Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn
al-Musayyub said, "Ibrahim, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
was the first to give hospitality to the guest and the first person to
be circumcised and the first person to trim the moustache and the
first person to see grey hair. He said, 'O Lord! What is this?' Allah
the Blessed, the Exalted, said, 'It is dignity, Ibrahim.' He said,
'Lord, increase me in dignity!' "
Yahya said that he had
heard Malik say, "One takes from the moustache until the edge of the
lip appears, that is the rim. One does not cut if off completely so
that one mutilates oneself."
Muwatta Malik Book 49, Hadith 4
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered us to do seven things and forbade us to do other seven. He ordered us:
to follow the funeral procession. to visit the sick, to accept invitations, to help the oppressed, to fulfill
the oaths, to return the greeting and to reply to the sneezer: (saying, "May Allah be merciful on you,"
provided the sneezer says, "All the praises are for Allah,"). He forbade us to use silver utensils and
dishes and to wear golden rings, silk (clothes), Dibaj (pure silk cloth), Qissi and Istabraq (two kinds of
silk cloths).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 23, Hadith 3
Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abu'n-Nadr, the mawla of
'Umar ibn 'Ubaydullah at-Taymi, from Nafi, the mawla of Abu Qatada al-
Ansari, that Abu Qatada was once with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace. When they got to one of the roads
to Makka he fell behind with some companions of his who were muhrim,
while he was not. Then he saw a wild ass, so he got on his mount and
asked his companions to give him his whip but they refused. Then he
asked them for his spear and they refused to give it to him. So he
took hold of it and attacked the ass and killed it. Some of the
companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, ate from it, and others refused. When they had caught up
with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
they asked him about it and he said, "It is food that Allah has fed
you with."
