Whenever `Abdullah bin `Umar was asked about Salat-al-Khauf (i.e. prayer of fear) he said, "The
Imam comes forward with a group of people and leads them in a one rak`a prayer while another group
from them who has not prayed yet, stay between the praying group and the enemy. When those who
are with the Imam have finished their one rak`a, they retreat and take the positions of those who have
not prayed but they will not finish their prayers with Taslim. Those who have not prayed, come
forward to offer a rak`a with the Imam (while the first group covers them from the enemy). Then the
Imam, having offered two rak`at, finishes his prayer. Then each member of the two groups offer the
second rak`a alone after the Imam has finished his prayer. Thus each one of the two groups will have
offered two rak`at. But if the fear is too great, they can pray standing on their feet or riding on their
mounts, facing the Qibla or not." Nafi` added: I do not think that `Abdullah bin `Umar narrated this
except from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (See Hadith No. 451, Vol 5 to know exactly "The Fear Prayer.")
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 58
The Prophet (ﷺ) delivered a sermon and said, "You (people) will be gathered before Allah (on the Day of
Resurrection) bare-footed, naked and uncircumcised." (The Prophet (ﷺ) then recited):-- 'As We began the
first creation We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise We have undertaken and truly We shall do it.' and
added, "The first man who will be dressed on the Day of Resurrection, will be Abraham. Lo! Some
men from my followers will be brought and taken towards the left side, whereupon I will say, 'O Lord,
(these are) my companions!' It will be said, 'You do not know what new things they introduced (into
the religion) after you.' I will then say as the righteous pious slave, Jesus, said, 'I was a witness over
them while I dwelt among them...(to His Statement)..and You are the Witness to all things.' (5.117)
Then it will be said, '(O Muhammad) These people never stopped to apostate since you left them."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 262
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn Shihab about
a man who had a slave-girl as a wife, and then he bought her, and
divorced her once. He said, "She is halal for him by the possession of
the right hand as long as he does not make his divorce irrevocable. If
he irrevocably divorces her, she is not halal for him by the
possession of the right hand until she has married another husband."
Malik said that if a man rnarried a female slave and then she
had a child by him, and then he bought her, she was not an umm walad
for him because of the child born to him while she belonged to
another, until she had had a child by him while she was in his
possession after he had purchased her.
Malik said, "If he
buys her and she is pregnant by him and she then gives birth while she
belongs to him, she is his umm walad by that pregnancy, according to
what we think, and Allah knows best."
Muwatta Malik Book 28, Hadith 34
“One night, when he (ﷺ) exited his Salat, I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: ‘O Allah, I ask You of Your mercy, that You guide by it my heart, and gather by it my affair, and bring together that which has been scattered of my affairs, and correct with it that which is hidden from me, and raise by it that which is apparent from me, and purify by it my actions, and inspire me by it with that which contains my guidance, and protect me by it from that which I seek protection, and protect me by it from every evil. O Allah give me faith and certainty after which there is no disbelief, and mercy, by which I may attain the high level of Your generosity in the world and the Hereafter.

Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 48, Hadith 50
"I went out to At-Tur and met Ka'b. He and I spent a day together, when I narrated things to him from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he narrated things to me from the Tawrah. I said to him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On this day, Adam was created, on this day he was sent down, on it his repentance was accepted, on this day he died, and on this day the Hour will begin. There is no living creature on Earth that does not listen out from Friday morning until the sun rises, fearing the onset of the Hour, except the son of Adam. On (Friday) there is an hour in which, if a believer prays and asks Allah for something, He will give it to him. Ka'b said: Is that one day in every year? I said: No, it is every Friday.' Then Ka'b read in the Tawrah and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spoke the truth; it is every Friday. Then I went out and met Basrah bin Abi Basrah Al-Ghifari. He said: From where have you come? I said: From At-Tur. He said: If I had met you before you went there, you would not have gone. I said to him: Why? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Do not travel especially to visit any masjid except three: Al Masjid Al-Haram (in Makkah), my masjid (in Al-Madinah) and the Masjid of Bait Al-Maqdis (in Jerusalem). Then I met 'Abdullah bin Salam and said: 'If you had only seen me, I went to At-Tur and met Ka'b, and he and I spent the day together, when I narrated things to him from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he narrated things to me from the Tawrah. I said to him: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On this day, Adam was created, on this day he was sent down, on this day his repentance was accepted, on this day he died, and on this day the Hour will begin. There is no living creature on Earth that does not listen out from Friday morning until the sun rises, fearing the onset of the Hour, except the son of Adam. On (Friday) there is an hour in which, if a believer prays and asks Allah for something, He will give it to him. Ka'b said: That is one day in every year. 'Abdullah bin Salam said: Ka'b is not telling the truth. I said: Then Ka'b read (in the Tawrah) and said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) spoke the truth; it is every Friday. 'Abdullah said: Ka'b spoke the truth; I know when that time is. I said: O my brother, tell me about it. He said: It is the last hour of Friday, before the sun sets. I said: Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If a believer prays, but that is not a time for prayer. He said: Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Whoever prays and sits waiting for the (next) prayer, is in a state of prayer until the next prayer comes? I said: Of course. He said: That is what it is."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 14, Hadith 67
The people of Quraish worried about the lady from Bani Makhzum who had committed theft. They
asked, "Who will intercede for her with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" Some said, "No one dare to do so except
Usama bin Zaid the beloved one to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ." When Usama spoke about that to Allah's
Apostle Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, (to him), "Do you try to intercede for somebody in a case connected
with Allah's Prescribed Punishments?" Then he got up and delivered a sermon saying, "What
destroyed the nations preceding you, was that if a noble amongst them stole, they would forgive him,
and if a poor person amongst them stole, they would inflict Allah's Legal punishment on him. By
Allah, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad stole, I would cut off her hand."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 142
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abu'z-Zinad informed him that
a governor of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz took some people in battle and had
not killed any of them. He wanted to cut off their hands or kill them,
so he wrote to Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz about that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz
wrote to him, "Better to take less than that."
Yahya said
that he heard Malik say, "What is done among us about a person who
steals the goods of people which are placed under guard in the
markets, and their owners put them in their containers and store them
together is that if anyone steals any of that from where it is kept,
and its value reaches that for which cutting off the hand is obliged,
his hand must be cut off, whether or not the owner of the goods is
with his goods and whether it is night or day."
Malik said
about some one who stole something for which cutting off the hand was
obliged and then what he stole was found with him and he returned it
to its owner, "His hand is cut off."
Malik said, "If someon
says, 'How can his hand be cut off when the goods have been taken from
him and returned to their owner?', it is because he is in the same
position as the wine drinker when the smell of the wine is found on
his breath and he is not drunk. He is flogged with the hadd.
"The hadd is imposed for drinking wine even if it does not make the
man intoxicated. That is because he drank it to become intoxicated. It
is the same as that with cutting off the hand of the thief for theft
when it is taken from him, even if he has not profited from it and it
was returned to its owner. When he stole it, he stole it to take it
away."
Malik said that if some people came to a house and
robbed it together, and then they left with a sack or box or a board
or basket or the like of that which they carried together, and when
they took it out of its guarded place, they carried it together, and
the price of what they took reached that for which cutting off the
hand was obliged, and that was three dirhams and upwards, each of them
had his hand cut off.
"If each of them takes out something by
himself, whoever of them takes out something whose value reaches three
dirhams and upwards must have his hand cut off. If any of them takes
out something whose value does not reach three dirhams, he does not
have his hand cut off."
Yahya said that Malik said, "What is
done among us is that when a man's house is locked and he is the only
one living in it, cutting off the hand is not obliged against the one
who steals something from it until he takes it out of the house
completely. That is because all of the house is a place of custody. If
someone other than him lives in the house and each of them locks his
door, and it is a place of custody for each of them, whoever steals
anything from the apartments of that house must have his hand cut off
when he leaves the apartment and goes into the main house. He has
removed it from its place of custody to another place and he must have
his hand cut off."
