> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah: 
> 
>      A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Which sin is the greatest in Allah's Sight?" The
>      Prophet said, "To set up a rival unto Allah though He Alone created you . " The
>      man said, "What is next?" The Prophet said, "To kill your son lest he should share
>      your food with you." The man said, "What is next?" The Prophet said, "To commit
>      illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor." So Allah revealed in
>      confirmation of this narration:-- 
> 
>      'And those who invoke not with Allah, any other god. Nor kill, such life as Allah
>      has forbidden except for just cause nor commit illegal sexual intercourse. And
>      whoever does this shall receive the punishment.' (25.68) 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 2: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Umar: 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle said, "A faithful believer remains at liberty regarding his religion
>      unless he kills somebody unlawfully." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 3: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: 
> 
>      One of the evil deeds with bad consequence from which there is no escape for the
>      one who is involved in it is to kill someone unlawfully. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 4: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "The first cases to be decided among the people (on the Day of
>      Resurrection) will be those of blood-shed." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 5: 
> 
>      Narrated Al-Miqdad bin 'Amr Al-Kindi: 
> 
>      An ally of Bani Zuhra who took part in the battle of Badr with the Prophet, that he
>      said, "O Allah's Apostle! If I meet an unbeliever and we have a fight, and he strikes
>      my hand with the sword and cuts it off, and then takes refuge from me under a
>      tree, and says, 'I have surrendered to Allah (i.e. embraced Islam),' may I kill him
>      after he has said so?" Allah's Apostle said, "Do not kill him." Al-Miqdad said, "But
>      O Allah's Apostle! He had chopped off one of my hands and he said that after he
>      had cut it off. May I kill him?" The Prophet said. "Do not kill him for if you kill him,
>      he would be in the position in which you had been before you kill him, and you
>      would be in the position in which he was before he said the sentence." The Prophet
>      also said to Al-Miqdad, "If a faithful believer conceals his faith (Islam) from the
>      disbelievers, and then when he declares his Islam, you kill him, (you will be sinful).
>      Remember that you were also concealing your faith (Islam) at Mecca before." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 6: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "No human being is killed unjustly, but a part of responsibility for
>      the crime is laid on the first son of Adam who invented the tradition of killing
>      (murdering) on the earth. (It is said that he was Qabil). 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 7: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "After me (i.e. after my death), do not become disbelievers, by
>      striking (cutting) the necks of one another. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 8: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Zur'a bin 'Amr bin Jarir: 
> 
>      The Prophet said during Hajjat-al-Wada', "Let the people be quiet and listen to
>      me. After me, do not become disbelievers, by striking (cutting) the necks of one
>      another." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 9: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "Al-Kaba'ir (the biggest sins) are: To join others (as partners) in
>      worship with Allah, to be undutiful to one's parents," or said, "to take a false oath."
>      (The sub-narrator, Shu'ba is not sure) Mu'adh said: Shu'ba said, "Al-kaba'ir (the
>      biggest sins) are: (1) Joining others as partners in worship with Allah, (2) to take a
>      false oath (3) and to be undutiful to one's parents," or said, "to murder (someone

> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 10: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas bin Malik: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "The biggest of Al-Kaba'ir (the great sins) are (1) to join others
>      as partners in worship with Allah, (2) to murder a human being, (3) to be undutiful
>      to one's parents (4) and to make a false statement," or said, "to give a false
>      witness." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 11: 
> 
>      Narrated Usama bin Zaid bin Haritha: 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle sent us (to fight) against Al-Huraqa (one of the sub-tribes) of
>      Juhaina. We reached those people in the morning and defeated them. A man from
>      the Ansar and I chased one of their men and when we attacked him, he said,
>      "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah." The Ansari refrained from killing
>      him but I stabbed him with my spear till I killed him. When we reached (Medina),
>      this news reached the Prophet. He said to me, "O Usama! You killed him after he
>      had said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah?"' I said, "O Allah's
>      Apostle! He said so in order to save himself." The Prophet said, "You killed him
>      after he had said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah." The Prophet
>      kept on repeating that statement till I wished I had not been a Muslim before that
>      day. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 12: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samat: 
> 
>      I was among those Naqibs (selected leaders) who gave the Pledge of allegiance to
>      Allah's Apostle. We gave the oath of allegiance, that we would not join partners in
>      worship besides Allah, would not steal, would not commit illegal sexual
>      intercourse, would not kill a life which Allah has forbidden, would not commit
>      robbery, would not disobey (Allah and His Apostle), and if we fulfilled this pledge
>      we would have Paradise, but if we committed any one of these (sins), then our
>      case will be decided by Allah. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 13: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "Whoever carries arms against us, is not from us." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 14: 
> 
>      Narrated Al-Ahnaf bin Qais: 
> 
>      I went to help that man (i.e., 'Ali), and on the way I met Abu Bakra who asked
>      me, "Where are you going?" I replied, "I am going to help that man." He said, "Go
>      back, for I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'If two Muslims meet each other with their
>      swords then (both) the killer and the killed one are in the (Hell) Fire.' I said, 'O
>      Allah's Apostle! It is alright for the killer, but what about the killed one?' He said,
>      'The killed one was eager to kill his opponent." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 15: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas bin Malik: 
> 
>      A Jew crushed the head of a girl between two stones, and the girl was asked,
>      "Who has done that to you, so-and-so or so and so?" (Some names were
>      mentioned for her) till the name of that Jew was mentioned (whereupon she
>      agreed). The Jew was brought to the Prophet and the Prophet kept on questioning
>      him till he confessed, whereupon his head was crushed with stones. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 16: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas bin Malik: 
> 
>      A girl wearing ornaments, went out at Medina. Somebody struck her with a stone.
