`Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "When Hafsa bint `Umar became a widow after the death of (her husband)
Khunais bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi who had been one of the companions of the Prophet, and he died at
Medina. I went to `Uthman bin `Affan and presented Hafsa (for marriage) to him. He said, "I will
think it over.' I waited for a few days, then he met me and said, 'It seems that it is not possible for me
to marry at present.' " `Umar further said, "I met Abu Bakr As-Siddique and said to him, 'If you wish,
I will marry my daughter Hafsa to you." Abu Bakr kept quiet and did not say anything to me in reply.
I became more angry with him than with `Uthman. I waited for a few days and then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
asked for her hand, and I gave her in marriage to him. Afterwards I met Abu Bakr who said, 'Perhaps
you became angry with me when you presented Hafsa to me and I did not give you a reply?' I said,
'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing stopped me to respond to your offer except that I knew that Allah's
Apostle had mentioned her, and I never wanted to let out the secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). And if Allah's
Apostle had refused her, I would have accepted her.' "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 67, Hadith 58
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had asked Ibn Shihab about
the word of Allah, the Majestic, the Mighty, "O you who accept, when
the call is made for the prayer on the day of jumua, make haste to the
remembrance of Allah."(Sura 62 ayat 9). Ibn Shihab said, ''Umar ibn
al-Khattab used to recite, 'When the call is made for the prayer on
the day of jumua, go to the remembrance of Allah.' "
Malik
said, "Making haste in the Book of Allah is only deed and action.
Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, says 'and when he turns away, he acts
in the land' (Sura 2 ayat 205), and He, the Exalted, said, 'and as for
the one who comes to you acting with fear' (Sura 80 ayat 8), and He
said, 'then he turned his back, and acted' (Sura 79 ayat 22),and He
said, 'Your deeds are diverse' " (Sura 92 ayat 4). Malik said, "Thus
making haste which Allah mentions in His Book is not running on the
feet or exertion. It only means deed and actions."
Muwatta Malik Book 5, Hadith 14
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and the pagans faced each other and started fighting. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) returned to
his camp and when the pagans returned to their camp, somebody talked about a man amongst the
companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who would follow and kill with his sword any pagan going alone. He
said, "Nobody did his job (i.e. fighting) so properly today as that man." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Indeed,
he is amongst the people of the (Hell) Fire." A man amongst the people said, "I shall accompany him
(to watch what he does)" Thus he accompanied him, and wherever he stood, he would stand with him,
and wherever he ran, he would run with him.
Then the (brave) man got wounded seriously and he decided to bring about his death quickly. He
planted the blade of the sword in the ground directing its sharp end towards his chest between his two
breasts. Then he leaned on the sword and killed himself. The other man came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
said, "I testify that you are Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "What has happened?" He replied,
"(It is about) the man whom you had described as one of the people of the (Hell) Fire. The people
were greatly surprised at what you said, and I said, 'I will find out his reality for you.' So, I came out
seeking him. He got severely wounded, and hastened to die by slanting the blade of his sword in the
ground directing its sharp end towards his chest between his two breasts. Then he eased on his sword
and killed himself." when Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A man may seem to the people as if he were
practising the deeds of the people of Paradise while in fact he is from the people of the Hell) Fire,
another may seem to the people as if he were practicing the deeds of the people of Hell (Fire), while in
fact he is from the people of Paradise."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 112
When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became seriously ill, Bilal came to him for the prayer. He said, "Tell Abu Bakr
to lead the people in the prayer." I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Abu Bakr is a softhearted man and if he
stands in your place, he would not be able to make the people hear him. Will you order `Umar (to lead
the prayer)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer." Then I said to Hafsa,
"Tell him, Abu i Bakr is a softhearted man and if he stands in his place, he would not be able to make
the people hear him. Would you order `Umar to lead the prayer?' " Hafsa did so. The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
"Verily you are the companions of Joseph. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in the prayer." So Abu-
Bakr stood for the prayer. In the meantime Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) felt better and came out with the help of
two persons and both of his legs were dragging on the ground till he entered the mosque. When Abu
Bakr heard him coming, he tried to retreat but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) beckoned him to carry on. The Prophet (ﷺ)
sat on his left side. Abu Bakr was praying while standing and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was leading the prayer
while sitting. Abu Bakr was following the Prophet (ﷺ) and the people were following Abu Bakr (in the
prayer).
