Narrated Abdullah bin Abu Aufa: A man displayed some goods in the market and took a false oath that he had been offered so much for them though he was not offered that amount Then the following Divine Verse was revealed:-- Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allahs covenant and their oaths . . . Will get painful punishment. (3.77) Ibn Abu Aufa added, Such person as described above is a treacherous Riba-eater (i.e. eater of usury). 842 Narrated Abu Wail from Abdullah: The Prophet said, Whoever takes a false oath in order to grab another mans (or his brothers) property, then Allah will be angry with him when he will meet him. Then Allah confirmed this by revealing the Divine Verse: Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allahs Covenant and their oaths . . . Will get painful punishment. (3.77) Al- Ashath met me and asked, What did Abdullah tell you today? I said, So and so. He said, The Verse was revealed regarding my case. 843 Narrated Talha bin Ubaidullah: A man came to Allahs Apostle asking him about Islam, Allahs Apostle said, You have to offer five compulsory prayers in a day and a night (24 hours). The man asked, Is there any more compulsory prayers for me? Allahs Apostle said, No, unless you like to offer Nawafil (i.e. optional prayers). Allahs Apostle then added, You have to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan. The man said, Am I to fast any other days? Allahs Apostle said, No, unless you wish to observe the optional fast voluntarily. Then Allahs Apostle told him about the compulsory Zakat. The man asked, Do I have to give anything besides? Allahs Apostle said, No, unless you wish to give in charity voluntarily. So, the man departed saying, By Allah I will neither do more nor less than that. Allahs Apostle said, If he has said the truth he will be successful. 844 Narrated Abdullah: The Prophet said, Whoever has to take an oath should swear by Allah or remain silent. (i.e. He should not swear by other than Allah.) 845 Narrated Um Salama: Once Allahs Apostle said, You people present your cases to me and some of you may be more eloquent and persuasive in presenting their argument. So, if I give some ones right to another (wrongly) because of the latters (tricky) presentation of the case, I am really giving him a piece of fire; so he should not take it. 846 Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas: Abu Sufyan told me that Heraclius said to him, When I enquired you what he (i.e. Muhammad) ordered you, you replied that he ordered you to establish the prayer, to speak the truth, to be chaste, to keep promises and to pay back trusts. Then Heraclius added, These are really the qualities of a prophet. 847 Narrated Abu Huraira: Allahs Apostle said, The signs of a hypocrite are three: (1) whenever he speaks, he tells a lie, (2) whenever he is entrusted, he proves to be dishonest, (3) whenever he promises, he breaks his promise. 848 Narrated Muhammad bin Ali: Jabir bin Abdullah said, When the Prophet died, Abu Bakr received some property from Al-Ala bin Al-Hadrami. Abu Bakr said to the people, Whoever has a money claim on the Prophet, or was promised something by him, should come to us (so that we may pay him his right). Jabir added, I said (to Abu Bakr), Allahs Apostle promised me that he would give me this much, and this much, and this much (spreading his hands three times). Jabir added, Abu Bakr counted for me and handed me five- hundred (gold pieces), and then five-hundred, and then five-hundred. 849 Narrated Said bin Jubair: A Jew from Hira asked me which one of the two periods Musa (i.e. Prophet Moses) completed. I said, I dont know, (but wait) till I see the most learned Arab and enquire him about it. So, I went to Ibn Abbas and asked him. He replied, Moses completed the longer and better period. Ibn Abbas added, No doubt, an apostle of Allah always does what he says. 850 Narrated Ubaidullah bin Abdullah bin Utba: Ibn Abbas said, O Muslims? How do you ask the people of the Scriptures, though your Book (i.e. the Quran) which was revealed to His Prophet is the most recent information from Allah and you recite it, the Book that has not been distorted? Allah has revealed to you that the people of the scriptures have changed with their own hands what was revealed to them and they have said (as regards their changed Scriptures): This is from Allah, in order to get some worldly benefit thereby. Ibn Abbas added: Isnt the knowledge revealed to you sufficient to prevent you from asking them? By Allah I have never seen any one of them asking (Muslims) about what has been revealed to you.