>      She was brought to the Prophet while she was still alive. Allah's Apostle asked her,
>      "Did such-and-such a person strike you?" She raised her head, denying that. He
>      asked her a second time, saying, "Did so-and-so strike you?" She raised her head,
>      denying that. He said for the third time, "Did so-and-so strike you?" She lowered
>      her head, agreeing. Allah's Apostle then sent for the killer and killed him between
>      two stones. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Abdullah: 
> 
>      Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right
>      to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in
>      three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual
>      intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the
>      Muslims." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 18: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas: 
> 
>      A Jew killed a girl so that he may steal her ornaments. He struck her with a stone,
>      and she was brought to the Prophet while she was still alive. The Prophet asked
>      her, "Did such-and-such person strike you?" She gestured with her head,
>      expressing denial. He asked her for the second time, and she again gestured with
>      her head, expressing denial. When he asked her for the third time, she beckoned,
>      "Yes." So the Prophet killed him (the Jew) with two stones. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 19: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      In the year of the Conquest of Mecca, the tribe of Khuza'a killed a man from the
>      tribe of Bam Laith in revenge for a killed person belonging to them in the
>      Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance. So Allah's Apostle got up saying, "Allah held
>      back the (army having) elephants from Mecca, but He let His Apostle and the
>      believers overpower the infidels (of Mecca). Beware! (Mecca is a sanctuary)!
>      Verily! Fighting in Mecca was not permitted for anybody before me, nor will it be
>      permitted for anybody after me; It was permitted for me only for a while (an hour
>      or so) of that day. No doubt! It is at this moment a sanctuary; its thorny shrubs
>      should not be uprooted; its trees should not be cut down; and its Luqata (fallen
>      things) should not be picked up except by the one who would look for its owner.
>      And if somebody is killed, his closest relative has the right to choose one of two
>      things, i.e., either the Blood money or retaliation by having the killer killed." Then a
>      man from Yemen, called Abu Shah, stood up and said, "Write that) for me, O
>      Allah's Apostle!" Allah's Apostle said (to his companions), "Write that for Abu
>      Shah." Then another man from Quraish got up, saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Except
>      Al-Idhkhir (a special kind of grass) as we use it in our houses and for graves."
>      Allah's Apostle said, "Except Al-idhkkir." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 20: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      For the children of Israel the punishment for crime was Al-Qisas only (i.e., the law
>      of equality in punishment) and the payment of Blood money was not permitted as
>      an alternate. But Allah said to this nation (Muslims): 'O you who believe! Qisas is
>      prescribed for you in case of murder, .....(up to) ...end of the Verse. (2.178) 
> 
>      Ibn 'Abbas added: Remission (forgiveness) in this Verse, means to accept the
>      Blood-money in an intentional murder. Ibn 'Abbas added: The Verse: 'Then the
>      relatives should demand Blood-money in a reasonable manner.' (2.178) means that
>      the demand should be reasonable and it is to be compensated with handsome
>      gratitude. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 21: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "The most hated persons to Allah are three: (1) A person who
>      deviates from the right conduct, i.e., an evil doer, in the Haram (sanctuaries of
>      Mecca and Medina); (2) a person who seeks that the traditions of the Pre-lslamic
>      Period of Ignorance, should remain in Islam (3) and a person who seeks to shed
>      somebody's blood without any right." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 22: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      The pagans were defeated on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. Satan shouted
>      among the people on the day of Uhud, "O Allah's worshippers! Beware of what is
>      behind you!" So the front file of the army attacked the back files (mistaking them
>      for the enemy) till they killed Al-Yaman. Hudhaifa (bin Al-Yaman) shouted, "My
>      father!" My father! But they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you."
