It is narrated from Hazrat Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) that if a person buys a slave from another and then frees him before taking possession, he (Ata) said that it is not permissible to free him before taking possession.

Hazrat Sufyan says that if a person frees a slave, the slave will be released from mortgage, and if he makes him a mudabbar (a slave who will be freed after the master's death), he will also be released from mortgage. And if it is a bondwoman and he has intercourse with her and she bears a child, she too will be released from mortgage. Then, if the master is wealthy, the mortgagee will seize the master, and if the master is poor, these people (the slave and the bondwoman) will strive for the price and mortgage, whichever is less in value. Hazrat Sufyan says that then the slave will refer to his master for as much as he has strived (i.e., he will receive that much money or value from him), but umm walad (a bondwoman who has borne a child) and mudabbar will not refer to the master because their service is for the master.

23518 - Sufyan said: The (slave) (1) may reclaim from the master what he has spent if he becomes well-off, but the umm walad and the mudabbar do not reclaim anything from their master, because their service is for the master.

Hasan says that if two men wish to form a partnership, there is no harm if one brings a dinar and the other brings dirhams. He said: The dinar in its entirety is the capital, then when they wish to separate, the one with the dinar takes his dinar and the one with the dirhams takes his dirhams, and then whatever profit there is, they should divide it. Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) preferred that dirhams be with dirhams and dinars with dinars.

23520 - Hisham said: And Muhammad liked that there be dirhams and dirhams, and dinars and dinars.

Ismail says that I saw Hazrat Shurayh, may Allah have mercy on him, passing judgment, and present with him were Abu Amr al-Shaybani and other elders like him.

Hazrat Idrees says that I saw Hazrat Muharib bin Dithar, Hazrat Hammad, and Hazrat Hakam; one was on your right side and the other on your left side. They would sometimes look towards Hazrat Hakam and sometimes towards Hazrat Hammad, and the one who was arguing was in front of you.

Hazrat A’mash says that Hazrat Qasim said to me: Sit with me, and at that time he was deciding matters among the people.

It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bought a camel from a Bedouin in exchange for a wasq of dates. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to Khawlah bint Hakim, so she filled a wasq completely and gave it in full measure. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best among you is the one who gives in full and gives well."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mujahid that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) bought a calf from a Bedouin in exchange for one hundred sa’ of dates. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said to that person: Go and tell the people to eat to their fill, and keep measuring until the weight is complete (i.e., whenever you give something, give it with full weight). That person went out in such a state that he had his elbows joined together.
