MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, in his sermon in the year of the Farewell pilgrimage, said, "Indeed, God has granted every rightful person their rights, thus, there is no bequest to an heir. A child's paternity is determined by the [marital] bed, while an adulterer has only stones (1) and all are accountable to God. Whoever claims paternity from someone other than his (2) father or ascribes to those other than his manumitters (3), is eternally cursed by God, until the Day of Resurrection. A wife is not to spend from her husband's property without his permission." He was asked, "Messenger of God, not even food?" He replied, "That is the best of our wealth." Then he added, "Loans must be repaid, grants must be returned, debts must be paid off and guarantors are liable." Footnotes: (1) Scholars differed over whether this means that an adulterer is entitled to nothing (stones) or whether it means punishment by stoning. (2) Masculine pronouns are generally used in Arabic as a means for referring to both men and women when the meaning is left general and is not otherwise specified. (3) Slavery existed throughout the known world at the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him. Islām encouraged freeing slaves and gave them certain rights as members of the household. ”
