Whenever Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) intended to invoke evil upon somebody or invoke good upon somebody, he
used to invoke (Allah after bowing (in the prayer). Sometimes after saying, "Allah hears him who
sends his praises to Him, all praise is for You, O our Lord," he would say, "O Allah. Save Al-Walid
bin Al-Walid and Salama bin Hisham, and `Aiyash bin Abu Rabi`a. O Allah! Inflict Your Severe
Torture on Mudar (tribe) and strike them with (famine) years like the years of Joseph." The Prophet (ﷺ)
used to say in a loud voice, and he also used to say in some of his Fajr prayers, "O Allah! Curse soand-
so and so-and-so." naming some of the Arab tribes till Allah revealed:--"Not for you (O
Muhammad) (but for Allah) is the decision." (3.128)
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 82
Yahya said that Malik said, "The person who puts up the principal
must not stipulate that he has something of the profit alone without
the agent sharing in it, nor must the agent stipulate that he has
something of the profit alone without the investor sharing. In qirad,
there is no sale, no rent, no work, no advance, and no convenience
which one party specifies to himself without the other party sharing
unless one party allows it to the other unconditionally as a favour
and that is alright to both. Neither of the parties should make a
condition over the other which increases him in gold or silver or food
over the other party."
He said, "If any of that enters the
qirad, it becomes hire, and hire is only good with known and fixed
terms. The agent should not stipulate when he takes the principal that
he repay or commission anyone with the goods, nor that he take any of
them for himself. When there is a profit, and it is time to separate
the capital, then they divide the profit according to the terms of the
contract. If the principal does not increase or there is a loss, the
agent does not have to make up for what he spent on himself or for the
loss. That falls to the investor from the principal. Qirad is
permitted upon whatever terms the investor and the agent make a mutual
agreement, of half the profit, or a third or a fourth or whatever."
Malik said, "It is not permitted for the agent to stipulate
that he use the qirad money for a certain number of years and that it
not be taken from him during that time."
He said, "It is not
good for the investor to stipulate that the qirad money should not be
returned for a certain number of years which are specified, because
the qirad is not for a term. The investor loans it to an agent to use
for him. If it seems proper to either of them to abandon the project
and the money is coin, and nothing has been bought with it, it can be
abandoned, and the investor takes his money back. If it seems proper
to the investor to take the qirad loan back after goods have been
purchased with it, he cannot do so until the buyer has sold the goods
and they have become money. If it seems proper to the agent to return
the loan, and it has been turned to goods he cannot do so until he has
sold them. He returns the loan in cash as he took it."
Malik
said, "It is not good for the investor to stipulate that the agent pay
any zakat due from his portion of the profit in particular, because
the investor by stipulating that, stipulates fixed increase for
himself from the profit because the portion of zakat he would be
liable for by his portion of the profit, is removed from him.
"It is not permitted for the investor to stipulate to the agent to
only buy from so-and-so, referring to a specific man. That is not
permitted because by doing so he would become his hireling for a
wage."
Malik spoke about an investor in qirad who stipulated
a guarantee for an amount of money from the agent, "The investor is
not permitted to stipulate conditions about his principal other than
the conditions on which qirad is based or according to the precedent
of the sunna of the Muslims. If the principal is increased by the
condition of guarantee, the investor has increased his share of the
profit because of the position of the guarantee. But the profit is
only to be divided according to what it would have been had the loan
been given without the guarantee. If the principal is destroyed, I do
not think that the agent has a guarantee held against him because the
stipulation of guarantees in qirad is null and void."
Malik
spoke about an investor who gave qirad money to a man and the man
stipulated that he would only buy palms or animals with it because he
sought to eat the dates or the offspring of the animals and he kept
them for some time to use for himself. He said, "That is not
permitted. It is not the sunna of the Muslims in qirad unless he buys
it and then sells it as other goods are sold."
Malik said,
"There is no harm in the agent stipulating on the investor a slave to
help him provided that the slave stands to gain along with him out of
the investment, and when the slave only helps him with the investment,
not with anything else."
