>      Narrated Talha bin Musarrif: 
> 
>      I asked 'Abdullah bin Abu Aufa "Did the Prophet
>      make a will?" He replied, "No," I asked him,
>      "How is it then that the making of a will has been
>      enjoined on people, (or that they are ordered to
>      make a will)?" He replied, "The Prophet
>      bequeathed Allah's Book (i.e. Quran)."

>      Narrated Al-Aswad: 
> 
>      In the presence of 'Aisha some people mentioned
>      that the Prophet had appointed 'Ali by will as his
>      successor. 'Aisha said, "When did he appoint him

>      asked for a wash-basin and then collapsed while
>      in that state, and I could not even perceive that

>      Narrated Sad bin Abu Waqqas: 
> 
>      The Prophet came visiting me while I was (sick)
>      in Mecca, ('Amir the sub-narrator said, and he
>      disliked to die in the land, whence he had already
>      migrated). He (i.e. the Prophet) said, "May Allah
>      bestow His Mercy on Ibn Afra (Sad bin
>      Khaula)." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! May I will
>      all my property (in charity)?" He said, "No." I
>      said, "Then may I will half of it?" He said, "No". I
>      said, "One third?" He said: "Yes, one third, yet
>      even one third is too much. It is better for you to
>      leave your inheritors wealthy than to leave them
>      poor begging others, and whatever you spend for
>      Allah's sake will be considered as a charitable
>      deed even the handful of food you put in your
>      wife's mouth. Allah may lengthen your age so that
>      some people may benefit by you, and some
>      others be harmed by you." At that time Sad had
>      only one daughter. 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 6: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      I recommend that people reduce the proportion
>      of what they bequeath by will to the fourth (of the
>      whole legacy), for Allah's Apostle said,
>      "One-third, yet even one third is too much." 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 7: 
> 
>      Narrated Sad: 
> 
>      I fell sick and the Prophet paid me a visit. I said
>      to him, "O Allah's Apostle! I invoke Allah that
>      He may not let me expire in the land whence I
>      migrated (i.e. Mecca)." He said, "May Allah give
>      you health and let the people benefit by you." I
>      said, "I want to will my property, and I have only
>      one daughter and I want to will half of my
>      property (to be given in charity)." He said," Half
>      is too much." I said, "Then I will one third." He
>      said, "One-third, yet even one-third is too much."
>      (The narrator added, "So the people started to
>      will one third of their property and that was
>      Permitted for them.") 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 8: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      (the wife of the Prophet) Utba bin Abi Waqqas
>      entrusted (his son) to his brother Sad bin Abi
>      Waqqas saying, "The son of the slave-girl of
>      Zam'a is my (illegal) son, take him into your
>      custody." So during the year of the Conquest (of
>      Mecca) Sad took the boy and said, "This is my
>      brother's son whom my brother entrusted to me."
>      'Abu bin Zam's 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 both of
>      them came to Allah's Apostle and Sad said, "O
>      Allah's Apostle! This is my brother's son whom
>      my brother entrusted to me." 
> 
>      Then 'Abu bin Zam'a got up and said, "This is my
>      brother and the son of the slave-girl of my
>      father." Allah's Apostle said, "O Abu bin Zam'a!
>      This boy is for you as the boy belongs to the bed
>      (where he was born), and for the adulterer is the
>      stone (i.e. deprivation)." Then the Prophet said to
>      his wife Sauda bint Zam'a, "Screen yourself from
>      this boy," when he saw the boy's resemblance to
>      'Utba. Since then the boy did not see Sauda till
>      he died. 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 9: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas: 
> 
>      A Jew crushed the head of a girl between two
