Muslim 2770 — Umm Zar' and the ifk account

Summary

The hadith of Umm Zar' related by Aisha in the Book of Repentance, which she tells in full as the story of the slander. Her absence after her necklace fell, the defence of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh and Sa'd ibn Ubada, and the Prophet ﷺ's recitation of the verses of innocence from Surat al-Nur. It is the longest autobiographical account in the two Sahih works of a single event. ¹

Umar's Stipend Register

The diwan, written in 20h, opened with Banu Hashim, nearest to the Prophet first, sabiqa breaking kin-ties — and for the Ansar 'begin with Sa'd ibn Mu'adh's rah t of Aws'. Abu Bakr had made shares equal; Umar refused — 'I will not make who fought the Prophet like who fought with him': five thousand a year for every Badr man, allies and mawali equal; four thousand for Badr-like Islam, Abyssinia-migrants and Uhud-men; two thousand for Badris' sons, save Hasan and Husayn joined to their father's five thousand for kinship; al-Abbas five or seven thousand; above all, the Prophet's wives twelve thousand, Juwayriya and Safiyya joined. Umar ibn Abi Salama got four thousand — 'I favor his nearness: bring me a mother like Umm Salama' — and Usama ibn Zayd four thousand to Abdallah ibn Umar's three: 'he was dearer to the Prophet than you, his father dearer than yours'. The rest by rank, Qur'an and jihad; Yemen and Qays folk from two thousand to none below three hundred — 'were the wealth great I'd give each man four thousand: a thousand for travel, a thousand for arms, a thousand left home, a thousand for horse and shoe' — stipends for muhajirat women, a hundred for the exposed infant rising at weaning, a hundred and monthly keep for every foundling, suckling and upkeep on the bayt al-mal.
