It is narrated from Ibrahim al-Nakha'i that al-Dahhak bin Qays intended to appoint Masruq to some office. Umarah bin Uqbah said to him: "Are you appointing as governor a man who is one of the remnants of the killers of Uthman?" Masruq replied to him: "Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to us, and he was, in our view, a truthful narrator, that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to kill your father (Uqbah bin Abi Mu'ayt), he asked: '(After my death) what will become of the children?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The Fire' (that is, their abode is Hell). So I am pleased for you with what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was pleased with for you." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take them back, and then sell them both together; do not separate them." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it, and it has another chain which is also sahih on the condition of the two Shaykhs.

Some people said: O Messenger of Allah, they have spoken the truth; return them (the slaves) to them. At this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry and said: "O people of Quraysh, I think you will not desist until Allah sends against you someone who will strike your necks over this matter." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) refused to return them, and said: "They are the freed ones of Allah."

Abdullah bin Buraydah narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever a people broke a covenant, killing was set loose among them; whenever indecency appeared among a people, Allah set death (epidemics) upon them; and whenever a people withheld zakah, Allah withheld the rain from them."

This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, for he used both Muhammad bin Abi al-Mujalid and Abdullah bin Abi al-Mujalid as evidence, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The fragrance of Paradise can be perceived from a distance of a hundred years' travel, and whoever kills a mu'ahad (a non-Muslim with whom there is a covenant of peace), Allah will forbid Paradise and (finding) its fragrance to him."