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 10, Hadith 108
`Ali bin Abi Talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore, in a tanned leather container to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) distributed that amongst four Persons: 'Uyaina bin Badr, Aqra bin
H`Abis, Zaid Al-Khail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir bin at-Tufail. On that, one of his
companions said, "We are more deserving of this (gold) than these (persons)." When that news
reached the Prophet (ﷺ) , he said, "Don't you trust me though I am the truth worthy man of the One in the
Heavens, and I receive the news of Heaven (i.e. Divine Inspiration) both in the morning and in the
evening?" There got up a man with sunken eyes, raised cheek bones, raised forehead, a thick beard, a
shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Be afraid of Allah."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear
Allah?" Then that man went away. Khalid bin Al-Wahd said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I chop his
neck off?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, for he may offer prayers." Khalid said, "Numerous are those who
offer prayers and say by their tongues (i.e. mouths) what is not in their hearts." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I
have not been ordered (by Allah) to search the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies." Then the
Prophet looked at him (i.e. that man) while the latter was going away and said, "From the offspring of
this (man there will come out (people) who will recite the Qur'an continuously and elegantly but it
will not exceed their throats. (They will neither understand it nor act upon it). They would go out of
the religion (i.e. Islam) as an arrow goes through a game's body." I think he also said, "If I should be
present at their time I would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 378
Yahya related to me from Abd ar-Rahman ibn al-Qasim, from his
father that A'isha, umm al-muminin, said, "We set out with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the
year of the farewell hajj and we went into ihram for umra. Afterwards,
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
'Whoever has a sacrificial animal with him should go into ihram for
hajj and umra together, and he should not leave ihram without leaving
ihram for both of them at the same time.' "
She continued "I
was menstruating when I got to Makka, so I did not do tawaf of the
House or say between Safa and Marwa. I complained to the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said, 'Undo
your hair and comb it and leave the umra and go back into ihram for
the hajj.' "
She said, "I did so, and when we had completed
the hajj, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, sent me with Abd ar-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr as-Siddiq to at-Tanim
and I performed an umra and he said, 'This is in place of your umra.'
"
"Those who had entered ihram for the umra did tawaf of the
House and say between Safa and Marwa, then left ihram. Then they did
another tawaf after returning from Mina for their hajj, whereas those
who entered ihram for the hajj or combined the hajj and the umra, only
did one tawaf."
Yahya related the same as that to me from
Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-Zubayr from A'isha.
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 235
An imam of ours, whose kunyah (surname) was AbuRimthah, led us in prayer and said: I prayed this prayer, or one like it, with the Prophet (ﷺ). AbuBakr and Umar were standing in the front row on his right and there was a man who had been present at the first takbir in the prayer. The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) offered the prayer, then gave the salutation to his right and his left so that we saw the whiteness of his cheeks, then turned away as AbuRimthah (meaning himself) had done.
The man who has been present with him at the first takbir in the prayer then got up to pray another prayer, whereupon Umar leaped up and, seizing him by the shoulders, shook him and said: Sit down, for the People of the Book perished for no other reason than that there was no interval between their prayers.
The Prophet (ﷺ) raised his eyes and said: Allah has made you say what is right, son of al-Khattab.
Abu Dawud said: Sometimes the name of Abu Umayyah is narrated instead of Abu Rimthah.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 2, Hadith 618
Yahya related to me from Malik from Abd ar-Rahman ibn Said from
Amr ibn Shuayb that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, came back from Hunayn heading for al-Jiirrana,
the people crowded around so much to question him that his she-camel
backed into a tree, which became entangled in his cloak and pulled it
off his back. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, "Return my cloak to me. Are you afraid that I will
not distribute among you what Allah has given you as spoils. By He in
whose hand my self is! Had Allah given you spoils equal to the number
of acacia trees on the plain of Tihama, I would have distributed it
among you. You will not find me to be miserly, cowardly, or a liar."
Then the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
got down and stood among the people, and said, "Hand over even the
needle and thread, for stealing from the spoils is disgrace, fire,
ignominy on the Day of Rising for people who do it." Then he took a
bit of camel fluff or something from the ground and said, "By He in
whose hand my self is! What Allah has made spoils for you is not mine
- even the like of this! - except for the tax of one fifth, and the
tax of one fifth is returned to you."
Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 24
I was in the Sikkat al-Mirbad. A bier passed and a large number of people were accompanying it.
