46 – 1243 – From Abdullaah bin Abbas who said the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:
‘The earnings from alcohol are Haraam, the dowry of a prostitute is haram, the earnings from a dog are Haraam, the drum is Haraam, and if the owner of a dog come seeking the cost of it then fill his hand with dust. Alcohol, gambling and every intoxicant is Haraam.’

49 – 1240 – From Abu Hurairah from the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-:
‘There was a man walking in a field, when he heard the sound of thunder in some clouds, and he heard some speech in the clouds: ‘Irrigate so and so’s – mentioned by name – garden.’ The cloud then came to that area which was of volcanic remains of lava and it let out the rain it contained, then it came to trails of water until it stopped at a riverbed and the cloud took up some water. The man followed the cloud until it reached another person who was standing in his own garden and irrigating it. So the first man said: ‘O slave of Allaah what is your name?’
He said: ‘Why do you ask?’
The man replied: ‘Indeed I heard in this cloud from which is this rain; ‘water so and so’s garden’ with your name, so what is it that you do with it once you have cultivated the land?’
He said: ‘If you say that is the case, then indeed what I do is divide it into three pats, I make one third for me and my family, a third I return back into the garden and a third I place for the impoverished, the needy and the wayfarer.’

54 – 1261 – From Abu al-Bakhtari who said: ‘I heard a Hadeeth from a man, which I really liked, so I said: ‘Write it down for me.’ So it was brought written [precisely with diacritical points]. Al-Abbas and Ali entered upon Umar, while Talha, az-Zubayr, AbdurRahman and Sa’ad and they were debating, so Umar said to Talha, az-Zubayr, AbdurRahman and Sa’ad: Do you not know that the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– said:
‘All of the wealth of the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- is regarded as charity, except for that what he fed his family with and clothed them with, indeed we do not leave behind inheritance.’
They said: ‘Yes.’
Umar said: ‘The Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– used to spend from his wealth on his family, and would give the extra in charity, then when the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– died, Abu Bakr ruled for two years and he would do what the Messenger of Allaah –sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam– did.’