>      stones. She was asked, "Who has done so to
>      you, so-and-so? So-and-so?" Till the name of
>      the Jew was mentioned, whereupon she nodded
>      (in agreement). So the Jew was brought and was
>      questioned till he confessed. The Prophet then
>      ordered that his head be crushed with stones. 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 10: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      The custom (in old days) was that the property
>      of the deceased would be inherited by his
>      offspring; as for the parents (of the deceased),
>      they would inherit by the will of the deceased.
>      Then Allah cancelled from that custom whatever
>      He wished and fixed for the male double the
>      amount inherited by the female, and for each
>      parent a sixth (of the whole legacy) and for the
>      wife an eighth or a fourth and for the husband a
>      half or a fourth. 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 11: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      A man asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Apostle!
>      What kind of charity is the best?" He replied. "To
>      give in charity when you are healthy and greedy
>      hoping to be wealthy and afraid of becoming
>      poor. Don't delay giving in charity till the time
>      when you are on the death bed when you say,
>      'Give so much to so-and-so and so much to
>      so-and so,' and at that time the property is not
>      yours but it belongs to so-and-so (i.e. your
>      inheritors)." 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 12: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "The signs of a hypocrite are
>      three: Whenever he speaks he tells a lie;
>      whenever he is entrusted he proves dishonest;
>      whenever he promises he breaks his promise." 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 13: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair: Hakim bin Hizam
>      said, "I asked Allah's Apostle for something, and
>      he gave me, and I asked him again and he gave
>      me and said, 'O Hakim! This wealth is green and
>      sweet (i.e. as tempting as fruits), and whoever
>      takes it with 
> 
>      The upper (i.e. giving) hand is better than the
>      lower (i.e. taking) hand." Hakim added, "I said,
>      O Allah's Apostle! By Him Who has sent you
>      with the Truth I will never demand anything from
>      anybody after you till I die." Afterwards Abu
>      Bakr used to call Hakim to give him something
>      but he refused to accept anything from him. Then
>      'Umar called him to give him (something) but he
>      refused. Then 'Umar said, "O Muslims! I offered
>      to him (i.e. Hakim) his share which Allah has
>      ordained for him from this booty and he refuses
>      to take it." Thus Hakim did not ask anybody for
>      anything after the Prophet, till he died--may Allah
>      bestow His mercy upon him. 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 14: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn Umar: 
> 
>      I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "All of you are
>      guardians and responsible for your charges: the
>      Ruler (i.e. Imam) is a guardian and responsible
>      for his subjects; and a man is a guardian of his
>      family and is responsible for his charges; and a
>      lady is a guardian in the house of her husband
>      and is responsible for her charge; and a servant is
>      a guardian of the property of his master and is
>      responsible for his charge." I think he also said,
>      "And a man is a guardian of the property of his
>      father." 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 15: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas: 
> 
>      The Prophet said to Abu Talha, "I recommend
>      that you divide (this garden) amongst your
>      relatives." Abu Talha said, "O Allah's Apostle! I
>      will do the same." So Abu Talha divided it
>      among his relatives and cousins. 
> 
>      Ibn 'Abbes said, "When the Qur'anic Verse: 
> 
>      "Warn your nearest kinsmen." (26.214)

