Ahadith about Hiring

Book volume , Hadith number

1. Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet and
Abu Bakr employed a (pagan) man
from the tribe of Bani Ad-Dail and
the tribe of Bani 'Abu bin `Adi as a
guide. He was an expert guide and
he broke the oath contract which
he had to abide by with the tribe of
Al-`Asi bin Wail and he was on the
religion of Quraish pagans. The
Prophet and Abu Bakr had
confidence in him and gave him
their riding camels and told him to
bring them to the Cave of Thaur
after three days. So, he brought
them their two riding camels after
three days and both of them (The
Prophet and Abu Bakr) set out
accompanied by 'Amir bin Fuhaira
and the Dili guide who guided them
below Mecca along the road
leading to the sea-shore.

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, Three men from among those who were
before you, set out together till they reached a cave at night and entered it. A big rock rolled down the
mountain and closed the mouth of the cave. They said (to each other), Nothing could save you Tom this
rock but to invoke Allah by giving referenda to the righteous deed which you have done (for Allah's sake
only).' So, one of them said, 'O Allah! I had old parents and I never provided my family (wife, children etc.)
with milk before them. One day, by chance I was delayed, and I came late (at night) while they had slept. I
milked the sheep for them and took the milk to them, but I found them sleeping. I disliked to provide my
family with the milk before them. I waited for them and the bowl of milk was in my hand and I kept on
waiting for them to get up till the day dawned. Then they got up and drank the milk. O Allah! If I did that
for Your Sake only, please relieve us from our critical situation caused by this rock.' So, the rock shifted a
little but they could not get out. The Prophet added, The second man said, 'O Allah! I had a cousin who
was the dearest of all people to me and I wanted to have sexual relations with her but she refused. Later
she had a hard time in a famine year and she came to me and I gave her one-hundred-and-twenty Dinars
on the condition that she would not resist my desire, and she agreed. When I was about to fulfill my
desire, she said: It is illegal for you to outrage my chastity except by legitimate marriage. So, I thought it a
sin to have sexual intercourse with her and left her though she was the dearest of all the people to me,
and also I left the gold I had given her. O Allah! If I did that for Your Sake only, please relieve us from the
present calamity.' So, the rock shifted a little more but still they could not get out from there. The Prophet
added, Then the third man said, 'O Allah! I employed few laborers and I paid them their wages with the
exception of one man who did not take his wages and went away. I invested his wages and I got much
property thereby. (Then after some time) he came and said to me: O Allah's slave! Pay me my wages. I said
to him: All the camels, cows, sheep and slaves you see, are yours. He said: O Allah's slave! Don't mock at
me. I said: I am not mocking at you. So, he took all the herd and drove them away and left nothing. O
Allah! If I did that for Your Sake only, please relieve us from the present suffering.' So, that rock shifted
completely and they got out walking.
