Allah's Apostle said, "An army will invade the Kaaba and when the invaders reach Al-Baida, all the ground will sink and swallow the whole army." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! How will they sink into the ground while amongst them will be their markets (the people who worked in business and not invaders) and the people not belonging to them?" The Prophet replied, "all of those people will sink but they will be resurrected and judged according to their intentions."

Allah's Apostle said, "The congregational prayer of anyone amongst you is more than twenty (five or twenty seven) times in reward than his prayer in the market or in his house, for if he performs ablution completely and then goes to the mosque with the sole intention of performing the prayer, and nothing urges him to proceed to the mosque except the prayer, then, on every step which he takes towards the mosque, he will be raised one degree or one of his sins will be forgiven. The angels will keep on asking Allah's forgiveness and blessings for everyone of you so long as he keeps sitting at his praying place. The angels will say, 'O Allah, bless him! O Allah, be merciful to him!' as long as he does not do Hadath or a thing which gives trouble to the other." The Prophet further said, "One is regarded in prayer so long as one is waiting for the prayer."

Allah's Apostle said, "He who buys food stuff should not sell it till he is satisfied with the measure with which he has bought it.

from Malik bin Aus, that the latter said, "Who has change?" Talha said, "I (will have change) when our store-keeper comes from the forest." Narrated Umar bin Al-Khattab: Allah's Apostle said, "The bartering of gold for silver is Riba, (usury), except if it is from hand to hand and equal in amount, and wheat grain for wheat grain is usury except if it is form hand to hand and equal in amount, and dates for dates is usury except if it is from hand to hand and equal in amount, and barley for barley is usury except if it is from hand to hand and equal in amount."

I saw the people buy foodstuff randomly (i.e. blindly without measuring it) in the life-time of Allah's Apostle and they were punished (by beating), if they tried to sell it before carrying it to their own houses.

Allah's Apostle said, "Do not urge somebody to return what he has already bought (i.e. in optional sale) from another seller so as to sell him your own goods."

Allah's Apostle forbade the selling of things by a town dweller on behalf of a desert dweller; and similarly Najsh was forbidden. And one should not urge somebody to return the goods to the seller so as to sell him his own goods; nor should one demand the hand of a girl who has already been engaged to someone else; and a woman should not try to cause some other woman to be divorced in order to take her place.

Rarely did the Prophet (saw) fail to visit Abu Bakr's house everyday, either in the morning or in the evening. When the permission for migration to Madina was granted, all of a sudden the Prophet (saw) came to us at noon and Abu Bakr was informed, who said, "Certainly the Prophet has come for some urgent matter." The Prophet (saw) said to Abu Bakr, when the latter entered "Let nobody stay in your home." Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Apostle! (saw) There are only my two daughters (namely Aisha and Asma) present." The Prophet (saw) said, "I feel (am informed) that I have been granted the permission for migration." Abu Bakr said, "I will accompany you, O Allah's Apostle! (saw)" The Prophet (saw) said, "You will accompany me." Abu Bakr then said "O Allah's Apostle! (saw) I have two she-camels I have prepared specially for migration, so I offer you one of them. The Prophet (saw) said, "I have accepted it on the condition that I will pay its price."

On the day of the conquest of Makkah, the Prophet (SAW) said, "there is no more emigration (from Makkah) but jihad and intentions, and whenever you are called for jihad, you should go immediately. No doubt Allah (SWT) has made this place (Makkah) a sanctuary since the creation of the heavens and the earth, and will remain a sanctuary yill the Day of Resurrection as Allah (SWT) has ordained its sanctity. Fighting was not permissable in it for anyone before me, and even for me it was allowed only for a portion of a day. So, it is a sanctuary withs Allah's (SWT) sanctity till the Day of Resurrection. Its thorns should not be uprooted and its game should not be chased; and its Luqata (fallen things) should not be picked up except by the one who would announce that publicly, and its vegetation (grass etc.) should not be cut." Al-Abbas said "O Allah's messenger! (SAW) Except al-idhkir (for it is used by their blacksmiths, and for their domestic purposes)." So the prophet (SAW) said, "Except al-idhkhir."
