Rafi‘ b. Khadij reported the Prophet as saying,“If anyone sows in other people’s land without their permission he has no right to any of the crop, but he may have what it cost him.”Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a gharib tradition.

Qais b. Muslim told that Abu Ja'far said there was not a family of the Emigrants who did not cultivate ground for a third and a quarter of the produce, and ‘Ali, Sa‘d b. Malik, ‘Abdallah b. Mas'ud, ‘Umar b. ‘Abd al-Aziz, al-Qasim, ‘Urwa, the family of Abu Bakr, the family of ‘Umar, the family of ‘Ali, and Ibn Sirin made contracts for part of the produce in return for working land. ‘Abd ar-Rahman b. al- Aswad said that he partnered 'Abd ar-Rahman b. Yazid in cultivation, and ‘Umar employed people on condition that if he provided the seed he should have half the crop, and if they provided the seed they should have such and such. Bukhari transmitted it.

‘Abdallah b. Mughaffal told that Thabit b. ad-Dahhak asserted that God’s Messenger forbade employing people on land for a share of the produce and ordered that they should be employed for a wage, saying there was no harm in it. Muslim transmitted it.

Ibn ‘Abbas said the Prophet had himself cupped and gave the cupper his pay; and he poured medicine into his nose. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

Abu Huraira reported the Prophet as saying,“God has not sent a prophet who did not work as a shepherd.”His companions asked whether this was also true of him and he replied,“Yes, I used to be a shepherd for the people of Mecca for a payment of some qirats.”Bukhari transmitted it.

He reported God’s Messenger as saying that God most high has said,“There are three whose adversary I shall be on the day of resurrection:a man who gave a promise in my name then acted faithlessly; a man who sold a free man and enjoyed the price he received for him; and a man who hired a servant and, after receiving full service from him, did not give him his wages.”Bukhari transmitted it.

Ibn 'Abbas said some of the Prophet's companions passed a watering-place where there was one who had been stung by a scorpion or bitten by a snake. One of the inhabitants of the watering-place accosted them and asked whether anyone among them could apply a charm, for at the watering-place there was a man who had been stung by a scorpion or bitten by a snake. One of them went and recited Fatihat al-Kitab in return for some sheep, and he was cured; but when he brought the sheep to his companions they disapproved of that saying,“You have taken payment for God’s Book.”When they came to Medina and told God’s Messenger that he had taken payment for God's Book, he replied,“The most worthy thing for which you have taken payment is God’s Book." Bukhari transmitted it. In a version he said,“You have done right. Divide them and give me a share along with you."

Kharija b. as-Salt quoted his paternal uncle as saying:We came to a clan of the Arabs after leaving God's Messenger and they said,“We have been told that you have brought what is good from this man. Have you any medicine, or a charm, for we have a lunatic in chains?" When we replied that we had, they brought a lunatic in chains and I recited Fatihat al-Kitab over him three days morning and evening, collecting my saliva and then spitting it out, and he seemed as if he were set free from a bond. They gave me some payment, but I refused to accept it till I had asked the Prophet. When I did so he said,“Accept it*, for by my life, some accept it for a worthless charm, but you have done so for a genuine one." Ahmad and Abu Dawud transmitted it. * Literally "eat”.

‘Abdallah b. ‘Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying,“Give the hireling his wages before his sweat dries." Ibn Majah transmitted it.

Al-Husain b. ‘Ali reported God’s Messenger as saying,“The beggar has a right, even if he comes on a horse*." *This tradition means that one must not accuse a beggar of making false pretenses of being in need, even when circumstances suggest that that is so. Ahmad and Abu Dawud transmitted it. In al-Masabih it is given in mursal form.
