Yahya related to me from Malik that Zayd ibn Aslam said, "The
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, stopped
for a rest one night on the way to Makka and appointed Bilal to wake
them up for the prayer. Bilal slept and everyone else slept and none
of them woke up until the sun had risen. When they did wake up they
were all alarmed. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, ordered them to ride out of the valley, saying that
there was a shaytan in it. So they rode out of the valley and the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered
them to dismount and do wudu and he told Bilal either to call the
prayer or to give the iqama. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, then led them in the prayer. Noticing their
uneasiness, he went to them and said, 'O people! Allah seized our
spirits (arwah) and if He had wished He would have returned them to us
at a time other than this. So if you sleep through the time for a
prayer or forget it and then are anxious about it, pray it as if you
were praying it in its time.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, turned to Abu Bakr and said, 'Shaytan came to
Bilal when he was standing in prayer and made him lie down and lulled
him to sleep like a small boy.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, then called Bilal and told him the same
as he had told Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr declared, 'I bear witness that you
are the Messenger of Allah.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 1, Hadith 26
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said heard Muhammad
ibn Yahya ibn Habban mentioning that a certain man passed Abu Dharr at
ar-Rabadha (which was about 30 miles from Madina) and Abu Dharr asked
him, "Where are you heading to?" and he replied, "I am intending to do
hajj." Abu Dharr questioned, "Has anything else brought you out?" and
he said, "No," so Abu Dharr said "Resume what you are doing
wholeheartedly."
The man related, "I went on till I came to
Makka and I stayed as long as Allah willed. Suddenly, one time, I was
with a crowd of people thronging about a man and I pushed through the
people to him and it was the old man that I had come across at ar-
Rabadha. When he saw me, he recognized me and said, 'Ah, you have done
what I told you.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 264
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that when Abdullah ibn
Umar set out for Makka during the troubles (between al-Hajjaj ibn
Yusuf and Zubair ibn al-Awwam) he said, "If I am blocked from going to
the House we shall do what we did when we were with the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace," and he went into
ihram for umra, because that was what the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, did in the year of al-Hudaybiya.
But afterwards, he reconsidered his position and said, "It is
the same either way." After that he turned to his companions and said,
"It is the same either way. I call you to witness that I have decided
in favour of hajj and umra together."
He then got through to
the House (without being stopped) and did one set of tawaf, which he
considered to be enough for himself, and sacrificed an animal.
Malik said, "This is what we go by if someone is hindered by an
enemy, as the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
his companions were. If some one is hindered by anything other than an
enemy, he is only freed from ihram by tawaf of the House. "
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 102
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Abd al-Hamid
ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Zayd ibn al-Khattab from Abdullah ibn Abdullah
ibn al-Harith ibn Nawfal from Abdullah ibn Abbas that Umar ibn al-
Khattab set out for ash Sham and when he was at Sargh, near Tabuk, the
commanders of the army, Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah and his companions,
met him and told him that the plague had broken out in ash-Sham. Ibn
Abbas said, "Umar ibn al-Khattab said, 'all the first Muhajir unto
me.' He assembled them and asked them for advice, informing them that
the plague had broken out in ash Sham. They disagreed. Some said, 'You
have set out for something, and we do not think that you should leave
it.' Others said, 'You have the companions of the Prophet, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and the rest of the people with you,
and we do not think that you should send them towards this plague.'
Umar said, 'Leave me.'
Then he said, 'Summon the Ansar to
me.' They were summoned and he asked them for advice. They acted as
the Muhajirun had and disagreed as they had disagreed. He said, 'Leave
me.' "Then he said, 'Summon to me whoever is here of the aged men of
Quraysh from the Muhajirun of the conquest.' He summoned them and not
one of them differed. They said, 'We think that you should withdraw
the people and not send them towards the plague.' Umar called out to
the people, 'I am leaving by camel in the morning,' so they set out.
Abu Ubayda said, 'Is it flight from the decree of Allah?' Umar said,
'Better that someone other than you had said it, Abu Ubayda. Yes. We
flee from the decree of Allah to the decree of Allah. What would you
think if these camels had gone down into a valley which had two
slopes, one of them fertile, and the other barren. If you pastured in
the fertile part, wouldn't you pasture them by the decree of Allah? If
you pastured them in the barren part, wouldn't you pasture them by the
decree of Allah?'
''Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf arrived and he had
been off doing something and he said, 'I have some knowledge of this.
I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, "If you hear about it in a land, do not go forward to it.
If it comes upon a land and you are in it, then do not depart in
flight from it." ' Umar praised Allah and then set off."
