Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Abdullah ibn
Jabir ibn Atik that Atik ibn al-Harith, the grandfather of Abdullah
ibn Abdullah ibn Jabir on his mother's side, told him that Jabir ibn
Atik had told him that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, came to visit Abdullah ibn Thabit and found him in
his death-throes. He called to him but he did not reply. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "We belong to
Allah, and to Him we are returning," and added, "You are being taken
from us, Abur-Rabi`." The women cried out and wept, and Jabir began
to silence them. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Leave them, and when the necessary time comes, none
of the women should cry." They said, "Messenger of Allah, what is the
necessary time?" and he replied, "When he dies." The dying man's
daughter said, "By Allah, I hope that you will be a martyr, for you
have completed your preparations for battle," and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah has made
his reward fall according to his intention. What do you consider dying
a martyr to be?" They said, "Death in the way of Allah." The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There are
seven kinds of martyr other than those killed in the way of Allah.
Someone who is killed by the plague is a martyr, someone who drowns is
a martyr, someone who dies of pleurisy is a martyr, someone who dies
of a disease of the belly is a martyr, someone who dies by fire is a
martyr, someone who dies under a falling building is a martyr and a
woman who dies in childbirth is a martyr."
Muwatta Malik Book 16, Hadith 37
Abu Dawud and others have said: When a she-camel enters fourth year, the female is called hiqqah, and the male is called hiqq, for it deserves that it should be loaded and ridden. When a camel enters its fifth year, the male is called Jadha' and the female is called Jadha'ah. When it enters its sixth year, and sheds its front teeth, it is called thani (male) and thaniyyah (female). When it enters its seventh year, it is called raba' and raba'iyyah. When it enters its ninth year and cuts its canine teeth, it is called bazil. When it enters its tenth year, it is called mukhlif. Then there is no name for it, but is called bazil'am and bazil'amain, and mukhlif'am and mukhlif'amain, upto any year it increases. Nad d. Shumail said: Bint makhad is a she-camel of one year, and bin labun is s she-camel of two years, hiqqah is a she-camel of three years, jadha'ah is a she-camel of four years, thani is a camel of five years, raba' is a camel of six years, sadis is a camel of seven years, and bazil is a camel of eight years.
Abu Dawud said: Abu Hatim and al-Asma'i said: Al-Jadhu'ah is a time when no tooth is growing. Abu Hatim said: Some of them said: When it sheds its teeth between front and canine teeth, it is called raba' and when it sheds its front teeth, it is called thani. Abu 'Ubaid said: When it becomes pregnant, it is called khalifah, and it remains khalifah for ten months; when it reaches ten months, it is called 'ushara', Abu Hatim said: When it shed its front teeth, it is called thani and when it sheds its teeth between front and canine teeth it is called raba'.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 41, Hadith 62
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim
that his father used to go into Makka by night when he was doing umra
and do tawaf of the House and say between Safa and Marwa and delay the
shaving until the morning, but he would not go back to the House and
do tawaf again until he had shaved his head.
Abd ar-Rahman
added, "Sometimes he would enter the mosque and do the witr prayer
there without actually going near the House."
Malik said,
"At-tafath is shaving the head, putting on normal clothes and things
of that nature."
Yahya said that Malik was asked whether a
man who forgot to shave (his head) at Mina during the hajj could shave
in Makka, and he said, "That is permissible, but I prefer the shaving
to be done at Mina."
Malik said, "What we are all agreed upon
here (in Madina) is that no-one should shave his head or cut his hair
until he has killed his sacrificial animal, if he has one, and things
that are haram for him do not become halal for him until he leaves
ihram at Mina on the day of sacrifice. This is because Allah, the
Blessed and Exalted, says, 'Do not shave yourheads until the
sacrificial animal has reached its destination. ' "
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 197
Yahya related to me from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman
from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban that Ibn Muhayriz said, "I went
into the mosque and saw Abu Said al-Khudri and so I sat by him and
asked him about coitus interruptus. Abu Said al-Khudri said, 'We went
out with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, on the expedition to the Banu al-Mustaliq. We took some Arabs
prisoner, and we desired the women as celibacy was hard for us. We
wanted the ransom, so we wanted to practise coitus interruptus. We
said, 'Shall we practise coitus interruptus while the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is among us before we
ask him?' We asked him about that and he said, 'You don't have to not
do it. There is no self which is to come into existence up to the Day
of Rising but that it will come into existence.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 29, Hadith 106
Malik related to me from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"Whomever Allah protects from the evil of two things will enter the
Garden." A man said, "Messenger of Allah, do not tell us!" The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was
silent. Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, repeated what he had said the first time. The man said to him,
"Do not tell us, Messenger of Allah!" The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, was silent. Then the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said the same thing
again. The man said, "Do not tell us, Messenger of Allah!" Then the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said the
same thing again. Then the man began to say what he had said
previously and a man at his side silenced him. The Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whomever Allah
protects from the evil of two things will enter the Garden. They are
what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, what is between
his jaws and what is between his legs, what is between his jaws and
what is between his legs."
Muwatta Malik Book 56, Hadith 11
