Yahya related to me from Malik that Muhammad ibn Uqba, the mawla
of az Zubayr, asked al-Qasim ibn Muhammad whether he had to pay any
zakat on a large sum given to him by his slave to buy his freedom. Al-
Qasim said, "Abu Bakr as-Siddiq did not take zakat from anyone's
property until it had been in his possession for a year."
Al-
Qasim ibn Muhammad continued, "When Abu Bakr gave men their allowances
he would ask them, 'Do you have any property on which zakat is due?'
If they said, 'Yes,' he would take the zakat on that property out of
their allowances. If they said, 'No,' he would hand over their
allowances to them without deducting anything from them."
Muwatta Malik Book 17, Hadith 4
Yahya related to me from Malik that the best of what he had heard
about a man who is forced by necessity to eat carrion is that he ate
it until he was full and then he took provision from it. If he found
something which would enable him to dispense with it, he threw it
away.
Malik when asked whether or not a man who had been
forced by necessity to eat carrion, should eat it when he also found
the fruit, crops or sheep of a people in that place, answered, "If he
thinks that the owners of the fruit, crops, or sheep will believe his
necessity so that he will not be deemed a thief and have his hand cut
off, then I think that he should eat from whatever he finds that which
will remove his hunger but he should not carry any of it away. I
prefer that he does that than that he eat carrion. If he fears that he
will not be believed, and will be deemed a thief for what he has
taken, then I think that it is better for him to eat the carrion, and
he has leeway to eat carrion in this respect. Even so, I fear that
someone who is not forced by necessity to eat carrion might exceed the
limits out of a desire to consume other peoples' property, crops or
fruit."
Malik said, "That is the best of what I have heard."
Muwatta Malik Book 25, Hadith 19
"I attended the prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on the day of 'Eid. He started with the prayer before the Khutbah, with no Adhan and no Iqamah. When he finished the prayer, he stood leaning on Bilal, and he praised and glorified Allah (SWT) and exhorted the people, reminding them and urging them to obey Allah (SWT). Then he moved away and went to the women, and Bilal was with him. He commanded them to fear Allah (SWT) and exhorted them and reminded them. He praised and glorified Allah, then he urged them to obey Allah, then he said: 'Give charity, for most of you are the fuel of Hell.' A lowly woman with dark cheeks said: 'Why, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'You complain a great deal and are ungrateful to your husbands.' They started taking off their necklaces, earrings and rings, throwing them into Bilal's garment, giving them in charity."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 19, Hadith 20
While I was present in one of the gatherings of the Ansar, Abu Musa came as if he was scared, and
said, "I asked permission to enter upon `Umar three times, but I was not given the permission, so I
returned." (When `Umar came to know about it) he said to Abu Musa, "Why did you not enter?'. Abu
Musa replied, "I asked permission three times, and I was not given it, so I returned, for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "If anyone of you asks the permission to enter thrice, and the permission is not given, then he
should return.' " `Umar said, "By Allah! We will ask Abu Musa to bring witnesses for it." (Abu Musa
went to a gathering of the Ansar and said). "Did anyone of you hear this from the Prophet (ﷺ) ?" Ubai bin
Ka`b said, "By Allah, none will go with you but the youngest of the people (as a witness)." (Abu
Sa`id) was the youngest of them, so I went with Abu Musa and informed `Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) had
said so. (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 3)
