Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha from Humayda bint Abi Ubayda ibn Farwa that her maternal aunt
Kabsha bint Kab ibn Malik, who was the wife of the son of Abu Qatada
al-Ansari, told her that once Abu Qatada was visiting her and she
poured out some water for him to do wudu with. Just then a cat came to
drink from it, so he tilted the vessel towards it to let it drink.
Kabsha continued, "He saw me looking at him and said, 'Are you
surprised, daughter of my brother?' I said, 'Yes.' He replied that the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
cats are not impure. They intermingle with you .' "
Yahya
said that Malik said, "There is no harm in that unless one sees
impurities on the cat's mouth."
Muwatta Malik Book 2, Hadith 12
"I came to the Prophet and said: 'O Prophet of Allah, teach me words by means of which I may seek refuge with Allah.' He took me by the hand and said: 'Say: A'udhu bika min sharri sam'i, wa sharri basari, wa sharri lisani, wa sharri qalbi, wa sharri mani (I seek refuge with You from the evil of my hearing, the evil of my seeing, the evil of my tongue, the evil of my heart, and the evil of my sperm).'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 50, Hadith 17
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Sulayman ibn
Yasar that the people of Syria said to Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah, "Take
zakat from our horses and slaves," and he refused. Then he wrote to
Umar ibn al-Khattab and he (also) refused. Again they talked to him
and again he wrote to Umar, and Umar wrote back to him saying, "If
they want, take it from them and (then) give it back to them and give
their slaves provision."
Malik said, "What he means, may
Allah have mercy upon him, by the words 'and give it back to them' is,
'to their poor.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 17, Hadith 42
When Al-Mundhir bin Abu Usaid was born, he was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) who placed him on his
thigh. While Abu Usaid was sitting there, the Prophet (ﷺ) was busy with something in his hands so Abu
Usaid told someone to take his son from the thigh of the Prophet (ﷺ) . When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished his job
(with which he was busy), he said, "Where is the boy?" Abu Usaid replied, "We have sent him home."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "What is his name?" Abu Usaid said, "(His name is) so-and-so. " The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"No, his name is Al-Mundhir." So he called him Al-Mundhir from that day.
