It was narrated from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah bin 'Utbah that during the reign of Marwan, 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'Uthman, who was a young man, issued a final divorce to the daughter of Sa'eed bin Zaid, whose mother was Bint Qais. Her maternal aunt, Fatimah bint Qais, sent word to her telling her to move from the house of 'Abdullah bin 'Amr. Marwan heard of that and he sent word to the daughter of Sa'eed, telling her to go back to her home, and asking her why she had moved from her home before her 'Iddah was over? She sent word to him telling him that her maternal aunt had told her to do that. Fatimah bint Qais said that she had been married to Abu 'Amr bin Hafs, and when the Messenger of Allah appointed 'Ali bin Abi Talib as governor of Yemen, he went out with him and sent word to her that she was divorced with the third Talaq. He told Al-Harith bin Hisham and 'Ayyash bin Abi Rai'ah to spend on her. She sent word to Al-Harith and 'Ayyash asking them what her husband had told them to spend on her, and they said: 'By Allah, she has no right to any maintenance from us, unless she is pregnant, and she cannot come into our home without our permission.' She said that she came to the Messenger of Allah and told him about that, and he stated that they were correct. Fatimah said: 'Where should I move to, O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Move to the home of Ibn Umm Maktum, the blind man whom Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, named in His Book.' Fatimah said: 'So I observed my 'Iddah there. He was a man who has lost his sight, so I used to take off my garments in his house, until the Messenger of Allah married me to Usamah bin Zaid.' Marwan criticized her for that and said: 'I have never heard this Hadith from anyone before you. I will continue to follow the ruling that the people have been following.'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 26, Hadith 27
Yahya said that Malik said, concerning two associates, "If they
share one herdsman, one male animal, one pasture and one watering
place then the two men are associates, as long as each one of them
knows his own property from that of his companion If someone cannot
tell his property apart from that of his fellow, he is not an
associate, but rather, a co-owner "
Malik said, "It is not
obligatory for both associates to pay zakat unless both of them have a
zakatable amount (of livestock). If, for instance, one of the
associates has forty or more sheep and goats and the other has less
than forty sheep and goats, then the one who has forty has to pay
zakat and the one who has less does not. If both of them have a
zakatable amount (of livestock) then both of them are assessed
together (i.e the flock is assessed as one) and both of them have to
pay zakat. If one of them has a thousand sheep, or less, that he has
to pay zakat on, and the other has forty, or more, then they are
associates, and each one pays his contribution according to the number
of animals he has - so much from the one with a thousand, and so much
from the one with forty.
Malik said, "Two associates in
camels are the same as two associates in sheep and goats, and, for the
purposes of zakat, are assessed together if each one of them has a
zakatable amount (of camels). That is because the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'There is no zakat on
less than five head of camels,' and Umar ibn al-Khattab said, 'On
grazing sheep and goats, if they come to forty or more - one ewe.' "
Yahya said that Malik said, "This is what I like most out of
what I have heard about the matter."
Malik said that when
Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "Those separated should not be gathered
together nor should those gathered together be separated in order to
avoid paying zakat," what he meant was the owners of livestock.
Malik said, "What he meant when he said, 'Those separated should
not be gathered together' is, for instance, that there is a group of
three men, each of whom has forty sheep and goats, and each of whom
thus has to pay zakat. Then, when the zakat collector is on his way
,they gather their flocks together so that they only owe one ewe
between them. This they are forbidden to do. What he meant when he
said, 'nor should those gathered together be separated,' is, for
instance, that there are two associates, each one of whom has a
hundred and one sheep and goats, and each of whom must therefore pay
three ewes. Then, when the zakat collector is on his way, they split
up their flocks so that they only have to pay one ewe each. This they
are forbidden to do. And so it is said, 'Those separated should not be
gathered together nor should those gathered together be separated in
order to avoid paying zakat.' "
Malik said, "This is what I
have heard about the matter."
Muwatta Malik Book 17, Hadith 27
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said
to ‘Abbas bin ‘Abdul-Muttalib: ‘O ‘Abbas, O my uncle, shall I
not
give you a gift, shall I not give you something, shall I not tell
you
of something which, if you do it, will expiate for ten types of
sins?
If you do them, Allah will forgive you your sins, the first and
the
last of them, the old and the new, the unintentional and the
deliberate, the minor and the major, the secret and the open, ten
types of sin. Pray four Rak’ah, and recite in each Rak’ah the
Opening
of the Book (Al-Fatihah) and a Surah. When you have finished
reciting
in the first Rak’ah, while you are standing, say:
Subhan-Allah wal-
hamdu Lillah wa la ilaha illallah wa Allahu Akbar
(Glory if to Allah,
praise is to Allah, none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and
Allah is the Most Great) fifteen times. Then
bow and say it ten times
while you are bowing. Then raise your head
from Ruku’ and say it ten
times. Then go into prostration and say
it ten times while you are
prostrating. Then raise your head from
prostration and say it ten
times. Then prostrate and say it ten
times. Then raise your head from
prostration and say it ten times.
That will be seventy-five times in
each Rak’ah. Do that in all four
Rak’ah. If you can pray it once each
day then do so. If you cannot,
then once each week; if you cannot,
then once each month. If you
cannot, then once in your lifetime.’”