Malik said, "What is done in our community
about a slave who steals from the property of his master is that if he
is not in service and among those trusted in the house and he enters
secretly and steals from his master something that for which cutting
off the hand is obliged, his hand is not cut off. It is like that with
a slave-girl when she steals from her master's property. Her hand is
not cut off."
Malik then spoke about a slave who was not in
service and not one of those trusted in the house, and he entered
secretly and stole from the property of his master's wife that for
which cutting off the hand was obliged. He said, "His hand is cut
off."
"It is like that with the wife's slave-girl when she
does not serve her or her husband nor is she trusted in the house and
she enters secretly and steals from her mistress's property that for
which cutting off the hand is obliged. Her hand is not cut off."
"It is like that with the wife's slave-girl who is not in her
service and is not trusted in the house and she enters secretly and
steals from the property of her mistress's husband something for which
cutting off the hand is obliged. Her hand is cut off."
It is
like that with the man who steals from his wife's goods or the wife
who steals from her husband's goods something for which cutting off
the hand is obliged. If the thing which one of them steals from his
spouse's property is in a room other than the room which they both
lock for themselves, or it is in a place of custody in a room other
than the room which they are in, whichever of them steals something
for which cutting off the hand is obliged, their hand should be cut
off."
Malik spoke about a small child and a foreigner who
does not speak clearly. He said, "If they are robbed of something from
its place of custody or from under a lock, the one who stole it has
his hand cut off. If the property is outside of its place of custody
or locked room(when it is stolen), the one who robbed them does not
have his hand cut off. It is then in the position of sheep stolen from
the mountain and uncut fruit hanging on the trees "
Malik
said, "What is done among us about a person who robs graves is that if
what he takes from the grave reaches what cutting off the hand is
obliged for, his hand is cut off . That is because the grave is a
place of custody for what is in it just as houses are a place of
custody for what is in them. "
Malik added, "Cutting off the
hand is not obliged for him until he takes it out of the grave."
Muwatta Malik Book 41, Hadith 33
from Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "During the night, my Lord, Blessed is He, and Most High, came to me in the best of appearances." He (one of the narrators) said - I think he said it was during a dream - "So he said: 'O Muhammad! Do you know in what the most exalted group busy themselves with?'" He said: "I said: 'No.'" He said: "So He placed His Hand between my shoulders, until I sensed its coolness between my breast." - or he said: "on my throat, so I knew what was in the heavens, and what was in the earth. He said: 'O Muhammad! Do you know in what the most exalted group busy themselves with?' I said: 'Yes, in the acts that atone: and the acts that atone are; lingering in the Masjid after the Salat, walking on the feet to the congregation, Isbagh Al-Wudu, in difficulty, and whoever does that, he lives in goodness and dies upon goodness, and his wrongs shall be like that of the day his mother bore him.' He said: 'O Muhammad! When you have performed Salat then say: 'O Allah! Indeed I ask of You, the doing of good deeds, avoiding the evil deeds, and loving the poor. And when you have willed Fitnah for your slave, then take me to You, without making me suffer from Fitnah.'" He said: "And the acts that raise ranks are spreading the Salam, feeding others, and Salat during the night, while the people are sleeping."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 47, Hadith 285
An Arab lady was mentioned to the Prophet (ﷺ) so he asked Abu Usaid As-Sa`idi to send for her, and he
sent for her and she came and stayed in the castle of Bani Sa`ida. The Prophet (ﷺ) came out and went to
her and entered upon her. Behold, it was a lady sitting with a drooping head. When the Prophet (ﷺ) spoke
to her, she said, "I seek refuge with Allah from you." He said, "I grant you refuge from me." They said
to her, "Do you know who this is?" She said, "No." They said, "This is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who has come
to command your hand in marriage." She said, "I am very unlucky to lose this chance." Then the
Prophet and his companions went towards the shed of Bani Sa`ida and sat there. Then he said, "Give
us water, O Sahl!" So I took out this drinking bowl and gave them water in it. The sub-narrator added:
Sahl took out for us that very drinking bowl and we all drank from it. Later on `Umar bin `Abdul
`Aziz requested Sahl to give it to him as a present, and he gave it to him as a present.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 74, Hadith 63
