EXTRACTS FROM THE HOLY HADITHS
The Hadith are the traditions of deeds and words attributed to the Prophet Muhammad which, after the Koran, provide the basis of Islamic Law and are second in importance.
The Prophet used to sit with his Companions in a circle. His sayings and actions were carefully noted and memorized. Thousands of hadiths were collected dealing with topics such as religious faith, purification, fasting, pilgrimage, trading transactions, inheritance, punishment, warfare, animal sacrifice, food, clothing, manners, Paradise and Hell.

The Prophet said: "Those who paint pictures would be punished on the Day of Resurrection and it would be said to them: 'Breathe soul into what you have created'". The commentator says that an artist wishes to rival the creator or to create something to worship? Even photographs or statues are not exempted from this stricture and yet we all have seen photographs of the Ayatollah and of martyrs in that most Islamic of countries, Iran.
Muslim 886 Mohawks beware.
The Prophet forbade Qaz'a. This means having a part of a boy's head shaved and leaving a part unshaven.

Muslim 1153 There was a Muslim who used to transcribe for the Prophet but he ran away as a rebel and joined the People of the Book. (Jews or Christians?)

Muslim 1176 The Prophet said: "Every person in Paradise will have two wives." Also: He said: "Those who get into Paradise will have their faces as bright as stars in the sky". They will neither pass water, nor void excrement, nor will they suffer from catarrh, nor will they spit, and their combs would be made of gold, and their sweat will be musk, the fuel of their brazier will be aloes, and their wives will be large-eyed maidens and their form would be alike as one single person after the form of Adam sixty cubits tall."
Muslim 1177 The Prophet said: "In Paradise there would be no dissension between the two wives and no enmity in their hearts." When questioned about what would happen to the food if there was no defecating, the Prophet said that their eating would be digested in the form of belching.

Muslim 1181 The Prophet said: "The hearts of those who enter Paradise would be like those of the hearts of birds." (The commentator says that the hearts of birds are free from jealousy or rancour. He has not seen our seagulls arguing amongst each other, picking on each other and vying for food from picnickers.)
Muslim 1182 A group was with the Prophet when they heard a terrible sound. "That," said the Prophet, "is a rock which was thrown seventy years ago in Hell and it has been constantly slipping down and now reached the bottom." Also the Prophet said: "There will be some to whose ankles the fire will reach, some to whose knees, and to whose waists and some to whose collar-bone the fire will reach."
Muslim 1183 The Prophet said: "There is no death for the inmates of Hell-fire and that increases their grief. The molar tooth or the canine tooth of an unbeliever will be like Mt Uhud and the thickness of his skin a three nights' journey." (The new body will be so gross and formidable to last Hell-Fire for ever.) The Prophet said: "The distance of the two shoulders of the non-believer in Hell will be a three-day journey for a swift rider." Talking of mischief, the Prophet said that one of them flogged his wife as if she was a slave-girl, another laughs when he breaks wind. "I saw Amr. bin Amir al-Khuyai dragging his intestines in fire and he was the one who devoted animals to deity." "In Hell are people, in the wrath of Allah, in whose hands are whips thick like the tail of an ox.
Muslim 1184 The Prophet said: "On the Day of Resurrection the people would be assembled barefooted, naked and uncircumcised." A'isha asked whether males and females would be together and look at each other. The Prophet replied that the matter would be too serious for that.
Muslim 1185 The Prophet said: "On that Day the perspiration would spread upon the earth up to their ears. 'The sun would draw so close to the people that there would be left only a distance of one mile." (At the moment it is a little over 92,000,000 miles)
Muslim 1187 The Prophet said: "When the dead body is placed in the grave, he listens to the sound of the shoes as his friends and relatives walk after burying him."

The dead bodies of the unbelievers at Badr were left unburied for three days and then thrown in the well." (Yuk!)

Hadith Malik 324:1099 Marwan gave as a gift a slave-girl to his son but told him: "Do not cohabit with her for I saw her naked shins."

Hajjaj said: "They are your fields of cultivation. If you wish to irrigate them then do so, if not keep them dry."
Hadith Malik 364:1234 If a woman suckles a baby she becomes its foster mother and her husband a foster father. If a man has two wives and one suckles a boy and the other a girl, the boy cannot marry the girl as the foster father of each is the same. (On the other hand purdah is not necessary with foster relations). (Some of the ulama say that that suckling ten times is needed to establish a foster-relationship.)
Hadith Malik 364:1239 The rule pertaining to foster-relationship only applies to children under two years. Thus (Malik 365:1243) A grown up man fed with milk of a woman does not entail fostership.
Hadith Malik 365:1245 A man said: "My wife has wilfully given my slavegirl with whom I used to cohabit her own milk to drink. What is my relationship to my slave-girl?" Omar said: "Punish your wife and go into your slave-girl."

