ahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Bushayr
ibn Yasar that Abu Burda ibn Niyar sacrificed an animal before the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
sacrificed on the Day of Sacrifice. He asserted that the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ordered him to
sacrifice another animal, and he, Abu Burda, said, "What if I can only
find an animal less than one year old, Messenger of Allah?" He had
said, "If you can only find a young animal, then sacrifice it."
Muwatta Malik Book 23, Hadith 4
My father was martyred on the day (of the Ghazwa) of Uhud and left six daughters and some debts to
be paid. When the time of plucking the date-fruits came, I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! you know that my father was martyred on Uhud's day and owed much debt, and I wish that
the creditors would see you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and collect the various kinds of dates and place
them separately in heaps"' I did accordingly and called him. On seeing him, the creditors started
claiming their rights pressingly at that time. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw how they behaved, he went round
the biggest heap for three times and sat over it and said, "Call your companions (i.e. the creditors)."
Then he kept on measuring and giving them, till Allah cleared all my father's debts. By Allah, it would
have pleased me that Allah would clear the debts of my father even though I had not taken a single
date to my sisters. But by Allah, all the heaps were complete, (as they were) and I looked at the heap
where Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting and noticed as if not a single date had been taken thereof.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Qatan ibn Wahb ibn Umayr ibn
al-Ajda that Yuhannas, the mawla of az-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam informed
him that he was sitting with Abdullah ibn Umar during the troubles (at
the time of al-Hajaj ibn Yusuf) . A female mawla of his came and
greeted him. She said, "I want to leave, Abu Abd ar-Rahman. The time
is harsh for us." Abdullah ibn Umar said to her, "Sit down, O you with
little knowledge, for I have heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, say, 'No one will be patient in hunger
and hardship in it (Madina) except that I will be a witness or
intercede for him on the Day of Rising.' "
Muwatta Malik Book 45, Hadith 3
That people from the- tribe of 'Abdul-Qais came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, we belong to the tribe of Rabi'a and there live between you and us the unbelievers of the Mudar tribe and we find it impossible to come to you except in the sacred months; direct us to a deed which we must communicate to those who have been left behind us and by doing which we may enter heaven. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I enjoin upon you four (things) and forbid you to do four (things): worship Allah and associate none with Him, establish prayer, pay Zakat, and observe the fast of Ramadan, and pay the fifth part out of the booty. And I prohibit you from four (things): dry gourds, green-coloured jars, hollowed stumps of palm-trees, and receptacles. They (the members of the delegation) said: Do you know what al-naqir is? He replied: Yes, it is a stump which you hollow out and in which you throw small dates. Sa'id said: He (the Holy Prophet) used the word tamar (dates). (The Prophet then added): Then you sprinkle water over it and when its ebullition subsides, you drink it (and you are so intoxicated) that one amongst you, or one amongst them (the other members of your tribe, who were not present there) strikes his cousin with the sword. He (the narrator) said: There was a man amongst us who had sustained injury on this very account due to (intoxication), and he told that he tried to conceal it out of shame from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I, however, inquired from the Messenger of Allah (it we discard those utensils which you have forbidden us to use), then what type of vessels should be used for drink? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: In the waterskin the mouths of which are tied (with a string). They (again) said: Prophet of Allah, our land abounds in rats and water-skins cannot remain preserved. The holy Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said: (Drink in water-skins) even if these arenibbled by rats. And then (addressing) al-Ashajj of 'Abdul-Qais he said: Verily, you possess two such qualities which Allah loves: insight and deliberateness.