>      (The narrator added: Some of the defeated pagans fled till they reached Taif.) 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 23: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas bin Malik: 
> 
>      A Jew crushed the head of a girl between two stones. It was said to her. "Who has
>      done this to you, such-and-such person, such-and-such person?" When the name
>      of the Jew was mentioned, she nodded with her head, agreeing. So the Jew was
>      brought and he confessed. The Prophet ordered that his head be crushed with the
>      stones. (Hammam said, "with two stones.") 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 24: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet killed a Jew for killing a girl in order to take
>      her orna 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 25: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      We poured medicine into the mouth of the Prophet during his ailment. He said,
>      "Don't pour medicine into my mouth." (We thought he said that) out of the aversion
>      a patient usually has for medicines. When he improved and felt better he said,
>      "There is none of you but will be forced to drink medicine, except Al-'Abbas, for
>      he did not witness your deed." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 26: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Huraira: 
> 
>      That he heard Allah's Apostle saying, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but
>      (will be) the foremost (on the Day of Resurrection)." And added, "If someone is
>      peeping (looking secretly) into your house without your permission, and you throw
>      a stone at him and destroy his eyes, there will be no blame on you." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 27: 
> 
>      Narrated Yahya: 
> 
>      Humaid said, "A man peeped into the house of the Prophet and the Prophet aimed
>      an arrow head at him to hit him." I asked, "Who told you that?" He said, "Anas bin
>      Malik" (See Hadith No. 258 and 259, Vol. 8) 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 28: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      "When it was the day of (the battle of) Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then
>      Satan shouted, "O Allah's worshipers! Beware of what is behind you!" So the front
>      files attacked the back files of the army. Hudhaifa looked, and behold, there was
>      his father, Al-Yaman (being attacked) ! He shouted (to his companions), "O
>      Allah's worshipers, my father, my father!" But by Allah, they did not stop till they
>      killed him (i.e., Hudhaifa's father). Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you." ('Urwa
>      said, Hudhaifa continued asking Allah's Forgiveness for the killer of his father till he
>      died. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 29: 
> 
>      Narrated Salama: 
> 
>      We went out with the Prophet to Khaibar. A man (from the companions) said, "O
>      'Amir! Let us hear some of your Huda (camel-driving songs.)" So he sang some of
>      them (i.e. a lyric in harmony with the camels walk). The Prophet said, "Who is the
>      driver (of these camels)?" They said, "Amir." The Prophet said, "May Allah bestow
>      His Mercy on him !" The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Would that you let us
>      enjoy his company longer!" Then 'Amir was killed the following morning. The
>      people said, "The good deeds of 'Amir are lost as he has killed himself." I returned
>      at the time while they were talking about that. I went to the Prophet and said, "O
>      Allah's Prophet! Let my father be sacrificed for you! The people claim that 'Amir's
>      good deeds are lost." The Prophet said, "Whoever says so is a liar, for 'Amir will
>      have a double reward as he exerted himself to obey Allah and fought in Allah's
>      Cause. No other way of killing would have granted him greater reward." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 30: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Imran bin Husain: 
> 
>      A man bit another man's hand and the latter pulled his hand out of his mouth by
>      force, causing two of his incisors (teeth) to fall out. They submitted their case to the
>      Prophet, who said, "One of you bit his brother as a male camel bites. (Go away),
>      there is no Diya (Blood-money) for you." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 31: 
> 
>      Narrated Ya'la: 
> 
>      I went out in one of the Ghazwa and a man bit another man and as a result, an
>      incisor tooth of the former was pulled out. The Prophet cancelled the case. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 32: 
> 
>      Narrated Anas: 
> 
>      The daughter of An-Nadr slapped a girl and broke her incisor tooth. They (the
>      relatives of that girl), came to the Prophet and he gave the order of Qisas (equality
>      in punishment). 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 33: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      The Prophet said, "This and this are the same." He meant the little finger and the
>      thumb. 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 34: 
> 
>      Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: 
> 
>      I heard the Prophet (saying the same as above Hadith 34). 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 35: 
> 
>      Narrated 'Aisha: 
> 
>      We poured medicine into the mouth of Allah's Apostle during his illness, and he
>      pointed out to us intending to say, "Don't pour medicine into my mouth." We
>      thought that his refusal was out of the aversion a patient usually has for medicine.
