Yahya said that he heard Malik speak about two men who had a
pledge between them. One of them undertook to sell his pledge, and the
other one had asked him to wait a year for his due. He said, "If it is
possible to divide the pledge, and the due of the one who asked him to
wait will not be decreased, half the pledge which is between them is
sold for him and he is given his due. If it is feared that his right
will be decreased, all the pledge is sold, and the one who undertook
to sell his pledge is given his due from that. If the one who asked
him to wait for his due is pleased in himself, half of the price is
paid to the pledger. If not, the pledgee is made to take an oath that
he only asked him to wait so that he could transfer my pledge to me in
its form.' Then he is given his due immediately."
Yahya said
that he heard Malik say about a slave whose master had pledged him and
the slave had property of his own, "The property of the slave is not
part of the pledge unless the broker stipulates that."
Muwatta Malik Book 36, Hadith 20
"I was hiding beneath the covering of the Ka'bah, and three men came along - a man from the Quraish, and two of his brothers-in-law from Thaqif, or a man from Thaqif and two of his brothers-in-law from Quraish. Their bellies were fat, and they did not have much understanding. They said something that I could not understand, then one of them said: 'Do you think that Allah can hear what we are talking about?' Another said: 'If we raise our voices, He will hear it, but if we do not raise our voices, He will not hear it.' The other one said: 'If He can hear something from us, then He can hear all of it.'" 'Abdullah said: "I mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ), so Allah revealed: 'And you have not been hiding yourselves, lest your ears and your eyes and your skin should testify against you...' up to His saying: '...and you have become of those utterly lost! (42:22 & 23)"
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 301
I was a man who was more given than others to sexual intercourse with women. When the month of Ramadan came, I feared lest I should have intercourse with my wife, and this evil should remain with me till the morning. So I made my wife like my mother's back to me till the end of Ramadan. But one night when she was waiting upon me, something of her was revealed. Suddenly I jumped upon her. When the morning came I went to my people and informed them about this matter.
I said: Go along with me to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
They said: No, by Allah. So I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him and informed him of the matter.
He said: Have you really committed it, Salamah? I said: I committed it twice, Messenger of Allah. I am content with the Commandment of Allah, the Exalted; so take a decision about me according to what Allah has shown you.
He said: Free a slave. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, I do not possess a neck other than this: and I struck the surface of my neck.
He said: Then fast two consecutive months. I said: Whatever I suffered is due to fasting.
He said: Feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates.
I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, we passed the night hungry; there was no food in our house.
He said: Then go to the collector of sadaqah of Banu Zurayq; he must give it to you. Then feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates; and you and your family eat the remaining dates. Then I came back to my people, and said (to them): I found with you poverty and bad opinion; and I found with the Prophet (ﷺ) prosperity and good opinion. He has commanded me to give alms to you.
Ibn al-Ala' added: Ibn Idris said: Bayadah is a sub-clan of Banu Zurayq.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 13, Hadith 39
That `Aisha told him that Barirah came to seek her help in her writing of emancipation (for a certain
sum) and that time she had not paid anything of it. `Aisha said to her, "Go back to your masters, and if
they agree that I will pay the amount of your writing of emancipation and get your Wala', I will do
so." Barirah informed her masters of that but they refused and said, "If she (i.e. `Aisha) is seeking
Allah's reward, then she can do so, but your Wala' will be for us." `Aisha mentioned that to Allah's
Apostle who said to her, "Buy and manumit (free) her, as the Wala' is for the liberator." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then
got up and said, "What about the people who stipulate conditions which are not present in Allah's
Laws? Whoever imposes conditions which are not present in Allah's Laws, then those conditions will
be invalid, even if he imposed these conditions a hundred times. Allah's conditions (Laws) are the
truth and are more solid."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 50, Hadith 2
AbulJawza' said: A man who attended the company of the Prophet (ﷺ) narrated to me (it is thought that he was Abdullah ibn Amr): The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me: Come to me tomorrow; I shall give you something, I shall give you something, I shall reward you something, I shall donate something to you. I thought that he would give me some present.
He said (to me when I came to him): When the day declines, stand up and pray four rak'ahs. He then narrated something similar.
This version adds: Do not stand until you glorify Allah ten times, and praise Him ten times, and exalt Him ten times, and say, "There is no god but Allah" ten times. Then you should do that in four rak'ahs. If you are the greatest sinner on earth, you will be forgiven (by Allah) on account of this (prayer).
I asked: If I cannot pray this the appointed hour, (what should I do)? He replied: Pray that by night or by day (at any time).
Abu Dawud said: Habban b. Hilal is the maternal uncle of Hilal al-Ra'i.
Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by al-Mustamir b. al-Riyyan from Ibn al-Jawza' from 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr without referring to the Prophet (ﷺ), - narrated as a statement of 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr himself (mauquf). This has also been narrated by Rawh b. al-Musayyab, and Ja'far b. Sulaiman from 'Amr b. Malik al-Nakri from Abu al-Jauza' from Ibn 'Abbas as his own statement (and not the statement of the Prophet). But the version of Rawh has the words: "The tradition of the Prophet (ﷺ)."
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 5, Hadith 49
Um Khalid bint Khalid bin Sa`id said, "I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) along with my father and I was
wearing a yellow shirt. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Sanah Sanah!" (`Abdullah, the sub-narrator said, "It
means, 'Nice, nice!' in the Ethiopian language.") Um Khalid added, "Then I started playing with the
seal of Prophethood. My father admonished me. But Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to my father), "Leave her,"
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (then addressing me) said, "May you live so long that your dress gets worn out, and
you will mend it many times, and then wear another till it gets worn out (i.e. May Allah prolong your
life)." (The sub-narrator, `Abdullah aid, "That garment (which she was wearing remained usable for a
long period.").
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 24
Yahya related to me that Malik said that he had heard that Umar
ibn Abd al-Aziz used to say, "The man on horse-back has two shares,
and the man on foot has one."
Malik added, "I continue to
hear the same."
Malik, when asked whether a man who was
present with several horses took a share for all of them, said, "I
have never heard that. I think that there is only a share for the
horse on which he fought."
Malik said, "I think that foreign
horses and half-breeds are considered as horses because Allah, the
Blessed, the Exalted, said in His Book, 'All horses, and mules, and
asses, for you to ride, and as an adornment.' (Sura16 ayat 8). He
said, the Mighty, the Majestic, 'Make ready for them whatever force
and strings of horses you can, to terrify thereby the enemy of Allah
and your enemy.' (Sura 8 ayat 60). I think that foreign breeds and
half-breeds are considered as horses if the governor accepts them."
Said ibn al-Musayyab was asked about working horses, and
whether there was zakat on them. He said, "Is there any zakat on
horses.?"
