I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) delivering a sermon, and he said (on the Day of `Id-Allah. a), "The first thing we
will do on this day of ours is that we will offer the `Id prayer, then we will return and slaughter our
sacrifices; and whoever does so, then indeed he has followed our tradition, and whoever slaughtered
his sacrifice (before the prayer), what he offered was just meat that he presented to his family, and that
was not a sacrifice." Abu Burda got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I slaughtered the sacrifice before
the prayer and I have got a Jadha'a which is better than an old sheep." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Slaughter it
to make up for that, but it will not be sufficient for anybody else after you."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 73, Hadith 16
Yahya related to me from Malik from Suhayl ibn Abi Salih from his
father from Abu Hurayra that a man of the Aslam tribe said, "I did not
sleep last night." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said to him, "For what reason?" He said, "A scorpion
bit me." The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "Had you said in the evening, 'I seek refuge with the
complete words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, 'it
would not have happened."

Muwatta Malik Book 51, Hadith 11
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman
ibn Sad ibn Zurara that he had heard that Hafsa, the wife of the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, killed one of her
slave-girls who had used sorcery against her. She was a mudabbara.
Hafsa gave the order, and she was killed.
Malik said, "The
sorcerer is the one who uses sorcery for himself and no one else uses
that for him. It is like the one about whom Allah, the Blessed, the
Exalted, said in His Book, 'They know the one who devotes himself to
it will have no share in the Next World.' (Sura 2 ayat 102) I think
that that person is killed if he does that himself."
Muwatta Malik Book 43, Hadith 40
