Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer will hardly
fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophetism, and whatever
belongs to prothetism can never be false." Muhammad bin Seereen said, "But I say this." He said, "It
used to be said, 'There are three types of dreams: The reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one
has during wakefulness, what is suggested by Satan to frighten the dreamer, or glad tidings from
Allah. So, if someone has a dream which he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get up and
offer a prayer." He added, "He (Abu Huraira) hated to see a Ghul (i.e., iron collar around his neck in a
dream) and people liked to see fetters (on their feet in a dream). The fetters on the feet symbolizes
one's constant and firm adherence to religion." And Abu `Abdullah said, "Ghuls (iron collars) are used
only for necks."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 91, Hadith 34
"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Ten things are connected to the Fitrah: trimming the mustache, letting the beard grow, using the tooth stick, rinsing out the nostrils with water, clipping the nails, washing the joints, plucking the armpit hairs, shaving the pubic hairs, washing the private parts with water.'"(One of the narrators) Zakariyya said: "Mus'ab said: 'I have forgotten the tenth thing, but it may have been rinsing out the mouth.'"
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 1, Hadith 27
The Prophet (ﷺ) offered one of the evening prayers (the sub-narrator Muhammad said, "I think that it was
most probably the `Asr prayer") and he finished it after offering two rak`at only. He then stood near a
price of wood in front of the Mosque and put his hand over it. Abu Bakr and `Umar were amongst
those who were present, but they dared not talk to him about that (because of excessive respect for
him), and those who were in a hurry went out. They said, "Has the prayer been reduced?" A man who
was called Dhul-Yadain by the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to the Prophet), "Has the prayer been reduced or have
you forgotten?" He said, "Neither have I forgotten, nor has the prayer been reduced." He said,
"Certainly you have forgotten." So the Prophet (ﷺ) offered two more rak`at and performed Taslim and
then said Takbir and performed a prostration of Sahu like his ordinary prostration or a bit longer and
then raised his head and said Takbir and then put his head down and performed a prostration like his
ordinary prostration or a bit longer, and then raised his head and said Takbir.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 22, Hadith 7
Yahya related to
me from Malik that he had heard that Said ibn al-Musayyab said, "When
a man comes to his wife in her room, he is believed. When she comes to
him in his room, she is believed."
Malik commented, "I think
that this refers to sexual intercourse. When he comes in to her in her
room and she says, 'He has had intercourse with me' and he says, 'I
have not touched her', he is believed. When she comes in to him in his
room and he says, 'I have not had intercourse with her' and she says,
'He had intercourse with me', she is believed."
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 14
Yahya related to me from Malik from Humayd ibn Qays al-Makki from
Tawus al Yamani that from thirty cows, Muadh ibn Jabal took one cow in
its second year, and from forty cows, one cow in its third or fourth
year, and when less than that (i.e. thirty cows) was brought to him he
refused to take anything from it. He said, "I have not heard anything
about it from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace. When I meet him, I will ask him." But the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died before Muadh ibn
Jabal returned.
Yahya said that Malik said, "The best that I
have heard about some one who has sheep or goats with two or more
shepherds in different places is that they are added together and the
owner then pays the zakat on them. This is the same situation as a man
who has gold and silver scattered in the hands of various people. He
must add it all u p and pay whatever zakat there is to pay on the sum
total."
Yahya said that Malik said, about a man who had both
sheep and goats, that they were added up together for the zakat to be
assessed, and if between them they came to a number on which zakat was
due, he paid zakat on them. Malik added, "They are all considered as
sheep, and in Umar ibn al-Khattab's book it says, 'On grazing sheep
and goats, if they come to forty or more, one ewe.' "
Malik
said, "If there are more sheep than goats and their owner only has to
pay one ewe, the zakat collector takes the ewe from the sheep. If
there are more goats than sheep, he takes it from the goats. If there
is an equal number of sheep and goats, he takes the ewe from whichever
kind he wishes."
