‘Abdullāh ibn Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We participated with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in seven battles wherein we ate locusts.

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

Allah, Glorified and Exalted, blessed the Prophet's Companions with seven battles wherein He provided them with locusts because they did not have sustenance, just like He supplied them in another battle with the sperm whale that was cast out by the sea, and they ate from it.

Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Raisins used to be soaked for the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) in a water skin, and he would drink it that day, the next day, and the following day. In the evening of the third day, he would drink it and give some to others. If anything was left, he would spill it.

Narrated by Muslim

In this Hadīth, Ibn ‘Abbās (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that Nabīdh would be prepared for the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) by leaving raisins or dates in water in a container so that it may become sweet and have a taste. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessing be upon him) would drink the Nabīdh for three days. On the third night, if the taste of Nabīdh had not changed, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) would drink it himself, and he would serve it to others so that it would be used up and nothing from it would remain for the fourth day. If something remained from the liquid, he would spill it because it could ferment on the fourth day and the Nabīdh could turn into alcohol.

Abu Sa‘īd reported: We asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about the fetus (of edible animals). He said: "Eat it if you wish, for it is considered legally slaughtered with the slaughtering of its mother."

Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad

The fetus of a slaughtered animal, if taken out dead, is lawful to eat. The slaughtering of the mother is enough to make it lawful to eat, for the fetus was part of the animal when it was slaughtered. Being so, the parts of the animals do not require independent slaughtering.

‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is unlawful to shed the blood of a Muslim who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, except in one of three cases: a married person who commits adultery, they are to be stoned; one who goes forth to fight against Allah and His Messenger, they are to be killed, crucified, or exiled from the land; or one who commits murder, for which he is killed in retribution."

An-Nasaa’i

This Hadīth highlights the inviolability of the blood of Muslims who testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His messenger and do not do any of the acts that constitute a violation of the testimonies of Islam. The Wise Lawgiver advocated the safeguarding and protection of lives. Thus, He made such protection and safeguarding part of His legislation. Also, He declared that the gravest sin after polytheism is the killing of a soul which Allah has forbidden to kill. Hence, it is forbidden to kill a Muslim who affirm the two testimonies unless he commits one of three things: 1. Commit unlawful sexual intercourse after Allah has bestowed chastity upon him by virtue of a valid marriage. 2. Kill someone whose life is protected by the Shariah, out of injustice and aggression. Justice requires that the killer is to be killed in order to deter the transgressors from their aggression. 3. Disassociate himself from the Muslim community and go out in rebellion against Allah and His Messenger by committing highway robbery, scaring people, and spreading corruption on earth. The perpetrator is to be killed, crucified, or exiled so that the people become safe from his evil and transgression. These three categories of people are to be killed, for killing them maintains safety of the religion, lives, and honor.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a man – or someone – peeped at you without your permission and you threw a pebble at him that gouged out his eye, you would not be at fault."

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) says that if someone looks at another from behind a door, from above a wall or something, without his permission, and then one gouges out his eye with a pebble or a skewer, this physical damage will not incur a sin or retribution on its doer. This is because the peeper is the aggressor and guilty for violating the other person's privacy.

‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb reported from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever intentionally kills a believer shall be handed to the guardians of the killed person: if they will, they may kill him, and if they will, they may accept the blood money. [The blood money] is thirty 'Hiqqah', thirty 'Jadha‘ah', and forty 'Khalifah'. And whatever they agree upon shall be given to them. That is because the blood money [in this case] should be exorbitant."

Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by At-Termedhy - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad

This Hadīth shows the ruling subsequent to killing a believer intentionally. The guardians of the killed person, from among his heirs, have two options. They may ask for legal retribution, so the judge kills him; a punishment that resembles his crime. Otherwise, they can accept the blood money that is mentioned in the Hadīth: thirty 'Hiqqah' she-camels ('Hiqqah' is a she-camel in its fourth year of age), thirty 'Jadha‘ah' she-camels ('Jadha‘ah' is a she-camel in its fifth year of age), and forty pregnant she-camels. The guardians of the killed person may also accept an extra amount that they agree upon with the payers of the blood money. This is because the blood money for intentional killing is aggravated due to the perpetrator's intent and determination to kill the victim.

