“I was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) when a Bedouin came
to
him and said: ‘I have a brother who is sick.’ He said: ‘What is
the
matter with your brother?’ He said: ‘He suffers from a slight
mental
derangement.’ He said: ‘Go and bring him.’” He said:
“(So he went) and
he brought him. He made him sit down in front of
him and I heard him
seeking refuge for him with Fatihatil-Kitab; four
Verses from the
beginning of Al-Baqarah, two Verses from its middle:
‘And your Ilah
(God) is One Ilah (God – Allah),’ and
Ayat Al-Kursi; and three
Verses from its end; a Verse from Al ‘Imran,
I think it was: ‘Allah
bears witness that La ilaha illa Huwa (none
has the right to be
worshipped but He),’ a Verse from
Al-A’raf: ‘Indeed, your Lord
is Allah,’ a Verse from
Al-Mu’minun: ‘And whoever invokes (or
worships), besides Allah,
any other ilah (god), of whom he has no
proof,’ a Verse
from Al-Jinn: ‘And He, exalted is the Majesty
of our Lord,’
ten Verses from the beginning of As-Saffat; three
Verses from
the end of Al-Hashr; (then) ‘Say: He is Allah, (the) One,’
and Al-Mu’awwidhatain. Then the Bedouin stood up, healed,
and
there was nothing wrong with him.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 31, Hadith 114
In the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , `Umar gave in charity some of his property, a garden of date-palms
called Thamgh. `Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have some property which I prize highly and I want
to give it in charity." The Prophet; said, "Give it in charity (i.e. as an endowment) with its land and
trees on the condition that the land and trees will neither be sold nor given as a present, nor
bequeathed, but the fruits are to be spent in charity." So `Umar gave it in charity, and it was for
Allah's Cause, the emancipation of slaves, for the poor, for guests, for travelers, and for kinsmen. The
person acting as its administrator could eat from it reasonably and fairly, and could let a friend of his
eat from it provided he had no intention of becoming wealthy by its means.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 55, Hadith 27
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father would never do two sets of seven tawafs together without
praying between them. After every seven tawafs he would pray two
rakas, sometimes at the maqam of Ibrahim, and sometimes elsewhere.
Malik was asked whether a man doing voluntary tawaf could, to
make it easier on himself, join two or more sets of seven circuits and
then pray whatever he owed for those sets of seven, and he said, "He
should not do that. The sunna is that he does two rakasafter every
seven circuits."
Malik said, about someone who began doing
tawaf and then forgot how many he had done and did eightor nine
circuits, "He should stop when he knows that he has done more than the
right number and then pray two rakas,and he should not count the ones
that he has done in excess. Neither should he build on the nine that
he has done and then pray the rakas for the two sets of seven circuits
together, because the sunna is that you pray two rakas after every
seven circuits."
Malik said that someone who was in doubt
about his tawaf after he had prayed the two rakas of tawaf should go
back and complete his tawaf until he was certain of how much he had
done. He should then repeat the two rakas, because prayer when doing
tawaf was only valid after completing seven circuits.
"If
some one breaks his wudu either while he is doing tawaf, or when he
has finished tawaf but before he has prayed the two rakas of tawaf, he
should do wudu and begin the tawaf and the two rakas afresh. Breaking
wudu does not interrupt say between Safa and Marwa, but a person
should not begin say unless he is pure by being in wudu."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 120
