Yahya related to me, and I (myself) heard Malik say, "The best
that I have heard about some one who has to fast for two consecutive
months because of having killed someone by mistake or having
pronounced the dhihar form of divorce, becoming very ill and having to
break his fast, is that if he recovers from his illness and is strong
enough to fast, he must not delay doing so. He continues his fast from
where he left off.
Similarly, a woman who has to fast because
of having killed some one by mistake should not delay resuming her
fast when she has become pure after her period. She continues her fast
from where she left off.
No one who, by the Book of Allah,
has to fast for two consecutive months may break his fast except for a
reason - illness or menstruation. He must not travel and break his
fast."
Malik said, "This is the best that I have heard about
the matter."
Muwatta Malik Book 18, Hadith 43
Many deputations came to Mu'awiya. This was in the month of Ramadan. We would prepare food for one another. Abu Huraira was one of those who frequently invited us to his house. I said: Should I not prepare food and invite them to my place? So I ordered meals to be prepared Then I met Abu Huraira in the evening and said: (You will have) your meals with me tonight. He said: You have forestalled me. I said: Yes, and invited them. (When they had finished with the meals) Abu Huraira said: Should I not tell yon a tradition from your traditions, O ye assembly of the Ansar? He then gave an account of the Conquest of Mecca and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) advanced until he reached Mecca. He deputed Zubair on his right flank and Khalid on the left, and he despatched Abu Ubaida with the force that had no armour. They advanced to the interior of the valley. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in the midst of a large contingent of fighters. He saw me and said: Abu Huraira. I said: I am here at your call, Messenger of Allah I He said: Let no one come to me except the Ansar, so call to me the Ansar (only). Abu Huraira continued: So they gathered round him. The Quraish also gathered their ruffians and their (lowly) followers, and said: We send these forward. If they get anything, we shall be with them (to share it), and if misfortune befalls them, we shall pay (as compensation) whatever we are asked for. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said (to the Ansar): You see the ruffians and the (lowly) followers of the Quraish. And he indicated by (striking) one of his hands over the other that they should be killed and said: Meet me at as-Safa. Then we went on (and) if any one of us wanted that a certain person should be killed, he was killed, and none could offer any resistance. Abu Huraira continued: Then came Abu Sufyan and said: Messenger of Allah, the blood of the Quraish has become very cheap. There will be no Quraish from this day on. Then he (the Holy Prophet) said: Who enters the house of Abu Sufyan, he will be safe. Some of the Ansar whispered among themselves: (After all), love for his city and tenderness towards his relations have overpowered him. Abu Huraira said: (At this moment) revelation came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and when he was going to receive the Revelation, we understood it, and when he was (actually) receiving it, none of us would dare raise his eyes to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) until the revelation came to an end. When the revelation came to an end, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: O ye Assembly of the Ansar! They said: Here we are at your disposal, Messenger of Allah. He said: You were saying that love for his city and tenderness towards his people have overpowered this man. They said: So it was. He said: No, never. I am a bondman of God and His Messenger. I migrated towards God and towards you. I will live with you and will die with you. So, they (the Ansar) turned towards him in tears and they were saying: By Allah, we said what we said because of our tenacious attachment to Allah and His Messenger. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Surely, Allah and His Messenger testify to your assertions and accept your apology. The narrator continued: People turned to the house of Abu Sufyan and people locked their doors. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) proceeded until he approached the (Black) Stone. He kissed it and circumambulated the Ka'ba. He reached near an idol by the side of the Ka'ba which was worshipped by the people. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had a bow in his hand, and he was holding it from a corner. When he came near the idol, he began to pierce its eyes with the bow and (while doing so) was saying: Truth has been established and falsehood has perished. When he had finished the circumambulation, he came to Safa', ascended it to a height from where he could see the Ka'ba, raised his hands (in prayer) and began to praise Allah and prayed what he wanted to pray.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his
father from Abu Hurayra that a man of the Aslam tribe said, "I did not
sleep last night." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said to him, "For what reason?" He said, "A scorpion
bit me." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Had you said in the evening, 'I seek refuge with the
complete words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, 'it
would not have happened."

Muwatta Malik Book 51, Hadith 11
“A man from my nation will be called before all of creation
on the Day
of Resurrection, and ninety-nine scrolls will be spread
out for him,
each one extending as far as the eye can see. Then Allah
will say: “Do
you deny anything of this?” He will say: “No, O
Lord.” He will say:
“Have My recording scribes been unfair to
you?” Then He will say:
“Apart from that, do you have any good
deeds?” The man will be
terrified and will say: “No.” (Allah)
will say: “Indeed, you have good
deeds with Us, and you will not be
treated unjustly this Day.” Then a
card will be brought out on
which is written Ash-hadu an la ilaha
illallah wa anna Muhammadan
‘abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that
none has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is
His slave and Messenger).
He will say: “O Lord, what is this card
compared with these
scrolls?” He will say: “You will not be treated
unjustly.” Then
the scrolls will be placed in one side of the Balance
and the card in
the other. The scrolls will go up (i.e., be light) and
the card will
go down (i.e., will weigh heavily).”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 37, Hadith 201
When it occurs to my bondsman that he should do a good deed but he actually does not do it, record one good to him, but if he puts it into practice, I make an entry of ten good acts in his favour. When it occurs to him to do evil, but he does not commit it, I forgive that. But if he commits it, I record one evil against his name. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed. The angels said: That bondsman of Yours intends to commit evil. though His Lord is more Vigilant than he. Upon this He (the Lord) said: Watch him; if he commits (evil), write it against his name but if he refrains from doing it, write one good deed or him, for he desisted from doing it for My sake. The Messenger of Allah said: He who amongst you is good of faith, all his good acts are multiplied from ten to seven hundred times (and are recorded in his name) and all the evils that he commits are recorded as such (i, e. without increase) till he meets Allah.
