• Narrated Ibn Abbas: The first event of Qas …
  Narrated Ibn Abbas: The first event of Qasama in the pre-lslamic period of ignorance was practiced by us i.e. Banu Hashim. A man from Banu Hashim was employed by a Quraishi man from another branch-family. The Hashimi laborer set out with the Quraishi driving his camels. There passed by him another man from Banu Hashim. The leather rope of the latter bag had broken so he said to the laborer; Will you help me by giving me a rope in order to tie the handle of my bag lest the camels should run away from me? The laborer gave him a rope and the latter tied his bag with it. When the caravan halted; all the camels legs were tied with their fetters except one camel. The employer asked the laborer; Why; from among all the camels has this camel not been fettered? He replied; There is no fetter for it. The Quraishi asked; Where is its fetter? and hit the laborer with a stick that caused his death later on Just before his death a man from Yemen passed by him. The laborer asked him ; Will you go for the pilgrimage? He replied; I do not think I will attend it; but perhaps I will attend it. The Hashimi laborer said; Will you please convey a message for me once in your life? The other man said; yes. The laborer wrote: When you attend the pilgrimage; call the family of Quraish; and if they respond to you; call the family of Banu Hashim; and if they respond to you; ask about Abu Talib and tell him that so-and-so has killed me for a fetter. Then the laborer expired. When the employer reached Mecca ; Abu Talib visited him and asked; What has happened to our companion? He said; He became ill and I looked after him nicely but he died and I buried him. Then Abu Talib said; The deceased deserved this from you. After some time; the messenger whom the laborer has asked to convey the message; reached during the pilgrimage season. He called; O the family of Quraish! The people replied; This is Quraish. Then he called; O the family of Banu Hashim! Again the people replied; This is Banu Hashim. He asked; Who is Abu Talib? The people replied; This is Abu Talib. He said; So-and-so has asked me to convey a message to you that so-and-so has killed him for a fetter of a camel. Then Abu Talib went to the Quraishi killer and said to him; Choose one of three alternatives: i If you wish; give us one-hundred camels because you have murdered our companion; ii or if you wish; fifty of your men should take an oath that you have not murdered our companion; and if you do not accept this; iii we will kill you in Qisas. The killer went to his people and they said; We will take an oath. Then a woman from Banu Hashim who was married to one of them i.e.the Quraishis and had given birth to a child from him; came to Abu Talib and said; O Abu Talib! I wish that my son from among the fifty men; should be excused from this oath; and that he should not take the oath where the oathtaking is carried on. Abu Talib excused him. Then another man from them came to Abu Talib and said; O Abu Talib! You want fifty persons to take an oath instead of giving a hundred camels; and that means each man has to give two camels in case he does not take an oath. So there are two camels I would like you to accept from me and excuse me from taking an oath where the oaths are taken. Abu Talib accepted them from him. Then 48 men came and took the oath. Ibn Abbas further said: By Him in Whose Hand my life is; before the end of that year; none of those 48 persons remained alive.

• Narrated Ibn Abbas: The first lady to use …
  Narrated Ibn Abbas: The first lady to use a girdle was the mother of Ishmael. She used a girdle so that she might hide her tracks from Sarah. Abraham brought her and her son Ishmael while she was suckling him; to a place near the Kaba under a tree on the spot of Zamzam; at the highest place in the Masjid. During those days there was nobody in Mecca; nor was there any water So he made them sit over there and placed near them a leather bag containing some dates; and a small water-skin containing some water; and set out homeward. Ishmael mother followed him saying; O Abraham! Where are you going; leaving us in this valley where there is no person whose company we may enjoy; nor is there anything to enjoy ? She repeated that to him many times; but he did not look back at her Then she asked him; Has Allah ordered you to do so? He said; Yes. She said; Then He will not neglect us; and returned while Abraham proceeded onwards; and on reaching the Thaniya where they could not see him; he faced the Kaba; and raising both hands; invoked Allah saying the following prayers: O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring dwell in a valley without cultivation; by Your Sacred House Kaba at Mecca in order; O our Lord; that they may offer prayer perfectly. So fill some hearts among men with love towards them; and O Allah provide them with fruits; so that they may give thanks. 14.37 Ishmael mother went on suckling Ishmael and drinking from the water she had. When the water in the water-skin had all been used up; she became thirsty and her child also became thirsty. She started looking at him i.e. Ishmael tossing in agony; She left him; for she could not endure looking at him; and found that the mountain of Safa was the nearest mountain to her on that land. She stood on it and started looking at the valley keenly so that she might see somebody; but she could not see anybody. Then she descended from Safa and when she reached the valley; she tucked up her robe and ran in the valley like a person in distress and trouble; till she crossed the valley and reached the Marwa mountain where she stood and started looking; expecting to see somebody; but she could not see anybody. She repeated that running between Safa and Marwa seven times. The Prophet ﷺ said; This is the source of the tradition of the walking of people between them i.e. Safa and Marwa. When she reached the Marwa for the last time she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened attentively. She heard the voice again and said; O; whoever you may be ! You have made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me? And behold! She saw an angel at the place of Zamzam; digging the earth with his heel or his wing ; till water flowed from that place. She started to make something like a basin around it; using her hand in this way; and started filling her water-skin with water with her hands; and the water was flowing out after she had scooped some of it. The Prophet ﷺ added; May Allah bestow Mercy on Ishmael mother! Had she let the Zamzam flow without trying to control it or had she not scooped from that water to fill