Muwatta Malik Book 32, Hadith 6
That his father was martyred on the day of the battle of Uhud and was in debt and left six (orphan)
daughters. Jabir, added, "When the season of plucking the dates came, I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
said, "You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uhud, and he was heavily in debt, and I
would like that the creditors should see you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and pile every kind of dates
apart." I did so and called him (i.e. the Prophet (ﷺ) ). When the creditors saw him, they started claiming
their debts from me then in such a harsh manner (as they had never done before). So when he saw
their attitude, he went round the biggest heap of dates thrice, and then sat over it and said, 'O Jabir),
call your companions (i.e. the creditors).' Then he kept on measuring (and giving) to the creditors
(their due) till Allah paid all the debt of my father. I would have been satisfied to retain nothing of
those dates for my sisters after Allah had paid the debts of my father. But Allah saved all the heaps (of
dates), so that when I looked at the heap where the Prophet (ﷺ) had been sitting, it seemed as if a single
date had not been taken away thereof."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 99
Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa from his
father that A'isha, umm al-muminin said, "When the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came to Madina, Abu Bakr and
Bilal came down with a fever. I visited them and said, 'Father, how
are you? Bilal, how are you?'" She continued, "When Abu Bakr's fever
worsened he would say, 'Every man is struck down among his people in
the morning - death is nearer than the strap of his sandal.'"
When it left Bilal, he raised his voice and said, 'Would that I knew
whether I will spend a night at the valley of Makka with the idhkhir
herb and jalil herb around me. Will I go one day to the waters of
Majinna? Will the mountains of Shama and Tafil appear to me?' " '
A'isha continued, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and informed him. He said, 'O Allah!
Make us love Madina as much as we love Makka or even more. Make it
sound and bless us in our sa and mudd. Remove its fever and put it in
al-Juhfa.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 45, Hadith 14
A man from Banu Abdullah ibn Ka'b brethren of Banu Qushayr (not Anas ibn Malik, the well-known Companion), said: A contingent from the cavalry of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) raided us. I reached (for he said went) to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) who was taking his meals. He said: Sit down, and take some from this meal of ours. I said: I am fasting, he said: Sit down, I shall tell you about prayer and fasting. Allah has remitted half the prayer to a traveller, and fasting to the traveller, the woman who is suckling an infant and the woman who is pregnant, I swear by Allah, he mentioned both (i.e. suckling and pregnant women) or one of them. I was grieved for not taking the food of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 14, Hadith 96
Yahya related to me from Malik, from Nafi, from Nubayh ibn Wahb,
who was from the tribe of Bani Abd ad-Dar, that Umar ibn Ubaydullah
sent a message to Aban ibn Uthman (who was amir of the hajj at the
time), while both of them were in ihram, saying, "I want to marry Bint
Shayba ibn Jubayr to Talha ibn Umar and I want you to be present."
Aban told him that he should not do that and said, "I heard Uthman ibn
Affan say that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said, 'A man in ihram should not marry, or give in
marriage, or get betrothed.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 72
`Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "When (my daughter) Hafsa bint `Umar lost her husband Khunais bin
Hudhaifa As-Sahrni who was one of the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and had fought in the battle of
Badr and had died in Medina, I met `Uthman bin `Affan and suggested that he should marry Hafsa
saying, "If you wish, I will marry Hafsa bint `Umar to you,' on that, he said, 'I will think it over.' I
waited for a few days and then he said to me. 'I am of the opinion that I shall not marry at present.'
Then I met Abu Bakr and said, 'if you wish, I will marry you, Hafsa bint `Umar.' He kept quiet and did
not give me any reply and I became more angry with him than I was with `Uthman . Some days later,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) demanded her hand in marriage and I married her to him. Later on Abu Bakr met me
and said, "Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered me Hafsa for marriage and I gave no
reply to you?' I said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing prevented me from accepting your offer except
that I learnt that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had referred to the issue of Hafsa and I did not want to disclose the
secret of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , but had he (i.e. the Prophet) given her up I would surely have accepted her."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 64, Hadith 56
When the Prophet (ﷺ) died and Abu Bakr became his successor and some of the Arabs reverted to
disbelief, `Umar said, "O Abu Bakr! How can you fight these people although Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'I
have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,
'and whoever said, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', Allah will save his property and
his life from me, unless (he does something for which he receives legal punishment) justly, and his
account will be with Allah?' "Abu Bakr said, "By Allah! I will fight whoever differentiates between
prayers and Zakat as Zakat is the right to be taken from property (according to Allah's Orders). By
Allah! If they refused to pay me even a kid they used to pay to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I would fight with
them for withholding it." `Umar said, "By Allah: It was nothing, but I noticed that Allah opened Abu
Bakr's chest towards the decision to fight, therefore I realized that his decision was right."