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If somebody slanders his slave and the slave is innocent of what he says, he (the master) will be flogged on the Day of Judgment unless the slave really is as he described him."

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

If a master slanders his slave, no punishment is to be inflicted upon him in the worldly life, for corporeal punishments expiate the sins. Given that the punishment will be inflicted upon him in the Hereafter, he is not to be punished in the worldly life. The scholars unanimously agree that the prescribed corporal punishment is not to be inflicted on the slave in such a case. The master is not to be subject to the prescribed corporal punishment of slander either, for he slanders him only when he is certain or has a strong assumption. The accusation brings down the price of the slave, which involves loss to the master. Finally, this Hadīth specifies the general indication of Allah's saying: {Those who slander the chaste women and do not bring four witness, flog them eighty lashes.} [Sūrat An-Nūr: 4]

‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) consulted the people about a woman who was caused to miscarry. Al-Mughīrah ibn Shu‘bah said: "I witnessed the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) passed a rule that a slave, male or female, be given as blood money." ‘Umar said: "Bring me someone to testify along with you." So, he brought Muhammad ibn Maslamah, who testified with him.

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

A woman had a miscarriage before the delivery was due and lost her fetus as a result of a crime committed against her. It was usual for the just leader ‘Umar ibn al-Khattāb (may Allah be pleased with him) to consult his companions and the knowledgeable among them concerning his affairs and issues. So, when this woman miscarried her incomplete, dead fetus, he was unsure about the ruling concerning its blood money. So, he consulted the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them,) on this matter. Al-Mughīrah ibn Shu‘bah informed him that he witnessed the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) rule that a male or female slave should be given as the fetus' blood money. So, ‘Umar wished to verify this ruling, which was to be a general legislation until the Day of Resurrection. So, he emphatically asked Al-Mughīrah to bring someone who would testify to the truthfulness of his statement and its accurate conveyance. Muhammad ibn Maslamah al-Ansāri testified to the truthfulness of what Al-Mughīrah had said - (may Allah be pleased with all of them).

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: Two women from the Hudhayl tribe fought each other. One of them threw a stone at the other, killing her along with what was in her womb. They brought their case to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), who gave judgment that a male or female slave of the best quality should be given as blood money for her unborn child. He decided that the blood money of the killed woman should be paid by the other woman's male relatives on the father's side. He made her children and those who were with them among her heirs. Hamal ibn Mālik ibn An-Nābighah al-Hudhali said: "O Messenger of Allah, how should I be fined for one who has not drunk, eaten, spoken, or raised his voice with crying upon childbirth? Such an offense should be overlooked." Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Definitely, this man belongs to the diviners," given his use of rhymed phrases.

Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim

Two women, co-wives from the Hudhayl tribe fought each other. One of them threw a little stone that does not normally cause death at the other, but it killed her along with the fetus that she had in her womb. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) judged that the blood money of the fetus is a male or female slave, whether the fetus was male or female, to be paid by the killer. Moreover, he judged that blood money was due for the killed woman, as the killing was semi-intentional, and that it should be paid by the killer’s male relatives on the father's side, since their relationship is based upon mutual support and equity, and because the murder was unintentional. Since the blood money was an inheritance related to the killed woman, it was given to her children and other rightful inheritors. However, her male relatives on the father’s side were entitled to nothing thereof. Upon that, Hamal ibn An-Nābighah, the killer’s father, said: "O Messenger of Allah, how could we be obliged to pay blood money for one who died before birth, and he did not eat, drink, or make any utterance so that it could be known THAT he was alive!" He made this statement in an oratory rhymed style. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) apparently disliked this man's statement, which implied his rejection of the Shar‘i rulings and involved use of rhymed phrases resembling those employed by diviners as a means whereby they devour people’s wealth unlawfully.

Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: A girl was found with her head crushed between two stones. They asked her: "Who did that to you? Is it so-and-so, or so-and-so?" They kept mentioning names until they mentioned the name of a Jew, whereupon she nodded her head. The Jew was captured, and he confessed. Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that his head be crushed between two stones. In another narration by Muslim and An-Nasā'i: "A Jew killed a girl for her jewelry, so the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) killed him in retaliation for her."