‘Awf bin malik Al Ashja’I said “I went out with Zaid bin Harith in the battle of Mutah. For the reinforcement of the Muslim army a man from the people of Yemen accompanied me. He had only his sword with him. A man from the Muslims slaughtered a Camel. The man for the reinforcement asked him for a part of its skin which he gave him. He made it like the shape of a shield. We went on and met the Byzantine armies. There was a man among them on a reddish horse with a golden saddle and golden weapons. This Byzantinian soldiers began to attack the Muslims desperately. The man for reinforcement sat behind a rock for (attacking) him. He hamstrung his horse and overpowered him and then killed him. He took his horse and weapons. When Allah, Most High, bestowed victory on the Muslims. Khalid bin Al Walid sent for him and took his spoils. ‘Awf said “I came to him and said “Khalid, do you know that the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) had decided to give spoils to the killer? He said “Yes, I thought it abundant. I said “You should return it to him, or I shall tell you about it before the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ). But he refused to return it. ‘Awf said “We then assembled with the Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ). I told him the story of the man of reinforcement and what Khalid had done. The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) said “Khalid, what made you do the work you have done?” He said “Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ), I considered it to be abundant. The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) said “Khalid, return it to him what you have taken from him.” ‘Awf said “I said to him “here you are, Khalid. Did I not keep my word? The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) said “What is that? I then informed him.” He said “The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) became angry and said “Khalid, do not return it to him. Are you going to leave my commanders? You may take from them what is best for you and eave to them what is worst.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 15, Hadith 243
(who was an ally of Bam `Amr bin Lu'ai and one of those who had taken part in (the Ghazwa of)
Badr): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarreh to Bahrain to collect the Jizya. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
had established peace with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al-`Ala' bin Al-Hadrami as their
governor. When Abu 'Ubaida came from Bahrain with the money, the Ansar heard of Abu 'Ubaida's
arrival which coincided with the time of the morning prayer with the Prophet. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
led them in the morning prayer and finished, the Ansar approached him, and he looked at them and
smiled on seeing them and said, "I feel that you have heard that Abu. 'Ubaida has brought
something?" They said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)' He said, "Rejoice and hope for what will please you!
By Allah, I am not afraid of your poverty but I am afraid that you will lead a life of luxury as past
nations did, whereupon you will compete with each other for it, as they competed for it, and it will
destroy you as it destroyed them."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 58, Hadith 2
Malik related to me from Safiyy, the mawla of Ibn Aflah that
Abu's-Saib, the mawla of Hisham ibn Zuhra said, "I went to Abu Said
al-Khudri and found him praying. I sat to wait for him until he
finished the prayer. I heard a movement under a bed in his room, and
it was a snake. I stood up to kill it, and Abu Said gestured to me to
sit. When he was finished he pointed to a room in the house and said,
'Do you see this room?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'There was a young boy
in it who had just got married. He went out with the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to al-Khandaq, (the
ditch which the muslims dug in the 5th year of the Hijra to defend
Madina against the Quraysh and their allies).
When he was
there, the youth came and asked his permission, saying, "Messenger of
Allah. Give me permission to return to my family." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave him permission
and said, "Take your weapons with you, for I fear the Banu Quraydha
tribe. They may harm you." The youth went to his family and found his
wife standing between the two doors. He lifted his spear to stab her
as jealousy had been aroused in him. She said, "Don't be hasty until
you go in and see what is in your house." He entered and found a snake
coiled up on his bed. He transfixed it with his spear and then went
out with it and pitched it into the house. The snake stirred on the
end of the spear and the youth fell dead. No one knew which of them
died first, the snake or the youth. That was mentioned to the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he
said, "There are jinn in Madina who have become muslim. When you see
one of them, call out to it for three days. If it appears after that,
then kill it, for it is a shaytan." "'
Muwatta Malik Book 54, Hadith 33
