I came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are living in the land of the people of the
Scripture and we take our meals in their utensils, and in the land there is game and I hunt with my bow
and trained or untrained hounds; please tell me what is lawful for us of that." He said, "As for your
saying that you are living in the land of the people of the Scripture and that you eat in their utensils, if
you can get utensils other than theirs, do not eat in their utensils, but if you do not find (other than
theirs), then wash their utensils and eat in them. As for your saying that you are in the land of game, if
you hung something with your bow, and have mentioned Allah's Name while hunting, then you can
eat (the game). And if you hunt something with your trained hound, and have mentioned Allah's
Name on sending it for hunting then you can eat (the game). But if you hunt something with your
untrained hound and you were able to slaughter it before its death, you can eat of it."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 72, Hadith 14
Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing things among us
about which there is no dispute and what I have seen the people of
knowledge in our city doing is that when a father inherits from a son
or a daughter and the deceased leaves children, or grandchildren
through a son, the father has a fixed share of one sixth. If the
deceased does leave any children or male grandchildren through a son,
the apportioning begins with those with whom the father shares in the
fixed shares. They are given their fixed shares. If a sixth or more is
left over, the sixth and what is above it is given to the father, and
if there is less than a sixth left, the father is given his sixth as a
fixed share, (i.e. the other shares are adjusted.)
"The
inheritance of a mother from her child, if her son or daughter dies
and leaves children or male or female grandchildren through a son, or
leaves two or more full or half siblings is a sixth. If the deceased
does not leave any children or grandchildren through a son, or two or
more siblings, the mother has a whole third except in two cases. One
of them is if a man dies and leaves a wife and both parents. The wife
has a fourth, the mother a third of what remains, (which is a fourth
of the capital). The other is if a wife dies and leaves a husband and
both parents. The husband gets half, and the mother a third of what
remains, (which is a sixth of the capital). That is because Allah, the
Blessed, the Exalted, says in His Book, 'His two parents each have a
sixth of what he leaves if he has children. If he does not have
children, and his parents inherit from him, his mother has a third. If
he has siblings, the mother has a sixth.' (Sura 4 ayat 11). The sunna
is that the siblings be two or more."
Muwatta Malik Book 27, Hadith 3
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.?"
Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 23
That once he stayed overnight (in the house) of his aunt Maimuna. the wife of the Prophet. He added:
I lay on the cushion transversely and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) lay along with his wife in the lengthwise
direction of the pillow. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) slept till the middle of the night, either a bit before or a bit
after it, and then woke up rubbing the traces of sleep off his face with his hands and then he recited the
last ten Verses of Surat-al-`Imran, got up and went to a hanging water skin. He then performed the
ablution from it, and it was perfect ablution, and then stood up to offer the prayer. I too did the same
as he had done, and then went to stand beside him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) put his right hand on my head and
held and twisted my right ear. He then offered two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two rak`at, then two
rak`at, then two rak`at. then two rak`at, and finally one rak`a, the witr. Then he lay down again till the
Muadhdhin (i.e. the call-maker) came to him, whereupon he got up and offered a light two-rak`at
prayer, and went out (to the Mosque) and offered the (compulsory congregational) Fajr prayer.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 93
Yahya related to me from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu
Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "A group of angels in the night and a group of angels in
the day alternate with each other among you, and gather together at
the time of the asr and fajr prayers. Then those that have spent the
night among you ascend, and He asks them, and He knows best, 'How did
you leave my slaves?' and they say, 'When we left them they were
praying, and when we came to them they were praying.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 9, Hadith 90
When it was the day of Uhud, the pagans were defeated. Then Satan, Allah's Curse be upon him, cried
loudly, "O Allah's Worshippers, beware of what is behind!" On that, the front files of the (Muslim)
forces turned their backs and started fighting with the back files. Hudhaifa looked, and on seeing his
father Al-Yaman, he shouted, "O Allah's Worshippers, my father, my father!" But by Allah, they did
not stop till they killed him. Hudhaifa said, "May Allah forgive you." (The sub-narrator, `Urwa, said,
"By Allah, Hudhaifa continued asking Allah's Forgiveness for the killers of his father till he departed
to Allah (i.e. died).")
