It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three kinds of people who call upon Allah but are not answered: a man who had an ill-mannered wife in his marriage but did not divorce her; a man who lent money to someone but did not take witnesses over it; and a man who handed over his wealth to a foolish (feeble-minded) person, whereas Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'And do not give the foolish your wealth' [Surah Al-Nisa': 5] ." This chain is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but the two Shaykhs did not record it because the students of Shu'bah narrated this hadith as mawquf (stopping) at Abu Musa al-Ash'ari; whereas they are agreed, with this chain, on the hadith of Shu'bah: "Three people will be given their reward twice," and the two Shaykhs agreed on recording that other hadith.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty, "And whoever is rich, let him refrain (from the orphan's wealth)," that it means he has no need of the orphan's wealth; while "And whoever is poor, let him eat in a fair manner" [Surah Al-Nisa': 6] means that he should eat from his own wealth to the extent of his sustenance, in such a way that he has no need of the orphan's wealth at all. 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) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty, "And when relatives, orphans and the needy are present at the division (of inheritance), give them something from it and speak to them words of kindness" [Surah Al-Nisa': 8] , that he said: "These people should be given something (as a gift), and if the wealth is scarce, an apology should be made to them in a kind manner." 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 said: When Allah Almighty revealed these verses, "And do not approach the wealth of the orphan except in the way that is best" [Surah Al-An'am: 152] and "Indeed, those who devour the wealth of orphans unjustly are only filling their bellies with fire, and they will soon burn in a blazing Fire" [Surah Al-Nisa': 10] , everyone who had an orphan with him separated his own food and drink from the orphan's food and drink, so that if anything was left over from his food and drink it would be kept aside until either the orphan ate it or it went bad. This situation became very hard on them, so they mentioned it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "And they ask you about orphans. Say: Improving their condition is best, and if you mix your affairs with theirs, they are your brothers" [Surah Al-Baqarah: 220] . So (after this) the Companions mixed their food and drink with the orphans' food and drink. 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 Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me among Banu Salimah when I was ill. I said: O Messenger of Allah, how should I divide my wealth among my children? He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me no answer, and then this verse was revealed: "Allah instructs you concerning your children" [Surah Al-Nisa': 11] . The two Shaykhs agreed on recording, in this chapter, the narration of Shu'bah from Muhammad bin al-Munkadir with wording other than this; and this chain is sahih (authentic), but they did not record it (with this wording).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "If only I had asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about three things, that would have been dearer to me than red camels: (first,) who would be the caliph after him? (Second,) about people who say: We acknowledge that zakah is due on our wealth, but we will not pay it to you; is it lawful to fight them? And (third,) about kalalah (one who leaves neither parent nor child)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and they did not record it.
