It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when this verse was revealed: "Those who consume usury (riba) will not rise (on the Day of Resurrection) except as one rises whom Satan has driven to madness by his touch" [Surah al-Baqarah: 275] , the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever does not abandon al-mukhabarah (a sharecropping arrangement of land in which there is a suspicion of usury), let him take notice of a declaration of war from Allah and His Messenger." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, 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); he said: I bear witness that Allah Almighty has made al-salaf al-madmun (a sale through advance payment) for a fixed term lawful in His Book and has permitted it. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "O you who believe! When you contract a debt with one another for a fixed term, write it down" [Surah al-Baqarah: 282] . 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 Abdullah bin Abi Mulaykah that he sent a message to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) asking about the testimony of children. He said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "such witnesses as you are satisfied with" [Surah al-Baqarah: 282] , and children are not among those with whom we are satisfied as witnesses. The narrator said: I sent a message to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) asking the same question, and he said: It is quite likely that if these children are asked (immediately after the matter), they will speak the truth. The narrator said: I saw that judgment was given only in accordance with what Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) had said. 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) that when this verse was revealed: "And whether you reveal what is in your hearts or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it" [Surah al-Baqarah: 284] , it weighed so heavily upon the Companions that nothing before it had ever been so burdensome for them. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Say: We hear and we obey." So when Allah placed faith in their hearts and they said, "We hear and we obey," Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sent down the verse from "Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity; it will have the good it has earned and bear the evil it has earned" up to "or make a mistake" [Surah al-Baqarah: 286] , whereupon Allah said: "I have done so (that is, I have accepted your supplication)", and likewise up to the end of Surah al-Baqarah. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Salim that when his father (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) recited this verse: "And whether you reveal what is in your hearts or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it; then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills" [Surah al-Baqarah: 284] , tears flowed from his eyes. When news of what he had done reached Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: May Allah Almighty have mercy on Abu Abd al-Rahman! He reacted just as the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reacted when this verse was revealed. Then the verse after it, "it will have the good it has earned and bear the evil it has earned" [Surah al-Baqarah: 286] , abrogated it. 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 Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "The Messenger has believed in what was sent down to him from his Lord" [Surah al-Baqarah: 285] , the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "And it was his right and fitting for him to believe." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
