2a] The Prophet (peace andblessings of Allaah be upon him) and the establishment of the Islamic society

2a]
Is there a marketplace where people trade?" He said, "The marketplace
of Qaynuqaa'." So the next day 'Abd al-Rahmaan went there and took
some cottage cheese and ghee, and he did that the next day. It was not
long before 'And al-Rahmaan came with traces of yellow (perfume) on
him. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said, "Have you gotten married?" He said, "Yes?" He said, "To
whom?" He said, "A woman from among the Ansaar." He said, "How much
was the mahr?" He said, "A gold piece equal in weight to adate stone
(or a date stone of gold)." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) said to him, "Give a wedding feast (waleemah), even if
with one sheep."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1943.
2 – It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him)
that when the Muhaajireen came to Madeenah, a Muhaajir would inherit
from an Ansaari to the exclusion of the Ansaari's own relatives,
because of the bonds of brotherhoodthat the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) had established between them. When
the verse "And to everyone, We have appointed heirs" [al-Nisa' 4:33 –
interpretation of the meaning] was revealed, that was abrogated. And
the phrase "To those also with whom you have made a pledge
(brotherhood)" [al-Nisa' 4:33 – interpretation of the meaning] has to
do with the covenant of helping, supporting and advising one another.
So the rights of inheritance no longer apply, but they may bequeath to
one another.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2170.
Thirdly:
Zakaah was prescribed in the second year of the Hijrah, which made the
rich and poor more equal and increased the coherence of the Madeenan
society, and the bonds of brotherhoodfor the sake of Allaah became
stronger than before. Indeed, the matterwent further than zakaah to
include voluntary charity.
It was narrated that Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him)
said: Abu Talhah was the wealthiest of the Ansaar of Madeenah in terms
of palm trees, and the dearest of his wealth to him was (the garden
of) Bayraha', which was opposite the mosque. TheMessenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to enter it and drink
from good water that was to be found there. Anas said: When the verse
"By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness — here it
means Allaah's reward, i.e.Paradise), unless you spend (in Allaah's
Cause) of that which you love" [Aal- Imraan 3:92 – interpretation of
the meaning] was revealed, Abu Talhah got up and went to the Messenger
of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, "O
Messenger of Allaah, Allaah says 'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr
(piety, righteousness — here it means Allaah's reward, i.e. Paradise),
unless you spend (in Allaah's Cause) of that which you love' and the
dearest of my wealth to me is Bayraha'. (I give it in) charity for the
sake of Allaah, hoping to earn its reward with Allaah, so dispose of
it, O Messenger of Allaah, as Allaah shows you." The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Well done,
that is a profitable deal, that is a profitable deal. I have heard
what you said and I think that you should distribute it among your
relatives." Abu Talhah said, "I shall do that, O Messenger of Allaah,"
and he distributed it among his relatives and the sons of his paternal
uncles.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1392; Muslim, 998
So the signs of harmony appeared among the Muslims in Madeenah, andthe
Muhaajireen recognized the rights thattheir Ansaar brothers had over
them. There are a number of ahaadeeth concerning that, includingthe
following:
It was narrated that Anassaid: When the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) cameto Madeenah, the Muhaajireen came to him
and said, "O Messenger of Allaah, we have never seen any people more
generous when they havethe means and more helpful when they have
little than the people among whom we have settled. They have looked
after us and they have let us join them and share in all their happy
occasions, to such an extent that we are afraid that they will take
all the reward. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said, "Not so long as you pray for themand praise them."
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2487; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 2020.
Allaah created loved between the hearts of thepeople of Madeenah, and
love for the sake of Allaahwas one of the symbols ofthe people that
Allaah enjoined upon them and made it one of the signs of perfect
faith.
It was narrated from Anas(may Allaah be pleased with him) that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: :->
