'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) (RA) said that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) cursed the one who accepted interest and the one who paid it I asked about the one who recorded it, and two witnesses to it. He (the narrator) said: We narrate what we have heard.

Jabir said that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) cursed the accepter of interest and its payer, and one who records it, and the two witnesses, and he said: They are all equal.

Nu'man bin Bashir (RA) reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon himn) as having said this (and Nu'man) pointed towards his ears with his fingers): What is lawful is evident and what is unlawful is evident, and in between them are the things doubtful which many people do not know. So he who guards against doubtful things keeps his religion and honour blameless, and he who indulges in doubtful things indulges in fact in unlawful things, just as a shepherd who pastures his animals round a preserve will soon pasture them in it. Beware, every king has a preserve, and the things God his declaced unlawful are His preserves. Beware, in the body there is a piece of flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound and if it is corrupt the whole body is corrupt, and hearken it is the heart.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Zakariya with the same chain of transmitters.

AI-Nu'man bin Bashir reported it from Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . The hadith narrated by Zakariya is, however, more complete and lengthy than the other ones.

Nu'man bin Bashir bin Sa'd, a Companion of Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was heard delivering a sermon at Hims and was saying: I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: The lawful is evident and the unlawful is evident, the rest of the hadith is the same as related by Zakariya.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported that he was travelling on his camel which had grown jaded, and he decided to let it off. When Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) met him and prayed for him and struck it, so it trotted as it had never trotted before. He said: Sell it to me for an 'uqaya. I said: No. He again said: Sell it to me. So I sold it to him for an 'uqaya, but made the stipulation that I should be allowed to ride back to my family. Then when I came to (my place) I took the camel to him and he paid me its price in ready money. I then went back and he sent: (someone) behind me (and as I came) he said: Do you see that I asked you to reduce price for buying your camel. Take your camel and your coins; these are yours.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jabir through another chain of transmitters.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported: I went on an expedition with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . He overtook me and I was on a water-carrying camel who had grown tired and did not walk (trot). He (the Holy Prophet) said to me: What is the matter with your camel? I said: It is sick. He (the Holy Prophet) stepped behind and drove it and prayed for it, and then it always moved ahead of other camels. He (then) said: How do you find your camel? I said: It is, by the grace of your prayer, all right. He said: Would you sell this (camel) to me? I felt shy (to say him," No") as we had no other camel for carrying water, but (later on) I said: Yes, and to I sold it to him on the condition that (I would be permitted) to ride it until I reached Madina. I said to him: Allah's Messenger, I am newly married, so I asked his permission (to go ahead of the caravan). He permitted me, and I reached Madinah well in advance of other people, until I reached my destination. There my maternal uncle met me and asked me about the camel, and I told him what I had done with regard to it. He reproved me in this connection. He (Jabir) said: When I asked his permission (to go ahead of the caravan) Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) inquired of me whether I had married a virgin or a non-virgin. I said to him: I have married a non-virgin. He said: Why did you not marry a virgin who would have played with you and you would have played with her? I said to him: Allah's Messenger, my father died (or he fell as a martyr), and I have small sisters to (look after), so I did not like the idea that I should marry a woman who is like them and thus be not able to teach them manners and look after them properly. So I have married a non-virgin so that she should be able to look after them and teach them manners, When Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to Madinah, I went to him in the morning with the camel. He paid me its price and returned that (the camel) to me.

Jabir reported: We went from Makkah to Madinah with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) when my camel fell ill, and the rest of the hadith is the same. (But it in also narrated in it:) He (the Holy Prophet) said to me: Sell your camel to me. I said: No, but it is yours. He said: No. (it can't be), but sell it to me. I said: No, but, Allah's Messenger, it is yours. He said: No, it can't be, but sell it to me. I said: Then give me an 'uqaya of gold for I owe that to a person and then it would be yours. He (the Holy Prophet) said: I take it (for an 'uqiya of gold) and you reach Madinah on it. As I reached Madinah, Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to Bilal (RA): Give him an 'uqiya of gold and make some extra payment too. He (Jabir) said: He gave me an 'uqiya of gold and made an addition of a qirat. He (Jabir) said: The addition made by Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was with me (as a sacred trust for belssing) and lay with me in a pocket until the people of Syria took it on the Day of Harra.
