Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said to her, "If you wish to join me, Aisha, be satisfied with worldly things to the<br />

extent of a rider's provision, avoid sitting with the rich, and do not consider a garment worn out till you patch it."<br />

Tirmidhi transmitted it saying this is a gharib tradition which he knew only among the traditions of Salih ibn Hasan whose<br />

traditions are stated by Muhammad ibn Isma'il to be rejected.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 3647 Narrated by<br />

Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin<br />

Are you not surprised at AbuHurayrah? He came and sat beside my apartment, and began to narrate traditions from the<br />

Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) making me hear them. I am saying supererogatory prayer. He got up (and went away)<br />

before I finished my prayer. Had I found him, I would have replied to him. The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) did not<br />

narrate traditions quickly one after another as you narrate quickly.<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 9.419 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah<br />

Allah's Apostle said, "Do not wish to be like anybody except in two cases: The case of a man whom Allah has given wealth<br />

and he spends it in the right way, and that of a man whom Allah has given religious wisdom (i.e., Qur'an and Sunna) and he<br />

gives his verdicts according to it and teaches it." (to others i.e., religious knowledge of Qur'an and Sunna (Prophet's<br />

Traditions)). "<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 2.71 Narrated by<br />

Al Bara<br />

I heard the Prophet (p.b.u.h) delivering a Khutba saying, "The first thing to be done on this day (first day of 'Id ul Adha) is to<br />

pray; and after returning from the prayer we slaughter our sacrifices (in the name of Allah) and whoever does so, he acted<br />

according to our Sunna (traditions)."<br />

TRAFFIC:<br />

2:16 - These are they who have bartered guidance for error: but their traffic is profitless and they<br />

have lost true direction.<br />

2:79 - Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say: "This is from<br />

Allah" to traffic with it for a miserable price! Woe to them for what their hands do write and for<br />

the gain they make thereby.<br />

84 The argument of i. 76 is continued. The Jews wanted to keep back knowledge, but what knowledge had they? Many of<br />

them, even if they could read, were no better than illiterates, for they knew not their own true Scriptures, but read into<br />

them what they wanted, or at best their own conjectures. They palmed off their own writings for the Message of God.<br />

Perhaps it brought them profit for the time being; but it was a miserable profit if they "gained the whole world and lost<br />

their own souls" (Matt. xvi. 26). "Writing with their own hands" means inventing books themselves, which had no divine<br />

authority. The general argument is similar. Unfaith erects its own false gods. It attributes things to causes which only<br />

exist in its own imagination. Sometimes it even indulges in actual dishonest traffic in the ignorance of the multitude. It<br />

may pay for a time, but the bubble always bursts. (2.78)<br />

4:29 – O ye who believe! eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: but let there be<br />

amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good-will: nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily<br />

Allah hath been to you Most Merciful. 541<br />

541 Let me paraphrase this verse, for there is profound meaning in it. (1) All your property you hold in trust, whether it is in<br />

your name, or belongs to the community, or to people over whom you have control. To waste is wrong. (2) In ii. 188<br />

the same phrase occurred, to caution us against greed. Here it occurs, to encourage us to increase property by<br />

economic use (traffic and trade), recalling Christ's parable of the Talents (Matt. xxv. 14-30), where the servants who<br />

had increased their master's wealth were promoted and the servant who had hoarded was cast into darkness. (3) We<br />

are warned that our waste may mean our own destruction ("nor kill or destroy yourselves.") But there is a more<br />

general meaning also: we must be careful of our own and other people's lives. We must commit no violence. This is<br />

the opposite of "trade and traffic by mutual good-will." (4) Our violence to our own brethren is particularly<br />

preposterous, seeing that Allah has loved and showered His mercies on us and all His creatures. (4.29)<br />

4:44 - Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who were given a portion of the Book? They traffic<br />

in error and wish that ye should lose the right path. 564<br />

564 Cf. iii. 23 and n. 366. (4.44)<br />
