"I went out to At-Tur and met Ka'b. He and I spent a day together, when I narrated things to him from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he narrated things to me from the Tawrah. I said to him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On this day, Adam was created, on this day he was sent down, on it his repentance was accepted, on this day he died, and on this day the Hour will begin. There is no living creature on Earth that does not listen out from Friday morning until the sun rises, fearing the onset of the Hour, except the son of Adam. On (Friday) there is an hour in which, if a believer prays and asks Allah for something, He will give it to him. Ka'b said: Is that one day in every year? I said: No, it is every Friday.' Then Ka'b read in the Tawrah and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spoke the truth; it is every Friday. Then I went out and met Basrah bin Abi Basrah Al-Ghifari. He said: From where have you come? I said: From At-Tur. He said: If I had met you before you went there, you would not have gone. I said to him: Why? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Do not travel especially to visit any masjid except three: Al Masjid Al-Haram (in Makkah), my masjid (in Al-Madinah) and the Masjid of Bait Al-Maqdis (in Jerusalem). Then I met 'Abdullah bin Salam and said: 'If you had only seen me, I went to At-Tur and met Ka'b, and he and I spent the day together, when I narrated things to him from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he narrated things to me from the Tawrah. I said to him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On this day, Adam was created, on this day he was sent down, on this day his repentance was accepted, on this day he died, and on this day the Hour will begin. There is no living creature on Earth that does not listen out from Friday morning until the sun rises, fearing the onset of the Hour, except the son of Adam. On (Friday) there is an hour in which, if a believer prays and asks Allah for something, He will give it to him. Ka'b said: That is one day in every year. 'Abdullah bin Salam said: Ka'b is not telling the truth. I said: Then Ka'b read (in the Tawrah) and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spoke the truth; it is every Friday. 'Abdullah said: Ka'b spoke the truth; I know when that time is. I said: O my brother, tell me about it. He said: It is the last hour of Friday, before the sun sets. I said: Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If a believer prays, but that is not a time for prayer. He said: Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Whoever prays and sits waiting for the (next) prayer, is in a state of prayer until the next prayer comes? I said: Of course. He said: That is what it is."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 14, Hadith 67
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab, and he had heard
from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad that they said, "When a free man marries a
slave-girl and consummates the marriage, she makes him muhsan."
Malik said, "All (of the people of knowledge) I have seen said
that a slave-girl makes a free man muhsan when he marries her and
consummates the marriage."
Malik said, "A slave makes a free
woman muhsana when he consummates a marriage with her and a free woman
only makes a slave muhsan when he is freed and he is her husband and
has had sexual relations with her after he has been set free. If he
parts from her before he is free, he is not a muhsan unless he marries
her after having been set free and he consummates the marriage."
Malik said, "When a slave-girl is married to a free man and then
he separates from her before she is set free, his marriage to her does
not make her muhsana. She is not muhsana until she has married after
she has been set free and she has had intercourse with her husband.
That gives her ihsan. If she is the wife of a freeman and then she is
set free while she is his wife before he separates from her, the man
makes her muhsana if he has intercourse with her after she has been
set free."
Malik said, "The christian and jewish free women
and the muslim slave-girl all make a muslim free man muhsan when he
marries one of them and has intercourse with her."
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 44
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, once said to Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf, "What do you do, Abu
Muhammad, when saluting the corner?" and Abd ar-Rahman said,
"Sometimes I salute it, and sometimes I don't." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "You are right."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 117
AbuAbdurRahman, I saw you doing things which I did not see being done by your companions.
He asked: What are they, Ibn Jurayj? He replied: I saw you touching only the two Yamani corners; and I saw you wearing shoes having no hair; I saw you dyeing in yellow colour; and I saw you wearing ihram on the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah, whereas the people had worn ihram when they sighted the moon.
Abdullah ibn Umar replied: As regards the corners, I have not seen the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) touching anything (in the Ka'bah) but the two Yamani corners. As for the tanned leather shoes, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wearing tanned leather shoes, and he would wear them after ablution. Therefore I like to wear them. As regards wearing yellow, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) wearing yellow, so I like to wear with it. As regards shouting the talbiyah, I have seen the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) raising his voice in talbiyah when his she-camel stood up with him on its back.