The husband reported the matter to Umar who consulted an old midwife. She said that menstrual blood must have continued despite her pregnancy to her first husband. Umar dissolved the marriage and told the woman: "It is just as well that no evil report reached me about you and that the paternity of your first husband has been verified."
Hadith Malik 486:1511 A slave-girl had used sorcery on Hafsah, wife of the Prophet. The slave-girl was sentenced and executed.
Hadith Malik 493:1520 Ma'iz bin Malik came to Abu Bakr and said: "I am a base fellow for I have committed adultery."
Abu Bakr replied: "Repent before the Lord and tell no one else." The man still felt guilty and went to Umar who gave him the same reply. Still feeling guilty he went to the Prophet who asked if he was ill or mad, married or single. On hearing that Ma'iz was healthy and married, the Prophet ordered him to be stoned to death.
Hadith Malik 493:1524 The Prophet was told: "My son was employed with this man; he committed adultery with his wife. I gave 100 sheep and a slave girl in compensation." The Prophet said: "Take back your sheep and your slave girl. Your son will receive 100 lashes and a year in exile. As the adulteress has confessed she will be stoned."

Hadith Malik 496:1540 A man went on a journey with the slave-girl of his wife and went into her. The envious wife reported it to Umar who said the husband would be stoned unless the slave girl was owned by him. The wife spoke out to save him: "I had given her as a gift."

Hadith Malik 497:1542 The Prophet said: "The theft of fruit hanging from a tree or of a sheep straying on the hillside will not entail the cutting of a hand. When the sheep comes home or the fruit are picked and cut and they are stolen the hand will be cut off provided the price is 3 dirhams or more.
Hadith Malik 499:1549 Safwan fell asleep in the mosque with a sheet of cloth under his head. A thief stole the sheet but Safwan woke up, caught him and took him to the Prophet. When Muhammad ordered his hand to be cut off Safwan relented and tried to say that he had given the thief the cloth. The Prophet said that it was now too late to rescind the decision.
Hadith Malik 500:1551 A stranger from Yemen who already had his right hand and foot cut off stole a necklace at Medina. Abu Bakr (the first caliph) ordered his remaining hand cut off.

Mishkat 19 The Prophet, explaining to some women why they might be inmates of Hell said:"... I have seen that you are lacking in wisdom and religion and rob even wise men of their senses. Your lack of reason is shown in that your evidence is only equal to half that of a man. Your deficiency in faith is shown in that you neither fast nor pray when in a period of menses."
Mishkat 32 The Prophet said: "The best deed is love for the sake of Allah and hatred for the sake of Allah."
Mishkat 42 The Prophet said that there would not remain on the surface of the earth a single abode but Allah would bring the honour and humiliation of Islam....
Mishkat 61 The Prophet said: " do not refrain from using pressure on your children with the view to training them and inculcating in them the fear of Allah."
Mishkat 65,66,75 The Prophet said: "Sometimes the Satan asks "But who created God?" ... Then you should spit on the left side three times and seek refuge from Satan, the accursed."
Mishkat 70 The Prophet said: "The cry of an infant at the moment of birth is due to the prick of the Satan."
Mishkat 79,80 The Prophet said: "Allah prescribed the Decrees of all creatures 50,000 years before He created the heavens and the earth. His throne was on water. Everything has been decreed even in prudence and shrewdness."
Mishkat 84 A'isha, talking about a dead baby said it would certainly be among the sparrows in Paradise as it was too young to have committed any evil. The Prophet disagreed saying that Allah created some persons for Hell, right from when they were still in their father's loins.
Mishkat 91 The Prophet said Allah does not sleep... If Allah were to remove his veil, the illumination of His face would burn all His creation as far as His glance would reach.
Mishkat 94 The Prophet said: "The first thing which Allah created was the Pen. He commanded It to write. But It said: "What shall I write?" Allah said: "Write the decree", so It wrote what had happened and what would happen up to eternity."

Mishkat 134 The Prophet said: "There dominate ninety-nine dragons over the unbeliever in the grave. They constantly bite him and sting him till there comes the Hour of Resurrection. These dragons are so poisonous that if one of them exhales in the earth, no vegetation would ever grow upon it."