>      Was revealed, the Prophet started calling the
>      various big families of Quraish, "O Bani Fihr! O
>      Bani Adi!". 
> 
>      Abu Huraira said, "When the Verse: "Warn your

> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 16: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      When Allah revealed the Verse: "Warn your

>      said, "O people of Quraish (or said similar
>      words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the

>      Punishment; O Bani Abd Manaf! I cannot save
>      you from Allah's Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt

> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 17: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas: 
> 
>      The Prophet saw a man driving a Badana (i.e.
>      camel for sacrifice) and said to him, "Ride on it."
>      The man said, "O Allah's Apostle! It is a
>      Bandana." (The Prophet repeated his order) and
>      on the third or fourth time he said, "Ride it, (woe
>      to you" or said: "May Allah be merciful to you)." 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 18: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle saw a man driving a Badana and

> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 19: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      The mother of Sad bin 'Ubada died in his

>      mother died in my absence; will it be of any
>      benefit for her if I give Sadaqa on her behalf?"
>      The Prophet said, "Yes," Sad said, "I make you

> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 20: 
> 
>      Narrated Kab bin Malik: 
> 
>      I said, "O Allah's Apostle! For the acceptance of
>      my repentance I wish to give all my property in

> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 21:

>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      Some people claim that the order in the above
>      Verse is cancelled, by Allah, it is not cancelled,
>      but the people have stopped acting on it. There

>      the inheritance): One is that who inherits; such a
>      person should give (of what he inherits to the
>      relatives, the orphans and the needy, etc.), the
>      other is that who does not inherit (e.g. the
>      guardian of the orphans): such a person should
>      speak kindly and say (to those who are present
>      at the time of distribution), "I can not give it to
>      you (as the wealth belongs to the orphans)." 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 22: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      A man said to the Prophet, "My mother died
>      suddenly, and I think that if she could speak, she
>      would have given in charity. May I give in charity

> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 23: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      Sad bin Ubada consulted Allah's Apostle saying,
>      "My mother died and she had an unfulfilled vow."
>      The Prophet said, "Fulfill it on her behalf." 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 24: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      That the mother of Sad bin Ubada the brother of

> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 25: 
> 
>      Narrated Az-Zuhri: 
> 
>      Urwa bin Az-Zubair said that he asked 'Aisha
>      about the meaning of the Quranic Verse:-- 
> 
>      "And if you fear that you will not deal fairly with
>      the orphan girls then marry (other) women of
>      your choice." (4.2-3) 
> 
>      Aisha said, "It is about a female orphan under the
>      guardianship of her guardian who is inclined
>      towards her because of her beauty and wealth,
>      and likes to marry her with a Mahr less than what
>      is given to women of her standard. So they (i.e.
>      guardians) were forbidden to marry the orphans
>      unless they paid them a full appropriate Mahr
>      (otherwise) they were ordered to marry other
>      women instead of them. Later on the people
>      asked Allah's Apostle about it. So Allah revealed
>      the following Verse:-- 
> 
>      "They ask your instruction (O Muhammad!)
>      regarding women. Say: Allah instructs you
>      regarding them..." (4.127) 
> 
>      and in this Verse Allah indicated that if the
>      orphan girl was beautiful and wealthy, her
>      guardian would have the desire to marry her
>      without giving her an appropriate Mahr equal to
>      what her peers could get, but if she was
>      undesirable for lack of beauty or wealth, then he
>      would not marry her, but seek to marry some
>      other woman instead of her. So, since he did not
>      marry her when he had no inclination towards
>      her, he had not the right to marry her when he
>      had an interest in her, unless he treated her justly
>      by giving her a full Mahr and securing all her
>      rights. 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 26: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Umar: 
> 
>      In the lifetime of Allah's Apostle , Umar gave in
>      charity some of his property, a garden of
>      date-palms called Thamgh. 'Umar said, "O
>      Allah's Apostle! I have some property which I
>      prize highly and I want to give it in charity." The
>      Prophet; said, "Give it in charity (i.e. as an
>      endowment) with its land and trees on the
>      condition that the land and trees will neither be
>      sold nor given as a present, nor bequeathed, but
>      the fruits are to be spent in charity." So 'Umar
>      gave it in charity, and it was for Allah's Cause,
>      the emancipation of slaves, for the poor, for
>      guests, for travelers, and for kinsmen. The
>      person acting as its administrator could eat from
>      it reasonably and fairly, and could let a friend of
>      his eat from it provided he had no intention of
>      becoming wealthy by its means. 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 27:

>      The following Verse:-- 
> 
>      "If a guardian is well-off, let him claim no
>      remuneration (i.e. wages), but if he is poor, let
>      him have for himself what is just and reasonable."
>      (4.6) 
> 
>      was revealed in connection with the guardian of
>      an orphan, and it means that if he is poor he can
>      have for himself (from the orphan's wealth) what
>      is just and reasonable according to the orphan's
>      share of the inheritance. 
> 
> Volume 4, Book 51, Number 28: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "Avoid the seven great
>      destructive sins." The people enquire, "O Allah's
>      Apostle! What are they? "He said, "To join

>      When Allah's Apostle came to Medina; he did
