Az-Zubair said, "I met Ubaida bin Sa`id bin Al-As on the day (of the battle) of Badr and he was
covered with armor; so much that only his eyes were visible. He was surnamed Abu Dhat-al-Karish.
He said (proudly), 'I am Abu-al-Karish.' I attacked him with the spear and pierced his eye and he died.
I put my foot over his body to pull (that spear) out, but even then I had to use a great force to take it
out as its both ends were bent." `Urwa said, "Later on Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked Az-Zubair for the spear
and he gave it to him. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) died, Az-Zubair took it back. After that Abu Bakr
demanded it and he gave it to him, and when Abu Bakr died, Az-Zubair took it back. `Umar then
demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When `Umar died, Az-Zubair took it back, and then
`Uthman demanded it from him and he gave it to him. When `Uthman was martyred, the spear
remained with `Ali's offspring. Then `Abdullah bin Az-Zubair demanded it back, and it remained with
him till he was martyred.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 49
Yahya related to me from Malik, from Abdullah ibn Dinar, that
Abdullah ibn Umar used to say, "Anyone that does umra in the months of
hajj, that is, in Shawwal, Dhu'l-Qada, or in Dhu'l-Hijja before the
hajj, and then stays in Makka until the time for hajj, is doing
tamattu if he then does hajj. He must sacrifice whatever animal it is
easy for him to obtain, and if he cannot find one then he must fast
three days during hajj and seven days when he returns."
Malik
said, "This is only the case if he stays until the hajj and does hajj
in that same year."
Malik said that if someone who was from
Makka but had stopped living there and gone to live elsewhere, came
back to do umra in the months of the hajj and then stayed in Makka to
begin hajj there, he was doing tamattu, and had to offer up a
sacrificial animal, or fast if he could not find one. He was not the
same as the people of Makka.
Malik was asked whether someone
who was not from Makka and entered Makka to do umra in the months of
hajj with the intention of staying on to begin his hajj there was
doing tamattu or not, and he said, "Yes, he is doing tamattu, and he
is not the same as the people of Makka, even if he has the intention
of staying there. This is because he has entered Makka, and is not one
of its people, and making a sacrifice or fasting is incumbent on
anyone who is not from Makka, and, although he intends to stay, he
does not know what possibilities might arise later. He is not one of
the people of Makka."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 64
On the day of Nahr Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) delivered the Khutba after the `Id prayer and said, "Anyone who
prayed like us and slaughtered the sacrifice like we did then he acted according to our (Nusuk)
tradition of sacrificing, and whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, then that was just
mutton (i.e. not sacrifice)." Abu Burda bin Naiyar stood up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, I
slaughtered my sacrifice before I offered the (Id) prayer and thought that today was the day of eating
and drinking (nonalcoholic drinks) and so I made haste (in slaughtering) and ate and also fed my
family and neighbors." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "That was just mutton (not a sacrifice)." Then Abu Burda
said, "I have a young she-goat and no doubt, it is better than two sheep. Will that be sufficient as a
sacrifice for me?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Yes. But it will not be sufficient for anyone else (as a
sacrifice), after you."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 13, Hadith 32
Ibn Shihab informed me of Lian and the tradition related to it, referring to the narration of Sahl bin
Sa`d, the brother of Bani Sa`idi He said, "An Ansari man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, 'O Allah's
Apostle! If a man saw another man with his wife, should he kill him, or what should he do?' So Allah
revealed concerning his affair what is mentioned in the Holy Qur'an about the affair of those involved
in a case of Lian. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Allah has given His verdict regarding you and your wife.' So they
carried out Lian in the mosque while I was present there. When they had finished, the man said, "O
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! If I should now keep her with me as a wife then I have told a lie about her. Then he
divorced her thrice before Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ordered him, when they had finished the Lian process. So
he divorced her in front of the Prophet (ﷺ) ." Ibn Shihab added, "After their case, it became a tradition that
a couple involved in a case of Lian should be separated by divorce. That lady was pregnant then, and
later on her son was called by his mother's name. The tradition concerning their inheritance was that
she would be his heir and he would inherit of her property the share Allah had prescribed for him."
Ibn Shihab said that Sahl bin Sa`d As'Saidi said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said (in the above narration), "If that
lady delivers a small red child like a lizard, then the lady has spoken the truth and the man was a liar,
but if she delivers a child with black eyes and huge lips, then her husband has spoken the truth." Then
she delivered it in the shape one would dislike (as it proved her guilty).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 68, Hadith 58
`Abdullah bin `Umar said, "Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was busy (at the time of the `Isha'), so the prayer
was delayed so much so that we slept and woke up and slept and woke up again. The Prophet (ﷺ) came
out and said, 'None amongst the dwellers of the earth but you have been waiting for the prayer." Ibn
`Umar did not find any harm in praying it earlier or in delaying it unless he was afraid that sleep might
overwhelm him and he might miss the prayer, and sometimes he used to sleep before the `Isha' prayer.
