Malik was asked about whether a man could stand at Arafa, or at
Muzdalifa, or stone the Jamras, or do say between Safa and Marwa if he
was not in wudu, and he said, "Every practice in the hajj that a
menstruating woman can take part in can be taken part in by a man who
is not in wudu and there is nothing due from him for that. However, it
is better for him to be in wudu for all those things, and he should
not make a general practice of it."
Malik was asked whether a
man who was riding should get down to do the standing at Arafa or if
he could stand while mounted, and he said, "He can stand while
mounted, unless he or his riding beast have an illness, in which case
Allah is the one who most often accepts an excuse."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 180
I was a man who was more given than others to sexual intercourse with women. When the month of Ramadan came, I feared lest I should have intercourse with my wife, and this evil should remain with me till the morning. So I made my wife like my mother's back to me till the end of Ramadan. But one night when she was waiting upon me, something of her was revealed. Suddenly I jumped upon her. When the morning came I went to my people and informed them about this matter.
I said: Go along with me to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
They said: No, by Allah. So I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him and informed him of the matter.
He said: Have you really committed it, Salamah? I said: I committed it twice, Messenger of Allah. I am content with the Commandment of Allah, the Exalted; so take a decision about me according to what Allah has shown you.
He said: Free a slave. I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, I do not possess a neck other than this: and I struck the surface of my neck.
He said: Then fast two consecutive months. I said: Whatever I suffered is due to fasting.
He said: Feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates.
I said: By Him Who sent you with truth, we passed the night hungry; there was no food in our house.
He said: Then go to the collector of sadaqah of Banu Zurayq; he must give it to you. Then feed sixty poor people with a wasq of dates; and you and your family eat the remaining dates. Then I came back to my people, and said (to them): I found with you poverty and bad opinion; and I found with the Prophet (ﷺ) prosperity and good opinion. He has commanded me to give alms to you.
Ibn al-Ala' added: Ibn Idris said: Bayadah is a sub-clan of Banu Zurayq.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 13, Hadith 39
I was praying with the Messenger of Allah(ﷺ). A man in the company sneezed, and I said: May Allah have mercy on you! The people gave me disapproving looks, so I said: Woe is to me! What do you mean by looking at me? They began to strike their hand on their thighs; then I realised that they were urging me to be silent. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished his prayer – for whom I would give my father and mother as ransom-he did not beat, scold or revile me, but said: No talk to people in lawful in this prayer, for it consists only in glorifying Allah, declaring His greatness, and reciting the Quran or words to that effect said by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I said: Messenger of Allah, we were only recently pagans, but Allah has brought Islam to us, and among us there are men who have recourse to soothsayers (kahins). He replied: Do not have recourse to them. I said: Among us are there are men who take omens. He replied: That is something which they find, but let it not turn them away (from what they intended to do). I said: among us there are men who draw lines. He replied: There was a prophet who drew lines; so if the line of anyone tallies with this line, that might come true. I said: A slave-girl of mine used to tend goats before (the mountain) Uhud and al-Jawaniyyah. Once when I reached her (suddenly) I found that a wolf had taken away a goat of them. I am a human being; I feel grieved as others do. But I gave her a good knocking. This was unbearable for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I asked: Should I set her free ? He replied: Bring her to me. So I brought her to him. He asked (her): Where is Allah ? She said: In the heaven. He said: Who am I ? She replied: You are the Messenger of Allah. He said: Set her free, for she is believer.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 2, Hadith 541
When the news of the arrival of the Prophet (ﷺ) at Medina reached `Abdullah bin Salam, he went to him
to ask him about certain things, He said, "I am going to ask you about three things which only a
Prophet can answer: What is the first sign of The Hour? What is the first food which the people of
Paradise will eat? Why does a child attract the similarity to his father or to his mother?" The Prophet (ﷺ)
replied, "Gabriel has just now informed me of that." Ibn Salam said, "He (i.e. Gabriel) is the enemy of
the Jews amongst the angels. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "As for the first sign of The Hour, it will be a fire that
will collect the people from the East to the West. As for the first meal which the people of Paradise
will eat, it will be the caudate (extra) lobe of the fish-liver. As for the child, if the man's discharge
proceeds the woman's discharge, the child attracts the similarity to the man, and if the woman's
discharge proceeds the man's, then the child attracts the similarity to the woman."
On this, `Abdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that None has the right to be worshipped except Allah,
and that you are the Messenger of Allah." and added, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Jews invent such lies as make
one astonished, so please ask them about me before they know about my conversion to I slam . " The
Jews came, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What kind of man is `Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They
replied, "The best of us and the son of the best of us and the most superior among us, and the son of
the most superior among us. "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What would you think if `Abdullah bin Salam should
embrace Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." The Prophet (ﷺ) repeated his question and
they gave the same answer. Then `Abdullah came out to them and said, "I testify that None has the
right to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah!" On this, the Jews
said, "He is the most wicked among us and the son of the most wicked among us." So they degraded
him. On this, he (i.e. `Abdullah bin Salam) said, "It is this that I was afraid of, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).
