al-Hakam, from Abu Wa'il, from Masruq, who said: "The judge, if he consumes a gift, he has consumed unlawful gain (suht), and if he accepts a bribe, it leads him to disbelief."

[The Fourth Aspect]

[6384] Ahmad ibn Mansur al-Marwazi narrated to us, al-Nadr ibn Shuhayl narrated to us, Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Qays ibn Sa'd, from 'Ata', from Abu Hurayrah: That the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "The dowry of a prostitute, the price of a dog and a cat, and the earnings of a cupper are from the unlawful gain (suht)."

[The Fifth Aspect]

[6385] My father narrated to us, al-Hakam ibn Musa narrated to us, al-Haytham ibn Humayd narrated to us, Abu Hunayn ibn 'Ata' narrated to us, who said: I heard 'Ata' ibn Abi Rabah saying: "Unlawful gain (suht) has six traits: Bribery in a court verdict, the price of a dog, the price of a carcass, the price of wine, the earnings of a prostitute, and the stud fee for an animal."

[The Sixth Aspect]

[6386] My father narrated to us, al-Hajjaj ibn al-Minhal narrated to us, Hammad narrated to us, from Sa'id al-Jurayri, from 'Abd Allah ibn Shaqiq, who said: "These loaves of bread that the teachers take are from the unlawful gain (suht)." Meaning: If he performs his teaching for the sake of Allah, it is permissible to take a wage for something similar. I heard my father say: If he does not perform the teaching for the sake of Allah, he may take the wage, but if he performs the teaching for the sake of Allah, that is unlawful gain (suht).

[The Seventh Aspect]

[6387] Hajjaj ibn Hamzah narrated to us, Shababah narrated to us, Warqa' narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Najih, from Mujahid, regarding His saying: "Avid consumers of unlawful gain (suht)," [it means] the bribe in a court verdict; they are the Jews. It was narrated from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, al-Hasan, Ibrahim, and 'Ikrimah that they said: "The bribe in a court verdict."

His saying, the Almighty: "So if they come to you, judge between them or turn away from them."

[The First Aspect]

[6388] Muhammad ibn 'Ammar ibn al-Harith narrated to us, Sa'id ibn Sulayman narrated to us, 'Abbad ibn al-'Awwam narrated to us, from Sufyan ibn Husayn, from al-Hakam, from Mujahid, from Ibn 'Abbas, who said: "Two verses were abrogated from this Surah—meaning al-Ma'idah—the verse of the garlands (al-qala'id), and His saying: 'So judge between them or turn away from them.'"
