Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
from his father that a man of Thaqif gave his wife command over
herself, and she said, "You are divorced." He was silent. She said,
"You are divorced." He said, "May a stone be in your mouth." She said,
"You are divorced." He said, "May a stone be in your mouth." They
argued and went to Marwan ibn al-Hakam. He took an oath that he had
only given her control over one pronouncement, and then she returned
to him.
Malik said that Abd ar-Rahman declared that this
decision had amazed al-Qasim, who thought it the best that he had
heard on the subject.
Malik added, "That is also the best of
what I have heard on the subject."
Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 13
"The Messenger of Allah taught us the Tashah-hud for Salat and the Tashah-hud for Al-Hajjah." He said: "The Tashah-hud for Salat is: (At-Tahiyyatulilah, was-walawtu wat-tayyibatu. As-Salamu alaika ayyuhan-Nabiyyu wa rahmatullilahi wa barakatuhu, As-Salamu alina wa ala ibadillahis-salihin. Ashahadu an la ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduha wa Raduluh.) 'All greetings, prayers, and pure words are for Allah. Peace be upon you O Prophet, and Allah's mercy and His blessings. Peace be upon us and all of the righteous worshippers of Allah. I testify that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah. and I testify that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger."And the Tashah-hud for Al-Hajjah is: 'Indeed all praise is due to Allah, we seek His aid, and we seek His forgiveness, and we seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls and the mischief of our deeds. (Innal-Hamdlillahi nasta'inuhu, wa nastaghfirhu, wa na'udhu billahi min sharuri anfusina, wa sayy'ita a'malina, man yahdihi, sala mudilla lahu, wa manyudlil, fala Hadiya lahu, wa ashadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa Rasuluh) 'Whoever He guides - meaning Allah - then here is none to lead him astray, and whomever He misleads, then there is no guide for him. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is His worshipper and Messenger.'"
He said: "And he recited three Ayat."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 11, Hadith 26
When I visited Aisha she said, "Barirah who had a written contract for her emancipation for a certain
amount came to me and said, "O mother of the believers! Buy me and manumit me, as my masters
will sell me." Aisha agreed to it. Barirah said, 'My masters will sell me on the condition that my Wala
will go to them." Aisha said to her, 'Then I am not in need of you.' The Prophet (ﷺ) heard of that or was
told about it and so he asked Aisha, 'What is the problem of Barirah?' He said, 'Buy her and manumit
her, no matter what they stipulate.' Aisha added, 'I bought and manumitted her, though her masters
had stipulated that her Wala would be for them.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, The Wala is for the liberator, even
if the other stipulated a hundred conditions."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 54, Hadith 14
"When Sa'd bin Hisham bin Amir came to visit us, he told us that he came to Ibn Abbas and asked him about the witr of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He said: 'Shall I not tell you of the most knowledgeable person on Earth about the witr of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?' I said: 'Who?' He said: 'Aishah.' So we went to her and greeted her with Salam and entered and asked her. I said: 'Tell me about the witr of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).' She said: 'We used to prepare for him his siwak and water for wudu, then Allah (SWT) would wake him when He willed to wake him at night. He would clean his teeth and perform wudu, then he would pray nine rak'ahs, during which he would not sit until the eighth. Then he would praise Allah (SWT) and remember Him and supplicate, then he would get up and not say the taslim. Then he would pray the ninth, then sit and praise Allah (SWT) and remember Him and supplicate, then he would say a taslim that we could hear. Then he prayed two rak'ahs sitting, and that was eleven rak'ahs, O my son. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) grew older and put on weight, he prayed witr with seven, then he prayed two rak'ahs sitting after saying the taslim, and that was nine, O my son. And when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) offered a prayer, he liked to persist in offering it.'"
