It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the ruling that the ear is without compensation, the well is without compensation, and the wound of a beast is without compensation. By ‘ajma’ is meant a quadruped, and by ‘jubār’ is meant something that is wasted, for which no blood money is paid. He ruled that one-fifth is to be taken from buried treasure (rikāz). He ruled that the fruit of a date-palm tree belongs to the one who grafted it, unless the buyer stipulates at the time of purchase to take it. He ruled that the property of a sold slave belongs to the seller, unless the buyer stipulates at the time of the transaction. He ruled that the child belongs to the one on whose bed it is born, and for the adulterer there are stones (i.e., stoning). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled the right of pre-emption (shuf‘a) for partners in land and houses. He ruled that Sayyiduna Haml bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) should be given his share from the inheritance of his wife, whom his other wife had killed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that the blood money for a fetus killed in the womb is a slave man or woman, and said that the husband of the murdered woman and her sons will be her heirs. Haml bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) had children from both wives. The father of the killer said: O Messenger of Allah! How can I pay blood money for one who neither cried out, nor screamed, nor drank, nor ate? Such a case should be void and wasted. But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the rhyming speech of soothsayers. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled regarding the platform that was in the way and whose owners intended to build upon it, that seven hand-spans of the path should be left before building, and that it would be a public thoroughfare. He ruled that when people dispute over one, two, or three date-palm trees, the area up to the extent of each tree’s branches will belong to the owner. He ruled that when irrigating date-palms from flowing water in canals, the upper land should be irrigated first until the water reaches the ankles, then it should be let down to the adjacent lower land, and so on, until the gardens or the water run out. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that a woman may not give away her wealth without her husband’s permission. He ruled that two grandmothers will receive one-sixth from inheritance, divided equally between them. He ruled that whoever frees his share in a jointly owned slave, if he has wealth, must free the entire slave. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that (one who causes loss to his brother by reducing his right) and (causing more harm than the harm received) is not permissible. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled that an oppressor has no right to the root (of a tree). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled among the people of Madinah regarding date-palms that surplus water from wells should not be withheld. He ruled among the villagers that surplus water should not be withheld so as to prevent people from surplus grass. He ruled that in major blood money (diyat-e-kubra) there should be thirty two-year-old camels, thirty three-year-old camels, and forty pregnant camels. He ruled that in minor blood money (diyat-e-sughra) there should be thirty two-year-old camels, thirty three-year-old camels, twenty one-year-old camels, and twenty one-year-old male camels. Then, after the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), when camels became expensive and dirhams became cheap during the time of Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he set the price of the blood money camels at six thousand dirhams, valuing one camel at one uqiyyah. Later, when camels became more expensive and dirhams depreciated, Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) set the price of each camel at two uqiyyahs, increasing the total by two thousand dirhams. Then, when camels became even more expensive and dirhams depreciated further, he set the price of each camel at three uqiyyahs, making the total twelve thousand dirhams. He added one-third to the blood money in the sacred month, and another one-third in the sacred city, so the blood money for these two sanctities became twenty thousand dirhams. Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that blood money should be taken from the livestock of the villagers, and they should not be obliged to pay in gold and silver; the compensation should be taken from the wealth that each people possess, according to their means.

Narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the verdict that the ear is forfeited, … then he mentioned the previous narration of Abu Kamil in full, but mentioned the difference of two narrators: one said "min qada’i Rasulillah (peace and blessings be upon him)" and the other said "inna min qada’i Rasulillah (peace and blessings be upon him)", and then narrated the entire hadith.

Under this chapter, the following sub-chapters and hadiths have been mentioned.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The testimony of a deceitful man or woman is not permissible, nor of one who harbors malice in his heart against his brother. Similarly, the testimony of a person who is a servant and subordinate of a family is also not permissible. Apart from these, the testimony of all other individuals is permissible. By "al-qani‘" is meant the person upon whom the household spends. In another narration: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rejected the testimony of the one who is a servant and subordinate of a household in favor of the household, and declared the testimony of the rest of the individuals permissible.

(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The testimony of a treacherous person is not permissible, nor of the one upon whom a legal punishment has been carried out in Islam, nor of the one who harbors malice against his brother.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I married the daughter of Abu Wahab, but then a black woman came and said that she had breastfed both of us (husband and wife). Upon hearing this, I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and stood before him and told him about it, but he turned away from me. Then I moved to his right side and said the same thing, but he again turned away from me. I said: O Messenger of Allah! She is just a common black woman (how can her word be trusted?). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: How can you two stay together now, when this has been said?

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person sees the truth, or is present upon it, or hears it, then the awe of people should not prevent him from stating the truth. Abu Sa'id said: I wish I had not heard this hadith.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you who is the best witness? He is the one who gives testimony before he is asked for it.

(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The best testimony is that which the witness presents on his own before being asked.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best era in my Ummah is the one in which I am present, then the era of those who come after them, then the era of those who come after them. (The narrator says that I do not know whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said it a third time or not.) Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then there will come people who will love obesity and will give testimony before it is asked for.