Muwatta Malik Book 45, Hadith 21
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "There was an eclipse of the sun in the time of
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, led
the people in prayer. He stood, and did so for a long time. Then he
went into ruku, and made the ruku long. Then he stood again, and did
so for a long time, though not as long as the first time. Then he went
into ruku, and made the ruku long, though not as long as thefirst
time. Then he rose, and went down into sajda. He then did the same in
the second raka, and by the time he had finished the sun had appeared.
He then gave a khutba to the people, in which he praised Allah and
then said, 'The sun and the moon are two of Allah's signs. They do not
eclipse for anyone's death nor for anyone's life. When you see an
eclipse, call on Allah and say, "Allah is greater" and give sadaqa.'
Then he said, 'O community of Muhammad! ByAllah, there is no-one more
jealous than Allah of a male or female slave of his who commits
adultery. O community of Muhammad! By Allah, if you knew what I knew,
you would laugh little and weep much'."
Muwatta Malik Book 12, Hadith 1
Send with us some men who may teach us the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Accordingjy, he sent seventy men from the Ansar. They were called the Reciters and among them was my maternal uncle. Haram. They used to recite the Qur'an, discuss and ponder over its meaning at night. In the day they brought water and poured it (in pitchers) in the mosque, collected wood and sold it, and with the sale proceeds bought food for the people of the Suffa and the needy. The Prophet (ﷺ) sent the Reciters with these people, but these (treacherous people) fell upon them and killed thern before they reached their destination (While dying), they said: O Allah, convey from us the news to our Prophet that we have met Thee (in a way) that we are pleased with Thee and Thou art pleased with us. (The narrator said): A man attacked Haram (maternal uncle of Anas) ) from behind and smote him with a spear which pierced him. (While dying), Haram said: By the Lord of the Ka'ba, I have met with success. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to his Companions: Your brethren have been slain grid they were saying: O Allah, convey from us to our Prophet the news that we have met Thee in a way that we are pleased with Thee and Thou art pleased with us.
Sahih Muslim Book 33, Hadith 212
Fatimah came to the Prophet (ﷺ), asking him for a servant. So he (ﷺ) said to her: “Say: ‘O Allah, Lord of the Seven Heavens and the Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord, and the Lord of everything, Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil, and the Quran, Splitter of the seed-grain and the date-stone, I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything that You are holding by the forelock, You are the First, for there is nothing above You, and You are the Last, for there is nothing after you. And you are az-Zahir, for there is nothing above you. And you are Al-Batin, for there is nothing below You. Relieve me from debt, and enrich me from poverty (Allāhumma rabbas samāwātis-sab`i wa rabbal-`arshil-`aẓīm, rabbana, wa rabba kulli shai’in, munzilat-Tawrāti wal-Injīli wal-Qur’ān, fāliqal-habbi wan-nawā, a`ūdhu bika min sharri kulli shai’in anta ākhidhun bināṣiyatihi, antal-awwalu falaisa qablaka shai’un, wa antal-ākhiru falaisa ba`daka shai’un, wa antaẓ-ẓāhiru falaisa fawqaka shai’un, wa antal-bāṭinu falaisa dūnaka shai’un, iqḍi `anni-daina wa aghnini minal-faqr).”
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 48, Hadith 112
That once he stayed overnight in the house of his aunt, the wife of the Prophet. He added: I lay on the
cushion transversely while Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) lay along with his wife in the lengthwise direction of
cushion. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) slept till the middle of the night, either a bit before or a bit after it, and then
woke up rubbing the traces of sleep off his face with his hands, and then recited the last ten Verses of
Suratal-`Imran. Then he got up and went to a hanging water skin, performed ablution from it ---- and
performed it perfectly. Then he stood up to perform the prayer. I also did the same as he had done and
then went to stand beside him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) put his right hand on my head and held and twisted my
right ear. He then offered two rak`at, then two rak`at then two rak`at, then two then two rak`at, then
two rak`at, and finally, one rak`a witr. Then lay down again till the Muadhdhin (i.e. the call-maker)
came to him, whereupon he got up and offered a light two rak`at prayer and went out (to the Mosque)
and offered the (compulsory congregational) Fajr prayer.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 94
Who had taken part in the battle of Badr with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and had been amongst his companions
on the night of Al-`Aqaba Pledge: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), surrounded by a group of his companions said,
"Come along and give me the pledge of allegiance that you will not worship anything besides Allah,
will not steal, will not commit illegal sexual intercourse will not kill your children, will not utter;
slander, invented by yourself, and will not disobey me if I order you to do something good. Whoever
among you will respect and fulfill this pledge, will be rewarded by Allah. And if one of you commits
any of these sins and is punished in this world then that will be his expiation for it, and if one of you
commits any of these sins and Allah screens his sin, then his matter, will rest with Allah: If He will,
He will punish him and if He will,. He will excuse him." So I gave the pledge of allegiance to him for
these conditions.
