It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A person's house is his sanctuary; whoever tries to enter your sanctuary (without permission), kill him.

Once Sufyan bin Uyaynah, may Allah have mercy on him, listed the names of the Naqaba, and among them he mentioned the name of Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit, may Allah be pleased with him, and said that Hazrat Ubadah, may Allah be pleased with him, participated in the Pledge of Aqabah, the Battle of Badr, Uhud, and the Pledge of Ridwan, and he was among the Naqaba.

Yahya bin Abi Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I have come to know that the number of Naqibs is twelve, and among them, the name of Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) was also mentioned.

Ibn Ishaq says that Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), son of Qais bin Asram bin Fihr bin Tha'labah bin Ghanm bin Awf bin Khazraj, was among those twelve individuals who participated in the first pledge of Aqabah with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Miqdad bin Ma’dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him), Abu Darda, and Harith bin Mu’awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) were sitting and discussing hadith. Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him),“Ubadah! In such and such battles, what did the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say regarding the khums (one-fifth share of war booty)?”He replied,“The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in prayer during that battle, placing a camel from the spoils of war as a sutrah (barrier) in front of him. When he finished the prayer and turned in greeting, he stood up, took the camel’s hump between his two fingers, and said, ‘This is your war booty, and apart from the khums, my share in it is equal to yours, and the khums is also returned to you. Therefore, if anyone has even a needle or thread, let him bring it, or if he has something bigger or smaller, let him return it as well. Do not commit treachery with the spoils of war, for treachery will be a cause of fire and shame for the traitor in this world and the Hereafter. Strive in Allah’s path against people, whether they are near or far, and do not care about the blame of any blamer regarding Allah. Uphold Allah’s limits in both travel and residence, and strive in Allah’s path, for striving in Allah’s path is one of the gates of Paradise, through which Allah grants relief from grief and distress to a person.’”

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat ‘Ubada (may Allah be pleased with him) that among the judgments of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is also this: the blood of one who is killed while mining is wasted; the blood of one who dies by falling into a well is wasted; and the blood of one who dies from the wound of an animal is wasted. Also, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decreed that one-fifth of buried treasure (rikaz) is for the public treasury (Bayt al-Mal). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also decreed that the dates of a tree will belong to the one who grafted it, unless the buyer stipulates otherwise.

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also decreed that the property of a slave will be considered as belonging to the master who sold him.

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also decreed that the child will belong to the owner of the bed, and for the adulterer there will be stones.

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also decreed that partners in land and houses have the right of pre-emption (shuf‘a). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also decreed that Haml bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) will inherit from his wife who was killed by another woman.

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also decreed that in the case of killing a fetus, the killer must pay a slave (male or female), whose heirs will be the husband and sons of the murdered woman. Haml bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) had children from both wives, so the father of the murderess, against whom the judgment was passed, said to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):“O Messenger of Allah! How can I pay compensation for a child who neither cried nor made a sound, who neither ate nor drank? Such things are usually left aside.”The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“This is from the soothsayers (who speak in rhymed and measured phrases).”

Also, regarding the wide part in the middle of the road where owners wish to extend their construction, it was decreed that seven cubits (width) should be left for the road, and this road was named“Mayta’”(dead, deserted). Also, regarding one, two, or three gardens in which people disputed the rights, it was decreed that wherever the branches of each garden or tree reach, that area will be included in that garden.

Also, regarding water channels in gardens, it was decreed that the first owner will irrigate his land before the next, and will let the water reach the ankles, then leave water for his neighbor, and so on until the gardens are finished or the water runs out.

It was also decreed that a woman should not give anything from her wealth to anyone without her husband’s permission.

It was also decreed that two valleys inherited will be divided equally, one-sixth each.

It was also decreed that if a person frees his share in a slave and has wealth, it is obligatory for him to grant complete freedom to the slave.

It was also decreed that no one should harm or be harmed.

It was also decreed that the oppressor has no right to a vein (i.e., no right to inheritance).

It was also decreed that city dwellers will not be prevented from using the collected water of wells in date gardens.

It was also decreed that villagers will not be prevented from taking extra water, so that extra grass may not be withheld from them.

It was also decreed that the major blood money (diyat kubra) consists of thirty bint labun, thirty hiqqah, and forty pregnant she-camels.

It was also decreed that the minor blood money (diyat sughra) consists of thirty bint labun, thirty hiqqah, twenty bint makhad, and twenty male ibn makhad.

After the passing of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when camels became expensive and dirhams became of little value, Hazrat ‘Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) fixed the price of the blood money camels at six thousand dirhams, with one uqiyyah of silver for each camel. After some time, camels became even more expensive and dirhams even less valuable, so Hazrat ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) added two thousand dirhams, calculating two uqiyyahs for each camel. After some more time, camels became even more expensive, so Hazrat ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) fixed the total blood money at twelve thousand dirhams, calculating three uqiyyahs for each camel. One third of the blood money was increased in the sacred months (ashhur hurum), and the other third in the Sacred City (Makkah Mukarramah), thus the blood money for the two Harams became a full twenty thousand dirhams. It was said that blood money could be taken from villagers in animals, and they should not be obliged to pay in gold and silver. Similarly, from every nation, things of equal value to the price could be taken.

Abdullah narrated to us, As-Salt ibn Mas'ud narrated to us, Al-Fudayl ibn Sulayman narrated to us, Musa ibn Uqbah narrated to us from Ishaq ibn Al-Walid ibn 'Ubadah ibn As-Samit from 'Ubadah who said: "Among the judgments of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, is that the mine is a guarantee." And he mentioned something similar to the hadith of Abu Kamil in its entirety, except that they differed in the chain of narration. Abu Kamil said in his hadith: from Ishaq ibn Yahya ibn Al-Walid ibn 'Ubadah that 'Ubadah said: "Among the judgments of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him..." And As-Salt said: from Ishaq ibn Al-Walid ibn 'Ubadah from 'Ubadah: "That among the judgments of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him..." and he mentioned the hadith.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that this verse was revealed to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Those women who commit indecency..." So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dealt with such women in this manner. Once, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting and we were also sitting around him (when revelation began to descend upon the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him). Whenever revelation would descend upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his attention would turn away from us and we would also move away. The color of the Noble Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face would change and he would experience great difficulty. In any case, when the state of revelation ended, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take this from me, take this from me. Allah Almighty has set a way for women: If an unmarried man commits fornication with an unmarried woman, he should be given a hundred lashes and exiled for one year. And if a married man commits fornication with a married woman, he should be given a hundred lashes and also stoned."

It is narrated from Hazrat Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever has been the leader of ten people will come on the Day of Resurrection with his hands bound, and nothing will release them except his justice. And whoever learned the Noble Qur'an and then forgot it, he will meet Allah as a leper.
