It is narrated from Hazrat Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Abdullah bin Sahl Ansari and Muhayyisa bin Mas’ud came to Khaybar for some work. They separated from each other, and someone killed Abdullah, and he was found murdered in the middle of Khaybar. His two uncles and his brother came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). His brother’s name was Abdur Rahman bin Sahl, and the uncles’ names were Huwayyisa and Muhayyisa. Abdur Rahman began to speak before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Let the elders speak.”So one of his uncles began to speak. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Fifty men from among you should swear an oath and say that the Jews killed him.”They said,“How can we swear an oath about something we did not see with our own eyes?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Then fifty Jews should swear an oath and declare their innocence and say that they did not kill him.”They said,“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how can we trust their oath when they are polytheists?”Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) paid the blood money from his own side. One of the young camels from the blood money kicked me on the leg. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

Abdullah ibn Ahmad said: Khalaf ibn Hisham narrated to us, he said: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Yahya ibn Sa'id, from Bushayr ibn Yasar, from Sahl ibn Abi Hathmah and Rafi' ibn Khadij, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, something similar.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that my uncle told me that in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), people used to lease out land for a share of the produce or for a portion of the field which the landowner would reserve for himself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this. I asked Hazrat Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) about leasing land in exchange for dinars and dirhams. Hazrat Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said that there is no harm in this.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offer the morning prayer in brightness, for its reward is greater."

It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to give land on sharecropping and did not consider there to be any harm in it. Later, Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) informed us that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade this, so we abandoned it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The hand will not be cut off for stealing fruit or buds.

Abdul Wahid bin Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was passing by a mosque near Madinah Munawwarah when I saw that the iqamah for prayer was being called, and an elder was reproaching the muezzin, saying,“Do you not know that my father told me this hadith: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to order this prayer to be delayed?”I asked the people,“Who is this elder?”They told me,“This is Abdullah bin Rafi’ bin Khudayj (may Allah be pleased with him).”

It is narrated from Hazrat Rafi’ bin Khadij (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Tomorrow we will face our enemy (animals), while we do not have any knife? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever thing, besides teeth and nails, causes the animal’s blood to flow and Allah’s name is mentioned over it, you may eat it. And let me tell you the reason: teeth are bone and nails are the knives of the Abyssinians. During this time, some camels were received as spoils of war, among which one camel ran away. People tried very hard to control it but could not succeed. Finally, a man aimed and shot an arrow at it and brought it under control. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These animals also sometimes become wild just as wild animals become furious. When you are overpowered by an animal, do the same with it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), people used to lease cultivable land in exchange for vegetables, water channels, and some husk. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not consider it good to lease it in exchange for these things, so he forbade it. However, there is no harm in leasing it in exchange for dirhams and dinars.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: The one who collects zakat with justice for the sake of Allah is like the person who fights in the way of Allah, until he returns to his home.
