CHAPTER 25 The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa as a Great Judge 646 prisoner to serve as a domestic servant. The Holy Prophet Muhammad sa said, "By God I cannot deprive 'Ahl-e- S uffah' (the poor Companions who lived near the mosque) by allowing you a servant. These people are starving and have no money to feed themselves. I would sell these slaves and spend the money for 'Ahl-e- S uffah'. " 32 Acting in this manner he favoured the poor Companions over his own daughter Hadrat F at imah ra and son-in-law Hadrat ‘Al i ra and set an excellent example of justice. In brief the Holy Prophet Muhammad sa set ultimate standards of dispensation of justice. 1 S ir atul H albiyyah, vol. 1, p. 90. 2 Musnad A hm ad bin H ambal, vol. 3, p. 425. 3 Bukh ari Kit ab ul A h kam, BabH al Yaqdil Qadi au Yafti wa h uwa Ghadban. 4 A bu D a’u d Kit ab ul Aqdhiyah, Bab kaifal Qada’. 5 Bukh ari Kit ab ush Shahadat, Bab man Iqamal Baina h Ba‘dal Yamin. 6 Bukh ari Kit ab ush Shahadat, Bab La Yash h adu ‘ala Sha h adati Jaui Idha Ash h ada. 7 ‘Umdatul Q ari Shara h Bukh ari by ‘Ain i. 8 A bu D a’u d Kit ab ud Diy a t, Bab An-Nafsu bin Nafsi. 9 Bukh ari Kit ab ud Diy a t, Bab man Iqada bi H aj. 10 Musnad A hm ad bin H ambal, vol. 3, p. 422. 11 Bukh ari Kit ab ul Anbiya’, Bab wa inna Yunusa laminal Mursalin. 12 Bukh ari Kit ab u sS al a t, Bab Taqadi wal Malazama h fil Masjid. 13 A bu D a’u d Kit ab ul Adab, Bab fi Qiblatil Jism. 14 A bu D a’u d Kit ab ud Diy a t, Bab Al-Qaud min Dharbah. 15 Majma‘uz Zaw a ’id by Haitham i , vol. 9, p. 289. 16 Musnad A hm ad bin H ambal, vol. 2, p. 390. 17 Bukh ari Kit ab ul Magh a z i , Bab Ghazwatul Fat h. 18 Nasbur Rayah fi Tak h rij A h adit h il H adayah, vol. 4, p. 336. 19 Bukh ari Kit ab ul Magh a z i , Bab Maqaman Nabi Zamanal Fat h. 20 A bu D a’u d Kit ab ud Diy a t, Bab La Yu’khadhu A h adun bi Jarirati A h ad. 21 A bu D a’u d Kit ab ul Nika h , Bab fil Qism Baiman Nisa’, vol. 1. 22 Bukh ari Kit ab ul Mazalim, Bab Idha Kasara Qis‘atu au Shainan li Ghairi h i.