>      When he improved and felt a bit better he said (to us.) "Didn't I forbid you to pour
>      medicine into my mouth?" We said, "We thought (you did so) because of the
>      aversion, one usually have for medicine." Allah's Apostle said, "There is none of
>      you but will be forced to drink medicine, and I will watch you, except Al-'Abbas,
>      for he did not witness this act of yours." 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 36: 
> 
>      Narrated Sahl bin Abi Hathma: 
> 
>      (a man from the Ansar) that a number of people from his tribe went to Khaibar and
>      dispersed, and then they found one of them murdered. They said to the people
>      with whom the corpse had been found, "You have killed our companion!" Those
>      people said, "Neither have we killed him, nor do we know his killer." The
>      bereaved group went to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We went to
>      Khaibar and found one of us murdered." The Prophet said, "Let the older among
>      you come forward and speak." Then the Prophet said, to them, "Bring your proof
>      against the killer." They said "We have no proof." The Prophet said, "Then they
>      (the defendants) will take an oath." They said, "We do not accept the oaths of the
>      Jews." Allah's Apostle did not like that the Blood-money of the killed one be lost
>      without compensation, so he paid one-hundred camels out of the camels of Zakat
>      (to the relatives of the deceased) as Diya (Blood-money). 
> 
> Volume 9, Book 83, Number 37: 
> 
>      Narrated Abu Qilaba: 
> 
>      Once 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz sat on his throne in the courtyard of his house so that
>      the people might gather before him. Then he admitted them and (when they came
>      in), he said, "What do you think of Al-Qasama?" They said, "We say that it is
>      lawful to depend on Al-Qasama in Qisas, as the previous Muslim Caliphs carried
>      out Qisas depending on it." Then he said to me, "O Abu Qilaba! What do you say
>      about it?" He let me appear before the people and I said, "O Chief of the
>      Believers! You have the chiefs of the army staff and the nobles of the Arabs. If fifty
>      of them testified that a married man had committed illegal sexual intercourse in
>      Damascus but they had not seen him (doing so), would you stone him?" He said,
>      "No." I said, "If fifty of them testified that a man had committed theft in Hums,
>      would you cut off his hand though they did not see him?" He replied, "No." I said,
>      "By Allah, Allah's Apostle never killed anyone except in one of the following three
>      situations: (1) A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) (2) a
>      married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and (3) a man who fought
>      against Allah and His Apostle and deserted Islam and became an apostate." Then
>      the people said, "Didn't Anas bin Malik narrate that Allah's Apostle cut off the
>      hands of the thieves, branded their eyes and then, threw them in the sun?" I said, "I
>      shall tell you the narration of Anas. Anas said: "Eight persons from the tribe of 'Ukl
>      came to Allah's Apostle and gave the Pledge of allegiance for Islam (became
>      Muslim). The climate of the place (Medina) did not suit them, so they became sick
>      and complained about that to Allah's Apostle. He said (to them ), "Won't you go
>      out with the shepherd of our camels and drink of the camels' milk and urine (as
>      medicine)?" They said, "Yes." So they went out and drank the camels' milk and
>      urine, and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of Allah's Apostle
>      and took away all the camels. This news reached Allah's Apostle , so he sent
>      (men) to follow their traces and they were captured and brought (to the Prophet).
>      He then ordered to cut their hands and feet, and their eyes were branded with
>      heated pieces of iron, and then he threw them in the sun till they died." I said,
>      "What can be worse than what those people did? They deserted Islam, committed
>      murder and theft." 
> 
>      Then 'Anbasa bin Said said, "By Allah, I never heard a narration like this of today."
>      I said, "O 'Anbasa! You deny my narration?" 'Anbasa said, "No, but you have
>      related the narration in the way it should be related. By Allah, these people are in
>      welfare as long as this Sheikh (Abu Qilaba) is among them." I added, "Indeed in
>      this event there has been a tradition set by Allah's Apostle. The narrator added:
>      Some Ansari people came to the Prophet and discussed some matters with him, a
>      man from amongst them went out and was murdered. Those people went out after
>      him, and behold, their companion was swimming in blood. They returned to Allah's
>      Apostle and said to him, "O Allah's Apostle, we have found our companion who
>      had talked with us and gone out before us, swimming in blood (killed)." Allah's

>      for the rest of the price (i.e. 10,001 Dirhams). If the preemptor offers 20,000
>      Dirhams for the house, he can buy it otherwise he has no right to buy it (by this
>      trick he got out of preemption). If the house proves to belong to somebody else

>      i.e., 9,999 Dirhams and one Dinar, because if the house proves to belong to

>      The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of

>      true like bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira where he
