Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) met Az-Zubair in a caravan of Muslim merchants who were returning from Sham. Az-Zubair provided Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr with white clothes to wear. When the Muslims of Medina heard the news of the departure of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from Mecca (towards Medina), they started going to the Harra every morning . They would wait for him till the heat of the noon forced them to return. One day, after waiting for a long while, they returned home, and when they went into their houses, a Jew climbed up the roof of one of the forts of his people to look for some thing, and he saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and his companions dressed in white clothes, emerging out of the desert mirage. The Jew could not help shouting at the top of his voice, "O you 'Arabs! Here is your great man whom you have been waiting for!" So all the Muslims rushed to their arms and received Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the summit of Harra. The Prophet (ﷺ) turned with them to the right and alighted at the quarters of Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf, and this was on Monday in the month of Rabi-ul-Awal. Abu Bakr stood up, receiving the people while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sat down and kept silent. Some of the Ansar who came and had not seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) before, began greeting Abu Bakr, but when the sunshine fell on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Abu Bakr came forward and shaded him with his sheet only then the people came to know Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stayed with Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf for ten nights and established the mosque (mosque of Quba) which was founded on piety. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed in it and then mounted his she-camel and proceeded on, accompanied by the people till his she-camel knelt down at (the place of) the Mosque of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at Medina. Some Muslims used to pray there in those days, and that place was a yard for drying dates belonging to Suhail and Sahl, the orphan boys who were under the guardianship of 'Asad bin Zurara. When his she-camel knelt down, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "This place, Allah willing, will be our abiding place." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then called the two boys and told them to suggest a price for that yard so that he might take it as a mosque. The two boys said, "No, but we will give it as a gift, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then built a mosque there. The Prophet (ﷺ) himself started carrying unburnt bricks for its building and while doing so, he was saying "This load is better than the load of Khaibar, for it is more pious in the Sight of Allah and purer and better rewardable." He was also saying, "O Allah! The actual reward is the reward in the Hereafter, so bestow Your Mercy on the Ansar and the Emigrants." Thus the Prophet (ﷺ) recited (by way of proverb) the poem of some Muslim poet whose name is unknown to me.
(Ibn Shibab said, "In the Hadiths it does not occur that Allah's Apostle
recited a complete poetic verse other than this one.")
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 63, Hadith 131
that he remembered Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he also remembered a mouthful of water which he had
thrown on his face, after taking it from a well that was in their house. Mahmud said that he had heard
`Itban bin Malik, who was present with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the battle of Badr saying, "I used to lead my
people at Bani Salim in the prayer and there was a valley between me and those people. Whenever it
rained it used to be difficult for me to cross it to go to their mosque. So I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
said, 'I have weak eyesight and the valley between me and my people flows during the rainy season
and it becomes difficult for me to cross it; I wish you would come to my house and pray at a place so
that I could take that place as a praying place.' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'I will do so.' So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
and Abu Bakr came to my house in the (next) morning after the sun had risen high. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
asked my permission to let him in and I admitted him. He did not sit before saying, 'Where do you
want us to offer the prayer in your house?' I pointed to the place where I wanted him to pray. So
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up for the prayer and started the prayer with Takbir and we aligned in rows
behind him; and he offered two rak`at, and finished them with Taslim, and we also performed Taslim
with him. I detained him for a meal called "Khazir" which I had prepared for him.--("Khazir" is a
special type of dish prepared from barley flour and meat soup)--
When the neighbors got the news that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was in my house, they poured it till there were a
great number of men in the house. One of them said, 'What is wrong with Malik, for I do not see him?'
One of them replied, 'He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Apostle.' On that Allah's
Apostle said, 'Don't say this. Haven't you seen that he said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah for Allah's sake only.' The man replied, 'Allah and His Apostle know better; but by Allah, we
never saw him but helping and talking with the hypocrites.' Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, 'No doubt,
whoever says. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and by that he wants the pleasures of
Allah, then Allah will save him from Hell." Mahmud added, "I told the above narration to some
people, one of whom was Abu Aiyub, the companion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in the battle in which he (Abu
Aiyub) died and Yazid bin Mu'awiya was their leader in Roman Territory. Abu Aiyub denounced the
narration and said, 'I doubt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ever said what you have said.' I felt that too much, and
I vowed to Allah that if I remained alive in that holy battle, I would (go to Medina and) ask `Itban bin
Malik if he was still living in the mosque of his people. So when he returned, I assumed Ihram for
Hajj or `Umra and then I proceeded on till I reached Medina. I went to Bani Salim and `Itban bin
Malik, who was by then an old blind man, was leading his people in the prayer. When he finished the
prayer, I greeted him and introduced myself to him and then asked him about that narration. He told
that narration again in the same manner as he had narrated it the first time."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 19, Hadith 62
Yahya related to me from Malik, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from Ata ibn
Yasar, that Kab al-Ahbar was once coming back from Syria with a group
of riders, and at a certain point along the road they found some game-
meat and Kab said they could eat it. When they got back to Madina they
went to Umar ibn al-Khattab and told him about that, and he said, "Who
told you you could do that?", and they said, ''Kab.'' He said, "He was
indeed the one I made amir over you until you should return."
Later, when they were on the road to Makka, a swarm of locusts passed
them by and Kab told them to catch them and eat them. When they got
back to Umar ibn al-Khattab they told him about this, and he said (to
Kab), "What made you tell them they could do that?" Kab said, "It is
game of the sea." He said, "How do you know?", and Kab said, "Amir al-
muminin, by the One in whose hand my self is, it is only the sneeze of
a fish which it sneezes twice every year."
Malik was asked
whether a muhrim could buy game that he had found on the way. He
replied, "Game that is only hunted to be offered to people performing
Hajj I disapprove of and forbid, but there is no harm in game that a
man has which he does not intend for those in ihram, but which a
muhrim finds and buys."
Malik said, about someone who had
some game with him that he had hunted or bought at the time when he
had entered into ihram, that he did not have to get rid of it, and
that there was no harm in him giving it to his family.
Malik
said that it was halal for some one in ihram to fish in the sea or in
rivers and lakes, etc.
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 84
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said and 'Abdullah
ibn Abi Bakr and Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman that al-Walid ibn Abd al-
Malik asked Salim ibn Abdullah and Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit if he
could use perfume after he had stoned the jamra and shaved his head,
but before he had left for the tawafal-ifada. Salim forbade him to do
so, but Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit said that he could.
Malik
said, "There is no harm in a man oiling himself with an oil which does
not have any perfume in it, either before he enters ihram, or before
he leaves Mina for the tawaf al-ifada, if he has stoned the jamra."
Yahya said that Malik was asked whether someone in ihram
could eat food with saffron in it, and he said, "There is no harm in
some one in ihram eating it if it has been cooked. If, however, it has
not been cooked he should not eat it."
