It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna al-Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him): "O Bara! How is your spending on your family?" - The narrator said that he used to spend generously on his family - He said: O Messenger of Allah, I do not count it (as anything). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your spending on your family, your children and your servant is charity, so do not follow it with reminders of your favour or with hurt." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he used to recite this word "bi-ribwatin" [Surah al-Baqarah: 265] with a kasrah (the vowel i) on the letter ra, and he said: "Al-ribwah" means elevated ground. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Ubayd bin Umayr that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): In your opinion, about whom was this verse revealed: "Would any of you wish to have a garden" [Surah al-Baqarah: 266] ? They said: Allah knows best. At this he became angry and said: Say either "We know" or "We do not know." Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: O Commander of the Believers! I have something in my mind about it. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Speak, O my nephew, and do not belittle yourself. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: It is given as a parable for a deed. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Which deed? He said: For a deed. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said (by way of explanation): It is the parable of a wealthy man who does good deeds; then Allah sends devils to him, and he begins to commit sins until he drowns all his previous deeds. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "a whirlwind containing fire" [Surah al-Baqarah: 266] ; he said: It means a wind carrying a fierce, scorching hot blast. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that one sa' of dates be given as Sadaqat al-Fitr. A man brought poor-quality dates, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawahah (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do not assess these dates (as zakah)." Then this verse of the Qur'an was revealed: "O you who believe! Spend from the good things you have earned and from what We have brought forth for you from the earth, and do not aim for the inferior part of it to spend (in the way of Allah)" [Surah al-Baqarah: 267] . This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
