Chapter: The permissibility of selling animals for animals of the same kind and of different quality
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported:
There came a slave and pledg- ed allegiance to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man) - Sahih:Muslim:1602 (islam)
-Was it because the man was a Muslim?
- What is the correspondence 2 black men for 1 Muslim?
- What will happen to a slave who accepts Islam?
- Is he going to be automatically freed?

It was narrated that Jabir Sair:

So he bought him for two black slaves, then he did not accept until he had asked; 'Is he a slave?''' - Sahih:An Nasai:4621 (islam)
-Does black man worth half of a Muslim?
- Maybe the Master just bargain heavily, then why Mohamed accepted this, was he supposed to be better than that?
- What is the difference between being accepted by Mohamed and accepting Islam?

Chapter: Exhortation to kill the Khawarij
'Ubaidullah b. Abu Rafi', the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), said:
When Haruria (the Khawarij) set out and as he was with 'Ali b. Abu Talib (Allah be pleased with him) they said, "There is no command but that of Allah." Upon this 'Ali said: The statement is true but it is intentionally applied (to support) a wrong (cause). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) described their characteristics and I found these characteristics in them. They state the truth with their tongue, but it does not go beyond this part of their bodies (and the narrator pointed towards his throat). The most hateful among the creation of Allah is one black man among them (Khawarij). One of his hand is like the teat of a goat or the nipple of the breast. When 'Ali b. Abu Talib (Allah be pleased with him) killed them, he said: Search (for his dead body). They searched for him, but they did not find it (his dead body). Upon this he said: Go (and search for him). By Allah, neither I have spoken a lie nor has the lie been spoken to me. 'Ali said this twice and thrice. They then found him (the dead body) in a rain. They brought (his dead) body till they placed it before him (Hadrat 'Ali). 'Ubaidullah said: And, I was present at (that place) when this happened and when 'Ali said about them. A person narrated to me from Ibn Hanain that he said: I saw that black man. - Sahih:Muslim:1066g (islam)
-Since the worst creature are unbelievers, what about a black unbeliever, worst or equal of a white one?
On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject." - Quran:Ali 'Imran 3:106 (islam)
-How come God make a difference with a white or a drak face?
And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about Allah [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant? - Quran:Az-Zumar 39:60 (islam)
-Why some translation says "darken faces", if you already have a dark face, can you have a bright face?
Chapter: Request of the people to the Imam to offer the Istisqa' prayer
Narrated `Abdullah bin Dinar:
My father said, "I heard Ibn `Umar reciting the poetic verses of Abu Talib: And a white (person) (i.e. the Prophet) who is requested to pray for rain and who takes care of the orphans and is the guardian of widows." Salim's father (Ibn `Umar) said, "The following poetic verse occurred to my mind while I was looking at the face of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) while he was praying for rain. He did not get down till the rain water flowed profusely from every roof-gutter: And a white (person) who is requested to pray for rain and who takes care of the orphans and is the guardian of widows . . . And these were the words of Abu Talib." - Sahih:Al Bukhari:1008 (islam)
-Was Mohamed viewed as a white man?
