Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
said that statements like "I cut myself off from you",or"You are
abandoned", were considered as three pronouncements of divorce.
Malik said that any strong statements such as these or others were
considered as three pronouncements of divorce for a woman whose
marriage had been consummated. In the case of a woman whose marriage
had not been consummated, the man was asked to make an oath on his
deen, as to whether he had intended one or three pronouncements of
divorce. If he had intended one pronouncement, he was asked to make an
oath by Allah to confirm it, and he became a suitor among other
suitors, because a woman whose marriage had been consummated, required
three pronouncements of divorce to make her inaccessible for the
husband, whilst only one pronouncement was needed to make a woman
whose marriage had not been consummated inaccessible.
Malik
added, "That is the best of what I have heard about the matter."
Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 7
Malik related to me that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Talha heard
Anas ibn Malik say, "Abu Talha had the greatest amount of property in
palm-trees among the Ansar in Madina. The dearest of his properties to
him was Bayruha which was in front of the mosque. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to go into it and
drink from the pleasant water which was in it."
Anas
continued, "When this ayat was sent down 'You will not obtain
rightness of action until you expend of what you love,' (Sura 2 ayat
l76), Abu Talha went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah! Allah, the
Blessed, the Exalted, has said, "You will not obtain until you expend
of what you love." The property which I love the best is Bayruha. It
is sadaqa for Allah. I hope for its good and for it to be stored up
with Allah. Place it wherever you wish, Messengerof Allah. ' "
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
said, 'Well done! That is property which profits! That is property
which profits. I have heard what you have said about it and I think
that you should give it to your relatives.' Abu Talha said, 'I will do
it, Messenger of Allah!' Abu Talha therefore divided it among his
relatives and the children of his paternal uncle."
Muwatta Malik Book 58, Hadith 2
Once I went to Abu- Sa`id Al-Khudri and asked him, "Won't you come with us to the date-palm trees
to have a talk?" So Abu Sa`id went out and I asked him, "Tell me what you heard from the Prophet (ﷺ)
about the Night of Qadr." Abu Sa`id replied, "Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) performed I`tikaf (seclusion) on
the first ten days of the month of Ramadan and we did the same with him. Gabriel came to him and
said, 'The night you are looking for is ahead of you.' So the Prophet (ﷺ) performed the I`tikaf in the
middle (second) ten days of the month of Ramadan and we too performed I`tikaf with him. Gabriel
came to him and said, 'The night which you are looking for is ahead of you.' In the morning of the
20th of Ramadan the Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon saying, 'Whoever has performed I`tikaf with me
should continue it. I have been shown the Night of "Qadr", but have forgotten its date, but it is in the
odd nights of the last ten nights. I saw in my dream that I was prostrating in mud and water.' In those
days the roof of the mosque was made of branches of date-palm trees. At that time the sky was clear
and no cloud was visible, but suddenly a cloud came and it rained. The Prophet (ﷺ) led us in the prayer
and I saw the traces of mud on the forehead and on the nose of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). So it was the
confirmation of that dream."
