prophet of Allah and refused to write: "In the Name of
Allah, the most Beneficent, the Most Merciful," and prevented the Mushriks
from visiting the Ka'ba.
Narrated Az-Zuhri: Urwa said, "Aisha told me that Allah's Apostle used
to examine the women emigrants. We have been told also that when Allah revealed
the order that the Muslims should return to the pagans what they had spent on
their wives who emigrated (after embracing Islam) and that the Mushriks should
not. keep unbelieving women as their wives, 'Umar divorced two of his wives,
Qariba, the daughter of Abu Urhaiya and the daughter of Jarwal Al-Khuza'i.
Later on Mu'awlya married Qariba and Abu Jahm married the other."
When the pagans refused to pay what the Muslims had spent on their wives,
Allah revealed: "And if any of your wives have gone from you to the
unbelievers and you have an accession (By the coming over of a woman from the
other side) (Then pay to those whose wives have gone) The equivalent of what
they had spent (On their Mahr)." (60.11)
So, Allah ordered that the Muslim whose wife, has gone, should be given, as
a compensation of the Mahr he had given to his wife, from the Mahr of the wives
of the pagans who had emigrated deserting their husbands.
We do not know any of the women emigrants who deserted Islam after embracing
it. We have also been told that Abu Basir bin Asid Ath-Thaqafi came to the
Prophet as a Muslim emigrant during the truce. Al-Akhnas bin Shariq wrote to
the Prophet requesting him to return Abu Basir.

one-thousand Dinars, and the Israeli lent him the sum for a certain fixed
period.
Volume 3, Book 50,
Number 893:
Narrated Amra:
Aisha said that Buraira came to seek her help in the writing of her
emancipation. 'Aisha said to her, "If you wish, I will pay your masters
(your price) and the wala' will be for me." When Allah's Apostle came, she
told him about it. The Prophet said to her, "Buy her (i.e. Buraira) and
manumit her, for the Wala is for the one who manumits." Then Allah's
Apostle ascended the pulpit and said, "What about those people who
stipulate conditions which are not in Allah's Laws? Whoever stipulates such
conditions as are not in Allah's Laws, then those conditions are invalid even
if he stipulated a hundred such conditions."

Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Umar bin Khattab got some land in Khaibar and he went to the Prophet to consult
him about it saying, "O Allah' Apostle got some land in Khaibar better
than which I have never had, what do you suggest that I do with it?" The
Prophet said, "If you like you can give the land as endowment and give its
fruits in charity." So Umar gave it in charity as an endowment on the
condition that would not be sold nor given to anybody as a present and not to
be inherited, but its yield would be given in charity to the poor people, to
the Kith and kin, for freeing slaves, for Allah's Cause, to the travelers and
guests; and that there would be no harm if the guardian of the endowment ate
from it according to his need with good intention, and fed others without
storing it for the future."
