I said to Ibn `Abbas, "I have an earthenware pot containing Nabidh (i.e. water and dates or grapes) for
me, and I drink of it while it is sweet. If I drink much of it and stay with the people for a long time, I
get afraid that they may discover it (for I will appear as if I were drunk). Ibn `Abbas said, "A
delegation of `Abdul Qais came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he said, "Welcome, O people! Neither will you
have disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! There are the Mudar pagans
between you and us, so we cannot come to you except in the sacred Months. So please teach us some
orders on acting upon which we will enter Paradise. Besides, we will preach that to our people who
are behind us." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I order you to do four things and forbid you from four things (I
order you): To believe in Allah...Do you know what is to believe in Allah? That is to testify that None
has the right to be worshipped except Allah: (I order you also to offer prayers perfectly to pay Zakat;
and to fast the month of Ramadan and to give the Khumus (i.e. one-fifth of the booty) (for Allah's
Sake). I forbid you from four other things (i.e. the wine that is prepared in) Ad-Dubba, An-Naquir,
Az-Hantam and Al-Muzaffat. (See Hadith No. 50 Vol. 1)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 394
"Shu'bah narrated to us, he said: Salamah and Zubaid informed me, from Dharr, from Ibn 'Abdur-Rahman bn Abza from Abdur-Rahman, that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in Witr: "Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High;" and "Say: O you disbelievers!;' and 'Say: He is Allah, (the) One.' And when he said the taslim, he would say: Subhanal-Malikil-Quddus (Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy) three times, raising his voice with Subhanal-Malikil-Quddus the third time."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 20, Hadith 136
Yahya related to me that Malik asked Ibn Shihab about selling
animals, two for one with delayed terms. He said, "There is no harm in
it."
Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing things
among us is that there is no harm in bartering a camel for a camel
like it and adding some dirhams to the exchange, from hand to hand.
There is no harm in bartering a camel for a camel like it with some
dirhams on top of the exchange, the camels to be exchanged from hand
to hand, and the dirhams to be paid within a period." He said, "There
is no good however in bartering a camel for a camel like it with some
dirhams on top of it, with the dirhams paid in cash and the camel to
be delivered later. If both the camel and the dirhams are deferred
there is no good in that either."
Malik said, "There is no
harm in buying a riding camel with two or more pack-camels, if they
are from inferior stock. There is no harm in bartering two of them for
one with delayed terms, if they are different and their difference is
clear. If they resemble each other whether their species are different
or not, two are not to be taken for one with delayed terms."
Malik said, "The explanation of what is disapproved of in that, is
that a camel should not be bought with two camels when there is no
distinction between them in speed or hardiness. If this is according
to what I have described to you, then one does not buy two of them for
one with delayed terms. There is no harm in selling those of them you
buy before you complete the deal to somebody other than the one from
whom you bought them if you get the price in cash."
Malik
said, "It is permitted for someone to advance something on animals for
a fixed term and describe the amount and pay its price in cash.
Whatever the buyer and seller have described is obliged for them. That
is still permitted behaviour between people and what the people of
knowledge in our land do."
Muwatta Malik Book 31, Hadith 61
When Allah gave victory to His Apostle over the people of Mecca, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) stood up among
the people and after glorifying Allah, said, "Allah has prohibited fighting in Mecca and has given
authority to His Apostle and the believers over it, so fighting was illegal for anyone before me, and
was made legal for me for a part of a day, and it will not be legal for anyone after me. Its game should
not be chased, its thorny bushes should not be uprooted, and picking up its fallen things is not allowed
except for one who makes public announcement for it, and he whose relative is murdered has the
option either to accept a compensation for it or to retaliate." Al-`Abbas said, "Except Al-Idhkhir, for
we use it in our graves and houses." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Except Al-Idhkhir." Abu Shah, a Yemenite,
stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Get it written for me." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Write it for Abu
Shah." (The sub-narrator asked Al-Auza'i): What did he mean by saying, "Get it written, O Allah's
Apostle?" He replied, "The speech which he had heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ."
