a group of jurists relate, namely the hadith:
“Do not do that, O rosy-cheeked one, for it causes vitiligo”;
and the hadith:
“The land’s zakat is its produce”;
and the hadith:
“Combining a sale with a stipulation was forbidden, as was selling an enslaved person under an emancipation contract, one designated for emancipation upon the owner’s death, or a bondwoman who had borne her owner a child”;
and the hadith:
“It was forbidden to pay the miller with a measure of the flour he mills”;
and the hadith:
“The tithe and land tax are not both imposed on a Muslim”;
and the hadith:
“Three things are obligatory for me but voluntary for you: the witr prayer, the sacrifice, and the two units before the dawn prayer”;

and the hadith:
“No bridal dower may be less than ten dirhams”;
and the hadith:
“There is a distinction between divorce and manumission with respect to the ‘if Allah wills’ qualification”;
and the hadith:
