Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, soon the son of Maryam, ‘Isa (peace be upon him), will descend among the people. He will be a just ruler. He will break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya. Wealth will become so abundant that no one will accept it."

Narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that a man came to him and said, "O Abu al-Abbas (this was his kunyah)! I am a man whose livelihood depends on the work of my own hands, and I make these pictures." Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "I will tell you only what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and that is: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'Whoever makes a picture, Allah will punish him until he puts life into it, and he will never be able to put life into it.'" Hearing this, the man sighed deeply and his face turned pale. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "Woe to you! If you must do this work, then make pictures of trees or things that do not have a soul."

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "There are three persons for whom I will be an opponent on the Day of Resurrection: (1) The person who makes a covenant in My name and then breaks it; (2) The person who sells a free man and consumes his price; (3) The person who hires a laborer, gets the full work done from him, and then does not pay his wages."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say in the year of the conquest of Makkah:“Indeed, Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) have forbidden the sale of alcohol, dead animals, and idols.”The people asked,“O Messenger of Allah, what do you say about the fat of a dead animal? For it is used to caulk ships and is also unlawful.”Then at that time, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“May Allah destroy the Jews! When Allah made fat unlawful for them, they melted it, sold it, and consumed its price.”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade taking the price of a dog, the wages of prostitution, and the wages of soothsaying.