Yahya said that Malik said, "Similarly,
Arabian camels and Bactrian camels are added up together in order to
assess the zakat that the owner has to pay. They are all considered as
camels. If there are more Arabian camels than Bactrians and the owner
only has to pay one camel, the zakat collector takes it from the
Arabian ones. If, however, there are more Bactrian camels he takes it
from those. If there is an equal number of both, he takes the camel
from whichever kind he wishes."
Malik said, "Similarly, cows
and water buffaloes are added up together and are all considered as
cattle. If there are more cows than water buffalo and the owner only
has to pay one cow, the zakat collector takes it from the cows. If
there are more water buffalo, he takes it from them. If there is an
equal number of both, he takes the cow from whichever kind he wishes.
So if zakat is necessary, it is assessed taking both kinds as one
group."
Yahya said that Malik said, "No zakat is due from
anyone who comes into possession of livestock, whether camels or
cattle or sheep and goats, until a year has elapsed over them from the
day he acquired them, unless he already had in his possession a nisab
of livestock. (The nisab is the minimum amount on which zakat has to
be paid, either five head of camels, or thirty cattle, or forty sheep
and goats). If he already had five head of camels, or thirty cattle,
or forty sheep and goats, and he then acquired additional camels, or
cattle, or sheep and goats, either by trade, or gift, or inheritance,
he must pay zakat on them when he pays the zakat on the livestock he
already has, even if a year has not elapsed over the acquisition. And
even if the additional livestock that he acquired has had zakat taken
from it the day before he bought it, or the day before he inherited
it, he must still pay the zakat on it when he pays the zakat on the
livestock he already has "
Yahya said that Malik said, "This
is the same situation as some one who has some silver on which he pays
the zakat and then uses to buy some goods with from somebody else. He
then has to pay zakat on those goods when he sells them. It could be
that one man will have to pay zakat on them one day, and by the
following day the other man will also have to pay."
Malik
said, in the case of a man who had sheep and goats which did not reach
the zakatable amount, and who then bought or inherited an additional
number of sheep and goats well above the zakatable amount, that he did
not have to pay zakat on all his sheep and goats until a year had
elapsed over them from the day he acquired the new animals, whether he
bought them or inherited them.This was because none of the livestock
that a man had, whether it be camels, or cattle, or sheep and goats,
was counted as a nisab until there was enough of any one kind for him
to have to pay zakat on it. This was the nisab which is used for
assessing the zakat on what the owner had additionally acquired,
whether it were a large or small amount of livestock.
Malik
said, "If a man has enough camels, or cattle, or sheep and goats, for
him to have to pay zakat on each kind, and then he acquires another
camel, or cow, or sheep, or goat, it must be included with the rest of
his animals when he pays zakat on them "
Yahya said that
Malik said, "This is what I like most out of what I heard about the
matter."
Malik said, in the case of a man who does not have
the animal required of him for the zakat, "If it is a two-year-old
she-camel that he does not have, a three-year-old male camel is taken
instead. If it is a three- or four- or five-year-old she-camel that he
does not have, then he must buy the required animal so that he gives
the collector what is due. I do not like it if the owner gives the
collector the equivalent value."
Malik said, about camels
used for carrying water, and cattle used for working water-wheels or
ploughing, "In my opinion such animals are included when assessing
zakat."
Muwatta Malik Book 17, Hadith 26
The delegates of the tribe of `Abdul-Qais came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We are from the tribe of
Rabi`a, and there is the infidels of the tribe of Mudar intervening between you and us, so we cannot
come to you except in the Sacred Months. So please order us some instructions that we may apply it to
ourselves and also invite our people whom we left behind us to observe as well." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I
order you (to do) four (things) and forbid you (to do) four: I order you to believe in Allah, that is, to
testify that None has the right to be worshipped but Allah (the Prophet (ﷺ) pointed with his hand); to offer
prayers perfectly; to pay Zakat; to fast the month of Ramadan, and to pay the Khumus (i.e. one-fifth)
of the war booty to Allah and I forbid you to use Ad-dubba', An-Naqir, Al-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat
(i.e. utensils used for preparing alcoholic drinks)." (See Hadith No. 50, Vol. 1).
