It is narrated from Hazrat Harith that when a house belongs to one person and people wish to divide it, it will be divided in the same manner as the inheritance of a deceased person is divided. If anyone claims a larger share for himself, then it will be necessary for him to bring witnesses that so-and-so gave it to him as charity or as a gift, or that so-and-so sold it to him. Then, if the people of the community wish to divide it, indeed it will be divided for the owner of the plot according to the inheritance of the deceased, and then if any person among the heirs or others claims more than the share he received from the inheritance, then it is upon him to bring witnesses for what he is claiming, that so-and-so gave it to him as charity, or it was gifted to him, or it was sold to him for such and such amount. And if among the sons of the deceased, the wife or husband demands the share that belonged to some of them, then they will be required to provide testimony that such and such person became the heir of such and such, or such and such woman became the heir of such and such, or the owner of the plot died before this. If the woman died before, then this woman will be the heir and will receive her share, and if any son of the owner of the plot claims in it and denies the shares that are in the possession of those people, then the claimant is responsible for providing testimony that so-and-so died before so-and-so, and so-and-so became the heir, and after that, I became the heir. And if the heirs admit that the woman is the wife of the owner of the house and she claims her share from the family of the owner, then it will be established upon them, and if they say that she was divorced before death, then it is upon them to bring witnesses that he had divorced her, otherwise, inheritance will be obligatory for her. And if the house was purchased and is in the possession of some people, then it will belong to those in whose possession it is, and if anyone claims in it, then it is obligatory upon him to provide testimony that he has a right in it.

Hazrat Aamir says that the thing I find most strange about people is when they say that so-and-so has just today given testimony that this property belongs to so-and-so.

Hazrat Harith and Hazrat Hammad, may Allah have mercy on them, say that if a person says to another, "Go towards the door of the house, I will give you five dirhams," it is stated: For him, it will be as such.

Ibrahim and Hazrat Sha’bi (may Allah have mercy on them) state regarding the person who, by deception, received a child born of adultery. If he set him free and later found out that he was a child born of adultery, they replied that the emancipation will take effect, and the one who committed the deception will bear the cost from his wealth, and the right of allegiance (wala’) will belong to him.

Hazrat Iyas bin Mu'awiyah says regarding the person who was bidding for something, that another person came and also intended to bid, but the previous bidder forbade him. So, Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) is of the opinion that this is a contract.

It is narrated from Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, that a man sold his slave. There was a disease in the slave's hair, but he concealed this disease. When the buyer came to know of the disease, he brought the case before Hazrat Shurayh. Hazrat Shurayh said that you concealed the defect. He ordered that the slave be returned.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr that I buy something for a thousand dirhams, but before packing, I say that I will give a hundred dinars. Is this permissible?

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever indulges in adulteration is not from among us.

Hasan and Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on them, said that adulteration is forbidden.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Burdah that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever indulges in adulteration is not from among us.
