The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None spoke in cradle but three: (The first was) Jesus, (the second was), there a man
from Bani Israel called Juraij. While he was offering his prayers, his mother came and called him. He
said (to himself), 'Shall I answer her or keep on praying?" (He went on praying) and did not answer
her, his mother said, "O Allah! Do not let him die till he sees the faces of prostitutes." So while he was
in his hermitage, a lady came and sought to seduce him, but he refused. So she went to a shepherd and
presented herself to him to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her and then later she gave birth to a
child and claimed that it belonged to Juraij. The people, therefore, came to him and dismantled his
hermitage and expelled him out of it and abused him. Juraij performed the ablution and offered prayer,
and then came to the child and said, 'O child! Who is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.'
(After hearing this) the people said, 'We shall rebuild your hermitage of gold,' but he said, 'No, of
nothing but mud.'(The third was the hero of the following story) A lady from Bani Israel was nursing
her child at her breast when a handsome rider passed by her. She said, 'O Allah ! Make my child like
him.' On that the child left her breast, and facing the rider said, 'O Allah! Do not make me like him.'
The child then started to suck her breast again. (Abu Huraira further said, "As if I were now looking at
the Prophet (ﷺ) sucking his finger (in way of demonstration.") After a while the people passed by, with a
lady slave and she (i.e. the child's mother) said, 'O Allah! Do not make my child like this (slave girl)!,
On that the child left her breast and said, 'O Allah! Make me like her.' When she asked why, the child
replied, 'The rider is one of the tyrants while this slave girl is falsely accused of theft and illegal sexual
intercourse."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 107
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam that Jabir ibn
Abdullah al-Ansari said, "We went out with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the raid on the Banu Ammar
tribe." Jabir said, "I was resting under a tree when the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came. I said,
'Messenger of Allah; come to the shade.' So the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sat down, and I stood up and
went to a sack of ours. I looked in it for something and found a small
cucumber and broke it. Then I brought it to the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace. He said, 'From where did you
get this?' I said, 'We brought it from Madina, Messenger of Allah.' "
Jabir continued, "We had a friend of ours with us whom we
used to equip to go out to guard our mounts. I gave him what was
necessary and then he turned about to go to the mounts and he was
wearing two threadbare cloaks of his. The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, looked at him and said, 'Does he
have two garments other than these?' I said, 'Yes, Messenger of Allah.
He has two garments in the bag.' I gave them to him. He said, 'Let him
go and put them on.' I let him go to put them on. As he turned to go,
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
exclaimed, 'May Allah strike his neck. Isn't that better for him?' He
said (taking him literally), 'Messenger of Allah, in the way of
Allah.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'In the way of Allah.' " Jabir added, "The man was killed
in the way of Allah."
Muwatta Malik Book 48, Hadith 1
"The Prophet used to say: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal hazani, wal-kasali, wal-bukhli, wal-jubni, wa dala'id-dain, wa ghalabatir-rijal (O Allah, I seek refuge with You from worry, grief, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, difficult debt and being overpowered by men.)'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 50, Hadith 49
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Zurayq
ibn Hayyan, who was in charge of Egypt in the time of al-Walid,
Sulayman, and Umar ibn Abd al-'Aziz, mentioned that Umar ibn Abd al-
Aziz had written to him saying, "Assess the muslims that you come
across and take from what is apparent of their wealth and whatever
merchandise is in their charge, one dinar for every forty dinars, and
the same proportion from what is less than that down to twenty dinars,
and if the amount falls short of that by one third of a dinar then
leave it and do not take anything from it. As for the people of the
Book that you come across, take from the merchandise in their charge
one dinar for every twenty dinars, and the same proportion from what
is less than that down to ten dinars, and if the amount falls short by
one third of a dinar leave it and do not take anything from it. Give
them a receipt for what you have taken f rom them until the same time
next year."
Malik said, "The position among us (in Madina)
concerning goods which are being managed for trading purposes is that
if a man pays zakat on his wealth, and then buys goods with it,
whether cloth, slaves or something similar, and then sells them before
a year has elapsed over them, he does not pay zakat on that wealth
until a year elapses over it from the day he paid zakat on it. He does
not have to pay zakat on any of the goods if he does not sell them for
some years, and even if he keeps them for a very long time he still
only has to pay zakat on them once when he sells them."
Malik
said, "The position among us concerning a man who uses gold or silver
to buy wheat, dates, or whatever, for trading purposes and keeps it
until a year has elapsed over it and then sells it, is that he only
has to pay zakat on it if and when he sells it, if the price reaches a
zakatable amount. This is therefore not the same as the harvest crops
that a man reaps from his land, or the dates that he harvests from his
palms."
Malik said, "A man who has wealth which he invests in
trade, but which does not realise a zakatable profit for him, fixes a
month in the year when he takes stock of what goods he has for
trading, and counts the gold and silver that he has in ready money,
and if all of it comes to a zakatable amount he pays zakat on it."
Malik said, "The position is the same for muslims who trade
and muslims who do not. They only have to pay zakat once in any one
year, whether they trade in that year or not."