her water-skin ; Zamzam would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth. The Prophet ﷺ further added; Then she drank water and suckled her child. The angel said to her; Dont be afraid of being neglected; for this is the House of Allah which will be built by this boy and his father; and Allah never neglects His people. The House i.e. Kaba at that time was on a high place resembling a hillock; and when torrents came; they flowed to its right and left. She lived in that way till some people from the tribe of Jurhum or a family from Jurhum passed by her and her child; as they i.e. the Jurhum people were coming through the way of Kada. They landed in the lower part of Mecca where they saw a bird that had the habit of flying around water and not leaving it. They said; This bird must be flying around water; though we know that there is no water in this valley. They sent one or two messengers who discovered the source of water; and returned to inform them of the water. So; they all came towards the water. The Prophet ﷺ added; Ishmael mother was sitting near the water. They asked her; Do you allow us to stay with you? She replied; Yes; but you will have no right to possess the water. They agreed to that. The Prophet ﷺ further said; Ishmael mother was pleased with the whole situation as she used to love to enjoy the company of the people. So; they settled there; and later on they sent for their families who came and settled with them so that some families became permanent residents there. The child i.e. Ishmael grew up and learnt Arabic from them and his virtues caused them to love and admire him as he grew up; and when he reached the age of puberty they made him marry a woman from amongst them. After Ishmael mother had died; Abraham came after Ishmael marriage in order to see his family that he had left before; but he did not find Ishmael there. When he asked Ishmael wife about him; she replied; He has gone in search of our livelihood. Then he asked her about their way of living and their condition; and she replied; We are living in misery; we are living in hardship and destitution; complaining to him. He said; When your husband returns; convey my salutation to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate of his house. When Ishmael came; he seemed to have felt something unusual; so he asked his wife; Has anyone visited you? She replied; Yes; an old man of so-and-so description came and asked me about you and I informed him; and he asked about our state of living; and I told him that we were living in a hardship and poverty. On that Ishmael said; Did he advise you anything? She replied; Yes; he told me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate. Ishmael said; It was my father; and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family. So; Ishmael divorced her and married another woman from amongst them i.e. Jurhum. Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them again but did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael wife and asked her about Ishmael. She said; He has gone in search of our livelihood. Abraham asked her; How are you getting on? asking her about their sustenance and living. She replied; We are prosperous and well-off i.e. we have everything in abundance. Then she thanked Allah Abraham said; What kind of food do you eat? She said. Meat. He said; What do you drink? She said; Water. He said; O Allah! Bless their meat and water. The Prophet added; At that time they did not have grain; and if they had grain; he would have also invoked Allah to bless it. The Prophet ﷺ added; If somebody has only these two things as his sustenance; his health and disposition will be badly affected; unless he lives in Mecca. The Prophet ﷺ added; Then Abraham said Ishmael wife; When your husband comes; give my regards to him and tell him that he should keep firm the threshold of his gate. When Ishmael came back; he asked his wife; Did anyone call on you? She replied; Yes; a good-looking old man came to me; so she praised him and added. He asked about you; and I informed him; and he asked about our livelihood and I told him that we were in a good condition. Ishmael asked her; Did he give you any piece of advice? She said; Yes; he told me to give his regards to you and ordered that you should keep firm the threshold of your gate. On that Ishmael said; It was my father; and you are the threshold of the gate. He has ordered me to keep you with me. Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished; and called on them afterwards. He saw Ishmael under a tree near Zamzam; sharpening his arrows. When he saw Abraham; he rose up to welcome him and they greeted each other as a father does with his son or a son does with his father. Abraham said; O Ishmael! Allah has given me an order. Ishmael said; Do what your Lord has ordered you to do. Abraham asked; Will you help me? Ishmael said; I will help you. Abraham said; Allah has ordered me to build a house here; pointing to a hillock higher than the land surrounding it. The Prophet ﷺ added; Then they raised the foundations of the House i.e. the Kaba. Ishmael brought the stones and Abraham was building; and when the walls became high; Ishmael brought this stone and put it for Abraham who stood over it and carried on building; while Ishmael was handing him the stones; and both of them were saying; O our Lord! Accept this service from us; Verily; You are the All-Hearing; the All-Knowing. The Prophet ﷺ added; Then both of them went on building and going round the Kaba saying: O our Lord ! Accept this service from us; Verily; You are the All-Hearing; the All-Knowing. 2.127

• Narrated Ibn Abbas: The law of Qisas i.e. …
  Narrated Ibn Abbas: The law of Qisas i.e. equality in punishment was prescribed for the children of Israel; but the Diya i.e. blood money was not ordained for them. So Allah said to this Nation i.e. Muslims : O you who believe! The law of AlQisas i.e. equality in punishment is prescribed for you in cases of murder: The free for the free; the slave for the slave; and the female for the female. But if the relatives or one of them of the killed person forgive their brother i.e. the killers something of Qisas i.e. not to kill the killer by accepting blood money in the case of intentional murder --then the relatives of the killed person should demand blood-money in a reasonable manner and the killer must pay with handsome gratitude. This is an allevitation and a Mercy from your Lord; in comparison to what was prescribed for the nations before you. So after this; whoever transgresses the limits i.e. to kill the killer after taking the blood-money shall have a painful torment. 2.178