They said: Bier of Abdullah ibn Umayr. So I followed it. Suddenly I saw a man, who had a thin garment on riding his small mule. He had a piece of cloth on his head to protect himself from the sun. I asked: Who is this important man? People said: This is Anas ibn Malik.
When the bier was placed, Anas stood and led the funeral prayer over him while I was just behind him, and there was no obstruction between me and him. He stood near his head, and uttered four takbirs (Allah is Most Great). He neither lengthened the prayer nor hurried it. He then went to sit down. They said: AbuHamzah, (here is the bier of) an Ansari woman. They brought her near him and there was a green cupola-shaped structure over her bier. He stood opposite her hips and led the funeral prayer over her as he had led it over the man. He then sat down.
Al-Ala' ibn Ziyad asked: AbuHamzah, did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say the funeral prayer over the dead as you have done, uttering four takbirs (Allah is Most Great) over her, and standing opposite the head of a man and the hips of a woman?
He replied: Yes. He asked: AbuHamzah, did you fight with the Messenger of Allah? He replied: Yes. I fought with him in the battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came out and invaded us so severely that we saw our horses behind our backs. Among the people (i.e. the unbelievers) there was a man who was attacking us, and striking and wounding us (with his sword). Allah then defeated them. They were then brought and began to take the oath of allegiance to him for Islam.
A man from among the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said: I make a vow to myself that if Allah brings the man who was striking us (with his sword) that day, I shall behead him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) kept silent and the man was brought (as a captive).
When he saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he said: Messenger of Allah, I have repented to Allah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stopped (for a while) receiving his oath of allegiance, so that the other man might fulfil his vow. But the man began to wait for the order of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for his murder. He was afraid of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to kill him. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw that he did not do anything, he received his oath of allegiance. The man said: Messenger of Allah, what about my vow? He said: I stopped (receiving his oath of allegiance) today so that you might fulfil your vow. He said: Messenger of Allah, why did you not give any signal to me? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: It is not worthy of a Prophet to give a signal.
AbuGhalib said: I asked (the people) about Anas standing opposite the hips of a woman. They told me that this practice was due to the fact that (in the days of the Prophet) there were no cupola-shaped structures over the biers of women. So the imam used to stand opposite the hips of a woman to hide her from the people.
Abu Dawud said: The saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) "I have been commanded to fight against the people until they say: There is no god bu Allah" abrogated this tradition of fulfilling the vow by his remark: "I have repented".
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 21, Hadith 106
Malik related to me that he had asked Ibn Shihab about a slave
who was released. He said, "He gives his wala' to whomever he likes.
If he dies and has not given his wala' to anyone, his inheritance goes
to the muslims and his blood-money is paid by them."
Malik
said, "The best of what has been heard about a slave who is released
is that no one gets his wala', and his inheritance goes to the
muslims, and they pay his blood-money."
Malik said that when
the slave of a jew or christian became muslim and he was freed before
being sold, the wala' of the freed slave went to the muslims. If the
jew or christian became muslim afterwards, the wala' did not revert to
him. "
He said, "However, if a jew or christian frees a slave
from their own deen, and then the freed one becomes muslim before the
jew or christian who freed him becomes muslim and then the one who
freed him has become muslim, his wala' reverts to him because the
wala' was confirmed for him on the day he freed him."
Malik
said that the muslim child of a jew or christian inherited the mawali
of his jewish or christian father when the freed mawla became muslim
before the one who freed him became muslim. If the freed one was
already muslim when he was freed, the muslim children of the christian
or jew had nothing of the wala' of a muslim slave because the jew and
the christian did not have the wala'. The wala' of a muslim slave went
to the community of muslims.
Muwatta Malik Book 38, Hadith 28
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah ibn Umar
used to pray dhuhr, asr, maghrib, isha and subh at Mina. Then in the
morning, after the sun had risen, he would go to Arafa .
Malik said, "What we are all agreed upon here (in Madina) is that the
imam does not recite the Qur'an out loud in dhuhr on the day of Arafa,
and that he gives a khutba to the people on that day, and that the
prayer on the day of Arafa is really a dhuhr prayer, and even if it
coincides with a jumua it is still a dhuhr prayer, but one which has
been shortened because of travelling."
Malik said that the
imam of the pilgrims should not pray the jumua prayer if the day of
Arafa, the day of sacrifice or one of the three days after the day of
sacrifice, was a Friday.
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 207
