It is narrated from Hazrat Ammarah bin Abi Hafsah that two people, while arguing, came to Hasan, and then said to him, "Make him swear an oath that his father did not testify in favor of his father." Hasan said, "Would any sensible person swear an oath on this?"

Hazrat Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) says regarding the person who comes into possession of unlawful wealth: If he wishes to rid himself of that wealth, then he should dispose of it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Malik bin Dinar that a person asked Hazrat Ata bin Abi Rabah, "A person has acquired unlawful wealth, what should he do?" He replied, "He should return it to its owner, and if the owner is not known, then he should give it in charity. I do not know whether by doing so his sin will be absolved."

A person asked Hazrat Ata that I was a slave and I acquired some wealth through means that I do not like; now I want to repent! He replied: Return the wealth to its owner. I said: I do not know them. He said: Give it in charity; you will not get any reward, and I do not know whether its sin will be upon you or not. The narrator says that I asked Hazrat Mujahid about this matter; he also replied in the same way.

24660 - (He said) (1): (And I asked) (2) Mujahid, and he said: the same as that.

It is narrated from Hazrat Rabee’ that a person asked Hazrat Abu Ja’far (may Allah have mercy on him):“My friend acquired unlawful wealth, then he mixed all of it with his family and their wealth. Later, when he realized the evil and wrong in it, he spent all that wealth on Hajj and on the neighbors of the House of Allah. What is your opinion regarding this?”Hazrat Abu Ja’far replied:“He should fear Allah and not do such a thing again.”

It is narrated from Hasan that if a person has collected someone else's wealth or has stolen someone's wealth, and he wants to return it in such a way that the owner does not know (is not aware of it), so he delivers the goods to him, then there is no harm in it.

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Iyas bin Muawiyah were asked about a slave who was jointly owned by three people. One of them made his share a mukatab (contracted for freedom), and one freed his share. Then the slave died in this state, having left behind some wealth. Who will receive the wealth? Hazrat Anas and Hazrat Iyas decided that the wealth he left behind will be equally divided among them.

Hazrat Musa bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Rabah narrates that I asked Hazrat Zuhri: A mukatab (contracted slave) married a free woman and had children from her. Then he bought a slave woman and had children from her as well, and then he himself passed away, while some amount of his contract of manumission remained unpaid. Who will strive to pay the remaining amount of the contract? He replied: The boy who was born from the slave woman will do so.

Hazrat Sha’bah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Hammad about a person who lived in a house for some time, then some people came and presented witnesses that this house belonged to their ancestors? He replied: No, until they present witnesses for this, the house still belongs to the one living in it.
