`Abdullah the slave of Asma bint Abu Bakr, told me that he used to hear Asma', whenever she passed
by Al-Hajun, saying, "May Allah bless His Apostle Muhammad. Once we dismounted here with him,
and at that time we were traveling with light luggage; we had a few riding animals and a little food
ration. I, my sister, `Aisha, Az-Zubair and such and such persons performed `Umra, and when we had
passed our hands over the Ka`ba (i.e. performed Tawaf round the Ka`ba and between As-Safa and Al-
Marwa) we finished our lhram. Later on we assumed Ihram for Hajj the same evening."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 26, Hadith 21
If it strikes (the game) with its point, then eat, but if it strikes flatly and it dies, that is Waqidh (beaten into death), do not eat that. I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about (hunting with the help of) dogs, whereupon he said. When you send your dog (for hunting) reciting the name of Allah, then eat (the game), but if some part of it is eaten (by the dogs, then do not eat that, for it (your dog) has caught that (the-game) for itself. I (again) said: If I find along with my dog another dog, and do not know which of (the dogs) has caught (the game). then (what should I do)? Thereupon he ('Allah's Messenger) said: Then don't eat that, for you recited the name of Allah on your dog and not on the other one.
Sahih Muslim Book 34, Hadith 3
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Umar ibn
Abd al-Aziz during his khalifate, wrote to one of his governors,
"Whatever a father, or guardian, who gives someone in marriage, makes
a condition in the way of unreturnable gift or of favour, belongs to
the woman if she wants it."
Malik spoke about a woman whose
father gave her in marriage and made an unreturnable gift a condition
of the bride-price which was to be given. He said, "Whatever is given
as a condition by which marriage occurs belongs to the woman if she
wants it. If the husband parts from her before the marriage is
consummated, the husband has half of the unreturnable gift by which
the marriage occurred."
Malik said about a man who married
off his young son and the son had no wealth at all, that the bride-
price was obliged of the father if the young man had no property on
the day of marriage. If the young man did have property the bride-
price was taken from his property unless the father stipulated that he
would pay the bride-price. The marriage was affirmed for the son if he
was a minor only if he was under the guardianship of his father.
Malik said that if a man divorced his wife before he had
consummated the marriage and she was a virgin, her father returned
half of the bride-price to him. That half was permitted to the husband
from the father to compensate him for his expenses.
Malik
said that that was because Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, said in
His Book, "Unless they (women with whom he had not consummated
marriage) make remission or he makes remission to him in whose hand is
the knot of marriage." (Sura 2 ayat 237). (He being the father of a
virgin daughter or the master of a female slave.)
Malik said,
"That is what I have heard about the matter, and that is how things
are done among us."
Malik said that a jewish or christian
woman who was married to a jew or christian and then became muslim
before the marriage had been consummated, did not keep anything from
the bride-price.
Malik said, "I do not think that women
should be married for less than a quarter of a dinar. That is the
lowest amount for which cutting off the hand is obliged ."
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 11
There was a dispute amongst the people of the tribe of Bani `Amr bin `Auf. The Prophet (ﷺ) went to them
along with some of his companions in order to make peace between them. The time for the prayer
became due but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not turn up; Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e. call) for the prayer but
the Prophet (ﷺ) did not turn up, so Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said, "The time for the prayer is due and
the Prophet (ﷺ) i detained, would you lead the people in the prayer?" Abu Bakr replied, "Yes, you wish."
So, Bilal pronounced the Iqama of the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead (to lead the prayer), but the
Prophet came walking among the rows till he joined the first row. The people started clapping and
they clapped too much, and Abu Bakr used not to look hither and thither in the prayer, but he turned
round and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) standing behind him. The Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned him with his hand to keep on
praying where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hand and praised Allah and then retreated till he came in
the (first) row, and the Prophet (ﷺ) went ahead and lead the people in the prayer. When the Prophet (ﷺ)
finished the prayer, he turned towards the people and said, "O people! When something happens to
you during the prayer, you start clapping. Really clapping is (permissible) for women only. If
something happens to one of you in his prayer, he should say: 'Subhan Allah', (Glorified be Allah), for
whoever hears him (saying so) will direct his attention towards him. O Abu Bakr! What prevented you
from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned to you (to continue)?" Abu Bakr replied, "It
did not befit the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front of the Prophet.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 53, Hadith 1
Malik related to me from Yazid ibn Khusayfa that as-Sa'ib ibn
Yazid informed him that he heard Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr who was from
the Azd Shanua tribe and among the companions of the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, speaking with some
people who were with him at the door of the mosque. He said, "I heard
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say,
'If anyone acquires a dog which he does not use as a sheepdog or for
hunting, a qirat will be deducted from the reward of his good deeds
each day.' " He was asked, "Did you hear this from the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?" He said, "Yes, by the
Lord of this mosque."
Muwatta Malik Book 54, Hadith 12
Shariq al-Hawzani and I came to Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) and asked her: By which (prayer) the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) began when he woke up at night? She replied: You asked me about a thing which no one asked me before. When he woke up at night, he uttered: "Allah is Most Great" ten times, and uttered "Praise be to Allah" ten times, and said "Glory be to Allah and I begin with His praise" ten times, and said: "Glory be to the King, the Most Holy" ten times, and asked Allah's pardon ten times, and said: "There is no god but Allah" ten times, and then said: "O Allah! I seek refuge in Thee from the strait of the Day of resurrection," ten times. He then began the prayer.
