Hazrat Alqamah narrates that a man came to Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: One of our men married a woman, and neither was her dowry fixed nor had they consummated the marriage when the man died. So Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Since I parted from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I have not been asked about anything heavier than this question! Ikrimah narrates that he remained in doubt and uncertainty about this issue for a month, then said: Soon I will present my personal opinion on this matter; if it is correct, it will be from Allah Almighty, and if it is wrong, then that opinion will be from myself and from Satan. My opinion is that this woman will receive a dowry equal to that of women of her status, neither less nor more, and this woman will also receive inheritance, and it will be obligatory for her to observe the waiting period (‘iddah) for her deceased husband. Then some people from the tribe of Ashja’ stood up and said: We bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the same verdict regarding one of our women as you have given, and that woman’s name was Barwah bint Washiq. Ikrimah narrates: I have never seen Ibn Masood as happy as he was on that day.

Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that one of us gave a date palm tree to his mother during her lifetime.

Hazrat Muhammad bin Abi Darrar narrates that two men brought a dispute to the service of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so he, peace and blessings be upon him, gave a verdict against one of them. Muhammad bin Abi Darrar narrates that the man began to glare, as if he was rejecting the verdict of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and desiring otherwise. So the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: I am only a human being; I give judgment according to what I deem appropriate. So if I have given a verdict in favor of someone regarding his brother’s right, then he should not take that right.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) decreed that the benefit from a slave belongs to the one who bears responsibility for him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "You bring your disputes to me, and I am only a human being. Perhaps some of you may present your argument more eloquently than others, so I judge between you according to what I hear. Thus, if I have judged in favor of someone, granting him a right that belongs to his brother, then he should not take it, for I have only given him a piece of fire, which he will carry on the Day of Resurrection."

So Imam Zuhri says that I said, "O Commander of the Faithful! It is not within your power to abolish it, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself, and after him the Rightly Guided Caliphs, have given rulings regarding it."