Ibn Juraij said, "I said to `Ata', 'I heard Ibn `Abbas saying: Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) delayed the `Isha'
prayer to such an extent that the people slept and got up and slept again and got up again. Then `Umar
bin Al-Khattab I, stood up and reminded the Prophet (ﷺ) I of the prayer.' `Ata' said, 'Ibn `Abbas said: The
Prophet came out as if I was looking at him at this time, and water was trickling from his head and he
was putting his hand on his head and then said, 'Hadn't I thought it hard for my followers, I would
have ordered them to pray (`Isha' prayer) at this time.' I asked `Ata' for further information, how the
Prophet had kept his hand on his head as he was told by Ibn `Abbas. `Ata' separated his fingers
slightly and put their tips on the side of the head, brought the fingers downwards approximating them
till the thumb touched the lobe of the ear at the side of the temple and the beard on the face. He neither
slowed nor hurried in this action but he acted like that. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Hadn't I thought it hard for
my followers I would have ordered them to pray at this time."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 9, Hadith 47
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi', the mawla of Abdullah ibn Umar, that Umar ibn al-Khattab wrote to his governors
saying, "The most important of your affairs in my view is the prayer.
Whoever protects it and observes it carefully is protecting his deen,
while whoever is negligent about it will be even more negligent about
other things." Then he added, "Pray dhuhr any time from when the
afternoon shade is the length of your forearm until the length of your
shadow matches your height. Pray asr when the sun is still pure white,
so that a rider can travel two or three farsakhs before the sun sets.
Pray maghrib when the sun has set. Pray isha any time from when the
redness in the western sky has disappeared until a third of the night
has passed - and a person who sleeps, may he have no rest, a person
who sleeps, may he have no rest. And pray subh when all the stars are
visible and like a haze in the sky."
Muwatta Malik Book 1, Hadith 6
"The sun eclipsed during the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He stood and led the people in prayer. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he stood for a long time that was shorter than the first time, then he bowed for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he prostrated for a long time, then he sat up, then he prostrated for a long time that was shorter than the first time. Then he stood up and bowed twice again, doing the same again. Then he prostrated twice, doing the same again, until he had finished his prayer. Then he said: 'The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah (SWT), and they do not become eclipsed for the death or birth of anyone. If you see that then hasted to remember Allah (SWT) and pray.'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 16, Hadith 25
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Two deens
shall not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula."
Malik said that
Ibn Shihab said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab searched for information about
that until he was absolutely convinced that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, had said, 'Two deens shall
not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula,' and he therefore expelled the
jews from Khaybar."
Malik said, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab expelled the jews from Najran
(a jewish settlement in the Yemen) and Fadak (a jewish settlement
thirty miles from Madina). When the jews of Khaybar left, they did not
take any fruit or land. The jews of Fadak took half the fruit and half
the land, because the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, had made a settlement with them for that. So Umar
entrusted to them the value in gold, silver, camels, ropes and saddle
bags of half the fruit and half the land, and handed the value over to
them and expelled them."
Muwatta Malik Book 45, Hadith 18
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) said, "A man said that he would give something in charity. He went out with
his object of charity and unknowingly gave it to a thief. Next morning the people said that he had
given his object of charity to a thief. (On hearing that) he said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. I
will give alms again." And so he again went out with his alms and (unknowingly) gave it to an
adulteress. Next morning the people said that he had given his alms to an adulteress last night. The
man said, "O Allah! All the praises are for you. (I gave my alms) to an adulteress. I will give alms
again." So he went out with his alms again and (unknowingly) gave it to a rich person. (The people)
next morning said that he had given his alms to a wealthy person. He said, "O Allah! All the praises
are for you. (I had given alms) to a thief, to an adulteress and to a wealthy man." Then someone came
and said to him, "The alms which you gave to the thief, might make him abstain from stealing, and
that given to the adulteress might make her abstain from illegal sexual intercourse (adultery), and that
given to the wealthy man might make him take a lesson from it and spend his wealth which Allah has
given him, in Allah's cause."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 24, Hadith 25
'Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifa came and stayed with his nephew Al-Hurr bin Qais who was one of
those whom `Umar used to keep near him, as the Qurra' (learned men knowing Qur'an by heart) were
the people of `Umar's meetings and his advisors whether they were old or young. 'Uyaina said to his
nephew, "O son of my brother! You have an approach to this chief, so get for me the permission to see
him." Al-Hurr said, "I will get the permission for you to see him." So Al-Hurr asked the permission
for 'Uyaina and `Umar admitted him. When 'Uyaina entered upon him, he said, "Beware! O the son of
Al-Khattab! By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with justice."
Thereupon `Umar became so furious that he intended to harm him, but Al-Hurr said, "O chief of the
Believers! Allah said to His Prophet: "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; and leave (don't
punish) the foolish." (7.199) and this (i.e. 'Uyaina) is one of the foolish." By Allah, `Umar did not
overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him; he observed (the orders of) Allah's Book
strictly.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 164
"My father 'Ali called me to bring (water for) Wudu', so I brought it to him, and he started by washing his hands three times, before putting them into the water. Then he rinsed his mouth three times and sniffed water into his nose and blew it out three times. Then he washed his face three times, then his right hand up to the elbow three times, then his left likewise. Then he wiped his head once then he washed his right foot up to the ankle three times, then the left likewise. Then he stood up and said: 'Pass me the vessel.' So I passed the vessel containing the remaining water for his Wudu' to him, and he drank from it standing up. I was surprised and when he noticed that he said: 'Do not be surprised, for I saw your father the Prophet (ﷺ) doing,' referring to his Wudu' and drinking the leftover water while standing."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 1, Hadith 95
`Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "When (my daughter) Hafsa bint `Umar lost her husband Khunais bin
Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and had fought in the battle of
Badr and had died in Medina, I met `Uthman bin `Affan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa
saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint `Umar to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.' I
waited for a few days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.'
Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint `Umar.' He kept quiet and did
not give me any reply and I became more angry with him than I was with `Uthman . Some days later,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met me
and said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no
reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except
that I learnt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose the
secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted her."
